Wood Release Shows Its Might

"Impossible!!"

The king was filled with horror.

"Having been frozen ten feet beneath my ice, there's absolutely no chance of them surviving."

Xue Ji also noticed this scene, and her eyes, which had been filled with despair, suddenly shone with hope again.

"Could it be that... the two of them aren't dead?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the cracks in the ice layer on the ground opened up and spread again.

Sudden!

With a loud bang!

The ice shattered, and two enormous arms burst forth.

The arms were made of wood, and each hand was as big as a door. That wooden hand, clenched into a fist, pierced through a ten-zhang-thick layer of ice and burst out of the ground.

"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"

Both the king and Xue Ji were stunned by the two enormous wooden hands.

It is Long Ye's "Hotei Technique".

In a life-or-death situation, he couldn't care less about revealing the secret of Wood Release at the critical moment, and used it immediately when the two of them were trapped under the snow.

Two wooden hands enveloped the two people, allowing them to survive unharmed in the ensuing "ice seal."

The wooden hand emerged from the ice, opened in mid-air, and two people appeared within it.

"Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!"

Long Ye, Oboro shouted.

Mei Terumi understood immediately, swiftly changing her hand seals to unleash the "Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

In a water-filled, icy environment, the Water Dragon Bullet Art is almost as powerful as when used in the ocean; the water dragon that is created is several times the size of the normal Water Dragon Bullet Art.

At the same time, Long Ye released a column of electricity as thick as a bucket, which merged into the Water Dragon Bullet Art the instant the water dragon was formed.

Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Ninjutsu completed.

This combination Ninjutsu was used by the two of them to defeat the Star Shadow of the Hoshigakure.

The water dragon, imbued with an extremely strong electric current, crashed head-on into the king.

"You two are indeed very lucky to be alive!"

The king clasped his hands together, and the ice behind him shattered. A white whale, formed from ice and with a single horn, leaped out and collided head-on with the oncoming water dragon.

The size of the One-Horned White Whale appears to be even larger than that of the water dragon. The size of the creature manifested through Ninjutsu largely determines the level of its power.

If relying solely on Mei Terumi's Water Dragon Bullet Art, there would be absolutely no chance of victory. However, the Water Dragon Bullet is imbued with a high-intensity electric current that carries Long Ye's full power.

Boom!!

The water dragon smashed the beluga whale.

Ice blocks the size of bowls, mixed with torrential rain, poured down from all sides.

The water dragon and the beluga whale collapsed simultaneously.

However, the electric current contained within the water dragon still had some reserve power.

The Land of Snow King, who knew nothing about this combination of Ninjutsu, instantly found himself in the same predicament as "Star Shadow" before.

The burst of high-intensity current, like a giant lightning field, swept over him.

If he had all his ninja tools, this violent lightning field might not have been able to harm him at all, but at this moment, his ninja tools were already shattered and completely defenseless.

He felt as if his entire body was being cut by countless blades, and he was covered in blood.

"Brute!"

The king, exposed, descended into madness.

The two men's move was extremely insidious; Water Release as cover while launching a surprise attack with Lightning Release. He didn't see through it in time and ended up seriously injured.

"I'm going to grind you all into mincemeat!!"

Despite his severe injuries, he Hand Seals, took a deep breath, and forcefully exhaled.

As soon as a spiraling stream of air appeared, it caused the temperature of the world to drop sharply, as if this stream of air had absorbed all the temperature in the world.

The spiraling chill condensed into a giant Ice Ball.

The Ice Ball puck was so large, as tall as a ten-story building, that it occupied nearly two-thirds of the mountaintop, and it rolled towards the two of them.

Just like the "Avalanche" technique he used before, Isshiki Ice Release Ninjutsu has such a wide coverage area that it is still impossible to dodge.

The two people in the Long Ye could no longer see anything else; all they could see was a towering wall, seemingly endless, crashing down upon them like a tidal wave.

Mei Terumi's face turned pale.

A powerhouse at the Super-Kage Level is indeed beyond the reach of someone like her, Kage Level powerhouse.

She was about to unleash Boil Release in a final act of defiance when she heard Long Ye's voice in her ear:

"Wood Release: Hotei Technique!!"

He knelt on one knee, Hand Seals with his hands, and pressed them to the ground.

Boom boom boom...

Eight consecutive sounds of ice breaking.

Eight enormous wooden arms, clenched into fists, pounded forward wildly.

Like six crazy bulldozers, they smashed the giant Ice Ball that was rolling towards them, shattering it piece by piece.

Mei Terumi nearby, was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, her mind blank as she stared at the scene.

"This is... Wood Release..."

Wood Release is known as the most powerful Kekkei Genkai in the world. He had only heard of it before, but he never imagined that he would see it in the person next to him.

His thoughts instantly returned to that night, to the words that Long Ye had said to her, "If I don't die, I might become the strongest man in the Shinobi World."

At the time, she thought it was because this person was very confident, but after seeing the legendary Wood Release being used by him, she truly understood the source of his confidence.

Eight giant fists attacked relentlessly, because the Ice Ball was simply too large, like a ten-story building, and it was impossible to break through it with sheer force in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing the Ice Ball he had created rolling and crushing everything in its path, the king smiled cruelly.

At this moment, his body was cut by an electric current faster than a blade, leaving it covered in blood. The numbing effect of the current gave him the illusion of being paralyzed on one side.

"Die, all of you! When you promised this girl you'd come for revenge, your fate was already sealed, hahahaha..."

He burst into wild laughter.

The series of severe blows drove him to a state of mental instability.

His laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

He heard a series of frantic explosions, but due to the size of the Ice Ball puck, he couldn't see what was happening on the other side.

"Impossible! My move is enough to destroy a country; they could never possibly have Ninjutsu that can counter it!"

As soon as the king finished speaking, seemingly in response to him, with a final, frantic blast, the Ice Ball puck was actually pierced through.

Eight giant hands came through.

The king was terrified and was about to retaliate, but it was too late.

One of the fists, like a Meteorite, struck his body heavily, knocking him directly into the ground.

It wasn't just one fist that came, but eight; eight hands struck back and forth, as swift as raindrops.

Each punch created a ten-meter-wide dent in the ground. The king was completely powerless to fight back. Without the protection of his ninja tools, if this continued, he would surely be mashed into a pulp.
