Unavoidable Attack? Laozi Has One Too!
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Numerous arrows pierced through Xi Yan's body, leaving several potentially fatal wounds!
But the next moment, Xi Yan's body began to twist and then disappeared from the spot.
When it reappears, all the wounds on its body have disappeared!!
Looking at Xi Yan, whose body had returned to normal, Gunko frowned and said, "Is it like this again...?"
It seems that to capture or kill this man alive, we must first exhaust his stamina; otherwise, we can forget about taking him down!
Thinking of this, Gunko raised the arrow again, intending to turn Xi Yan into a hedgehog once more.
However, Xi Yan did not give her that chance.
Just before she launched her attack, Xi Yan slammed his hands on the ground and activated Ninjutsu.
"Earth Release: Earth Split Technique!"
"Boom!!"
The earth began to shake, and then a huge crack appeared in the ground beneath Gunko's feet, looking like an enormous mouth!
Upon seeing this, Gunko's pupils immediately contracted.
"Earth Release Technique...?"
Upon realizing that his body was beginning to fall, Gunko summoned the arrow back and used it to protect himself.
The next moment...
"Whoosh~"
"Click!"
The falling Gunko was trapped underneath!
"Call..."
After finishing this task, Xi Yan exhaled a breath of stale air, then turned to the Nightmare Creatures crawling out of the pit and said, "Now it's your turn!"
As if noticing Xi Yan's gaze, these enormous Nightmare Creatures immediately roared.
"Roar!!"
Then, these behemoths charged towards them, intending to use sheer numbers to wipe out Xi Yan.
Seeing this, Xi Yan sneered and then rushed forward without hesitation.
As he approached, Xi Yan leaped up, simultaneously wrapping his legs in Armament Haki.
Then, they launched an attack without hesitation.
"Painful Sky Leg!" Xi Yan shouted.
"Bump!!"
With its Haki long legs wrapped around its body, it slammed down on a dinosaur Nightmare Creatures, shattering its skull!
"Click!"
The dinosaur Nightmare Creatures, its skull shattered, let out a scream before its Byakugan rolled back and it crashed to the ground.
"Boom!!"
Its heavy body smashed a large crater into the ground!
Ignoring the defeated dinosaur Nightmare Creatures, Xi Yan turned and jumped in front of another giant dragon Nightmare Creatures, raising his hand to deliver a punch!
"Armed Monster Strength Fist!"
"Bump!"
The dragon, struck by the blow, let out a miserable cry and flew backward, smashing a strange behemoth to the ground!
After glancing at the two giant beasts he had killed, Xi Yan turned his attention to the other Nightmare Creatures.
"Roar!!"
The black giant roared and raised his Giant Sword to strike down.
"Well done!" Xi Yan shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale golden Susanoo appeared on Xi Yan's body, and then fiercely thrust a spear towards the opponent's head!
"Puff!"
With a single blow, his skull was pierced through!
Glancing at the Giant Sword slashing at Susanoo, Xi Yan sneered, "Too weak."
Even with the power of the Giant Clan, he couldn't break his own Susanoo!
Just then, an octopus monster attacked Xi Yan from below!
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Numerous octopus -Xi Yan like tentacles slammed into Xi Yan from the Susanoo intent on killing him.
Without hesitation, Xi Yan immediately released Susanoo.
Then, stepping on the opponent's octopus-like arms, he charged towards them.
The next moment...
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Puff!!"
The Water Severing Wave released at face-to-face easily pierced through the octopus monster's head, then severed its entire head!
The headless octopus went limp and then crashed heavily to the ground!
"Boom!!"
"Whoosh~"
"Click~"
Xi Yan, who landed steadily on the ground, sneered and said, "Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve."
Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, the Nightmare Creatures fell silent for a moment, then roared in unison.
"Roar!!"
Seeing this, Xi Yan sneered, "A fight isn't about who shouts the loudest, you bastards!"
Just then, a tremor came from the ground behind them, as if some ferocious beast was trying to break free of the earth's restraints.
"Um?"
Noticing the commotion, Xi Yan turned around and said, "Could it be that guy is still alive?"
It seems killing this guy won't be an easy task.
Thinking of this, Xi Yan frowned.
The next moment...
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
Numerous arrowheads erupted from the ground, shattering the earth!
Then, a woman emerged from the shattered ground, stepping on arrows, and looked coldly at Xi Yan, saying, "Blood-Eyed Ninja, you deserve to die!!"
If she hadn't used the power of the Arrow Fruit to create a small space before entering the underground, getting out wouldn't have been an easy task!
So... this guy deserves to die!
"I didn't expect you to still be alive," Xi Yan said.
"A mere Earth Release Technique is no match for me)!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gunko activated the power of his Devil Fruit.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Numerous arrows appeared around Gunko, then began to entangle, eventually transforming into two enormous fists!
After doing this, an arrow appeared beneath Gunko's feet, lifting her up, and then she charged towards Xi Yan without hesitation!
As they drew near, Gunko shouted, "Prepare to die, Blood-Eyed Ninja!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gunko launched his attack.
"Violent Arrow Fist!"
"Um?"
As the attack drew ever closer, Xi Yan suddenly had a strange feeling, as if... as if he couldn't dodge it!
'What's going on? Why am I having this feeling?' Xi Yan wondered to himself.
Could it be that the opponent's attack also came with some kind of special ability?
To test his theory, Xi Yan chose to retreat to the side instead of taking the opponent's attack head-on.
The next moment...
"Bump!!"
The fist made of bandages and arrows seemed to have been unlocked, instantly changing its trajectory and slamming into Xi Yan's crossed arms in a very strange way.
"Whoosh~"
"Boom!!"
Struck by this attack, Xi Yan flew out like a cannonball, finally coming to a stop after crashing through several buildings in the distance.
"What... what happened?!"
The crowd fighting below stared in shock at the breached building.
How could several buildings have been suddenly breached?
"It looks like something just flew by," a man said.
"Something flew over?" someone nearby asked. "What was it?"
"I don't know, it was too fast."
If it weren't for his past experience as a sniper, he probably wouldn't have even been seen!
Just then, a figure appeared on the street.
"What just happened?" Xi Yan, scratching his head, stared at Gunko Zi flying towards them from afar and asked, "Why did that fist suddenly change direction?"
And it's twisted to that extent... This is definitely not normal!
Glancing at the still-twisting arrow, Xi Yan muttered, "Could it be that guy's Devil Fruit ability has locked onto me?"
Recalling what had happened before, Xi Yan felt that this possibility was not low.
'If that's the case... then this Devil Fruit's power is a bit overpowered.'
Changing the direction of enemy attacks, automatically locking onto enemies, granting flight ability, and even providing protection... what a monstrous Devil Fruit power!
"That's true. If they weren't powerful enough, these self-proclaimed gods wouldn't have eaten us," Xi Yan said.
It seems this ability is one of the Devil Fruit treasured by the Celestial Dragons.
Just then, several slaves cautiously approached Xi Yan and said, "You..."
Without giving them a chance to continue, Xi Yan decisively interrupted, "Don't come near me, get out of here right now!"
He could guarantee he wouldn't be killed, but these guys couldn't!
Slaves:???
The slaves stared at Xi Yan with puzzled expressions, wondering why he had suddenly become so serious.
They just wanted to say a few words; they didn't mean to drag the other person down.
"We'll just say a few words and then leave," one of the men said.
Before he could even utter his words, Xi Yan said, "Too late..."
Is it too late?
What's so late?
However, he soon found out what the other person was talking about.
Suddenly, the flying Gunko accelerated, summoning a large number of arrows around its body!
Upon seeing this, the slaves immediately understood what their benefactor meant.
"Falling Arrow Rain!" Gunko shouted.
The next moment, a large number of arrows flew from a distance, bombarding the area like rain.
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
The attacks were merciless, decimating everything on the ground and killing countless slaves and guards in the blink of an eye!
Those who spoke last survived because Xi Yan activated Susanoo.
"This... this monster!!"
Seeing the scene of corpses strewn across the field, the slaves were so frightened that their legs went weak.
They never imagined this woman would be so insane, even killing her own people!
"Um?"
Gunko glanced at the group of people being protected by Xi Yan, paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Protecting slaves?"
"What a pointless move."
Even if these slaves manage to escape from Mary Geoise, it won't change the fact that they'll be killed, so... what's the point of saving them?
Unfortunately, Xi Yan ignored her and instead turned to talk to the slaves.
"Get out of here right now, don't waste any more time," Xi Yan said. "Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."
"Thank you so much, we..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"
"Yes!"
The slave who was yelled at did not utter a word of complaint, but instead turned and fled into the distance.
This time, Gunko didn't launch another attack; after all... a few slaves weren't worth her taking the initiative to attack.
After watching the other person leave, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Gunko and said, "You high and mighty people probably don't know the value of life."
Gunko just chuckled and didn't answer the question.
The preciousness of life?
In the eyes of these Celestial Dragons, the lives of other lower-class people are not even worth mentioning!
So... what difference would it make even if we killed him?
Perhaps wanting to test it on Xi Yan, Gunko proactively raised his hand and aimed at the slave in the distance, then fired a fatal arrow!
"Whoosh~"
"Clang!"
"Boom!!"
"Um?"
Looking at the arrowhead that had been knocked away by Xi Yan's pale golden spear, Gunko tilted his head and said, "I still can't understand your thinking."
"Do I need your understanding?" Xi Yan shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yan raised the Kido Time Piercing Spear in his hand and then threw it at Gunko!
"Whoosh~"
The Kido Time Piercing Spear, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, hurtled straight for Gunko's head.
"It's useless!"
Gunko, who had activated her Devil Fruit ability, said calmly, "This kind of attack is meaningless to me."
As she spoke, she moved the arrow in front of her and used the power of the Devil Fruit to redirect Xi Yan's attack in another direction.
Then Gunko continued, "Even if you try a lot more..."
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed an enormous, pale gold longbow appear in Xi Yan's hand.
Gunko:???
What is this?
Energy weapons?
'Could it be that the opponent's energy can be freely shaped?' Gunko wondered to himself.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why there would be two weapon forms.
"Try this move!" Xi Yan shouted, "Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu Arrow!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale golden Long Arrow flew out from the Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu, heading straight for Gunko in mid-air!
"Whoosh~"
"I've already said, this kind of attack is ineffective against me," Gunko said calmly.
As he spoke, Gunko brought the arrow to his front again, intending to deflect the attack in the same way.
"Buzz~"
A strange force acted on the pale gold Long Arrow, easily diverting it to the other side, where it finally pierced the Long Arrow of a giant dragon flying in from behind.
"Puff!"
Dragon:???
Looking at the pale golden Long Arrow embedded in its body, a question mark appeared above the dragon's head: Where did this arrow come from?
Gunko glanced at the struck dragon and thought, 'Why does this attack seem so weak?'
That dragon didn't look like...
Before she could finish her thought, she realized that Xi Yan had launched another attack.
Without time to think, Gunko immediately activated his energy to protect himself, intending to redirect the opponent's attack.
But this time the situation was different from before, because... this time two arrows flew up in quick succession!
Gunko, having just moved an arrow, had no time to think and immediately raised his right arm, intending to use it to block Xi Yan's attack.
The next moment...
"Puff!"
The pale golden Long Arrow pierced through Gunko's right arm with ease!
"Um?"
Looking at his undamaged right arm, Gunko frowned and asked, "What kind of ability is this?"
Not only did I feel no pain, but I also couldn't detect the arrow's presence...
What exactly happened?
He instinctively reached out to pull the arrow out, but he couldn't do it at all!
This discovery completely stunned Gunko.
"What's going on? Why can't I touch this arrow?" Gunko asked in shock.
Unconvinced, she tried to touch it again, but still couldn't reach the arrow.
After thinking for a moment, Gunko wrapped his Haki around his hand and touched it again.
But the result was still the same...
After a moment of silence, Gunko looked down at Xi Yan and said, "What exactly did you do?!"
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough~" Xi Yan grinned.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu in his hand and drew the string towards Gunko.
Then, at an extremely fast speed, two more pale golden Long Arrow were fired!
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Watching the Long Arrow ever closer, Gunko thought to himself, 'I don't know what this is, but it's best to avoid getting hit.'
Thinking of this, Gunko stepped on the arrow without hesitation and flew up, rushing into the distance.
To her astonishment, the two arrows seemed to have eyes, turning and chasing after her as well!
Gunko:???
Wait, why is this guy's attack also homing?
"Celestial Dragons..." Xi Yan, wielding the Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu, sneered, "You're not the only one with tracking attacks!!"
As long as you still have arrows from the Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu in your body, don't even think about dodging the follow-up attacks!
While thinking, Xi Yan drew back the bowstring and shot two arrows without even looking!
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
At that moment, the two arrows seemed to come to life, flying several meters away before automatically changing direction and turning to chase after Gunko in the distance!
Gunko:!!!
Wait, is it even possible to play like this?!
