124: Chapter 124 Blood in the RainWith his body crackling with electricity, Raikage faced the rapidly coalescing, head-down charging rock rhinoceros and unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist, crackling with immense lightning!
"Smash it for me!"
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the rhinoceros's massive head shattered, and its entire body was sent flying through the air before it vanished in a puff of white smoke while still in mid-air.
"This is never going to end!"
Raikage growled, his gaze sweeping over the other summoned beasts that were closing in from different directions.
Uchiha Itachi also moved.
His eyelids slightly closed, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his eye, before he suddenly opened them wide!His scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly focused on the split dog that was rapidly approaching with two heads splitting off.
"Amaterasu."
Black flames ignited on the Split Hound's massive body, like a curse from the underworld.
The flames spread rapidly, and no matter how much the split dog struggled, its newly formed body was still entangled and devoured by the inextinguishable black flames.
The piercing howls of the vicious dogs echoed in the rain, and within a few breaths, they were burned into a pile of charred remains.
Itachi's gaze didn't linger, locking onto the petite loli figure atop the distant tower.
Black flames suddenly erupted from her shoulder and quickly spread throughout her body.
The little girl's figure twisted in the flames before plummeting straight down from the top of the tower.
Below, Pain, who had been waiting in the Hell Path, rushed out quickly, summoned Yama, swallowed the burning body in one gulp, and then disappeared into the intricate shadows of the pipes after a few leaps, obviously going to retrieve and repair it.
The siege by the summoned beasts was thus broken.
"Well done!" Raikage praised.
However, the crisis was not over.
"Watch out above!" Machi shouted urgently.
The Asura Path of Pain had somehow leaped to a position diagonally above the group, his arm skin cracking open to reveal a complex mechanical structure beneath.Small missiles, trailing plumes of flame, roared towards the central area where the group was gathered!
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"
Red Earth reacted extremely quickly, slamming its palms against the ground.
A thick earthen wall suddenly rose up, blocking everyone's way.
"Boom!Boom!Boom!"
Missiles crashed into the earthen wall one after another and exploded, instantly filling the air with smoke and fire, and scattering debris everywhere.
The smoke and dust from the explosion had not yet dissipated.
"call out!"
A sharp, unique sound, completely different from any other ninja tool, pierced through the rain and came from the depths of the Land of Rain!
It was incredibly fast; the sound and the attack arrived almost simultaneously!
The long, specially designed bullet, wreathed in spiraling airflow, struck the newly erected earthen wall of Chitu with pinpoint accuracy at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
The bullet had extremely strong penetrating power, and the thick earthen wall was instantly pierced through as if it were made of paper!
The momentum has lessened slightly, but it is still fatal.
The projectile spun and flew past Kankuro's ear, who was instinctively and frantically dodging to the side as he was giving a frantic warning!
"Ugh!"
Kankuro screamed and staggered as he was pulled along.
His left ear was instantly smashed, leaving only a bloody, mangled gash.Blood gushed out, staining half of his cheek and collar red.
"Kankuro!"
Maki's expression changed drastically, and he quickly helped him up.
As Kankuro was struck, the others instinctively scattered and jumped away, using the jagged rocks along the riverbank to conceal themselves.
The opponent possesses an unknown attack method with extremely long range and immense power!
Kurenai landed lightly behind a giant rock, leaning against the cold stone, breathing slightly heavily.
She is better at illusion magic, and the direct physical attacks and summoned beast impacts put her under immense pressure.
She cautiously peeked out halfway, trying to observe the direction from which the attack was coming.
Just as she moved her feet, wanting to find a better angle.
"Click".
The very slightest mechanical sound was as if something had been broken.
Hong's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, the ground beneath her feet suddenly exploded!
Countless grains of dust mixed with gravel shot upwards!A large net, pre-buried and woven from countless fine yet incredibly strong metal wires, sprang up from the ground like the jaws of a predating crocodile, trapping her completely!
"Hmm!"
Hong only had time to let out a cry of surprise before she was tightly bound and enveloped by the iron net.
The metal wire was extremely sharp; in the instant she struggled, it tore through her tight-fitting bandages, leaving countless fine bloodstains on her arms, waist, abdomen, and many other parts of her body.
The net tightened suddenly, leaving her in an extremely awkward position, her feet off the ground, dangling in mid-air like a beautiful moth caught in a spider's web.
"red!"
Matt Kai's furious roar.
He saw Hong trapped, hung up with bloodstains all over her body, her eyes rapidly turning bloodshot.
"Damn it!Let go of Hong!" Kai's green energy surged, and he was about to rush out from behind the cover.
The second gunshot rang out almost the instant Kai's hair, which was sticking up, swayed slightly outwards.
The bullet struck the edge of the boulder where Kai was hiding, blasting a crater the size of a bowl.Shards of rock splashed onto his face, stinging him.
"Kai!Calm down!"
Itachi's voice came through the rain, "Miss Kurenai has been used as bait.The enemy is just waiting for us to rush out!"
Kai was forced to pull his head back, his teeth grinding together.
He looked at the red figure struggling helplessly in the air in the distance, and the streaks of blood stung his eyes.
"Damn coward!Come out here!"
The Raikage was furious.This kind of attack beyond visual range left him with a lot of power but nowhere to vent it.He fired a Lightning Release attack in the direction from which the bullet was likely to have come, but it only flattened a section of rock wall in the distance and did nothing.
Ming Ti lay prone in a crevice of a natural cave several kilometers away, his entire body covered in camouflage cloth that blended in with the environment, with only one eye and the long barrel of his sniper rifle visible.
Through his scope, he admired the graceful figure twirling in the net on the distant riverbank, as well as the elite ninjas from various villages hiding behind cover, too afraid to show their faces.
His fingers gently caressed the trigger, as if stroking a lover's skin.
The crosshairs of the scope are like poison.The snake's tongue slowly moved across the body, which was bound tightly by an iron net and outlined a breathtaking curve.
The rain soaked her red clothes and long hair, which clung to her skin, making her look even more vulnerable.
Finally, the crosshair settled on her beautifully shaped right leg, which was trembling from the pain.
His breathing became so calm it was almost gone, and his finger on the trigger began to tighten.
"Bang!"
The third gunshot ripped through the rain.
With his muscles taut, Kai felt time stretch out infinitely.He could clearly sense the faint shockwave created when the spinning bullet left the muzzle, and the chilling shriek that pierced through the layers of rain.
"red!"
The pent-up anger and worry could no longer be contained at this moment!
boom!
Blue steam, like a tangible pillar of light, shot into the sky from Kai's body!
The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and the surrounding rainwater evaporated into white mist the moment it came into contact with the blue steam!
His eyes flashed red light.
His figure flickered for a moment, and the next instant, he appeared in front of Hong with a speed that surpassed the limits of visual perception, just like a wild beast that had broken free from the constraints of space, firmly blocking the bullet that was flying towards her!
Faced with the deadly bullet that was about to strike, Kai's left hand shot out like lightning, and his right fist, carrying the power to shatter mountains and split rocks, slammed into the palm of his left hand!
"Daytime Tiger!"
A punch was thrown!
A lifelike, enormous white tiger emerged from before his fist!Roaring and howling!
With an overwhelming and terrifying force, it charged straight at the bullet!
The spinning bullets collided with the roaring white tiger in mid-air!
A strange, sharp sound that made your teeth ache.
The specially designed armor-piercing shell, upon contact with the White Tiger's aura, turned into a cloud of dust like shattered glass!
But the tiger's momentum did not diminish in the slightest!
With a speed faster than a bullet, it followed its original trajectory, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and pounced back towards the cave crevice where Mingti was hiding, several kilometers away!
Wherever it passed, it plowed deep furrows into the rocks on the ground, and completely emptied the rain curtain in the air, forming a brief vacuum passage!
