Tian Yuan's Chakra erupted around him in a vastly different way than before.
The power of his Chakra even warped the air slightly, and his meridians pulsed relentlessly.
He could hear his bones and muscles creaking as he opened all Five Gates at once—his body strained under the pressure.
"Armament Haki."
The same technique, but infinitely stronger than before, because Tian Yuan's taijutsu power had surged, and so had his Haki.
"Weave."
"Harden."
"Killer B, come!" Tian Yuan stomped, cracking the ground beneath him, then darted at Killer B like a bolt of lightning.
"Good, good, not bad, you bastard." Killer B grew excited.
Wild Reel Heron Slayer Blades—seven swords—swirled under Killer B's bizarre taijutsu assaults, covering every angle. Any ordinary Jonin would have been cut to pieces.
But Tian Yuan, wielding dual Kunai enhanced by Armament Haki and the Five Gates, matched Killer B's fearsome strikes.
Clang, clang. Their weapons met repeatedly on the open ground. Under the watchful eyes of nearby Cloud ninja, their duel cast phantom after phantom.
Countless boulders standing at their sides shattered into fragments as they passed. This was no ordinary ninja's fight.
"That Konoha brat is strong—he's holding his own against Lord Killer B," one Cloud ninja murmured in awe.
"That's the Eight Gates technique. Though he's trained it well, his body can't endure long," another observed.
Indeed, Tian Yuan could not sustain the Five Gates for much longer. And Killer B had yet to tap his Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki power—he was using only his own strength and ninjutsu.
"You bastard, you idiot!" Killer B's onslaught grew ever fiercer.
"This can't go on," Tian Yuan thought, struggling beneath the barrage. At Five Gates, he could only resist; he couldn't win, much less complete his mission. Continuing would fatally damage his body, and he might never open the remaining Gates again.
He had to use the next Gate.
"Armament Haki—emanate."
An invisible force blasted away Killer B's attack, forcing him back a few steps.
"Konoha brat, you giving up? You still have some time left," Killer B taunted, eyeing Tian Yuan's grim expression. He'd recognized the Eight Gates was in play. Even if Tian Yuan stopped fighting, Killer B would not show mercy—he respected geniuses.
"Killer B, you're formidable," Tian Yuan inhaled deeply. "Now I'll finish this quickly."
"Opening of the View Gate."
Even greater Chakra surged through Tian Yuan, his bones audibly creaking under the strain.
Killer B's expression darkened.
"Konoha brat, you're suicidal!" he shouted.
To open Six Gates with such a fragile body—beyond Five Gates was unheard of. Even if he didn't die immediately, his ninja career was over. The Eight Gates was a forbidden art that ravaged the body, feared by many. Might Guy, after decades of training, had barely mastered it, earning him the title "Millennium Genin." Only someone with rare talent could wield it.
"Killer B, if I didn't do this, you'd never let me live," Tian Yuan grinned.
"Konoha brat, wise choice—but you won't survive today," Killer B said coldly.
"Is that so?" Tian Yuan's face twisted in resolve as his body threatened to collapse. "Then taste my taijutsu."
Limitless Chakra gathered in his fists. He clenched them, a tsunami of power coalescing.
Silence fell.
"Danger." Killer B's Eight-Tails Chakra roiled—he sensed the threat.
"Morning Peacock."
Tian Yuan unleashed punch after punch at Killer B. His high-speed fists sliced the air, each strike generating shockwaves wreathed in flickering flames.
Countless fiery shockwaves engulfed Killer B, leaving him nowhere to dodge.
Rumble—trees and rocks in their path were obliterated. Under the terror of Morning Peacock, everything was annihilated.
The Cloud ninja scattered to safety. Thankfully, Morning Peacock's arc did not sweep their direction, or their survival odds would have been near zero.
"Lord Killer B…" the ninja watched the devastated crater in worry. Where once lay lush forest, now gaped a massive pit, the earth ground away.
Huff, huff. From that pit came a strange breathing. A dark figure emerged slowly...
