Chapter 246: Ten-Tails Jinchūriki (1934)

Although a long time had passed within the Tsukuyomi space, in reality only an instant had gone by.

The fresh blood overflowing from Li Ang's left eye slowly drifted through the air; watching Naruto still charging toward his position, he couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was dragging the Eight-Tails very quickly—at most one more minute and the extraction would be complete.

Thinking of this, a long spear glinting with cold light appeared in Li Ang's right hand.

Gungnir.

This unavoidable divine spear, copied by Old Tang, had brought Li Ang a great deal of benefit, though at this moment he wasn't certain whether it would work against Uzumaki Naruto.

A golden light rose in his eyes; Li Ang raised the spear in his hand and aimed it at the enormous fox.

The next instant, the unavoidable divine spear became a meteor and shot forth, pointing straight at Uzumaki Naruto within the fox's body.

In the blink of an eye, Gungnir had already arrived before the fox.

"Naruto!"

A somewhat startled voice rang out at Naruto's ear, and immediately two giant hands formed of chakra clamped tightly around the spear radiating a bone-chilling cold.

The sudden turn of events caused the fox to halt its steps.

At the same time, Odin also launched an attack, long spear in hand.

All of this made Uzumaki Naruto temporarily unable to attend to the Eight-Tails.

Seeing this, Li Ang felt slightly reassured.

He wasn't really expecting Gungnir to take the opponent down—as long as it could buy a little delay, that would be enough.

On the contrary, even if it could kill him, he wouldn't do it; after all, Uchiha Sasuke was still watching from the side.

And just as Uzumaki Naruto was resisting Gungnir, the Eight-Tails had already been dragged before the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The next instant, a tremendous suction force emanated from the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Li Ang immediately released the Jin Gang Sealing Chains and left the top of the Eight-Tails' head.

Watching the enormous Eight-Tails shrink smaller and smaller, then vanish entirely into the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

'Still two more to go.'

Just then, Changmen spoke up: "Long, let's retreat."

The Eight-Tails' jinchūriki had been captured, and the Five-Tails and Nine-Tails were also in their hands—there was no need to keep wasting time here.

Unfortunately, while they wanted to leave, someone did not want to let them go.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

A shout suddenly rang out across the battlefield.

It was Uzumaki Naruto.

The Gungnir copied by Old Tang was ultimately not the genuine article, and using it against a powerful foe like Uzumaki Naruto was still a bit inadequate.

Seeing Odin swatted away by a claw, Li Ang beckoned and recalled Gungnir, whose spear shaft now bore a few scars.

'Tch.'

Li Ang pursed his lips, then said: "Leader, let's seal all the tailed beasts into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path right here today."

"Good."

Changmen nodded.

After successfully capturing the Eight-Tails, the leader of the Akatsuki felt that his condition had improved considerably.

If earlier he had been half-dead, then now he had merely suffered a serious illness.

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Accompanied by a thunderous shout, a small pitch-black orb instantly flew up into the sky.

Under the terrifying gravitational force, the battlefield was torn into massive chunks of stone that flew skyward.

And Uzumaki Naruto, the target of the Chibaku Tensei, was also uncontrollably pulled up into the sky—the original storyline was playing out at this moment.

However, Uzumaki Naruto's current strength far surpassed that of the original.

Whoosh—!

Accompanied by the firing of a jet-black Tailed Beast Ball, the sphere gradually taking shape in the sky was instantly blown apart for the most part.

Unfortunately—

The current Changmen was no longer that utterly weakened cripple.

"Graaaah!"

Accompanied by the frenzied roar from his mouth, countless stones slammed into Uzumaki Naruto, pressing him toward the sphere in midair.

And while the two were clashing, Li Ang wasn't idle either.

He roughly tore open the clothes of the still-unconscious Five-Tails jinchūriki, then brushed aside the seal on his belly.

The next instant, a monster with a pure-white body and five tails appeared on the field.

The Five-Tails, King Mu.

After studying sealing arts with the Fourth Hokage for two days, Li Ang was still somewhat unfamiliar with how to seal others, but as for how to break seals—

Destruction is always far simpler than creation.

Not to mention he didn't need to worry about keeping the seal intact.

And the moment the Five-Tails appeared on the battlefield, it was bound by countless chains and sucked into the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Unlike the Eight-Tails, the spot where Li Ang released the Five-Tails was very close to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; combined with his use of the Jin Gang Sealing Chains for assistance, the Five-Tails hadn't even figured out what was happening before it was already drawn into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

At this moment, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had already opened eight eyes; only the largest eye in the middle remained tightly shut.

"Looks like it's my turn to take the field, Long Jun." At this moment, Orochimaru, standing to the side, said with a sinister smile.

Though he said so, his hands made not the slightest move.

Li Ang seemed to have long anticipated Orochimaru's attitude, and merely said casually: "There's a living Ōtsutsuki in this world. Have the Fourth release the last half of the Nine-Tails."

"!?" Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply, then he could not help licking his lips with his long tongue: "Long Jun really surprises me."

Saying so, he began to manipulate the Bofengshui Sect.

At this moment, the Fourth Head was full of helplessness, involuntarily beginning to unseal himself.
