Chapter 121: Killing Wu [Wu is a character's name in the story]

In the sky covered by Dark Clouds, a golden giant composed entirely of Lightning Bolt stood in mid-air. The giant resembled a bipedal feline beast. Its golden vertical pupils stared down emotionlessly at the ground below. As its long tail behind it swayed, its aura summoned Lightning Flash across the sky and stirred up endless gales.

In the Hokage world, who doesn't end up using some super-powerful technique like piloting a mech? This move, Inspired by Enel's God of Thunder Mode, was created by Yue Yan. It not only contained his own Lightning Bolt but also incorporated the Senji Jutsu of the two sacred places, the Bone Forest and the Ryuchi Cave.

Wu had just struggled out of the mountain. Looking at Yue Yan, who was like a god, after confirming that he could still perceive Yue Yan's fear through Fear Perception, he also laughed.

"Although you look intimidating now, since you can't overcome your fear, I can still use Future Telling to anticipate all your moves."

"Oh? Is that so?"

When Yue Yan's voice full of divine meaning sounded, Wu perceived Yue Yan's next move through Fear Perception.

Charge forward and throw a straight punch.

Such a straightforward move, Wu thought he could easily dodge it. However, as soon as his body moved, Yue Yan's fist had already landed on his face.

A pale fang was directly smashed off by the terrifying force and spun into the ground beside him.

At this moment, Wu was still a bit confused. He simply didn't understand what had happened. Clearly, he already knew Yue Yan's next move through Future Telling, so why was he still attacked?

Just then, Yue Yan's calm words rang in Wu's ear.

"Your Fear Perception ability is indeed very powerful. You can almost know my every move as soon as I make it. But whether your reaction can keep up with my speed is another matter."

Yue Yan had no way to overcome his inner fear. However, he could increase his speed. As long as he was faster than Wu, even if Wu knew his attack methods through Future Telling, Wu could only take the hits.

Wu, who also realized this, quickly flapped the wings on his back, attempting to use random movements to delay his prediction time.

However, just as his feet left the ground, Yue Yan's fist landed on him again. In Wu's mind, the image of Yue Yan's attack had just appeared when the attack landed on him. It was so fast that he couldn't react at all.

After punching Wu back into the mountain, Yue Yan didn't give him a chance to react. He stepped forward and Yue Yan clenched his claws like a rolled-up tortilla, waving his fists to create a continuous flurry of punches.

The heavy punches, wrapped in searing Lightning Bolt, pounded on what was presumably Wu's face like a relentless pile-driver, causing the mountain below to tremble violently.

Seeing that Yue Yan showed no sign of stopping, it seemed that he wanted to kill Wu along with the mountain below.

The terrifying force made it impossible for Wu to fight back. Even though his Fear Perception continuously predicted Yue Yan's moves and sent the information back to his mind, he couldn't dodge and could only take the blows blindly.

After some time, all of Wu's bones were broken, and large patches of feathers had fallen off his body. Even in his huge mouth, there were few teeth left.

Seemingly sensing that Wu had gone still, Yue Yan stopped punching.

Just then, Wu opened his huge mouth and shot out numerous sharp black feathers, aiming straight at Yue Yan's head.

Seeing this, Yue Yan's expression remained unchanged.

As the black feathers approached Yue Yan, they were annihilated by the Lightning Bolt escaping from his body.

Upon seeing this, Wu, knowing he couldn't resist, burst into wild laughter.

"Heh heh heh! Ha ha ha! As long as fear doesn't disappear, even if you kill me now, I'll be reborn. I'm immortal! As a human, your lifespan is at most a hundred years. After you die, I'll come back to life. Then, who will be able to stop me?"

Hearing this, Yue Yan paused. He traced patterns in the air with his fingertips, and numerous Lightning Bolt followed his guidance, turning into chains that tied up Wu, who was lying at his feet, like a zongzi (a traditional Chinese rice dumpling wrapped in leaves).

Then, Yue Yan dissipated his God of Thunder form and stepped on Wu.

"Humph, nothing is immortal, not even the world. The reason something can't be killed is either because the right method hasn't been used or the power isn't strong enough."

"What do you mean? You think you can kill me off completely? Come on! I was born from the fear of all living life. Unless you kill every single living being in this world, I won't die."

"Then, do you have a soul?"

"What?"

Wu stared blankly at Yue Yan, not knowing why he suddenly asked this Mondai. But before he could answer, Yue Yan took out the Shinigami Mask from his ninja tool bags and put it on.

In an instant, a chilling energy far greater than Wu's spread from Yue Yan in all directions. It was like an endless Styx, dragging all life into eternal death.

In a daze, Wu seemed to see a giant bird behind Yue Yan, a bird that seemed to be Shinigami itself.

At this moment, images of himself struggling appeared in Wu's mind as he was in a state of shock.

Is this... my fear...

As this thought emerged from the depths of his heart, Wu's body began to struggle instinctively. He wanted to break free from the Lightning Bolt chains that bound him and escape as far as possible.

Wu had an intuition that if he was killed by that giant bird, he wouldn't even be able to be reborn.

However, no matter how much Wu struggled, even when the skin on his body was torn by the great force, the Lightning Bolt chains binding him didn't show any sign of loosening.

Yue Yan didn't look at Wu, who was struggling desperately at his feet. He raised his palm and used the power of the Shinigami Mask to draw out the power within his body, a power that even he couldn't clearly describe.

In an instant, Yue Yan's palm was wrapped in a thick layer of gray death energy and slowly pressed down towards Wu's body.

"No! Please!"

I'm willing to be your servant and do your bidding. Please...

Facing death, even [Wu], who was born from fear, was engulfed by endless terror and couldn't help begging for mercy.

But [Yue Yan] had no intention of sparing him. He placed his hand on [Wu].

The moment the gray death energy came into contact with [Wu], it enveloped his body. [Wu], who had been struggling desperately before, stopped all his movements instantly when covered by the gray death energy.

In less than a moment, [Wu]'s huge monster body began to gradually disperse and finally vanished between heaven and earth.

Crack!

Suddenly, [Yue Yan] heard a clear sound of something breaking beside his ear. After taking off the Shinigami Mask from his face, he also noticed a quite obvious crack under the right eye of the mask.

"Is this... because the Shinigami Mask couldn't withstand that force just now?"

Just as [Yue Yan] finished muttering to himself, a wave of weakness swept over his whole body, making him stagger involuntarily.

[Yue Yan] clenched his fist. He could clearly feel that both his physical strength and spirit were in a very good state, but what was this sudden feeling of weakness?

Before [Yue Yan] could figure it out, the System notification rang in his mind.

[Ding! System notification. The host has killed the target and obtained: [1 template fragment].]
