Chapter 167: Kamo Family
If one were to ask what would be a more favorable battle for Kamo Hikaru, it would be the entire Kamo family being wiped out, and Tatsuro being blacklisted by the jujutsu higher-ups. And at this moment, the plan was underway. What he wanted was to regain control of the Kamo family…
Looking at the flowing water, Kamo Hikaru reached out his right hand and gently touched the huge curtain in front of him. It was like water. His black pupils were indifferent as he mumbled, "It's been two minutes. Let's wait a little longer…"
Inside the curtain.
Kamo Kenmotsu held the special grade cursed tool, cutting through the attacking water with a wave of his hand. His bare upper body revealed exposed blood. He whispered, "'Blood Manipulation: Blood Armor'."
The blood seeping from his pores formed armor. Besides defense, it could also allow him to cast other techniques more quickly.
Everyone's development of 'Blood Manipulation' was different, so the ways to play were naturally varied. The 'Cursed Technique' was just the power source; how to develop this power source depended entirely on personal understanding and practice.
Two blood arrows shot past him, aiming straight for Tatsuro in the distance.
"Plop—" Tatsuro pulled out the 'Spear of Shukaku' that was stuck in the water and swung it at the 'Piercing Blood'. No matter how flexibly they changed their attack trajectory, in front of the three-tomoe Sharingan, it would all turn into dust.
"Clang!" Ripples spread across the water's surface, and red blood splattered, dripping into the water.
His scarlet pupils only glanced at it before he threw the spear in his hand. He no longer needed this thing. It was useless against a special grade cursed tool, and the 'Spear of Shukaku' was meant to be thrown anyway.
The veins on Tatsuro's right arm, which held the spear, bulged. He threw it at the charging Kamo clan head.
"Swoosh—" The water surface rippled, reflecting the spear's image.
"Troublesome." Kamo Kenmotsu split the flying spear apart. At this moment, he was only fifty meters away from Tatsuro. It would take less than two seconds to actually get there. As for the other family members, they naturally had their own ways to cross.
Besides the clan head, there were four other Grade 1 sorcerers. One of them was harassing Tatsuro from behind with 'Piercing Blood', while the other three Grade 1 sorcerers were also showing off their skills.
While the other sorcerers were still swimming in the water, one of them used his own unique 'Cursed Technique' to forcibly raise the earth, separating the water level. It was just that the deployment time was slower. The clan head had already rushed to his face before the old man could finish building the earth wall.
The land plate moved up, and a two-meter-wide dirt road led straight to Tatsuro, hundreds of meters long, making the originally calm water surface turbulent.
"Hah, go!" The old man, already feeling a bit strained, shouted. A muscular middle-aged man took the lead, stepping on the wet dirt road and charging over.
"Tsk, there's this kind of sorcerer too?" Tatsuro frowned, his left hand reaching into his shoulder bag and taking out a handful of 'Explosive Clay'. He then threw it out, formed a seal with one hand, and let out a soft cry, "Ha!"
"Poof!" White smoke scattered. The moment the "Golden Eagle" spread its wings, a fierce cursed energy attacked. Six 'Sage Art: Explosion Release: Clay Birds' were instantly reduced to one. Kamo Kenmotsu's voice came, "Don't even think about summoning shikigami!"
"What a disgusting cursed tool." Tatsuro looked at the 'Bird' that had been cut apart, a cold glint in his scarlet pupils. The great families were indeed the great families; they had all kinds of sorcerers.
Now it was a contest of cursed energy. His hands quickly formed seals, and four giant water dragons emerged, biting down on the charging Kamo Kenmotsu. Then, while Kamo Kenmotsu was entangled with the 'Water Dragon Bullet Technique', Tatsuro raised his right arm, and the only remaining 'Bird' quickly attacked, its sharp claws grabbing the boy's right hand and flying up.
He was going to deal with the others. If this battle continued like this, he would surely lose. There were too many enemies. He had to deal with the other small fries first.
His scarlet pupils looked at the man charging on the dirt road. Tatsuro controlled the 'Bird' to throw him over.
"You're courting death!" Lu saw Tatsuro descending. The blue cursed energy in his body was like a raging fire. The fists he threw out instantly formed hundreds of afterimages, and the fists condensed from cursed energy flew towards Tatsuro!
"One is more troublesome than the other." Tatsuro, still in the air, his three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly, already showing signs of condensing. His hands quickly formed seals. He took a deep breath, feeling the burning fire in his chest.
Then he exhaled!
'Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique'!'
"Whoosh!!" A giant fire dragon spewed from his mouth, its eyes glaring angrily like copper bells. The dozens-of-meters-long body opened its bloody mouth and bit down on the fists formed from cursed energy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." The fists hit the fire dragon, causing a series of explosions. The techniques canceled each other out, and the mighty fire dragon was instantly hammered to pieces.
"'Convergence' · 'Piercing Blood'!" A blood arrow shot out like a bolt, aiming straight for Tatsuro who was still in the sky. The man hundreds of meters away smiled. After all, he couldn't dodge in the sky now. That damn 'shikigami' wouldn't be able to catch him in time, and he had thrown away his weapon. Wasn't this just asking for death?
"Swoosh—!" The scarlet blood arrow crossed a distance of dozens of meters in an instant. This also caught Tatsuro's attention. After all, nothing on the field could escape the prying eyes of his Sharingan.
His scarlet pupils only glanced at it, and his hands quickly formed seals. As the seals in his hands were completed, the 'Piercing Blood' was less than fifty meters away from him. It would take less than half a second to blow his head off!
"BOOM!!" Three water walls instantly deployed, blocking the 'Piercing Blood'.
Tatsuro also successfully landed, muttering, "'Water Release: Triple Water Formation Wall'." Although the fire dragon was hammered to pieces, the fists formed by cursed energy were also mostly "eaten" by the fire dragon. The two moves had canceled each other out.
Just as Lu was about to throw another punch, a "chirping" sound echoed in his ears. Tatsuro's scarlet pupils stared at the tall, muscular man, and cursed energy burst from his eyes.
Suddenly seeing his wife, Lu was stunned for a moment. In the next second, Tatsuro used his right hand, covered in 'Chidori', to instantly cut off the man's head. The entire process was without any hesitation, as if this battle was proceeding according to a script in his mind.
"Plop—" The man's head fell into the water, his eyes full of gentleness, as if he had seen his most beloved person before dying.
"One." After saying this, Tatsuro instantly disappeared from his spot. In the black night, the current could be seen stagnating. The lightning stimulated the cells in his body. Against sorcerers below Grade 1, it was like chopping vegetables. His right hand fell, and a head rose.
The truly troublesome one was the Kamo clan head with the special grade cursed tool. At this moment, he was temporarily held back by four water dragons. It was the best time to break the enemy's formation.
"Tatsuro!!" Kamo Kenmotsu, who had cut through the four water dragons, saw Lu's headless body and roared hoarsely.
Tatsuro paid no attention to this. At this moment, he… was just an emotionless point-earning robot. Three hundred points, instantly bringing the progress of the 'Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan' down to just seven hundred points. Today, regardless of whether it was a so-called misunderstanding, he had to "annihilate" the Kamo family.
Because he… was stronger!
A thousand birds chirped within the 'Curtain'. Lightning as swift as the wind flashed in the dark night. Water flowed out, and the originally golden wheat now lay limply on the water's surface.
"Swoosh!" A slash suddenly appeared. The still-descending water surface was instantly cut open, as was Tatsuro's path forward.
His scarlet pupils glanced at the slash mark on the ground, then he snapped the neck of the man in his right hand and said, "Four. Nine more to go."
"Go to hell!" Kamo Kenmotsu instantly rushed in front of Tatsuro along the cut-open water path, the long sword in his hand swinging out, a cursed energy slash visible.
"Swoosh!" The incomparably sharp slash instantly forced Tatsuro back. Looking at the wound on his left shoulder, the young man's expression was grave. The clan head was still too difficult to deal with, and his speed was also quite fast. Much faster than that low-level Kamo Kage…
At the same time, as the water level dropped, the people who could now walk normally also surrounded him.
His scarlet pupils quickly scanned the surroundings. There were still three people watching him from a distance, cutting off his path to 'Domain Expansion'. But Diabolos's figure had actually disappeared. Where did he go…
Actually, it was normal for him to run away in this situation. Tatsuro didn't particularly care, but for him to be able to run out from within the curtain was outrageous! 'Curtain' = 'Barrier'. The cursed energy consumed to deploy such a large-scale barrier was self-evident. A curtain that even he might not be able to break through, how did this guy run out?
"Go!" Kamo Kenmotsu took a deep breath, re-gripped the hilt of his sword, and the 'Blood Armor' on his body began to converge into other shapes. But this did not affect him from moving forward with his sword.
He had seen it clearly. On the field, only he alone could hold back Tatsuro's advance. The others could only play a supporting role. And up until now, he hadn't even brought out that dog armor… This brat absolutely could not be left alive! A second "Gojo Satoru"!
A swift slash came out. The raised land was instantly cut open, like tofu.
"Click—" Tatsuro quickly dodged the fatal blow. Just as he stepped into the water, he saw two men with swords charging at him, shouting, "Go to hell, Tatsuro!"
"Smack!"
"Click—" The silvery-white blades fell into the water. Tatsuro's scarlet pupils looked at the two headless corpses that were spouting blood. He retracted his blood-stained right hand and muttered, "Just two Grade 3s, such posers. Seven more to go."
The remaining ones were basically all elites. It would be very troublesome to kill them. And most of them hadn't used their 'Cursed Techniques'. They were probably all large-scale destructive techniques, which were not easy to use in this chaotic battle. This was also his advantage…
"Thud!" The "Golden Eagle" soaring in the sky fell and produced a violent explosion.
It was shot down… Tatsuro glanced at it, then moved towards the two old sixes who only knew how to shoot sneakily.
"With this old man here, don't even think of passing!" The old man who had created the dirt road before touched the ground with both hands. The ground then began to tremble, and a huge earth dragon appeared, rushing towards Tatsuro with overwhelming force. The old man stood on the giant earth dragon, his hands forming a seal, his chest heaving violently, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"An earth dragon…" Tatsuro stopped in his tracks, his scarlet pupils glancing around. His hands continued to form seals, [Dog]. After crossing his hands to form the last seal, he took a deep breath, his chest puffing up high, and exhaled an invisible breath!
'Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves'!'
Dozens of sickle-weasel-like wind blades flew towards the old man on the earth dragon. The giant earth dragon was instantly cut with a mark by the wind blades. The old man, who was a beat slow to react, had his neck instantly severed by a wind blade… He was old, after all. His stamina and cursed energy could no longer keep up. Creating that dirt road had already made him pant for a long time. This earth dragon had exhausted all his cursed energy…
"Six." Chidori chirped in Tatsuro's right hand. Just as he was about to continue his attack on those two, a chill came from behind…
"Pfft—" His chest was pierced by a sudden blood arrow. Tatsuro's body trembled. He looked at the blood arrow on the ground, his pupils shrinking. 'Piercing Blood' needed to be compressed through 'Convergence' to have power. He had roughly calculated the time needed for compression, two to three seconds. What was with this 'Piercing Blood'? He had clearly seen Kamo Kenmotsu not using it two seconds ago. Where did it come from?!
In the moment of shock, feeling a cold glint approaching, Tatsuro instinctively wanted to dodge. His Sharingan saw Kamo Kenmotsu appear behind him, the long sword in his hand swinging out, his eyes filled with indifference. The blood armor protecting his body was gone!? This was probably why the 'Piercing Blood' had appeared… Wait… I can't dodge!? That last hit had taken out his heart!
His pupils contracted violently. He never thought the mere Kamo family would push him to this point. He thought that he, who had swept through the head of the Zenin family, would easily crush them.
"You all… deserve to die!!"
Perhaps accepting the fact that he was weak, Tatsuro's eyes spun rapidly and converged. A scarlet skeleton covered the surface of his body, his vision visibly decreasing.
"Crack—" The 'Susanoo' was shattered by this blow, but it also allowed Tatsuro to successfully save his own life. The 'Reverse Cursed Technique' quickly repaired his missing heart.
"Gurgle—" The sound of bubbles echoed in his ears. Tatsuro was lying flat in the water, but no one dared to approach.
The skeleton that had been shattered by Kamo Kenmotsu's slash had now recovered. Red flames burned in its skull's eyes, staring intently at the formidable enemy before it.
"Thump—" Feeling his heart beat again, Tatsuro slowly stood up, like a zombie just crawled out of a grave. Blood trickled from the corners of his eyes, and the Mangekyo in his eyes spun slowly.
He was alive now, all thanks to the fact that he wouldn't die instantly without a heart. He gently raised his right hand and said, "Let's not waste any more time. Come at me together. I'm in a hurry now."
"It seems it's not its final form yet," Kamo Kenmotsu said, tightening his grip on his sword, as if victory was already in his grasp. "You will die here today."
"Yes, I really almost died here today. But now it's you who are going to die. I… am getting serious." Tatsuro's pair of bewitching Mangekyo eyes stared intently at the special grade cursed tool in Kamo Kenmotsu's hand. I want it…
"Is the King getting serious…" Diabolos, lurking in the water, silently took out his camera to take pictures. He sighed in his heart that he was lucky he had bought a waterproof camera. Beside him lay a corpse, none other than the person who had been controlling the curtain. He had also closed the loophole in the 'Curtain' and not released it. After all, the King had said, it was they who were going to die.
He just needed to be a qualified spectator now, to record the King's highlight moments…
