The two energies collided in mid-air, and a deafening bang exploded, making the entire forest tremble.
The high temperature of the flames and thunder and lightning kept devouring the ice crystals, and the coldness of the ice crystals kept neutralizing the temperature of the thunder and fire, exploding a dazzling blue light in the air.
Kakuzu's face changed, and he quickly jumped away without a trace of hesitation.
"Boom--!!!"
A huge mushroom cloud rose from the center of the explosion, and fiery shock waves swept in all directions, flattening everything in its path.
Burnt soil, broken rocks, broken trees, everything was destroyed by the shock wave.
Kakuzu and Ning Xue were swept away by the shock wave and flew backwards.
Kakuzu quickly stretched out his arm during this process, wrapped around a raised rock behind, and quickly stabilized his body.
Ning Xue was already in the air. Affected by this impact, its body continued to roll until it reached a critical point before it was able to stabilize its body and fall to the ground.
In the process, Ning Xue abandoned Ice Blade in his hand, quickly Hand Seals his hands, and air flow emerged from his palms again.
At the moment when he was about to land, he quickly slapped the ground to offset the impact of his fall. Using this force, he flipped back while his hair gradually grew longer and plowed two ravines on the ground before he stopped steadily.
At this moment he entered Second Release State.
His white hair hangs down to his waist, his skin color is as gray as ink, and white vertical lines spread from the corners of his eyes to his neck. In those pure white eyes, the whites have been swallowed up by pitch black.
Ning Xue under Second Release State exudes an ancient and evil aura, completely different from the previous one.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Kakuzu who was also keeping his figure steady in the distance.
In Byakugan, the flow of Chakra in Kakuzu is clearly visible.
The four hearts are still intact, but the blow just now consumed a lot of energy.
Ning Xue quickly reviewed the previous confrontation in his mind.
Kakuzu's overall strength is lower than Orochimaru, but its fighting style is completely different.
Orochimaru's abilities are too weird and he is good at sneak attacks.
Kakuzu is a typical turret-type ninja with a wide attack range, great power, and high energy density. One combined attack is enough to destroy a forest.
But the opponent has lost the earth attribute heart and should not be able to use the method of hardening the body again.
"You can't compete with him remotely."
Ning Xue made a judgment.
Kakuzu's ninjutsu covers too wide a range and will only be consumed by the bombardment.
The only chance is to close the distance and use the melee advantages of Taijutsu and Ice Release to break his hearts one by one.
He exerted force with his feet, and his figure was like a ghost, killing Kakuzu.
Kakuzu saw this and immediately commanded the wind attribute puppet to step forward to intercept.
The puppet opened its mouth, and another wind ball quickly condensed, but this time, Ning Xue did not give it a chance to launch.
He Hand Seals with both hands while sprinting.
"Water Release, Water Syrup Capture."
A large amount of viscous liquid spurted out from his mouth, accurately covering the ground at the feet of the wind attribute puppet.
The puppet's feet were instantly stuck to the mucus, and the body staggered. The wind mass gathering in its mouth lost its aim, shot crookedly into the sky, and exploded at high altitude.
Kakuzu frowned, and just as he was about to mobilize the fire attribute puppets for support, Ning Xue had already arrived in front of him.
Ice Blade condensed in the palm of his hand, and with a biting cold light, he took it directly from the fire attribute mask on Kakuzu's left shoulder.
The moment Kakuzu glanced out of the corner of his eye, the tentacles on his shoulders quickly emerged, blocking Ice Blade in Ning Xue's hand.
"It's useless."
Kakuzu said hoarsely, and the five fingers of his right hand were like claws, with black tentacles grabbing at Ning Xue's throat.
Ning Xue avoided it sideways, and Ice Blade slid down, cutting towards Kakuzu's waist and abdomen.
Kakuzu's combat experience is vividly displayed at this moment.
His waist and abdomen suddenly retracted, barely avoiding the blade, and at the same time, his right leg swept across and kicked Ning Xue's knee.
Ning Xue jumped up, flipped in the air, stepped on the leg kicked by Kakuzu, and used the force to jump up again, soaring to the top of Kakuzu's head.
His hands Hand Seals, the palms of his hands were filled with cold air.
"Ice Release, Ice Prison."
Countless ice crystals spurted out from the palm of his hand and quickly condensed into a huge ice shield in the air, hooding Kakuzu.
Kakuzu's pupils shrank.
Without hesitation, he ordered the fire attribute puppet to spit out flames, and the blazing pillars of fire rose into the sky, shattering the ice cover in mid-air.
Broken ice crystals scattered in all directions, like a hailstorm.
But what Ning Xue wants is this moment.
The moment the ice crystal shattered, he flashed, cutting through the blind spot of Kakuzu's field of vision, and Ice Blade stabbed straight at the thunder attribute mask behind Kakuzu.
Kakuzu had no time to look back, but the black tentacles behind him reacted faster than him.
Several tentacles suddenly stretched out from the sutures on the back and wrapped around Ning Xue's wrist. Ice Blade stopped just one palm away from the mask.
"Got you."
Kakuzu's voice was filled with a hint of pride. He turned around, his fist wrapped in tentacles carrying strong wind, and blasted towards Ning Xue's chest.
Ning Xue didn't struggle because he had already seen the heart.
I saw cold air surging in the palm of his left hand, and a smaller Ice Blade condensed on the fingertips.
He did not block Kakuzu's fist, but instead stabbed Kakuzu's right shoulder with his left hand.
There, the thunder attribute mask was opening its mouth, and lightning was surging deep in its throat.
"Pfft."
Ice Blade penetrated the gap between the mask and the tentacles, and the coldness seeped in instantly.
The thunder attribute mask made a low buzz, and the thunder light flashed violently for a few times, and then dimmed. The heart was frozen.
Kakuzu's fist hit Ning Xue's chest.
"Bang!"
Ning Xue flew backwards and rolled twice on the ground. In the process, he quickly condensed a Ice Blade and stuck it on the ground, standing up and stabilizing himself.
At this moment, he was holding the knife on the ground with one hand, raised his head, and the corners of his mouth under the mask were slightly raised.
A heart is gone.
Kakuzu looked down at the crack on his right shoulder that was pierced by Ice Blade. The black sutures were working hard to repair it, but the heart was completely necrotic.
His face darkened.
"You kid... you're looking for death."
(It's the college entrance examination in these two days. I wish all students can get into the ideal university.)
