Chapter 234: Clay Bomb

Earth Release: Flying Pebbles

Earth Release: Multiple Rock Iron Cannon

Still in midair, these rock ninjas who had just endured a round of attacks from Dong Shilang and company were not idle; each launched their own offensive.

At this point they were still thirty or forty meters away from Dong Shilang and company, employing a long-range attack ninjutsu characteristic of rock ninjas, aiming precisely at the flying beasts beneath Dong Shilang and company.

Unlike the rock ninjas who managed to stay airborne by their own ninjutsu, if Dong Shilang and company lost these flying beasts, each would have to think of another way.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Facing the rock ninjas' long-range attack, Dong Shilang and company simultaneously unleashed this ninjutsu that, in the original work, had never achieved any combat success.

Only saw the stones rushing toward Dong Shilang and company being swallowed by these orange-red fireballs seven or eight meters in diameter, after which each basically lost most of its momentum.

Before they had flown even a few meters, several kunai were embedded in those rocks; as the explosive tags on the kunai hissed, a continuous series of explosions shattered the rocks rushing toward Dong Shilang and company into pieces.

The flying debris not only troubled Dong Shilang and company, leaving them flustered, but even the opposing rock ninjas were all scrambling to dodge at this moment.

These rocks would not harm them just because they were transformed from their chakra.

At the moment Dong Shilang and the rock ninjas were jointly intercepting these flying stones, the two who had previously wrapped themselves and their companions in a massive stone ball approached Dong Shilang and company's position.

They drew near Dong Shilang and company's location.

Relying on their thick stone walls, they not only withstood Dong Shilang and company's earlier Fire Release ninjutsu, but also ignored these flying stones now.

Moreover, as they drew close to Dong Shilang and company, the surface of this massive stone ball began to sprout numerous white creatures.

"Damn! This isn't explosive clay, is it?"

Upon seeing these white little things, Dong Shilang's heart rang with alarm bells.

"How could he not pay attention to the explosive clay used by Deidara?"

According to his knowledge, the entire Rock Hidden Village's explosive unit had no ninja like Deidara; although they possessed explosive clay, these rock ninjas' explosive experts could not even reach little Deidara's level.

They couldn't even produce a flying C2 clay dragon, which is why he dared to carry out aerial bombardment.

"Asura! Use Thousand Birds Thousand Spears!"

Even though these explosive ninjas couldn't match little Deidara's level, Dong Shilang dared not underestimate them in the slightest, loudly reminding his companions to guard against these explosive objects.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Before these little things could leap from the massive stone ball, a row of slender, blue-glowing thousand spears pinned them to the stone ball.

Although this rock ninja's explosive expert couldn't reach little Deidara's level, he could still produce clay objects capable of moving through earth and stone and gliding a certain distance.

"Asura! Watch out for their explosive clay!"

Fortunately, I had stolen this Chidori ninjutsu and also copied the series of variations developed by the Second Pillar.

While rejoicing in my plagiarism, Dong Shilang controlled the flying beasts beneath their feet, directing them to fly away into the distance.

Attempting to shake off the entanglement of these rock ninjas.

In our aerial battle against the rock ninjas, we are truly at a disadvantage; the flying beasts depicted beneath us, somewhat similar to the Shadow Clone Jutsu, will turn into a blob of ink once they suffer any damage.

During combat, we still have to carefully protect our mounts, which is really hard to manage both ends.

Just as Dong Shilang was preparing to retreat with his companions, he seemed to sense something, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the massive stone ball drifting within twenty meters of them.

Although he sensed something, the Sharingan lacked the Byakugan's penetrative vision, so he did not notice the changes on the stone ball's rear.

Just then, the two rock ninjas who had wrapped themselves in stone balls appeared on the exterior of the stone ball.

With a gentle push, they shoved the stone ball toward Dong Shilang and company's direction, then, using the reaction force, the two flew toward their companions' position.

"Careless!"

Watching this stone ball rushing toward his few companions, Dong Shilang realized what was happening, but it was already too late.

He could only turn back and shout to his companions: "Be careful."

Then he unleashed his full power, creating a giant spear less than one meter long, and thrust it toward the massive stone ball.

However, all this was in vain.

"Ho!"

A loud shout came from afar.

Boom—!

Following that shout, the entire stone ball began to explode violently.

Accompanying this explosion were countless flying fragments of shattered stone, which, due to the violent blast, began to fill the sky.

Faced with this multitude of flying stones, Dong Shilang and company at this moment could be said to have no recourse; the opposing method was simply too crude and brutal.

Directly, those distant rock ninjas attracted their attention, luring them into unleashing ninjutsu, leaving them no spare capacity to attend to anything else, while covering the rock ninja who appeared ready to hard‑block their attack and approach.

Once they approached within a certain range, they directly detonated this massive stone ball, causing the flying shards to destroy the flying beasts beneath them.

"Damn! I never expected these rock ninjas, who look like blockheads, to have such a delicate side!"

In midair, having failed to stop the enemy's ninjutsu, Dong Shilang could only barely muster the strength to shield his whole body.

As for the flying beasts beneath them, there was no time to attend to them!

The flying beasts conjured by the Super Beast False Painting have wingspans of about seven or eight meters, enough to carry their few people.

Facing those flying fragments, he truly could do nothing; not only him, but also his several companions who are similarly paired up are now in dire straits.

Attempting to use ninjutsu to block these flying stones is already too late; they can only hurl the kunai and similar throwing weapons on their persons.

Hoping it might have some effect.

However, the weapons in their ninja pouches are few, and the incoming stone fragments are simply too many.

Even if these few people all activated the Sharingan, it would be of no use.

The flying beasts beneath them all turned into blobs of ink!
