"What are you muttering about!" Ye Liang interrupted the two. He raised his hand and released the seal of the Six Red Yang Formation, clearing a path for the two pale-faced youths. "Since my wife has decided to let you go, I will honor her words. Consider yourselves lucky to escape."
He gestured up to the sky.
The two naturally understood his meaning.
"We'll leave immediately!" The pale-faced youth bowed and then flew away from the scene.
Several hours later.
Deep in the mountains of Hot Spring Valley.
The golden Buddha statue, previously struck by lightning, glared at the golden-armored man. "You brat Tenji! You actually dared to follow me to my lair! Are you not afraid I'll take your life!"
The golden-armored man was unsurprised by the Buddha statue's words.
"Hmph! Your Immortal Body was already destroyed by Old Man Dugu! You're nothing but a dying force now! I'll collect your soul right here and use it to replenish Kaguya's planet!"
"Just try it!"
The two were about to launch an attack!
At that moment, the pale-faced youths who had been driven away by Ye Liang earlier came flying in from afar, panic evident on their faces. "Something terrible has happened, Lord Tenji! Big trouble!"
"What's all the panic about?" The golden-armored man frowned at the newcomers, signaling them to calm down.
How could the two youths possibly calm down?
They both blurted out at the same time, frantic and unintelligible.
"Ginshi, you explain!" The golden-armored man furrowed his brows.
The man called Ginshi immediately steadied himself.
"Lord Tenji, it's really bad! That traitor Kaguya actually married a monkey on Earth, and they've already had their own offspring!"
"What did you say!"
The golden-armored man's face twisted in rage, his eyes turning red with fury.
"That's impossible! Even if that fool Kaguya went blind, how could she possibly take interest in a monkey! And with her cold, aloof personality, how could she suddenly agree to marry!"
"But it's true! Doushi and I saw it with our own eyes! She's even pregnant!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ginshi made a gesture indicating a big belly.
The golden Buddha statue suddenly burst into laughter.
"The proud Princess of the Otsutsuki marrying a monkey and even bearing his child! Haha, I'm laughing myself to death!" He rolled around in the broken-down temple while clutching his stomach.
What a spectacle!
The golden-armored man's face darkened.
"I'll deal with you later!" He glared at the golden Buddha statue, then stormed off after the pale-faced youths.
Seeing them leave, the golden Buddha statue stood upright.
His demeanor instantly shifted from playful to serious as he gazed toward the direction of Otogakure. "Ye Liang, Ye Liang, Figures you wouldn't lend me the space-time artifact. Heh, time to reap what you sow!"
With that, he flew into the sky.
Otogakure!
After learning that a Branch member always had a Main family member hiding behind him, Ye Liang had been sitting at the center of Otogakure. He had already sent all the villagers away and didn't even leave a single attendant behind.
A bolt of lightning cracked through the sky!
A shadow wearing a golden helmet suddenly appeared in midair! With a single hand, he tore open the spatial dimension and descended from the clouds.
"So you're Ye Liang!"
The dark figure glared at Ye Liang with red eyes.
Ye Liang smiled faintly.
He stood up and eyed up the man before him.
Wearing a golden helmet, his body was powerful and imposing. Except for his pale complexion, his appearance was undeniably top-tier.
"I am Ye Liang! And who are you!"
"I am Otsutsuki Tenji!"
The man in the golden helmet showed no hesitation, fury evident on his face: "Don't you know Kaguya was promised to me by her family elder long ago? If I hadn't felt pity for her youth, letting her go out alone would have been unforgivable!
You insolent monkey!
Daring to defile my fiancée! I'll end your life right here!" As he spoke, his anger suddenly exploded. In an instant, he launched a punch with teleportation speed straight at Ye Liang!
[Amenominaka + Eight Hundred Gods of Heaven Strike!]
"So sudden!"
Startled, Ye Liang quickly dodged from his original spot. Seeing the fist continuing toward him, he immediately called upon the power of Tenseigan.
The space became intangible!
"Merely a petty trick!"
Otsutsuki Tenji was momentarily stunned, then with a single hand seal, a giant black hand descended from above. Somehow locking onto Ye Liang's location, it tore through space directly toward where he was hiding!
"This can't be!"
Ye Liang was shocked!
Before he could even recover himself, the black hand dragged him back from the spatial dimension into reality.
"What's so impossible about it?"
Crossing his arms, Tenji glared at Ye Liang. "Space travel has always been the specialty of the Otsutsuki Main Clan. How could I, an elite member of the Otsutsuki Clan, not master such a basic technique?
You dare to use something as simple as a travel method as your ultimate skill, you little monkey? Truly laughable!"
Ye Liang was taken aback.
He never expected his life-saving technique to be no more than a basic travel jutsu for the other side.
Immediately, he tried to break free from the black hand's grasp.
At that very moment, the air abruptly fell silent!
[Time Freeze!]
It was a jutsu from the Rinnegan! Surprised, Ye Liang hurriedly used the same technique too!
*Clang!*
Two gray-white qi streams instantly collided midair.
Everything touched by these black-and-white energies immediately froze in action, dumbly falling down.
"I didn't expect you to even know this technique."
Otsutsuki Tenji gave Ye Liang a slightly elevated glance, then hurled a red orb forward!
[Truth-Seeking Balls!]
And it was red—a red Truth-Seeking Ball.
Ye Liang was startled.
In haste, he ended the time freeze and instead released several green orbs using the Tenseigan, sending them clashing against the red one.
*Boom!* The immense explosion echoed across the heavens.
A mushroom cloud covered the entire Otogakure. At the critical moment, Ye Liang quickly used Amenominaka to evacuate everyone within Otogakure.
The only one left was the man in the golden helmet.
"Hmph! You're strong. But I, Ye Liang, will never back down like this! Even if I must fight until death, I'll still rip off a piece of your skin!"
From the spatial dimension, he retrieved his final weapon—the Chaotic Cursed Blade!
This cursed blade, forged from Yomi (the underworld) and the power of the mortal world, immediately caused Otsutsuki Tenji to show visible emotion: "So you actually possess such a treasure."
"Hehe! There's plenty you don't know yet."
Ye Liang scoffed coldly and slashed downward swiftly with the cursed blade in his hand!
The spatial dimension was instantly ripped open.
The sky roared, seawater surged upward, and the immense atmospheric pressure shook the land of the Hot Spring Valley itself.
The trembling—it was an earthquake!
The thunderous rumble—it was a volcanic eruption!
Ye Liang's slash carried the illusion of shattering the entire planet!
[The next second!]
The blade was blocked…
Otsutsuki Tenji caught Ye Liang's all-out strike with just two fingers.
"The blade may be top-notch, but you're pathetically weak! With just this level of strength, you can't even survive within our Otsutsuki Clan, let alone the Otsutsuki Main Clan!"
"How is this possible!"
Ye Liang stood there in disbelief, staring at what had just happened.
He was crushed! Not a shred of hope remained.
