Xiao Zhan ran towards Hattori Mansion, his face calm but his understanding of the spatial attribute deepened in his heart.
Previously, he relied on the Death Aura in combat and seldom used the spatial attribute.
From his battle with Hattori Kaji, he realized that the spatial attribute also had a tremendous effect, not inferior to the Death Attribute at all.

Had he not grasped the spatial attribute himself, Xiao Zhan might have met his demise at the hands of Hattori Kaji today.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time now, and developing a skill required a lot of time.
Just now, it was only by luck and using his powerful Perception Skill to analyze Hattori Kaji’s method of using the Space Skill, and thereby deduce the correct way to release it, that Xiao Zhan managed to catch him off guard and instantly kill Hattori Kaji.
Otherwise, Xiao Zhan would have needed to take at least two or three more hits to figure it out.
He was keen to develop it, but truly, there wasn’t much time, and so Xiao Zhan could only give up for now.
He turned back towards Hattori Mansion.
At this moment, the battle here was reaching a heated stage, members of Death’s Hand and the Chiba Family clashed fiercely with the ninjas of Hattori Mansion, fighting forgetfully.
With a sweep of his Perception, overseeing the entire scene, Xiao Zhan saw that their side had a slight advantage.
With Hose’s aid, coupled with the murderous skills from Death’s Hand, they could handle these ninjas. Although a bit unfamiliar at the start, they quickly adapted and forced the ninjas into a rout.
However, the men of Chiba Yichiryu were no match for the ninjas and were being severely suppressed.
After Xiao Zhan arrived, he jumped onto a roof and shouted to the ninjas on the battlefield, "Hattori Kaji is dead, those who surrender, I’ll spare your lives!"
Immediately, many turned their gaze towards him.
Upon seeing the head he was holding, which was indeed Hattori Kaji’s, a flicker of panic crossed their faces, rendering them at a loss for a moment.
"For the Family Head’s revenge!"
Just then, a person who seemed to be a lead ninja suddenly shouted.
He shouted, and immediately focused all the ninjas’ thoughts. All the ninjas roared and charged towards the nearest enemy.
Even some ninjas close to Xiao Zhan directly charged towards him.
"Hmph, courting death."
Xiao Zhan snorted coldly, releasing a clump of black flames from his hand, instantly turning Hattori Kaji’s head to ashes.
Then he leaped into the crowd, wreaking havoc.
With his addition, their side, which already had some advantage, now dominated even more overwhelmingly.
In just a few minutes, Hattori Kaji’s ninjas were either dead or crippled, with only about a dozen left struggling desperately.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were watching this place.
"Lord Yamagami, should we take action now, or not?"
The person at the front, with one pair of eyes showing shock, looked to the pair of eyes beside him and asked.
The man called Koizumi Yamagami asked.
His eyes carried a trace of fear.
They were sent by Koizumi Hideo to assist Xiao Zhan and his group.
More precisely, they were here to reap the benefits from others’ toil.
In Koizumi Hideo’s view, Xiao Zhan and his group didn’t have the power to win against Hattori Kaji.
But, Koizumi Hideo needed them to win. Rather, he needed both sides to not win, and to keep battling each other, a fight to the death, which was what he wanted to see.
So, he sent a portion of his men to wait until Xiao Zhan and his group couldn’t cope any longer and then join in to assist Xiao Zhan.
However, the group he sent never expected that before they could make a move, Xiao Zhan had resolved the battle.
And moreover, almost at a very low cost.
Koizumi Yamagami took out his communicator and dialed Koizumi Hideo, the communication was connected quickly.
"How’s the situation? Is it time to send someone to reap the benefits?"
On the other end, Koizumi Hideo said confidently.
"Family Head, things are not exactly as we imagined."
"Not quite the same? What do you mean by that?"
Koizumi Yamagami said, "Family Head, we didn’t even make a move, Xiaoye Shiyilang and his people have exterminated the Hattori Family, and even beheaded Hattori Kaji!"
"What? What did you say? Say that again?"
Koizumi Hideo couldn’t believe his words.
His face contorted and his mind turned into a muddle, unable to comprehend how Xiao Zhan could possibly have eradicated the Hattori Family?
And even beheaded Hattori Kaji!
"Family Head, I saw it with my own eyes, it’s absolutely true!"
Koizumi Yamagami said apprehensively.
He also didn’t want to believe it, but the fact was right in front of him, what could he do?
"Send me the footage, I want to see what happened!"
Koizumi Yamagami immediately transmitted the footage.
Koizumi Hideo saw it and his face darkened, "What is this, where is the earlier footage, from the beginning?"
"Family Head, for some reason, the signal was blocked at the beginning, it wasn’t recorded."
Koizumi Hideo cursed loudly!
"If you can’t even handle this, what use do I have for you!"
Then he forcibly calmed himself down, looking at the scene in the middle where Xiao Zhan’s figure, like a fierce god, unmatched, and the people behind him, Koizumi Hideo began to pick through the clues.
Xiao Zhan’s appearance was too sudden, his strength vast, his origins mysterious, and his actions utterly ruthless. In just a few days, he had destroyed two families.
What exactly was his purpose?
Is he really a person from the Baka Federation?
He looked again to the people behind Xiao Zhan, many of whom were masked, resembling ninjas, yet not ninjas.
With his knowledge, these people were not from the Chiba Family.
Then they must be the people Xiao Zhan brought.
To bring so many people, each with incredible strength, without the backing of a family was impossible.
But the families of the Baka Federation, including those hidden families, there wasn’t one Koizumi Hideo didn’t know about. Thus, he couldn’t help but doubt again, is Xiao Zhan really a person from the Baka Federation?
Just as he was pondering, Koizumi Youtaemon entered.
He looked at the screen and quickly understood everything.
"What are you planning to do now?"
He looked at Koizumi Hideo.
Koizumi Hideo gathered his thoughts, pondered for a while and said, "When the snipe and the clam grapple, it is the fisherman who profits!"
He no longer cared whether Xiao Zhan was from the Baka Federation or not, regardless of whether he was or wasn’t, he had to kill him.
He immediately took out his communicator and dialed a number, "Kenjiro-kun, Xiaoye Shiyilang has appeared in Hattori Mansion and has launched a sneak attack on the Hattori Family."
