The Bizarre Sound Attack (Part 1)

As Leins and his three shadows gradually conjured two Kubikiribōchō made of golden flames in their hands, an astonishing energy erupting from them, sending leaves and pebbles flying. The gathering of power didn't stop there; ripples spread from the golden flame blades before the transformation ceased.

"You should know the properties of my flames, right? Do you think this will be useful?" Issui asked doubtfully.

"Your fiery body, while immune to physical attacks, should still be able to harm you with non-physical attacks. Concentrating the flames on your body only counts as a physical attack, as it primarily relies on the physical body. That's why, even though I had golden flames on my body, I still passed right through you. But if I unleash the full power of my Golden Flame, it'll be a different story. Can your fiery body withstand my God-Devouring Golden Flame? I'm not sure, but we'll find out once we try, won't we? Take the attack of the Golden Flame! God-Slaying Slash, strike!"

Leins and his three shadows raised their swords high, and immense energy gathered on the golden flame broadswords, shooting straight into the sky and dyeing the sky golden. In the blink of an eye, eight golden flame broadswords fell and struck Issui.

"Sizzle..."

The golden flames and the Amaterasu flames collided and caused a tremendous repulsion. Neither would give way, and they became entangled, making Issui feel as if her body was about to dissipate.

The entire body of the Issui flames was covered by golden flames, enveloping him completely in golden flames.

"Did it succeed? No, then what is it?"

Just when Leins thought his attack was about to succeed, an invisible hand emerged from the black and golden flames, merging the two different flames together. Gradually, the body of Issui transformed into a body of flames that was half black and half gold, giving people an extremely strange feeling.

Just as Issui felt his body was on the verge of collapse from the torment of the two flames, a power suddenly emerged from the Eye of Heaven, suppressing both flames completely. He also felt he possessed a powerful flame capable of absorbing the enemy's spirit. "Isn't this the Leins's Hand: God-Devouring Golden Flame? I actually assimilated it! Sure enough, I was right. The Flame Body's characteristic of immunity to Fire Style means it's immune to all fire, not that your flame isn't immune just because it's different from ordinary flames. I never imagined that this immunity to Fire Style damage is like the king of fire; all flames must submit to it!"

"How is this possible? I remember that the flames of the God Level magical beast predecessors who possessed similar abilities were not immune to other flames, let alone absorb and fuse them into one. In that case, wouldn't your flame body be too overpowered? Wouldn't a strong person who is only proficient in fire elements be completely useless in your hands, and instead become stronger? No, impossible, such a thing is impossible..." This was the first time that Leins had become so agitated, not out of fear, but because he couldn't believe this ability. Wouldn't this greatly reduce his strength?

"Haha... Nothing is impossible in this world. Perhaps your God Level magical beast senior isn't immune to other special flames. But think about it from another angle. You said the bloodline in my body is perfect blood, a collection of the bloodline powers of many God Level experts. It's also possible that my Flame Body is a collection of two or more bloodline powers, so it's not only immune to physical attacks but also to all fire attacks. That should provide a theoretical basis, right?" Issui explained.

"Yes, you're right. Your bloodline Secret Technique is likely a combination of two or more abilities, which is why it unleashes such powerful strength. That makes me even more determined to eliminate you. Your Perfect Bloodline makes me feel a little afraid." Leins dispelled the three shadows and extinguished the golden flames on his body. Since the power of fire was ineffective, he had to use other abilities. It seemed that his hidden abilities were about to be revealed for the first time.

"What, you're not attacking me anymore? How are you going to subdue me? Your most confident flames are no longer effective, are they?" Although Issui said this, he didn't really mean it. Looking at the calm appearance of this Blazing Liger, it seemed that he wasn't afraid of fighting, but rather preparing some powerful move. His own flame body was also about to be used up.

"To be honest, I wouldn't reveal my trump card that I've been hiding for so long unless it was absolutely necessary. But since the flames have started to fade, I also want to kill you, so I have no choice but to show you the trump card that I've been hiding all this time. Even though your flame body has fused with several powerful bloodline powers, the weaknesses of this body must have been preserved. It's about time for it to cool down, isn't it?" Leins said calmly.

Five minutes have passed, Issui gradually faded, revealing fresh flesh. It's time.

"You're right, time's up, there's a one-minute cooldown period." Issui nodded helplessly.

"One minute? That's enough. Now let me show you my true strength and trump cards. Do you know why I'm called the Blazing Liger? Fiery refers to my God-Devouring Golden Flame, and Lion-Tiger represents my race, the relatively rare Lion-Tiger race among my magical beasts. The lion's power is sound, the tiger's power is wind, and so on. My strength is a combination of the God-Devouring Golden Flame, sound, and wind powers. Each level increases my strength. Fiery Flame is my weakest ability, sound is my second strongest, and wind is my strongest. To be able to use the second level of power, you're already quite impressive."

Leins described his abilities one by one.

"What?" Issui hadn't expected that this Leins was hiding such formidable power. Moreover, the God-Devouring Golden Flame was only his weakest power. How could this be? He had two even more powerful powers. Damn it, although he already thought he was very powerful, he didn't expect him to be this strong. It seems that this time things really can't end well. There might even be deaths.

"Fear it, taste the feeling of sound. Roar... Blood Burst..."

Leins roared at Issui, and a series of spatial explosions erupted from the center, with ripples spreading outwards, affecting Issui's body as well.

"Puff... puff... puff..."

One by one, the blood vessels in Issui's body severed...

"Peng..."

Suddenly Issui turned into a wisp of white smoke. It was a substitute! What a close call! If it were the real body, it would probably have died from ruptured blood vessels. Leins's sonic attack is far more powerful than the Ninjutsu of the Otogakure Orochimaru. It's practically impossible to defend against. It's terrifying! He actually concealed his power within sound waves, which penetrated the skin and directly damaged the blood vessels inside the body. It's too horrible.

"Come out here! Roar... Earth Split!"

Leins suddenly roared at a patch of ground, and ripples spread through the air. When the ripples touched the ground, it was blasted to pieces.

Issui emerged disheveled from the earth, his hands rapidly Hand Seals: "Water Release - Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

The Issui spewed out a large amount of water, creating a lake environment suitable for combat. The entire valley was flooded with water, turning it into a small lake.

"Hmph, whatever tricks you try, they're useless against my voice. Roar... Water Howl!"

Floating in the air, dodging Issui spray of water, it roared again, sending ripples crashing onto the lake, but seemingly to no avail. Leins wasn't disappointed; instead, he sneered endlessly. The lake in the valley began to surge, with huge waves spreading out from its center, crashing against the valley walls and shattering the stone.

Issui had originally intended for the water to shield him from the sound attack, but even the gentlest water couldn't withstand Leins's sonic waves. It seemed his voice wasn't just any ordinary sound; it definitely had its weaknesses. Upon closer analysis, all his attacks were based on concentric ripples, from the initial Blood Burst to the Earth Split, and finally the Water Howl —they all required contact with these objects to be effective. If his voice couldn't reach my body, wouldn't I be safe?

The problem is that while any defense can provide temporary protection, it will instantly shatter once attacked by his voice. This happens repeatedly, leaving him with only defensive capabilities. A single misstep could result in being attacked by his voice. What's terrifying is that his voice attack isn't achieved through hearing, but through the contact of ripples.

Perhaps he won't be able to attack me once I enter the Sumeru Space, but wouldn't that be running away? The outcome would be the same once I come out, making my coming here to fight Leins pointless. In that case, it's better not to have come at all.

"Hmph, you can't escape. My voice doesn't mean you can't be attacked just because you ignore it. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. I'll drag you out. Haha, tremble! Although you have Perfect Bloodline, it's a mistake for you to be so arrogant as to compare yourself to a God Level magical beast like me who has been a god for so long. If it were someone like Xiaotian, you might have some power to resist, and you might even be able to kill them. But that won't work on me. I have completely surpassed the strength you can achieve. Even if your talent is powerful, you can't defeat me under these circumstances." Leins stared intently at the surging lake below as he spoke.

Issui had absolutely no idea how to deal with such an enemy. What to do? He kept yelling, and no matter where I hid or what kind of defense I used, it was useless. If I could just make him keep yelling, yes, make him shut up, then it would be useless, right? So how could I make him shut up? This was a real problem. I had to come up with a solution, otherwise, after a while, he would find me.
