Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 112 Fellow Daoist Lei Ying, please wait!

Xia Zuo recalled the description of the "Arrow-Breaking Style" sword technique from the Dugu Nine Swords: "No matter how many arrows or crossbow bolts the enemy shoots at you, or how many people fire all kinds of hidden weapons at the same time, you only need to use this move to knock down hundreds of hidden weapons at the same time."

Is this something a human could do?

Even Itachi Uchiha, who had the fastest hand speed in the ninja world, could only form seven hand seals per second.

How could Linghu Chong, who had lost his internal energy, be faster than Uchiha Itachi?

Linghu Chong relied on the core technique of the Dugu General Principles: Embracing the Great Elixir.

After a brief preparation, both Xia Zuo and the Fourth Raikage were ready to fight with all their might. They looked at each other at the same time, then suddenly pushed off the ground and charged forward, launching their strongest attacks.

The Fourth Raikage transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, while Xia Zuo, being even faster, completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only after a fierce collision erupted did Xia Zuo reappear, engaging in a fierce clash with the Fourth Raikage.

Their collision was like Mars hitting Earth; the shockwaves tore the ground open with radial cracks.

Neither of them was willing to back down even a step.

The Fourth Raikage was surrounded by arcs of electricity, looking as majestic as the god of thunder descending to earth. However, each of his punches was thrown out slowly, as if in slow motion, yet it gave people a feeling of unstoppable force.

The Raikage's slow speed is a visual illusion.

Similar to the illusion of a high-speed propeller coming to a standstill, the Raikage's punches were so fast that the surrounding electric arcs created a visual residual effect in the human eye.

Xia Zuo released his human elixir, and the power compressed to the extreme exploded, allowing his arms to swing at an even faster speed, to the point that his arms were completely invisible.

He threw countless punches every second, all of them slamming into Raikage's slowly swinging fist, producing sharp, explosive sounds.

With each sonic boom, the Fourth Raikage's arm would dim a little, a result of his punch being knocked back by Shaza.

When the burst of energy is exhausted, Xia Zuo will once again gather his inner energy, compressing his power in an instant before unleashing it again.

Although this hasty formation of the core cannot achieve the explosive power of full compression, the Fourth Raikage's speed and strength are also not as strong as his first charged burst.

The two players' outbursts essentially maintained a close contest.

The Raikage's advantage lies in his greater strength and powerful physical defense. He chooses to attack without defending, focusing all his energy on offense.

Xia Zuo's advantage is his speed; after repelling the Raikage's punch, he can still seize the opportunity to strike the Raikage's body.

He hadn't expected the Lightning Armor to be so hard; hitting it felt like smashing a whole steel ingot.

Whether or not the Fourth Raikage was injured is unknown, but Xia Zuo's hand was throbbing with pain from the impact.

Moreover, he did not expect that the Lightning Armor would have the ability to reflect damage from lightning.

The moment the attack landed, the intense lightning strike not only made Xia Zuo's arm numb and sore, but also caused him to experience momentary paralysis.

The Fourth Raikage laughed loudly: "Fool! After I was defeated by the Fourth Hokage, why wouldn't I consider how to fight a ninja faster than me?"

"I certainly can't outrun the Fourth Hokage, but I can slow him down, or even render him completely immobile!"

"Unfortunately, by the time I finished improving the Lightning Release Armor, he had died in the battle with the Nine-Tails, and no one could let me use the new Lightning Release Armor anymore."

"Kid, since you're so fast, then let your Fourth Hokage experience the power of my Lightning Release Armor!"

He laughed wildly and threw his heaviest punch, aiming it at Xia Zuo, whose movements were slowed by paralysis.

Xia Zuo realized he had no time to dodge, and could only raise his left hand, bend his elbow into a tripod, and block Raikage's heavy punch.

With a dull thud, a tremendous force, accompanied by the tingling and burning sensation of lightning, surged into his body from his left shoulder.

But before this force could tear through the body, it was automatically countered by the chakra within Xia Zuo's body and was instantly dissipated by most of it.

Apart from a few charred lightning marks on his upper arm, he was completely unharmed.

Xia Zuo was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand when his chakra had acquired the ability to automatically counterattack. Even Xia Zuo from other worlds had never cultivated a technique similar to the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Zuo realized that the one who had launched the counterattack was a bloodline limit, which made him feel deeply annoyed.

[How stupid of me, how could I forget about this?]

Ordinary bloodline limits don't have the ability to automatically counterattack, but Xia Zuo's bloodline limit is different because he possesses a full 9...

Bloodline limit.

Since fusing with the 7th bloodline limit, he has encountered serious interference from other bloodline limits.

This interference reached its peak when Xia Zuo fused with the 10th Bloodline Limit, Flame Release, causing him to be unable to complete the fusion for a full year.

After waking up from the dream, Xia Zuo referenced the cultivation knowledge of the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo and used the Dan-forming method of the Nine Swords of Dugu, which made Xia Zuo laugh at Xia Zuo. He then bound each of the nine bloodline limits to the corresponding five internal organs.

Each internal organ is based on the Yin and Yang balancing method to balance the two bloodline limits, and then the five organs are united to form a virtual elixir.

This illusory core, clearly missing a link, has an unprecedented attraction to Flame Release, and can greatly counteract the interference between bloodline limits.

Xia Zuo's fusion of the Flame Release bloodline limit has finally made progress, but it's still just a little bit short.

To some extent, he has completed the fusion of Fire Release, but the moment the fusion is successful, it will be destroyed by the repulsive force of the illusory core of the Bloodline Limit.

The greater the help the illusory core provides during the fusion process, the greater the repulsive force will be at the moment of successful fusion.

The only way is to integrate the Flame Release into the heart within a dozen seconds of successful fusion, while also embedding the nascent core of the Bloodline Limit.

However, relying solely on Xia Zuo's own power, it was already difficult to fuse and succeed under such strong interference, leaving him with no spare strength to integrate Fire Release into his heart in a short period of time.

He needs external help, and he needs external forces that can put tremendous pressure on him.

However, as everyone knows, ninjas are characterized by high attack and low defense. There are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world who research powerful attacks. After all, an attack power of 10 is enough to kill an enemy, so who would bother to strive for an attack power of 1000?

In Konoha, only Might Guy's attack, which involves opening the Eight Gates down to the sixth gate, can satisfy Xia Zuo's needs.

However, Xia Zuo and Mite Kai's relationship was just so-so. He didn't want to risk his life for him, nor did he want to tell him his secrets, so he never mentioned helping him.

The Fourth Raikage's attack was powerful enough to force the Flame Release technique into the Bloodline Limit Core.

The residual shockwaves after shaking the nascent core were just enough to avoid harming Xia Zuo's body.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be—perfect.

Xia Zuo's gaze towards the Fourth Raikage changed. This was no enemy; he was clearly a fellow Daoist who had helped him succeed!

At this moment, Xia Zuo also noticed the confusion and bewilderment in the Fourth Raikage's eyes—

Fellow Daoist Raikage, please wait!

Watch my performance!
