Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Wu Sansheng was leading Da Kui in one direction. Hinata Hoshino recalled the map in Wang Pangzi's bag; he should be heading towards the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress.

The mission to rescue Private Wu Xie has officially begun, and Thirteen-Star General Hyuga Hoshino is warming up. Note 1

Hinata Hoshino saw that Wu Xie was not in immediate danger, but given Wu Xie's reputation as the leader of the Evil Sect, he should be in danger soon, so Hinata Hoshino decided to walk over slowly.

Hei Xiazi looked at the dirty leather jacket with a pained expression; it was a big brand and very difficult to wash.

At this moment, Wu Xie was still crawling in the cramped space. Hinata Hoshino remembered that in that drama, there should have been a sponsor's product at the corner. Oh, this is the real world.

It's really strange that an unopened beverage would suddenly appear in a tomb.

Pan Zi has already encountered the corpse beetles, and Fatty Wang is on his way. It is estimated that the three of them will be able to meet them around the time Hyuga Hoshino arrives at the designated location.

Where did the guy go? Hinata Hoshino was still thinking when the guy appeared in her field of vision. His destination was the same as Hinata Hoshino's: rushing to rescue someone.

Panzi had been chased into a dead end by the swarm of corpse beetles. The beetles had bitten him several times, and there were still dead beetles in his wounds.

The situation was quite dangerous; Panzi seemed to see his great-grandmother waving at him.

Wu Xie discovered a loose floorboard in front of him. He flipped it over and found Pan Zi lying on the ground beneath it, barely alive.

Seeing no corpse beetles, he jumped down without a second thought to save Panzi, who then shouted.

"Young Master, don't come down. There are many corpse beetles down there."

The image of the boatmen being divided into equal parts was still vivid in Wu Xie's mind. Fearing that Pan Zi would suffer the same fate, Wu Xie reached out to pull Pan Zi up.

Pan Zi writhed against the wall, trying to straighten up and reach Wu Xie's hand. His wound tore open, causing Pan Zi to cry out in pain.

"Swish"

An astonishing number of corpse beetles appeared in Wu Xie's sight, and Wu Xie's forehead was covered in sweat. Could it be that he really couldn't save Pan Zi?

"Ahhh"

Wang Pangzi fell from another mechanism above Pan Zi's head. The mechanism was carefully closed, and Wang Pangzi could not return through the previous mechanism.

"I could have fallen and died."

Looking left and right, on one side were swarms of corpse beetles rushing towards them, on the other side was the seriously injured Pan Zi, and above them was Wu Xie reaching out his hand.

Without thinking, Fatty Wang pulled out a candle from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and held it in one hand with the lighter and the other with the candle, trying to scare away the corpse beetles.

Even as the fearless corpse beetles continued to pounce on Fatty Wang and Pan Zi, Wu Xie's eyes reddened.

Wu Xie deeply understands the feeling of meeting someone he wanted to protect at the age when he was most powerless.

The army of corpse beetles was about to engulf the two when the young man arrived, slit his wrist, and drew circles around them. The corpse beetles retreated but did not leave.

Looking at Xiao Ge's pale face and lips, Wu Xie understood why Hyuga Hoshino had stopped Xiao Ge in the Water Thief Cave. It turned out that his blood could repel the corpse beetles. However, he often cut his wrists, which explained why he was anemic.

Hinata Hoshino arrived at a mechanism. Fatty Wang went down from here, Little Brother went down from here, he was about to go down from here, and Black Bear might also go down from here.

Come on, let's make everyone pass through this obstacle course and boost our performance. With a "whoosh," Hinata Hoshino makes a dazzling entrance.

With a "whoosh," Black Bear followed closely behind and saw the swarm of corpse beetles.

"Wow, such a big scene. A kind person like me can't just stand by and watch someone die. Right, Second Master?"

Hyuga Hoshino began with Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams, and Empty Palm, clearing a space with a series of booming sounds, but the corpse beetles continued to rush forward.

Hinata Hoshino successfully entered the encirclement of the corpse beetles. Although it appeared that he was surrounded, he actually surrounded all the corpse beetles by himself.

Soft Fist - Bagua 128 Palms

He unleashed 128 palm strikes from every angle, covering 360 degrees, thickening the ground several centimeters in front of him, yet the number of corpse beetles remained unchanged.

Hinata Hoshino sneered, "Very well, you've angered me."

Gentle Fist - Reversal of Heaven

With his left foot as the center, he began to spin, releasing a large amount of chakra from his acupoints, forming a blue spherical rotating barrier.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

The rapidly spinning chakra generated intense heat upon contact with the corpse beetles, releasing a pungent, meaty aroma. The group felt a pang of hunger, but the thought of the corpse beetles' prey made the smell nauseating, and they began to gag.

Hyuga Hoshino stopped. From his Byakugan perspective, there were no more corpse beetles nearby. This time, he had essentially used up all his skills, consuming at least half of his chakra.

Exhaling a breath and smelling the odor, Hyuga Hoshino's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. Looking at the admiring gazes of the crowd, he swallowed his words back. Showing off in front of others depends on the occasion.

The young man walked up to Panzi, extended two fingers, and inserted them into Panzi's wound. The wound, which had already stopped bleeding, reopened, and Panzi felt as if his whole body was about to split apart.

Wu Xie tried to stop him, but Xiao Ge moved his hand quickly, and a small corpse beetle fell to the ground.

"Thank you, sir. I wonder if you have any more? If you do, please continue."

Pan Zi gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice. Wang Pangzi felt full of admiration. If it were him, he might have already fainted.

"No."

As always, it was simple and the smell was unpleasant, so everyone decided to go somewhere else to talk. During this time, Xiao Ge remained silent. Wang Pangzi thought he shouldn't be called Xiao Ge, but rather "Silent Bottle".

"I am Wu Xie, this is Wu Xingye, this is Pan Zi, this is Xiao Ge, I don't know his name, as for this one..."

Wu Xie enthusiastically introduced himself to Fatty Wang, and then introduced others as well.

"My surname is Wang, and people call me Fatty Wang."

"Hello, I'm Bai Yanzi. By the way, my real name is Zhang Qiling."

"Hello, I am Hei Xiazi."

Hinata Hoshino and Hei Xiazi shook hands with Wang Pangzi, who found the two quite interesting.

“I’m Fatty Wang, he’s Panzi, you’re White-Eyed, you’re Black-Blind, so what should Little Wu be?”

Wang Pangzi took the opportunity to joke with the group, but the group was also pondering what Wu Xie should be called.

"In my opinion, Wu Xie should be called Tianzhenzi, because he is innocent and naive."

"As my cousin, I think I should call him Wu Xinyanzi (meaning 'heart-eyed')."

"As a stranger, I should say something fair: Wu Xinyanzi is quite good."

Wu Xie, who was giving Pan Zi a quick bandage, glanced at them upon hearing this and indicated that he had nothing to say.

The young man glanced at the enthusiastic crowd, tightened his hood, and closed the bottle cap, indicating that he couldn't participate, but he was curious about what kind of person he was.

Note 1: MacArthur (5-star general), Ridgway (4-star general), and Clark (4-star general) can be combined to obtain the 13-star general Hyuga Hoshino.

Chapter 7 Aning, Nine-Headed Cypress

Wu Xie struggled forward carrying the battered Pan Zi on his back, as if crushed by life's hardships, and no one else was willing to help.

Hinata Hoshino couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he pressed on Pan Zi's acupoints. Pan Zi's complexion improved, and although he couldn't walk independently, he no longer needed Wu Xie to carry him; he only needed assistance.

The Hyuga clan's pressure point techniques can have some medical benefits, but they cannot replace medical ninjutsu, much less scientific medical treatment.

A figure dressed in a black leather jacket staggered towards her from the front, while a zombie-like figure chased after her from behind.

Seeing the face, Hinata Hoshino was certain it was Aning; there was no doubt about it, it couldn't be some female celebrity filming a movie. The other one, unsurprisingly, was likely a blood corpse.

Ah Ning raised her weapon, pulled the trigger a few times, and found she was out of bullets. She threw it aside, leaned against the wall, and looked at the approaching blood-soaked corpse with a look of despair on her face.

Hearing footsteps, Ah Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hinata Hoshino and the others. Rekindled with hope, she ran towards them.

They planned to shift the blame eastward, letting Hyuga Hoshino and the others deal with the blood corpses. After all, Hei Xiazi had taken money. Taking money to do things is only natural.

A Ning felt a sharp pain in her wound and collapsed forward, unable to move. Hyuga Hoshino felt a huge object fall towards her and caught her. Hyuga Hoshino twisted his neck and felt difficulty breathing.

Show your face, reveal Momonosuke's smile, despise Momonosuke, understand Momonosuke, and surpass Momonosuke.

If any man were in Momonosuke's shoes, he would inevitably feel envious. However, disliking Momonosuke doesn't mean disliking the possibility of such a story happening to oneself.

What kind of bad intentions could an ordinary elementary school student from the Hyuga family have?

Upon seeing the blood-soaked corpse, the young man moved swiftly, unleashing a Zhang family ancestral flying kick followed by an aerial spinning kick, repelling the blood-soaked corpse.

The black gold ancient sword was drawn from its sheath, slid across the palm of the hand, and slashed at the blood corpse. As the sword fell, wisps of green smoke rose from the blood corpse, and the blood corpse let out a furious roar.

The young man lightly touched the stone wall with his toes, flipped over, and landed behind the blood corpse. The blood corpse roared again and charged at the young man.

The young man's eyes met Hinata Hoshino's. For some reason, Hinata Hoshino roughly understood that it meant, "I'll distract him, you guys go first."

Ignoring Hinata Hoshino's hand gesture, Xiao Ge and the Blood Corpse disappeared before everyone's eyes.

From a distance, the young man easily lured away the blood corpses and headed to the Nine-Headed Cypress, where he seemed to have switched something. After he left, Wu Sansheng and Da Kui arrived from the other side, also switching something. After completing this, they returned to the tomb passage.

Hinata Hoshino looked at Wu Xie with pity. He was fine, but he wanted to make things difficult for Xie Zi.

Hyuga Hoshino looked at Aning. This move was quite daring. He adjusted the angle and tried again. There were still corpse worms wriggling in Aning's wound. Chakra threads probed into it, wrapped around the corpse worms, and with a flick of his hand, the lively corpse worms were pulled out.

He threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Speaking of which, Hinata Hoshino couldn't remember how many this was, but it should be about the same number as the number of small bread rolls. If this were a game, he would probably be able to get the title of Corpse Beetle Destroyer.

Hinata Hoshino looked at the still-bleeding wound and pressed a few pressure points on Aning. The bleeding stopped, but her complexion was still not good.

"Thank you."

The voice was very low, but Hinata Hoshino heard it clearly. He smiled and didn't take it seriously.

She knows Ah Ning quite well. If he says thank you now, but if there's a real conflict in the future, she won't hesitate to retaliate.

Helping A Ning along, Wu Xie picked up a tag with numbers engraved on it and walked at the back. He noticed that the numbers looked familiar; he seemed to have seen similar numbers on some corpses before.

The gears of fate began to turn. According to the original work, the next two years will be his busiest and happiest years.

In the following decade, Wu Xie underwent a visible transformation.

"Black Bear".

"I'm here, Boss Aning, please give me your orders."

Hei Xiazi took out a POS machine, rubbing his hands together. The meaning was clear: money for service.

"You'll get your money back once we get out; I don't have any on me right now. If you can guarantee my safe departure, I'll add another 100,000 after we get out."

"Okay, someone as kind as me will naturally trust the boss. The boss is generous."

A light appeared ahead, which should be the location of the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress. Wang Pangzi, eager to secure the prize, charged forward first.

"Fatty's prize, Fatty's here!"

As he approached the exit, he saw a bottomless abyss below. He braced his feet against the opening, leaned forward, and swung his arms a few times to steady himself.

Hinata Hoshino discovered gray powder near the cave entrance. Scanning the altar below and other passages, he realized it was celestial stone powder, applied later.
