Chapter 193

"Hahaha!"

Zhishui suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?!" Kuchiki Senya said, frowning.

"You think I've been scared stupid?" Zhishui looked up at Kuchiki Senya, his eyes full of contempt.

Kuchiki Senya's face changed drastically; he always felt something was off, but he could never quite pin it down!

"Are you playing tricks, or…!" Kuchiki Senya stared fixedly at Zhishui, his face brimming with vigilance.

"Kuchiki Senya, this is your foolishness!" Zhishui said coldly.

"No!!!"

Kuchiki Senya let out a great shout, then his entire form turned into a streak of light and vanished from Zhishui's line of sight; at the same time, the words he left behind reached Zhishui's ears.

"Lord of the Moon, don't even think about taking Tsukuyomi!!!"

Kuchiki Senya's speed was extremely fast; in almost the blink of an eye he had left Zhishui's sight.

"Trying to run?!" A sharp glint flashed in Zhishui's eyes, then his figure moved and he instantly gave chase.

Both Zhishui and Kuchiki Senya were as swift as lightning; in a short moment they had reached deep within the forest, getting farther and farther from the city.

"You can't escape!" Zhishui gave a cold laugh; black mist churned around his body, his speed surged, and in an instant he overtook Kuchiki Senya!

Kuchiki Senya turned around, looked at Zhishui, his face full of icy killing intent!

He had indeed been planning to flee just now, but upon seeing Zhishui's face, he changed his mind!

· ·· Seeking flowers·· ·

Although Kuchiki Senya was lacking in wisdom, he was very protective of his own appearance, because he knew that his ugly looks would surely draw discrimination from others — and that was the thing he hated most.

"Damn it!" Kuchiki Senya gritted his teeth and cursed, then began forming hand seals with both hands.

"Reincarnation · Moon Dance!"

Kuchiki Senya let out a low roar, and in an instant the scenery around Zhishui changed once again; from the forest he had been in, he was suddenly transported into a beautiful palace.

"The Palace of Reincarnation — this was once the holy ground of the Moon Kingdom. I don't know how many years ago, I occupied this place!" Kuchiki Senya's expression was calm as he said lightly: "Moon Dance, activate!"

As Kuchiki Senya's words fell, the Palace of Reincarnation immediately radiated countless dazzling red lights, and as this red light grew ever denser, the great doors of the Palace of Reincarnation gradually opened as well.

The next moment, beams of light surged out from the Palace of Reincarnation in every direction — brilliant, dazzling beyond compare.

And at the same time, a vast, overwhelming power spread out from the Palace of Reincarnation.

Beneath this incomparably tyrannical power, the surrounding air even began to twist slightly.

"What a nostalgic power!" Kuchiki Senya sighed softly; his body trembled slightly, and a look of intoxication surfaced on his face, as if he had fallen into reminiscence.

Kuchiki Senya stretched out both hands and closed his eyes, as if waiting for something.

Very quickly, before Kuchiki Senya, a sphere of light condensed, radiating a brilliant glow.

The orb of light hovered before Kuchiki Senya, and a terrifying wave of destruction emanated from within it, causing the surrounding space to begin violently twisting.

"This is…!"

"A Destruction Orb — could it be the core of Reincarnation Amaterasu?"

The surrounding watching crowd immediately cried out in shock.

The Destruction Orb is the foundation of Reincarnation Amaterasu; as long as this orb is destroyed, Reincarnation Amaterasu will naturally collapse as well.

But this orb was very strange — it was not fixed in place before Kuchiki Senya, but floated in the air, as if awaiting some kind of summons.

"Lord of the Moon, you can't be thinking of using the power of the Destruction Orb to recreate Reincarnation Amaterasu, can you? In your dreams!" Kuchiki Senya opened his eyes, then roared angrily in rebuke.

168. Reincarnation Mark, rise!

"You're wrong — I only need to take this Destruction Orb with me!"

"Mm?"

"Reincarnation Mark, rise!"

At Zhishui's low shout, an ancient rune suddenly appeared before him, radiating an extremely terrifying might.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

The next second, a tremendous roar abruptly came from beside Zhishui; immediately after, an incomparably huge pitch-black pillar of light suddenly appeared, then enveloped Kuchiki Senya.

"Damn it — get off me!"

Kuchiki Senya's face changed slightly; he hurriedly urged the Reincarnation Amaterasu in his hands, trying to break free of the bonds.

Boom!

The black wings on Kuchiki Senya's back trembled slightly, and a pitch-black vortex instantly formed.

But that pitch-black vortex simply could not shake the Destruction Pillar.

"You can't stop me!" Zhishui said coldly; his right hand suddenly exerted force, and the pitch-black pillar of light immediately contracted.

"Aaaargh!"

One scream after another rang out in all directions.

A trickle of fresh blood seeped from Kuchiki Senya's mouth and nose — clearly he was enduring tremendous agony!

But Kuchiki Senya still had not given up; he struggled desperately, frantically resisting the pressure of the Destruction Pillar, trying to escape the Destruction Pillar's confinement!

But after all he was a mortal; even a warrior at the third stage of the Immortal Path could not hold out for long under the pressure of the Destruction Pillar.

In only a few seconds, Kuchiki Senya was utterly defeated.

Boom!

Kuchiki Senya's body was smashed violently into the dirt by the pitch-black pillar of light, blasting a hundred-meter-wide deep crater into the earth.

"Lord of the Moon… you've won…" Kuchiki Senya's voice slowly drifted out from the dirt, utterly weak.

"Lord of the Moon!" Zhishui's body leapt, dropping down from midair, then looked down at the deep crater below, killing intent exploding in his eyes!

Although Kuchiki Senya had been defeated, he had not lost his fighting strength, so Zhishui also had to act with caution.

Whoosh!

Just then, Shirogane suddenly sensed a trace of danger, his soul seeming about to ignite, and he abruptly sidestepped.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Almost in an instant, a string of explosions rang out, and the spot where Shirogane had been standing was directly blasted into a pit over ten meters wide.

"What a fast attack speed!" Shirogane's pupils contracted, his gaze solemn as he looked toward a shadowy corner, where a black figure stood quietly.

"Has your strength already recovered to its peak?" Shirogane asked in a low voice.

"Almost. Although I still can't fully recover to my peak state, it's more than enough to crush any ninth-stage immortal dao cultivator. You're nothing but a mere sixth-stage warrior. If I'm not mistaken, you must have risen to that level through external means!" Kuchiki Senya looked at Shirogane, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, your guess is quite accurate, but my strength is far greater than you anticipated." Shirogane said calmly.

"Since that's the case, then go die!" Kuchiki Senya snorted coldly, his gaze icy enough to pierce bone, then he formed hand seals with both hands and struck a palm toward Shirogane!

"Break!" Shirogane shouted lowly, and the pitch-black pillar of light once again blossomed with brilliant radiance.

Kuchiki Senya's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated backward, but the pitch-black pillar of light was even faster—in the blink of an eye it caught up to Kuchiki Senya, then slammed viciously into his body.

Puchi—!

Kuchiki Senya suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire chest caving in, looking utterly wretched.

Kuchiki Senya raised his head to look at Shirogane, his gaze sinister. He slowly crawled out of the dirt, a look of ferocity and fury surfacing on his face!

"I refuse to believe I'll lose to you!" Kuchiki Senya roared, the muscles all over his body swelling as he transformed into a burly giant roughly two meters tall, then charged toward Shirogane.

Kuchiki Senya's speed was incomparably fast, instantly breaking through the shackles of space and appearing before Shirogane, throwing a punch toward him!

Kuchiki Senya's punch was extremely fast, nearly reaching the limit, and contained incomparably fierce power, pouring down like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.

"Break for me!" Shirogane shouted lowly, and the pitch-black pillar of light went straight up to meet it!

Crack!

Kuchiki Senya's fist was directly pierced through by the pitch-black pillar of light, which then slammed viciously into Kuchiki Senya's body.

Boom boom boom!

Kuchiki Senya's body was sent flying backward continuously, shattering countless buildings along the way, and finally disappearing into the distance.

"Is Kuchiki Senya dead?" Some ninja from the ninja village who saw this scene immediately widened their eyes.

Boom!

Suddenly, a figure shot up from the ruins...

Kuchiki Senya's hair was disheveled, his clothes completely shredded, his whole body covered in wounds, but the fierce light in his eyes grew ever denser: "I refuse to believe I'll be defeated! How could I possibly be defeated!"

Shirogane looked at Kuchiki Senya, frowning slightly.

This guy really is tenacious enough—under such circumstances he still hasn't died!
