Chapter 66

At this moment, the number of casualties among the Mizunuki and Kaguya clansmen had both exceeded half, and almost everyone was wounded.

Overall, both sides were currently maintaining a stalemate, with the Mizunuki clan having some slight advantages, but these advantages could almost be ignored.

The tragic battle continued.

The Kaguya clansmen had gone completely mad, and the bloodline talent of the Shikotsumyaku had been pushed to the limit.

The manic destructive power continued to ravage the already miserable environment nearby.

Twisted bones constantly lashed out toward the Mizunuki clansmen on the opposite side.

On the other side, unlike the madness of the Kaguya, the Mizunuki clan had only complete calmness.

Calm defense, looking for opportunities, and then counterattacking.

Both sides, whether in fighting style or stance, formed two complete extremes.

And in the very center of the central battlefield, the most important battle was taking place.

It could even be said that the outcome of this battle concerned the situation of this entire battlefield.

The Great Elder of the Mizunuki clan and his son were pitted against the patriarch of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Ichiro.

It must be said, as the patriarch of the Kaguya clan.

Kaguya Ichiro had developed the Shikotsumyaku to the extreme.

Without the Eight Inner Gates, almost no one could compete with Kaguya Ichiro in close combat.

On the other side, the Mizunuki Great Elder and his son cooperated tacitly; as veteran Kage-level powerhouses, even though their bodies were declining, the Great Elder had richer experience than ordinary Kage-level powerhouses.

Whenever the Great Elder was inferior to Kaguya Ichiro in a contest of strength, Mizunuki Eiro could always attack Kaguya Ichiro's weak points, alleviating the pressure on the Great Elder.

Unlike the battle on the outskirts, in the core battle, Kaguya Ichiro had a clear advantage.

Unlike Kaguya Ichiro, who was in his prime and at the peak of his combat power.

His opponents were one Great Elder who was already old and frail, and another, Mizunuki Eiro, who had not yet fully grown.

So Kaguya Ichiro had a clear advantage in combat power.

Fighting to this point, although both sides were approaching their limits.

But Kaguya Ichiro was clearly more at ease than the Mizunuki father and son.

The Great Elder knew that if they didn't fight now, they likely wouldn't have another chance.

"Huff, huff..."

"Eiro, don't hold back!"

"Victory or defeat depends on this one move; use that move!"

The Great Elder, panting, looked at his son with a gratified look.

At such a critical moment, being able to have his son by his side could be considered a life without regrets for the Great Elder.

"Yes, Father!"

Mizunuki Eiro nodded firmly; he also understood in his heart.

This would be the final move in this battle, and as it stood, their chances of winning were not high.

Because Kaguya Ichiro still had trump cards he hadn't used.

The father and son looked at each other, each seeing the determination in the other's eyes.

The two formed seals at a nearly synchronized speed; the extremely fast hand speed made Kaguya Ichiro's expression gradually become solemn.

In an instant, hundreds of magic mirrors condensed from cold ice surrounded Kaguya Ichiro, encircling him tightly.

"Could it be Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals again?"

"This move is completely useless against me."

"Don't these two understand?"

Kaguya Ichiro frowned; in the previous battle, the two had used Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals to entangle him, but he had easily broken it.

The opponent should understand that such a technique couldn't threaten him at all.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Elder and Mizunuki Eiro had respectively dived into the ice mirrors; for a time, the figures of Mizunuki Eiro and the Great Elder appeared in all the ice mirrors respectively.

"SWOOSH!"

At the same time, Kaguya Ichiro did not sit still and wait for death; twisted bones shot out from his palms.

Just one sweep shattered most of the ice mirrors.

"Something's not right!"

Suddenly, Kaguya Ichiro realized something was wrong, because in the remaining ice mirrors, the father and son's seal-forming had not stopped.

This seemed to be an extremely complex technique, not the same as the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals just now!

A feeling of danger rose in Kaguya Ichiro's heart; he no longer intended to hesitate.

He took out his biggest trump card!

Kaguya Ichiro formed seals with both hands, and a large amount of bone overflowed from his shoulders, elbows, ankles, lumbar vertebrae, and other joints.

At a glance, Kaguya Ichiro looked like an alien life form.

Dance of the Seedling Fern!

At the same time, the secret technique the Great Elder and his son had been preparing was also completed.

The ice mirrors previously shattered by Kaguya Ichiro had already recovered.

Ice Release Secret Technique: Explosive Shattering Ice Crystals.

When the two formed the final seal, all the ice mirrors shattered and exploded simultaneously, and a large amount of cold air scattered along with the sharp fragments of the ice mirrors.

The violent cold air, accompanied by sharp ice fragments, crashed down, instantly turning the area covered by the ice mirrors into a polar cold zone that extinguished all life.

Facing the Ice Release Secret Technique: Explosive Shattering Ice Crystals launched by the Great Elder and his son, Kaguya Ichiro also brought out his final trump card.

Dance of the Seedling Fern!

Hundreds of twisted and winding bone spurs drilled out from Kaguya Ichiro's body, forming an airtight network around him.

The massive amount of bone movement was filled with extremely destructive power.

It collided with the Ice Release Secret Technique: Explosive Shattering Ice Crystals.

With the erosion of the ice crystals and extreme cold, Kaguya Ichiro's bones were constantly cracked or severed under the low temperature.

At the same time, the ice storm exploding on the outskirts was also constantly wearing them down.

Finally, Kaguya Ichiro, located at the very center of the Dance of the Seedling Fern, seemed to perceive something, and a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes.

"Opportunity!"

In an instant, Kaguya Ichiro, whose speed was already extremely fast, was now at his limit.

He suddenly rushed out from the Dance of the Seedling Fern, braving the extreme cold storm and rushing toward one direction!

Almost instantly, the Great Elder's surprised face appeared in front of Kaguya Ichiro.

"SQUELCH!"

The ferocious bone spur pierced through the Great Elder's body.

But who knew, the moment he was pierced, a smile suddenly appeared on the Great Elder's face.

Kaguya Ichiro also seemed to feel something at this moment; subconsciously preparing to form seals, he suddenly stopped the hand that was about to form seals.

It was in this short instant that the opportunity was fleeting.

"SQUELCH!"

The familiar sound rang out again, but this time it was on Kaguya Ichiro's body.

Kaguya Ichiro looked at the sharp ice thorn that had pierced through his chest, and a look of realization also flashed in his eyes.

Because only if he died here could the Kaguya clan welcome a new tomorrow.

Fighting to this point, everything was enough.

"Yongtai..."

"Everything that follows will be entrusted to you."

Not only was there no trace of pain on Kaguya Ichiro's face, but a smile appeared instead.

The one who pierced Kaguya Ichiro was none other than Mizunuki Eiro, who had been hiding on the side.

It turned out that the Great Elder had deliberately exposed a flaw, using himself as bait to lure Kaguya Ichiro into the trap.

There is a saying that the one who understands you best is often your enemy.

When the Great Elder saw the smile on Kaguya Ichiro's face, he also showed a look of surprise.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Similarly, Kaguya Ichiro also felt respect for this Great Elder who sacrificed himself to create an opportunity for those who came after.

With respect for each other, the two opponents closed their eyes together, ending their lives.
