Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 394 Manifestation of Willpower

"good!"

Might Guy's gaze lingered on Li Yao's, and he saw the killing intent in Li Yao's eyes. He knew that regardless of whether he used Night Guy or not, what followed would be Li Yao's final blow.

Given Li Yao's speed, Matt Kai has no chance of stalling any longer.

Since that's the case, let's deliver the final blow.

Might Guy slid his right leg forward, pushed off with his left leg, gripped the ground with both hands, and channeled all his chakra into his body, even igniting his willpower at that moment.

hum!

An invisible force spread outwards; it wasn't physical strength, but a special kind of power. Wherever it swept, the ground, the soil, and even space itself were slightly distorted.

"That is..." Li Yao's brows furrowed slightly as he carefully sensed it.

The cells in Mitchell's body are burning—real burning, not a metaphor.

At that moment, the cells in Might Guy's body turned into fuel, and chakra was the oxygen that ignited the fuel.

boom!

Might Guy's chakra surged and expanded again, the burning of his cells generating a massive amount of chakra.

The terrifying energy surge caused by the chakra crashed outwards like a tsunami, whipping up violent winds and billowing dust.

The Konoha ninjas in the distance could not see Guy and Lee Yo in the center; only the Hyuga clan members could see them clearly.

"What's wrong with Kai?" someone asked.

"He...he's burning!"

The Hyuga clan ninjas wore expressions of grief. In an instant, Guy's chakra surged to a terrifying level comparable to that of a tailed beast, something no normal human could possess, not even with the Eight Gates open.

He could tell that this was Kai's last blow.

"Kai...good luck!"

"come on!"

At this moment, those who knew the situation could do nothing but pray that Kai's final blow would defeat the enemy.

Boom!

The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a strong wind swept all around.

"Not only his flesh and blood cells, but his soul was also burning!"

Opposite Might Guy, Li Yao's expression was solemn. In his soul perception, Might Guy's soul also burned fiercely at that moment, and transformed into a terrifying power.

Under this terrifying power, Might Guy's terrifying chakra, which he had obtained by burning all the cells in his body, was brought under control.

Originally, burning cells would cause the body to be completely destroyed, and Guy would die instantly. The terrifying chakra obtained from burning all the cells in his body would also explode and dissipate on the spot like an inflating balloon without any control.

But at this moment, under the influence of the power transformed from the burning soul, Might Guy not only controlled this massive chakra, but his body, which had originally turned to ashes due to the burning of cells, also condensed into a physical form under the influence of this terrifying power, without dissipating.

"People say that willpower is steel, willpower is iron, but I never thought that Might Guy could actually materialize willpower into a terrifying force, replacing the physical body and the soul to control everything."

Li Yao was truly shocked this time. He could sense willpower and even remove it from the soul of others, thus erasing the enemy's willpower.

Even so, Li Yao still couldn't transform his will into a terrifying force that could influence reality.

His will remained merely will, an elusive thing even more intangible than the soul, perceptible yet intangible, let alone usable.

However, Matt Kay did it.

At this moment, Might Guy was actually dead; both his body and soul had been burned away and turned into pure energy.

The reason it is still "alive" is because a terrifying willpower is controlling its chakra and its body, which has already turned to ashes.

Strictly speaking, Li Yao was now facing a terrifying will, and was no longer a person in the full sense of the word.

"What is that...?"

Amidst the smoke and raging wind, a blood-red portrait appeared. In the distance, Xiao Li, with tears in his eyes, gazed in the direction of Teacher Kai. It was a move he had never heard of before.

At this moment, Might Guy underwent another change. The surging blood energy mixed with massive chakra, under the control of terrifying willpower, condensed into a huge, blood-red dragon head, which enveloped Might Guy.

Like a dragon head cast from crimson flames, its scales are clearly visible, its two tentacles float and twist, as lively as a willow snake, its eyes gleaming with flames, and everything is alive and vibrant.

This was a real, blood-red, fiery dragon head, a living dragon head, its eyes fixed on Li Yao, and an inexplicable force pressing down on him.

Squeak!

The cracking sound coming from inside Li Yao's body was not from broken bones, but from his body's instinctive fear sending him a distress signal.

Li Yao remained unmoved and continued to sense Might Guy's current state. He was very interested in the abilities that Might Guy's will manifested.

At this moment, the shockwave subsided, and Might Guy's chakra and physical strength were under control. He had completely mastered the immense power brought about by the burning of his life force.

The scene fell silent.

The fatal blow was about to come, and Li Yao was ready to fight.

However, just as Might Guy gripped the ground tightly, preparing to launch his final attack, the two of them suddenly frowned, sensing something.

Matt Kai stopped and did not immediately launch an attack on Li Yao.

Li Yao did not launch his final attack.

"Space itself has been distorted!"

After sensing it for a moment, Li Yao was startled and immediately became uneasy.

At this moment, the space around the blood-red dragon head of Mitekai was twisting like a wave.

Li Yao had seen spatial abilities before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one that could distort the surrounding space simply by using physical strength and chakra to solidify.

It can even affect the interlayer of space.

Logically speaking, that shouldn't be possible.

Li Yao frowned slightly, sensing the changes in the expressions of Tsunade and Jiraiya in the interlayered space. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he carefully sensed the space again.

It's willpower!

It's a terrifying will!

Li Yao's expression changed slightly; he sensed it this time.

A faint will permeates the interlayer of space; it is the will of Might Guy.

This guy's will actually broke through the spatial barrier and entered the interlayer space, sensing the presence of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

It's important to understand that physical strength and chakra alone, no matter how powerful, are insufficient to penetrate space. Otherwise, the center of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion would have already been able to penetrate space.

Might Guy's willpower, under the terrifying force of that burning soul, not only enhanced his physical strength and chakra beyond reason, but also allowed him to penetrate space.

terrible!

Ah!

Li Yao frowned. He thought that the will penetrating space was terrifying enough, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying.

Tread!

Two figures suddenly landed beside the massive crimson dragon head that was enveloping Might Guy.

"Ah...it's out!"

A flash of joy crossed Tsunade's eyes. Suddenly, a will descended upon her from within the spatial interlayer, drawing them closer to her.

Tsunade and Jiraiya instantly realized that it was Might Guy.

After approaching Might Guy, who was shrouded in the crimson dragon head, the two of them emerged from the interlayered space.

"Walk!"

Before he could think any further, Jiraiya quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade turned and ran towards Naruto without even glancing at Li Yao.

Jiraiya couldn't stay in one place; he couldn't leave. Even after leaving the interlayer, he couldn't get too far away from Li Yao.

Might Guy kept his eyes fixed on Li Yao the whole time, his attention on Li Yao, to prevent Li Yao from suddenly attacking Tsunade and Jiraiya.
