"Cough... cough, cough..."
The cold winter wind stirred Yuzhen's already flagging spirits. Seeing the enemy lying dead beyond dead before him, he couldn't help letting out a long breath.
Objectively speaking, he had to thank this powerful enemy for "cooperating" with him.
If Jiongu Lu hadn't had so many hearts serving as external chakra nodes, Yuzhen wouldn't have been able to replenish his chakra during the battle.
In that case, even after awakening Boil Release, he would have lost after falling into the predicament of exhausting his chakra.
The battlefield left behind by their clash was a horrifying sight. Tenshukaku had basically been destroyed.
Once the fiercest part of the battle was over, five or six ninja finally climbed up to Tenshukaku. However, when they saw the ruined building and Jiongu Lu's corpse, they felt their scalps go numb.
Not to mention that the upper half of Tenshukaku had already become a pile of rubble, even the platform before them looked nothing like something an ordinary battle could have caused.
The floor and the walls still standing around it had taken on the appearance of a stalactite cave. They had been corroded into layer upon layer, while their surfaces were covered in a greasy outer film.
In some slightly higher places, semigelatinous substances resembling saliva hung down. Murky drops slowly dripped onto the floor, kicking up white smoke and making a sizzling sound.
The paint stripped from the building had gathered in the pits and hollows on the ground, forming a multicolored patchwork.
Pile after pile of half-dissolved "black hair" had clumped together, giving off an especially pungent stench.
And then there was Jiongu Lu's corpse. It looked as if he had swum a hundred meters freestyle in a vat of concentrated acid. It was a truly miserable sight...
