Chapter 49: Hell Sword

When Qimu Chao heard the Yuan Long in front of him shout his own name, the chakra of all the evil‑god cultists present was devoured by the monster before him, and he understood:

The monster's chakra had been mixed into the bodies of all the evil‑god cultists, and the body of the sacrificial Caiqian Xingzi also contained it.

With this monster's chakra, he could control those cultists, occupy their bodies, and read their memories.

Because of that, he knew Qimu Chao's name.

Since he controlled Yuan Long's body, Qimu Chao worried whether Shui Men's side had Caiqian Xingzi's body also occupied and controlled by this monster, and whether Shui Men would be unable to act against her because she was the entrusted target.

After all, harming a protected target is a ninja's greatest taboo.

But worrying about Shui Men here is useless now; Qimu Chao still greatly trusts Shui Men's strength, so after using Ice and Snow Magnetic Field to neutralize Yuan Long's blood attack, at the instant the surrounding blood‑water ice shards shattered, Qimu Chao blinked and instantly moved in front of Yuan Long, delivering a punch.

Magnetic Field Rotation, Ten Thousand Horsepower Power, Sea Tiger Explosive Fist!

The punch erupted, interlaced with extremely sophisticated magnetic field fluctuations, aiming to drive the force into the enemy's various acupoints and vital spots in the instant of impact; once this explosive power erupts, its lethality surges dramatically.

In this Naruto World, if one takes this punch, even a master of Body Technique would be gravely injured!

When Qimu Chao threw the punch, Yuan Long reached out to block; even though he learned Qimu Chao's name from Caiqian Xingzi's memories, he would not understand the subtleties of Magnetic Field Rotation, so directly using his hand to block the punch was certainly a mistake!

A colossal mistake!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—

The punch collided with the elbow, and Yuan Long's whole body was blasted away, slamming hard into the arena's thick wall, his body embedding into it; the next second, the explosive burst from his surrounding joints, vital points and acupoints shattered his robes, blood spurted, and he collapsed onto the ground from the wall.

When Yuan Long scrambled up from the ground, his body was already tattered and ragged, but the one now controlling his body was not himself, so even with missing arms or legs the opponent wouldn't even flinch.

Could this be the Immortal Body of the evil‑god cult?

Watching this, Qimu Chao couldn't help raising an eyebrow; with Yuan Long's normal strength, taking his punch would certainly leave him unable to continue fighting, but the opponent still managed to stand, so calling it an Immortal Body, I suppose, is acceptable?

The next second Qimu Chao realized he was wrong.

The blood crystals scattered on the ground suddenly steamed, the frozen blood melted and converged onto Yuan Long's body, patching his wounds.

After the repair was complete, he casually twisted his neck and limb joints; his neck emitted a crackling sound, the shredded cloth on his body was completely torn off and fell aside, and the metal mask worn on his face was taken off and crushed to pieces.

Now, standing before Qimu Chao, Yuan Long was entirely black; his skeletal structure was white, overlaying the black skin, and a black circle marked his forehead, resembling a Battle Seal, radiating extremely ominous chakra.

Hum… this does indeed count as an Immortal Body.

After Yuan Long finished repairing, Qimu Chao gave a slight nod and then launched a second attack.

So although the monster opposite's chakra could drive one insane and lower their intellect, it wasn't that it lacked a brain.

【5】 After enduring Qimu Chao's first punch, he was well aware that he could not clash head‑on with Qimu Chao again; with a casual reach, the sickle that had been blasted away was drawn back into his hand.

After enduring Qimu Chao's first punch, they were fully aware they could not clash head‑on with Qimu Chao again; with a casual reach, the scythe that had been knocked away was drawn back into their hand.

The hard clash of fist and sickle produced a ringing clang as if metal struck metal.

After exchanging several punches, Qimu Chao slightly frowned, released the Tachi hidden within the spirit‑communication scroll, and slashed—

Magnetic Field Rotation, Ten Thousand Horsepower Power—Hell Solar Eclipse Sword!

All these years of sword training have made Qimu Chao master sword control with ease, and he has already developed a portion of the Hell Series Magnetic Field Techniques related to swords.

The Eclipse, as a fundamental move of the Hell Sword, is basic, yet its unleashed power is certainly not inferior to the Qimu Family's hereditary Flagwood Sword Technique, and even surpasses it, comparable to the power of his father's self‑created White Fang Sword Technique!

From the moment the blade left its sheath until the tip met the sickle's edge, endless blade‑aura slashes streamed from the sword, not merely overflow of the technique's power but a genuine extension, continuously cleaving Yuan Long's body.

This move called Eclipse truly resembled a beam of light, enveloping Yuan Long from all sides, leaving him powerless to resist, and once again blasting him into the air, with blood and body fragments continuously shedding.

If one looks closely, the path of the Eclipse slash mirrors the earlier trajectory where Yuan Long pierced Qimu Chao's body with blood—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Since he can continuously repair his body, Qimu Chao kept stripping his flesh away to see how many times he could still mend.

He pursued step by step, even as Yuan Long was blasted away, staying right on his heels.

After the Eclipse was exhausted, the Tachi in Qimu Chao's hand suddenly shifted, turning from vertical to horizontal, and then—

Magnetic Field Rotation, Ten Thousand Horsepower Power—Hell Waning Moon Sword!

Although there is only a single Tachi, the horizontal slash it unleashes feels like multiple blades, akin to a Vacuum Sword Blade, yet it is merely an auxiliary power of the sword.

The Eclipse sword, like sweeping sunlight, can attack the enemy from all angles with no blind spots, and the Waning Moon sword directly targets the opponent's defensive weak points, capable of slicing even the strongest shield to pieces!

Half his body was as if torn by thousands of knives!

That's why the horsepower is insufficient; if Qimu Chao's horsepower reached fifty thousand horses, this sword would slash away half of the entire Underground City.

Yuan Long's sickle, despite all its effort to block Qimu Chao's sword attack, was futile, because it cannot be seen with the naked eye; Magnetic Field Power is not chakra, so chakra perception cannot block each strike!

Even though half his body's flesh was stripped away, Yuan Long remained alive; with the blood of the thousands present supplementing him, for a while he still possessed the Immortal Body.

Zeh…

Seeing this, Qimu Chao squinted his eyes.

The Magnetic Field Power in his hand also began to shift silently.
