Aside from the initial taijutsu probing, Otsutsuki Soki immediately unleashed a major technique.
The forcibly infused power could not sustain him in prolonged combat. He had to end this quickly.
But the choice of technique mattered as well. His opponent was incredibly fast and could use Space-Time Ninjutsu, so Soki chose Amamitsuba.
This was one of the few ocular techniques he could wield, and it was an exceptionally powerful one.
Amamitsuba's greatest feature was its ability to restrict an opponent's range of movement while summoning six equally powerful clones to attack.
Sure enough... as the six figures took their positions and that giant dragon came crashing down, the surrounding space was locked down. Even Chen could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape this Chakra prison.
One of the clones sneered. "Do you think you can withstand the power of the Ancestor's Eye?"
The clone standing directly before Chen also mocked him. "Since you're so eager to die, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Within the pillar of light, Chen knelt on one knee, his entire body shrouded by a blue giant as he desperately resisted the dragon.
The mature Susanoo clenched its Spiral Sword in its right hand, its tip pressed against the dragon's head, yet it could not pierce even an inch.
Under the immense pressure, Chen's body began to tremble, and ripples spread across the form of his Susanoo as well.
It was easy to imagine that if the dragon truly came down, Chen would surely die.
But a Susanoo of this level simply could not withstand the dragon crashing down upon it. It was merely holding on by force. Though it had not yet completely fallen apart, it was already showing signs of collapse.
Chen began forming Hand Seals with both hands.
