"If you're going to keep being so ungrateful... then I'll send you to your death thoroughly..." An aged, hoarse voice came from the White Snake Sage's snake head, containing incomparable rage.
As the voice fell, the White Snake Sage's body gradually began to change and expand, slowly breaking away from the human form.
Snake tail... snake body... snake head...
It completely turned into a giant white-scaled serpent, completely shedding its human form and returning to its most primal state.
"I will make you wish you were dead... Those who disobey me... those who resist me... must all die!"
Its venomous snake pupils were bloodshot, and its gaze looked as if it wanted to swallow Lexon in one bite.
The surrounding natural energy became even more manic because the White Snake Sage revealed its original form. This time, the White Snake Sage chose not to calm the mania but instead used Senjutsu chakra to agitate and respond to the restlessness, resonating thoroughly with the natural energy.
After this, unless Ryuchi Cave and its surrounding environment underwent a long period of adjustment, the restless natural energy would definitely turn this area into a forbidden zone for living creatures!
It no longer cared about so much. Its goal at this moment was to kill Lexon right here, or at the very least, drag it out until his life force was exhausted, thoroughly wearing him to death here!
The white scales on the White Snake Sage's body emitted a brilliant luster, magnificent yet with a strange eeriness. The light was so bright it seemed ready to steal life away; weak individuals would die instantly just by looking at it.
As it used a certain move, the dense and restless Senjutsu chakra, which was about to explode, combined with natural energy and was forcibly compressed and condensed in front of the White Snake Sage's half-opened mouth.
It felt quite like a Tailed Beast Ball; it seemed to be a similar technique.
But the speed at which the White Snake Sage condensed this was ridiculously fast, taking shape in an instant.
The energy level contained within it was far beyond what a Tailed Beast Ball could compare to!
"Sage Dragon..."
"Bang!!!"
Before the name of the White Snake Sage's move could be spoken, its snake body trembled violently, and the semi-erect snake head crashed to the ground. The technique that had already taken shape was interrupted, turning back into manic natural energy and Senjutsu chakra.
In mid-air, Lexon retracted the fist he had smashed down. Looking at the White Snake Sage embedded in the ground, with blood faintly seeping from its scales, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Since you've turned into your true form, the warm-up exercise is over..."
The flat voice echoed within Ryuchi Cave.
Damn it...
Damn it...
Damn it!!!
The White Snake Sage broke free from the deeply embedded ground, using Senjutsu chakra to recover the injured area hit by the fist. Its eyes were even more venomous, wishing it could skin and debone the brat in front of it.
Although filled with hatred and anger, the White Snake Sage still maintained basic rationality.
His strength is above my estimation... Even if I revert to my true form, it will be hard to be his opponent...
Then I can only stall for time... wait until he can't sustain this state...
The White Snake Sage thought, and soon decided on the next combat objective.
Make him exhaust his life force! Wear him to death!
"Night Guy..."
And over there, the moment Lexon finished saying "warm-up is over," he began to get completely serious, invoking the ultimate power and moves of the [Gate of Death] for the first time.
In mid-air, the red steam around him surged violently, swarming and suddenly transforming into a huge bright red dragon head, enveloping Lexon within it.
And the black ominous aura radiating from him faintly formed a shell on the surface of the dragon head, fiercely deepening the momentum of this move.
Danger Danger Danger!!!
The White Snake Sage's snake perception flared up infinitely the moment it saw the red dragon head, frantically warning, constantly sending signals of extreme danger.
"Sage Dragon Wild Tail!"
It wanted to interrupt the opponent with an offensive, just like Lexon did earlier.
Thus, the snake tail swung, the scales on it dispersing brilliance. The power contained within it seemed capable of crushing everything it whipped.
"Bang!"
This wasn't the sound of the snake tail hitting Lexon, but the explosive sound made by Lexon's movement. The space along his trajectory seemed to distort!
"Tsk..."
Suddenly, a rain of blood flew.
Upon contact with the raiding black-red dragon head, the White Snake Sage's scaled tail was instantly pierced through like tofu, and the snake tail below the wound suddenly broke off!
My scales... can't block it...
The White Snake Sage's snake face was full of astonishment.
It was shocked by the opponent's attack.
This momentum is completely beyond expectation... it even feels like an attack not on the same level as mine...
While the White Snake Sage was thinking.
Accompanied by the sound of "Night Guy" ringing out again, the black-red dragon head raided once more.
"Sage Dragon Gold Transformation!"
In an instant, the brilliance of the scales on the White Snake Sage's body gradually unified, turning into the purest golden yellow, transforming from a white snake to a golden snake! The defensive ability of the snake scales rose!
However... it was futile.
Under Night Guy's attack, all defenses of the same level were like brittle paper, utterly useless.
The contacted golden scales were shattered instantly.
Another section of the snake body broke off!
The White Snake Sage's body now had only half remaining!
Damn it...
Why can this kind of attack be continuous...
Isn't this the ultimate move? Why does it seem like he's using it casually!
The White Snake Sage was full of doubts and incomprehension.
In reality, Night Guy indeed consumed the body immensely. Each use reduced Lexon's massive life force, making the demonized body's replenishment of life force a bit unable to keep up.
Moreover, every fist swung and leg kicked would suffer damage at the moment of contact due to the excessive burden.
Fortunately, his current body was a demonized body, and all damage could be recovered in an instant.
That was why he could use "Night Guy" so willfully.
But it had to be said, "Night Guy" was indeed the ultimate skill of Might Guy after opening the [Gate of Death], the peak embodiment of Taijutsu.
Its offensive power was so strong that Lexon felt that in this ninja world, apart from the sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki, no one could attempt to resist this move.
...
When only the White Snake Sage's snake head remained on the ground, the battle could be considered truly over.
And the White Snake Sage, with only a snake head left, was not dead yet, just dying.
The White Snake Sage was kicked by Lexon's Night Guy more than twenty times in total.
It wasn't that it took more than twenty Night Guys to bring the White Snake Sage to near-death.
Rather, Lexon intentionally avoided touching the White Snake Sage's life, specifically sparing it.
The attacks didn't aim for vital spots, allowing the White Snake Sage to enter a near-death state amidst the constant consumption of Senjutsu chakra to regenerate its body and the pain of having its body broken by Night Guy.
After all, if he killed it, wouldn't Lexon's purpose for coming here be gone?
So, Lexon planned to let the White Snake Sage replace the former position of a certain unknown deceased demon named Gyokko.
"My daily convenient sign-in staff."
It was only at this time that he slightly touched the White Snake Sage to sign in.
[Sign-in successful]
