Chapter 256 Subduing Shukaku

"Is it that attack again?"

"Where did it come from? Why can't I sense any chakra fluctuations?"

Shukaku was confused. It was a chakra being and its celestial body was very sensitive to chakra, but it hadn't sensed the attack just now at all.

Boom!

As Shukaku landed, Li Yaofeng's clone noticed that Shukaku's hindquarters had turned into quicksand, which then re-aggregated onto Shukaku's body.

"It's that incantation!"

This time, Li Yaofeng's clone saw clearly that the main problem wasn't Shukaku's body turning into sand, but rather the incantations. As long as the incantations on Shukaku's body weren't destroyed, its body could continuously regenerate.

I just don't know if there's a limit to this recovery?

Thinking this, Li Yaofeng used his clone to raise his hand and unleash another slash, but this time it was a slash wave that attacked the larger wound.

Boom!

Shukaku had just regained its form when it was once again cut in half at the waist.

"It hurts, it hurts...!"

Compared to the previous silent and painless severing, this wave attack made Shukaku feel the pain of being cut open.

"Die! You wretched human brat!"

The intense pain caused Shukaku to lose its awe, and it swung its huge hand at Li Yaofeng's clone in mid-air.

Clang!

Another wave of energy swept across, severing Shukaku's arm, and the intense pain returned.

This time, Shukaku sensed the chakra fluctuations from Li Yao's Wind Release clone attack.

But it was no use. It was too big, and Li Yaofeng's clone's wave slashes were too fast. It couldn't escape or dodge.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

"I'm going to kill you... Ouch, ouch..."

"Ouch..."

As Li Yaofeng used his clones to unleash wave after wave of attacks, Shukaku had nowhere to escape and was repeatedly sliced ​​into pieces, howling in pain.

Li Yaofeng used his clones to constantly sense Shukaku's condition.

Occasionally, Li Yaofeng's clones would use a slashing attack to split Shukaku in two without the user's knowledge.

Li Yaofeng's clone's slashes have two attack modes.

The slash is a linear slash, like a thin sheet of paper.

A wave-cutting motion is like an arrowhead strike; the sharpest point in the middle can cut through molecules, and then the motion expands outwards.

The slashing speed is fast and silent, but the cuts it makes are also very fine, like a steel wire cutting through tofu, and the wound is not visible from the outside.

Because the wound was so small, Shukaku could not feel any pain when it was cut.

The wounds caused by the slashing wave are large and can split the object being slashed.

For example, the Tailed Beast Ball was sliced ​​open by the wave and flew in a fan shape to the left and right sides of Li Yao's Wind Release clone.

If it were cut open by a slash, and the cut was too thin, the Tailed Beast Ball would shoot straight at Li Yao's Wind Release clone, which would be as if it hadn't been cut at all.

This is the difference between a slash and a wave slash.

Li Yao's Wind Release clones relentlessly tormented Shukaku with these two different slashes.

"Sister, this..."

Ebizo arrived at the top of the stone wall with a black teapot, and was speechless as he looked at his sister and the others sitting in a row.

Meanwhile, the distant, wailing screams of Shukaku left him momentarily speechless, unsure whether Shukaku was a tailed beast or Li Yao's wind-escape clone was.

"Sit down. After Windrunner has had his fun, we'll go seal Shukaku."

Chiyo said calmly, as if she had already gotten used to this astonishing scene.

If it weren't for seeing her sister's slightly trembling legs, Ebizo would have truly believed the calmness on her face.

However, he was also shocked at this moment. He nodded numbly, sat down next to his sister, and watched the famous scene of cat training in the distance together.

Li Yao's Wind Release clone's attack is no different from training a cat, except that this cat is a famous tailed beast.

"Ah...stop...stop, don't fight anymore, I surrender!"

"Please seal me away!"

"I agree to let you be my jinchūriki!"

Shukaku couldn't take it anymore and surrendered, no longer wanting to be slaughtered to the point of death.

The human opposite him seemed to have an inexhaustible chakra. At first, Shukaku was thinking of exhausting the human's chakra before turning the tables.

As a result, even though the body had been slashed and shrunk considerably, the person's chakra didn't seem to have decreased at all, and it was completely convinced.

If this human were to become its jinchūriki, it would accept it.

Seeing that Shukaku had personally expressed his surrender, Li Yaofeng had no choice but to stop his attack, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Chiyo and the others who were watching from afar.

After all, they could have attacked Shukaku under the pretext of defeating him before, but now that Shukaku has surrendered, attacking him again would easily arouse suspicion.

Furthermore, the chakra stored in the Devouring Sealing Array within his body was almost depleted, so he could stop now.

However, looking at Shukaku's body, which had shrunk to a smaller size, Li Yao's Wind Release clone had gotten the answer he wanted.

Shukaku's recovery is not unlimited; each recovery consumes its soul power. As its soul power weakens, its size shrinks.

Just like how the Nine-Tails had half of its soul extracted by the Shiki-no-Kami seal, its size immediately shrank by more than half.

The core of a tailed beast's power lies in its soul.

Their souls are special; they seem to be able to draw some kind of power from the outside world to restore their chakra.

Even if you die, you will be reborn somewhere after a period of time.

Li Yao was very interested in the tailed beasts' ability to absorb chakra from the outside world and their regeneration capabilities.

Once Shukaku is sealed, we can arrange for Sasori to study it.

Li Yao's Wind Release clone continued to enhance the nature and strength of his Wind Release slash chakra.

Li Yao was not satisfied with the Wind Release Slash at the Bloodline Elimination level. He wanted to see if he could upgrade the Wind Release Slash to the Bloodline Net level, which could cut through atoms and even space.

If possible, the Wind Release slash at that time would definitely be more powerful than ordinary Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu.

Just like his Wind Release slash is even stronger than Dust Release, which can only break objects down to the molecular level, as it can cut through molecules.

In short, Li Yao will not stop increasing the chakra of a single attribute ninjutsu.

soon.

Chiyo and the others, seeing that Shukaku had calmed down, arrived with a black teapot.

The group carefully avoided Shukaku and arrived at Li Yaofeng's clone.

"Begin the sealing, Lady Chiyo," said Li Yaofeng's clone.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shukaku became dissatisfied and shouted, "I don't want to go into that black pot, I want to go into your body."

"I'd never let you in..." Li Yaofeng's clone twitched at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that Shouhe was still babbling, he immediately raised his hand. Before he could even make a move, Shouhe instantly shut up and dared not say anything more. He just looked at Li Yaofeng's clone with a wronged expression.

Seeing this, Chiyo and the others exchanged bewildered glances, gaining a renewed understanding of the power of Li Yaofeng's clone technique.

"It's over. There's basically no hope of surpassing this bastard in the future." Ye Cang pouted, his heart sinking. He glanced at his sister beside him, who was looking at him with a lovestruck expression, and completely lost his temper.

So strong!

Even Shukaku was defeated and subdued!

The others were also deeply impressed. The power of Li Yaofeng's clones made them admire him and feel proud.

This was the first time they had ever seen Shukaku so well-behaved; it was incredible.

"Come on in."

Chiyo placed the black teapot in front of Li Yao's Wind Release clone and said, "Inject chakra to activate the sealing technique on the black teapot, and unleash the sealing power to capture Shukaku."

It seems that Shouhe has completely submitted to Fengxing. Letting Fengxing seal it would be much easier than her doing it herself, so she, with her old bones, won't bother anymore.

The black teapot is about half a person's height and quite large.

Li Yao used his Wind Release clone to open the lid of the pot, placed his hand on the pot, injected chakra, activated the sealing technique inside, and then controlled a blue transparent arm to reach out and grab Shukaku.

Shukaku really didn't want to go into the dark room, but under the merciless gaze of Li Yaofeng's clone, it dared not resist and could only obediently be pulled into the black teapot and sealed away.
