Chapter 239 Departure
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
A burst of rapid and crisp clapping suddenly rang out, echoing in the empty space. Each clap was enough to reveal the emotional fluctuations of the person clapping at that moment.
Momoshiki hovered silently in mid-air, his head slightly lowered, his gaze piercing as he looked down at Afei, who stood not far from him. Upon hearing Afei's speculation, his voice was calm yet slightly deep: "Truly a brilliant speculation..."
Upon hearing Momoshiki's seemingly approving words, Afei's expression instantly turned serious, as if shrouded in an invisible shadow. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed, and at the same time, a fine layer of cold sweat involuntarily seeped out of his cheeks.
He sensed a subtle shift in the atmosphere around him, as if an invisible hand was slowly tightening around him, bringing an indescribable pressure. At the same time, Momo's applause suddenly stopped, and a suffocating silence filled the air, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.
"How... um..." Afei was about to try to say something again, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body.
He was then violently propelled away by an irresistible repulsive force, tumbling several meters across the ground before crashing heavily to the ground. The violent impact caused his bones to creak and groan, leaving him almost unconscious.
Before he could recover from the sudden impact, he noticed that several ferocious dragon-headed, snake-bodied monsters suddenly materialized behind Momoshiki in mid-air, roaring and rushing towards Afei's location at great speed, as if to devour him completely.
Momoshiki looked down at the chaotic scene below, his expression unreadable. After a moment of silence, he spoke indifferently, "Although I am not very clear about who the Sage of Six Paths you speak of is, it is an immense insult to me to regard me as a descendant of a lowly being from your world."
"Such ignorant remarks really annoy me," he added coldly, his tone full of warning.
As soon as Momoshiki finished speaking, a black chakra rod emitting a faint glow suddenly appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he casually swung it, and the black rod shot off in one direction like an arrow.
The black chakra rods, carrying powerful chakra fluctuations, tore apart everything in their path, creating sonic booms.
A dull thud suddenly rang out. Tobi, who had just escaped by altering Momoshiki Inukai Kenmei's attack through the effect of Izanagi, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before he was once again pierced through the chest by a black chakra rod that Momoshiki had precisely thrown.
The black rod, carrying immense force, pierced through his body in an instant, causing Afei's body to shudder violently. Blood gushed from the wound like a fountain, instantly staining his robes crimson.
However, he did not fall down. His hands quickly formed a hand seal, and as he finished, the surrounding space began to distort. At the same time, his body began to recover rapidly. His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken muscles and skin regenerated together, as if time were flowing backward.
However, the three-tomoe Sharingan he used when he began to use Izanagi became slightly dim. The originally scarlet pupil now looked somewhat tired, and his eyes were slightly lowered.
Clearly, the effects of Izanagi wouldn't last much longer. He could feel the power gradually fading. Tobi knew very well that he had to resolve the current predicament as soon as possible, otherwise he would be completely unprotected once the effects of Izanagi disappeared.
Afei took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety and unease in his heart. He quickly placed his hand in front of him, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"
With a low shout, he used his divine power to distort the surrounding space and create a storm. Then he spat out a huge fire serpent, and the raging flames quickly condensed in front of him. With the help of the gale, the flames became even more violent, and the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot.
In response, Momoshiki simply opened his arms, and the giant fire serpent released by Tobi was drawn by Momoshiki's power and flew uncontrollably toward Momoshiki.
The fire serpent was drawn to the red Rinnegan in Momoshiki's palm the moment it approached him. The flames shrank rapidly and gradually disappeared into the Rinnegan.
As Momoshiki absorbed his own flames, Tobi seized this fleeting opportunity, swiftly forming a complex hand seal. This seal was his last resort for survival; though extremely dangerous, he had no other choice at that moment.
This method is tantamount to severing one's own spiritual body, forcibly separating consciousness from the current predicament. If successful, he might escape this calamity; but if there is any mishap, his spiritual body will suffer irreversible damage, and may even never recover.
The instant the seal was broken, Afei's pupils suddenly contracted violently as he endured immense pain. His mind felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a strong sense of dizziness overwhelmed him, making it almost impossible for him to remain conscious.
His body trembled involuntarily, and a low groan escaped his throat; the process was more painful than he had anticipated.
But soon, Momoshiki devoured the fire serpent created by Tobi, leaving not a single flame behind.
Upon seeing this, Afei's heart sank. However, he did not give up. Instead, he concentrated even more and accelerated the separation of his consciousness.
Fortunately, the monster in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him, as if it was enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.
Before long, Afei finally managed to reach the threshold of separating his consciousness, and his consciousness began to gradually separate from his current body.
Before completely breaking free, Afei's consciousness lingered on the slightly meaningful smile on Momoshiki's face.
