ACSP: Chapter 51: I Said, You Can't Take Zabuza's Corpse!
Can't help but get serious at last?
Jiang Chen looked up at the Zabuza slashing toward him, a cold light suddenly erupting in his eyes.
He possessed Malice Perception and could clearly sense the truest enmity and killing intent in the depths of everyone's heart.
At this moment, he had already discovered that the Zabuza leaping from high above, slashing at him with the kubikiribocho, was the original body.
The other figures were merely Water Clones used for a feint.
"I'll leave those Water Clones to you..."
Jiang Chen drew the steel sword from his back. After speaking to Zhang Xiaolin and the others, he flickered out and collided directly with the kubikiribocho in Zabuza's hand.
—Clang!
A deafening sound of clashing metal rang out.
Although Zabuza's strike was heavy and powerful,
Jiang Chen now possessed the Six Paths attributes, and his physical strength was no longer what it used to be.
Not only did the opponent gain no advantage from this strike,
but he was instead instantly sent flying back by the seemingly ordinary steel sword in Jiang Chen's hand.
"What's with this kid?"
"He has the same Silent Killing Technique as I do, and this terrifying strength..."
"Even if he's from the Uchiha Clan, it's impossible for him to be this strong, right?"
Zabuza landed with his blade, his face showing an unprecedented look of gravity.
And in the next second.
His gaze suddenly fell upon Zhang Xiaolin and the others.
There's only one powerful one among this group of brats.
Then I'll start with the others first.
Zabuza moved his body, preparing to charge at Zhang Xiaolin and her group.
But just then.
A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him:
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
"Nani?"
Zabuza's face changed drastically. He gripped the kubikiribocho with a backhand and swept it behind him without hesitation.
However, before the kubikiribocho could descend,
a massive force struck his waist.
Immediately after.
His body was kicked into the air, completely out of control.
"It's over."
Jiang Chen stomped hard on the ground, his body soaring into the air like a sharp arrow, closing in on Zabuza.
In a duel between experts, victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.
Zabuza's distraction just now had created a perfect attacking opportunity for him.
While soaring toward Zabuza, Jiang Chen's right hand had already condensed a ball of dazzling lightning.
—Lightning Release: Chidori!
"Damn it, how is this kid's Body Flicker Technique so fast?"
Zabuza broke into a cold sweat.
Sensing the Lightning Style Chakra pressing in from behind, he hurriedly threw the kubikiribocho horizontally while his hands flipped rapidly, forming a series of complex hand signs.
—Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
In the next second.
The surrounding moisture instantly converged, rapidly condensing into a massive water dragon in the air.
—Roar!
The dragon's roar shook heaven and earth!
Carrying a terrifying momentum, the water dragon roared as it crashed toward Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen did not retreat; instead, he advanced.
"A mere B-rank Water Release dares to block me?"
The moment the water dragon attacked,
he swung the Chidori in his hand, giving it a light forward swipe.
—Sizzle!
As a flash of lightning exploded,
that imposing water dragon was torn apart on the spot, exploding into a sky full of water spray.
The Water Dragon Bullet Technique that Zabuza had performed with full seals was actually shattered in a single encounter.
Then, Jiang Chen passed through the curtain of water, continuing his pursuit of Zabuza with the Chidori in hand.
Just as the Chidori was about to pierce through Zabuza's body,
suddenly.
A violent sound of wind breaking came from his ear.
Jiang Chen looked sideways.
He saw that the kubikiribocho, which Zabuza had just thrown away, was actually spinning and flying back rapidly from another direction.
And the position where the blade flew in for a horizontal slash was exactly between him and Zabuza.
To avoid that rapidly spinning kubikiribocho,
Jiang Chen could only force his body to twist, spinning twice rapidly in the air.
It was in this gap
that Zabuza had already gripped the kubikiribocho again.
Using the momentum of the kubikiribocho flying back, he turned his body in mid-air and slashed fiercely towards him.
"As expected of the Demon of the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza Momochi. Even when pushed to a dead end, his battle awareness is still so outstanding..."
Zabuza's ability to adapt on the fly made Jiang Chen look at him in a new light.
It seemed that what could be learned in intermediate secret realms was indeed more than what could be learned in beginner secret realms.
Those guys who only thought about using traps and explosive tags to 'kill' Zabuza might never be able to experience this in their entire lives.
Jiang Chen thrust out the Chidori to collide with the kubikiribocho Zabuza slashed down, erupting in a dazzling flash of electricity.
The next moment.
"—Clang!"
With a crisp sound spreading,
the kubikiribocho in Zabuza's hand was actually knocked flying away.
However, its block also caused the Chidori in Jiang Chen's hand to deviate slightly.
The Chidori, which should have pierced Zabuza's heart, was now only stuck in his chest.
"Cough~"
Zabuza spat out a mouthful of blood, the light in his eyes beginning to fade.
Jiang Chen knew the other party wasn't completely dead yet and was about to take out a Kunai to finish him off.
But just then,
several steel needles suddenly shot through the air at an amazing speed and stuck directly into Zabuza's neck.
The inertial force from the steel needles knocked Zabuza's body down from mid-air.
Then, a Hidden Mist Anbu wearing an animal mask appeared out of thin air, caught Zabuza, and carried him on his shoulder.
"Everyone, Zabuza Momochi is a rogue Ninja of our Hidden Mist Village. I am a Hidden Mist Anbu responsible for tracking him down. Thank you for your help this time in solving this big trouble for our Hidden Mist Village."
"However, Zabuza's body involves many secrets of our Hidden Mist Village. I must take his body back and hand it over to the Fourth Mizukage-sama for disposal..."
After saying that, the Hidden Mist Anbu was about to use a movement technique to leave with Zabuza.
Zhang Xiaolin and the others had heard about this secret realm's plot and knew that Zabuza's body would be taken away by a Hidden Mist Anbu after his death, so they didn't stop him.
But at this time,
Jiang Chen suddenly flashed and appeared beside that Hidden Mist Anbu, reaching out to stop him: "You can't take Zabuza's body."
"Why?"
The Hidden Mist Anbu turned to look at Jiang Chen: "The Five Great Ninja Villages had an agreement at the end of the Third Ninja World War. The ownership of a rogue Ninja's body belongs only to their own Village, and Ninjas from other Villages cannot seize it. Do you want to violate the wartime agreement between the Five Great Ninja Villages?"
Jiang Chen expressionlessly raised the steel sword in his hand: "I said, you can't take Zabuza's body. Can't you understand human speech?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
a dazzling current of electricity immediately spread from his hand, instantly wrapping around the blade of the steel sword.
In an instant,
that seemingly ordinary steel sword suddenly turned into a Chakra blade surrounded by electric light.
Chakra nature transformation can cover a weapon with lightning-attribute Chakra, thereby increasing the weapon's lethality and destructiveness.
This was a new skill he unlocked from Six Paths Sasuke after raising his level to 21.
