Chapter 213: Hanzo the Demigod
The pinnacle of the ninja world—Hanzo!
"Do you know why the world calls me a demigod!?" Hanzo summoned his poisonous sickle-axe, waving it as he laughed wildly. "Because ever since Hashirama died, I have been the ninja closest to being a god!"
"In the entire ninja world, not a single person can face me head-on!"
"Wind Release—Poison Dragon Jutsu!" Hanzo seemed to require no hand seals at all. Opening his mouth, a terrifying purple poison dragon coiled out, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged toward Li Jiexuan.
"What kind of jutsu is this?" Li Jiexuan's eyes widened in shock. In the anime, he had never seen Hanzo use such a technique.
In fact, although Hanzo was known as a demigod, his appearances in the anime were few, and the number of jutsu he revealed was even fewer…
He didn't even have a proper death scene—only that he was killed by the Six Paths of Pain. Because of this, Li Jiexuan had inevitably misunderstood Hanzo's true strength.
"ROAR!!!"
The mighty poison dragon was lifelike. As it twisted and swam through the air, it even seemed to breathe faintly like a living creature, exhaling wisps of purple toxic smoke.
"Sizzle, sizzle~" Wherever the toxic smoke touched vegetation, it melted it away. When it touched the ground, it corroded massive poisonous pits. When it touched birds and beasts, it left behind nothing but piles of white bones…
"Dragon Chidori!"
Seeing this, how could Li Jiexuan dare let the poison dragon get close? He swung the Kusanagi Sword, attempting to disperse it with lightning. Unfortunately, after the pale lightning faded, the poison dragon still hovered in the sky—only its form slightly loosened…
Lightning was ineffective!
"ROAR!"
The attacked poison dragon seemed even more enraged. Roaring, it lunged at Li Jiexuan, opening its mouth and spewing out purplish-red poisonous flames like a true dragon!
Such an exquisite jutsu actually combined three types of chakra so perfectly, even allowing free transformation. This was perhaps the true foundation of Hanzo's so-called demigod strength—far beyond the little that was shown in the anime!
"Dragon Sage Mode, Eight Gates—Gate of View, open!" Only by activating both techniques at once did Li Jiexuan rely on his speed to barely evade the blast of poisonous dragon flames.
"Not bad speed!"
Hanzo sneered as he opened his mouth wide again. "In that case, what if I add another one?"
"Wind Release—Poison Dragon Jutsu!" Another purple poison dragon slowly took shape. Together with the first, one on the left and one on the right, they flanked Li Jiexuan. Even more terrifying was Hanzo's relaxed expression—two poison dragons clearly weren't his limit!
However…
Li Jiexuan was no weakling either!
"Since lightning can't destroy the poison dragon, then try this!" The temperature around Li Jiexuan dropped rapidly, frost even forming on his eyebrows. "Ice Release—Ice Age!"
A terrifying stream of freezing air burst forth, freezing everything in its path—plants, rivers, land, and even the air itself!
"Crack, crack—" The two poison dragons were frozen midair by the icy power, turning into exquisite ice sculptures…
"Hah!"
Li Jiexuan panted as he lowered his hands. Hanzo's poison dragons were powerful, but after all the pills he had taken, his Ice Release was nothing to be trifled with either!
But before Li Jiexuan could catch his breath, the poison dragons within the ice sculptures began to blur, as if turning into grease, slowly seeping out from the ice…
"This…"
Seeing Li Jiexuan at a disadvantage, Hanzo burst into laughter. "Li Jiexuan, my poison is like oil—mere ice can't seal it!"
Before long, the two poison dragons seeped out of the ice. Aside from being slightly smaller, they were still as lively as ever!
"This is really troublesome…"
