Chapter 238: Chapter 236: Instant Kill
Chapter 236: Instant Kill
A long purple tongue shot out from the King of Hell's mouth, sweeping toward the scattered remains of the Asura Path, as effortlessly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Seeing this, Baishi swiftly formed a hand seal, consecutively executing the Rat—Boar—Snake seals, activating his jutsu—Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.
A brilliant white light emanated from his palms, forming a sword-like beam, which slashed toward the purple tongue. The moment the two made contact, the tongue was instantly severed into two halves.
However, the beam didn't stop there. Under Baishi's precise control, it continued slicing toward the King of Hell.
If it hit, with the power of Dust Release, the King of Hell would instantly be disintegrated to its atomic level.
But just then—
The rotund figure of the Preta Path suddenly appeared in front of the King of Hell, raising its hands and using Absorption Seal, nullifying the Dust Release beam entirely.
Although natural energy countered the Preta Path, Baishi had yet to enter Sage Mode, meaning he couldn't exploit this weakness yet.
"But I'm almost there."
He glanced briefly at the space ring on the middle finger of his right hand.
The Flying Thunder God: Guidance Seal on the ring had already activated, and an imperceptible spatial crack was following his movements.
From within the crack, dense natural energy surged like a broken dam, seeping out at an accelerated rate.
Baishi was silently absorbing all of it.
This was another fruit of his research.
Previously, if he wanted to quickly enter Sage Mode, he had to enter the space ring and absorb the natural energy gathered by the Spiritual Gathering Array.
But that method was too slow for combat.
So Baishi sought to improve the process.
And after months of refinements, he finally succeeded.
Now, he could directly absorb the highly concentrated natural energy from the spatial rift.
Though the rate of absorption was still lower than inside the space, it was much faster than absorbing natural energy from the outside world.
These thoughts flashed through his mind as he dodged the Preta Path, preparing to use Dust Release to completely erase the Asura Path's remains.
However—
Another purple tongue shot out from the King of Hell's mouth, this time at blinding speed, instantly wrapping around Tendo Pain.
This second tongue caught Baishi completely off guard.
In that brief moment of hesitation, he lost the chance to intervene.
At the same time—
The Human Path, the Animal Path, and their summoned beasts surged forward, blocking his approach.
"Tch!"
Baishi sighed and scolded himself:
"Still lacking in battle experience."
"Who said it could only have one tongue?"
He had relied too much on past knowledge from his previous life, forgetting that this world was a living reality, not just a fixed script.
Pushing these thoughts aside, Baishi dodged a sneak attack from the Human Path, then unfurled his Wind Wings and took to the air.
Gazing down at the King of Hell, which was now devouring Tendo Pain, and the Preta Path standing guard, he shifted his focus to the Human Path, the Animal Path, and the summoned creatures.
"Since I can't stop Tendo Pain from recovering, I'll eliminate these nuisances first."
With that, Baishi swiftly formed hand seals.
A bluish-white droplet the size of a fist appeared in his palm.
A chilling aura radiated from it.
Even with Baishi's high cold resistance, his hand still felt slightly numb upon contact.
"First time using this technique... let's see how effective it is."
Muttering to himself, Baishi released the droplet, which floated in the air instead of falling.
This seemingly tranquil scene filled everyone with a sense of unease.
They instinctively raised their guard.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Still, no change.
Yet the tension in the air intensified.
Then—
A faint shattering sound echoed.
A brilliant blue-white light suddenly burst forth, expanding outward at blinding speed, engulfing the entire Four Red Yang Formation.
For several long seconds, the entire battlefield was bathed in icy radiance.
When the light faded, all that remained was—
A frozen wasteland.
This was Baishi's latest jutsu—
Ice Release: Absolute Zero.
The concept was simple—to freeze an entire area using an ultra-low temperature.
Simple—but deadly.
The lower the temperature, the more terrifying the effect.
As long as a target's resistance to cold was insufficient, they would be completely frozen.
For Baishi, this jutsu was a perfect last-resort technique.
But thanks to Absolute Adaptation, he was completely immune to the cold.
Additionally, to maximize its effectiveness, he lengthened the activation time to three seconds, ensuring enemies wouldn't have time to escape.
For ordinary Jonin, three seconds was enough to escape.
But Baishi had set the freeze radius to 500 meters, making it near impossible for anyone to flee.
Moreover, the jutsu's effect lasted several seconds, meaning even if they resisted for a moment, they would eventually succumb to the frost.
The result—
All the Animal Path's summons were frozen solid.
Even the Animal Path and Human Path themselves were encased in ice, immobilized.
Though they were already corpses, meaning they wouldn't die from the cold, they were completely paralyzed.
The only exceptions were—
The Naraka Path and its King of Hell.
Thanks to the Preta Path's absorption, they remained unharmed.
After briefly scanning the battlefield, Baishi ignored them for now.
Instead—
He vanished—
And reappeared before the frozen Human Path and Animal Path.
Raising his hands—
He gripped their heads—
Crack!
With a crisp snap, both their necks twisted grotesquely, leaving them permanently immobilized.
