Boom!!
The Eighth Gate of Death opened, and a sea of blood churned. A savage torrent of chakra instantly stained the sky crimson. Before that immense chakra could even settle into shape, the surrounding space had already turned into something like paste!
Without a doubt, this was Death Gate chakra many times stronger than Night Guy's!
Gather!
The chakra took shape... becoming a blood-red beast. It was smaller than Night Guy's Scarlet Dragon, but its vermilion form was far more condensed!
Tiansha Dou's physique was extraordinarily powerful. He immediately adapted to the Death Gate's state, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned forward until his body formed a forty-five-degree angle with the ground. Ryushiki was so short that he could not hit him otherwise!
Boom!! While Ryushiki was still bewildered by this sudden turn of events, Tiansha Dou came charging savagely at him, launching a straight-line elbow strike!
-Calamity Hound!

Tiansha Dou's furious elbow strike exploded against Ryushiki's frail chest. Space was punched through, and the two instantly appeared more than three miles away, hurtling ever farther!
Of course... Ryushiki was being blasted backward!
"Waaah..." Blood poured from Ryushiki's mouth. Indescribable pain and confusion filled his face. "Tiansha Dou... why?"

Bang! Bang!
Sonic booms exploded beside their ears!
Ryushiki's head hung low. His tiny fists clenched, opened, then clenched again... As though driven by the instinct to survive, chakra gathered at the point of impact and erupted from his chakra points, resisting the inward pressure!
Suddenly... his backward-flying body came to a dead stop in midair!
Profound shock appeared on Tiansha Dou's
