Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming then dismissed everyone and began searching the underground cave again using telepathy as a means of communication.

They searched for quite a while, but still couldn't find any trace of Kabuto Yakushi.

As the hour drew to a close, Xu Ming couldn't help but become a little impatient.

Just then, a flash of lightning struck Xu Ming's mind.

He suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately took off running.

Chapter 447 The Exceptionally Good at Hiding Yakushi Kabuto

The entrance to the underground cave.

The desolate, bone-covered forest still stands there, firmly holding back the underground cavern from collapse.

Wow!

A soft sound came from the darkness, and a small pebble fell, bounced on the ground, and flew away to who knows where.

A figure appeared silently in the Bone Forest.

The pharmacist pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in the lenses.

Looking at Kimimaro, who was sealed in white bones, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

He slowly reached out his hand towards Kimimaro, who was sealed within the white bones...

Just then, a purple-gold flash suddenly illuminated the entire underground cave.

Damn it!

Kabuto quickly covered his face with his hands and retreated rapidly.

Nevertheless, his body was still covered with burn marks.

Xu Ming hurriedly ran out of the shadows, his breathing a little rapid, but a smile on his face.

"I knew you'd come back here."

Xu Ming was actually taking a gamble.

In the original work, this guy went so far as to transplant Orochimaru's cells into his own body in order to obtain Orochimaru's power.

This guy is practically Orochimaru in the same vein; he's a complete madman.

Therefore, Xu Ming guessed that there was a high probability that Yakushi Kabuto would try to retrieve Kimimaro's remains.

As expected, he guessed correctly.

While Xu Ming used telepathy to notify everyone to hurry to his location to gather, he also grabbed a crowbar and smashed it at Yakushi Kabuto.

A crowbar emerged from mid-air above the pharmacist's head and smashed down on his head.

Whoosh!

The moment the crowbar touched Yakushi Kabuto's head, he immediately transformed into a swarm of venomous snakes and scattered.

"Tsk!"

Xu Ming clicked his tongue impatiently; this was the troublesome part of fighting these ninjas.

hiss!

With a whoosh, two ferocious snake heads suddenly emerged from the shadows and bit down hard on Xu Ming.

Xu Ming quickly rolled over like a lazy donkey and awkwardly hid to the side.

The snake's head slammed into the rock wall behind Xu Ming, but was quickly retracted.

Kabuto Yakushi emerged from the shadows.

His palm emitted a purplish-black mist as he rubbed it over the charred marks on his body. Soon, all the burns disappeared, and the skin touched by his palm was completely renewed, as if he had never been injured.

With his substitution technique and superb healing skills, he was one of Xu Ming's most hated enemies.

Because enemies like Kabuto Yakushi are particularly good at... hiding!

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold glint. Even after his life-or-death struggle with Xu Ming, a smile still lingered on his face, as sinister as a venomous snake lurking in the darkness.

“Friend, since you can’t do anything to me and I can’t do anything to you, why don’t we just leave?”

Xu Ming lowered his head slightly and remained silent, seemingly considering Kabuto Yakushi's suggestion.

Just then, a venomous snake silently slithered out from the shadows behind the stone pillar.

A fierce glint flashed in the snake's eyes. With a powerful leap, its body sprang forward like a spring, shooting towards Xu Ming in an instant.

In mid-air, the venomous snake opened its mouth, revealing a set of sharp fangs, and lunged at Xu Ming's neck.

As if he had grown a head in the back of his head, Xu Ming immediately turned around and lashed out at the venomous snake with his stick.

The venomous snake was hit squarely and slammed into the rock wall at an even faster speed, turning into a pile of minced meat.

Without saying a word, Xu Ming turned around, picked up his phone, and snapped a picture of Yakushi Kabuto! The movement was so quick and fluid, it was as if he had been planning to do it all along.

The purple-gold exorcising light instantly enveloped Yakushi Kabuto, who was secretly forming hand seals behind his back.

That's right. Just like how Kabuto secretly used poisonous snakes to attack him, Xu Ming never thought of making peace with him.

So this is a showdown between two old coins.

Although Kabuto Yakushi made the first move, striking first doesn't necessarily mean you're stronger.

"what!"

The pharmacist covered his face and screamed in agony.

His body was covered in numerous burn wounds again.

Xu Ming's lips curled up, revealing a cold smile.

Even if the surface burns are healed, how can you deal with the exorcising light, an ability that specifically counters the 'weird'?

Xu Ming even discovered the hidden effects of the exorcising light.

Once the 'weird' is hit by the exorcism light, it will strongly interfere with the negative energy in their bodies.

When 'Strange' uses its abilities, it needs to mobilize negative energy within its body, and the exorcising light will forcibly interfere with this process.

Take Kabuto Yakushi as an example. He originally had a near 100% success rate in releasing the Substitution Jutsu, and the hand seals he needed to form took less than a second.

However, his success rate in releasing the Substitution Jutsu is now probably less than 50%, and the time required to form hand seals has been extended several times over.

Even if Kabuto wanted to use the Substitution Jutsu to escape now, he couldn't.

Seeing that Kabuto Yakushi was in a weakened state, Xu Ming immediately grabbed a crowbar and started hitting him.

At first, Kabuto was able to barely hold onto Xu Ming's attacks with a kunai, but the effect of 'force stacking' became stronger and stronger.

Kabuto's kunai was knocked away with a clang, and his right hand was also broken.

"hateful!"

Kabuto Yakushi had a gloomy expression and was cursing under his breath.

He was in a terrible state at that moment.

His glasses were missing, and one of his hands was broken, hanging limply at his side as if it had no bones.

As he used his palm magic to heal his severed hand, he quickly retreated into the shadows.

With Xu Ming having such a significant advantage, how could they possibly let him go so easily?

What's more, this guy is so good at hiding; if he escapes, who knows how much effort it will take to find him.

Xu Ming picked up the crowbar again and struck at Yakushi Kabuto, this time aiming for Kabuto's head.

"what!"

Kabuto barely managed to turn to the side, and the crowbar slid past his ear before slamming heavily onto his shoulder, severely injuring his still-unhealed arm once again.

Kabuto glared at Xu Ming hatefully, but his escape speed only increased.

Xu Ming pursued relentlessly, repeatedly striking Yakushi-ko with a crowbar.

Kabuto Yakushi, enduring Xu Ming's attacks, fled forward.

"Stop right there!"

Those unaware of the situation might mistake Xu Ming for a villain chasing after Yakushi Kabuto.

After all, Kabuto Yakushi exuded a refined air and looked like a scholar, while Xu Ming, holding a blood-stained crowbar and grinning maliciously, looked no different from a ruthless killer.

Soon, the 'force stacking' effect was fully stacked again.

Five seconds later, there was a soft bang, and Kabuto Yakushi's upper body exploded as if it had been hit by a bomb.

Various body parts flew in all directions, a scene that looked incredibly bloody.

Fortunately, these scattered body tissues soon began to turn to ash.

Kabuto was dealt with by Xu Ming all by himself.

Chapter 448 Nine-Tailed Fox Awakens

However, in a dark corner where no light could reach, a small white snake, no thicker than a finger, quietly crawled towards a cave not far away.

Just before the little snake entered the cave, it glanced back at Xu Ming not far away, its golden snake eyes revealing a very human-like resentment and sinister expression.

Then the little white snake turned and crawled deeper into the cave.

Just then, the little white snake's keen hearing suddenly picked up a soft sound behind him that terrified him.

Click!

A purple-gold light instantly enveloped the little white snake.

A hint of human-like despair appeared in the snake's eyes.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi, who was possessing the white snake's body, felt as if his soul had been ignited, and then he knew nothing more...

Xu Ming put his phone back in his pocket, glanced at the light blue light that appeared not far away, and slightly curled the corner of his mouth.

That cunning fellow really thinks he hasn't noticed?

When Kabuto Yakushi died, but the 'Essence of Water' did not appear, Xu Ming sensed something was wrong.

Xu Ming quickly remembered that, like Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto's teacher, Yakushi Kabuto was also an extremely cunning and cunning guy who was good at hiding his life and had all sorts of ways to save himself.
