Chapter 588 The Death of Cihang Jingzhai

These five are none other than the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon of Insects: Ten Thousand Insects, Terror of Insects, Uchiha Tail Healer, Uchiha Hikaru, Tailed Beast Killer, Hyuga Kagami, Two-Faced Evil God Hidan, and finally, the Jade Dragon Immortal, Kabuto Yakushi.

"So it was you who were plotting against me? You think you can challenge the authority of the Otsutsuki clan?"

The five men smiled without saying a word, staring straight ahead with unwavering fighting spirit.

-

Let's go back to three days ago.

Cihang Jingzhai appeared on the outskirts of the empire. After confirming that no one was following him, he prepared to open the portal and return to the Shell organization.

However, the intelligence gathering went too smoothly this time, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"Maybe they're too arrogant and don't take us seriously at all," she consoled herself.

Aburame Shisei's seclusion is a window of opportunity that the Shell Organization has been waiting for for many years, and Leader Cixian's judgment is unlikely to be wrong.

They took out a teleportation node pre-set by the Shell organization, and carved subtle jutsu patterns on the ground. Simply injecting chakra would open a passage to the base.

Cihang Jingzhai squatted down and pressed his palms on the lines.

Just then, a very soft sigh came from behind her, "I always thought you were still alive, but the thought of your corpse being used as a tool by others makes me realize..."

Cihang Jingzhai suddenly turned around, his body instantly turning into water, becoming a pool of transparent liquid that slid backward several feet along the ground.

Sure enough, where she stood, a swarm of insects swarmed and smashed a deep pit in the ground, and Yukimaru appeared silently behind her.

With a flick of her black hair, countless water needles flew out, heavily catching the swooping insects. The violent impact of the needles hitting the ground created a mist of water vapor.

"Water Release: Mist Shadow Technique." The classic ninjutsu Zero Needle was used as the starting point, connecting with the previous thick fog, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

Cihang Jingzhai did not linger in battle, but quickly retreated, preparing to contact the base for backup. This was the best decision she made quickly; killing the enemy was only a last resort.

However, Yukimaru raised his hand and flicked it lightly with his fingertips.

The mist condensed into tiny water droplets, then transformed back into water droplets, which reversed in the air and shot back towards Cihang Jingzhai.

Her body transformed into water again, and water needles pierced through her body and embedded themselves in the ground behind her, making a series of crisp sounds.

"Troublesome. Looks like I can't leave. I have no choice but to deal with you." She had already sensed that there were no other followers around, which meant that the other party wanted to fight her one-on-one.

The Palace Master of the Narcissus Palace is among the weakest and not worth fearing.

Cihang Jingzhai's hands created afterimages: "Waterline Cutting Technique".

She spat out a thin, long blue line, instantly severing all the surrounding trees, including Yukimaru, who was also within her slash range.

The water line merely cut across his body without severing him, and not even a drop of blood seeped out; it was some futuristic-colored liquid that connected it this time.

"The Secret Technique of Transforming into Water!"

"No, it's Narcissus Technique," Yukimaru denied, and then his body began to fade and completely disappeared into the air.

"Guess where I am?" His voice echoed in the air, omnipresent in all directions.

He naturally didn't know how to become completely invisible, but that didn't prevent him and the Invisible Scorpion from performing the human-insect fusion technique.

Immediately afterwards, countless flying insects burst out of the ground in the desolate area within a radius of a hundred feet, their buzzing wings creating a continuous chorus.

The swarm of insects did not rush to attack, but hovered and gathered in the air, gradually forming a huge vortex-like array that sealed the entire wilderness into a closed cage.

Cihang Jingzhai looked around and realized that this was a technique of spatial sealing.

But it seemed to be a useless effort for her, as her abilities did not possess spatial attributes.

Her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, palms facing each other, and a ball of crimson liquid condensed between her palms.

"Melting and boiling double kill".

A crimson, high-temperature liquid jet gushed from her palm, sweeping forward in a fan shape.

Wherever it passed, the ground was melted, leaving deep trenches, rocks turned into magma, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

The molten liquid exploded instantly, the fluids evaporated into white steam, the swarm of insects quickly disintegrated in the face of the high temperature, and a huge gap appeared in the swarm's vortex.

Cihang Jingzhai sped up and fled towards the gap.

Sure enough, a hook appeared behind her and pierced through her body, instantly cutting her in two. But she didn't stop; she turned around and clasped her hands together.

Her red lips suddenly exhaled a large breath of cold air, instantly freezing the barely visible Yukimaru in mid-air.

"As I've calculated, you've indeed fallen for my trap. As a human, you can never compare to intelligence." For the first time, Cihang Jingzhai's lips curled up in a smug smile, an emotion he himself was unaware of.

She then conjured an ice sword in her hand and slashed it down at the frozen statue to the right.

Suddenly, her body became uncontrollable, as if some special mist was circulating within her body, controlling her hand that she wanted to swing.

The ice crystal statue in front of her suddenly began to shatter, and Yukimaru reappeared before her, plunging one hand into her heart and tightly grasping its core.

Then, with one burst of energy, they merged together and completely integrated into it.

Cihang Jingzhai knelt on the ground, clutching her chest, revealing a look of pain for the first time, with water droplets constantly dripping from her forehead and face.

Within her, Yukimaru's voice drifted out, "After becoming a homunculus, did you receive all of Mei Terumi's memories? Did you experience the emotions within her memories? Did you feel fear, dread, or even the cowardice of a normal person? Or the courage to stand up for the village despite lacking the guts? Do you still remember her dreams? Do you remember the people she killed?"

Cihang Jingzhai didn't react at all, she just clenched her teeth. The next second, she felt her heart suddenly contract, and a strange memory flooded into her mind, completely overwhelming her with complicated emotions.

Oh no, the village is gone!

Oh dear, I'm not married yet!

Wow, the people outside are amazing!

We can't beat them, we can't beat them.

I just want to find a place to lie down and enjoy a relaxed and pleasant life.

Who knows what the world will be like in the future?

Perhaps we are the ones who are preventing peaceful evolution.

Why did it suddenly get dark?

Why am I suddenly going to die!

I really want to marry a man before I die, but it's such a pity I'm still a virgin.

Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, but the next second, her form began to constantly change and shrink, until finally Cihang Jingzhai completely disappeared, transforming into the appearance of Youguimaru.

He clutched a scorching hot core tightly in his hand, and tears streamed down his face.

At this moment, he had finally avenged his friend, but something still felt off.

"So you once longed for peace too!"
