Chapter 443 The High Temperature of Distorted Space

"Hmm... Ye... Cang... who is that?"

Little Leaf drifted along with the current, swaying back and forth, wondering who this Leaf Cang the uncle was, and why he asked the uncle to help him.

"You don't know Yekura?" Li Yao was somewhat surprised, and laughed, "Yakura is quite famous in the ninja world now. Although she's not quite on par with Sasori of the Red Sand or Orochimaru who has mastered Wood Release, she's still a renowned female ninja. She even has the title of 'Sun Goddess,' which shows how famous she is."

"Oh...ah..." Xiao Yezi hummed happily, then tightened her body and controlled her tone of voice, saying, "I've been waiting for Uncle in that desert. As for what's happening outside...um...I haven't inquired about it."

Yes!

Xiao Yezi had been waiting alone above the illusory ruins of Loulan for several years, just to wait for him to return. This affection moved Li Yao.

In this world where there is no sense of belonging, Xiao Yezi may be the only person who truly cares for him.

"But how does Uncle know Yekura?" Little Ye asked curiously.

If she remembered correctly, the uncle said that Yekura was a ninja from the Sand Village.

The uncle attacked Sunagakure back then, so they should be enemies. How come he seems to be dating Pakura from Sunagakure now?

"What... do you mind that Uncle has other women?" Li Yao asked with a smile.

"I don't mind." Xiao Yezi immediately shook her head, leaned down and whispered gently in Li Yao's ear, "No matter how many women Uncle wants to find, Xiao Yezi doesn't mind. In fact, if Uncle likes any, Xiao Yezi can help you find them."

"Little Leaf just hopes that Uncle won't abandon me."

Xiao Yezi raised her head and met Li Yao's gaze, her eyes filled with a pitiful look, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner.

Li Yao gently stroked Xiao Yezi's red hair and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I would never abandon you, no matter who else I leave behind. That's my promise."

Although the world still felt cold to Li Yao, Xiao Yezi's act of waiting for him alone in the desert still brought him a touch of warmth.

For this sliver of warmth, Li Yao would certainly not give up on Xiao Yezi.

As long as he is alive, Xiao Yezi will always be the person he trusts most.

"Thank you, sir."

Hearing Li Yao's promise that he wouldn't abandon her, Xiao Yezi completely let go of her fear of the unknown. At this moment, she no longer cared about Ye Cang; she only wanted to give her most passionate side to the uncle.

It's sizzling!

A flash of time-reset ninjutsu chakra swept across Li Yao's body, restoring his imposing and arrogant aura.

A woman who is completely devoted to something is terrifying.

Li Yao had to use time reset to restore his body in order to cope with the situation.

This shows just how crazy Xiao Yezi was at that moment.

While Li Yao and Xiao Yezi were shamelessly flirting, his cheap sister-in-law was dodging Orochimaru's Wood Release giant attacks while angrily cursing Li Yao's Wind Release clone as a bastard brother-in-law.

"Damn it...where did that bastard brother-in-law go?"

"You disappear at the crucial moment... Just you wait, if you make it back alive this time, I'll make sure my sister leaves you, you bastard."

"Hmph... Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I like you. If I deliberately seduce you into bed and I see it, I'll definitely leave you, you bastard!"

"Damn it... I'm the one who loves me the most, you bastard!!!"

Yekura may have been driven mad, or she may have truly sensed that she was doomed this time, and she began to speak her mind without any regard for the consequences.

"Just surrender obediently!"

Orochimaru had stopped controlling the Wood Release giant to attack, not wanting to accidentally kill Pakura. Instead, he controlled countless small wooden snakes to swarm towards Pakura and deplete her chakra.

Once Yekura's chakra is exhausted, this woman will have no chance to resist.

"Scorching Release!"

"What a beautiful bloodline limit... It'll be mine soon."

Orochimaru's face was filled with a greedy thirst for knowledge; this is the same expression Orochimaru has when the mad scientific community sees a wonderful experimental subject.

For Orochimaru, who was obsessed with all kinds of ninjutsu, the high temperature of the Scorch Release developed by Pakura was like a wonderful experimental subject, with endless mysteries waiting for Orochimaru to explore.

"hateful!"

Orochimaru's gaze sent shivers down Pakura's spine.

"No, we absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of this pervert."

Ye Cang made a decision in an instant: even if she died, she would not leave her body to this pervert. Who knew what perverted things he would do to her corpse?

"Die, Orochimaru!"

Seeing that her chakra was running low, Pakura decided to self-destruct. She suddenly gathered all the chakra in her body and used the Scorching Release technique to unleash high temperatures, but instead of releasing it, she used it on all the cells in her body.

The terrifyingly high temperature of the Scorching Release caused all the particles deep within Yekura's body cells to move at high speed.

In an instant, Yekura's body temperature reached a level that distorted the space itself. The countless wooden snakes that Orochimaru controlled to surround Yekura burst into flames the moment they approached within a hundred meters of her, and vaporized and disappeared when they reached a range of fifty meters.

Fifty meters around Yekura became an absolute no-go zone.

All matter within this area was annihilated.

Yecang floated in the air, the ground beneath his feet had long since vaporized into a large crater, the bottom of which was rolling lava that was constantly vaporizing.

However, what caused such a terrifying scene was simply the uncontrollable high temperature emanating from Yekura's body.

At this moment, the internal temperature of Yekura's body was tens of thousands of times higher than that of the outside.

At this moment, Ye Cang was like a human-shaped sun, his physical body had disappeared, and his internal organs had all turned into pure high-temperature heat sources.

hum!

An invisible wave emanated from Ye Cang's body. Wherever it went, the particles inside all matter collapsed due to the instantaneous high-speed movement. This manifested outwardly as all matter instantly turning into charred black ash, which scattered with the wind.

Even Orochimaru's Wood Release Giant was instantly turned into red charcoal by this shockwave.

If Orochimaru hadn't had the Wood Release: Giant Formation to block most of the wave attacks, his body would have been reduced to ashes the moment the waves hit him.

Despite this, Orochimaru was also burned all over his body and had to use the Orochimaru Substitution Technique, which consumed a lot of chakra, to crawl out a new body from the gaping mouth.

"What terrifying chakra!"

"What incredible heat from the Scorching Release technique!"

Orochimaru, who had just emerged from the mouth, was like a baby who had just come out of the womb, covered in sticky mucus. He didn't bother to clean himself off. Orochimaru sensed the terrifying chakra emanating from Pakura below and the intense heat of the Scorching Release that was about to erupt. He immediately turned around and used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

so horrible!

It hasn't erupted yet!

A single wave of diffusion can trigger high-speed particle motion and annihilation within all matter that comes into contact with it.

The Flying Thunder God technique clone of Li Yaoying was amazed by Yecang's development of the Scorching Release technique in terms of high temperature.

"Such a stunning sister-in-law can't die."

After glancing at the fleeing Orochimaru, Li Yaoying's clone shook his head. With a thought, he perfectly transformed into a Wind Release clone and instantly teleported in front of Ye Cang, whose situation was now irreversible.
