Chapter 840: Chapter 762: Clash
At this moment, Tao Yu also turned his attention to Sage of Six Paths and said,
“You decide, after all, this concerns the Ninja World.”
Tao Yu had no relations with Saint Ou, and could even be considered to have conflicts with the Ou Family. If Sage of Six Paths didn’t want to rescue him, then there was no need to forcefully resist.
Now, although his strength had improved and he had truly stepped into Saintly Position, and after the deification of his Rinnegan, Tao Yu had full confidence whether facing Saint Ou or Sage of Six Paths.
However, when facing this Golden Witch whose strength surpassed him in every aspect, Tao Yu still acknowledged her power.
Her previous maneuver even carried a subtle temporal and spatial fluctuation; this was someone adept in the ways of time and space manipulation.
Moreover, she seemed to contain another will within her, likely being the other witch he had yet to meet in person. It was unknown if she had left something on the woman, which might become another trump card when necessary.
In such uncertainty, if the trouble involved Sage of Six Paths and the Ninja World, Tao Yu might lend a hand out of past sentiments.
But if it was just Saint Ou, Tao Yu would let it be, especially since he felt that Saint Ou had yet to play all his cards.
A Saint would certainly not so easily place their safety in the hands of others.
With a mixture of resignation and sincerity, Sage of Six Paths sighed and spoke in a slow and earnest tone,
“In fact, my first encounter with this gentleman was not pleasant…”
This made Saint Ou’s face show a bitter look, yet he had no room for rebuttal.
“But, our Ninja World is right here, unable to leave. We cannot act as recklessly as the rest of you, the Pioneers, who ultimately have the stronger force. If this lady has already reached some agreement with the mother, then by all means depart, but please refrain from causing trouble in the Ninja World while here. Once you leave, I won’t be able to do anything about it…”
Sage of Six Paths was feeling the difficulty of the situation.
He surely didn’t want to step into these muddy waters, this rascal even came over to ‘visit’ before!
But this person must not die near the Ninja World.
From the simple conversation so far, it’s clear the Witch’s Church is ultimately no match for the Pioneers, possessing only the advantage of mobility.
Once they dust off and leave, only leaving the Ninja World to sulk in their aftermath, who knows what unforeseen retaliation might occur!
Sage of Six Paths hadn’t expected them to reach some agreement with the mother out of thin air. Given the current power dynamics, it would likely be difficult for him to prevent it.
Therefore, letting the mother and them leave was not entirely unacceptable, as long as the mother no longer bore a grudge.
This matter couldn’t be resolved by having more mothers in the Ninja World, so if it could end this way, it was acceptable!
“Heh, that won’t do, he killed a very important substitute for me! This matter must be accounted for!”
Beatrice’s expression was filled with cold indifference, seemingly unmoved.
“I have already stated it wasn’t me who killed! We have a member of the Pioneers who experienced the scene and is currently healing, I can call him to confront this!”
Saint Ou was also rather irritated at this point, being a Saint and the Heaven of Earth Dragon City!
When had he ever been this disgruntled!
But, with his power lacking, he had no choice.
He was referring to the elder ancestor of the Bright Family who was specifically sent back, a mere Catastrophe Level.
But at that time he was already severely injured and had sealed himself in meditation, oblivious to the outside world and clueless about everything, so Saint Ou was somewhat frustrated as he continued,
“Previously, our side’s Tianchengzi caused a bloodbath, resulting in the death of several Catastrophe Levels, and my two clansmen also died one after another. So there must be another third party in the vicinity, we have all been provoked! When I cleaned up the battlefield, I detected traces of the Bai Family from White Star City…”
At this point, Saint Ou could only reveal what he knew.
Damn it!
It must be the good work of the Bai Family!
Completely unaware of what they wanted to do, to act so out of line!
“Still making excuses! It shows you have no sincerity!”
A Golden Spear appeared in Beatrice’s hand, piercing through the World Barrier in an instant, thrusting directly at Saint Ou.
The sturdy World Barrier, just like tattered cloth in front of scissors, was torn with a rip and directly penetrated.
She knew the Pioneers could return given time.
She would not give up just like that!
And the decisive action of Beatrice also indicated her determination, even if it meant waging war in Sage of Six Paths’ home ground, she was prepared to take the risk!
This fully demonstrated her confidence.
“Tianchengzi was acting on our behalf!”
Beatrice finally revealed a bit about the Tianchengzi bloodbath.
Because she knew what Tianchengzi was doing, she also understood that Kamishiro Rize’s death had nothing to do with it!
Kamishiro Rize was an important substitute she had cultivated with great difficulty for the completion of the ritual, and to be cautious, she even arranged for ‘Truth’ to be active nearby.
Yet still met with disaster!
Furthermore, this Saint possessed his unique traits and definitely warranted his personal involvement…
“Please, cease your actions!”
The Sage of Six Paths certainly did not wish for a Saintly battle to erupt within the Ninja World; the damage would be too great. Thus, he lifted his hand and gathered the power of the World Will.
The entire surrounding region began to blur into a dreamlike state, filled with the omnipresent aura of the World Will and the Sacred Intent of the Sage of Six Paths, acting like quicksilver to prevent the spillover of remnants.
He then lifted his black staff and gently tapped against the golden spear tip.
Clang~
Fighting on his home turf and with the assistance of the World Will, the Sage of Six Paths actually managed to block the strike.
Both parties compressed their Sacred Intent to a high degree, resulting in minimal collateral effects from the battle.
The only outward manifestation was their garments and hair fluttering simultaneously.
However, the space where the two stood rippled, and in some areas, black thread-like cracks appeared, akin to shattered glass, as if the Ninja World’s space itself could barely withstand such a confrontation.
After that strike, the Sage of Six Paths inwardly winced, having regretfully depleted nearly twenty percent of his painstakingly conserved power.
Not even the depletion from awaking the Chakras of Asura and Indra was this significant!
He then lowly commanded under his breath, making a grasping gesture with his hand.
Banbutsu Sozo!
Chunks of debris and wood ripped from the ground, with large clumps of dirt and rock rolling towards him as if to form a replica of Mount Sumeru.
“Earth Exploding Star!”
Mixed with the restrictions and delays of Sealing Skills, and in concert with the amplification by the World Will, the Sage of Six Paths unleashed tremendous divine might.
But at this moment, Beatrice simply snapped her fingers lightly, and the Sealing of Earth Exploding Star seemed to be transferred away, as if it was directed to another dimensional world.
With great finesse, she neutralized the Sage’s Six Paths combination attack.
“As for the methods you used against Kaguya, we have also inquired about them. Having come here, how could we not have the means to handle them? Bring out whatever else you have!”
Beatrice’s willful voice also conveyed extreme swiftness, promptly expressing her intent.
“Jack, please assist me.”
The Sage of Six Paths, who had his attack blocked, urgently called for Tao Yu’s assistance.
Meanwhile, the Golden Witch Beatrice held the spear with one hand against the Sage’s Six Paths staff and with the other neutralized the Earth Exploding Star.
On the other side, with Witch Factors converging upon her, a multitude of Invisible Hands launched forth, simultaneously reaching out for both Saint Ou and Tao Yu!
Each invisible hand was undetectable except by depleting Sacred Intent, with no other means of visibility.
Each one seemed capable of ignoring rules, ignoring defenses!
Taking on three opponents at once, she audaciously pulled all three Saints into the fray!
In her estimation, currently, only the Sage of Six Paths, who had the backing of the home field World Will, posed a threat, but once the power accumulated by the world was exhausted, he too would be at her mercy.
Relying on the Invisible Hands, she could efficiently handle both of the others simultaneously!
These formless hands, unfazed, pierced through the Barriers erected by the Sage’s staff as if they were nothing, and swarmed towards Tao Yu and Saint Ou!
“Be careful, this is the Authority of the Sloth Witch! Extremely troublesome!”
Now on a united front, Saint Ou quickly alerted them, using his consciousness for rapid communication.
The wounds he sustained were gifts from these intangible hands!
Besides leveraging Sacred Intent, there were nearly no ways to counter them.
But he had already lost the clash of Sacred Intents!
Now facing these swarming black hands once more, Saint Ou produced a gemstone while generating hundreds of afterimages of himself in mid-air.
With a casual gesture, half of these afterimages scattered in various directions as if fleeing, while the other half turned around and charged at Beatrice.
However, those that turned to attack were almost instantly shredded by the Invisible Hands, unable to even struggle, merely a ploy to buy time.
Those dispersing afterimages, each seeming as though it could replace the real body at any moment, also appeared on the verge of being pierced by the Invisible Hands, which had seemingly eradicated the notion of distance.
This compelled Saint Ou’s complexion to darken, as if he had resolved himself to something grave.
But just as the Invisible Hands were poised to continue their pursuit, they suddenly halted.
Beatrice, who was still holding her spear against the Sage of Six Paths, this host, also lifted her blue eyes, gazing in the direction of Tao Yu.
At this moment, those intangible, Invisible black hands stilled, unable to advance even an inch beside Tao Yu!
What initially seemed ordinary, Tao Yu, who at first glance appeared to have the lowest stature amongst the three, now had a black halo slowly forming above his head.
Simultaneously, a sense of saintly purity exuded from Tao Yu’s body, rapidly ascended, entering a sublime state!
Ripples of black spread out, and those Invisible Hands appeared to be drawn and sucked into the Gate of Guf that loomed above Tao Yu’s head…
What do you think?
