Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 264 - 264 28 Cherry Blossoms Dance

264: Chapter 28 Cherry Blossoms Dance 264: Chapter 28 Cherry Blossoms Dance Soul Cutting Level Ninja, Ninja Army Leader.

She was a Manifestation Mage…

Most likely on the same Peak of Manifestation as Shiyu Ling.

The Superpower User, slightly dazzled by the opponent’s beauty, raised a palm in greeting, as ninjas do.

“domo, nice to meet you.

I am Gongsun Ce.”

Last time, he fought atop the train with the young mistress against a Ming Guest.

The Ming Guest, who had only used the strange phase of Manifestation, was still enough to push them to the brink of life and death.

Gongsun Ce received an unforgettable lesson from that battle, fully realizing how terrifying a martial arts master proficient in Impermanence Skill could be.

Now standing before him was another Manifestation Mage, her arms absolutely more complete than Linai’s, her mastery of martial arts—here called karate—might well be higher than that of Wildfire.

Gongsun Ce made a situational assessment, he should regard her as a foe on the same level as the Ming Blade-wielding Ming Guest!

Two more sets of footsteps approached; Shiyu Ling and Linai had arrived.

The Superpower User couldn’t afford to look back; all his attention was on the opponent before him.

The white-haired Sakura Dance stood at the front of the train, a short blade fastened at her waist.

“I heard that the cherry blossoms here are beautiful, is Sakura Dance-san also here to see the cherry blossoms?”

“The flowers of Hachimitsu are the treasures of Purple Island.” Her voice was soft, “I passed by here to admire the flowers and came to pay my respects.”

Gongsun Ce signaled to the two people behind him with a hand gesture, indicating that they should not act recklessly.

He relaxed his face and said,

“What a coincidence!

Since we’re all here to see the flowers, killing each other would ruin the scenic beauty.

How about we sit down for a cup of tea and have a chat, and then you continue your duties while I continue my journey?”

She actually nodded.

“Defeat today is unwarranted, it’s not suitable to commit violence.

I’ll leave it to Demon-san to decide.” Sakura Dance gripped the hilt of her blade, “To fight to the death, or to disembark.”

Defeat.

Gongsun Ce vaguely remembered this meant “to be the first to act is to admit defeat”.

In the ancient calendar, this was considered a lucky day, encouraging peaceful actions and avoiding the decision of victory or defeat.

“Unfortunately today, my fortunes seem to be bad; the auspicious day eludes me.

Furthermore…” the Superpower User stepped forward, “I’ve never been one to believe in this sort of thing.”

Clickity clack, clickity clack.

The Daotianji neared the forest, the wind blowing atop the train bringing a richer hue of cherry blossoms, almost concealing the four figures above.

An invisible force stirred the air, the sound of unsheathing mingling with the wind, and the moment they entered the forest, both struck in unison!

“Bind.” Countless telekinetic threads tensed, wrapping around the Ninja’s body from below.

Sakura Dance spun around, drawing her blade, her white sleeves fluttering like butterflies.

Using her Ninja Premonition Ability, she leapt up in advance to avoid the enemy’s initial strike and launched an attack from mid-air!

Short blade throw!

Was it a long-distance attack aimed at the enemy’s vitals?

The Superpower User created a barrier of white matter, using telekinesis to intercept the short blade.

Under tremendous oppressive force, Sakura Dance’s blade shattered into countless fragments…

But no!

The shape of the fragments had an unnatural arc, and the number of pieces was unnaturally high.

Surely anyone with a ninja’s dynamic vision could already see that the metal fragments had taken the shape of petals—it was Sakura Dance who had turned her short blade into cherry blossoms!

“Cherry Blossom Blizzard.”

The snow-like petals struck the pure white shield, causing Gongsun Ce to feel a tremendous blow.

The white-haired ninja landed, flipping forward to avoid the telekinetic blast, swinging a lethal karate chop at the Superpower User’s head.

“Yiya.” So fast!

Barely defended with telekinesis, and with his right hand clenched.

“Invisible Fist.” An invisible large fist smashed towards the ninja!

“Sakura Fall.” From within Sakura Dance’s sleeves flew thousands of petals, swirling towards the invisible force, canceling it out together.

She defended with Impermanence Skill, impressive!

Sakura Dance flipped to avoid the pursuit; Gongsun Ce took the chance to stabilize his white matter defenses.

The first round ended there, a breathtakingly close exchange that lasted less than 2 seconds.

The petals that had drifted by during their moves were only just landing on Chuyun Linai’s hood.

The stage was atop the train, not under the cherry trees, where martial prowess replaced songs and photos—this was the way of the ninja and the Superpower User to appreciate cherry blossoms—a spectacle of life and death more magnificent than the cherry blossoms themselves!

“Not only did you not activate Ninja Equipment, but you’re not even willing to declare your full powers?

Truly arrogant, Sakura Dance-san.” The Superpower User launched a verbal provocation.

“A messenger in too much of a hurry could literally work themselves to death.” Sakura Dance countered with a profound proverb, using the implication of haste leading to failure to beautifully refute the Superpower User.

A poet!

Pity the young man without the cultural background of Zero Island, he simply failed to understand!

“Are you saying you’re here to deliver a message?”

Sakura Dance’s eyes curved, a smile on her face.

The fluttering cherry blossoms reformed into the shape of a short blade in her hand.

She shook her sleeves, summoning a thousand white cherry blossoms, the sheer petals threatening to engulf the three of them.

Gongsun Ce cautiously pushed out his shield; the pure white bulwark was swept up by the pure white wind…but look!

Cracks appeared on the usually unbreakable white matter.

Crack!

The white matter shield shattered after holding for a second, and the broken Cherry Blossom Blizzard approached!

Slower than the Ming Blade…

but it still managed to shatter the white matter!

The difference between breaking through and not is qualitative.

“The Ninja Army Leader is stronger than I expected.” Gongsun Ce fully mobilized his telekinetic force, invisible might clashing with Sakura Dance’s white winds, creating a snowstorm in the sky.

Gongsun Ce took the opportunity to retreat with the others, having not yet understood the enemy’s true abilities, it was not wise to press in recklessly.

First, he aimed to probe her methods with a mid-range battle.

He retreated towards the farther carriages, first one, then two, then three, setting up traps along the way.

Sakura Dance returned her sword to its scabbard, charging forward, white petals at her side, akin to a Heavenly Maiden’s sash.

“White Matter Spikes.” The Superpower User snapped his fingers in succession, activating the traps set during the retreat, the sharp spikes two meters high shooting up from beneath Sakura Dance’s feet!

What a devious ambush, its malice rivaled even the inhuman weapon of caltrops!
