Boom!!!
Heaven and earth changed color!
An invisible pressure erupted from Yang Jiu!
It wasn't Chakra, it wasn't lightning, but pure King's Might from the depths of the Soul!
Deidara's movements instantly froze!
He felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, suffocating him, stiffening his limbs, and making his heart beat so wildly it felt as if it would leap out of his chest!
Hallucinations began to appear before his eyes—a giant golden wolf that covered the sky was opening its massive maw, ready to swallow him whole!
"This... what is this..."
His voice was incredibly hoarse, his pupils had shrunk to the size of pinpoints, and his face was as pale as paper!
His hands were trembling!
His legs were weakening!
His pride and joy, the Clay Buddha Statue, disintegrated ten meters away from Yang Jiu—not from an attack, but because his Chakra had completely spiraled out of control!
Tobi's situation wasn't any better.
His Kamui sneak attack came to a grinding halt just one meter away from Yang Jiu.
It wasn't that he wanted to stop.
It was that his body simply couldn't move!
That pressure was too terrifying, too domineering, as if it were telling him—
Kneel.
You are not worthy to stand before me.
Tobi had lived for many years and experienced countless life-and-death situations, seeing numerous powerhouses like Uchiha Madara and the Fourth Mizukage...
But never had anyone made him feel such intense fear through pure Aura alone!
It was an instinct from the depths of his Bloodline!
The submission of a biological being when facing a higher level of existence!
His mask was trembling!
His Sharingan was spinning wildly, desperately trying to find a way to break the pressure!
But there was no way!
This pressure was simply unsolvable!
"This... this guy..."
His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
Three seconds later.
The pressure slowly dissipated.
Deidara's legs gave out, and he fell to his knees, gasping for air, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.
His mind was a total blank.
Only one thought remained—
Monster.
This wolf is a monster.
Tobi also stumbled back several steps, his single eye filled with horror.
He stared fixedly at Yang Jiu, as if seeing this giant wolf for the first time.
Yang Jiu looked at their state, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his golden eyes.
Then, he spoke indifferently:
"Just a warm-up."
"Can't take it already?"
Deidara and Tobi exchanged a glance.
Both moved at the same time!
Deidara's hands formed signs frantically as he leapt into the air, with vast amounts of clay pouring out from him!
"C4 Garuda!"
He tore open his shirt, and countless tiny clay bombs flew out from his body, swarming toward Yang Jiu like a cloud of bees!
Those bombs were so small they were almost invisible, yet they could enter a living being's body and detonate from within!
At the same time, Tobi's figure vanished instantly!
Space distorted!
In the next second, he appeared behind Yang Jiu, his right hand forming a claw as he lunged fiercely toward Yang Jiu's heart!
The sneak attack enhanced by Kamui, combined with Deidara's carpet bombing, was a killing blow!
Yang Jiu stood his ground.
He didn't dodge.
With just a single thought.
Boom!!!
Golden lightning surged from his body, instantly forming a lightning barrier around him!
The moment those tiny clay bombs touched the barrier, they all detonated!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
A series of explosions erupted around Yang Jiu, and the flames completely engulfed him!
Tobi's claw pierced into the flames—
He missed!
"Above!"
Deidara's shout rang out.
Tobi looked up abruptly.
Yang Jiu had already appeared fifty meters above him, with golden lightning dancing wildly around his body!
"Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Roar!"
Roar—!!!
A massive golden thunder Dragon roared as it emerged from him, diving down toward Tobi!
Tobi's pupils contracted!
Kamui activated!
His body instantly entered a state of Intangibility, and the golden thunder Dragon passed right through him, slamming into the ground with a thunderous crash!
Boom!!!
A giant crater fifty meters in diameter was blasted into the ground!
Tobi had just breathed a sigh of relief—
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
Countless golden lightning bolts surged from the aftermath of the thunder Dragon's explosion, instantly covering an area of hundreds of meters!
His body was still in a state of Intangibility, but the lightning was too dense, too violent, and lasted too long.
A small portion of the electrical arcs struck his physical form the moment his Intangibility ended!
"Ugh—!"
Tobi let out a muffled groan, his entire body paralyzed for an instant!
That instant was enough.
Yang Jiu's figure appeared before him once again!
One claw!
Boom!!!
Tobi was sent flying like a cannonball, carving a hundred-meter-long trench into the ground!
His mask shattered completely, revealing the scarred face beneath.
He struggled to get up, only to find that half of his body was numb and his right arm hung limply at his side.
"Tobi!"
Deidara shouted, his hands forming signs once more!
"C3: No. 18!"
A massive Clay Buddha Statue rose from behind him, larger than any he had created before!
"Die!"
The Clay Buddha Statue opened its arms and lunged toward Yang Jiu!
Yang Jiu didn't even turn his head.
Boom!!!
Another pillar of golden lightning was generated and fired, blasting the Clay Buddha Statue into fragments!
The explosion erupted mid-air, and the flames soared into the sky!
Deidara was blown back by the shockwave, slamming heavily onto the ground and coughing up a large amount of blood!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
He struggled to climb up, finding that at least three of his ribs were broken and his left arm was twisted at a bizarre angle.
Tobi also stood back up.
He knelt on one knee, gasping for breath, his Sharingan staring fixedly at Yang Jiu.
"Deidara."
Deidara gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stand.
He pulled out his last bit of clay and pressed it to his chest.
Tobi's Sharingan spun wildly, and the space in his palm distorted to the extreme.
Yang Jiu looked at them, a flash of appreciation in his golden eyes.
"Still able to move?"
He smiled.
"Not bad."
In the next second—
Both of them attacked at the same time!
Deidara tore open his shirt, and all the remaining Chakra in his body poured out, turning into a sky full of tiny bombs!
Those bombs were no longer just swarming toward Yang Jiu; they covered the entire sky!
There was nowhere to hide!
Tobi waved his right hand, and Kamui activated at full power, distorting space into a massive vortex that attempted to suck Yang Jiu in!
At the same time, his own body began to distort—
He was going to use this final strike alongside Deidara to decide the battle!
Yang Jiu stood his ground.
He didn't dodge.
His body instantly transformed into a streak of golden lightning!
He wasn't running away.
Instead—
He was diffusing!
Boom—!!!
Countless golden lightning bolts surged wildly from him, diffusing in all directions with him as the center!
The lightning was so dense and violent that the very air was burning wherever it passed!
The moment Deidara's tiny bombs touched the lightning, they were all detonated!
But the light of the explosions was completely swallowed by the golden lightning!
Tobi's Kamui vortex began to distort violently as it came into contact with that raging lightning!
"This... this is impossible!"
Tobi's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints!
Space itself was trembling!
In the next second.
The golden lightning struck the two of them like a tsunami!
Boom—!!!
