I, Yun Xi, Am Immune to Physical Techniques

"Master?"

Facing Hyuga Hiashi's inquiry, Yun Xi merely smiled, showing no intention of answering. Instead, after adjusting his position, Yun Xi said, "I never expected the Hyuga Clan, the second most prominent family in Konoha, to take the initiative to attack a commoner like me. In that case, our previous deal and cooperation are canceled!"

As he finished speaking, a flash of cold-blooded killing intent crossed Yun Xi's eyes.

"The words 'deal' and 'alliance' can only be used between those of equal status."

Hearing that Yun Xi intended to cancel the deal, Hyuga Hiashi merely sneered, secretly gathering the power within his body. The moment he launched his next attack, he spoke again!

"You want to cooperate and form an alliance with me?"

"You are not worthy!"

As those three words reached Yun Xi's ears, Hyuga Hiashi, who had been standing not far away, vanished in an instant!

He's faster than before...

At this moment, Yun Xi realized that the speed of this attack far exceeded Hyuga Hiashi's previous ones; he couldn't even catch a glimpse of his figure.

A fist wind, carrying an eerie, piercing force within its gentle exterior, had already appeared before him.

"Is this the strength of an elite Jonin? It seems I have to fight back!"

Yun Xi had originally estimated that without activating the Flame-Flame Fruit or the Sharingan, he would at least be equivalent to an average Chunin, capable of holding his own against some Jonin.

But after clashing with Hyuga Hiashi...

Yun Xi realized he had overestimated himself.

If he didn't activate the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, he would likely be nothing more than a punching bag before Hyuga Hiashi.

"Eight Trigrams Palm: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

Suddenly, just as Yun Xi narrowly dodged Hyuga Hiashi's attack, a powerful gust of palm wind emerged once more.

The target of the strike was Yun Xi, who was still in mid-air!

"Damn it..."

Feeling a surge of intense danger, Yun Xi's expression turned grave in an instant. Without hesitation, he no longer intended to hide his strength.

"Elementalization!"

As Yun Xi spoke, a scorching aura instantly manifested on the surface of his body, and then Hyuga Hiashi's Vacuum Palm struck him...

However...

What Hyuga Hiashi did not expect was...

Yun Xi, who had been hit by the Vacuum Palm, remained completely unharmed.

"How is it possible for you to ignore my Vacuum Palm?!"

Hyuga Hiashi had been a ninja for over a decade, participating in numerous battles including the Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tails Incident, and the Cloud Ninja Village infiltration.

He was undoubtedly a seasoned veteran.

Yet, a situation like this...

Was a first for Hyuga Hiashi.

In principle.

The Vacuum Palm was a technique that struck the target with a chakra shockwave emitted from the palm, causing damage.

Although it was essentially a taijutsu, it functioned more like a long-range attack.

Its speed was so great that even some clansmen with the Byakugan activated could not dodge it...

Yet, Yun Xi bore no marks at all.

"A very impressive attack method."

Compared to the shocked Hyuga Hiashi, Yun Xi stood opposite him, calmly praising the Vacuum Palm before slowly adding, "But it's a pity."

"I am immune to your attacks..."

Yun Xi was not foolish; he had no intention of revealing the secret of his immunity to taijutsu, choosing instead to use the word "attack."

"A Kekkei Genkai?"

Looking at the red mist radiating a scorching heat from Yun Xi's body, Hyuga Hiashi was no fool; he naturally deduced that this was likely one of Yun Xi's abilities.

Realizing that Yun Xi had revealed his trump card, Hyuga Hiashi immediately activated his Byakugan.

As thick, bulging veins appeared at his temples, an aura of total control erupted from his body.

From this moment on, the entire 360-degree radius around him was within Hyuga Hiashi's grasp!

However, Hyuga Hiashi was also somewhat bewildered at this moment.

According to the standard combat procedure of the Hyuga Clan.

Facing an enemy meant activating the Byakugan, locating the enemy's chakra meridian system, and finally using their ancestral Gentle Fist to prevent the opponent from launching attacks.

Although Hyuga Hiashi would adjust his methods depending on the enemy.

The general flow and momentum remained unchanged...

However...

Facing Yun Xi, who had activated the Flame-Flame Fruit, Hyuga Hiashi now felt a sense of helplessness, as if he had no way to strike.

Although Yun Xi's body still possessed chakra and meridians...

Everything was shrouded in a mysterious aura, leaving Hyuga Hiashi completely unable to discern Yun Xi's meridian pathways.

It was exactly the same as before...

"Kid, your Kekkei Genkai is indeed exceptional."

After staring for a long time without making a move, Hyuga Hiashi finally spoke slowly, but only a few seconds later, he added, "But these are merely delaying your defeat; you will be defeated by me in the end!"

Although Hyuga Hiashi could not pinpoint the exact location of Yun Xi's meridians, he could still roughly guess the positions of the major ones based on his years of combat experience.

That would be enough!

"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palms!"

Having made his decision, Hyuga Hiashi used his immense speed to arrive directly in front of Yun Xi, clenching his hands into fists and launching a fierce assault.

Amidst such a storm of dense attacks, Hyuga Hiashi could already imagine Yun Xi's miserable state...

But...

An accident occurred once again...

The moment Hyuga Hiashi made contact with Yun Xi's body, the scorching aura drifting around Yun Xi instantly engulfed his fists.

Before he could even launch another attack, burn marks had already appeared on Hyuga Hiashi's skin...

And what was even more terrifying was...

Even though Hyuga Hiashi had successfully struck Yun Xi in a trade of blows...

It appeared that...

Yun Xi had not sustained any damage at all.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. The reason I can ignore your attacks is very simple: in this state, I am immune to all taijutsu..."

While Hyuga Hiashi wore an expression of shock, a strange smile appeared on Yun Xi's face.

In truth, the reason Yun Xi dared to face Hyuga Hiashi with such confidence...

Was primarily because of the taijutsu immunity that came with the Flame-Flame Fruit.

And since the main method of attack for this guy, Hyuga Hiashi, was taijutsu...

It could be said that although Yun Xi was inferior to him in overall strength, he could completely defeat him by relying on this trait!
