Chapter 285: Instant Kill with One Strike, the Appearance of Two Divine Might (3k, 1400 Monthly Votes)

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Onoki was flying in the air when he heard the terrifying sounds behind him; he turned his head slightly, and his expression changed instantly.

Behind him, a large group of ninjas who had escaped from that terrifying golden light stretching over several kilometers were exploding into piles of minced meat one after another in mid-air.

That flesh and blood were like bursting berries, almost connecting into a single sheet in the air.

Yet he had completely failed to catch sight of the person launching the attacks.

The only things he could feel were the howling of the wild winds in the world and the increasingly terrifying screeching of the air that threatened to pierce his eardrums.

Something... was rampaging at a terrifying speed that he could not comprehend; those ninjas were not killed by any technique, but were simply smashed into fragments alive!

Pfft, pfft!

A figure suddenly attached itself to Onoki's back. Onoki was startled subconsciously and had already completed the hand seals, his body fully hardened, but an urgent voice came from behind him.

"Don't resist, it's Tao Baibai, I'll take you away first!"

The peculiar ninja, half-black and half-white, explained thus. His voice was uncharacteristically hurried. Black Zetsu was, of course, not acting out of kindness, but because he had discovered that in this current era where talent in the Ninja World was withering, it was impossible to afford the loss of these few remaining powerful ninjas if they were to fight against this suddenly appearing Tao Baibai and the golden monster.

These few surviving powerful ninjas were already resources that could not be lost.

Onoki had not originally trusted this 【Zetsu】 much, but the other party had not only helped them see through the 【Akatsuki】 organization's attack on the Royal Capital of the Land of Earth, but had also shown him the miserable state of Konoha.

It was hard to believe that the once most powerful Konoha Ninja Village had now become empty, and a large number of ninjas and residents had accepted the existence of the so-called 【Golden Order】, beginning this war without any warning.

Onoki dispelled his technique, and the two fell from the air to the ground instantly.

Seeing Tao Baibai appear, Black Zetsu understood that his goal had been achieved; now he only needed to wait quietly for Uchiha Obito to retrieve the other eye before coming to contend with these people.

Among these ninjas, the only ones with value in his eyes were Onoki, A, Killer Bee, and a few others.

As Black Zetsu grabbed Onoki's body and landed on the ground, a peculiar change in Chakra properties made their bodies seem to merge into the ground.

That smoothness was definitely not something an ordinary Earth Style ninja art could achieve. As Onoki's thoughts drifted, he felt the ground shake with a boom.

Boom!

A hand like steel slammed violently into the ground.

Black Zetsu's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to flee.

But a terrifying aura erupted with a boom at this moment.

The scarlet Conqueror's Haki exploded completely, centered on Bai Cangshu, who had slammed into the ground.

Black Zetsu and Onoki, bearing the brunt of it, felt their minds tremble instantly, as if they were in the center of a hurricane. That violent spirit made both of their minds sway, leaving them momentarily dazed.

In that very instant, Bai Cangshu's left hand stabbed out dozens of times toward Black Zetsu like a rainstorm.

Black Zetsu possessed near-top-tier escape and concealment methods, and as an offspring personally created by Kaguya Otsutsuki, purely in terms of bloodline, although he was inferior to the Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura brothers who inherited most of the Otsutsuki Clan's abilities, he was still superior to the Senju and Uchiha of today, whose bloodlines had long been too diluted.

Black Zetsu was skilled in spirit-intrusion-type abilities, and his mind recovered very quickly from the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, but by the time he recovered, a rainstorm-like attack was already before him.

He attempted to merge into Tao Baibai's body, but when that left hand struck his body, it actually gave him a feeling of terrifying, peerless pressure.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

In just an instant, Black Zetsu's black-and-white human body had already turned into a puddle of mud; the merged White Zetsu died instantly, while Black Zetsu himself fell toward the ground like black mud.

Bai Cangshu exhaled a breath of turbid air and tapped his right foot lightly, causing the ground to shake again. His left arm, which had been in a state of rainstorm-like stabbing, suddenly froze in mid-air. It only froze for an instant before the air emitted a terrifying whistling sound.

At this moment, Onoki, having just regained his senses, focused his pupils and saw the tall man above him, his left fist clenched tight, with a wisp of Lotus Fire appearing between the fingers of that clenched fist.

Whoosh!

Just like the rumors, there were no hand-sealing movements, and no aura of Chakra circulation could be felt; just by clenching his fist, terrifying flames erupted from his left fist in an instant.

Boom!

Like a meteor exploding at close range, Onoki watched as that man slammed a violent punch behind him; he could smell the pungent scent of sulfur in the air.

Bai Cangshu threw a punch, and the air in front of him, along with Black Zetsu who was falling from the air to the ground, exploded together.

Black Zetsu's expression was one of terror, and then he was swallowed by the terrifying explosion.

Rumble!

Bai Cangshu stood in a massive crater over ten meters in diameter and over three meters deep, looking at the black, mud-like substance in his hand with an expressionless face.

In his right hand, he was still clutching a pair of eyeballs, complete with flesh and nerves.

【Biological Colonization: Byakugan】

【Quality: Purple (Rare and Peerless)】

【Description: Eyeballs of the Hyuga Clan from Naruto and its Derivative World, possessing good transplant adaptation. These eyes have excellent purity and possess a small probability of evolutionary potential.】

【Effect: Insufficient intelligence, cannot be taken out of this world.】

【Milestone: Thousand Eyes (Rare) progress updated, current: 2/3】

This was something Bai Cangshu had grabbed casually when he smashed that Hyuga Clan ninja while in the fourth-stage Instant state; at this moment, it was thrown carelessly into the pit at Bai Cangshu's feet.

Bai Cangshu turned his head to look at Onoki, who had appeared several dozen meters away. This experienced ninja had used the convenient ability of the Body Replacement Technique at the last critical moment to dodge his strike.

And the space panel had not shown a notification that he had killed Black Zetsu, but Bai Cangshu could be certain that Black Zetsu's condition at this moment was definitely not good either.

"Tao Baibai, could it be that you are also a part of that so-called 【Golden Order】?"

Onoki floated in the air, but in reality, his elderly body under his clothes was tense. He was a ninja who had experienced the era of Uchiha Madara in his youth; he knew all too well what these monsters that exceeded limits were capable of.

Just from that split-second attack earlier, Onoki confirmed that the person before him was definitely not someone an ordinary Shadow Level ninja could handle.

Or rather, in his view, for a Shadow Level ninja to fight a guy like Tao Baibai, it had to be based on sufficiently clear intelligence and the acquisition of a tactical advantage; under a perfect battle plan, a Shadow Level ninja might be able to find a way to restrain the opponent.

The experienced Onoki realized almost as soon as he saw the intelligence evaluating Tao Baibai as a "Humanoid Tailed Beast" that perhaps 【Sealing Arts】 was the best way to deal with this person.

It was a pity that the prerequisite for this kind of combat was sufficient preparation; encountering such a Humanoid Tailed Beast in an encounter battle was a disaster for any ninja.

His graying temples were slightly damp; the immense pressure made Onoki's thinking clearer than ever before.

Bai Cangshu's gaze was sharp as he looked at Onoki, lifting his foot gently and taking a step forward.

Onoki instantly drifted backward for a distance, while simultaneously raising both hands before his chest, and the light of Dust Release lit up.

The smile on the corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth became increasingly apparent.

"Are you nervous, Onoki?"

"Golden Order~ Do you still have time to care about that kind of thing..."

His tone was mocking; Onoki had long since passed the age where he could be easily provoked, and while he flew toward the high sky, the Dust Release in his hands never dissipated.

Not until he had flown backward for several thousand meters and Tao Baibai on the ground had turned into a black dot did Onoki's mind relax slightly.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of air exploding rang out, and Onoki's mind tightened once again, only to see incandescent smoke and clouds explode below, and a fierce wind had already rushed toward his face.

Amidst the trembling of his pupils, he finally saw that blurred, distorted figure already appearing before him.

What God Speed this was!

Purple Killing Intent Wave wrapped around Bai Cangshu's fist; because the speed was too fast, Bai Cangshu's arm seemed to be stretched to a distance of several meters in Onoki's eyes.

With a shift of his thoughts, the light of Dust Release had already lit up.

Pfft!

Ring!

The beam of light from the Dust Release pierced through Bai Cangshu's shoulder in an instant, but Bai Cangshu's fist similarly smashed through the Hardening Ninja Arts on Onoki's body, and the sounds of bone shattering and flesh tearing rang out simultaneously.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu felt Onoki's body cave in under his fist, then soften, and only then did the Force carry that body—which could not be considered very heavy—flying out with a bang.

Four or five thin white Waves appeared in the air in succession, and Onoki's body was blasted backward from the air at a speed almost impossible for the naked eye to capture, smashing back into the crater on the ground.

Squish!

Flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground, and it was no longer possible to make out a human shape.

【You have killed the Third Tsuchikage·Onoki, obtained Dimension Point*2300】

【You have obtained C-rank Singularity*2】

【Your Reputation in the Akatsuki faction has increased, current: Respected (36/100)】

Bai Cangshu's legs seemed to tremble as he stepped on the air; after Moon Walk became increasingly proficient, he was already able to perform such an operation similar to hovering in the air.

As long as the Force was sufficient and the control was sufficiently meticulous, he thought that Moon Walk might eventually reach a posture where one could stand completely in the air by merely stepping quickly with small movements.

He looked indifferently at the dead Onoki in the air, waited quietly for a moment, and a purple Drop Card appeared in his hand.

The Superpower 【Indeterminate Equation of Luck】, which had previously been inconspicuous, was becoming increasingly valuable in Bai Cangshu's eyes, especially in a Derivative World like Hokage, where the gap between high-end combat power and low-end combat power was immense, and it was a world generally characterized by high attack and low defense.

He activated Instant to crash through the crowd, completing a large number of kills and raising his own Luck.

The only pity was that there were not enough Reincarnators in this world.

Just as Bai Cangshu's thoughts were drifting, he suddenly felt the air in front of him seem to blur.

He reacted instantly, stepping with both feet again.

Bang!

Bai Cangshu performed Moon Walk again, changing his position in mid-air.

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu, who had appeared several meters away, looked at the torn flesh on his waist and abdomen; as if he could not feel the pain, he reached out to touch it, then turned his head to look behind him.

Dressed in a Red Cloud Black Robe, having removed his mask, Uchiha Obito, whose eyes both revealed the Mangekyo Sharingan posture, was drifting down lightly from the air.

At this moment, he also happened to turn his head to look at himself; there was not a hint of joy on his face from having torn apart Tao Baibai's body with one strike, only sorrow, only loneliness.
