Chapter 193 Lesson
Chapter 193 Lesson
The atmosphere in Serbia Square was as oppressive as the deathly stillness before a storm.
Orochimaru moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching Minos. His pale face was twisted with ruthlessness, and his long, golden pupils gleamed with greed and desire, as if he were about to devour his target at any moment.
Minos stood still, his posture as upright as a pine tree. The corners of his mouth first turned up slightly, outlining a confident arc. Then, a red light flashed in his eyes like lightning, and an invisible yet incredibly powerful Conqueror's Haki burst out from his seemingly ordinary device like a surging tsunami.
In an instant, the red and black lightning, like a ferocious dragon, raged wildly around Minos, spreading in all directions and illuminating the entire square in an eerie red and black hue.
Orochimaru, who was rushing towards them, was instantly and mercilessly struck by the red and black lightning.
Each bolt of lightning contained terrifying energy, like sharp blades slicing through Orochimaru's body. At the same time, a terrifying, almost tangible spiritual force surged through Orochimaru's mind like a raging tide.
Orochimaru felt as if his head was about to explode, with waves of excruciating pain crashing over him.
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse, painful scream burst from Orochimaru's mouth, echoing across the vast Serbian square, sounding particularly mournful.
Not only that, Orochimaru's lower body instantly transformed back into human legs under the powerful impact, losing the agility of his original snake body.
He could no longer hold on, clutching his head and rolling around on the ground in agony, looking utterly pathetic.
Seeing Orochimaru in such agony, Minos smiled slightly, a smile tinged with mockery and disdain.
"As expected, Orochimaru's mental strength is indeed very weak. He's afraid of genjutsu, so using Conqueror's Haki to attack is the right thing to do." Minos thought to himself, quite satisfied with the effect of his attack.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the other side.
Minos looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Orochimaru was also writhing on the ground in pain, clutching his head.
His face was contorted in pain, and his body was convulsing.
Cheng Xiaoyu sensed Minos's gaze and immediately smiled slightly at Minos, a hint of smugness in his smile.
Minos instantly understood that Cheng Xiaoyu had also used Conqueror's Haki to attack Orochi Kabuto.
Minos looked at Orochimaru, who was still rolling around in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said calmly, "Orochimaru, you're not going to die from this little mental attack, are you?"
His voice, though not loud, carried clearly to the ears of the shadow soldiers and puppet legion in the quiet square, exuding an undeniable authority. "If that's really the case, then you, the legendary Sannin, are utterly useless."
After saying this, Minos fell silent, staring intently at Orochimaru with his sharp, eagle-like gaze, as if trying to see right through him.
As expected, Orochimaru's body suddenly froze when he heard Minos's words, and his rolling movements slowly stopped.
His heart was filled with shock and doubt. If he only knew the name, he would have thought it was normal.
Since he had communicated with Kabuto to some extent before, it's quite possible that they overheard him, so it's reasonable that they now know his name.
However, the fact that this giant actually mentioned his title of "Sannin" is rather intriguing.
In today's ninja world, it's difficult for the new generation of strong individuals to know that he has the title of "Sannin"; at most, they only know his name.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and slowly stood up from the ground with disheveled hair.
His already pale face was now even more bloodless, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cold gaze revealed a hint of vigilance and doubt as he stared intently at Minos and said in a low voice, "Who exactly are you? How do you know so much about me!"
His voice was slightly hoarse, as if it were a question coming from the deepest hell.
Immediately afterward, Orochimaru, without waiting for Minos's reply, continued in a low voice, "If I remember correctly, the title of the Sannin was earned during the Second Shinobi World War, in the battle against Hanzo."
"Those were years of blood and fire. Countless ninjas fell in that war, but Jiraiya, Tsunade, and I, with our indomitable will and superb ninjutsu, won Hanzo's approval and thus earned this title."
"But I have never seen you in the ninja world, nor do I know any trace of you. So, who exactly are you!" Orochimaru's tone was urgent; he desperately wanted to know the identity of the mysterious person before him.
Minos looked at Orochimaru, whose hair was disheveled, face was shocked, and even a little distorted, and smiled slightly. That smile seemed to have a mysterious magic, making it hard to understand. He said, "This is not the place to talk. How about we talk inside our castle?"
After speaking, Minos slowly raised his hand and pointed to the enormous, magnificent black castle behind him. The castle soared into the clouds, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura, as if it concealed countless secrets.
Orochimaru looked in the direction Minos was pointing and saw the enormous castle, which made him fall into deep thought.
The castle looked magnificent, filled with unknown dangers and mystery. He pondered whether to enter the castle with Minos, his heart filled with hesitation and wariness.
Minos glanced at Orochimaru, who seemed a little wary, and smiled slightly, a hint of provocation in his smile. He said, "What, does the infamous Orochimaru actually feel afraid? That's truly unbelievable."
Minos's words were full of sarcasm, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Orochimaru.
After saying that, Minos waved his hands and slowly said, "Do you think it would take us a lot of effort to kill you? Shadow King, let your shadow soldiers show Orochimaru what they're made of! And the puppet army, let them put on a show for Orochimaru too!" His voice was full of confidence and majesty, as if he controlled everything.
Upon hearing Minos's words, Orochimaru's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. His body tensed up, like a wary wild beast, and he hurriedly looked around, fearing a sneak attack.
Orochimaru knew in his heart that these people in front of him were no good, and he had to deal with them carefully.
Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give Orochimaru of the ninja world a little shock."
After saying that, Cheng Xiaoyu's aura exploded instantly, and the dark purple energy magic surged out of his body like raging magma.
In an instant, Cheng Xiaoyu's body was completely enveloped in dark purple magic, as if he had become a demon god from the dark world.
However, Cheng Xiaoyu did not stop. He roared, "Where is the Shadow Legion? Follow me into battle!" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing across the square.
Upon receiving Cheng Xiaoyu's call, the shadow soldiers instantly perked up, raised their weapons, and shouted, "Your Majesty, we have always been here. We are willing to follow you and conquer the world!"
Their voices were unified, filled with loyalty and fervor, as if they would do anything for Cheng Xiaoyu.
At the same time, the First Legion Commander General Flying Dragon, the Second Legion Commander Beman, the Third Legion Commander Beard, Eagle, Hades, Xiyang and others all unleashed the aura of the Emperor level (Shadow level).
Its momentum soared into the sky, like an angry dragon roaring, or a volcano erupting, its powerful aura causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Meanwhile, Puppet Number One, along with the other four puppets and the puppet generals, arrived not far from Orochimaru.
They quickly surrounded Orochimaru, and then the puppet army and others unleashed a powerful aura.
Its momentum was surging and powerful, like an incomparably sharp longsword piercing the sky, sending chills down one's spine.
At this moment, Orochimaru was completely shocked by the overwhelming aura of the Shadow Army and the Puppet Army. Rather than being shocked, he was deeply terrified.
He had initially thought these strange black-and-white figures and those with horns weren't very powerful. But the strength they displayed now greatly shocked him.
Moreover, Orochimaru keenly sensed that there were not only many experts among them, but also several peak-level Kage and high-level Kage, which was equivalent to more than a dozen Kage-level powerhouses.
How can this be?
Orochimaru was filled with disbelief. He knew that in the past, Kage-level shinobi were powerful figures, the pillars of their respective shinobi villages.
And now, so many Kage-level powerhouses have suddenly appeared before us.
Moreover, there are thousands of elite Jonin and Jonin, and tens of thousands of other Chunin.
With such a massive force, in the past ninja world, they could have easily swept through any ninja village, right?
No, if the existence of the Super Kage and the Six Paths hadn't occurred, these people might have been able to rival the ninja world of the past.
Orochimaru was filled with shock and fear, knowing that he had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful opponent today.
In this tense atmosphere, time seemed to stand still. Orochimaru stood in the encirclement, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
He knew that if he resisted rashly, he would likely be overwhelmed by these powerful forces in an instant.
But if I go into the castle with them, I don't know what awaits me.
Minos sneered inwardly as he watched Orochimaru hesitate.
He knew that Orochimaru was already intimidated by their strength.
"Well, Orochimaru, have you made up your mind? Are you going to obediently come in with us, or are you going to put up a futile resistance here?" Minos's voice rang out again, striking Orochimaru's heart like a heavy hammer.
……
P.S.: Even if there's no one around, you must persevere.
