Chapter 822

Fortunately, just as this gorgeous ice-blue light was about to graze the two of them, Mizunuki Ryosuke's speed, which was already blurred, suddenly climbed another level, escaping the range covered by the ice-blue halo.

After escaping the coverage range of the Ice Style: Great Red Lotus Shuriken, Mizunuki Ryosuke released Kurotsuchi's delicate body and then took a deep breath.

"Hoo..."

After exhaling this breath, Mizunuki Ryosuke tried hard to calm his emotions.

If one looked closely, they would find that Mizunuki Ryosuke's body and limbs were currently trembling continuously at an extremely subtle amplitude.

On the surface, it looked like Mizunuki Ryosuke was just tired, but he knew clearly that his body had already suffered significant injuries.

First was the burden of releasing the Great Red Lotus Shuriken; this burden was far greater than Mizunuki Ryosuke had imagined.

Even with his extraordinary attainments in Yang Style jutsu as support, Mizunuki Ryosuke still couldn't withstand it; now, the blood vessels and muscle tissues within his arms had suffered massive wear and tear, and these damages were almost impossible to recover in a short time, requiring long-term rest.

Not only that, during the escape just now, Mizunuki Ryosuke had forcibly increased his speed several times, which also caused his body to experience a situation similar to his arms.

In short, he was seriously injured.

"It seems I must learn Sage Mode as soon as possible..."

Mizunuki Ryosuke once again put the goal of practicing Sage Mode on his agenda.

After this Ninja World War ended, he would go to Shikkotsu Forest as soon as possible, no matter what, to get his hands on Sage Mode.

Ignoring his own injuries, Mizunuki Ryosuke turned and looked behind him.

At this moment, everything here proved how worthwhile Mizunuki Ryosuke's desperate attempt to escape had been.

Blue, an endless expanse of blue.

Everything was covered by this deep, profound blue.

Whether it was raindrops, clouds, birds, or insects, everything was frozen in place, motionless.

"Whoosh~"

A gentle breeze blew by.

In an instant, everything shattered completely.

"Swoosh."

The sound of the breeze moving sand and gravel slowly rang out, and everything frozen by the blue turned into blue quicksand and disappeared from where it was.

Looking out, a heart-stopping scene occurred: within a range of nearly one square kilometer, everything had "faded."

As a breeze blew by, everything frozen by the terrifying low temperature turned into dust and went with the wind.

This highly poetic scene, however, made one feel a bit horrified.

The breeze receded, leaving behind only a bare, pitch-black wasteland.

It seemed as if someone had used an eraser to wipe away everything in this world.

Kurotsuchi couldn't help but shiver, looking at the "empty patch" of the world with fearful eyes, her two small hands tightly clenched together.

She glanced at Mizunuki Ryosuke beside her, her clear black-and-white eyes filled with awe.

The shock brought by the scene of a "Demon God manifesting in person" was clearly far greater than just hearing rumors.

"Is he really human?"

Kurotsuchi couldn't help but ask herself blankly in her heart.

But soon, she suddenly remembered something, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in her heart.

By the way, she had "escaped," hadn't she?

If she were caught back, would she...

Looking at the world in front of her that had been wiped away by an eraser, Kurotsuchi's body suddenly stiffened, and she shrank her neck guiltily.

Not paying attention to Kurotsuchi beside him, Mizunuki Ryosuke's pupils flickered with hesitant luster.

Not to mention Kurotsuchi, even he hadn't expected that combining Mahapadma with the Rasenshuriken would erupt with such terrifying power!

The situation at hand was actually entirely due to Mizunuki Ryosuke playing too hard.

With a "try it and see" mentality, Mizunuki Ryosuke had underestimated the burden brought by fusing the Rasenshuriken and Mahapadma while caught off guard.

Because of this, under the heavy burden, Mizunuki Ryosuke lost control of the jutsu, which led to the scene where he was forced to flee in a sorry state by his own move.

However, the results brought by this move were also shocking.

Mizunuki Ryosuke knew clearly that after he fused the two S-rank jutsus, the brand-new jutsu he obtained had completely transcended the level of "ninja" and reached the level of a Sage.

The "faded quicksand" had explained everything; the power of the Great Red Lotus Shuriken was not just about lethality.

Thinking of this, a hint of profundity appeared in his eyes again.

In Buddhist legends, the eighth of the eight cold hells is called Mahapadma.
