Chapter 738: Tang Ping vs. The Three Goddesses!
Chapter 738: Tang Ping vs. The Three Goddesses!
Hisssss!
Countless snakes hissed, their voices echoing across the battlefield.
Like a tidal wave, a swarm of snakes emerged from beneath the fortified district, bursting through the ground.
Being a ninja was not a delicate profession; they were certainly not afraid of snakes.
The problem was that the number of snakes was comparable to a 'Pythonic Disaster'.
It was even more terrifying than hundreds of Orochimaru simultaneously casting the Serpent Array, and the colorful snakes made one's scalp tingle.
The critical issue was the location of their appearance, which was deadly! They emerged directly from the gaps in the fortified ground, instantly causing panic.
No matter how strong one was, facing external enemies and an internal snake tide made it impossible to display their full strength.
Especially for ordinary people, facing this situation resulted in heavy casualties instantly.
It was impossible to evacuate in advance without alerting the enemy that they had a high-level spy within their ranks.
Therefore, this scene had to unfold.
Of course, the plan was devised by Uchiha Yaya, and Tang Ping had intended to evacuate people in advance, but she convinced him otherwise.
Sacrificing oneself was a basic principle in the Shinobi World, and being overly cautious would achieve nothing.
However, Tang Ping's anger was genuine.
The losses were immense! This wave of snakes alone had inflicted heavy casualties on the defensive forces, with at least hundreds of ninjas and over a thousand ordinary people sacrificed.
Hence, he roared.
"Dragon Groundhole, you're digging your own grave!"
Then, he leaped forward.
A flame-like aura appeared around him as he charged towards a purple giant snake that had just broken through the ground and destroyed a small fortress.
Tang Ping's actions served a purpose: to claim the 'Grand Righteousness'.
This way, everyone would know that Dragon Groundhole had broken their agreement, and it wasn't Tang Ping who had gone back on his word.
This was crucial! Reputation was of utmost importance in the Shinobi World.
Ninjas were known for their unscrupulous methods, but the strong also valued their promises immensely. They would rather pay with their lives or any price to keep their word.
It was a contradictory culture!
In such an environment, Tang Ping was naturally cautious about his reputation.
However, as the targeted prey, Wan She was extremely anxious.
Please don't come over here!
Tang Ping's strength was not just known to ninjas but even to the Nin-Ken Clan.
His reputation for storming Sage Tree Mountain, slaying the White Snake Immortal, and being on par with the Great Toad Immortal was enough to terrify Wan She.
Despite its usual cruelty and brutality, Wan She was cowardly when faced with Tang Ping's determination to annihilate.
Dragon Groundhole was also aware that Tang Ping was severely injured, and even if he forced a confrontation, his strength would be greatly diminished. Otherwise, he might not have dared to break the agreement and stab them in the back.
Pop!
A mouthful of venom was spat out, and Wan She prepared to flee.
However, before it could burrow into the ground, three figures appeared above, causing it to halt.
The Three Goddesses!
These three were all at the Immortal level, their strength on par with Fukasaku and Shima.
With them at the forefront, Wan She had no thoughts of escape.
If it fled, the punishment from Dragon Groundhole would not be light.
"Do you think you can handle me?"
Tang Ping shattered the venom, his eyes cold as he faced the Three Goddesses blocking his path.
He held no favor for Dragon Groundhole.
It wasn't because Dragon Groundhole enjoyed being a behind-the-scenes manipulator, disrupting the Shinobi World. They hadn't done that.
Rather, it was because Dragon Groundhole was a 'people-eater'.
Yes, this fact alone was enough to infuriate him.
"Then let's see how well you've recovered!"
Tian Xin Shen Ji responded, and beside her, the blue-haired, red-tongued Shijukushima Hime had already made her move.
Hum~!
A sound wave spread, causing the ninjas in the surrounding area to lose control of their bodies as if they were drunk.
No honor in battle!
The snakes were indeed cunning and treacherous, disregarding their 'Immortal' status and immediately launching a sneak attack.
If one's guard was slightly weaker, they might have fallen victim this time.
"It seems Dragon Groundhole has made his choice!"
Tang Ping's tattoo-like wings began to grow from his back.
He wanted Dragon Groundhole to face the consequences for breaking their agreement.
Once this goal was achieved, there was no need for pretense.
Blazing Sun Wings!
The activation of this extraordinary organ signaled his commitment to giving it his all.
"Stop him!"
The lead goddess, Tian Xin Shen Ji, gave the order.
Despite not understanding why the opponent was unaffected by the unique illusions of Dragon Ground Hole, they couldn't allow them to act recklessly.
The Allied Forces naturally spared no effort in gathering intelligence on the opponent.
They analyzed and reported all the battles and past experiences of the opponent since their time in Konoha, including the battle at the Valley of the End and the killing of the Great Toad Immortal at Myoboku Mountain.
Especially the battle at Myoboku Mountain where the Great Toad Immortal was slain.
Although the toads couldn't get close to the battlefield, they witnessed the peculiarities and knew that Douhei was able to defeat the Great Toad Immortal by using a special ninjutsu that concentrated immense heat and light.
Now, upon seeing the Blazing Sun Wings behind Douhei, the Three Sacred Princesses immediately became alert and were determined not to give him a chance to unleash his abilities. They launched an all-out offensive.
For close combat, they referred to Orochimaru's Soft Body Modification Technique for snakes.
The snakes were annoyingly agile, and they couldn't be killed or crushed, giving their opponents no chance to catch their breath.
Moreover, there was also someone using sacred techniques to attack from the side.
"Sacred Technique: White Surge!"
Tuan Jin Ji unleashed a unique sacred technique of Dragon Ground Hole.
Just as Myoboku Mountain had the Frog Group Hand, Dragon Ground Hole also had its own unique sacred techniques.
A red light dragon with a black ball in its claws was spat out, and it quickly spun around the black ball.
When the black ball reached the extreme point of rotation, the red light dragon drilled into it and instantly exploded.
Buzz!
Endless bright lights and piercing sounds filled the sky.
"Ouch!"
"I can't see anything!"
...
Many ninjas on both sides below were affected.
White Surge!
It was a terrifying sacred technique that could deprive all living beings within an area of their vision and cast illusions.
Only snakes, with their snake corneas, were unaffected.
It could be considered a strategic-level illusion technique.
This was why the ninjas below subconsciously avoided their combat zone; otherwise, the number of affected ninjas would have been even more astonishing.
Douhei, of course, was unaffected.
He had undergone Elementalization, so how could he be influenced by sound and light?
Elementalization FTW!
This secret technique not only granted him physical immunity but also enabled him to ignore numerous powerful secret techniques.
For example, poison, insects, illusions, and the like had no effect on him.
It was because of Elementalization that he had the confidence to engage in direct combat.
Otherwise, facing countless secret and forbidden techniques, defeat would be inevitable.
One against three!
Douhei challenged the Three Sacred Princesses alone.
Although he had already used the Blazing Sun Wings, he couldn't quickly defeat them.
Because their objective was clear.
To hold him back!
Once they managed to contain him, the biggest variable, they would have a way to deal with the others.
Take Uchiha Yaya, for instance. Her previously displayed strength had already reached the Ultra Shadow level, yet the Allied Forces still had confidence in facing her, a testament to her formidable power.
And the one assigned to deal with Uchiha Yaya was also a peerless strong opponent.
Jiraiya!
No, to be precise, Jiraiya, Deep Work, and Sharp Teeth!
With sufficient cover this time, Jiraiya was finally able to smoothly use his Sage Mode and block Uchiha Yaya.
Both sides unleashed their full power, and the battle raged fiercely.
Jiraiya alone held off Uchiha Yaya, while Douhei was held back by the Three Sacred Princesses.
On the Central Allied Army's side, there were also many powerful ninjas, such as Tsunade, Asama, Boar Deer Butterfly, Senjutsumaru, Kakashi, and more—their numbers were indeed impressive.
Additionally, they had the support of Yellow Soil and two thousand Rock Ninjas.
One could only wonder what price Jiraiya had paid to make the stubborn and rigid Onoki make such a decision.
Boom! Boom!
The sturdy and thick walls of the main fortress were being demolished by the Rock Goliath.
Although these puppets were rigid, heavy, and lacked special abilities, unlike the Zhuorun True Body or Susanoo, they were perfectly suited for destroying buildings.
Combined with the omnipresent snake and toad forces, the Skyguard Tower's defenses were swiftly breached.
"Retreat!"
"Reorganize the formation!"
...
The Skyguard Tower ninjas began to withdraw from the fortress zone, organizing their forces.
Without the advantage of the fortress, fighting the Allied Forces in an open area was like throwing pebbles at a mountain.
No matter how elite or skilled they were, it was impossible to turn the tide against such overwhelming numbers.
Moreover, Konoha also had a frowning-inducing force in the battle.
