It seems this guy held back quite a bit when fighting Chiyo and Sakura.
Li Chuan stood there observing the battle between his Shadow Clone and Scorpion, suddenly realizing that the strength Scorpion displayed was actually much greater than he had initially thought.
Because, in his impression, during that battle between Scorpion, Chiyo, and Sakura, aside from using some Ninjutsu when controlling the Kazekage, Scorpion didn't release any Ninjutsu when controlling those hundreds of human puppets, and they were even inferior to the ten normal puppets Chiyo created.
However, in the current battle against his Shadow Clone, those hundreds of human puppets weren't just attacking with mechanisms; various Five Element Ninjutsu were released in coordination, and their power was no less than that of the Third Kazekage puppet.
At this moment, Scorpion, who was controlling the puppets in battle, began to feel his heart slowly grow heavier.
Because he also realized that he was actually at a disadvantage.
Every single Shadow Clone on the opposite side could use Five Element Ninjutsu, and their Chakra reserves were enormous, releasing high-level Ninjutsu of great power, and even compound Ninjutsu.
Crucially, every time he finally managed to get close with a puppet, those Shadow Clones would use space-time Ninjutsu to flash away, making it impossible to dispel the Shadow Clone through physical strikes.
In fact, what he didn't know was that because the Nine-Tailed Beast's Chakra was helping him recover, even if Scorpion destroyed all the Shadow Clones, Li Chuan could immediately summon them again.
After fighting for so long, Li Chuan's Chakra had long since completely recovered.
"Let's see how you hide now!"
Scorpion glanced at the Konoha Ninja who had just regained consciousness over there, and with a thought, quickly recalled the sixty-odd relatively intact puppets, then placed the Third Kazekage puppet back in front.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!"
This was the Third Kazekage's strongest Ninjutsu, using iron sand to form a large, spiky barrier in the air for piercing attacks, with an extremely wide range, and because it would constantly extend like tree branches, it was extremely difficult to avoid.
Crucially, his main target for this attack was actually Hinata Hizashi and the other Konoha Ninja who had just recovered from some injuries.
Scorpion no longer cared whether the bodies of the other Konoha Ninja were intact; this time, as long as he could take down Li Chuan and turn him into a human puppet, it would be the greatest gain.
Seeing that those Konoha Ninja were about to be killed, all the Shadow Clones Apparated in front of them, using their bodies to block this fatal blow for them, turning into blue smoke and disappearing.
Looking at Li Chuan, who disappeared in front of them after blocking the attack to save them, although they knew it was just a Shadow Clone, Hinata Hizashi and the others showed expressions of gratitude in their eyes.
Li Chuan's main body saw this and nodded secretly, knowing that the Hyuga Clan side was pretty much settled.
"Then let's end this."
The desired effect had been achieved, and he didn't plan to waste any more time.
"Sasori of the Red Sand, you are indeed formidable, but I have already seen through your weakness."
"So you haven't attacked until now because you were observing my weakness, but unfortunately, I myself am the most perfect art, without any weakness.
But I already know your weakness, and the next strike will be enough to finish you!"
Having dealt with Li Chuan's troublesome Shadow Clones, Scorpion gathered all the iron sand together to form a giant cone, then while controlling the remaining sixty puppets to surround Li Chuan, he once again controlled the Third Kazekage to use Ninjutsu.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Spire!"
The prismatic cone spun at high speed like a top, charging straight at Li Chuan.
Li Chuan subconsciously wanted to use Apparition, but a strange thing happened; his Apparition failed, and his body was involuntarily pulled towards the high-speed spinning top.
"The high-speed spinning iron sand can disrupt the surrounding magnetic field, thereby generating a powerful suction force that renders your space-time Ninjutsu ineffective, so just wait for death obediently!"
Scorpion, thinking he had victory in his grasp, immediately began to explain.
In his opinion, Li Chuan's strengths were nothing more than three points.
First, the special and powerful Shadow Clones, second, taijutsu even more formidable than Kisame's, and third, that special Fire Temple Ninjutsu that was over ten meters tall just now.
Now that the Shadow Clones had been defeated by him, it was estimated that the remaining Chakra in his body shouldn't be much.
And no matter how powerful his taijutsu was, it was still mortal flesh and blood, impossible to withstand so many of his poisoned human puppets.
As for that giant Thousand-Armed Kannon statue Ninjutsu, although its defense and attack were very strong, he believed that if it was hit by the Iron Sand Spire, the Kazekage's strongest single-target Magnet Release Ninjutsu, it would also be pierced through by the point-breaking-the-surface attack.
And that Thousand-Armed Kannon statue Ninjutsu, with such a large volume, must consume a lot of Chakra, so how long could the opponent's Chakra last now?
That's why he felt that Li Chuan was bound to lose next.
"To be able to seal space with a magnetic field, this is truly the first time I've encountered something like this."
Facing the spatial lockdown that prevented Apparition, Li Chuan was a little surprised, but his expression did not reveal any fear.
Actually, this was also normal; if scientists in Marvel could seal spatial movement using the principle of quantum entanglement, then it was nothing for Ninja to seal space with special iron sand Ninjutsu.
Similarly, the magic treasures he obtained from the Xuan Yin Sect, the Great Sumeru Profound Yin Cauldron and the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner, also had the effect of confining space.
Although the ways of using power in different Worlds were different, the effects were largely the same.
"After the Flying Sword Wings were refined, their power has never been truly displayed; since that's the case, let's try it now!"
Just as Hinata Hizashi and the others below were so nervous that sweat was about to break out on their foreheads because Li Chuan was in trouble, a pair of wings made entirely of swords suddenly appeared behind Li Chuan.
"Sword Control Technique: Twin Wings Slay Demons!"
He crossed his arms over his chest, and the pair of Flying Sword Wings behind him instantly transformed into two long whips made of swords, whipping and twisting at a speed difficult for the naked eye to see.
Those sixty puppets filled with various deadly mechanisms were instantly reduced to fragments and fell to the ground as soon as they entered the attack range of the Flying Sword Wings, unable to harm him in the slightest.
"Sword Control Technique: Sword Wheel!"
When the Iron Sand Spire approached, the hand seals in Li Chuan's hands changed, and the two sword whips transformed into two sword wheels, colliding with the high-speed spinning Iron Sand Spire.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the high-speed spinning Iron Sand Spire was no match for his magic treasure flying swords refined from Vibranium and uru metal; it was directly ground into iron sand powder by the sword wheels.
And as the Iron Sand Spire disappeared, the spatial lockdown was automatically Release.
"Apparition."
Li Chuan's figure shifted, and he was already behind Scorpion.
"Not good!"
Seeing Li Chuan disappear, Scorpion knew something was wrong and quickly turned around to release the Ninjutsu on his current puppet body.
However, Li Chuan was clearly one step faster than him.
"Expelliarmus!"
A magic spell accurately hit Scorpion, and his body immediately split into pieces, only the core in his heart remained in place, which Li Chuan grabbed into his hand.
"Your weakness is this core; everything else is not important. Even if your body is shattered, you can freely enter any puppet to continue fighting, am I right!"
