It was late at night, and the clouds were as dark as ink. The cold wind howled miserably, echoing across the wilderness.
With a thousand arms, the wooden golem was like a giant Buddha standing on the ground. No matter how strong the wind blew, it remained unmoved. Its thousand arms waved in unison, and its mountain-like fists even brought about waves of sharp whistles. Everything was ready, just waiting to launch that thunderous attack.
White Zetsu stood on top of the wooden golem, his senses locked onto Aoyama. This time, he would not let him escape. As long as Aoyama dared to show himself, he would let him know what it meant to be destroyed.
At the bottom of the sinkhole, a wide crack suddenly appeared, and a green light shot up to the sky.
"Go to hell!"
Bai Zue roared, and the wooden golem under his feet began to move. Its thousand arms punched out at the same time, and thousands of fists that were as big as small hills smashed down with a sharp ear-piercing whistling sound.
At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared under the wooden golem's feet. Her footsteps were light and graceful, and she approached the foot of the wooden golem like a cat. Compared to the huge wooden golem, Zi was like a small ant.
She took out a military ration pill and threw it into her mouth, and pressed it under her tongue. Then, she stretched out her right hand and pressed it against the foot of the wooden golem. Her eyes flashed with a hint of madness as she listened to the loud explosion of the thousand arms. Her red lips parted slightly, and she spat out a few words.
"Cremation."
The crimson flame lit up the pitch-black night sky. The blade-shaped flame hacked up from the bottom of the wooden golem's feet and cut the wooden golem vertically in half. The crimson flame blade pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, forming a cloud vortex that was visible to the naked eye. The color of the sky changed.
White Zetsu, who was standing on top of the wooden golem, was stunned. The explosive blade-shaped flame directly destroyed him. In the face of such a domineering attack, he was like an ant. The flame burned his body, and he turned into ashes that drifted in the air.
The two halves of the wooden giant were swallowed by the raging fire and fell to the ground with two loud booms. Two burning mountains appeared in the boundless wilderness.
After five to six seconds, the saber-shaped flame exhausted its last bit of energy and slowly dissipated into the air.
"Wow!" Standing outside the sinkhole, Shuiyue's mouth formed an 'O' shape. Her desire to complain was overwhelmed by the surprise in her heart. She just stared blankly at the night sky.
Not only Shuiyue, but everyone who had returned to the surface was also shocked. They all stood in place as if they had lost their souls, looking at the dark clouds in the distance. The huge cloud vortex had not disappeared yet.
Aoyama opened up two tunnels underground. One of them led to the bottom of the sinkhole, while the other one was more winding, but it led to the outside of the sinkhole. In other words, it was out of the Wooden Golem's attack range.
Aoyama rushed out from the bottom of the sinkhole and attracted the attack of the wooden giant. Thousands of punches fell, and the sound of the punches shook the wilderness. In an instant, Aoyama was blown into the tiniest of particles.
Because of Remnant Ice Humanoid's protection, Aoyama reappeared in the air in an instant. His face was a little pale. The feeling of his body being smashed into pieces really made him want to die. Although he was safe in the end, the feeling of that moment still lingered.
However, when he saw the blade-shaped flame soaring into the sky, he ignored the lingering pain. Aoyama smiled. The plan was going smoothly. According to the original plan, Aoyama would attract White Zetsu's attention, and Azuz would take the opportunity to attack. The blade-shaped flame was the proof of success.
He was betting that White Zetsu would not care about Azuz's approach, but would instead launch the fiercest attack. That way, Azuz would have a chance. He was also betting that Azuz would be able to use Cremation successfully. After all, he had never used it completely before. It was just a guess.
In the end, he won the bet. He won a complete victory, and even White Zetsu's body was completely annihilated.
Flapping its green ice wings, the eight Void Dragons bared their fangs and brandished their claws, swallowing the natural energy. Gekko's smile disappeared as he sensed Izu's weak chakra fluctuation. It was as if she was a candle in the wind, on the verge of death.
Aoyama's face darkened as he rushed out like lightning. Under the illumination of the flames, he left a trail of green light behind him. He found Azuz lying on the ground, unconscious. Her right arm was charred and withered, still emitting black smoke. Even her bones were burnt to a crisp.
Cremation was a destructive move that Azuz developed with Aoyama's help. Sacrificing an arm as a sacrifice and exhausting all of her Chakra was the only way to use this move.
She held a syringe filled with a green liquid tightly in her left hand. Looking at her, it was obvious that after using all of her strength, Azuz had run out of energy. She struggled to inject the potion, but to no avail. In the end, she fainted completely.
"Damn it, I should still be able to make it." Aoyama's face twitched. He raised his sword and chopped off Azuz's withered right arm. Then, he took the syringe and pierced it into Azuz's right shoulder, injecting the potion into her body.
"Hurry up, hurry up. It must work. Make it work." Yue Hua muttered to herself as she stared anxiously at Zi's broken arm. Amidst her muttering, the wound finally began to change. The broken bone began to grow, the white bone was reconstructed, and the flesh and blood grew. Tender red granules wrapped around the white bone as they grew. In just a few short breaths, the right arm had recovered to its original state.
"Phew …" Aoyama let out a long sigh. He felt much more relaxed. Kota's ability wasn't just for show. Based on his ideas and the various human experiments he had obtained from Orochi Maru, Kota's painstaking research had finally succeeded in creating the Flesh Tonifying Potion.
Aoyama remembered the miraculous potion from his previous life. It could regenerate severed limbs. The captain of the twelfth division, Nie Mayuri, used the Flesh Tonifying Potion to chop off an arm and use it as firewood.
Of course, the Flesh Tonifying Potion developed by Kota naturally had several flaws. Firstly, it was time-limited. It could only be used for a short period of time at the beginning of the injury. Secondly, it was very expensive to produce. It required a huge amount of protein. Every tube cost a lot of money.
Putting these flaws aside, the Flesh Tonifying Potion could be regarded as a weapon that could turn the tide of a battle. For a ninja who fought fiercely and frequently, this tube of Flesh Tonifying Potion was definitely a treasure.
Aoyama carried Azuz, who was still unconscious. He flapped his wings and flew towards where Kota and the others were. After finding Kota and the others, he handed Azuz over to them.
"Kota, I'll leave her to you. Take good care of Azuz." Aoyama reminded Kota. He still had things to do. The ultimate goal of this operation hadn't been achieved yet.
