A spiral airflow, roughly as thick as a finger and barely an inch long, tore through the air ahead like an armor-piercing round from a Barrett anti-material sniper rifle, at supersonic speed. But due to the extremely small volume of the airflow, there was no sonic boom cloud, nor was there any piercing sonic boom sound. Only a sharp, piercing whistle. The spiral airflow tore through the air resistance and rapidly shot towards Tsunade's throat. Its speed was almost too fast to react to. The pupils in Tsunade's beautiful eyes constricted slightly.
Her face showed a hint of surprise, no longer the calm she had before. Her body quickly shifted to the side. The spiral airflow almost grazed her skin, flying past her.
Although she wasn't hit by the airflow, she still felt a slight stinging sensation. Just being grazed was enough to feel a bit of pain. If her throat were pierced by this airflow... she'd probably die, wouldn't she?!
Tsunade's pretty face wore a grim expression. She quickly made hand seals. Her two palms seemed to turn into afterimages, successfully making hand seals in less than a second: "Ram-Horse-Snake-Dragon-Rat-Ox-Tiger! Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!!" Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and Tsunade's mouth suddenly opened. Three intensely hot fireballs spewed from her mouth.
They shot rapidly towards Liu Chen from three different directions: left, center, and right. The scorching heat instantly made the wild grass beneath their feet turn yellow and withered. Some wild grass even caught fire. The scorching heat made people feel uncomfortable. It even made the air they breathed feel very hot.
Hinata in the distance saw these three surging fireballs, and her delicate face instantly paled in shock. Even she, a Ninja Academy student who hadn't graduated yet, could tell... this Fire Release technique was incredibly powerful. However, she was astonished to see that the Guardian Brother didn't dodge! Instead, he stood calmly on the spot, expressionless. He seemed to regard the surging flames as nothing. "This guy isn't dodging?! This is a B-rank ninjutsu, a ninjutsu that can instantly evaporate a pond's water.
If an ordinary ninja doesn't dodge, their blood and other bodily fluids would evaporate completely within five seconds." Tsunade's slender brows furrowed slightly. She was curious why Liu Chen wasn't dodging. Did he not know the power of Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet?! That would be almost impossible, wouldn't it? After all, the scorching high temperature in the air... indicates that this ninjutsu is very powerful. "Just now I demonstrated Soru and Shigan. Now, I'll demonstrate Tekkai for you.
When an enemy's attack is too fast for you to dodge, or when you want to withstand an attack to look for a counter opportunity, Tekkai becomes crucial." As Liu Chen's calm words fell, the three giant fireballs enveloped him. Blazing flames burned fiercely around him. It even caused a considerable explosion.
Countless sparks and debris flew everywhere, igniting the surrounding plants. A radius of several meters around Liu Chen became a sea of flames. The flames lasted for a full ten seconds before slowly dissipating due to the passage of time. Looking at the figure that still stood firmly there, Tsunade's pupils constricted slightly.
She exclaimed in disbelief, "He actually... he's completely unharmed! How is that possible? This guy... is he a monster?!" She was horrified to see that Liu Chen had no injuries at all. Under such scorching heat... Liu Chen's hair hadn't even singed.
Even his clothes were perfectly intact. It was just that the explosion of the flames had caused some dust to stick to his clothes. Liu Chen patted the dust off his clothes. His expression remained unchanged. He continued expressionlessly, "This is the Six Powers: Iron Body! As for why my clothes also hardened... you can figure that out later." "Next... is... Paper Arts." As Liu Chen's words fell, a fist carrying immense power whizzed past his ear.
It turned out Tsunade saw that he seemed fine. So, she took the initiative to attack while he was speaking!! Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh... Wave after wave of powerful punches swept past Liu Chen. Every punch, capable of making a Jounin cough blood, was effortlessly dodged by him. Liu Chen didn't even use Observation Haki; he merely used "Paper Arts" to dodge. His body seemed to transform into a piece of paper. Drifting freely in the air. While dodging Tsunade's fierce punches, he explained, "Paper Arts is very difficult to master. It's considered one of the most difficult of the Six Powers, and when practicing, you might suffer even more than today." "So it's best to be mentally prepared, otherwise, you won't be able to handle it." After Liu Chen finished speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
His right hand swiftly reached out and firmly grasped Tsunade's fist. Tsunade's monstrous strength gradually dissipated in his palm. "What?! He actually... he actually directly took my Monstrous Strength punch?!" Tsunade had no idea how shocked she was today. She felt as if she was being suppressed. The opponent was completely overwhelming her! "Old hag... your strength is much weaker than one of my old rivals." Liu Chen suddenly exerted force with one hand and flung her to the left. Tsunade felt her body... as if it were out of control. Her entire being flew to the left, flying for dozens of meters before she barely managed to land steadily. She looked at her reddened right fist, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. She simply couldn't imagine that this young man could so easily catch her Monstrous Strength punch. He could even send her, a Konoha Sannin skilled in strength, flying. Even the current Hokage couldn't do something like this! One point Tsunade had to admit was... this nameless man in front of her... in terms of taijutsu, he seemed much stronger than herself!!
