Chapter 360 Encounter 7
Taking advantage of the opponent's frantic chakra transfer, Hyuga Kanan seized the opportunity, successfully penetrating the barrier with his spiritual power. When his spiritual power touched the source of the chakra, the scene before him shocked him—there stood a red-haired youth with crippled legs and a frail body, like a candle flickering in the wind!
The young man's back was densely covered with black metal rods identical to those on the Six Paths of Pain, a horrifying sight. Even more chilling was that Hyuga Kanan could clearly sense that at this moment, the red-haired youth was recklessly and frantically releasing his immense chakra, an act that was undoubtedly severely squeezing out his already fragile life force.
Moreover, those eyes, sunken deep in their sockets, seemed to possess some kind of special ability; they greedily sucked every bit of life force from the red-haired youth's body, as if they were never satisfied. The entire scene was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, sending chills down one's spine.
When Hyuga Kanan keenly sensed that unusual aura, he was startled, his face filled with disbelief. He never expected this outcome and tried to glean any clues from the other party's appearance. However, no matter how hard he tried to sense and analyze, he couldn't imagine that the person hidden behind the Six Paths of Pain would be in such a bizarre and shocking state!
This discovery struck Hyuga Kanan like a bolt from the blue, deeply affecting his heart. He had thought he had a sufficient understanding of the situation, but now he realized that everything was just the tip of the iceberg. The situation, which was beyond reason and completely unexpected, caught him off guard and left him momentarily at a loss.
Hyuga Kanan frowned deeply, fine beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead. He knew that the challenge before him far exceeded his previous expectations, and that the Sage of Six Paths was likely hiding something very well. But at the same time, a strong sense of curiosity welled up within him, wanting to find out what had caused this peculiar situation.
Having received a continuous flow of chakra, the Six Paths of Pain exuded a powerful and sharp aura. Their cold and ruthless gazes were fixed on Hyuga Kanan, as if they already saw him as a lamb to the slaughter. Clearly, the Six Paths of Pain would not give Hyuga Kanan any time to breathe or think, much less the chance to slowly sense and carefully explore his weaknesses. Thus, in this suffocatingly tense atmosphere, the Six Paths of Pain launched yet another fierce and relentless attack without hesitation!
"Shinra Tensei!" With this roar, Pain was the first to strike, standing there like a war god. His deep and cold eyes flashed with a chilling light, as if he could see through everything.
In an instant, an unparalleled, vast, and boundless repulsive force erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption. This extremely powerful force swept around like a raging torrent.
Meanwhile, not far from Pain, Hyuga Kanan was intently sensing Nagato's situation deep within the tower when he was caught off guard by the sudden repulsive force. When he felt that terrifying force, his expression instantly turned to astonishment. Despite his best efforts to steady himself, all his efforts seemed futile in the face of such astonishing power.
Hyuga Kanan's body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Upon landing, the earth elemental armor on Hyuga Kanan's body seemed to be falling apart. But he endured the discomfort, stood up again, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Just moments ago, an unparalleled and powerful force suddenly erupted! The impact of this repulsive force was like a raging torrent, its power beyond imagination. Compared to the intensity of the previous attack, this strike was more than ten times stronger! Such terrifying energy fluctuations seemed to tear the entire space apart.
Faced with such a ferocious attack, even the battle-hardened Hyuga Kanan, protected by a sturdy earth elemental armor, was shocked. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at his once indestructible defensive gear, now utterly vulnerable to this astonishing power, instantly shattering into countless fragments scattered across the ground. This outcome was completely unexpected, causing even the usually confident Hyuga Kanan to feel a sense of astonishment.
Pain showed no sign of halting his attack. Three figures moved with ghostly speed towards the spot where Hyuga Kanan had fallen. Their movements were agile and swift, as if they had rehearsed this deadly assault countless times. Every step carried a sharp killing intent, every strike contained boundless power, clearly aiming to annihilate this uninvited guest through a relentless barrage.
The three figures moved in perfect unison, their movements seamless. One launched the first attack, his black staff gleaming with cold light, stabbing at Hyuga Kanan with lightning speed; another followed closely behind, unleashing unpredictable ninjutsu to try and block all possible escape routes; the last stood at a distance, observing coldly, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
In the suffocating tension, Hyuga Kanan resolutely stood up, his sharp, hawk-like gaze fixed on the three ghostly figures pouncing towards him. He took a deep breath, then stomped his foot, his figure shooting forward like an arrow, choosing to face the attack head-on without hesitation! At the same time, his previously tattered earth elemental armor began to self-repair at an astonishing speed, as if it possessed a life of its own. The fragmented armor plates rapidly pieced together and reassembled, restoring him to its original state in the blink of an eye, radiating a dazzling metallic luster, like an indestructible divine armor!
Facing a fierce attack from three completely different directions, Hyuga Kanan remained unfazed, his gaze fixed firmly and calmly on his enemy. He took a deep breath, and a powerful force surged within him, gathering in his palm like a raging torrent. Then, without hesitation, he unleashed the power of the Earth Element.
His entire body radiated a dazzling light, this mysterious and ancient power continuously flowing into the surrounding earth. With a gentle wave of his hand, the once calm ground suddenly trembled violently, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand. In the blink of an eye, two towering, indestructible walls rose from the ground, like two majestic mountain ranges standing before Payne on either side.
These two walls, as solid as iron, held Pain and his companions firmly at bay. They not only blocked the enemy's path but also bought Hyuga Kanan precious time and space. Seizing this opportunity, Hyuga Kanan flashed forward, charging towards Pain directly in front of him like a ghost. His fist, gleaming with a cold light, sliced through the air, aiming straight for his opponent's vitals with unstoppable momentum!
A deafening roar erupted—"Bang!" The sound seemed to tear the very fabric of space apart, sending chills down one's spine. In that breathtaking instant, Hyuga Kanan's fist, as hard as steel, slammed into the black metal rod thrusting towards him!
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere. The seemingly indestructible black metal rod was utterly vulnerable to this terrifying power and was forcefully blasted into two pieces! The broken ends gleamed with cold light, as if telling the story of just how astonishing the power of that attack was.
However, Hyuga Kanan's offensive did not stop there. His punches surged forward like a raging sea, relentlessly striking his opponent's body without reservation! Each punch contained boundless power, as if to utterly shatter the enemy before him.
At this moment, Hyuga Kanan was as if possessed by a god of war, exuding an unparalleled aura. His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing his unwavering pursuit of victory; his muscles were taut, full of explosive power; his movements were as swift as lightning, making it impossible to track his trajectory.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Pain clearly felt immense pressure. But he did not back down; instead, he reacted quickly, attempting to withstand Hyuga Kanan's overwhelming offensive.
Just then, the previously calm ground suddenly began to shake violently. Two towering earthen walls rose rapidly from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, trapping Payne on both sides and preventing them from immediately supporting the battle in front.
Meanwhile, the situation on the main battlefield was becoming increasingly tense and fierce. Payne had just suffered a fierce bombardment, and his body was trembling slightly, but he showed no intention of retreating. However, just as he was preparing to reorganize his offensive, he found himself in a passive position.
It turned out that Pain, who had been hiding behind the three figures, had already foreseen the changes in the entire battle. He knew that if he didn't take action soon, Pain facing him directly would be in great danger. So, at this critical moment, Pain unhesitatingly unleashed a powerful repulsive force technique.
That invisible force, like a surging wave, swept towards Hyuga Kanan. It not only successfully disrupted his continuous attack rhythm, but also destroyed the earthen walls blocking both sides with overwhelming force, opening a path to survival for the trapped Pain.
