Chapter 102: The Gold-Devouring Monster—Kakuzu
My territory—means you listen to me~
The curse mark's second stage transformed Hyuga Yizhen into a demon. His once pale, slender arms became grotesque and powerful, and the demonic wings sprouting from his back beat lightly, stirring up small whirlwinds…
"What kind of monster is this!?"
Tu Ba's eyes flew wide open as he swung his other arm, smashing it viciously toward Hyuga Yizhen.
Smack!
A massive demonic hand clamped tightly around Tu Ba's wrist. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Now—start spinning!"
Hyuga Yizhen seemed to have completely fallen in love with spinning. Gripping both of Tu Ba's arms, he began to whirl wildly…
"Damn it—let go of me!" The intense centrifugal force brought on a violent urge to vomit, making Tu Ba feel like his heart was about to be hurled out of his mouth…
"Oh? As you wish!"
Hyuga Yizhen suddenly released him. Tu Ba shot toward the ground at a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour.
Boom!
Against such brutal force, the earthen armor on Tu Ba's body offered no protection whatsoever. His neck folded at a grotesque angle, his spine shattered—he was dead beyond any doubt…
In the end, he was only a ninja who had fallen in with bandits. His strength simply wasn't worth mentioning.
After killing all the enemies, Hyuga Yizhen planted his hands on his hips and laughed excitedly. "I really am strong! These guys were no match for me at all!"
But before his words could fade, the ground suddenly exploded. A pitch-black, octopus-like tentacle shot out and wrapped tightly around Hyuga Yizhen's ankle. At the same time, from the shadow of a rock stepped a man dressed entirely in black, his face masked, with a slash across his forehead protector—the mark of betrayal!
"Finally took the bait—the gold-devouring monster, Kakuzu!"
Seeing this, Li Jiexuan couldn't help curling his lips into a cold smile, as the system's task quietly changed.
Mission triggered: Kakuzu's Pursuit
Mission details: Escape from Kakuzu's pursuit. Survival is victory.
Mission reward: 5,000 points.
Five thousand points just for getting away—but what if he killed him?
Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes.
Mission triggered: Shatter Immortality! (Epic Mission)
Mission details: Kill the legendary immortal, Kakuzu.
Mission reward: 50,000 points, one Kage-tier Treasure Chest!
The reason Li Jiexuan had waited here for so many days was precisely for this system bounty on the immortal gold-devouring monster! Fifty thousand points and a Kage-tier chest were enough to push him up another entire level!
"What is this thing?"
As Li Jiexuan was thinking, the instinctive Hyuga Yizhen reached out with his hand toward the Earth Grudge Fear tentacle gripping his ankle.
"Don't—!"
Before Li Jiexuan could finish speaking, that idiot Hyuga Yizhen got his arm wrapped up by the Earth Grudge Fear as well.
Earth Grudge Fear was Takigakure's strongest secret technique. Once entangled by it, breaking free in a short time was extremely difficult!
"Hehehe…"
Kakuzu's chilling laugh sent shivers down the spine. "In that case, you won't be able to dodge!"
"Wind Style—Pressure Damage!"
As a bounty assassin, Kakuzu was nothing like those trash-talking types. The moment he seized an opening, he struck without hesitation.
Without forming hand seals, the wind-attribute mask moved like a living creature, sliding to Kakuzu's chest before unleashing a gigantic tornado with terrifying penetrating power. The monstrous gale swept away everything in its path, even boring through solid rock!
"It's over!"
Entangled by Earth Grudge Fear, Hyuga Yizhen couldn't escape in time—and if he took this hit, he was dead for sure…
Just as despair surged in Hyuga Yizhen's heart, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Snake—Boar—Dog!"
"Earth Style—Earth Flow Wall!"
In less than half a second, a solid stone wall thundered up from the ground, firmly blocking the Pressure Damage tornado outside…
