Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 548 - 36: The Terrified One Tail
Seeing this scene, Gaara’s pupils contracted, he waved one hand, and as a wave of yellow sand surged towards Deidara, his other hand aimed at Su Xiao.
"Sand Coffin."
Yellow sand rose from beneath Su Xiao’s feet, quickly climbing up his arm that held the knife.
Blue steel shadow energy enveloped Su Xiao’s knife-wielding arm, annihilating the Chakra within the sand, forcing Gaara to continue channeling Chakra to prevent the sand from dissipating.
A massive contractive and pulling force emanated from Su Xiao’s right arm, yet it couldn’t stop him from slowly slicing Temari’s throat.
"Scream, let him save you."
Su Xiao leaned his head close to Temari’s ear, Temari gritted her silver teeth, silent, feeling the demon whispering in her ear, simultaneously guessing Su Xiao’s intention. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Gaara, don’t worry about me, the enemy in the sky..."
Before Temari could finish shouting, Su Xiao gripped Temari’s left hand, causing her body to start to go limp.
Temari was Gaara’s sister, and now their sibling bond had been restored; Gaara would never watch Temari die.
"Hmph~"
Gaara’s jaw muscles bulged, beginning a contest of strength with Su Xiao.
"Sand Pillar."
A sand pillar rose beneath Su Xiao, launching him into the air, while simultaneously a wisp of yellow sand ensnared Temari, snatching her from the ’Soul Reaper’s’ grasp.
In mid-air, Temari gasped for air, her eyes filled with fear and hatred as she saw Su Xiao already launched away, perhaps leaving her with a shadow when meeting Su Xiao again in the future, just imagine what it feels like to have a blade slowly cutting through your throat.
Su Xiao was propelled into the air, his left hand forcefully retracted the Boundary Line below, Temari being rescued was his deliberate leniency, otherwise, Temari would have already died.
Did Su Xiao suddenly become merciful? Certainly not, his purpose in coming to the Sand Ninja Village wasn’t to kill how many Sand Shinobi, but to capture Jinchuriki.
Adjusting his balance in mid-air, a clay bird soared beneath his feet, carrying him straight into the high sky.
Gaara controlled the sand to place Temari on the ground, breathing a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, where are you looking during our fight?"
Deidara’s voice came, Gaara showing a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he had no choice; he had to save Temari.
"Boom!"
Bang!
Flames instantly engulfed Gaara, the sand exploded and splattered everywhere.
This was Su Xiao’s goal, to attract Gaara’s attention, creating an opportunity for Deidara, clearly, he succeeded, very successfully.
As the explosion flames receded, a slightly distorted sand ball floated in the air.
Su Xiao controlled the clay bird to fly near Deidara.
"How is it?"
"Directly hit the main body, One-Tail Jinchuriki is barely holding on, if I hadn’t held back, that last hit would’ve been fatal for him, after all, you bought me a lot of time, hm."
While Deidara spoke, he threw another clay bomb, he was supposed to have a tough battle with Gaara, but because Su Xiao created an opportunity, Deidara seized it and heavily injured Gaara, that’s real teamwork.
Bang, bang...
The sound of explosions reverberated through the Sand Ninja Village, but the Sand Shinobi weren’t idle, they rolled out large crossbows, shooting crossbow arrows wrapped with exploding talismans towards Su Xiao and Deidara,
Now the sky became more lively, like fireworks constantly sounding.
Su Xiao manipulated the clay bird to dodge the crossbow arrows, the windbreaker billowing in the air flows generated by the explosions.
Deidara had become a ’bomber’, aiming continuous bombardments at the sand ball where Gaara was.
A crossbow arrow shot towards Deidara, Su Xiao slashed out a blade aura, instantly slicing through the arrow, being relatively inexperienced in wielding blade aura in fierce battles had made Su Xiao less accustomed to using it.
Despite the rapid firing of crossbow arrows and the sweeping blade aura, no matter how dense the arrows from the Sand Shinobi were, they couldn’t do anything to Su Xiao and Deidara.
Bang.
Deidara threw his last clay bomb, and the floating sand ball nearby was tottering.
"I have to use the Eighteen Techniques now, hm."
Just as Deidara prepared to unleash a big move, Su Xiao was already controlling the clay bird, charging towards the sand ball.
"Leave it to me, the Eighteen Techniques are better used against the Sand Ninja Village."
Deidara hesitated for a moment and nodded, indeed a good choice.
Deidara flew high to avoid the crossbow arrows, leaving the Jinchuriki capture to Su Xiao, Gaara had already been bombed half to death.
The clay bird dashed toward the sand ball, Su Xiao leaped from it, directly jumping towards the sand ball in mid-air.
Several sand spikes emerged on the already tattered sand ball, but due to Gaara’s severe injury, the spikes moved very slowly.
Before the sand spikes could stab Su Xiao, he had already slashed out.
Clang.
The sand spikes were cut off, the Chakra within them annihilated, fine sand scattered.
Su Xiao stood atop the sand ball, spikes emerging from under his feet, he paid no heed to the spikes, driving his knife into the sand ball instead.
A muffled grunt echoed from inside the sand ball, that stab pierced Gaara.
Su Xiao drew Dragon Slash partially out, dragging it across to carve a circular opening at the top of the sand ball.
Moonlight poured into the pitch-black sand ball, inside it, Gaara was covered in blood, unable to stand, yet still lifted his head.
Su Xiao’s face came into Gaara’s view, Gaara tried to raise his hand to manipulate the sand, but Blue steel shadow energy rampaged within him.
"Hello, One-Tail Jinchuriki."
A smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face, revealing several white teeth.
Gaara’s heart skipped a beat, a feeling named fear arose.
Su Xiao jumped into the sand ball, if someone observed carefully, they would notice a faint blue smoke wafting from his left hand, along with an exceedingly terrifying suction.
Core of Devour: Lv.MAX (Active Skill)
Skill Effect: Capable of absorbing high-level biological energy to nourish Blue steel shadow energy, upgrading the level and quality of Blue steel shadow based on the absorbed energy’s level and quality.
...
Su Xiao jumped into the sand ball, within it, a layer of red Chakra appeared on Gaara, the unique Chakra of a Tailed Beast, a form of high-level biological energy.
"Boy, let me out, quickly!!"
One-Tailed Shukaku roared at Gaara, but it was already too late, Su Xiao’s left hand pressed on Gaara’s face.
Whoosh~!
Faint blue smoke enveloped Gaara, a vortex appeared in Su Xiao’s palm, forcibly extracting the Chakra from Gaara’s body, to be precise, it wasn’t Gaara’s Chakra but One-Tailed Shukaku’s Chakra.
The pale red Chakra visible to the naked eye poured into Su Xiao’s arm, traveling through it and slowly approaching his chest, where a complexly structured energy orb resided, responsible for storing and converting energy.
"Ah!!!"
One-Tailed Shukaku screamed in agony, feeling a massive threat; this human wasn’t just absorbing its Chakra but also its origin power.
Losing some Chakra wasn’t a big deal, but if the origin power was absorbed, Shukaku’s combat strength and survival time would drastically decrease.
One-Tailed Shukaku tried to struggle, but unfortunately, a faint blue smoke enveloped it, rendering it immobile.
The Tailed Beast Chakra absorbed by Su Xiao was stored in the energy orb near his heart, transforming into colorless energy as soon as it entered the orb.
As the colorless energy appeared in his body, the Blue steel shadow energy inside him became extremely active, almost instantly enveloping the energy, this time Blue steel shadow uncharacteristically didn’t annihilate other energy, instead voraciously devoured it like a hungry wolf.
[Blue steel shadow level increased due to the energy transformed by the Core of Devour.]
[Blue steel shadow upgraded to Lv.11.]
[Blue steel shadow upgraded to Lv.12.]
[Blue steel shadow upgraded to Lv.13.]
Blue steel shadow rose three levels, but this wasn’t the end, Su Xiao continued to absorb the Tailed Beast Chakra.
"Human, wait, let’s discuss something, how about sealing me inside you, we could share Chakra, which is stronger than Sage Mode techniques."
