Xu Fan and Oda Tenshu shared a similar thought: under the public eye, it was indeed not suitable to kill someone in the street.
Otherwise, the four shuriken would not have merely penetrated Oda Tenshu's limbs at the wrists; they should have pierced through his chest and back, his neck, and forehead, leading him to die instantly on the spot.
Oda Tenshu, struck by the shuriken, cried out in pain. His momentum for attack immediately dissipated as his True Qi, like a pricked balloon, rapidly escaped. The two ninjato in his hands fell to the ground as his grip loosened, and his knees buckled powerlessly to the ground.
His face turned deathly pale, then his expression suddenly changed.
Because most ninjas' shuriken are coated with poison to ensure that even if they do not hit a vital spot, the target would be quickly poisoned to death.
