Chapter 494: Living and Dying Together

Two fists are hard to match against four hands, and even a ferocious tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. With no alternatives, Shadow was forced to give up a prime opportunity to attack. Squatting down, he dodged the attacks coming from above, swung his long sword three times in rapid succession to block the lower strikes, and with a sweeping leg kick, he sent a Ninja crashing to the ground. Seizing the chance, Shadow darted away, leaping out of the circle formed by his four assailants. Then, with a sudden return, his long sword traced a streak like a meteor, aimed straight at a Ninja.

The Ninjas hadn't expected Shadow to counterattack instead of fleeing when the opportunity arose, and their formation was instantly thrown into disarray. The gaze of the Ninja locked onto by Shadow flashed with a glint of desperation. Instead of retreating, he charged at the long sword, completely disregarding his own life as he thrust his blade fiercely at Shadow.
