The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 409 Payne
According to common sense, even a strong ninja would struggle to some extent when facing this move of hers, but the person in front of her did not move at all, which made her feel that something was wrong.

Just when Xiaonan was puzzled, suddenly, the papers tightly wrapped around Weiss began to burn. The fire spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, all the papers were burned to ashes, turning into a pile of ashes floating in the air.

Weiss, on the other hand, stood there intact, without even a wrinkle on his clothes.

"It seems that this is no ordinary ninja."

Seeing this, Xiaonan became more serious. She knew very well that the person who could resolve her move so easily was definitely not an ordinary person. She put away her previous contempt and became serious.

Immediately afterwards, Konan formed seals with his hands again and performed an even more powerful paper-style ninjutsu. For a moment, paper swept towards Weiss from all directions like a surging wave, and every piece of paper turned into a sharp blade.

However, Weiss was not in a hurry. He just raised his hand slightly, and invisible forces surged out from his palm, blocking and shattering the papers attacking him.

Seeing this, Xiaonan gritted her teeth and continued to increase her chakra output. Her attack became more and more fierce, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through Weiss's defense. On the contrary, her own chakra was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye due to this high-intensity consumption.

A minute later, Konan's face became paler and paler, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead. She knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily, her body trembling slightly due to the depletion of chakra.

At this moment, she no longer had the calmness and coldness she had before, and her eyes were full of fatigue and unwillingness.

Weiss, on the other hand, extended his finger, and a thumb-sized blue ball of light hovered on the tip of his finger.

It was exactly the chakra that he had just extracted from Xiaonan's body. Weiss looked at the ball of light, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "Chakra, nothing more than that."

Just when he fought with Konan, he had already figured out the principles of chakra with his powerful perception and unique understanding of energy.

He knew that this was just a form of energy that could be controlled and utilized, and it was not considered mysterious among the many power systems he had seen.

"Who are you?"

Xiaonan forced herself to stand up slowly from the ground, her eyes full of disbelief and unwillingness.

As a very powerful member of Akatsuki, she never thought that she would be defeated so easily by an unknown person who had never been heard of before. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her proud strength.

[He is not from one of the five great nations, yet he possesses such terrifying strength.]

Xiaonan thought to herself that before this, she had never received any information about Weiss, and it was as if this person appeared out of thin air.

But now, this mysterious man was like an insurmountable mountain, standing in front of her, making her feel unprecedented pressure.

Weiss, however, seemed not to have heard Xiaonan's question and did not respond. He just raised his head slightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the surrounding space and looked at a corner hidden in the dark: "Aren't you coming out yet?"

As his words fell, a strange wave spread in the air, and then the figure of 'Heavenly Way' Pain slowly emerged.

"Paine, be careful, this person is not simple."

Konan hurriedly reminded her. She knew very well how powerful Weiss was. Now that Pain showed up, she was afraid that Pain would suffer because of underestimating his enemy. After all, the mysterious man in front of him had just easily dissolved her full-strength attack and drained away all her chakra.

'Tian Dao' Payne nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a solemn look. He looked Weiss up and down and asked again, "Who are you?"

The voice was low and majestic, carrying an unquestionable sense of oppression.

However, Weiss still didn't answer him. He just stretched out two fingers calmly, and said in a calm tone that revealed a determination that could not be refused: "I give you two choices, surrender or die." A tremendous force surged out from the body of "Tian Dao". It was the chakra he deliberately released. Like a surging wave, it instantly spread out in all directions. The powerful aura made the surrounding space slightly distorted.

Payne's eyes were filled with disdain as he stared at Weiss coldly and said, "Stupid."

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The sound of breaking air was heard, and the figures of Pain's Six Paths flashed one after another, and in an instant, they surrounded Weiss.

The six of them stood in an orderly manner, forming an impenetrable circle, trapping Wes in the middle.

"Let go of Xiaonan and give you a quick death."

The six paths of Pain spoke in unison, their voices filled with a cold murderous intent.

Weiss remained calm. Facing the fierce attack of Pain's Six Paths, he was like a towering mountain, standing firm no matter how strong the wind and rain were.

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone, and said softly: "I made the most wrong choice."

At this time, Shuradao quickly threw away his coat.

Shurado's original body began to undergo strange changes. Amidst a series of mechanical clicks, his body gradually transformed into a three-headed, six-armed figure.

A certain part of the head slowly opened, and a dazzling light instantly gathered. Then, a powerful laser cannon shot straight towards Weiss.

However, Weiss just tilted his head calmly, and the laser cannon whizzed past his cheek and shot straight to the back, instantly shooting through several buildings.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the buildings were hit by the laser cannons, and first huge holes appeared in the walls. Then they collapsed like building blocks without support.

At this moment of chaos, Renjiandao took advantage of the cover opportunity created by Shuradao's attack and rushed towards Weiss like a ghost.

As long as Weiss can be touched successfully, the battle may end in an instant.

Renjiandao possesses two extremely tricky abilities: reading memories and extracting chakra. In previous battles, he has caught many enemies off guard and succeeded.

"Successful!"

Renjiandao's speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Weiss. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and pressed it firmly on Weiss's chest. Then he quickly activated his ability, trying to read Weiss's memory and extract the chakra in his body.

But to his surprise, the ability that had always worked for him in the past was no longer effective.

"Your understanding of the soul is too shallow."

Weiss looked at Renjiandao with a hint of pity in his eyes and spoke softly.

Before he could finish his words, and before Nagato could react, he felt as if his head was stabbed by a stick. The sudden severe pain and the sense of invasion made his mind temporarily confused, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
