Wind Demon Grey Wolf would not give Guixiao any chance to catch her breath. He quickly withdrew several kunai from his waist and hurled them toward her. These were no ordinary weapons; he had imbued them with the "Heavenly Illusion Kunai" ninjutsu. As the kunai flew, their trajectories shifted constantly, weaving left and right in a way that defied prediction. Silver light flickered across their surfaces, shimmering like nimble silk threads that wove complex patterns in the air. These patterns morphed as the weapons traveled, blurring Guixiao’s vision and making it impossible to anticipate their path.
Guixiao kept her eyes locked on the incoming projectiles, focusing her mental energy to divine their course. "These trajectories are far too erratic, but I must block them." Her gaze was intense, and a thin sheen of sweat beaded on her forehead. Relying on her sharp reflexes, she parried several of the kunai with her bone blades, but a few grazed her skin. The blades seemed to be coated in some sort of poison, and she felt a sudden, numbing itch at the sites of the wounds. Guixiao could feel the toxin burrowing into her flesh like a parasite.
"Poison! This is trouble." Her heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm. "I must suppress the toxin first; I cannot let it compromise the fight." She hurriedly channeled her internal energy, attempting to purge the poison from her wounds. A faint, ghostly light shimmered over the injuries as her power clashed with the venom.
