A and Killer B shot toward Xuandou like two bolts of lightning, attacking him from either side.
Golden Lightning Release chakra intertwined with the dark red Tailed Beast Cloak, their speed tearing through the air with a shrill whistle.
The ground cracked beneath their feet, rubble flying as they left two deep furrows behind them.
With Xuandou now within reach, a trace of doubt flashed through A's mind.
He isn't dodging?
Not moving aside?
Not forming hand seals?
Has he failed to react, or is he being overconfident?
But he had no time to dwell on it.
Xuandou was right before him, less than ten meters away.
At his speed, crossing such a short distance would not even take an instant.
He had absolute confidence in his Double Lariat.
It was a combined finishing move that he and B had honed countless times, one that had defeated countless powerful enemies.
Even Jiraiya of the legendary Sannin had fallen to this move.
If Xuandou took this hit without any defenses, he had absolutely no chance of surviving!
Yet the instant they closed in, A saw the corners of Xuandou's mouth lift slightly.
Xuandou raised both hands, aiming his palms at them.
"Shinra Tensei!"
An invisible, irresistible repulsive force erupted from Xuandou's palms!
A and Killer B felt as though their speeding bodies had struck an invisible wall of air.
Indestructible and impassable!
Then, with nowhere to go, that tremendous force rebounded, pressing down on them like two mountains at once.
Bang!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, A and Killer B flew backward even faster than they had charged in!
They smashed through trees and plowed two deep furrows into the ground.
A trickle of blood escaped the Raikage's mouth, and Killer B's Tailed Beast Cloak was shaken apart.
