Chapter 1024: The Price of Error
Kito Hozuki was definitely a very dangerous shinobi. If he wanted to kill Mei Terumi, all he had to do was create this dangerous steam tyrant, but apparently because he didn't want to harm his village, he didn't use this technique in the end.
The little clone began to grow rapidly and soon became almost five meters tall again.
— Hydraulic equipment...
*Ding~*
The water clones that had previously run towards Su Xiao were suddenly cut by blue threads.
Seeing these threads, Kito Hozuki felt a bad feeling.
And his intuition was right. When it should have become water, the thread wrapped around his leg.
Water splashed onto the ground along with blood…
The thread was able to cut through a portion of his calf muscle, and although it couldn't go any further, Qing Gang Yin's energy took advantage of this opportunity to enter his body.
Kito Hozuki immediately felt the foreign energy, and the first thing she did was to destroy his chakra, although since this energy was not very much, she would not be able to deal irreparable damage to him in a short time.
After realizing this, Kito Hozuki decided to use his chakra to expel this energy from his body, however, although it was not enough, it was extremely stubborn and slowly destroyed the chakra inside his body, creating a dull pain.
With a sigh of relief, he stopped touching that energy. Although it destroyed his chakra, it wouldn't be able to affect their fight in a short amount of time.
But was Qing Gang Yin's energy really weak? Of course not, Su Xiao was just suppressing her as best he could. Because of this, he couldn't even move, although he didn't need to move at all right now, because he was waiting for the right opportunity.
Kito Hozuki glanced at his clone, which could explode at any moment. Then he looked at Su Xiao in the crystal ball.
The two explosions couldn't kill Su Xiao, but if his clone exploded a few more times, the Su Xiao in this crystal ball would definitely be steamed.
— Kito Hozuki said and formed hand seals, and just as his body started to turn into water, his heart suddenly stopped for a moment.
— … — Pausing for a second, Kito Hozuki understood how his opponent was able to kill the Raikage. Because of this energy and the pain it carried, he momentarily lost his concentration and was unable to turn into water.
If Su Xiao got close to him, he would definitely die. He was now certain that he couldn't give his opponent a moment's rest.
Once Su Xiao got close to him, he would die.
Although he was able to hide in the ground for the first time, this option would simply not work now, as even the ground around them became hot.
The only problem was that this high temperature affected his body as well. Even though he was doing everything he could to ensure that his body was practically unaffected, the power of this vapor was too great for him to be able to level it out.
— Explode! Kito shouted to Hozuki.
He decided to kill Su Xiao at all costs.
His clone quickly expanded to five meters.
*BOOM!*
Kito Hozuki himself started to turn into water before the explosion, but at such a critical moment, his body was suddenly filled with pain.
The Qing Gang Yin energy, which had been suppressed by Su Xiao all this time, abruptly activated and began to devour the chakra in Kito Hozuki's body, dealing him 328 true damage.
A sudden burst of pain nearly knocked Kito Hozuki out of consciousness.
*Boom!*
There was another explosion, and the ground beneath Kito Hozuki's feet lifted with him.
— You've calculated everything...
Kito Hozuki only managed to turn his head and neck into water before the scalding steam engulfed his body.
His skin was instantly burned to a purplish-black color, and the muscles under his skin were rapidly contracting.
Although Su Xiao hadn't been able to get close to Kito before, he was able to leave a small spider-shaped alchemy bomb near him.
The moment Su Xiao was sent flying, this spider burrowed into the ground under Kito Hozuki and waited for an order.
If Kito hadn't given him so many clues, Su Xiao wouldn't have been able to find the loophole in his defense so quickly.
It only took him five minutes to destroy the defense he had been working on for ten years.
This was not a display of genius, but a banal scam.
Su Xiao hadn't thought about destroying his clone to begin with. From the very beginning, he was only focused on himself. As soon as Kito dies, so will his clone.
Scorching steam filled the forest, but such an abnormal temperature could not last long in a winter climate.
After about a few seconds, the water vapor temperature dropped to about 100 degrees.
Normally, Kito Hozuki would have immediately formed a new clone out of him, but right now, he was nowhere to be seen.
As the steam began to dissipate rapidly, a crystal ball popped out of the ground. From a distance, it did look like a crystal ball, but up close, it looked like a double barrier of shields.
The energy shields in the next moment flew out in all directions, exuding scorching heat.
Su Xiao, his clothes soaked with sweat, sighed.
There were faint burns on his cheeks and neck, but overall he didn't look too bad.
As the cold wind blew over his body, Su Xiao's mind cleared up a bit.
— Bad luck, " Su Xiao said as he exhaled hot air.
He had come here to kill Mei Terumi, but Mei Terumi's bodyguard was actually stronger than her.
Steam rose high into the sky like a white column of mist...
The heat quickly turned to cold, and hail began to fall from the sky.
Su Xiao walked over to Kito Hozuki and at the same time started to empty the potion bottle №1.
After drinking half of it, he poured the remaining half onto his palm and began to lean it against the biggest burns.
— As expected from ... my… A cellmate, " a faint voice suddenly rang out from the steam clouds. "When you are.".. I saw the danger... How could you think of an answer so quickly? It's impossible to find a flaw so quickly, " Kito Hozuki's voice became very weak.
It didn't take a genius to know that he was going to die soon.
He was caught in the epicenter of the explosion without any protection.
— I'm just a lot smarter, " Su Xiao replied, stepping forward and cutting his throat with the sword blade without hesitation before picking up the chest from the ground and turning around.
He had to help Bubtney and Amu as soon as possible.
And at that moment, he received a message from Bubtney, the content of which was very simple: "Master, Mei Terumi decided to run away when she saw the new steam pillar!»
Su Xiao immediately rushed towards Bubtni and Amu at full speed.
Mei Terumi was still as sly as ever.
As soon as it smelled fried, she immediately decided to run away.
