Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: Unexpected Mutation

Ringo Ameyuri's expression remained unchanged, showing no intention of wasting any words. She raised the other Lightning Blade in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into the ground.

The instant this Lightning Blade pierced the earth, electric currents scattered in all directions surged across the ground.

One current after another connected with the Lightning Blade on the ground, effectively sealing off the entire surface.

The Lightning Blade embedded in the ground trembled violently, erupting with a strong current that connected with the blade in the air, forming a cyclic electric net.

Crackle!Hiss!

The sounds of electric current kept ringing beside the ears of Might Guy and Ringo Ameyuri.

Ringo Ameyuri, wrapped in her Lightning Release Armor, paid no mind to the currents beneath her feet.

Might Guy, standing to the side, looked grim. Although his body was brimming with chakra, a defense of pure chakra still couldn't withstand the damage from such a massive amount of electricity.

By now, Guy could feel his legs becoming sluggish; clearly, the paralysis was setting in.

While the currents hadn't affected him too much yet...

Guy's figure flashed, instantly appearing before Ringo Ameyuri.

Although the electric net around him restricted his movement, it also restricted Ringo Ameyuri.

In this confined space, given his speed, the red-haired girl before him had no way to dodge his attack.

Hidden Lotus!

A terrifying aura erupted from Guy's body. His arms turned into blurs as he launched a barrage of strikes toward Ringo Ameyuri's head.

His fists punched through the air, producing a series of rapid sonic booms. Clearly, Guy was not holding back!

Boom!Boom!

Dull booming sounds rang out continuously, but Guy's expression suddenly darkened.

He saw that his fists stopped just a dozen centimeters from Ringo Ameyuri's body.

It was as if an invisible force was blocking Guy's attacks.

"It's useless. Pure physical attacks cannot break through this magnetic field before me. In this world formed by lightning and thunder, your attacks can no longer hurt me."

"The prelude to death has been played. Prepare to face the funeral prepared just for you."

Ringo Ameyuri wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking at the shocked Might Guy with an icy gaze.

A look of surprise flashed through Guy's eyes. Although he didn't understand what the "magnetic field" Ringo Ameyuri spoke of was, he figured it had something to do with those two Ninjato!

He quickly glanced at the sky and the two Lightning Blades stabbed into the ground. A sharp light flashed through Guy's eyes.

The terrifying electric net surrounding him and the so-called magnetic field must all be relying on those two Lightning Blades.

As long as those two blades were compromised, the electric net would collapse on its own.

Guy's figure flashed again, appearing directly beside the Lightning Blade stuck in the ground not far away.

Leaf Hidden Rock Crushing Strike!

Guy performed a split kick, smashing down toward the Lightning Blade below.

Similarly, a huge dull sound rang out.

The Lightning Blade embedded in the ground remained intact. Guy's attack stopped just above the blade, clearly having been blocked by the magnetic field as well.

"I already told you it's useless. If you had tried to escape when this Ninjutsu was first forming, you might have had a chance. But now, this space is completely enveloped by the magnetic field."

"With your current power, there is no way you can break through here."

Ringo Ameyuri spoke coldly while forming hand seals with both hands.

The creation of this Ninjutsu was entirely due to an idea Ringo Ameyuri had while sparring with Ranmaru.

After all, given Ranmaru's terrifying physique, he could easily dodge pure Ninjutsu attacks with his speed, making it impossible to pose much of a threat to him.

Therefore, Ringo Ameyuri spent a great deal of time researching a countermeasure, and this combination-style Ninjutsu was born.

Damn it!

Guy's face turned completely grim, especially as he saw Ringo Ameyuri rapidly forming seals.

Although he didn't know what kind of Ninjutsu she was about to launch, Guy's instincts told him that a lethal aura was rising from Ringo Ameyuri.

Do I have to open the Sixth Gate, Gate of Joy?

A look of struggle flashed through Guy's eyes. He hadn't fully mastered the state of the Sixth Gate yet.

Moreover, Guy's intuition told him that even if he opened the Gate of Joy, he might not be able to withstand Ringo Ameyuri's upcoming attack.

Ringo Ameyuri's eyes suddenly lit up, and her extremely complex hand seals came to a halt at the same time.

Sage Art: Thunder Burial: Thunder Banquet!!

Crack!

A bolt of lightning, nearly purple in color, surged up from Ringo Ameyuri's hands.

The moment this purple lightning appeared, the originally calm electric net surrounding them suddenly surged violently.

A terrifying aura emanated from Ringo Ameyuri's body.

I can't wait any longer!

Guy's pupils constricted. Just as he was about to open the Gate of Joy...

At that very moment!

A series of sounds breaking through the air rang out from the surroundings.

The Hyuga clan Jōnin, who had originally gone in another direction to search for Neji, had rushed back at this moment.

As soon as this group appeared, they charged straight toward Might Guy and Ringo Ameyuri.

All the Hyuga clan Jōnin activated their Byakugan, looking at the massive electric net trapping Guy.

Under the vision of the Byakugan, the flow of chakra within the current was clearly revealed before the eyes of all the Hyuga ninja.

Leading the charge at the front was Hyuga Tokuma, the captain of this Hyuga squad.

"Prepare to move!!"

Hyuga Tokuma looked up at the Lightning Blade in the air radiating current and shouted loudly.

Accompanying Hyuga Tokuma's voice, all the Hyuga clan Jōnin instantly split into two teams.

The team at the very front with Hyuga Tokuma jumped into the air simultaneously.

The team in the back followed closely, jumping up as well.

Just as Hyuga Tokuma and the others, who had jumped up first, began to descend.

The Hyuga ninja who had jumped up closely behind them extended their hands simultaneously, striking the feet of the ninja who were about to fall.

Bursts of Hakke Kusho force erupted beneath the feet of the ninjas. Hyuga Tokuma and the others, who were just preparing to drop, were blasted away by the impact of this force.

Under the precise chakra control of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Tokuma and the others flew directly above the Lightning Blade in the sky.

"Break it open for me! Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crush!"

Hyuga Tokuma let out a loud shout.

The other Hyuga Jōnin flying over also made their moves simultaneously.

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Powerful attacks bombarded the Lightning Blade in the air one after another.

The attacks of the Hyuga clan Jōnin were extremely precise, all striking at the points where the chakra was weakest.

Added to this was the unstable state of the surrounding current caused by the Ninjutsu Ringo Ameyuri was preparing to unleash.

An extremely ear-piercing sound exploded in everyone's ears.

The magnetic field around the Lightning Blade was completely blasted apart, and the blade fell from the sky to the ground. The electric net that had trapped Guy also completely dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Guy revealed a look of surprise on his face, forcefully suppressing the urge to give a thumbs up to the Hyuga clan members.

Guy hurriedly flashed to the side.

Rumble!

The terrifying purple current surged down instantly, like a river formed of electricity, submerging a vast area of the surroundings.

Looking at the ground where a huge crater had been blasted out by the purple lightning ahead, Ringo Ameyuri's face was incredibly unsightly.

Damn these Hyuga clan ninja!

Her purple lightning attack just now could have perfectly covered the entire space trapped by the current.

Guy, who was inside the electric net, would have had no way to dodge.

But now, Ringo Ameyuri didn't even know if Guy had managed to evade it
