Chapter 60: The Three Idiots vs. the High Priest
Chapter 60: The Three Idiots vs. the High Priest
Faced with an immortal being who could live and die together by consuming blood, the three little ones completely changed their tactics.
The usual combined attack, which they used to employ, had now become a mere game of hit-and-run tactics.
Kisame Hoshigaki played the role of direct restraint and control. His water-style techniques had a large range and he had a large amount of chakra. He constantly created water waves and water walls to restrict the priest's movement space.
At the same time, the wide-ranging water flow also gave Full Moon more room to maneuver.
Using his water-transformation technique and agile movements, Hozuki Mangetsu launched probing attacks from tricky angles, while his White Fang short sword targeted vital points such as joints, throat, and eyes.
Unfortunately, what would be fatal to an ordinary person had little effect on the high priest of the evil god.
Even with his heart pierced and his head blown apart, this guy could still fight the three little ones with boundless energy!
Fortunately, this guy's attacks didn't do much damage to the full moon.
The Hozuki clan's water transformation technique perfectly counters the Death Possession Bloodline, but its drawback is that in order to maintain the Full Moon's water transformation technique, Yuri Amane cannot continue to use Lightning Release, which greatly suppresses her combat style.
Moreover, Full Moon's chakra is also running low.
"It's useless, it's useless! Your attacks are like tickling!"
The high priest laughed wildly. Although he was occasionally hit by the three attackers, it did not cause him any serious injury. He swung the blood scythe more fiercely, with a crazy momentum of mutual destruction, forcing the three to dodge frequently.
What's more troublesome is that as the battle continues, the priest's aura does not weaken as the wounds increase. On the contrary, due to the long battle, the connection with the blood scythe in his hand becomes stronger and stronger. Not only do his wounds begin to heal, but his aura also becomes more and more powerful!
"Captain, the Blood Scythe is constantly releasing chakra to replenish the High Priest's energy. It's probably absorbing the life force from the sacrifices and the dead cultists."
In the shadows above, Makoto Koji quietly observed the battle, while Ao whispered, "If things continue like this, the tide will turn, and Mangetsu and the others will be defeated sooner or later."
"Yes, I know."
Gouju knew perfectly well what was going on, but he wasn't in a hurry.
The three are undoubtedly geniuses of the Hidden Mist Village, but genius is not the same as strongman.
For a genius to truly mature, they need to undergo countless trials and tribulations; it's definitely not something that can be achieved overnight. Someone like the High Priest of the Evil God, possessing immortality, would be an excellent sparring partner for the three of them.
This opportunity was rare, so he naturally wanted to make the most of this experience package.
Second.
The instant he had the three little ones make their move, he had already used the Hand of God to replicate this so-called "immortal body"!
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed.
According to the analysis feedback from the God's Hand, this immortal body can indeed be considered immortal. No matter what kind of damage the body suffers, it will not die. Even the cells will not age or die naturally, and it does not need to eat or metabolize.
Because after obtaining immortality, the body's functions have deviated from normal biological laws, making it more like an object that is "locked" in a state of survival.
Damage can only disrupt its physical structure, but it cannot stop its life activities.
This also includes its own numerical value.
Once he obtains immortality, his strength and chakra will be permanently fixed at that point.
Unless the guy who granted him immortality has a change of heart and gives him some chakra power, which is the current state of the high priest, his strength will never be able to continue to improve or change!
Overall, immortality isn't even the key. The real core is actually the causal curse technique of Death Possession Blood, which is paired with immortality!
The essence of immortality is a passive immortality skill that violates the laws of biology and is given by a so-called evil god to serve a cursed ritual.
"Tsk, what trash."
Gouju Cheng curled his lip in disgust; the grid for the Corpse Bone Vein had been pushed aside.
He had already made up his mind.
They create an immortal body here, and then they create the Eight Gates Formation there.
When the two combine, they become an infinite array of eight gates, unstoppable by gods or Buddhas. They can kick anything, from the most powerful to the most powerful, to the most unstoppable.
But while the idea was wonderful, reality was cruel.
When he is immortal, everything about him will be frozen and sealed, and even if he uses the Eight Gates to open the chakra points in his body, there will be no change.
However, this skill is not entirely useless; at least during its activation phase, Makoto Karatachi is indeed invincible.
However, Gouju Cheng dared not use it recklessly, because this immortality was based on the blessing of an evil god. He was unsure whether the evil god would come knocking on his door after the ten-minute usage period, or whether it would leave any lingering effects on his body...
In conclusion, to sum up.
Never mind, I'll change it for you in a bit!
"High water wrist!"
Hozuki Mangetsu's arm suddenly swelled, and with immense strength, he gripped the White Fang short sword, colliding fiercely with the high priest's attacking Blood Scythe.
The Blood Scythe flew out of his hand, and Full Moon spat out another stream of water.
"Water Release: Water Blade!"
"Pfft!"
Head flew off!
The headless body of the high priest swayed but did not fall. Instead, he stretched out his regenerating right hand, precisely grabbed the flying head, and pressed it against his neck!
Immediately afterwards, a surge of dark red chakra erupted from the Blood Scythe, and under this chakra, the severed head and torso miraculously reconnected.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? Did you see that?! That's immortality!"
The high priest twisted his head, which had just been reattached, and let out a maniacal laugh.
The three little ones all looked a bit pale.
It wasn't fear, but the massive depletion of physical strength and chakra.
Man Yue was panting heavily. Although the Water Transformation Technique could make her immune to physical damage, it consumed a lot of chakra.
Although Kisame Hoshigaki has a large amount of chakra, he felt pressured by continuously using large-scale water jutsu. Yuri Amegaki was also restricted in her lightning jutsu because she was worried about accidentally injuring Mangetsu, which greatly reduced her combat power.
That's enough.
The high priest noticed the three's exhaustion, his eyes flashing with even more bloodlust. He strode forward, and the blood scythe roared forth.
"Be careful!"
Kisame Hoshigaki reminded him, quickly forming hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"
A thick wall of water rose up, blocking the way for the three of them.
However, the high priest neither dodged nor avoided, raising the blood scythe high and slashing it down fiercely at the water wall. With just one strike, he split the water wall in two. Then, the blood scythe flew out of his hand and spun around, still full of momentum, and slashed at the three people behind him!
The power and speed of this attack far exceeded the previous ones; it was clearly a preparatory strike!
Hozuki Mangetsu's pupils shrank suddenly. Even if he used water to dodge at this moment, Yuri and Kisame would definitely be injured. Once they were injured and lost blood, the opponent could use that strange technique of sharing life and death.
He had to block it, but his chakra was already...
do not care!
"Water Release: Shield of the Ebony Hat..."
"Kamui!"
