Chapter 128

Although the two in the arena had not moved, the battle had actually already begun.

If someone were to look closely at Elder Lynx’s eyes, they would find that his pair of dark green beast pupils were flickering with a dim yellow luster, making one feel their consciousness gradually blurring just by looking at them, as if an extreme drowsiness were spreading from within.

Genjutsu: Sinking Collapse Technique!

This was a unique genjutsu belonging to Elder Lynx, capable of applying a powerful hypnotic genjutsu to the opponent in conjunction with his unique pupils without them noticing.

And on the opposite side of Elder Lynx, Mizunuki Ryosuke was just looking at him with interest, showing no signs of increased drowsiness at all.

This shocked Elder Lynx.

In fact, this move of his was not without countermeasures.

The core of this genjutsu was Elder Lynx’s cat eyes, so as long as one averted their gaze in time, although they would still be affected by the genjutsu and become sluggish, they could effectively curb the drowsiness.

But right now, this was the first time Elder Lynx had encountered an enemy who looked directly at him without being affected at all.

Elder Lynx did not believe it, and regardless of everything, he increased his output. Inside his pair of cat eyes, wind and clouds were now converging, and a large amount of dim yellow luster was emanating from them.

On the opposite side, Mizunuki Ryosuke remained indifferent, his gaze toward Elder Lynx even carrying a bit of intense focus.

One must know that every time Elder Lynx used this move in the past, it had been invincible and had never failed.

Yet he never thought he would fail here today.

Just as Elder Lynx had a "seeing a ghost" expression, a wave of drowsiness suddenly surged from his heart.

Suddenly, Elder Lynx felt that the pupils of Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side seemed somewhat familiar.

He seemed to have seen such eyes somewhere before, especially that dim yellow luster in the pupils, as familiar as his own reflection in a mirror.

This familiar feeling and effect shocked Elder Lynx instantly.

Before he could think too much, he hurriedly averted his gaze, but the effect brought by the genjutsu had already affected his body.

Under the intense drowsiness, Elder Lynx’s body staggered slightly, and he almost fell to the ground.

Never expected that Elder Lynx would actually be backlashed by his own genjutsu!

At this very moment, in the entire ninja world,

the only ones who could surpass Mizunuki Ryosuke in the attainment of genjutsu were probably the Uchiha clan members who had already awakened the Mangekyo.

Elder Lynx using genjutsu against Ryosuke now was a bit like showing off one's skills before an expert.

Because within Ryosuke’s consciousness space, the "Spring of Extreme Yin" was currently sealed.

In a sense, the Spring of Extreme Yin was the source of all "Yin attributes," representing infinitely powerful spiritual energy.

Supported by this spiritual energy, 99.9% of the genjutsu in the ninja world were ineffective against Ryosuke.

And taking advantage of the time Elder Lynx was releasing the genjutsu, Ryosuke had been feeling and analyzing the principles of Elder Lynx’s genjutsu.

And finally, he used the Uchiha clan’s genjutsu—Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change—to complete a genjutsu rebound on the genjutsu released by Elder Lynx.

Taking advantage of the fact that Elder Lynx was still in the drowsiness of the genjutsu rebound, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s figure had already disappeared from where he stood.

Elder Lynx immediately felt something was wrong and wanted to react, but his drowsy body would not listen to him at all.

And at this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s figure had already appeared in front of Elder Lynx.

Ryosuke’s right foot kicked squarely onto Elder Lynx’s body.

"BOOM!!!"

The huge force sent Elder Lynx flying on the spot, crashing heavily into the outer wall of the arena.

Obviously, Ryosuke used superhuman strength for this kick.

Looking again, Elder Lynx of the Ninja Cat clan had completely turned into a "cat pancake" shape.

Most of the Ninja Cats did not know what had happened; they only saw the two on the field look at each other, and then Elder Lynx stood there like a fool and was kicked away by Ryosuke.

Now he had become a "cat pancake" embedded in the wall, unable to be pried out.

"Seconds again?"

At this moment, whether it was cats or humans watching this match, their mouths were completely unable to close.

No one expected that a battle they thought would be a clash of titans would end up like this.

On the other side, in the Hidden Mist Village.

All the Jonin were silent.

The astonishing combat efficiency displayed by Mizunuki Ryosuke left everyone not knowing what to say.

Being able to become a Jonin, they were naturally people with extraordinary insight.

Based on Elder Lynx’s previous actions, the Jonin knew that he had fallen into a disadvantage in the genjutsu confrontation with Ryosuke, and then was countered by the genjutsu, only to suffer this heavy blow...

The Jonin could only sigh "monster" at this moment.

Generally speaking, a ninja’s basic three abilities are Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu.

Very few ninjas can fully master all three abilities to become a perfect type of ninja.

And right now, just what Mizunuki Ryosuke had displayed was enough to shock all the Hidden Mist Jonin.

Gorgeous and terrifying Ice Release, incredibly powerful superhuman strength, and god-like, unpredictable genjutsu.

From no matter which angle, one could not see any weaknesses in Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"He is too strong."

A Jonin muttered to himself; in such a Mizunuki Ryosuke, he could not see how the other two candidates for Mizukage had any qualifications to compete with him in terms of strength.

Not to mention the Hidden Mist Jonin who were conquered by Ryosuke’s strength.

On the other side, in the Ninja Cat clan’s arena.

Ryosuke, who had kicked Elder Lynx away with superhuman strength, did not relax.

Because he clearly sensed that the touch of the kick he had just landed on Elder Lynx was wrong.

Suddenly, Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to feel something.

He stepped back to the right abruptly.

Afterward, on the spot where Ryosuke had just been standing, a cut mark suddenly appeared on the ground.

Immediately after, Ryosuke did not stop, but his figure kept flashing back and forth in the middle of the arena, occasionally performing some high-difficulty movements.

And what was strange was that there was no one around Ryosuke, as if he were dancing a waltz alone on the spot.

Only the sound of air being cut that came from time to time beside him, and the cutting marks that kept appearing on the ground, could explain that Ryosuke had not suddenly been possessed by the dance king Zhao Si.

At the same time, the smoke and dust that Elder Lynx had just kicked up in the distance dissipated completely.

Everyone then discovered that Elder Lynx, who had originally been embedded in the wall as a "cat pancake," had disappeared.

So they suddenly realized, combined with the situation of Ryosuke fighting wits and courage with "air," they knew that Ryosuke should have already fallen into a battle with Elder Lynx.

It was just that for some reason, Elder Lynx’s figure did not appear in everyone’s field of vision.
