Chapter 240: Stone Giant

Did you dodge it?

Looking at the distant, light and agile figure dodging the splashing stones, Huang Tu softly muttered to himself and didn't take it to heart.

Controlling the stone giant beneath him, he once again grabbed a stone ball from the ground and hurled it at the distant figure.

Given the opponent's speed, this will be his last long-range attack.

Actually, it's pretty much what Dong Shilang observed; he really is using the Weight-Shift Rock Technique, together with the stone giant beneath him, to hurl the stone balls at them.

Although the method is simple, combined with the potential energy carried by the falling stone ball, its power is not to be underestimated by anyone.

Not only now, but just now Huang Tu and his companions were the ones that this ninjutsu flung into the air, aimed at Dong Shilang and the others.

Just now, what he had manifested was only a single arm of the stone giant, but now the entire stone giant has been brought forth by him.

Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp

Seeing that figure rush toward him, already near the stone giant's vicinity, he waited for the opponent to enter his personal space.

Looking down on Dong Shilang from above, Huang Tu created a large swamp four to five meters deep, enveloping both the stone giant and Dong Shilang within it.

For the stone giant, a swamp only four to five meters deep only reaches its shins, having hardly any significant effect.

But for Dong Shilang, it's quite troublesome!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

Faced with this large-area swamp trap, Dong Shilang had no better option; he could only create a vast expanse of water to flood the entire swamp.

Then he stood on the water's surface.

But before he could even catch his breath, a huge arm, whistling with wind, swung toward Dong Shilang.

Swish!

Facing that arm sweeping with the force of a thousand troops, Dong Shilang could only helplessly leap into the air to dodge.

It wasn't that he wanted to dodge this way; rather, the stone arm lunging at him spanned the entire water surface.

If he didn't jump, there was no way to dodge it.

Earth Release: Rock Iron Cannon

Once he leapt into the air, the stone giant's massive mouth, capable of swallowing an entire horse and ox, opened wide; a large number of stone slabs, each as big as a tabletop, surged toward Dong Shilang.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique

Faced with Huang Tu's attack, Dong Shilang could only employ this ninjutsu: on one hand to defend against the incoming rocks, and on the other to strike at Huang Tu on the stone giant's shoulder.

Faced with Dong Shilang's high-level Fire Release attack, Huang Tu's controlled stone giant bent its arm to block in front of him; simultaneously, his figure shifted, leaving his previous stance and appearing on the other shoulder of the stone giant.

And Dong Shilang's Great Dragon Fire Technique, besides blocking the opponent's ninjutsu attack, also pitted and dented one of the stone giant's arms.

But that was all it did.

Taking advantage of Huang Tu's evasion, Dong Shilang also landed on the ground, and in his hand he waved a massive Thousand Birds Sharp Spear, ten or so meters long and half a meter wide, slashing at the stone giant's legs.

Sizzle!

A faint, not very distinct sound rang out.

Afterward, the stone giant, losing balance in its legs, slowly toppled to one side.

Don't even think about succeeding!

Seeing this, Huang Tu, appearing on the other shoulder of the stone giant, gritted his teeth and said.

At the same time, he formed seals with his hands, directing the underwater mud to surge toward the stone giant's feet, gradually forming two supporting legs.

Seeing Dong Shilang's response, he directly dispersed the massive Thousand Birds Sharp Spear in his hand and charged toward Huang Tu.

Since the opponent can repair this stone giant, rather than futilely attacking it, it's better to directly attack the Huang Tu controlling it.

Without Huang Tu's control, this huge stone giant is nothing more than a pile of ordinary earth and stone.

Whoosh!

Again dodging the other stone arm reaching for him, Dong Shilang arrived on the stone giant's arm, pushing off with his feet to try to rush toward Huang Tu's position.

But the moment Dong Shilang's feet landed on the stone giant's body, he felt an abnormality underfoot.

It's clay!

Feeling the drag on his feet, Dong Shilang looked down to see his feet wrapped in a layer of mud, now sunk several centimeters deep.

Moreover, the mud wrapping his feet also carried an astonishing stickiness, making each step difficult for him.

The reason Dong Shilang didn't notice the trap beneath his feet is largely because the entire stone giant is a manifestation of Huang Tu, its surface coated with a large amount of chakra.

Even if its surface were covered with another layer of clay, through his Sharingan's vision there would be nothing unusual, and he would detect no clue.

I'm really just too young and lacking in combat experience~

At this point Dong Shilang realized he had just fallen into the opponent's trap. The opponent had just repaired the stone giant's legs, precisely to make him understand that attacking the stone giant was futile.

Thus luring him to attack the opponent's true body.

This is also because, over these years, the opponents he's faced have been lacking in strength, at most elite Jonin level, lacking experience fighting such top-tier experts; otherwise he wouldn't have fallen so easily for the opponent's trap.

Earth Release: Ant Hell

Before Dong Shilang could react, Huang Tu changed the seal in his hand and unleashed another Earth Release ninjutsu.

Afterward, the stone giant's right hand began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into mud that swarmed toward Dong Shilang, as if trying to envelop him entirely.

Lightning Release: Thousand Birds Flow

Feeling the stickiness and suffocation from the clay covering his whole body, Dong Shilang could only hope that the Thousand Birds Flow ninjutsu, utilizing the property of lightning-release earth, would help him break the stickiness of the mud on his body, allowing him to break through the opponent's killing formation.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

As Dong Shilang executed his ninjutsu and his own senjutsu chakra erupted, a sharp birdcall rang out from the clay mud ball enveloping him.

Afterward, the soft yet astonishingly sticky clay on his body gradually lost its adhesiveness and dispersed.

【Er Zhuzi may not be able to show off, but the ninjutsu he developed is still not bad.】

Using the Thousand Birds Flow, an offensive-defensive ninjutsu, he successfully escaped the peril. Dong Shilang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

At the same time, I was glad I had copied Kakashi and Sasuke's ninjutsu.

Otherwise, I would have been in trouble this time.
