"Can you take out a memory disc?"
Linto decided to try a different approach.
"No way."
White Snake said, "Its will and body are tightly connected, unless you can beat it so badly it can't get up again, or give me enough time to take out a memory disc."
Linto nodded.
White Snake is only good for sneak attacks or dealing with defeated enemies.
Against White Snake Sage, who can see everything in the ninja world and is good at controlling the power of nature, surprise attacks and sneak attacks are useless.
Even if White Snake Sage is beaten to a pulp, it can still fight back and dodge.
"Snack's" head rolled on the ground.
Linto silently stared at it for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Sasuke, listen to my instructions later and use Ninjutsu Nullification."
Sasuke's eyes widened, "Brother Shou, do you have a way to kill this smelly snake?"
"Let's just say it's an attempt, get ready—"
As Linto spoke, Star Platinum appeared, grabbed Sasuke's collar, and lifted him high.
"Huh?!" Sasuke was stunned for a moment.
"Ora!"
Star Platinum threw him violently into the air.
"Aaaaaah—"
Sasuke cried out in alarm.
At the same time, Linto once again carried the Ruin Greatsword and charged towards White Snake Sage.
White Snake Sage sneered, "You can try a thousand times, ten thousand times, it's useless!"
It manipulated the earth, and fists formed from the earth slammed towards Linto.
Linto weaved through the earth fists, occasionally stepping on them with his feet to further accelerate his fall, just as the distance between the person and the snake shrank to a hundred meters.
"Stop it! Time!"
The world turned gray and white, Linto continued to charge, his feet slamming heavily on the ground.
The ground shattered, and under the effect of time stop, countless fragments of rock solidified in the air.
Linto grabbed the Ruin Greatsword with both hands.
Whoosh—
Hot golden flames burst out from the hole in the back of the sword. The Dragon Snake Jewel continuously absorbed the power of nature from within a few kilometers, and the sword instantly grew to a hundred meters long.
"Give me—"
The long sword swung, and the earth beneath White Snake Sage was forcefully cut open horizontally.
Linto gripped the long sword tightly, and all the strength in his body surged into his arms. He heard a tearing sound, and the clothes on his arms shattered.
He was like a chef tossing a wok, suddenly flipping upwards.
"Fly!"
White Snake Sage's huge body soared into the air.
Linto carried the sword and followed closely behind.
The long sword was like a baseball bat, and along with Star Platinum's fists, it repeatedly beat on White Snake Sage's butt.
In the blink of an eye, they had flown a hundred meters high.
This was Linto's plan.
Since White Snake Sage's power came from the earth.
And the earth controlled by "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" could not reach a thousand meters in the air.
Then, as long as White Snake Sage was thrown to a high enough position, it would be unable to absorb the life force from the earth, right?
Of course, even if it couldn't fuse with the ground, White Snake Sage itself possessed the power of nature accumulated over a thousand years of cultivation.
But as long as it was an "individual's" power, there would eventually be a moment when it was exhausted!
"Hmm?"
Time began to flow again.
A gust of wind blew on White Snake Sage's body, and it stared at the earth in bewilderment.
Since cultivating Sage Jutsu and fusing with the earth, White Snake Sage had never left the ground. It hadn't looked down on the earth for hundreds of years.
In its heart, there was first surprise, and then immediately…
Panic!
Life force was being consumed!
White Snake Sage stared at Linto who was constantly swinging the sword.
"It's useless! This is useless!"
It was only two or three hundred meters from the ground and could still use Sage Jutsu.
The earth rumbled, and a straight pillar rose up.
As long as it touched the earth, all its injuries would disappear.
But—
Boom!
The stone pillar that had just risen collapsed.
White Snake Sage couldn't sense even a trace of Sage Jutsu.
Ninjutsu Nullification… It turned its head and stared intently at Sasuke, who was falling from another direction in the sky.
Nullification was fleeting, but when White Snake Sage wanted to use inorganic reincarnation again, it was too late.
Linto activated time stop again.
When White Snake Sage's vision changed again, it found itself at a thousand meters in the air.
It had escaped the range of "Inorganic Reincarnation"!
"From now on, you are no longer the 'Sage' who controls the earth and is immortal, but…"
Linto stared coldly at its huge eyes:
"My 'Snack'."
This was not a threat.
White Snake Sage truly saw a non-human "hunger" in Linto's eyes.
One Garaga could give Linto 800 soul shards.
How much benefit could a White Snake Sage bring?
Linto really wanted to know, and he also wanted to let White Snake Sage know—
What it felt like to be treated as a "Snack."
Star Platinum and Linto were like two of the fiercest meat grinders. White Snake Sage's flesh and blood, bones, fell from the sky like a rain of pear blossoms.
The life force accumulated over a thousand years of cultivation poured out endlessly like a flood.
Death was approaching.
White Snake Sage's pair of snake eyes constricted, and its jade-like scales trembled violently. Traces of blood spread over them, staining the edges of the scales red, making it look extremely ferocious.
Whoosh!
A sharp claw tore through flesh and blood, growing out of White Snake Sage's lower abdomen.
Then came the second, the third...
It stopped only after the fourth claw.
However, the last claw was extremely withered, like a malnourished and deformed child.
"I am the Dragon-Transforming White Snake!"
White Snake Sage roared.
It soared into the air, its scales flashed with light, and with a bang, they turned into countless blades that flew out, stabbing towards Linto.
Star Platinum appeared, and a flurry of punches knocked away the scales.
But White Snake Sage seized the opportunity and turned to flee, flying straight towards the earth.
Linto followed closely behind.
This was a seesaw battle with life as the bet.
Blood filled the sky, shattered scales, White Snake Sage's roar.
Its life force was rapidly being consumed.
White Snake Sage couldn't imagine why the punches and sword strikes from a human and an evil spirit were so painful?
It looked at the earth, which was less than five hundred meters away.
So close!
As long as it could return to the ground, back into the embrace of the earth, it would be…
A reversal of the situation!
White Snake Sage made a decision. It didn't care about what kind of secluded life it was living.
It couldn't kill Linto flying in the sky, but couldn't it kill his friends? Family?
With White Snake Sage's abilities, everything happening in the ninja world couldn't escape its eyes. It could find everyone Linto knew and kill them!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another time stop. Countless droplets of blood burst from White Snake Sage's body. It was back to about seven hundred meters in the air, and its life force had almost reached the bottom.
But—
A towering stone pillar was rushing towards White Snake Sage.
Just now, White Snake Sage had successfully activated Inorganic Reincarnation, and the distance between it and the stone pillar was…
Only a short fifty meters.
White Snake Sage was clear that every time Linto used that strange ability to move it into the air, he needed a short rest time, and it would touch the stone pillar before Linto activated time stop again.
With just a moment's touch, all of Linto's previous efforts would be wasted. White Snake Sage would immediately遁入 the ground and wouldn't give Linto another chance to throw it into the sky.
White Snake Sage grinned and laughed wildly, "Linto! The ultimate winner is me!"
It crashed headfirst into the stone pillar.
The next second, the stone pillar turned into a pure white candle.
"What?!"
White Snake Sage suddenly realized, "Illusion!"
White Snake appeared, one hand on her hip, "Did you know? When the same individuals from two parallel worlds meet, an annihilation phenomenon will naturally occur, and only one will be left."
White Snake Sage: "Huh?"
"What I mean is—"
White Snake raised her chin and pointed at White Snake Sage, "In this world, one 'White Snake' is enough!"
Sage Jutsu surged, and White Snake Sage forcibly解除 the illusion.
White Snake had tried her best, but she had only created a brief illusion.
White Snake Sage was still six hundred meters in the air.
But the stone pillar summoned earlier with Inorganic Reincarnation...
Disappeared.
Or rather, it was never truly summoned.
It was all an illusion.
White Snake Sage activated Inorganic Reincarnation again.
Everything was the same as before, but it was a second slower than its original plan.
Compared to White Snake Sage's thousand years of life, an absurdly short second.
But it was this difference of a second.
White Snake Sage heard Linto's breathing behind it change from hurried to steady.
It suddenly turned around and roared:
"Lin—Qing—"
"Star Platinum: The World!"
The world turned gray and white.
Linto stepped on the air, step by step, and came to White Snake Sage, holding the long sword high in his hand.
Star Platinum stood on the other side, fists clenched.
"Oraoraoraoraoraora!"
"Oraoraoraoraoraora!"
"Oraoraoraoraoraora!"
"Oraoraoraoraoraora!"
Time began to flow again.
Only a snake head remained, shrouded in a special force, preventing it from shattering.
Linto held the snake head in one hand.
A system notification sounded in his ear:
"Killed White Snake Sage, 3000 soul shards."
