Can it compress the attack and return it...
Lexon thought to himself.
The red steam on his body surged, and his figure instantly turned into an afterimage, fiercely dodging the incoming white ball.
But the moment Lexon dodged the white ball, it didn't continue in its original direction after missing its target. Instead, it swerved violently, chasing after Lexon's moving figure.
Just like the mist cloud Lexon used earlier with the Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds, it possessed a tracking function.
Truly, the tables turn; before, he used a tracking move to hit others, and now he was being hit by a tracking move used by someone else.
Even the power contained within the move was his own.
This is quite interesting...
Lexon thought as he looked back at the white ball chasing him closely while moving.
If I can't dodge it, I'll just break it.
Suddenly, Lexon stopped moving and stood firm. He formed his palm into a knife, red and black aura surging.
The moment the white ball attacked, his eyes locked onto it, and he moved rapidly.
His palm chopped down.
The white ball, enduring Lexon's exquisite power control, did not explode. Instead, its shape changed like dough, smashing toward the ground.
"Boom!!!"
The ground bore the explosion of the white ball, accepting all the power contained within it, and instantly blasted open a bottomless pit.
The ground where Lexon stood collapsed in an instant.
He fell into the pit.
"Whoosh..."
In the nick of time, a piercing sound of breaking air rang out.
Accompanying the sound was an incredibly ferocious white-scaled snake head with bared fangs, biting fiercely toward Lexon's body.
The timing was too ingenious. Lexon had no extra time to react; he simply put up his arms and legs.
The ferocious and sharp snake fangs immediately pierced through Lexon's limbs, blood flowing.
But because of this, Lexon tightened his muscles, firmly jamming his limbs onto the snake fangs, exerting force so the snake head's mouth couldn't close down to swallow him.
His expression didn't change in the slightest due to this accident.
It remained as flat and indifferent as ever.
Suddenly, a massive suction force came from the depths of the white-scaled snake head's mouth.
Just like when it swallowed Lexon's fist shadows earlier, it wanted to forcibly suck Lexon into its mouth.
"Aren't you afraid of choking..." Lexon murmured in a low voice.
His limbs were stuck tight to the snake fangs; no matter how strong the suction force was, it couldn't suck Lexon in.
Realizing this was ineffective, the White Snake Sage stopped the suction and instead transmitted a black liquid from the snake fangs into Lexon's body.
"Poison?" Lexon noticed it instantly, but he paid it no mind.
Because... poison was almost useless against him.
His body had long ago stacked poison resistance to a terrifying degree through numerous sign-ins.
Moreover, after Demon Transformation, his body didn't fear these things...
Sure enough, the lethal venom had no effect on him; the moment it entered his body, it was decomposed and eliminated.
"Useless?"
The White Snake Sage was also somewhat surprised. Her poison affected even existences of the same level, but she saw no effect on the opponent.
Before she could think much more, she saw Lexon raise his fist to strike at her upper jaw. Immediately, the white-scaled snake head thrashed violently, and Lexon was thrown out hard, smashing against the stone wall and kicking up waves of gray smoke.
"Extreme: Phantom Sage Snake Shadow!"
The White Snake Sage's massive white-scaled snake head shrank back to normal size, revealing her half-snake, half-human form. Her snake eyes stared tightly at the gray smoke, Senjutsu chakra surging madly. Hundreds of ethereal snake shadows instantly emerged, flying directly toward Lexon's direction.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!"
Continuous, deafening sounds echoed throughout Ryuchi Cave. The stone wall shattered, falling rocks crumbled, and dust surged up, completely obscuring the view.
When the dust dissipated, what was revealed was nothing but pulverized stone powder.
The stone wall that suffered the attack had been pushed back more than ten meters!
The White Snake Sage adjusted her breathing slightly, calming the restless Senjutsu chakra in her body and the manic natural energy in the surrounding environment.
The series of defensive and offensive actions just now had been truly effortless.
Not to mention she was actually advanced in age and hadn't fought such a serious fight for a long time.
So she needed to relieve herself and adjust her state.
But while adjusting, her gaze remained fixed on Lexon's position, extremely wary.
In her expectation, that brat would definitely be injured by such an attack, but certainly not to the point of death, so she was wary of Lexon's violent counterattack.
"Tired already?"
Suddenly, a flat voice rang out abruptly.
The White Snake Sage's vertical snake pupils contracted sharply as she looked toward the source of the sound nearby.
Then she discovered that the brat was standing five meters away from her, and there wasn't a single wound on his flushed outer skin! Even the puncture wounds caused by her snake fangs had disappeared...
"Sage Snake Tail Swing!"
The White Snake Sage instantly entered a combat state. Her short body rotated, and one leg whipped out with the momentum.
In the next moment, that leg transformed into a slender white-scaled snake tail, striking toward Lexon's head with the force of ten thousand jun.
However, Lexon simply raised his arm. The muscles on it bulged, red steam spurted, and he forcefully withstood the striking snake tail.
A violent muffled sound rang out.
Then, Lexon extended his other hand, grabbing at the White Snake Sage's snake tail.
But the White Snake Sage seemed to have anticipated this. The moment she was touched, the snake tail suddenly shrank and retracted, returning once again to a human leg covered in white scales.
"Phantom Hidden Shadow Snake!"
With one strike failing, the White Snake Sage quickly used another move, mobilizing Senjutsu chakra and gathering it in front of her.
Something is there...
In the vision of Lexon's Rinnegan, the Senjutsu chakra gathered in front of the White Snake Sage into a snake-like shape and then vanished.
Turned invisible, huh...
Lexon thought.
Under the observation of his Rinnegan, he actually couldn't detect the movement of the impending attack.
Suddenly, [Instinct] transmitted a premonition from "above."
Immediately, his figure flashed, shifting his position.
Looking again at the place where he originally stood, it was silently covered with pits of varying depths.
A completely invisible attack...
This is somewhat interesting...
Lexon thought.
Although even if he hadn't dodged just now, he probably wouldn't have suffered any major damage. After all, what [Instinct] transmitted was just a pure directional premonition, not a signal like [Injury], [Danger], or [Lethal].
"Got anything else?" Lexon looked at the White Snake Sage and asked, the expression on his face like a child seeing a novel toy.
I didn't expect even this move to be detected and dodged...
The White Snake Sage gritted her teeth slightly. Hearing Lexon's words, which sounded like he was watching an interesting performance, anger appeared on her face.
How many years has it been... how many years have I not been offended like this...
As the supreme patriarch of Ryuchi Cave, one of the Three Great Sage Regions, she had always been revered. Yet today she met Lexon, a guy who showed no respect at all and kept disobeying her.
Therefore, the anger in her heart was gradually rising and surging.
