Shangguan Mo doesn't mind delaying the time a little. His chakra has always been at the bottom during this battle, and with the existence of the wishful insect, his chakra recovery speed will definitely be faster than that of ordinary ninjas. many.

Orochimaru on the opposite side is still in good condition, so Shangguan Mo needs some time to recover.

Shangguan Mo raised his palm, and a grey-white worm in his palm was revealed in the orange firelight, and Shangguan Mo also had a dim yellow reflection in the firelight.

Although he is slightly thinner, he is still sharp.

"This is my psychic beast, called the wishful insect. It can increase different ninjutsu characteristics according to the host's thoughts. It may not be of much use to a ninja like you, but to me, this little guy is A huge help!”

After saying that, he raised his palm and waved it in front of Orochimaru's eyes.

Anyway, after the Yuyin ninjas leave the country of Tang, the information about the two psychic beasts, the wishful insect or the black-hearted slug, will definitely be exposed and known to all the major ninja villages. So Shangguan Mo should inform Orochimaru in advance at this time. It's not something worth caring about.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru in front of him swayed slightly, and disappeared from Shangguan Mo's sight the next moment.

"Old cunt!"

He cursed secretly in his mind, knowing that Orochimaru had seen through his plan to delay time.

Shangguan Mo raised his concentration to the extreme. His five senses became slightly sharper under the night, and his body tensed up, as if he was about to explode at any time.

The next moment, a spotted python suddenly appeared on the left side of his body, opening its big mouth and biting at him.

Shangguan Mo turned his head suddenly, but unexpectedly did not find Orochimaru.

He frowned slightly, but the spotted python was already approaching him quickly, so he had to divert his attention to deal with it.

bass!

He pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and the few chakras in his body suddenly penetrated into it. Although it was not a famous tool made of chakra metal, it had no amplifying effect on chakra, but as long as it could be used for a short time Shangguan Mo was already satisfied with being able to withstand the infusion of high-intensity Wind Escape Chakra.

hum!

Under the infusion of chakra, the kunai was good at facing the wind, and in an instant it turned into a meter-long white wind blade, with the tip still slowly spitting out the looming biting edge.

laugh!

The open mouth of the piebald python suddenly collided with the wind blade in Shangguan Mo's hand. There was no bite or stalemate. With the increase of wind attribute chakra, the kunai in Shangguan Mo's hand directly hit the person in front of him. The pied python is divided into two parts at the mouth.

Blood spurted out all over the sky. Shangguan Mo took two steps back, flipped his wrist, pointed the blade diagonally at the ground, and spread his steps forward and backward, making a defensive counterattack.

The two long and thick snake corpses flew backwards in the direction they came from under the influence of force. They didn't hit the ground heavily until they were more than ten meters away, making a loud bang.

Shangguan Mo sneered and looked towards the direction from which the spotted python had flown. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, swayed his body, and actually advanced instead of retreating, taking the initiative to shoot in the direction of Orochimaru.

A layer of gauze as thin as cicada's wings rippled slightly on his body, as gentle as the embodied wind. At the same time, it greatly increased Shangguan Mo's movement speed. However, following Shangguan Mo's footsteps, this thin layer of wind around him The yarn was swaying behind him, like a candle in the strong wind, and seemed to be extinguished in the next moment.

There had never been a moment when Shangguan Mo faced such an extreme shortage of chakra in battle.

But even so, Shangguan Mo's expression was as indifferent as usual. He knew that the more critical the situation, the less timid he could show, otherwise the poisonous snake hidden in the darkness would not show any fear. Step forward politely and give him a fatal blow!

Moreover, with Ahri's [Resistance Aura] around, Shangguan Mo has the confidence to save his life and is not afraid of a personal battle with Orochimaru.

This is his belief in surviving in death and dawning in the morning.

......

With fast steps, Shangguan Mo's vision suddenly froze, and a white figure seemed to flash across the woods in front of him on the right.

His face darkened, and he chased after him without hesitation. Under the amplification of the Wind Escape Chakra coat, he quickly approached the white figure who wanted to retreat.

Arriving at the foot of a big tree where two people were hugging each other, Shangguan Mo tapped his toes on the ground and concentrated all his strength in his right hand. Following this force, his body suddenly turned and he bypassed the big tree. He immediately Then he saw a cold side face with a slightly raised brow and his head turned slightly.

"Are you surprised? Orochimaru!"

The corner of his mouth curved into a cold arc, and he shouted with a sneer. The Wind Release Kunai in his right hand was also chopped out in an instant.

Oh!

It was like lightning piercing the sky, leaving a dazzling crack in the sky.

The white kunai in his hand cut out a semi-circular crescent moon in the air, and struck Orochimaru who was caught off guard.

clang!

In a hurry, he turned around and blocked with his sword. Orochimaru's body shook slightly, and his upper body fell towards the ground uncontrollably.

He turned around in a hurry, with nowhere to borrow strength, and even his body's strength was only used at 30 to 40%. It was inevitable that Shangguan Mo's full-strength sword would disrupt his body's stability.

But Orochimaru is Orochimaru after all. His body suddenly made an incredible bend in mid-air, and quickly bent into a spring that was stretched to the extreme. After dodging Shangguan Mo's pursuing knife, his body It stuck to the ground like a rubber band and rolled around, completely violating Newton's laws.

Seeing this incredible scene, Shangguan Mo couldn't help but pause in his steps. His hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and his expression was also uncertain.

He never expected that Orochimaru would perform a live performance for him right in front of him.

"Here... is the little flying stick here?"

.......

Chapter 154 Deadlock

Clang, clang, clang!

The sounds of metal collisions suddenly sounded in the night woods.

With the blessing of the wind escape coat, the wind blade in Shangguan Mo's hand was so fast that only an extremely blurry afterimage was left. The bright water-like light of the sword complemented the crescent moon in the sky, but what it brought to Orochimaru was a killing intent. A different view of the tide.

He only felt the cold and biting murderous intention in Shangguan Mo's sword light!

hum!

The wind blade in Shangguan Mo's hand was swung rapidly, forming a bright streak in front of him. An airtight wall of light and shadow.

After several collisions, Orochimaru's expression had changed somewhat, and he was no longer as careless as before.

Ever since he obtained the Kusanagi Sword, he had almost never been at a disadvantage in the Taijutsu clashes with other ninjas. The only time he had was when he fought with the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Sanshouyu Hanzo, a few years ago. when.

At that time, he, Jiraiya and Tsunade worked together to fight against the demigod of the ninja world, but in the end they got a humiliating title of [Sannin], which he has always been bitter about.

But now, holding the extremely sharp Pheasant Sword, he was beaten so badly by a young junior that it was difficult for him to even fight back.

Although this is related to the mysterious escape technique he suffered from the big yellow dog before, which burned half of his body and greatly reduced his body function, it is enough to show that Shangguan Mo's own strength cannot be underestimated.

"wrong!"

As if he thought of something, Orochimaru's expression suddenly shook, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards the young man in front of him who was attacking crazily.

He had discovered before that Shangguan Mo's body had always been surrounded by this layer of gauze as thin as cicada's wings. In close contact, Orochimaru felt a gentleness like a mountain breeze blowing on his face many times.

But wrapped in this soft-looking gauze, Shangguan Mo not only became as fast as the wind, but even the ordinary standard kunai in his hand could not be cut off by his pheasant sword.

Orochimaru once again thought of the flash of dark fire on Shangguan Mo's body before he released his Fire Release and what he had said before.

"Is this the wishful insect..."

He gritted his teeth secretly.

That little bug that was revealed in the orange firelight could actually have such a big impact on a jounin. Whether it was ninjutsu or close combat, that tiny bug couldn't be any smaller. The bugs all provided Shangguan Mo with great help, which allowed Shangguan Mo, a young man of only seventeen years old, to fight head-on with his injured self, and even vaguely suppressed himself!

"What a good plan..."

A suppressed anger rose on his face, and Orochimaru was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

He was completely misled by Shangguan Mo's previous words. He thought Shangguan Mo was bluffing and simply wanted to delay time to restore chakra.

But I didn't expect that Shangguan Mo was actually showing weakness to the enemy!

"But how long can you maintain this state with very little chakra left?"

He sneered in his heart, looking at Shangguan Mo with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

......

"Is it so silky..."

Seeing Orochimaru's body like plasticine once again dodge his own slashes in an inhuman posture, Shangguan Mo couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

After a few minutes of head-on physical combat, Shangguan Mo's physical strength only showed a slight decrease. However, due to Ahri's increase in strength and the recovery of Black Heart Slug's [Cell Splitting] ability, Shangguan Mo does not have to deal with his physical strength for the time being. What's the worry about physical strength?

[Cell Division]: The Black-Hearted Slug itself has the ability to divide cells, and its carrier shares part of this ability with him. Moreover, the carrier of the black-hearted slug can absorb the cells it divides to quickly restore body functions.

Shangguan Mo knew that the so-called body functions were actually just physical abilities.

With the existence of [Cell Splitting], Shangguan Mo has enough confidence to engage in a long-term close combat with Orochimaru.

But the key is that his chakra is about to bottom out again!

Even with just the shallowest layer of Wind Release Chakra Coat and the [Wind Release. Attachment] technique, Shangguan Mo's chakra recovery speed cannot keep up with the current expenditure!

In other words, if he cannot capture Orochimaru or force him back within a short period of time, Shangguan Mo's current advantage will immediately cease to exist.

"what to do!"

Shangguan Mo felt anxious secretly.

The wind blade in his hand still danced into phantoms, but the wind-attribute aura at the tip became slightly dim.

Orochimaru has gradually become familiar with the attacking rhythm of the young man in front of him, and can even make appropriate counterattacks.

The corners of his already long and narrow mouth were now grinning, and those extremely thin lips made him look extremely indifferent, like a snake without any human emotions.

After firmly holding Shangguan Mo's forward slash, Orochimaru suddenly raised his right foot and kicked it out. However, just when he was about to kick Shangguan Mo's abdomen, he dodged it with a light step back.

“It’s really amazing flexibility!”

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, but Orochimaru knew that Shangguan Mo's ability to react so quickly was not entirely due to the blessing of the psychic beast.

The battle has reached this point, Orochimaru has already seen clearly.

The young man's psychic beast could only increase his physical strength, chakra, and ninjutsu. Although this was already an amazing enough existence, Orochimaru didn't particularly care.

Just like what Shangguan Mo said before.

Although his psychic beasts can provide great bonuses to him, for a ninja of Orochimaru's level, the combat power they can actually provide can be said to be almost negligible.

When their strength reaches their level, even if their ninjutsu, chakra, and taijutsu are increased by two or three levels, it will not actually be of much help to their combat effectiveness, especially when facing opponents of the same level of strength, Shangguan Mo and those like The bonus of the psychic beast was even ignored by him.

As an elite Jonin of Konoha, Orochimaru's eyes have always been on the [Kage] or Jinchūriki in the five major villages.

In his opinion, only someone with this level of strength is worthy of being his opponent.

But once a ninja's strength reaches Orochimaru's level, if he wants to improve his strength or combat effectiveness, it cannot be accomplished with a mere increase in chakra and physical strength, or a little ninjutsu power.

It can even be said that the improvement of their combat effectiveness in these aspects can be said to be minimal.

Unless they can reach the extreme in a certain aspect!
