The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 343 Fists and Guns: Lei Tao and Xu Keming End the Ninja's Sorrow

The ninja battling Lei Tao was exhausted from dealing with his baton blows. He wanted a quick victory, so he found an opportunity to distance himself from Lei Tao by more than ten meters. He quickly pulled out a bottle of a mysterious blue liquid, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his mouth. He tossed the empty bottle aside and said, "Chinaman, you forced me to take the banned drug. You're dead!"

After taking the drug, the ninja's aura suddenly changed, his muscles instantly expanding at a speed so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Lei Tao, and with a sharp sound of cutting through the wind, the dagger pierced Lei Tao's throat. Lei Tao's pupils suddenly constricted, and he instinctively leaned back. The dagger grazed his Adam's apple, leaving a trace of blood.

"This banned drug is so powerful!" Lei Tao was secretly shocked. He didn't dare to slack off at all, and secretly used secret techniques to activate his potential.

After activating his potential, Lei Tao's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility, and his aura changed accordingly. He stopped defending passively and, taking advantage of the moment when the ninja's old strength had just faded and new strength had not yet emerged, he swung his baton with a whirring sound, like a nimble steel whip, straight at the ninja's wrist.

The ninja, startled, quickly pulled back, his dagger arcing in front of him, attempting to deflect the club's attack. A resounding clang erupted, sparks flew from the metal-on-metal collision, and the immense force of the impact numbed the ninja's arm, nearly causing him to lose the dagger. Unable to understand the sudden surge in Lei Tao's strength, he could no longer underestimate him. He retreated, attempting to distance himself and find another opportunity.

Lei Tao wouldn't give him a break. He unleashed his elusive steps, following closely behind him like a shadow. His baton streaked through the air, attacking the ninja from various angles, forcing him into a panic. The ninja gritted his teeth, relying on his drug-induced reflexes to narrowly avoid the baton's attacks time and again, all the while searching for openings to strike back.

Suddenly, the ninja seized the moment between Lei Tao's attacks and sprang up like a spring, slashing the dagger from top to bottom with a fierce force straight at Lei Tao's head. Lei Tao's eyes glared, and he leaned slightly to the side, swinging his baton backhand, lashing the ninja's abdomen with a fierce "puff" sound.

The ninja's eyes widened instantly, and a breath of foul air erupted from his mouth. His body flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with its string cut. He slammed heavily into the cave wall with a loud bang, but he seemed to feel no pain. He jumped up with a somersault and half-knelt on the ground. He looked at Lei Tao with red eyes, blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards Lei Tao with a dagger in hand.

At this moment, there was a murderous intent in Lei Tao's eyes. He swung his left hand backwards and took out an M1911 pistol from the Bagua gyroscope space. He hooked and lifted his back foot to load the gun and release the safety. He raised the pistol and fired three shots in a row "bang, bang, bang" at the ninja who was rushing towards him. All the bullets hit the ninja's chest, but under the effect of the banned drugs, he seemed to have no sense of pain at all. He just shook his body and continued to rush towards Lei Tao with a roar.

Lei Tao quickly adjusted the muzzle of the gun again. This time, he locked the target on the ninja's head. His finger quickly pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed out of the barrel like a deadly meteor, pouring towards the ninja's head, emptying the magazine in an instant.

In a split second, the ninja's seemingly indestructible form collapsed backward like a puppet with its strings cut, hitting the ground with a thud, sending up a cloud of dust. Blood gushed from the densely packed bullet holes in his head, trickling down his bloodless face, staining the ground with a startling dark crimson. Lei Tao's tense nerves didn't relax. He stared at the ninja's falling form warily, quickly reloading his pistol and firing another shot into the ninja's head.

With a bang, the bullet pierced the ninja's skull with unerring precision, leaving another bloody hole in his head. The powerful impact of the bullet caused the ninja's already limp body to tremble violently, and the dust that had been kicked up was stirred up again by the force before it could completely settle.

After making sure the ninja was completely dead, Lei Tao slowly put down his gun and put the baton into the Bagua spinning top space. He raised his hand and wiped the stains of sweat and dust from his face. He gasped for breath and thought: "The battle just now was too dangerous. Under the influence of drugs, this ninja's strength is beyond imagination..."

Lei Tao, pistol in hand, quickly turned to look in Xu Keming's direction. Xu Keming was locked in a fierce battle with another ninja. The ninja clutched his katana with both hands, its blade gleaming with cold light. With a fierce aura, he slashed down at Xu Keming's head. Xu Keming held the katana firmly in both hands, blade pointing upward, accurately blocking the ferocious blow.

There was a loud clang, sparks flew from the collision of metal, and the powerful impact made both Xu Keming and the ninja's arms numb. Taking advantage of this brief stalemate, a thought quickly flashed through Xu Keming's mind: We can't continue in this stalemate, we must end this quickly.

His gaze flashed, instantly spotting the ninja's weakness. Just as the ninja attempted to withdraw his katana, preparing to launch another attack, Xu Keming exerted force, his right hand gripping the demon-headed sword pressing down, pinning the ninja's katana firmly, preventing it from moving. Simultaneously, his prosthetic hand retracted with lightning speed, his elbow slightly bent, gathering strength.

In an instant, Xu Keming unleashed a swift, one-inch punch. With a whirring sound, his prosthetic hand struck the ninja's heart with unerring precision. The punch, seemingly delivered at a very short distance, packed astonishing explosive power. The ninja's body felt like it had been struck by lightning, his eyes widening instantly, his face filled with terror and disbelief.

As the punch landed, the ninja's body flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with its string cut. He arced through the air, slamming heavily into the cave wall with a dull thud. Then he slowly slid down, collapsing to the ground in a cloud of dust. The katana slipped from his limp grasp, landing on the ground with a resounding clang.

Xu Keming panted slightly, gripping his broadsword tightly as he stared warily at the fallen ninja. The ninja's chest heaved violently, blood gushed from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with despair and pain. He struggled to get up, but found that all his strength seemed to have been drained away in an instant, leaving him twitching in vain.

Seeing this, Lei Tao quickly ran over, the gun in his hand still emitting wisps of green smoke. He looked at the fallen ninja and said to Xu Keming, "Brother Xu, your punch was awesome, but you lost. I'm faster than you!" He raised his pistol and shook it.

Xu Keming said: "Hey, Brother Lei, you are cheating, but all is fair in war, and this trick is quite effective against the Japanese. After the mission is over, I will buy you a drink."

Lei Tao laughed heartily, put the safety of his pistol into its holster, and reached out to help Xu Keming up: "Brother Xu, I've got this wine in mind. After we kill those bastards like Uesugi Kazuya and Muto Muraki, we won't leave until we're drunk!"
