Seeing Li Chuan flee with the sealing scroll on his back, Danzo and his two subordinates were unwilling to give up and also jumped down from the third floor.
"Secret Art: Phosphorous Annihilation Insects!"
After landing, Aburame Takeji immediately activated a Ninjutsu, and a large swarm of highly poisonous insects transformed into a dark cloud, flying towards Li Chuan.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Li Chuan raised his magic wand and cast a Freezing Charm at the Phosphorous Annihilation Insects that were trying to envelop him.
The reason Aburame Takeji could become a Jonin was because the insects on his body were different from those of ordinary Aburame clan members; they didn't just absorb the enemy's Chakra, but also contained a special, potent venom.
Once they covered an enemy, the venomous insects would immediately infiltrate the enemy's body cells to cause destruction, capable of taking a life within a few seconds.
Even Li Chuan, who considered his body strong, dared not let these venomous insects get close to him.
Fortunately, he had a magic spell that was very suitable for dealing with insects: a wide-range restraining magic, or more accurately, a wide-range restraining magic with time-based properties—the Freezing Charm.
This magic could not only freeze small animals in place but also affect small technological items like Muggle burglar alarms.
Hermione had used this spell in class to freeze a group of mischievous Cornish Pixies.
However, it couldn't affect larger animals or machines.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"
Aburame Takeji was somewhat stunned when he saw his most powerful Phosphorous Annihilation Insects frozen motionless in mid-air.
Is it a Body Binding Jutsu from Genjutsu? Impossible, Genjutsu only targets sentient beings, his insects couldn't be affected by Genjutsu.
"Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
Meanwhile, Fu Yamanaka, taking advantage of Li Chuan freezing the insects, was about to activate the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu on Li Chuan to seize his body, but suddenly found countless ice senbon shooting towards him from a distance.
"Water Release Secret Art: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
It turned out to be White, who had been hiding nearby and rushed over after discovering the battle.
To avoid being shot down by the large number of ice senbon, Fu Yamanaka had no choice but to stop casting his Ninjutsu, draw his long sword, and quickly deflect all the senbon.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
At the same time, a large amount of dense fog suddenly rose over the plaza, blurring everyone's vision.
Clearly, Zabuza had also arrived.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
A moment later, the sound of kunai clashing also rang out from Aburame Takeji's side.
"Perfect timing, I'll leave those two to you."
Li Chuan smiled at the sight and charged directly towards Danzo.
He had long anticipated Danzo's interference, so he had already shared information about Danzo and his subordinates with Zabuza and White in advance.
While the two might not be able to kill Aburame Takeji and Fu Yamanaka, delaying them for a period of time wouldn't be a big problem.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Danzo pulled out his right hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve, formed hand signs with both hands, and exhaled, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that not only temporarily halted Li Chuan's advance but also completely dispersed Zabuza's dense fog.
"It seems you came prepared. Are you Orochimaru's people? No, Orochimaru doesn't need the sealing scroll. Could you be from the Hidden Mist Village?"
Although Zabuza and White had used Transformation Technique to change their appearances, their characteristic Water Release Ninjutsu could not be hidden.
Therefore, Danzo made that judgment after a brief observation.
"Guess?"
How could Li Chuan tell Danzo the answer? His figure flickered as he charged towards Danzo again, while his magic wand began to unleash Explosion Spells at Danzo.
With so many Sharingan and First Hokage's cells transplanted into that old man Danzo, Stupefy Curse and binding curses probably wouldn't be very effective. Only purely destructive magic spells would have the best effect.
Of course, in terms of lethality, the Curse of Slaying would definitely be the best, but he didn't want to kill Danzo just yet; keeping him alive would be useful later.
And Danzo, as the Second Hokage's disciple, a man who once contended with the Third Hokage for the position of Hokage, although he was no longer young and couldn't openly use the Sharingan and Wood Release, his strength was still considerable.
With just his Taijutsu, his masterful Wind Release Ninjutsu, and Sealing Jutsu, he possessed at least the strength of an Elite Jonin.
Therefore, with Li Chuan only using magic and not entering his Second Form, he truly couldn't quickly get close enough to obtain Danzo's blood for a while.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
While dodging Li Chuan's Explosion Spells, Danzo formed hand signs and, like a machine gun, unleashed a barrage of Wind Release at Li Chuan, forcing Li Chuan to once again create distance and dodge.
"The destructive power of this Vacuum Sphere really can't be underestimated."
As Li Chuan dodged, he noticed that Danzo's Wind Release was indeed formidable; a stone monument on the plaza, almost half a person's height, was directly shattered into pieces after being hit.
However, the shock in Danzo's heart was no less than Li Chuan's.
He just felt that the Ninjutsu of this Ninja opposite him couldn't be identified by any attribute, yet its power was astonishing. A blue light shot out, and no matter where it hit, it created a large crater.
He felt that if he were hit, his body might be directly pulverized.
The key was that besides casting Ninjutsu, he also interspersed shuriken, as constantly casting Ninjutsu consumed a lot of Chakra.
But the blue lights from the guy opposite were one after another, as if he didn't need to consider Chakra consumption at all, his Chakra reserves were truly astonishing.
However, he wasn't worried, because when he jumped downstairs earlier, he had already sent a signal to the Root Ninja, and soon a large number of Root Ninja would arrive as reinforcements. As long as he stalled for time, even without using the power of the Sharingan and Wood Release, the three of them wouldn't be able to escape.
"Obscurus!"
Seeing that he couldn't get close, and with time running out for the Shadow Clone at the Chunin Exams venue, Li Chuan stopped casting Explosion Spells and instead released a Smoke Screen Charm to envelop himself.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Danzo once again used a wide-range Wind Release to blow away the smoke, then threw several shuriken imbued with sharp Wind Release Chakra at Li Chuan's position.
At this moment, Li Chuan seemed to have anticipated it; he already held a large shield emblazoned with a dragon head in his hand, and, enduring the Wind Release shuriken, he charged towards Danzo like a bulldozer.
"Did you take out a blade tool from a sealing scroll? Hmph, do you think that can stop me!"
Danzo formed a more complex hand sign with both hands and spat fiercely at Li Chuan, who was charging straight at him:
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
Instantly, seven or eight sharp blasts, like blades, shot out, instantly splitting the seemingly incredibly sturdy dragon-head shield into several pieces, and also striking Li Chuan's body.
"Bang!"
However, there was no scene of flesh and blood splattering; Li Chuan vanished into a puff of smoke.
"Oh no, it's a Shadow Clone, where is his real body?"
Danzo's pupils constricted, and he immediately began to turn his eyes, searching for Li Chuan's true body.
It was at this moment that he felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind him.
