Chapter 115 The Combat Characteristics of Illusion

"Li Yao..."

Li Yao took the initiative to walk out of the cave. Sarutobi Tenjuro and his wife were already 700 meters away, a distance from which they could see each other.

Seeing the calm on Li Yao's face, Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife felt a chill in their hearts.

Li Yao indeed still had the ability to resist and even retaliate, and he was not afraid of their arrival.

The fact that he didn't leave the moment he sensed them, as he had done before, meant that Li Yao was now confident in dealing with... no, confident in killing them.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Tenjuro and his wife were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they became even more determined to seal or expel Li Yao from Kimura Yao's body here.

This also means that Li Yao's body can no longer use shadow clones as before.

"bump!"

When enemies meet, there's no need for words; just get to work. Li Yao also doesn't have the habit of pre-battle chatter. Two black iron chains behind him propelled him towards Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife.

Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife reacted quickly as well.

Sarutobi Tenjuro instantly jumped down with a huge sealing scroll that was half a person wide and more than five meters long, forming five hand seals while still in the air.

At the same time, Sarutobi Ayase instantly formed hand seals, and thirty small birds that had been drawn on the blank scroll beforehand flew off the paper and flew towards Li Yao.

"Crackling..."

Black lightning crackled around Li Yao as he attacked, and a bolt of black lightning struck Sarutobi Tenjuro, who was in mid-air preparing to activate the sealing scroll by forming hand seals.

The other one transformed into a ball of black lightning that enveloped the approaching flock of birds.

"Bang bang bang..."

A small bird in ink wash bursts open, splashing ink everywhere.

Li Yao frowned slightly as the black lightning attacking Sarutobi Tenju was blocked by the ink-wash bird.

At this moment, Sarutobi Tenjuro had already landed on the ground, and Li Yao realized that there must be a powerful sealing technique inside the opponent's huge sealing scroll.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Even the most powerful sealing technique needs someone to control it.

He had now entered within 200 meters of the two people.

Previously, his genjutsu chakra couldn't keep up with this range, but now that the Death Gate acupoint has been opened and his mental will has been upgraded to a higher level, it's no longer a problem.

"Diamond Sealing Barrier Technique - Open!!!"

"Illusion - Sensory Deprivation Technique!"

Li Yao and Sarutobi Tenjuro unleashed their respective ninjutsu almost simultaneously.

Sarutobi Tenjuro placed his hands on the massive sealing scroll, activating it. Instantly, golden light flashed, and a Vajra sealing barrier with a radius of one kilometer rose up around him.

But that's where it ends.

Before Sarutobi Tenjuro could react, Li Yao's genjutsu chakra instantly entered his head, and in an instant, Sarutobi Tenjuro's consciousness fell into darkness, completely losing contact with the outside world, including his physical body.

The perception deprivation technique did not disappoint Li Yao. Those who could not resist were instantly subdued. This is the characteristic of illusion combat: if you can withstand it, you live; if you can't, you die. There is no other outcome.

Rumble... At this moment, the massive Vajra Sealing Barrier had already risen, and Li Yao was powerless to stop it.

He couldn't possibly unleash the same level of chakra that he used to stop Mito Uzumaki from raising her barrier technique.

Fortunately, he subdued the person who was controlling the barrier spell.

In mid-air, Sarutobi Ayase, who was also affected by Li Yao's genjutsu chakra entering her head, was not spared either. Her consciousness entered the small dark room, and she lost all perception of the outside world.

Even the ink-wash bird disintegrated and turned into ink after losing consciousness.

With a clang, Li Yao shot out a black iron chain to bind Sarutobi Ayase, who was falling from the sky. At the same time, the black iron chain entered her body and sealed her chakra.

This woman cannot die now.

He also needs to absorb women's chakra.

With a few thuds, Li Yao arrived in front of Sarutobi Tenjuro, who was kneeling on the giant scroll. He also used black iron chains to enter Sarutobi Tenjuro's body and seal and imprison his chakra.

Then Li Yao kicked Sarutobi Tensuke aside, squatted down in front of the giant scroll, and condensed the Adamantine Sealing Chakra in his hands, sealing the scroll.

"hehe!"

Li Yao opened his eyes and smiled, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

As he expected, the ninjutsu sealed in the scroll was not selective in its target, and he could control the release of the Vajra Sealing Barrier Technique by sealing the scroll.

Now, with just a thought, the Vajra Sealing Barrier will automatically dissipate.

However, removing it would be too wasteful.

Such a vast amount of chakra is better consumed by him to relieve his immediate crisis than simply dissipate into the world.

With a thought, Li Yao used the Diamond Sealing Technique to absorb the chakra of the Diamond Sealing Barrier Technique that had already risen through the sealing scroll.

Perhaps it's because they share the same sealing chakra.

Li Yao's Vajra Lockdown devoured everything without encountering any resistance.

Mito Uzumaki probably didn't expect that Li Yao's Adamantine Sealing Technique was a complete copy of her sealing chakra. Without Mito Uzumaki's personal control, Li Yao could absorb it without any pressure.

Soon, the continuous flow of Vajra Sealing Chakra was absorbed into Li Yao's body.

While absorbing the energy, Li Yao controlled the absorbed Vajra Sealing Chakra to transform it into normal chakra, and then transformed the normal chakra into acupoint chakra to seal and bind the Death Gate acupoint space.

It has to be said that the amount of chakra possessed by Mito Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is terrifying. The chakra released from a single Adamantine Sealing Barrier Scroll that she casually created was almost equal to the chakra released by Li Yao when he opened all the chakra spaces except for the Gate of Death.

Such a massive amount of chakra is more than enough to convert chakra into acupoints and seal the Death Gate acupoint.

One minute later.

The Vajra Seal Chakra within the sealing scroll was completely absorbed by Li Yao.

At the same time, the space of the Death Gate acupoint in his body also stabilized, and the cellular potential deep within his body no longer leaked out.

However... that's all there is to it.

Li Yao sensed that the chakra in the Death Gate acupoint was still in an unrestrained state, like other acupoint spaces, it was leaky from all sides.

In short, although he used acupoint chakra to bind and seal the Death Gate acupoint, he managed to control the continued loss of life potential.

However, the Death Gate acupoint space is essentially the same as the previous acupoint spaces; it has been destroyed and no longer has the characteristic of storing chakra.

Li Yao now only has one dantian left to store chakra.

Without the Death Gate space, relying solely on his dantian, Li Yao's chakra reserves are now only about half of what they were before.

What can an average ANBU Jonin do with half the chakra they have?

It might only be enough to unleash a few Chidori attacks before it's gone.

"This time, I really need to play it safe."

Li Yao stood up, controlled the chakra in his storage space to condense a black stream of water to take away the scroll, and looked at Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife, making a decision in his heart.

Once he found a secluded place, he didn't come out. After finishing the food stored in his chakra storage space, he didn't leave and just looked for food in his secluded place.

He thought Snake Island was safe and no one could find him, so he came out to find food.

As a result... he didn't even know how he was found.

There are too many unknown ninjutsu in the ninja world, and their abilities are also incredibly diverse.

He decided to play it safe for now.

Especially now that his chakra reserves have been reduced by half, he needs even more time to grow.
