Chapter 160: Almost Got It

"Are you okay?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin came to Lian Ye's side, concerned about his condition.

"I'm fine," Lian Ye shook his head, his expression solemn: "We previously underestimated Jin Jiao's strength."

We had thought that, knowing the information about Six Paths Ninja Tools, they could easily eliminate Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

Only after truly engaging did we realize Jin Jiao's might.

Before Jin Jiao's Tail Beast Transformation, they were already hard to handle; after the transformation, he becomes even more troublesome.

"You... all must die!" Jin Jiao was clearly done playing, preparing to seriously kill the three people before him.

As the words fell, his body suddenly swelled, scarlet chakra erupted from within like a volcano, six tails wildly thrashing behind him.

His skin burned away, revealing snarling muscle fibers; his eyes turned into beast-like vertical pupils, and his fangs were exposed.

This is Jin Jiao's true Tail Beast Transformation mode.

Earlier he had only used Nine-Tailed Chakra for defense and attack.

Lian Ye felt the terrifying aura emanating from Jin Jiao, his expression growing ever more solemn.

Jin Jiao is stronger than imagined; he has once again underestimated his opponent's strength!

No wonder Qianshou Feijian would die at the hands of the two...

With the power they unleash, combined with Six Paths Ninja Tools, a slight misstep could cause a disastrous reversal.

"Die!"

The ground cracked under the impact of Beast Tail chakra, shards of stone levitating.

"Swoosh—" a sound.

Jin Jiao transformed into a red shadow, dashing toward the three, and in his Tail Beast Transformation his speed far exceeded that of ordinary people!

Almost to the point where the naked eye could barely track him...

"Watch out!" Lian Ye's Three Tomoe spun wildly, barely catching Jin Jiao's movement.

But even so, his body still couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed.

This attack speed was comparable even to that of a hulking man donning Thunder Armor.

The boost to power in Tail Beast Transformation is truly terrifying!

"Boom—!"

Jin Jiao's sharp claws swept across; Lian Ye barely blocked with his sword, his whole body blasted away by the massive force, carving a trench dozens of meters long in the ground before he finally halted.

The tremendous force made the blade tremble, causing Lian Ye's arm to go numb, nearly losing his grip on the sword.

Tuan Cang's Wind Release Ninjutsu was launched, only to be scattered by one of Jin Jiao's tails, which then flung his entire body away.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin's kunai hadn't even approached when, in an instant, it was devoured by Nine-Tailed Chakra.

Before she could react, a red tail lunged at breakneck speed, instantly pulling her to the ground with immense force, spitting blood from her mouth.

"How do you fight this kind of monster...?!" Tuan Cang clutched his chest, crawling up from the ground, his face pale as he stared at Jin Jiao battling Lian Ye not far away.

…

"Hahaha!"

Jin Jiao cackled, his six tails dancing in unison, each bearing massive power.

He loves this exhilarating feeling of tormenting his opponent!

Relying on Sharingan prediction, Lian Ye barely managed to dodge.

"Faster, faster!"

Jin Jiao accelerated his attacks, making Lian Ye's evasion increasingly difficult.

"Clap—clap—clap!"

Lian Ye slipped, and the six tails struck him directly, the massive force pulling him to vomit blood.

Jin Jiao's attacks did not cease; instead, they became even faster.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Lian Ye's suffering, his laughter grew even more jubilant.

"Lian Ye!" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin rushed forward, trying to rescue Lian Ye.

Before the two could advance, two tails lunged at breakneck speed.

For a moment, they were forced to contend with the incoming tails, unable to break away to provide support.

The tails attacking Lian Ye reduced from six to four, greatly easing the pressure, and he began to fend off their assaults.

Seeing this, Jin Jiao frowned displeasedly and roared, "Scum, just die honestly!"

If not for the two interfering, I would have already tormented the guy before me to a fate worse than death!

Watching Lian Ye deftly evade his attacks, Jin Jiao instantly grew irritable.

Just as Jin Jiao was about to tear the guy before him apart, he suddenly met a pair of scarlet Sharingan.

"Sharingan: Illusion Bind!"

Jin Jiao's movements abruptly halted, the flow of Beast Tail chakra showing a hint of turbulence.

Lian Ye seized this fleeting chance, his tachi thrusting forward, the blade aiming straight for Jin Jiao's throat!

Yin Jiao, who was battling the three with Yuanfei Rizhan at a distance, caught the scene peripherally, hurriedly wielded a Banana Leaf Fan to push the three back, then flashed to block in front of Jin Jiao.

"Clang—!"

The tachi clashed with the Seven Star Sword, sparks scattering everywhere.

Lian Ye's blade was only three inches from Jin Jiao's throat, yet could not advance another fraction.

"Tsk... in the way!" Lian Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

Had Yin Jiao not intervened, Jin Jiao would have been sealed by his own blade.

What a pity for this hard‑won opportunity…

Damn guy, you almost got away with it.

Yin Jiao grinned wickedly, the Seven Star Sword infused with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, becoming extremely sharp.

He is ready to give this brat, who almost killed big brother, a good lesson!

They were able to force out big brother's Tail Beast Transformation, clearly showing they have some strength.

Brother, thank you.

Jin Jiao broke free from the Genjutsu, the Beast Tail Chakra on his body erupted again, and he glared at Lian Ye with an angry expression.

He almost—just now he almost got killed by that guy!

Fortunately, Yin Jiao appeared in time and blocked the attack for him.

"You're welcome… big brother." Yin Jiao replied softly, then his gaze fell on the three of them.

"The game is over, Konoha's minnows!" Yin Jiao licked the sharp blade, "Now it's our turn to hunt."

……

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Orb!"

At that moment, the combined Ninjutsu of the three Yuanfei Rizhan instantly surged toward Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

Fire borrowed the wind's momentum, its power greater, forcing the two to retreat and defend.

"Sorry, we're late," Ri Zhan's Diamond Ruyi Staff slammed heavily onto the ground, "Are you all right?"

They were restrained by the Ninjutsu released from the Banana Leaf Fan, and did not rush to aid…

Perhaps because Yin Jiao didn't use his full power, the Rizhan Squad was clearly in much better shape than the struggling Lian Ye Squad.

"Minnows are minnows; no matter how many come, they can't change reality!"

Yin Jiao sneered at the sight and swung the Banana Leaf Fan violently:

"Five Release: Great Catastrophe!"

Flame, lightning, storm, earth, and torrent—five elemental chakras—burst simultaneously, forming a devastating elemental storm.

Facing this terrifying power, everyone could only hurriedly move out of the attack range.

While escaping, Yuanfei Rizhan stared thoughtfully at the storm behind him.

So the power of combined Ninjutsu is that strong!

He happens to possess chakra of five elements, so later he can try using combined Ninjutsu to attack the enemy.

The Banana Leaf Fan used by Yin Jiao gave him the idea for creating a five‑element combined Ninjutsu.
