Some time ago, Konan had already witnessed the speed of these two, but she was also slightly impressed.
Her mind stirred. The paper wings behind her instantly flapped forward, directly sending her back dozens of meters. At the same time, countless paper pieces detached from her wings, automatically folding into paper airplanes in mid-air, which then shot towards Konan!
Whoosh!!!
Konan's Shikigami Dance swatted the air. The rapidly flowing air currents from her Great Sword-Muscle temporarily blocked the paper airplanes. Then, she was immediately sealed by the continuous stream of paper airplanes that followed. Konan's four paper wings, bolstered by the wind, granted her incredible speed and agility. She drew a 'Z' shape in the air, swiftly shaking off the paper airplanes' attacks. Simultaneously, like a flash of light, she dodged Konan. Konan's muscles on her face had already twisted.
Konan frowned, constantly retreating under the high-speed attack. Her other hand had already been raised.
... She also greatly increased her control over the paper, launching continuous interceptions and attacks at Konan.
But at this moment! Konan once again chose to use her muscle to push him back, but Konan did not continue to pursue him, but immediately retreated and pulled away the distance between them.
A bad premonition arose in Konan's heart, and a huge black shadow immediately enveloped her head!
Konan quickly looked up, only to see a giant plane of sand covering an area of hundreds of meters above her, and below her, there was a similar plane of sand.
The two planes, one above and one below, were sandwiching her in the middle!
At the same time, a huge amount of Nine-Tails' chakra surged into Mugetsu's black eye on his forehead, which instantly burst forth with boundless black mist. His left hand formed a hand seal in front of his body, his right hand extended his Black Staff forward a bit, and then, as if countless invisible hands moved simultaneously, two huge symbolic formations were drawn simultaneously on the two sand planes above and below!
Then, Konan saw Mugetsu's lips slightly curl upwards, and at the same time, he softly shouted, "Barrier - Inner Demon!"
The sand planes instantly transformed into a pure black color due to the symbols, and countless black arms stirred and drilled out from within!
From a distance, these black arms seemed to be slowly kneading Konan from both above and below.
But this slowness was merely a visual illusion. It was only because this formation was too vast, giving a false impression of slowness. In reality, the speed of these arms was extremely fast!
The attack covering hundreds of meters left Konan nowhere to escape!
In an instant, the black arms that were kneading from above and below simultaneously grabbed her body, then exerted force violently! Konan was easily torn into a pile of shattered paper!
It was indeed shattered paper, and a pile of it at that!!
"Dance of the Shikigami," Konan's voice suddenly rang out.
Countless white paper instantly appeared around Mugetsu and Konan, then formed into a paper dragon tornado that spun rapidly, instantly trapping the two people inside!
At the same time, a large quantity of paper also began to gather outside the paper dragon tornado, forming new shapes.
Mugetsu also recalled at this time that Konan's "Dance of the Shikigami" was like her and the Ghost Lantern's Water Transformation Technique. She could transform her body into paper to immunize herself against physical attacks.
And this Dance of the Shikigami could also be maintained until her chakra was completely depleted, which was a very troublesome ability. As more and more paper pieces spun rapidly around the two, Konan used a technique to form spherical shields around them, protecting both individuals.
However, the edges of the paper pieces, during their high-speed rotation, instantly became sharp blades, constantly slicing through the air, creating wound after wound.
Mugetsu looked at Konan. This battle was somewhat inexplicably strange, and continuing to fight would only waste time and energy, and bring no benefit. He wanted to retreat.
Thinking of this, he said to Konan, "Forget it, let's retreat. This is truly inexplicable."
After speaking, Mugetsu immediately drew in the chakra of the One-Tail and Nine-Tails, simultaneously injecting it into his forehead's Rinnegan.
Next, the power of Yin and Yang instantly created a large amount of water spheres around the two people. These water spheres were instantly swept into the paper tornado.
And just as fire is extinguished by water, paper also gets wet by water.
The paper caught in the paper tornado was instantly soaked.
But, no one knew the weakness of ninjutsu better than Konan, so to overcome this weakness, she had already prepared a countermeasure long ago!
Therefore, when she saw the paper getting soaked by water, Konan immediately raised her hands,
... And in an instant, all the paper within her body, which was flowing at high speed, was transformed into waterproof oil paper!
But!
It was also at this moment that Mugetsu's two Rinnegan eyes instantly lit up. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!
Under normal circumstances, whether it was water created from the natural world or water created from water-attribute chakra, it could not change its own nature.
But at this moment, the water that was swept into the paper dragon tornado was originally manifested by Mugetsu using the power of Yin and Yang. It inherently possessed no attributes!
In just an instant, these created water spheres disappeared, re-disintegrated into the power of Yin and Yang. But before the power of Yin and Yang could disperse, they were reunited by Mugetsu!
Then, in an instant, they were transformed into fire!
Whoosh—!!!
The oil paper instantly ignited with flames. The fierce whirlwind caused the fire dragon tornado to expand rapidly, and the paper dragon tornado instantly turned into a fire dragon tornado!
The oil paper was burned. Under Mugetsu's control, the fire dragon tornado transformed into a long fire dragon, charging directly towards Konan!
Konan quickly created fireproof paper in front of her to block the fire dragon's charge.
Taking this opportunity, Mugetsu and Konan immediately created a true barrier in front of them. The two instantly broke the sound barrier, rapidly flying towards the distance!
In just one second, they had already flown hundreds of meters away!
And Konan, at this moment, hadn't even turned her head back!
But at this moment, just below the two of them!
A tall, gigantic tree transformed into countless paper pieces and scattered. The Deva Path, hidden within, and Konan reached out, and a cold voice also resounded at this moment: "Universal Pull!"
Mugetsu's pupils suddenly constricted, because a terrifying repulsive force suddenly appeared on both of their bodies!
The gravitational pull caused their bodies to violently halt, stopping directly in mid-air. Then, the two of them were sucked by this gravitational force, pulled directly towards the ground, and quickly flew towards the Deva Path!
This gravitational force was so powerful that they could barely resist it!
Deva Path! Nagato!
Indeed, someone was still there!
Mugetsu's eyes flickered, then he immediately shouted at Konan, "Accelerate!!!"
Konan, understanding his intent, rapidly descended towards him with even greater speed, leveraging the gravitational pull of the Deva Path thanks to the four paper wings on her back. In an instant, she arrived before him!
At the same time, Konan gathered a large amount of chakra in her right arm, intending to strike the Deva Path with her Shikigami Dance!
Mugetsu's judgment was slightly unexpected for Nagato, but the Rinnegan brought him unparalleled dynamic vision. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had already anticipated Konan's movements and once again calmly said, "Shinra Tensei!"
In an instant, that irresistible repulsive force transformed into a terrifying crushing blow on Konan's body!
Konan gritted her teeth. Her fist was less than half a meter from the Deva Path's face, but she couldn't break through that half-meter distance!
Konan cursed under her breath, then with a jolt, she was instantly repelled by the repulsive force and flew backward!
Immediately following this, Mugetsu also saw this. Before the repulsive force arrived, he immediately swooped down and landed on the ground. At the same time, the black staff in his hand plunged into the earth. Then, he knelt on one knee, holding it with both hands, preparing to resist the impact of the Shinra Tensei!
In an instant, a powerful force surged through his entire body! It was as if he was directly facing a twelve-level typhoon. Mugetsu stared dead ahead, unmoving!
At this moment, Konan was repelled from the front, and Mugetsu's pupils suddenly narrowed. A piece of purple wing instantly transformed into an arm, grabbing Konan, and stabilizing her body!
But at this moment, the same side had already pursued Konan, who was above them.
Konan, who had already launched a long-range attack with sharp paper airplanes, directly struck Konan's purple arm, sending Konan flying backward!
Moments later, the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei finally ended, but Konan also blocked Konan's front.
Mugetsu faced the Deva Path directly! Seeing this scene, Konan immediately shouted, "Brother Mugetsu!"
Mugetsu's eyes narrowed, then he shook his head at Konan, signaling her not to worry.
Because the black staff he had plunged into the earth had already completely formed a huge symbolic formation underground! Mugetsu looked at Nagato before him... No, more accurately, it should be the Deva Path among the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato!
Nagato controlled six corpses from behind, collectively known as the Six Paths of Pain.
They were the Deva Path, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, and Naraka Path.
Each corpse had different abilities, among which the Deva Path's body was made from Nagato's and Konan's most important companion, so its power was the strongest. At the same time, it was also the apparent leader of the Akatsuki organization.
All six corpses were filled with Yin and Yang chakra rods, resembling lead pencils. These black rods seemed to be able to receive signals transmitted by Nagato, and thereby control the corpses to move.
The range of this signal transmission was not far, so the Six Paths and Nagato would not appear alone. Since the Deva Path was here, Nagato must be nearby.
And the remaining five paths were also not far from Nagato, otherwise, they would lose Nagato's control and revert to inanimate corpses.
However, this also revealed something. Under the circumstance that the Six Paths were all present, they did not choose to overwhelm You Xuan and Konan, which indicated that their intention was likely not to seek trouble.
Mugetsu pondered slightly. The current Nagato, due to the Rinnegan, was a very valuable existence. His combat skills were formidable, and even when facing a Six-Tails transformed individual and Konan simultaneously, he would not suffer any losses.
However, the Double Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was their trump card, and Mugetsu didn't want to reveal it so easily.
Moreover, a plan targeting Nagato had already formed in Mugetsu's mind. Perhaps in the near future, he could use the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode to resolve Nagato.
Thinking of this, he said to Nagato and Konan, "What exactly do the 'god' and 'angel' of Akatsuki want from us? Or should we just talk openly?"
His identity exposed, the Deva Path looked at Konan, nodded at her, signaling her to stop there. Then he spoke without hesitation, "It seems you know quite a lot about us."
"How could the defection of an S-rank missing-nin not attract attention?"
Konan and Konan saw that the other party had already started talking, so they also put down their intention to fight.
However, just as Konan was about to go and meet with the Deva Path, she noticed Konan staring dumbfounded at her forehead.
Huh? What's so strange about a single forehead protector?
Konan secretly shook her head, sighing that Konan was still a child. It was just a forehead protector, what was so strange about it?
But at this moment, she saw Konan suddenly look towards her chest, her eyes wide with bewilderment.
Huh?
"Huh!!!!!!"
Konan suddenly reacted and fiercely hugged her chest. She instantly turned to the side, asking frantically, "You, what are you looking at!?"
"Ah, no, nothing!" Konan also reacted abnormally. Her face flushed red, and she looked around anxiously, saying, "I, I, I'm leaving first!"
After speaking, without waiting for Mugetsu to respond, Konan ran straight towards Mugetsu. However, just as she had run a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
Her face flushed, her eyes not daring to look at Konan. She said with a face full of admiration, "This guy... I didn't expect him to be so amazing."
With a gasp, as if a bolt of lightning had struck Konan, her face filled with shock. Her soul directly left her body!
Konan anxiously reached out towards Konan's back. "Wait, wait!!! I didn't! I didn't!!!!"
