561. Chapter 544: Zhu Ganglie VS Reincarnator
"Master, you can't make this old pig work without giving him food! This old pig is at least the Altar Cleaner personally appointed by the Buddha Venerable. Don't forget to give this old pig a share of any benefits!"
The Pig Demon was grumbling under his breath, but a glint flashed in his small Eyes. He swung his Nine-Toothed Rake backhand, whether it was a coincidence or intentional.
An invisible figure just happened to appear under his Nine-Toothed Rake. The rake teeth of the Pig Demon's Nine-Toothed Rake precisely pierced the invisible Reincarnator's Heavenly Spirit, creating several blood Holes in his skull.
"You think you can fool this old pig's Eyes with just these things? Although this old pig doesn't have that monkey's Fiery Golden Eyes, these Mystic Eyes can see up to the Thirty-Three Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworld!" The Pig Demon stepped on the Reincarnator's Body, looking at the Optical Camouflage Stealth Suit that kept sparking, shook his head and commented, "Flashy but impractical!"
"Who are you people?"
The Pig Demon raised the rake with one hand, rested it on his shoulder, and scanned the surroundings.
The explosion ended, and some Reincarnators also rushed back one after another.
"Zhu Ganglie!"
A Vampire Clan Reincarnator flapped his Bat Wings less than a hundred meters above the Pig Demon. His Eyes were extremely sharp. Looking at that familiar pig head and thinking of the generous remuneration rewarded by the Samsara Palace, the Vampire Clan Reincarnator's Eyes turned completely scarlet. He let out a scream.
"You fellow know this old pig's secular name?" The Pig Demon looked at the Bat Demon flapping its blood-colored Bat Wings and said in a muffled voice.
The Vampire Clan Reincarnator, having confirmed it, wrapped his entire Body in a ball of blood-red Light Mist and swooped down towards the Pig Demon's head. Arriving above the Pig Demon's head, his right arm shot out fiercely, and his right claw viciously clawed down towards the Pig Demon's Heavenly Spirit.
Five streams of blood-red Qi Flow burst from the Vampire Clan Reincarnator's fingertips. The Qi Flow, capable of cutting metal and breaking jade, surged, looking like it was about to claw several Holes in the Pig Demon's Heavenly Spirit.
Facing this attack, which was like an eagle swooping down on its prey, the Pig Demon's fat Body performed three consecutive backflips in the air and easily landed on a Boulder.
"A Bat Demon, that's quite rare. Are you a descendant of Zhang Guo?" The Pig Demon patted his belly, staring at the Reincarnator before him with a face full of curiosity.
"No, that's not right. That old fellow never married. He's always been a bachelor!"
Zhang Guo, one of the Eight Immortals, is said to have been the first white bat at the dawn of Heaven and Earth, and his Innate Foundation is very mysterious. The Pig Demon had dealings with him when he served in the Celestial Dao Court. However, after the Heavenly Court was destroyed, he submitted to the Buddhist Sect and became the Purification Altar Messenger Bodhisattva, and hadn't seen Zhang Guo since! With a 'crack', a piece of Mountain Rock on the Ground was grabbed and Shattered by the Vampire Clan Reincarnator. The Vampire Clan let out a sharp howl. Looking at the Pig Demon a dozen meters away, a Bloodlight flashed in his Eyes, and his entire Body turned into a ball of Blood Mist and charged towards the Pig Demon again.
The Pig Demon raised his leg and kicked out viciously, hitting the face of the Vampire Clan Reincarnator in the Bloodlight directly. The immense Strength sent the Vampire Clan Reincarnator's Body flying over a hundred meters like an Artillery Shell.
With two 'crack' sounds, seven or eight Ribs were already broken! It was only because this Vampire Clan Reincarnator's Physical Body Healing Factor was strong enough, coupled with the fact that the Pig Demon was only using pure Physical Body Strength and did not use Buddhist Sect Magic Power.
That's why he didn't kick the Vampire Clan Reincarnator into pieces with one kick. Even so, the Vampire Clan Reincarnator was kicked so hard he couldn't get up for a long time. Trembling, he pulled out a small blood-colored bottle from his Spatial Equipment and frantically poured it into his mouth.
"Swish swish swish swish swish—"
The Pig Demon suddenly turned his head. Behind him, over a dozen Steel Puppets had appeared at some point. Each one held a rapid-fire Photon Laser Gun and swept wildly towards his back.
Facing the dense Laser beams, the Pig Demon grunted twice. An Auspicious Cloud rose above his head, and five-colored Radiance burst forth from the cloud. Tiny Golden Armored Heavenly Gods surrounded three fist-sized Sarira.
The Sarira emitted Light and lowered streams of Light Screen. Hundreds of Laser beams blasted the cliff face into chaotic fragments, but hitting the Sarira's Golden Light, not a single ripple was seen.
The next instant, the Pig Demon's Body disappeared into thin air, then appeared out of thin air in front of a Steel Puppet. Inside the Iron Suit, under the astonished gaze of the dumbfounded Reincarnator, the Pig Demon's fat Palm grabbed the Iron Suit's Neck. The Neck of the Iron Suit, made of Exotic Alloy, directly crumpled like a fake made of tin foil, completely collapsing inwards.
With a crunch, the Reincarnator inside the Iron Suit could even hear the terrifying tearing sound of his own Neck.
The Pig Demon, holding the Iron Suit by the Neck, slammed it down heavily. The Iron Suit was slammed heavily into the Mountain Rock beneath his feet. A series of "crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch" sounds of breaking rang out, and countless broken Bone and Blood Water flowed out from the gaps in the pile of Scrap metal.
"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish—"
A Small Spaceship in the High Altitude, mobilizing the launch ports on its hull, fired all its Bullets towards the Pig Demon in one go.
The terrifying Sound of Breaking Air, "swish swish", rang out. Hundreds of Rune Bullets made of Exotic Alloy tore through the Air, whistling as they enveloped the Pig Demon's entire Body.
With a muzzle velocity of ten times the speed of sound, those Bullets were almost instantly above the Pig Demon's head before they even left the barrel.
"Om!"
The Pig Demon uttered a Mantra from his mouth and sprayed out a ring of visible Fluctuation. The Bullets, Powerful enough to punch a Hole through Main Battle Tank Armor, were instantly like timers with Time Stop pressed, each one Frozen in mid-air.
The Pig Demon swung the Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand. The rake emitted ten thousand rays of Radiance, turning into a golden Lightning bolt, shooting towards the Sky.
The Small Spaceship circled, trying to avoid the Golden Light, but the Golden Light was astonishingly fast.
With a loud boom, the Small Spaceship directly exploded into a pile of fragments.
The Pig Demon raised his hand and grabbed the Nine-Toothed Rake that flew back. He stroked it, then swung it around. Instantly, ten thousand rays of Radiance and a thousand streams of Propitious Energy filled the Sky, illuminating the Area for a hundred miles with brilliant Light.
Whoosh!
From the moment the Pig Demon appeared until he made his move, in just a few bouts, three Reincarnators with considerable Strength fell into his hands.
This made some restless Reincarnators stop in their tracks. Each one began to Wait and See.
Heaven and Earth seemed to suddenly fall silent. Apart from the whistling Wind Sound, there was no other sound.
"This Pig Demon isn't right, it's like he's a different person!" Wanrenwang watched Zhu Ganglie from afar. He shook his head at Zhang Xiaofan and made a Gesture, signaling to leave here first.
Wanrenwang was among the first to encounter this Pig Demon. Although the Pig Demon in Gao Village showed some Abilities, under the relentless Ninjutsu siege of the Akatsuki Ninja, he quickly revealed his True Body.
The Pig Demon who revealed his True Body was just a large Wild Boar. Even Wanrenwang felt confident he could handle this Pig Demon.
But this guy with a Wild Boar head in front of him, the Strength he displayed was terrifyingly Abnormal. If it weren't for that identical pig head, he would have suspected he was seeing things.
"Trying to leave! You haven't told this old pig yet, where you came from, and where you plan to go!"
The Pig Demon's small Eyes darted, sweeping over the Reincarnators who wanted to leave. He formed a hand seal, and a Golden Light instantly emanated from his Body, turning into a Golden Sanskrit script kasaya. This kasaya was Sky-shading and sun-blocking, forming a Buddhist Radiance Barrier covering dozens of miles.
completely sealing off the escape routes of these Reincarnators.
Seeing the Pig Demon display this move, the Complexions of the group of Reincarnators changed drastically one by one.
"Gurararara—Your Strength as one of the 'Animal Hides' is quite formidable!"
No one expected that after Zhu Ganglie displayed such Strength, someone would still dare to step forward and make a Provocation against him.
However, when the Gaze of the group of Reincarnators fell upon the tall Figure who spoke, a thought surged in their hearts: 'So it's him, no wonder.'
"What a tall guy!"
Zhu Ganglie looked at Whitebeard with a smile, but Cold Light surged in his small Eyes.
"Just a mere Mortal who hasn't stepped onto the Immortal Path, and you want to be the first one to stick your neck out, big guy?"
The two Fangs at the corners of Zhu Ganglie's mouth gleamed with Cold Light. He didn't take Whitebeard seriously. Even if this Incarnation's Strength was less than one-thousandth of his Main Body's, a Mortal he could casually crush to death was not someone he took seriously.
What he cared about more was what Secrets these Mortals held. "Gurararara, take this old man's Fist!"
Whitebeard suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhu Ganglie. As the strongest man in the hot-blooded Pirate anime, Whitebeard did not fear strong enemies. On the contrary, the enemy's Strength could only further ignite his fighting spirit. The Mountain Rocks beneath Whitebeard's feet suddenly exploded. Boom! The Ground within a ten-zhang Area instantly cracked and sank without Obstruct. Above the Mountain Rock Ground of the Ruins, Gravel and rocks the size of heads or even tabletops all shot up into the Sky under his stomp and Shockwave.
Immediately after, Whitebeard's Body, carrying rolling thunderous sounds, broke the sound barrier in an instant and whistled straight towards Zhu Ganglie.
The fierce Gang Wind instantly swept away the Sky-filling Smoke and Dust around his Entire Body, rolling it all up and forming a gray Wind Dragon!
"Hmm?"
Zhu Ganglie raised an Eyebrow, and a faint Radiance flashed in his small Eyes.
This big guy with a Whitebeard, with this sudden move, reminded him of an old acquaintance who wielded a Xuānhuà Great Axe.
Back then, when the Dao Venerable achieved Transcendence, that Great Heavenly Venerable lost his Backer, and the Heavenly Court gradually declined. Many old acquaintances also went their separate ways.
"He's certainly tall, but compared to Jù Líng, he's still far off!"
Zhu Ganglie shook his head. His Figure flickered between reality and Illusion, instantly transforming into endless Illusions, charging straight towards Whitebeard.
A distance of several miles was crossed by the two in an instant.
Whitebeard's Body rose like a Dragon. From hundreds of zhang away, he formed a Fist Intent and smashed it down through the Sky! The Air beneath his Fist was instantly squeezed and collapsed by pure Strength. His Conqueror's Haki, filled with Disdain, soared into the Sky, turning into a tangible Black Lightning that pressed down.
Boom! Under the Conqueror's Haki, the Air within a hundred zhang emitted a huge Explosion Sound, was instantly shattered, turning into a curtain-like zone resembling a vacuum.
At the same time, under the Empowerment of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, The Void Shockwave, and Space itself slightly fluctuated under the Fist Intent.
"Eh? This Momentum!"
Zhu Ganglie's heart stirred slightly. His calm State of Mind was broken.
Whitebeard's Strength was not worth mentioning, but the artistic conception contained within was extremely profound. Moreover, that method of using Strength, different from what he knew, made his Eyes light up.
"This old pig's Altar Cleaner temple is missing a Novice Buddhist Monk! You'll do, kid!"
A Thought flashed through his mind. Zhu Ganglie loosely clenched his five fingers, meeting Whitebeard's Fist.
Under absolute Strength, no matter how exquisite and profound your Fist Arts and Fist Intent are, you can only be crushed! The next moment, Whitebeard's Fist slammed heavily into Zhu Ganglie's Palm. Or rather, Zhu Ganglie caught Whitebeard's Fist.
Bang! Heaven and Earth instantly fell silent because of it.
Immediately after, the Ground violently Shockwave, and large plumes of Smoke and Dust soared into the Sky.
Within the hundreds of zhang Area where the two fought, a violent Explosion suddenly occurred. Countless Soil and Gravel shrieked as they tore through the Sky, shooting out like the strongest crossbow bolts.
Whoosh! Whitebeard's Body leaned back, retreating hundreds of zhang, leaving a deep gully on the Ground.
His Body trembled violently. He staggered dozens of steps before stabilizing his Figure.
"Gurararara! Good, good, good, what Powerful Strength!" Whitebeard looked at Zhu Ganglie, who hadn't retreated a single step, as if taking a leisurely stroll. He reached out and gripped the Knife Hilt of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Clang! He swung the Long Saber with both hands. In an instant, Radiance burst forth. Ruthless Blade Light poured out like Mercury, creating a vast, chilling Sea of Blade Light! Slashing through Heaven and Earth, crisscrossing! Whitebeard's Blade Arts, after years of Tempering, had long surpassed the so-called Great Swordsmen.
As the Blade Qi crisscrossed, the scattered Qi Energy chopped the Mountain Rocks within a hundred zhang Area into countless drifting fragments. The spreading Blade Light had the momentum to cleave the entire mountain in half.
Buzz! Amidst the violent roaring sound of the Air, the Blade Light was like crescent moons, one after another, chopping towards Zhu Ganglie.
As soon as Whitebeard made his move, he displayed extremely profound Blade Arts mastery. Coupled with that top-tier Magic Tool level Green Dragon Crescent Blade, even ordinary Primordial Spirit Cultivators would not dare to directly receive this strike from him.
But in Zhu Ganglie's Eyes, Whitebeard's Blade Arts were simply full of Flaws.
These Blade Arts, in the Eyes of ordinary people, were naturally incredibly Powerful and Invincible.
But in the Eyes of him, the former head of the Four Saints of the North Pole, Marshal Canopy, they were simply laughable!
"Green Dragon Crescent Blade? You wield it far worse than the Demon Subduing Emperor!"
Zhu Ganglie's voice, filled with Disdain, pierced through the dense Ocean of Blade Light and drifted out.
Clang clang clang! The next second, Zhu Ganglie swung the Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand, roaring like ten thousand Thunderbolts surging. The rake in his hand rose up like a Giant Dragon roaring towards the Sky amidst the surging Wind and Thunder.
charging straight into the Ocean of Blade Qi cleaved open by Whitebeard.
This rake strike seemed to have no Change, no tricks.
But in reality, this rake strike was as swift as a Thunderbolt, yet it was unleashed and withdrawn instantly, like sunlight sweeping past, plain and unremarkable, but leaving no Mark. It was extremely fast!
Clang! After a faint sound of Metal and Iron clashing, Whitebeard was just a few steps away from Zhu Ganglie. He held the Long Saber with both hands, maintaining the downward cleave, his face full of shock.
Whoosh!
A Breeze blew past.
Whitebeard's stiff Figure moved.
Crash! The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand broke inch by inch, turning into a cloud of iron powder that drifted away.
Zhu Ganglie casually hoisted the Nine-Toothed Rake onto his shoulder, patted his belly, and a golden Radiance of Universal Salvation shone out, just about to perform Conversion on the big guy in front of him.
"Hmm?"
His Eyebrow suddenly twitched violently, and a strong warning sign arose in his heart.
Zhu Ganglie's small Eyes scanned around. The surroundings were clear, and there was no danger.
But his sharp Five Senses told him that danger was approaching in the unseen. Zhu Ganglie extended his Divine Sense.
He swung the Nine-Toothed Rake behind him with one hand. Bang! The Nine-Toothed Rake swung out with a piercing Sonic Boom.
Amidst the Gang Wind Shockwave, several Figures wearing Black Base Fire Cloud Robes were directly swept and exploded by his rake strike. Nine streams of Force Wind whistled, and a distant mountaintop was instantly sliced into over a dozen sections and collapsed with a rumble.
"Go all out! Otherwise, we'll all face a dead end!"
Seeing his Six Paths Clones couldn't even last one Bout against Zhu Ganglie, Nagato gasped. Konan, while summoning countless Paper Crane Talismans, also warned everyone!
"Talismans! Little lady, don't you know that if you want to draw Talismans, you still have to burn incense and pray to this old pig?" Zhu Ganglie looked at the dense Paper Cranes flying closer. The pig head with two Wild Boar Fangs revealed a Smile that couldn't be called friendly.
He opened his mouth and roared, "Roar!"
Boom! The golden Magic Power Buddhist Radiance Shockwave, stirring up the Air to surge wildly like a tide.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The tens of thousands of Paper Cranes were directly blown away. These Paper Cranes directly exploded In the Air, their Explosion Power like enhanced Surface-to-air Missiles.
"Hiss!"
Kakuzu looked at the blooming Fireworks, the Corner of his Eye twitched, and he only felt his Wallet instantly shrivel up.
