Chapter 222 Crystal Ice Prison
Chapter 222 Crystal Ice Prison
The biting wind, even overpowering the roar of the sea, arrived first despite being later.
clang--!!!!!!
A deafening, metallic clang, as if it were tearing eardrums, exploded out.
At the same moment, the tip of the Spiral Bone Spear and the attack of the Thunder Shadow slammed hard into the body of the Vajra Ruyi Staff.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Followed by.
An overwhelming and terrifying force erupted from the center of the staff.
Click... Click...
The first to bear the brunt is Kaguya Soranosuke's supposedly indestructible spear of the end.
Faced with that unparalleled force, the hard bone spear let out a mournful cry of being unable to bear the weight.
Fine cracks began to appear at the tip of the spear and spread rapidly upwards.
"No...it's impossible..."
"What kind of stick is this!"
Kaguya Soranosuke's manic smile froze completely, replaced by an incomprehensible look of horror.
He could clearly feel a terrifying force that was impossible to resist and incomprehensible, emanating from the opponent's ordinary stick.
That force is crushing his pride, crushing his bones, crushing everything he has.
"Bang!"
The spiral bone gun shattered instantly.
It was blasted into a sky full of pale bone powder.
But this is not over yet!
The terrifying force, undiminished, surged along the broken bone spear and fiercely penetrated Kaguya Sonosuke's right arm.
"Aaaaaahh ...
A heart-wrenching scream, so intense it reached the heavens, echoed through the sky.
Kaguya Soranosuke's entire right arm, from his palm to his shoulder, shattered inch by inch, and he flew backward, gushing blood like a kite with a broken string.
On the other side...
The situation of the Third Raikage, A, is also not optimistic.
The moment he touched the magic staff, he realized something was wrong.
That power...
It's too heavy!
His most prized and strongest spear was like an unshakeable mountain before that stick.
The raging lightning chakra was forcefully pushed back.
A sharp, piercing pain shot through his right hand.
"Hmm!"
The Third Raikage let out a muffled groan, his blood and qi surging within him.
His massive, mountain-like body was sent flying backward by this unparalleled force.
Their feet carved two furrows, each half a foot deep, into the hard ice.
He retreated dozens of meters before finally regaining his balance with the help of Yukinojo from behind.
"this...."
The ecstasy on the faces of all the ninjas in the combined fleet froze.
What did they see?
Their two strongest fighters are Kaguya, the most ferocious clan leader of Kirigakure, and the Third Raikage of Kumogakure...
The two launched a deadly combined attack from two directions!
Just like that... it was broken with a single blow?
Moreover, it was a single encounter that resulted in one death and one injury?
No, Kaguya Soranosuke isn't dead yet, but his miserable appearance is more terrifying than if he were dead.
"Gulp."
Someone swallowed hard.
The sound was exceptionally clear on the deathly silent battlefield.
In stark contrast is the Konoha fleet.
"Ooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
"Hokage-sama is mighty!!!"
A thunderous roar of cheers erupted, soaring into the sky as if to tear the clouds apart.
On the icy plains.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly retracted his sweeping Ruyi Jingu Bang, casually hoisting it onto his shoulder as if he had just shooed away two annoying flies.
The cold sea breeze whipped his Hokage robes, making them flutter loudly.
He glanced at Kaguya Soranosuke lying in a pool of blood in the distance, her body still convulsing, without giving her even the slightest bit of extra attention.
Then, he turned his gaze to the Third Raikage, who was several dozen meters away, looking solemn and slowly raising his head.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face remained expressionless.
He carried the stick and spoke calmly to the Thunder Shadow in the distance.
"Lord Raikage."
"Your proud strength..."
"Is that all there is to it?"
This statement is not heavy.
But every word was like a resounding slap across the Third Raikage's face.
What a shame!
The Third Raikage's bronze face instantly flushed red, and flames ignited in his eyes.
However, unexpectedly, he did not immediately rush forward in a rage.
The Third Raikage stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his burly body trembling slightly with rage.
The power within him, like a volcanic eruption, was building up.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence once again because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's casual yet extremely humiliating words.
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, carrying his Vajra Staff, seemed completely unconcerned about the Raikage's almost murderous reaction.
He merely twirled his staff lightly, preparing to take another step towards the Raikage.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"call--!"
A bone-chilling cold descended from the sky without warning.
The surrounding air temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point in that instant.
The ice field, which had already been cracked by Hiruzen Sarutobi's strike, was instantly frozen again, becoming even thicker than before.
"oh?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then slowly raised his head.
Above his head, the gray sky had been shrouded in a huge shadow.
No, that's not a shadow.
It was an enormous dome made of extreme ice.
The dome resembles an inverted bowl, partially enveloping Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The inner walls of the dome are not smooth planes, but are made up of thousands of ice mirrors of different sizes and angles.
Each ice mirror clearly reflected Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure, densely packed and endless.
"Ice Release Secret Technique: Thousand Crystal Ice Prison!"
Yukinojo's breathless and weak voice came from all directions, as if every mirror in the dome was speaking at the same time.
His face was as pale as paper, clearly indicating that performing this move was a huge burden for him.
After being rescued by the Raikage, he secretly accumulated chakra, waiting for an opportunity.
And now is the perfect time!
Yukinojo's figure slowly emerged in the largest ice mirror directly above the dome. He looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi and muttered to himself.
"We must stall him!"
He knew very well that, in the face of this monster, the idea of holding it off was probably just wishful thinking on his part.
But that's the only thing we can do.
This is for the Raikage, and also for the entire Combined Fleet, to secure even the slightest chance to catch their breath.
Yukinojo suddenly clasped his hands together, forming a complex hand seal.
"Buzz—!"
The entire ice crystal dome emitted a low hum.
