When Hoodlum saw Nangong Zhe's sword slash across his neck, his throat was transferred to his body. Just as Hoodlum was about to open his mouth to escape, Nangong Zhe directly slashed at his shoulder joint. Nangong Zhe's sword was extremely fast, so Hoodlum could only restrain himself and redirect Nangong Zhe's attack.
Limbs, joints, internal organs, and any other fatal or serious weakness of the human body were all attacked by Nangong Zhe's sword. Hoodlum didn't have a chance to speak at all. He could only passively move a part of his body to avoid being hit. Just looking at the red Heaven's Calamity Sword in Nangong Zhe's hand, Hoodlum already felt great pressure.
Nangong Zhe, who was frantically swinging his sword, completely ignored Hoodlum's predicament. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying himself. The internal energy and sword energy covering the Heaven's Retribution Sword started to dissipate bit by bit, causing the originally ferocious Heaven's Retribution Sword to return to its original dark and simple appearance. Although the internal energy and sword energy were dispersed, Hoodlum didn't know why, but he felt that Nangong Zhe's sword had become even more ferocious.
The current state of the two of them was extremely comical. Hoodlum was like a wooden puppet, standing in a daze on the spot. Because his joints were constantly being attacked by Nangong Zhe, he couldn't exert any strength. Nangong Zhe's sword was originally very fast, and it was as if the entire sky was filled with the afterimages of his sword. Smoke and dust surged around Nangong Zhe, making him look very imposing. But now, it was as if he had lost all of his strength. His sword danced very slowly, but one could faintly see that Nangong Zhe's arm had transformed into several afterimages that attacked different parts of Hoodlum's body.
As the one being attacked, Hoodlum naturally knew that it wasn't that Nangong Zhe's speed had slowed down, but that his speed was too fast. It was beyond the range of what could be seen with the naked eye. The arm and the Heaven's Retribution Sword that could be seen with the naked eye were the result of countless afterimages overlapping.
Everything seemed to be in a stalemate as time passed minute by minute. Nangong Zhe didn't seem to be affected, but Hoodlum didn't seem to be as confident as before. Suddenly, Hoodlum gathered all the Chakra that he could control and released it.
The shockwave from the Chakra forced Nangong Zhe back by half a step. Hoodlum also took advantage of this opportunity to absorb his body into a spatial vortex and appear far away from Nangong Zhe.
Spatial Ninjutsu … Previously, Nangong Zhe wasn't able to distinguish what kind of Ninjutsu Hoodlum used to avoid his attacks. However, after attacking for so long, Nangong Zhe was able to detect spatial fluctuations. In order to avoid Nangong Zhe's pursuit, Hoodlum skillfully used a spatial Ninjutsu that allowed him to appear in another place.
More importantly, Nangong Zhe wasn't able to discover Hoodlum's method of avoiding his attacks, but he discovered a possible weakness of Hoodlum's Ninjutsu. This weakness was very obvious, and that was time!
One must know that when Nangong Zhe and Hoodlum were fighting just now, the two of them were actually in a strange stalemate. If Hoodlum could continue using his ninjutsu, then he would naturally be able to continue this strange stalemate. However, Hoodlum's mentality began to change, and he seemed to be very unwilling to continue this stalemate. He directly compressed the Chakra in his body and released it.
Compressing Chakra and releasing it wasn't a simple matter. To do so, not only did he have to have extreme control over his own Chakra, but he also had to bear the possibility of the violent Chakra constantly destroying his body. Although Hoodlum looked calm, Nangong Zhe felt that he was just putting up a strong front. It was very likely that Hoodlum's body had already suffered internal injuries.
"Yama … I know the purpose of your visit, and it's definitely because of the Sanbi. Although I don't know what you're trying to do with the Sanbi, I don't want to care. Today's battle between you and me can be considered a draw, but in the future, we will naturally have a different victor! "
After saying that, Hoodlum's figure disappeared from Nangong Zhe's vision.
4 minutes 37 seconds … Nangong Zhe silently remembered this number in his heart. This was the time it took for Hoodlum to condense Chakra and break free from his attacks. Hoodlum's limit must be around this time. This kind of troublesome ability must be treated seriously. Nangong Zhe felt that he would definitely have a battle with Hoodlum who belonged to the Akatsuki.
After quietly keeping Hoodlum's matter in his heart, Nangong Zhe walked to the table where Hoodlum was sitting. He picked up the scroll and hurriedly skimmed through it. After that, he seemed to have found some useful information and began to carefully read it.
… …
Outside the Akatsuki's secret camp, Hoodlum and Zetsu were standing together looking at Nangong Zhe's camp. Zetsu was puzzled as he asked Hoodlum:
"Why didn't you deal with this guy? Although it seemed like you didn't have the strength to retaliate, but I know that as long as you're willing to pay a small price, you can definitely kill this alien ninja who cultivates internal energy. This guy, I feel that we will definitely have to face a formidable opponent in the future! "
Hoodlum glanced at Zetsu who was standing beside him and said with a bit of ridicule:
"No, no, no … he still has his own value. Our goal has never been to eliminate dissidents, but to collect tailed beasts to complete our plan. Although Nangong Zhe is indeed troublesome, but if we look at the long term, we will know that there will definitely be some differences between this Nangong Zhe and Windstorm Watergate. Originally, they appear to be united but are actually divided, and it won't be long before they shed all pretense of cordiality. When the time comes, we just have to use a little bit of our methods, and Windstorm Watergate and Nangong Zhe will definitely have a battle! The battle between the two of them was also a battle between the Blood-Clad Pavilion and Konoha. When the time comes, we will just sit back and reap the benefits, wouldn't it be more worthwhile than fighting to the death? "
Finished speaking, Hoodlum directly turned around and didn't look at the dozens of Akatsuki members who had died in the camp.
