Naruto: Starting from the time when the Six Paths of Pain was Kira Yoshikage

Chapter 109 Phantom Troupe Squad Annihilated

"Quick reaction, but...too slow." Hua Shidou's voice rang out again, this time from Machi's right.

She could even feel the hot breath from the other person's breath brushing against her neck as they spoke, but she couldn't even see the hem of their clothes.

Machi didn't turn around. She reached her left hand to her waist and five more magic needles shot out, piercing towards the source of the sound.

Still nothing, still nothing at all. The needle struck the rock wall behind him with a dull thud.

Machi's heart pounded wildly; she could clearly hear her blood rushing through her veins. She finally realized the crux of the problem... her opponent's strength was beyond her wildest imagination...

Unfortunately, it was too late. Even if she wanted to escape now, it was too late.

Faced with an absolute speed difference, her Nen ability, which she was so proud of, became a useless decoration.

The chakra brought a huge boost to his physical attributes, pushing Hua Shidoulang's physical strength to its peak.

"To deal with you, one hand will suffice..."

A chilling voice came from directly behind Machi, this time devoid of its previous mockery, replaced only by a bone-chilling killing intent. Machi whirled around, her pupils dilating to their maximum size in an instant. What she saw wasn't Hua Shi Dou Lang, but a giant wolf!

The wolf's mouth gaped open, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly. A gust of wind howled from its mouth, tearing through the air, rushing towards her face.

Wolf Fang Wind Fist One-Handed Version!

The force of the punch stung Machi's cheek, and she could almost smell the sweet, metallic scent of blood from the wolf's mouth. Instinctively, Machi raised her arms, gathering her psychic power in her hands in a final act of resistance; yet, before this overwhelming power, her strength was as insignificant as an ant's...

"Machi!!!"

Upon seeing his teammates under attack, Feitan immediately tried to rescue them.

"Where are you looking? Your opponent is me..."

Unfortunately, he was facing another Hua Shi Dou Lang.

Rescue? You'd better save yourself first.

Normally, these members of the troupe would just watch the show, let their teammates suffer, and then laugh at them mercilessly. But after witnessing Hua Shi Dou Lang's true strength, they have already decided to join forces.

If Machi is killed, even someone as arrogant as Feitan doesn't think he can escape unscathed.

"Get out of here!" Feitan roared, the paving stones beneath his feet cracking. His umbrella sword, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, pierced towards Hua Shidou Lang with a sharp whooshing sound.

The cold glint of the umbrella ribs flashed in the dim light; each thrust precisely locked onto the opponent's vital points, a flick, a parry.

Thrusts, slashes, cuts—the moves were so fast they were dazzling. Unfortunately, no matter how skillfully Feitan wielded his umbrella sword, he couldn't inflict the slightest damage on Hua Shidou, not even managing to touch the hem of his clothes...

Hua Shidoulang simply turned slightly to the side and easily dodged Feitan's sure-fire attack. His movements seemed casual, but they were precisely timed to coincide with the gaps in Feitan's attacks, as if he had anticipated all the attack trajectories.

Feitan's small eyes narrowed even more, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Speed ​​is Feitan's greatest pride, much like Burt from the Ginyu Force, who always considered himself the fastest in the universe. Feitan is equally proud of his speed.

However, at this moment, his speed was completely overwhelmed by Hua Shi Dou Lang.

A low, cold snort escaped Feitan's nostrils, a glint of malice flashing in his small eyes. The instant his attack failed again, he twisted his wrist sharply, pressing the mechanism on the inside of the umbrella sword. With a soft "click," the sharpest tip of the sword, like a bullet fired from a gun, shot towards Hua Shidoulang's face with a whistling sound.

The head is the most vulnerable part of the human body, and the face is the most vulnerable part of the head. Feitan was confident that even if his opponent didn't die, he would at least be seriously injured. However... the tip of the Umbrella Sword struck Hua Shidoulang's face solidly, but only produced a dull "thud," as if it had hit a hard steel plate.

"Your skin is tougher than I thought."

Feitan clicked his tongue, but his face remained expressionless. He stared intently at Hua Shidoulang, the malice in his small eyes almost overflowing.

Although he was already extremely shocked at this moment... the other party's body was even more outrageous than Uvogin's.

"You really enjoy playing these underhanded tricks, huh... shorty." Hua Shidou's voice was clearly mocking. Although this attack hadn't caused him any harm, being tricked like this was still very unpleasant.

Feitan paused upon hearing this, then roared in fury, "You're dead!!"

His height is Feitan's Achilles' heel.

But this is something that's innate; even if Feitan drinks milk every day, he still won't grow taller.

Hua Shidou's single sentence enraged Feitan, whose anger had reached its peak. Ignoring everything else, he slammed his umbrella sword to the ground, gesturing wildly with his hands in front of his chest, and muttering incomprehensible words.

The next moment, Feitan changed into a peculiar outfit, which seemed to be a characteristic of some ethnic group, or perhaps it looked like a protective suit.

Feitan's Nen ability, "The Unforgivable One," is more powerful the more severe the injuries he sustains in battle, the greater the power of the "Sunburn" Nen he releases, and vice versa.

"In short, it's like a counterattack in the Hunter x Hunter world."

The moment Feitan activated his Nen ability, information about him immediately came to mind.

Breaking Feitan's Nen ability is actually quite simple. Even Hua Shi Tou Lang immediately thought of three methods. The simplest is to attack and run, and then get burned by the sun. While this move is very powerful, its generation speed is extremely slow, and it's not known to have any tracking capabilities. So theoretically, as long as you're fast enough, you can just attack Feitan and run away, unless you're limited by geographical location.

Otherwise, someone who's too full would choose to take his ultimate attack head-on.

Therefore, Feitan's move has great limitations. It may seem impressive at first glance, but in a real fight, it is not as practical as Hisoka's freely expandable Ai.

However, speed has always been Feitan's advantage, and the probability of an ordinary person being able to dodge an attack using this method is almost zero.

The second one is also simple: just inflict the maximum damage the opponent's body can withstand. In short, just kill them outright so they can't use any moves.

"Is this your thought?"

Hua Shidou feigned surprise: "You think this one piece of armor can stop my attack?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Feitan chuckled, his face full of provocation. "I'll torture you to death in the cruelest way possible later."

Faced with Feitan's repeated self-destructive behavior, Huashi Toro was no longer willing to be polite to him.

"It seems you truly desire death..."

Feitan felt a blur before his eyes, and Hua Shidoulang, who was directly in front of him, disappeared. In his place, a voice sounded from behind him.

The speed was so fast that Feitan couldn't catch a glimpse of Hua Shi Tou Lang, but after hearing the sound behind him, Feitan showed no panic at all, and even revealed a strange smile.

He knew his plan had succeeded. He was waiting for Hua Shidoulang to attack him. As long as he wasn't killed in one blow, the greater the damage he suffered, the greater the power of the feedback from the scorching sun.

Anyone who dares to attack him will, as Feitan said, be doomed!

Hua Shi Tou Lang, who knew Feitan's information inside and out, could not possibly be unaware of what the other party was thinking. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking expression, and then he uttered a single, crystal-clear word: "Idiot..."

Feitan's Nen ability has a final weakness: if he uses an ability that the opponent cannot deflect.

for example...

The expected attack did not occur. Instead, Hua Shidou gently placed a palm on Feitan's head, a touch so gentle it was almost like a caress. Feitan was astonished, but Hua Shidou gave him no time to react. The moment he raised his hand, a blue, humanoid mass was pulled from Feitan's head.

The standard ability of the Human Path, one of the Six Paths of Pain, is that as long as he holds down the top of the head, he can extract the soul of the other person at will.

If it doesn't cause any physical damage and is purely a soul attack, then will Feitan's Nen ability still be effective?

Moreover, the moment the soul leaves the body signifies the end of Feitan's life, unless someone is willing to resurrect him using the Rinnegan.

Feitan, having lost his soul, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Fourth, using information asymmetry in battle is incredibly satisfying..." Hua Shidou clapped his hands lightly, his tone as casual as if he had just swatted a mosquito.

And that was indeed the case. The four Phantom Troupe members couldn't even fight back against him, and Hua Shi Tou Lang didn't even need to activate Nine-Tails Mode.

Whether in terms of physical attributes or anything else, Hua Shi Tou Lang is stronger than Fei Tan and the others. In addition, he has information on most of the members of the Phantom Troupe, and he can also use the power of other worlds... With such an absolute advantage, if he still can't easily defeat his opponent, he might as well find a block of tofu and kill himself.

Do you really think all the cheats were for nothing?

Hua Shi Tou Lang quickly defeated Fei Tan, and another Hua Shi Tou Lang carried Machi over. Then, like throwing away trash, he tossed the badly injured Machi, who was barely alive, onto the ground.

When the two Huashi Doulang stand side by side, they become one.

His gaze then fell upon Owl, the sole survivor of the Shadow Beasts.

"You...come here."

The sound wasn't loud, but it struck Xiao's heart like a heavy hammer. The latter trembled, daring not to show the slightest dissatisfaction, not even daring to breathe. He scrambled to Hua Shidoulang's side, his head bowed low, almost touching the ground, like a trembling lamb awaiting slaughter, utterly humble. He didn't even dare to look up and meet Hua Shidoulang's gaze, only catching a glimpse of the other's blood-stained black leather boots through his drooping hair.

After experiencing a series of setbacks, Xiao had a clear understanding of his own strength and was no longer as arrogant as he had been when he first appeared.

Hua Shidou's expression suddenly changed. His previous coldness faded, and he returned to his gentle and refined demeanor. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said softly, "I'm short of someone to run errands for me, you..."

"I do, I do..."

Before Hua Shidoulang could finish speaking, Xiao, as if grasping at a lifeline, hurriedly declared loudly, his voice trembling with excitement and fear. He was willing to do anything, even run errands or be a slave, just to survive.

Especially since he was accompanied by such a powerful being.

Only then did he dare to raise his head, his face plastered with a fawning smile, his eyes filled with a desperate desire to survive.

"Very good..." Hua Shidoulang nodded in satisfaction at Xiao's tactful response.

Since the other party is so sensible, he doesn't mind taking this subordinate on as a subordinate.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Shadow Beasts were slaughtered like chickens when facing the Phantom Troupe. In reality, their strength is already quite formidable among ordinary people, and they could even be considered the pinnacle of ordinary people. They are not beings that just anyone can mess with.

To use a character from the Naruto world as an analogy, he's like a bankrupt version of Zabuza. In the later Fourth Shinobi World War, Zabuza's strength was no longer enough for Team 7, but Zabuza himself was still a figure that ordinary ninjas had to look up to.

With Xiao's identity as a member of the Ten Elders' Yin Beast Squad, many things became much easier.

"Take this with you."

As Hua Shidoulang spoke, he tossed a blood-stained cloth bag to Xiao. The bag landed in Xiao's arms; it was heavy and still stained with wet blood, making Xiao's heart skip a beat. Inside was a human head, Franklin, also a member of the Phantom Troupe.

Then, pointing to Feitan on the ground, who had lost his soul and lay like a lump of rotten flesh, he said, "And these guys..."

Hua Shidou's voice was calm and even: "I need you to introduce me to those people..."

"Understood, sir." Xiao nodded vigorously, bowing even lower, his tone full of respect: "I'll arrange it right away. Rest assured, I will ensure you see the Tenth Elder!"

Now Xiao was 100% certain that he wouldn't die.

He has value... having value means he's useful...

The near annihilation of the Shadow Beasts was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the reputation of the gang. If they couldn't deal with the brigade, their territories would become unstable. At this time, bringing two live prisoners (Nobunaga and the dying Machi) and two dead prisoners (Franklin and Feitan) to their door was undoubtedly a great gift to the Ten Elders.

Of course, before that, go see Kurapika first. If he needs it, you can give the Ten Elders four dead prisoners as well.

In Hua Shi Dou Lang's mind, Kurapika's value was clearly higher than that of the Ten Elders.

Abandoned buildings on the outskirts of Yuksim City.

Kuroro, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, checked the time. It had been a full four hours since he last contacted Machi and the others. However, according to the Troupe's rules for carrying out missions, they had to contact each other at least once every two hours.

Kuroro slowly raised his head, looking into the distance, a very bad premonition rising in his heart for no reason.

If you haven't been in contact for a long time, it means something has happened to the other person... It's impossible that they forgot to call.

So he dialed the other team's number...

However, one, two, three rings passed, but no one answered... A full minute passed, and the call still didn't connect.

Kuroro's face instantly darkened.

It seems that something really happened to the others.
