Shallan's body emerged from the ground, staring into the depths of the dark forest with a solemn expression.
He didn't act rashly and went over to check.
Instead, he carefully restrained his breath and observed in the dark.
Years of combat experience told him that now was not the time to confirm the death of the opponent.
The blow just now was Shallan's special ability.
As well as a set of combos performed by mixing various abilities such as Sand Clone, Substitution, and Desert of Death.
It seems that Shallan and Xili are trying to hurt each other.
In fact, Shallan's body hid deep underground in advance, and only the clone remained on the ground to release the secret technique.
Insidious? Not strong or manly?
The battle is only life and death.
The winner lives, the loser dies!
Deep in the forest, mottled afterimages swayed with the shaking of the woods.
"Is this that guy's ability?"
Xi Li looked at his left arm in shock. A well-defined muscle was already there, leaving only a withered section like a dead branch.
arm??
If you can still call it an arm.
The muscles withered as if they had lost their moisture, and the decaying skin wrapped around the bones that were about to weather.
Mummy?
mummy?
I don't know why, but looking at his wilted left arm, these two words flashed through Xili's mind.
He tried squeezing his fingers, and then tried raising his arm.
"The fingers and arms can still move, and there is still feeling, but the strength cannot be exerted at all. The bones are very brittle and will break with a slight impact."
"Seventy percent of the human body is composed of water. Has the water been sucked out?"
"The Sand Hidden Village actually has such a weird ability?"
Xili placed his right hand on his left arm and gently brushed the dry skin, fearing that he would accidentally break his left arm.
It feels very bad, like touching old sofa leather.
"You can ignore the defense of heavy gold flames and the special blood inheritance limit."
"Is this the opponent's trump card?"
"There's something!"
Taking an inhaling breath, Xili's eyes flashed with an unprecedented solemnity.
Even when facing Raikage, I never felt like this.
Is Raikage strong?
As strong as an animal!
But Xili is not afraid of Thunder Shadow.
Because no matter how strong the Raikage is, he can't break through his defense, and not being able to break through the heavy gold flame's defense means that he has an absolute advantage.
But this unknown enemy in front of me is different.
The opponent's ability can ignore the defense of heavy gold flames!
This thing is more terrifying than Lan Dun!
"Although the heavy gold flame is only an ability in the normal state, and will have more powerful power after awakening, but for now"
Xi Li half-squinted his eyes, focusing on Shalan's figure from God's perspective.
The movement speed just now was too fast.
He didn't even notice what ninjutsu the other party released.
Just the moment he passed by the opponent, his left arm seemed to have touched something, and then the arm immediately turned into a mummy shape.
"Try it with the shadow clone first."
Those who have no brains are idiots, only those who know how to use their brains can win every battle.
It's not that Xi Li has no brains, but he likes to use force to solve everything.
When there is no absolute power to crush everything, and both sides have the power to kill each other, resourcefulness is the key factor that determines victory or defeat.
Bang bang bang!!
Three clouds of white smoke exploded.
Immediately afterwards, three identical Xili appeared in front of him, except that their left arms were all in the shape of dried mummies.
Seeing this scene, Xili frowned slightly, "Sure enough, it still affects the shadow clone!"
But that's okay.
Even with just one hand I can beat that bastard!
"Do it!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The three shadow clones disappeared immediately.
Three identical auras approached Shalan's hiding spot, and they didn't hide themselves deliberately, so they were immediately noticed by the other party.
"Shadow clone?"
There was a hint of doubt in Shalan's eyes. What was the point of using the shadow clone at this time?
His ability is not afraid of numbers!
"Death Desert!"
Snapped!
Shallan formed a seal with his hands, chakra condensed in his palms, and then swatted at the three shadow clones coming towards him without dodging.
The first shadow clone hit him in the face with a fist.
Shallan took a step sideways to avoid it, and then slapped the opponent's right wrist with one hand.
The first shadow clone started from the wrist, and the arm quickly shriveled up like a deflated balloon, and a strong fist fell on Shallan's face.
There was a crisp click sound.
But it wasn't Shalan's facial bones that were shattered, but the right arm of the first shadow clone was broken!
Shalan took advantage of the situation and threw the opponent over his shoulder, throwing him away.
At this moment, the second shadow clone's attack arrived.
Take a kick in the air and slash down with all your strength!
Like a mountain ax, it actually tore the air into two halves.
In sight, a huge black ax fell from the sky, and the airflow on both sides was swept away by the black cyclone and dispersed wildly.
Even before Shalan's body was hit, he could feel a huge pressure pressing down from the top of his head.
It feels like a big mountain has crashed down.
"It's so powerful, but it's vulnerable to my abilities!"
Instead of retreating, Shallan advanced forward, leaping up into the air on her toes, and swung out a palm with one hand. The decayed chakra condensed in her palm hit the calf of the second shadow clone.
Dry up!
Swish swish!!
In an instant, the water in the leg muscles of the second shadow clone was lost, and the thick and powerful right leg shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two shadow clones, one in front and one behind, were instantly knocked down.
Only the last third shadow clone, attacking from the side, was left.
This time, the third shadow clone learned the lessons of the first two and did not directly attack Shalan in close combat. Instead, it suddenly stopped at the fifth step.
Heavy gold flame shaping!
Zhengzhengzheng!!
The black flames transformed into sharp black claws, resembling the shape of a tiger's front paws.
"Black Tiger Claw!"
One of Xili's few ranged group attack skills, it is also a move that attacks at a certain distance compared to other moves.
Buzz!!
In the dim forest, five sharp black lights flashed.
"Don't you dare to get closer?"
Shallan is a powerful elite Jonin, and he has simulated this situation countless times in his mind.
The invincible Bull Demon King in close combat was beaten so hard that he no longer dared to get close?
It's quite an interesting joke.
However, is there nothing we can do if we don’t get close to him?
"Arc sand knife!"
The transformation of chakra is a skill that jounin must master, and the desert of death full of decay is also the embodiment of chakra.
Since its essence is Chakra, it has the ability to shape-shift.
Just like Xili's heavy gold flame.
"Become a mummy for me!"
Shalan raised one hand, and the Desert of Death in his hand suddenly transformed into a semicircular sand knife, which struck the waist and abdomen of the third shadow clone from a distance of more than three feet.
The third shadow clone's black tiger claws paused.
Also because the body became a mummy and deviated from its original trajectory.
Zheng!!!
The black tiger's claws slapped out and hit a big tree beside Shalan. The tree trunk, which was several inches thick, was immediately torn open and split into six petals, which exploded and shattered.
"The attack power is quite strong, but it's a pity that you touched me!"
A flash of self-satisfaction flashed through Shalan's eyes. His ability was not intimidating even against a shadow-level powerhouse.
unless
Gululu!!
The sound of bubbles suddenly sounded, and the shadow clone that was the first to be thrown out stood up from the river.
Cold water dripped down the wet body.
None of this is the point!
The focus is on his two arms which are gradually recovering.
Like a dry balloon being inflated.
Expands at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The right arm of the first shadow clone was hanging aside in a weird posture due to fracture, while the left arm was intact to support the body and stood up!
The two arms are no longer like dried mummies, but are now unusually plump.
Well-defined muscles, full of explosive power!
"how come?!"
Shallan's pupils shrank suddenly and she looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
Why can the desert of death recover after being hit by him??
