Chapter 104 The Third Raikage is stunned

"It must have been sensed after it withstood the attack, right?"

Li Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he had some guesses in his mind.

In the instant I sensed being attacked by black lightning, the burly man on the back of the giant eagle behind me, whose chakra strength was terrifying, was also surrounded by lightning that resembled black lightning.

Li Yao guessed that there must be some kind of sensory connection between the black lightning on the other party and the black lightning that attacked him, which he was unaware of.

The opponent could seem to guess that he was inside the Black Iron Giant Eagle's belly by the extent of the black lightning's spread when it was blocked.

Then, by comparing the shadow clones, you can guess where his real body is.

The key point should be to prevent the black lightning from attacking.

"is that so?"

Li Yao muttered to himself, then shook his head; he wasn't actually sure about his guess.

But... sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Looking at the black lightning condensing on his body, Li Yao smiled slightly.

Black lightning is indeed a high-quality lightning chakra, and its nature transformation is different from that of ordinary lightning chakra.

The changes to Black Lightning completely abandon many of the characteristics of lightning, such as lightning bolts and thrusts, and focus all the enhancements on the basic properties of lightning, such as electric current and paralysis.

That's why, even just the electric current from the conduction and penetration of lightning made Li Yao feel as if he had been struck by a high-voltage current.

Without Wood Release chakra and Adamantine Sealing Barrier, he would have fallen after the first attack.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of Black Lightning.

This also explains the unique nature of the Black Lightning Chakra's transformation.

Li Yao endured two attacks before he could replicate and condense the same Black Lightning Chakra.

Peng!

Peng!

Now that his main body had been detected, Li Yao withdrew his shadow clones and collected his chakra. He then created two more shadow clones and two black iron giant eagles, which continued to run in three directions.

"Lightning Release - Black Spotted Lightning Serpent!"

The Third Raikage continued his previous actions, using black lightning to pinpoint Li Yao's location.

This time, however, the situation was beyond the Third Raikage's expectations.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

The Third Raikage stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. Damocles and the others were also shocked and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

At this moment, they were only a little over a kilometer away from Li Yao, which was very close. They could see with the naked eye how Li Yao responded to the Third Raikage's black lightning attack in the distance.

Li Yaoying's clone, atop the three giant black iron eagles, extended his right hand, black lightning condensing in his palm to block the Third Raikage's Black Spotted Lightning Serpent.

Looking at the black lightning that was exactly the same as the Third Raikage's black lightning, Damocles and the others exclaimed in their hearts that this was impossible.

"That guy... how is that possible?"

The Third Raikage's usually wise and calm face was now furrowed, his eyes filled with great doubt and disbelief.

He was certain that the Black Lightning Release ninjutsu he created had never been passed on to anyone else, and that no one else in the entire Hidden Cloud Village besides him had learned this powerful and unique lightning release ninjutsu.

But why?

Why did an experimental subject who escaped from Konoha learn the Black Lightning technique he created?

Could it be that someone in Konoha also knows this Lightning Release ninjutsu?

impossible?

If Konoha knew this ninjutsu, it's impossible that no one had used it.

But if Konoha doesn't know it, where did Li Yao learn it from?

You can't learn it on the spot, can you?

The Third Raikage shook his head, thinking to himself that this was the least likely possibility.

He has simplified the hand seals of the Black Lightning ninjutsu into a single seal, and the nature transformation of Black Lightning chakra is the ultimate lightning chakra nature transformation that he created by continuously refining and improving the lightning chakra patterns.

Even if someone doesn't know the Lightning Release Chakra Mode or the original hand seals of Black Lightning Ninjutsu, they absolutely cannot copy his Black Lightning Ninjutsu if they see him use it in person, even if they possess the Sharingan, which is said to be able to copy all ninjutsu.

"But...why?"

The Third Raikage still couldn't understand why Li Yao could use black lightning.

But none of that matters anymore. Looking at Li Yao on the back of the Black Iron Giant Eagle getting closer and closer, the Third Raikage stopped thinking about why Li Yao was Black Lightning. Anyway, once he caught Li Yao, he would know the reason for everything.

At this moment, Li Yao flew off in three directions like an inverted arrow.

The Third Raikage's summoning beast, the giant eagle, remained in the same direction and quickly approached Li Yao in the center.

"This is troublesome!"

Sensing the giant eagle rapidly closing in on him within a kilometer radius, Li Yao, who was flying slightly to the right, had a slight change in expression.

Although he had just used the copied Black Lightning Ninjutsu Chakra to block the opponent's Black Lightning, thus disrupting the opponent's senses and making it impossible for them to determine the location of his own body.

But the other eagle was flying too fast!

His shadow clone had tried its best to control the Black Iron Giant Eagle to flap its wings, but it was still not as fast as the opponent's summoned beast, the eagle.

That eagle possessed a massive amount of chakra, and it was wind-style chakra. More importantly, it could also unleash wind-style ninjutsu to aid in flight.

As it flew, a layer of wind flowed around the eagle.

This layer of wind not only helped it reduce the resistance from the airflow, but also increased its propulsion, allowing it to fly faster.

This summoning beast, an eagle, possesses chakra and wind-style flight aids, making it impossible for Li Yao's Black Iron Giant Eagle to outfly it.

Ultimately, the principle by which he controls the Black Iron Giant Eagle's flight is still the same as the principle of ordinary eagle flight, which follows the rules of real-world physics.

Summoning beasts like eagles, which are supernatural beings possessing wind-style chakra, do not need to follow the rules of real-world physics when they fly.

Therefore, no matter how many times Li Yao increased the number of flaps of the Black Iron Giant Eagle's wings, he could not fly over the Spirit Beast Eagle.

Now, Li Yao only hopes that the shadow clone can stall for as long as possible, allowing his main body to escape further away, so that he can get rid of the Third Raikage's pursuit.

That's right. Li Yao has now seen the Cloud Ninja headband on the Third Raikage's forehead through the shadow clone, and with the powerful Lightning Release chakra on his body, he guessed that the big man with a large amount of chakra behind him was the Third Raikage.

Upon learning that it was the Third Raikage, Li Yao instantly realized that he absolutely could not let the Third Raikage get close.

He is not afraid of ninjas like the Third Hokage, who are skilled in ninjutsu and magic. The Black Iron Chains and the Vajra Lock are highly resistant to ninjutsu.

However, against ninjas like the Third Raikage, who possess both terrifying pinpoint attack capabilities and incredible speed, the Black Iron Chains' ninjutsu resistance is rendered useless.

Ultimately, it depends on whether the Third Raikage's attack can break through his black iron chain defense.

Li Yao wasn't very confident about this.

But this wasn't what Li Yao feared most about the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage's speed was what Li Yao feared most.

Once Li Yao is entangled in close combat by the Third Raikage, he has no way to escape except by defending in place. Even if he tries to use Shadow Clones, the Shadow Clones that divide his chakra will be knocked back by the Third Raikage in an instant, and will not be able to separate the enemy at all.

In short, relying on his absolute speed, the Third Raikage alone could entangle Li Yao and prevent him from escaping.

Currently, the Third Raikage is not a single person.

In this situation, he absolutely cannot fall to the ground, otherwise... Li Yao will have no choice but to fight for his life.
