Chapter 187

The artificial moon hanging inside the moon emitted a faint white light. Around it floated scattered floating islands of various sizes. When the moonlight shone down, they looked like meteorites surrounding the moon, rotating around it in an orderly fashion following the moon's gravity.

When one of the larger floating islands drifted to the surface of the moon, two tall figures were cast with long shadows by the moonlight close at hand.

The moment the moonlight spilled onto their faces, it was as if a referee had blown the whistle for a duel. Two different flames suddenly rose from the two people, adding a unique color to the bright white moon.

"Boom!"

Two delicate fists, wrapped in huge force, collided. The stirred-up air waves rolled the scattered gravel around, making a crackling sound.

Subsequently, there was another bout of fist-to-flesh combat, until Otsutsuki Biluo flapped the butterfly wings behind her and shot out several cyan flames, at which point Otsutsuki Yueji withdrew her force.

The two, who retreated a step at the same time, both had a hint of solemnity on their charming faces. Especially Otsutsuki Biluo, the pain coming from her fists made her heart sink. She subconsciously scanned with her Byakugan, only to be surprised to find that Otsutsuki Yueji's body was intact, and she hadn't even consumed much chakra.

As expected, there is still a gap.

Having reached this point, she had no way to retreat. Recalling Uchiha Gin's innocent smile, Otsutsuki Biluo seemed to be injected with power again. She flapped the wings behind her and rushed toward Otsutsuki Yueji once more.

I'm sorry, Clan Leader, I have a reason I cannot retreat.

"Bang!!!"

Although the idea was beautiful, reality was very harsh. Otsutsuki Biluo, using the secret art as her source of power, gradually showed signs of decline after several exchanges.

The aura within her body became disordered, and her movements showed flaws. Otsutsuki Yueji seized the opportunity, hit her chest with one strike, and sent her flying backward for dozens of meters. She only stopped after piercing through several protruding rocks on the ground.

"Phew~ phew~ phew~"

Otsutsuki Biluo, panting heavily, knelt on one knee and wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth. The butterfly wings behind her were flickering; it looked like the time for the Butterfly Transformation Art was almost up.

Feeling the passing of the power within her body, Otsutsuki Biluo, unwilling to give up, erupted with a look of death-defying determination in her eyes.

"Come again!"

Frantically squeezing the power that had accumulated in her body for many years, Otsutsuki Biluo stood up tremblingly. Her body glowed with cyan light, and the butterfly wings behind her solidified again. Flapping wings that had clearly shrunk in size, she rushed to the cold-faced Otsutsuki Yueji once more. Concentrating the power within her body to a single point, she swung her fist down, aiming directly at the opponent's face.

"Did I hit?"

Feeling the sensation of impact from her all-out strike, a hint of joy flashed across Otsutsuki Biluo's face. With this punch, even the Clan Leader wouldn't feel good.

"Heh!"

Just as Otsutsuki Biluo thought she had succeeded, a crisp sneer made her hair stand on end. The contempt contained in this laugh could be heard even by a fool.

Alarm bells rang in her heart. Otsutsuki Biluo wanted to withdraw her hand, but was horrified to find that her fist was clamped by a powerful force. Looking closely, she realized that her punch just now hadn't hit Otsutsuki Yueji's charming face at all, but had been easily caught by a hand she had raised.

"Elder Biluo, is this the power you are so proud of?"

Otsutsuki Yueji, who had been very manic just a moment ago, had regained some clarity in her eyes at some point. In her white pupils, that touch of contempt deeply stung Otsutsuki Biluo's heart.

As the power in Otsutsuki Yueji's hand expanded, a strange chakra surged from her hand into Otsutsuki Biluo's body, instantly disrupting the flow of chakra in her body and sealing several important acupuncture points along the way.

"Whoosh~~~"

Otsutsuki Biluo was struck heavily, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. The butterfly wings behind her dissipated, and her tall body instantly went limp, being tossed aside by Otsutsuki Yueji like trash.

"Nothing more than this. But I still have to thank you for bringing me to a place so close to the moon, so I could regain my sanity."

With a few traces of pity in her eyes, Otsutsuki Yueji looked at Otsutsuki Biluo, who was bleeding in the pile of rubble, and said slowly,

"Elder Biluo, for the sake of a stranger from the ground, you turned your weapons against me, your Clan Leader. Is it worth it?"

Seeing that the opponent no longer had the power to resist, Otsutsuki Yueji, wearing a tank top, slowly walked up to Otsutsuki Biluo, squatted down, lifted the opponent's chin, and asked with confusion.

Although Otsutsuki Yueji had entered the violent mode just now, her consciousness had always been in a clear state. The so-called violence was just because the power residing in her body had gone out of control. As long as she approached the moon, that power would become docile again, and her consciousness would once again take the upper hand.

"Cough, cough, cough. There is no such thing as worth it or not; I just did what I wanted to do."

Facing the Clan Leader who had once made her tremble with fear, Otsutsuki Biluo's face was full of composure. At this moment, her heartfelt emotions overcame her past fears, allowing her to look Otsutsuki Yueji in the eyes for the first time and state her thoughts one by one.

"But he is a despicable thief!"

Facing the defection of a subordinate who had followed her for many years, Otsutsuki Yueji felt somewhat displeased and said with a slight frown,

"Mr. Gin is not that kind of person! There must be some misunderstanding between you!"

Hearing her "white moonlight" (idealized love) being branded with the name of a thief, Otsutsuki Biluo, who was indignant in her heart, forcibly propped herself up. A look of determination burst out in her eyes as she argued loudly,

Mr. Gin is such a gentle person, how could he be a thief? It must have been done by XXX!

"Crazy, crazy, I think you've gone crazy wanting a man!"

Facing Otsutsuki Biluo's stubborn resistance, Otsutsuki Yueji, feeling bored, shook her head. After an angry rebuke of "iron not becoming steel," she stood up and walked to the edge of the floating island, her white eyes searching the vast night sky for the direction of her castle.

"You just reflect here properly. After I finish teaching that man a lesson, I'll settle the score with you."

"No!"

Hearing this, Otsutsuki Biluo raised her head abruptly, her white pupils shaking violently. Her mind was filled with images of Uchiha Gin dying miserably. Looking at Otsutsuki Yueji's voluptuous back, an inexplicable power surged within her body.

"Do~ not~ hurt~ Mr. ~ Gin!"

As she spat out each word, Otsutsuki Biluo crawled up from the ground tremblingly. Her white eyes were bloodshot, and blood spurted from her body with every step she took.

Her voice made Otsutsuki Yueji, who was about to leave, stop in her tracks. She turned her head with a frown and said with a helpless expression,

"Elder Biluo, you should be very clear about the gap between us. Don't waste your energy anymore."

After saying that, she looked up and down at Otsutsuki Biluo, whose figure had changed drastically, and a hint of confusion entered her tone.

"You really look much more pleasing to the eye after losing weight. Huh? What's going on with your chest?"

Otsutsuki Biluo was stunned by these words, and her stumbling footsteps stopped. She subconsciously looked down and found that she couldn't see her feet. Carrying the heavy treasures on her chest, a raging fire ignited in her heart.

Mr. Gin, thank you for the secret weapon you left me.

"Clan Leader, although it is very abrupt, please let Mr. Gin go."

Otsutsuki Biluo, holding her chest, felt a glimmer of hope burst out in her eyes again. Facing the immovable Otsutsuki Yueji, she said slowly,

"You shouldn't have hit your head just now, right? Under these circumstances, why are you still talking nonsense?"

Looking at Otsutsuki Biluo, whose body was exhausted, Otsutsuki Yueji couldn't help but complain.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gin, this is my final transformation."

Hearing the opponent ignore her final request, Otsutsuki Biluo slowly raised her head, and cyan light appeared on her body once again.

"Again? You shouldn't have any spare energy left in your body, right?"

Otsutsuki Yueji looked at Otsutsuki Biluo, whose aura was climbing step by step, and the confusion in her eyes wouldn't go away. She wanted to see what other cards this person had.

"Butterfly! Transformation! Art!"

Otsutsuki Biluo, with her hands hanging down, slowly unfurled cyan butterfly wings behind her once again. Otsutsuki Yueji, whose confusion was growing, suddenly discovered that the opponent's astonishing peaks were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a few breaths, they went from Mount Everest to a small hill in the backyard. Correspondingly, the pair of cyan butterfly wings behind her actually expanded to a size that made her jaw drop.

"She actually used the Butterfly Transformation Art to this extent. What did she consume?"

Uchiha Gin, who was still looking out from the castle, couldn't help but mutter to himself in surprise as he saw the cyan butterfly wings blooming in front of the moon.

From his perspective, in front of the artificial moon inside the moon, a pair of huge butterfly wings bloomed. The flapping wings stirred up air waves that blew into every corner of the moon. The terrifying energy overflowed, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression to all living things inside the moon.

In the ocean, the giant sea crab, the king of the Otsutsuki clan's ecosystem, retracted its small eyes into its shell, with its huge pincers clamped over its head. Facing the pressure coming from the sky, it felt weak and could only tremble in the deep trench.

"What is that? What beautiful wings!"

The surviving members of the Otsutsuki clan were also awakened by this sudden power. They poked their heads out from the floating islands where they lived one after another, looking at the butterfly wings blooming in the sky, their eyes filled with shock.

"Why are they fighting again? And they even used the power of the Tenseigan. Isn't that the little guy?"

In the spiritual space, Otsutsuki Hamura, who was enjoying a massage, opened his eyes in confusion. He had just sensed the power of the Tenseigan being used by a descendant of the branch family, and the other power opposing it had a bit of the Otsutsuki flavor.

"How can the descendants of that stupid boy Hamura have so many flashy things?"

In the corner, a black figure looked at the cyan butterfly wings adorning the moon overhead and couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph! Flashy and impractical, not even half as good as mine~"
