Fellow Daoist Raikage, please stay!
Shazo recalled the description of the [Arrow Breaking Stance] sword technique from the Dugu Nine Swords: "No matter how many arrows or crossbow bolts the enemy shoots at you, or how many people fire various kinds of hidden weapons at the same time, you only need to use this move to knock down hundreds of hidden weapons at the same time."
Is this even possible for a human to do?
Even Uchiha Itachi, who had the fastest hand speed in the Ninja World, could only Hand Seals per second.
How could Linghu Chong, who had lost his internal energy, be faster than Uchiha Itachi?
Linghu Chong relied on the core technique of the Dugu General Principles: Great Dan Embrace.
After a brief preparation, both Shazo and the Fourth Raikage were ready to fight with all their might. They looked at each other at the same time, then suddenly pushed off the ground and charged forward, launching their strongest attacks.
The Fourth Raikage transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, while Shazo, being even faster, completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Only after a fierce collision erupted did Shazo reappear, engaging in a fierce clash with the Fourth Raikage.
Their collision was like Mars; the shockwaves tore the ground open with radial cracks.
Neither of them was willing to back down even an inch.
The Fourth Raikage was surrounded by arcs of electricity, looking as majestic as the Divine Descent. However, each of his punches was thrown out slowly, as if in slow motion, yet it gave people a feeling of unstoppable force.
The Raikage's slow speed is a visual illusion.
Similar to the illusion of a high-speed propeller coming to a standstill, the Raikage's punch was so fast that the surrounding electric arcs created a visual afterimage.
Shazo released his Human Body Great Elixir, unleashing the power compressed to its limit, causing his arms to swing at an even faster speed, to the point that his arms were completely invisible.
He threw countless punches every second, all of them slamming into Raikage's slowly swinging fist, producing sharp, explosive sounds.
With each sonic boom, the Fourth Raikage's arm dimmed slightly, a sign that his punch had been deflected by Shazo.
When the burst of energy is exhausted, Shazo will once again Elixir Embrace inner energy, compressing his power in an instant before unleashing it again.
Although this hasty Elixir Embrace of the core cannot achieve the explosive power of full compression, the Fourth Raikage's speed and strength are also not as strong as his first charged burst.
The two players' outbursts essentially maintained a close contest.
The Raikage's advantage lies in his greater strength and powerful physical defense; he chooses to attack without defending, focusing all his energy on offense.
Shazo's advantage is his speed; after repelling the Raikage's punch, he can still seize the opportunity to strike the Raikage's body.
He hadn't expected the Lightning Release Armor to be so hard; hitting it felt like smashing a whole steel ingot.
Whether or not the Fourth Raikage was injured is unknown, but Shazo's hand was throbbing with pain from the impact.
Moreover, he hadn't expected that the Lightning Release Armor would have the ability to reflect Lightning Release damage.
The instant the attack landed, the intense Lightning Release not only caused Shazo's arm to feel numb and sore, but also left him momentarily paralyzed.
The Fourth Raikage laughed heartily, "Fool! After I was defeated by the Fourth Hokage, why wouldn't I consider how to fight Ninja faster than me?"
"I certainly can't outrun the Fourth Hokage, but I can slow him down, or even make him unable to move!"
"Unfortunately, by the time I finished improving the Lightning Release Armor, he had died in the battle against the Nine-Tails, and there was no one else who could make me use the new Lightning Release Armor."
"Kid, since you're so fast, then let your Fourth Hokage experience the power of my Lightning Release Armor!"
He laughed wildly and threw his heaviest punch, aiming it hard at Shazo, whose movements were slowed by paralysis.
Shazo realized he had no time to dodge, and could only raise his left hand, bending his elbow into a tripod shape, to block Raikage's heavy punch.
With a dull thud, a tremendous force, accompanied by the tingling and burning sensation of Lightning Release, surged into his body from his left shoulder.
But before this force could tear through the body, it was automatically countered by the Chakra within Shazo's body and was instantly dissipated by most of it.
Apart from a few charred marks from Thunder Bite on his upper arm, he was completely unharmed.
Shazo was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand when his Chakra had acquired the ability to automatically counterattack. Even Shazo from other worlds had never cultivated a technique similar to the [Nine Yang Divine Skill]!
Upon closer inspection, Shazo realized that the one who had launched the counterattack was Kekkei Genkai, and he couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed.
[How stupid of me, how could I forget about that?]
Ordinary Kekkei Genkai don't have the ability to automatically counterattack, but Shazo's Kekkei Genkai is different because he possesses a full 9...
Kekkei Genkai.
Since fusing with the 7th Kekkei Genkai, he has encountered severe interference from other Kekkei Genkai.
This interference reached its peak when Shazo fused with the 10th Kekkei Genkai, Flame Style, causing him to be unable to complete the fusion for a full year.
After waking up from the dream, Xia Zuo referenced the Cultivation Knowledge of the Demon Xiazhuo and used the Elixir Embrace Method of the Dugu Nine Swords, which Smiling, Proud Wanderer Shazo. Shazo then bound each of the nine Kekkei Genkai to the corresponding five internal organs.
Each internal organ is based on the Yin Release and Yang Release balancing method, balancing the two Kekkei Genkai, and then the five organs unite to form a False Core.
This False Core, clearly missing a link, has an unprecedented attraction to Flame Style, and can greatly counteract the interference Kekkei Genkai.
Shazo's fusion of the Flame Style Kekkei Genkai has finally made progress, but it's still just a little bit short.
To some extent, he has completed the fusion of Flame Style, but the moment the fusion is successful, it will be destroyed by the repulsive force of the False Core of the Kekkei Genkai.
The greater the help the False Core provides during the fusion process, the greater the repulsive force will be at the moment of successful fusion.
The only way is to integrate the Flame Style into the heart within a dozen seconds of successful fusion, while simultaneously embedding the False Core of the Kekkei Genkai.
However, with Shazo's own strength, it was already difficult to fuse and succeed under the strong interference, and he simply did not have the spare strength to integrate the Flame Style into his heart in a short period of time.
He needs external help, and he needs external pressure that can put immense pressure on him.
However, as everyone knows, Ninja are characterized by high attack and low defense. There are very few Ninja in the entire Ninja World who research powerful attacks. After all, an attack power of 10 is enough to kill an enemy, so who would bother to strive for an attack power of 1000?
In Konoha, only Might Guy's attack, opening the Eight Gates Formation down to the sixth gate, could satisfy Shazo's needs.
However, Shazo and Might Guy's relationship was just so-so. He didn't want to risk his life for him, nor did he want to tell him his secrets, so he never mentioned helping him.
The Fourth Raikage's attack was powerful enough to force the Flame Style Release technique into the Kekkei Genkai False Core.
The residual shockwaves after shaking the False Core were just enough to avoid harming Shazo's body.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be perfect.
Shazo's gaze towards the Fourth Raikage changed. This was no enemy; he was clearly a fellow cultivator who had helped him succeed!
At this moment, Shazo also noticed the confusion and bewilderment in the Fourth Raikage's eyes.
Fellow Daoist Raikage, please wait!
Watch my performance!
