Crossover: The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, starting with cultivation with the Six Flowers Im

Below lies a vast expanse of battlefield ruins, where two figures are locked in fierce combat amidst the crumbling walls.

Each collision was accompanied by the spread of energy waves, causing dust to fly and vegetation to sway.

Nangong Yehua's gaze instantly locked onto one of the familiar figures—Terumi Mei.

Her figure was graceful and her movements were agile. Her water-style ninjutsu was as flexible and varied as flowing water, demonstrating her extraordinary strength as a Mizukage-level powerhouse.

However, the enemy confronting Mei Terumi appeared exceptionally cunning and powerful, and he was clad in a black cloak.

His face was hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light. This person was ruthless and deadly, clearly no ordinary individual.

Despite Mei Terumi's best efforts, the long battle had left her somewhat exhausted. A moment of carelessness allowed the enemy to seize an opening and prepare to deliver a fatal blow.

Just at this critical moment, the sky suddenly changed dramatically, and a dazzling light streaked across the sky.

He headed straight for the battlefield. Everyone looked up and saw Nangong Yehua's figure flash by.

He arrived at the center of the battlefield like a meteor. Before he could even steady himself, he had already grabbed the mysterious enemy by the neck with one hand. The speed and strength of his movements were astonishing.

The mysterious enemy, whose throat was being gripped by Nangong Yehua, had a look of fear and resentment in his eyes. He struggled desperately, but found that he could not budge this suddenly appearing powerhouse at all.

Nangong Yehua's eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through all illusions. He exerted a little force, and the man's face instantly turned red, and his breathing became rapid.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, Miki exclaimed in surprise. Although she knew Nangong Yehua, the sudden turn of events still shocked her.

She worried that Nangong Yehua might kill innocent people by mistake, since misunderstandings and conflicts often erupt in the ninja world.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua turned his gaze slightly to Terumi Mei, a hint of tenderness and trust flashing in his deep eyes.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then slowly released his grip on the mysterious enemy.

Once freed, the man immediately stepped back several paces, watching Nangong Yehua warily, clearly unwilling to get close again.

"Mei Terumi, are you alright?"

Nangong Yehua asked with concern, while releasing gentle chakra to dispel the fatigue and pain around Terumi Mei's body.

Mei Terumi felt this warm power, and a warm current surged in her heart. She shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Nangong Yehua, what are you doing here?"

Terumi Mei asked with some doubt. She knew that Nangong Yehua had been in seclusion for many years, and his sudden appearance must have a significant reason.

Nangong Yehua smiled slightly and explained:

"I sensed strong energy fluctuations here and was worried that something might happen, so I came to check it out. I never expected to run into you."

As he spoke, his gaze returned to the mysterious enemy, his tone revealing an undeniable authority:

"Speak! Who are you? Why are you fighting Mei Terumi here? What is your purpose?"

Chapter 540 The Second Tsuchikage

As Nangong Yehua's calm and powerful voice echoed across the battlefield, inquiring about the mysterious man's identity and purpose, a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

After a moment of silence, the mysterious man suddenly made a move. He slowly raised his hand and gently lifted the black cloak covering his head, as if he were unveiling a piece of history that had been sealed away.

As the cloak slipped down, a familiar yet unfamiliar face was revealed to everyone.

Mei Terumi's pupils contracted sharply, a look of disbelief and terror flashing in her eyes. She involuntarily took a step back.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain. Then, a sharp scream shattered the silence of the battlefield:

"He...he is Mu! The Second Tsuchikage!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua frowned and scrutinized the mysterious man who called himself "Wu" with piercing eyes.

He pondered to himself why this powerful figure, who had left a deep mark on the history of the ninja world, would be resurrected at this moment.

And what if he clashes with Mei Terumi? He quickly adjusts his mindset, preparing to deal with any possible changes.

Wu, this former Second Tsuchikage, though his face has been weathered by time, still exudes the majesty and domineering aura of a strongman.

His face was sharply defined, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see into people's hearts.

His silver hair was casually draped over his shoulders, adding to his air of untamed freedom and ease. A faint smile played at the corners of his lips, and his voice was deep and magnetic:

"I didn't expect anyone to still remember me. Not bad, not bad."

These few simple words struck Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming like a heavy hammer blow.

They knew that the appearance of Wu was no accident, and that there must be a more complex conspiracy and plan behind it.

Nangong Yehua's gaze grew even more solemn. He slowly took a few steps forward and stood facing Wu.

His voice was deep and powerful, conveying an undeniable authority:

"No, why have you been resurrected here? What is your purpose? Is it to reignite the war in the ninja world?"

Wu chuckled softly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:

"War? That's nothing but the lament of the weak. I've returned to pursue a higher realm."

"It's also to find a divine artifact that can change the fate of the ninja world."

"As for Mei Terumi, she was just a minor incident on my journey. If she hadn't insisted on stopping me, I wouldn't have fought her."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi was enraged. She stepped forward and glared at Wu.

"You keep talking about pursuing a higher realm, yet you disregard the lives of others and act recklessly! A strong person like you doesn't deserve respect at all!"

Wu smiled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes:

"Respect? That's nothing but a false halo that the weak bestow upon the strong. Before absolute power, everything will turn to nothingness."

Seeing this, Nangong Yehua knew that continuing the argument would be pointless, and he had to find a solution.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly began to speak:

"No, whatever your purpose may be, I will not allow you to harm the peace of the ninja world."

“If you’re willing, we can sit down and talk to find a solution that we can both accept.”

Wu paused for a moment, seemingly considering Nangong Yehua's suggestion.

Finally, he nodded in agreement.

And so, on this ruin...

Chapter 541 Negotiations Amidst the Ruins

On the ruins, night had fallen, and stars dotted the dark sky, adding to the desolation and mystery of this battlefield.

Nangong Yehua, Terumi Mei, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu sat on the ground, surrounded by broken walls and ruins. The firelight flickered among them, reflecting their complex expressions.

Nangong Yehua stood tall and straight, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. He stared directly at Wu, his voice steady and powerful:

"No, I respect your power and past glory, but at this moment, you must clearly tell us what your purpose is in returning to the ninja world?"

"What do you need to give up your threat to peace?"

His silver hair gleamed faintly in the firelight. He smiled gently, but the smile was devoid of warmth, like a cold wind in winter.

“Nangong Yehua, you asked directly, so I’ll answer directly too. What I need is slaughter.”

"This is not out of personal desire, but because I believe that only through a thorough purge can true order be established."

The moment these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, and the tension instantly reached its peak.

Nangong Yehua frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes. He almost lost control and wanted to immediately use ninjutsu to subdue Wu.

However, at that very moment, Mei Terumi gently placed her hand on his arm, and the warm touch was like a refreshing stream, calming his restless heart slightly.

Mei Terumi's face was solemn, but her eyes revealed an undeniable determination.

"No, we cannot accept your views. Killing cannot bring true peace; it will only perpetuate a cycle of hatred and sorrow."

"What the ninja world needs is understanding and tolerance, and joint efforts and construction."

Her voice, though soft, contained a powerful force that struck Wu's heart.

Wu Wei was slightly taken aback, then a playful smile appeared on her lips, seemingly surprised by Mei Mei's response.

"Mei Terumi, your beliefs are admirable, but also too naive. In this world, the strong are respected, and the weak can only become victims."

And I am determined to be the one to change the rules.

The negotiations had reached an unprecedented stalemate. Nangong Yehua's gaze lingered between Terumi Mei and Mu, her heart filled with inner turmoil.

He knew that the power of nothingness was unfathomable, and once it was used, it would be an earth-shattering battle.

The outcome of this battle was unpredictable. But on the other hand, he couldn't just stand by and watch Wu's ambition threaten the peace of the entire ninja world.

Several times, Nangong Yehua's fingers unconsciously tightened around his ninja tools, and his chakra surged within him, as if he were ready to explode at any moment.

However, whenever this happened, Mei Terumi would pull him back from the brink of anger with her firm gaze and gentle words.

“Nangong, we cannot easily give up the opportunity for dialogue. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of conscience deep in Wu’s heart.”

"We must use our wisdom and courage to awaken the light in his heart."

With Mei Terumi's insistence, Nangong Yehua gradually calmed down. He began to try to understand Wu's position from another perspective and look for a way to break the deadlock.

However, Wu also revealed a hint of wavering and confusion in the persistence and dialogue between the two.

In the firelight, the three men wore different expressions, yet at this moment, they were all striving to find a common way out for the future of the ninja world.

The atmosphere was tense and delicate, and every word seemed to carry a tremendous weight.

Chapter 542 The Second Tsuchikage's Battle of Nothingness

Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming, with their wisdom and courage, continuously conveyed the belief in peace and understanding to Wu, attempting to break down the barrier built by killing and hatred.

As the negotiations deepened, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, as if even the air itself had frozen. Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming's words were earnest, yet they failed to touch the icy depths of Wu's heart.

Wu's eyes remained cold and resolute, revealing an unquestionable determination. He slowly stood up.

A powerful chakra fluctuation began to emanate from his body, clearly indicating that he was ready for battle.

“Nangong Yehua, Zhao Meiming, I appreciate your kindness. But no one can stand in my way.”

Wu's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the two men.

Seeing this, Nangong Yehua slowly stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that this battle was unavoidable, and to protect the peace of the ninja world, he had to do everything in his power.

"No, since you insist on this, then let me see if you, a former powerhouse, still retain your former glory."

After saying that, Nangong Yehua moved swiftly, pouncing on Wu like a cheetah, his speed astonishing.

He formed hand seals and instantly unleashed a powerful ninjutsu. Flames, lightning, and wind blades intertwined to form an impenetrable net that enveloped Wu.

However, Wu did not panic. He smiled faintly and swayed slightly, dodging Nangong Yehua's attack like a ghost.

At the same time, he waved his hands, and the ground immediately cracked open, with countless earth spikes sprouting up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, heading straight for Nangong Yehua.

Nangong Yehua snorted coldly, and with a flip in the air, easily dodged the attack of the earth spikes.

He knew that the Second Tsuchikage, Wuwei, had mastered Earth Release ninjutsu to a very high degree, but he himself was no weakling either.

He wanted to use absolute power to show the ignorant that the power of peace should not be underestimated.

The ensuing battle became exceptionally fierce. The duel between Nangong Yehua and Wu, two powerful figures, stirred up the elemental power of heaven and earth.

Flames, lightning, storms, earth, and rocks—various ninjutsu intertwined and collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.

The two figures darted across the battlefield, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

However, despite the astonishing power of Wu's ninjutsu, it always seemed to fall short in front of Nangong Yehua.

Asking for flowers

With her profound understanding of ninjutsu and superb control, Nangong Yehua can always find Wu's weakness at crucial moments.

He delivered a fatal blow. Each of his attacks was precise and powerful, forcing Wu to retreat repeatedly, unable to defend himself.

As time went by, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Wu's forehead, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and anxiety.

He hadn't expected Nangong Yehua to be so powerful, that he would be completely suppressed by him.

"Nangong Yehua, you are indeed very strong. But do you think this will stop me?"

Wu's voice carried a hint of resentment and anger. He knew all too well that if things continued this way, he would surely be defeated.

Therefore, he decided to take a gamble and unleash his strongest ninjutsu.

With his hands forming hand seals, his chakra surged throughout his body, and his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light.
