With difficulty, he reached his left hand around to the Ninja Tool Pouch at his lower back on the right, took out a few black pills, and swallowed them. Then, relying on his Byakugan, Hyuga Taiyuan quickly tapped a few points on his right stump and chest.
Perhaps the pills he had just taken were working, or perhaps those few pressure-point taps had helped. Either way, some color finally returned to Hyuga Taiyuan's deathly pale face.
But Jun Tianlin wasn't Naruto from the original story. He wasn't kind enough to let an enemy stand right under his nose and recover from his injuries.
The several bloody battles he'd fought had already taught Jun Tianlin one thing: battle was no child's game!
The law of the jungle was on full display in a fight to the death. Strike while your opponent was down and finish him off—that was the surest way to win a battle. Showing mercy wasn't kindness in a fight; it was asking to die!
Watching Hyuga Taiyuan make small moves in the distance, Jun Tianlin's eyes turned cold. Without a word, he charged straight at him.
Hyuga Taiyuan had barely managed to recover a sliver of strength with the pills and pressure-point taps when he sensed a terrifying killing intent erupt behind him. His body trembled slightly, but a moment later, madness filled his pale, pupil-less eyes.
"Brat, you want to kill me? Then I'll kill you first!"
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
With a crazed roar, Hyuga Taiyuan swiftly raised his only remaining hand and slammed an air palm at Jun Tianlin.
A visible shock wave surged from Hyuga Taiyuan's left palm, carrying immense force as it rushed toward Jun Tianlin, who was charging straight at him.
"Pathetic trick."
Faced with the enormous shock wave, Jun Tianlin didn't so much as flinch. He simply brought both hands up in front of himself and kept charging toward Hyuga Taiyuan.
"Pop!"
With a sound like a balloon bursting, Jun Tianlin charged through the shock wave Hyuga Taiyuan had unleashed, meeting it head-on through sheer brute force.
Seeing Jun Tianlin take his attack so easily, Hyuga Taiyuan could only think that the world had gone mad. He couldn't stop himself from spitting another mouthful of blood!
My god!
Since when could some mere brat rely on his tough body to take a jonin's full-force attack head-on?
Since when had a jonin's full-strength attacks become so weak they couldn't even kill a little kid... Huh?
Had young people really become this ferocious now?
Though he was utterly shocked, Hyuga Taiyuan still had to keep fighting if he wanted to stay alive!
Once again, Hyuga Taiyuan raised his left hand. Chakra surged wildly through his body, all of it converging in his palm. Even his body was now enveloped in azure chakra.
It was clear that Hyuga Taiyuan was a badly wounded tiger, unwilling to accept his death and ready to make one last desperate struggle!
"Eight Trigrams—"
"Hmph. I'm not giving you the chance to attack me. Die!"
Seeing Hyuga Taiyuan prepare to make one final stand, Jun Tianlin's eyes flashed. Azure chakra suddenly appeared beneath his right foot, and he stomped down hard...
"Bang!"
A small explosion rang out as the chakra covering Jun Tianlin's right foot hit the ground. Using the enormous force of the blast, Jun Tianlin reached Hyuga Taiyuan in an instant.
"Squish!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Jun Tianlin ruthlessly thrust his right hand into Hyuga Taiyuan's left chest and crushed his heart, snuffing out the last spark of life.
Unwilling and full of hatred, Hyuga Taiyuan stared fixedly at Jun Tianlin's face. His eyes gradually dimmed, and his left hand fell limply from the air to his side. He breathed his last.
"From the moment this battle began, your arrogance and conceit sealed your fate. You were going to be the one to die. Sure, your carelessness made this fight a lot easier, but all it did was save me a little effort.
"So, you trash from the Hyuga Clan, rest easy. I'll gladly take those Byakugan off your hands!"
Looking at the dead Hyuga Taiyuan, Jun Tianlin pulled his right hand out of his chest and gazed eagerly at the pair of Byakugan.
The Byakugan! A part of the Otsutsuki Kaguya Bloodline! I'd finally obtained them!
