Chapter 543: The Hostage
A strong gust of wind swept through the surrounding area, and the light from the explosion illuminated the entire Hidden Sand Village, making it a bright day for a couple of seconds.
The battle between Deidara and Gaara did not take place on the ground, but at a high altitude. Gaara also had the ability to fly. The sand that he controlled with his chakra could float through the air.
The two people in the sky couldn't determine the winner yet and fought with all their might. Even if Deidara loses, Sasori on the outskirts of Hidden Sand Village will intervene in the fight.
Su Xiao ignored the two people in the sky and fought with Temari.
— A call: High-speed Decapitation Dance — " with a wave of his large fan, a whirlwind appeared out of nowhere in front of Temari.
The vortex itself was not dangerous, but Kamatari, who walked in the vortex and created blades, could cut through everything in its path.
Su Xiao's body was slightly bent, and he was making a huge effort to not be blown away. His dark pupils narrowed slightly. — One, two, three... When Su Xiao finished counting, he put the Dragon Flash in front of him, and a total of fifteen blades hidden in this vortex rushed towards him.
These blades were aimed at Su Xiao's forehead, neck, and cheeks, but even so, his entire body began to tingle, which was one of the most important warnings of his perception.
Qing Gang Yin's energy enveloped the Dragon Flash, and Su Xiao slashed at it several times at great speed.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Sparks flew from the Dragon Flash blade, and a pair of blades flew past Su Xiao's cheeks, eventually smashing through the wall of the building behind him.
After swinging his sword once more, Su Xiao immediately moved towards Temari. Although his pace wasn't very fast, Temari didn't dare take a step back.
— This... How is this possible? Temari was obviously taken aback, for this was the first time she had seen something like this. Usually, her opponents would dodge or try to block her technique, but for the first time, someone decided to cut her blades apart.
Su Xiao was still moving forward. Given Temari's fighting style, if he wasn't at her side in less than half a minute, he would definitely die.
Temari glared at Su Xiao. Just as she was about to retreat, an inexplicable dangerous feeling appeared in her heart.
«If I take a step back, I will die," this thought seemed to appear out of nowhere in Temari's mind, but she immediately stopped, causing the distance between them to continue to gradually shorten.
And Temari's feelings didn't fail her. If she decided to retreat, Su Xiao would immediately be at her side with Soru's help.
Su Xiao continued to slowly move forward as cold sweat dripped down Temari's forehead. Her enemy seemed to be full of flaws, but all her search for Temari had failed to bring her any results.
The atmosphere became extremely tense, and Temari's heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible big hand.
— Temari finally waved her large fan vigorously and picked up the yellow sand, and it immediately rushed towards Su Xiao.
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
When the yellow sand cleared, Su Xiao saw Temari with a ragged wound on his chest. Her wound was bleeding a little and revealed a view of her chest.
Temari was covering her chest with one hand, and her pupils were trembling violently. She was a medium-range fighter and was the worst at close combat, but now she was trapped.
An elusive 'aura' hung around both of them. This aura is barely visible white lines that seemed to cover everything and everything.
When Su Xiao had just started getting close to Temari, she had focused all of her attention on him, which resulted in her not keeping an eye on the space around her at all.
— Temari! Kankuro roared with a dozen Shinobi on his back. They were all his trusted companions.
Temari beamed with joy when she saw him.
*Boom!*
There was a sudden explosion. One of the shinobi flew up into the sky. Because of his haste, he didn't look at the ground and stepped right on the bomb, which completely lost one of his legs.
His shouts immediately brought the reinforcements to a standstill.
— Don't get too close, those bombs were planted by that guy in the sky!
But Temari's suggestion was wrong. These were the alchemy bombs that Su Xiao had thrown out earlier. All of them hid in the sand by themselves and would explode the moment someone stepped on them.
Kankuro and his assistants were faced with a dilemma. If they don't support Temari, she'll end up losing. If they supported her, some of them would definitely die.
— Earth Element: Underground Movement — " one of the shinobi pressed one hand to the ground and it shuddered several times, after which everything went quiet.
He thought that with this technique, he could make the bombs explode.
But to his surprise none of the bombs went off in the end.
*Boom!*
There was another explosion. Another shinobi stepped on the bomb, but since he was quite strong, he only lost part of his leg up to the knee.
Seeing this, Kankuro took out a puppet from his back and decided to support Temari from a distance.
The other shinobi decided to follow suit — all of them launching ranged attacks at Su Xiao.
A transparent barrier immediately appeared above Su Xiao's body and he immediately charged straight at Temari.
Su Xiao attacked her without hesitation, and Temari immediately attacked him back.
— Sickle Weasel Technique.
This technique was a more advanced version of the vortex with even more pressure and more powerful blades.
Smoke and dust rose up around Su Xiao's body. Not only did the blades hit him, but the shinobi's attacks also hit him.
*Crackle~*
Su Xiao's figure shot out from the dust and smoke. The shield around his body was more like a spider web, but that didn't matter anymore. He was only three meters away from Temari.
A barrage of barely visible threads appeared behind Temari.
— Secret Technique... Temari waved her large fan, and Su Xiao responded by slashing at her fan with his sword.
*Ding~*
A dragon flash cut through the air and sliced the fan apart.
Temari's fan wasn't a melee weapon, so it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Dragon's Flash.
Temari clenched her teeth tightly, and her eyes were filled with helplessness. Kankuro, seeing this, was very alarmed. - Temari!
*Pouf*
A long blade sliced through the air and a trail of blood appeared on Temari's collarbone, and a moment later, everyone saw her bone.
Su Xiao's sword blade could cut Temari's throat, but this girl could be very useful.
Killing her wasn't something difficult. Along with this cut, a new batch of Qing Gang Yin energy entered her body, but this time, the pain was too much.
— Ah!Temari screamed, and the chakra in her body went into chaos. Su Xiao took the opportunity to get behind her, then grabbed her neck with one hand.
All the shinobi who were about to attack Su Xiao again were stopped by Kankuro's shout. If they attacked Su Xiao again, they might end up injuring Temari.
Temari's shout was also heard by Gaara as he glanced at the battlefield on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Su Xiao was gripping the back of Temari's neck, and the Dragon Flash blade was pressed against the front of Temari's white neck. Because of the sharpness of the Dragon's Flash, even the light touch of the blade on the skin left a mark on Temari's throat.
— Kx-x-x... Kx-x-x... Temari's eyes were wide and she was breathing heavily. Fear gripped her.
