It's just the aging effect on the cells afterward.
The bleeding had already stopped.
Shiki Uzumaki quietly sighed. If that were the case, things would become much simpler from now on.
"Brat, ready to die!"
Duy Ni roared loudly. A massive amount of chakra gathered on his fist.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Punch!"
With one hand forming a hand seal, once the final seal was completed, the chakra already accumulated on his right hand transformed into countless blue-violet electric arcs crackling in the air.
Visually speaking, this punch seemed as powerful as Kakashi's Chidori. However, lacking the chakra precision and high-speed friction of the Chidori, its power was naturally somewhat reduced.
Still, it remained extremely threatening!
"Earth Release: Lithification Jutsu!"
Immediately after Duy Ni, the captain beside him also used an Earth Release technique. Yet similar to Duy Ni, he wasn't trying to use this Earth Release for defense.
Instead, he made his fists even harder!
The other captain didn't fall behind either, swinging his sword and charging forward.
He wasn't a ninja, but a samurai—a master swordsman from an ancient warrior class.
His chakra had concentrated onto his blade; the sharp edge appeared to be slicing through the air itself.
This time, three opponents attacked simultaneously—Duy Ni aimed directly at the child ahead.
Meanwhile, the two captains flanked the boy from both sides, creating what seemed like an inescapable situation.
No matter how good his taijutsu was, there was no escape this time!
Yet another sigh rang in their ears.
Then, within their sensory perception, the space suddenly seemed filled with countless tiny, sharp objects.
Silent and unnoticeable at first, they slashed through everything in their path toward the attackers.
A dense wave of chakra scalpel needles, like a wall, blocked every possible escape route.
And under such immense speed, evasion became utterly impossible.
Puk!
Almost simultaneously, all three spat blood.
The chakra gathered on their hands or swords gradually dissipated.
Their chakra meridians had been pierced by these densely packed needles—with no resistance whatsoever.
Everything happened in an instant, so fast that the red-haired child hadn't even finished sighing yet.
[Chakra Scalpel: Needle Rain.]
Only after everything ended did the young man slowly utter the name of the jutsu he had used.
The sound died down, leaving only the three of them staggering on their feet.
Even though the effectiveness of those chakra scalpel needles was partially reduced due to their own chakra interference,
the invasion of foreign chakra still left them severely wounded.
"How… How could you have such a technique?"
Eyes wide open, Duy Ni couldn't believe it—he simply couldn't understand how this child had defeated all three of them in one strike.
"You're not the only one with tricks up your sleeve—I've got ways to stop you too."
Shiki Uzumaki gripped his sword, staring into Duy Ni's terrified eyes as he slowly approached.
Like an executioner appearing just in time to carry out a sentence of death.
[Chakra Scalpel: Needle Rain]
As time passed, even Shiki Uzumaki had almost forgotten that he'd once created such a technique.
Even today, Shiki remained amazed at how he'd managed to create something with such destructive power.
Perhaps only those pushed to the edge could summon such extraordinary strength.
Duy Ni concealed his malicious gaze. "Looks like you do have the strength worthy of my allegiance. If that's the case, I'm willing to serve under you."
Of course Ni wouldn't willingly submit, but for now survival came first!
As long as he lived, those he considered enemies would eventually die.
Including this red-haired kid standing before him.
"No, I've suddenly changed my mind."
Shiki said calmly, then raised his sword high.
"If I must twist my own will just for some benefit, then what exactly is the meaning of my existence?"
With those words, the Seiquan Sword fell and blood splattered across the ground. To be continued...
Chapter 237 Politics
"How could this happen?"
Two of Duy Ni's subordinates clearly couldn't make sense of the current situation. In the blink of an eye, that child who used to be easily manipulated had become the one holding the butcher knife.
And now their lives were entirely in someone else's hands.
"I'm sorry. For a moment, I did hesitate—even considered letting you both live as possible allies."
Seeing the two men completely powerless before him, Shiki sheathed his Seiquan Sword and began explaining his thoughts at length.
He could be rather verbose at times—always explaining his motives when doing something that might seem questionable.
Just like how he was now, explaining why he had to kill these people.
The difference was, these people had no chance to refuse—they could only listen as Shiki stated his reasons for killing them,
quietly awaiting their deaths.
