Xu Shi's Byakugan trembled with killing intent toward Rin as his palm struck toward Nadeshiko Saori, who was retreating with Rin!
--Formless Divine Void Palm!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Before his palm... a powerful blast of compressed air shot straight at Saori!
Saori's pupils constricted sharply. "Not good, that technique... is dangerous!"
Boom!
Amamiya Shinki raced over like the wind and stood before Nadeshiko Saori. The nine Sage Snakes circling her body surged forward, only to be scattered by the air cannon unleashed by the Divine Void Palm!
"Ugh...!" Shinki was struck by the aftermath and sent flying a great distance. She collapsed onto the snow, spitting out a mouthful of blood laced with Immortal Snake Venom!
Saori hurried to her side and asked worriedly, "Gluttonous Snake, are you okay?!"
Shinki climbed to her feet, wiping the blood from her lips. "I'm fine. It won't kill me!"
Saori said, "It seems... for the sake of the bigger picture, we should withdraw from this battlefield!"
Shinki said, "Fine. We've each done all we could and weakened the enemy. The rest is up to those three men!"
Thus, Saori, Shinki, and Rin made a strategic retreat, moving away from the battlefield.
--Purple Lightning: Thunder Tiger Annihilation!
"Awooo~~~!!"
The Fang-Biting Lightning Hound roared, twisting and winding under the pull of the lightning threads in Kakashi's palm as it lunged at Xu Shi's face!
"Get lost with this trash!!"
Smack!! Xu Shi's eyes had gone completely red. He scattered the Lightning Hound with his bare hands, then released a spatial vortex through his Byakugan in the direction the three women had fled, preparing to finish Rin once and for all!
Boom! Boom!
But at that moment... Tian Dou and Might Guy's fierce combined kick exploded into Xu Shi's abdomen!
Whoosh! The spatial vortex vanished.
"Uwaah!!!"
