He gripped the core of Chakra, which was blood-red, constantly twitching and struggling.
Feng Xu held it up to his face, his cold voice ringing out.
"Surrender, or die."
Swish, swish, swish!
Feng Xu was met with several blue Chakra threads.
They swept up the wooden splinters from the ground and hurled them towards Feng Xu's face.
"It seems you've made the wrong choice…"
With a sneer, Feng Xu's palm tightened slightly, and purplish-red blood burst from the Chakra core.
"Bastard!"
"Let go of Master Sasori at once!"
The battle was quick, and it ended just as quickly.
Deidara, realizing Sasori was about to be killed, reacted.
He quickly molded countless clay spiders and birds, surrounding Feng Xu.
Although the golden-red Tailed Beast art on Feng Xu's body was stunning,
Deidara still chose Sasori's eternal art, which was the opposite of his own!
"You also refuse my invitation and want to attack me?"
Feng Xu tilted his head, his masked face full of regret.
"In that case, I'll just have to eliminate both of you."
"That way, even if Orochimaru doesn't find the ring, getting your two rings will still count as fulfilling my promise to… Pain."
Feeling the palpable killing intent emanating from Feng Xu,
Sasori's Chakra core finally relented, connecting with the still-intact head on the ground using blue Chakra threads.
"Stop, I agree to become your subordinate."
"However, I will tell Leader Pain and Konan about this, as I am no match for them either."
Although Sasori believed he hadn't used his full power,
Feng Xu, who was clearly at ease, hadn't used his full power either.
One could even say he wasn't serious at all!
If they truly fought, Deidara would likely be crushed just like him, and then die in vain.
"Whatever you want."
Feng Xu indifferently released the Chakra core in his hand, not at all afraid of Sasori, this 'primary school student,' tattling.
"Anyway, after I give you Tailed Beast Chakra, you'll naturally change your current thoughts."
Chapter 164: Are You the Pure Love Warrior of the Ninja World?
"What do you mean agree or disagree!"
"My explosion can finish him in an instant!"
Seeing Sasori's art of eternal beauty crushed, Deidara immediately wanted to try his art of momentary beauty.
Moreover, Deidara inherently loved pursuing such intense stimulation.
So, before he got a beating, he had no intention of stopping!
"Master Sasori, just wait, I'll take him down and rescue you right away, un!"
As he spoke, Deidara controlled the clay spiders and birds, quickly bypassing Sasori's Chakra core in front.
They all rushed towards Feng Xu from behind, climbing onto his golden-red Chakra cloak.
"Such a close explosion, my Chakra core definitely can't withstand it!"
Sasori, who had fallen to the ground after being released by Feng Xu, saw the explosive clay creations not far from him.
He immediately controlled his Chakra core, quickly embedding it into his broken body on the ground.
Then, he flew away from the center of the explosion as fast as he could, heading outwards.
"That hateful bastard, I thought he really wanted to save me, but it was just to show off his explosion that isn't art at all!"
Sasori quickly understood Deidara's intentions.
Although he wouldn't admit that Deidara's explosions were art,
He knew very well that both he and Deidara were artists, extremely confident and arrogant about their own art.
To subdue them, one had to fight and win against them!
"Hah!"
As the clay spiders and birds completely enveloped Feng Xu, Deidara let out a loud shout.
He instantly detonated all the explosive clay around Feng Xu.
Boom boom boom!!!
A series of violent explosions echoed incessantly.
The surrounding earth instantly shattered and exploded, forming a huge sinkhole.
A large amount of rubble and dust scattered into the sky, creating choking smoke.
"Hmph, to dare to underestimate my art and not dodge, he's probably been torn to shreds by the explosion by now, un!"
Deidara, who had jumped onto a nearby tree, looked at the powerful destructive force he had caused with great satisfaction.
At the same time, he also thought of Sasori, who was left with only a Chakra core.
"Although he tried his best to avoid it, I wonder if Master Sasori's eternally beautiful art can withstand it."
"But it doesn't matter, at least Master Sasori experienced the fleeting beauty of the moment before he died; this is an artist's death…"
But before Deidara could finish his triumphant words,
Sasori's angry voice rang out from behind Deidara.
"Deidara, your explosion, which isn't art at all, can't kill me!"
"Master Sasori!?" Deidara's face showed surprise.
Then, his body suddenly retreated rapidly.
His hands plunged into the pouches at his waist, and the large mouths on his palms quickly chewed the explosive clay within.
Sasori, with only a core left, being able to escape his explosion range must be because of Feng Xu!
So Feng Xu not only dodged his explosion but also got behind him!
Indeed, just as Deidara thought of this,
Feng Xu's cold voice, as well as the whoosh of a fist, came over.
"Patrick, it's too late for you to run now."
As the words fell,
In mid-air, Deidara's peripheral vision was already filled by a green-golden-red tri-colored fist!
Then came a terrifying force from the side of his face.
Bang!!!
In an instant, Deidara's head was directly punched through by Feng Xu's fist!
His entire body also quickly turned white after the fist passed through, transforming into a white humanoid clay!
It was an explosive clay substitute!
"You fell for it, un!"
Deidara, who had been substituted to the ground below,
Looked up, excitedly making the detonation hand sign.
"Hah…"
Halfway through shouting "Hah," Deidara suddenly realized that Feng Xu in the sky twisted his lower body and then disappeared.
Immediately after, he felt his vision go black.
Then, a sensation like the sole of a shoe came from his upturned face.
"Waaahhh!!!"
The immense force instantly threw his body backward.
The force, which nearly crushed his nose bridge and cheekbones, made him scream in agony.
Feng Xu, who had activated the Fourth Gate, with green, golden, and red Chakra emanating from his body,
Had, at some unknown point, stepped on Deidara's face, forcefully pushing his head into the mud.
He also interrupted Deidara's action of detonating the clay clone.
Only Deidara's lower body, like an inverted scallion, kept convulsing and twitching towards the sky.
Sasori, seeing this scene from a distance, showed an expression of "as expected."
"This powerful taijutsu combined with terrifying Tailed Beast Chakra, we are simply not on the same level as him."
Sasori could now confirm that Feng Xu was at least an elite Kage-level existence, like Konan.
He even suspected that Feng Xu hadn't joined after being beaten up like them.
Instead, he had beaten up Konan, or fought with Leader Pain, and then forcibly joined!
Only then would he not fear Pain and directly demand them as his subordinates!
Sasori, feeling that he had seen through everything, opened a scroll with his broken limbs and summoned a puppet body.
Then, his Chakra core popped out again and entered the intact puppet body.
As the Chakra core entered, the puppet body's appearance quickly transformed into Sasori's youthful look.
Just as Sasori finished changing bodies,
Feng Xu arrived, carrying Deidara, whose face was swollen and twisted, still bleeding profusely.
"This kind of art… this momentary power and beauty…"
Deidara, seeing his art crushed once again, muttered to himself in a daze.
Sasori ignored Deidara, who was wavering about his explosive art.
Instead, he looked at Feng Xu, and the Chakra fox tails that were even harder than the puppets he made.
"You said that if I become your subordinate, you'll give me Tailed Beast Chakra. Are you talking about the high-quality golden-red Chakra on your body?"
"That's right." Feng Xu threw Deidara to the ground and closed the Fourth Gate, the Gate of Pain.
With his current physique, the Shadow Clone he created could only withstand the activation of the Fourth Gate.
And the time was only about one minute; exceeding that would cause the Shadow Clone to collapse.
"The Tailed Beast Chakra I give you will be of this quality, but the quantity won't be as much as mine."
"You'll give us Tailed Beast Chakra!" Deidara, who had been dazed on the ground, suddenly perked up and scrambled to his feet.
"You're going to give us your art?!"
But as soon as he finished shouting, Deidara lowered his head, an expression of struggle on his face.
"No, I cannot be attracted by others' art, I cannot betray my art!"
Deidara had been attracted by Itachi's Mangekyo before.
Although he was now attracted by Feng Xu's Nine-Tailed Chakra again,
He quickly snapped out of it and reaffirmed his resolve.
"This is not art at all, I don't acknowledge it, and I don't need it… Only fleeting brilliance is true art!!!"
