Chapter 600 Hashirama, you betrayed me again!
The phantom of Hagoromo Otsutsuki floated in mid-air, exuding an air of superior indifference.
"Hmph, you overestimating ant, you dare to contend with me with such meager strength?"
The illusory soul swayed slightly, and subtle ripples appeared in the surrounding space. Every move it made exuded composure.
Just then, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan spun rapidly, and the black chakra around his body surged instantly, intertwining with the Six Paths power of the Truth-Seeking Balls to form a sharp current of energy.
He clapped his hands together sharply, his chest heaving slightly, and dense chakra gathered in his throat: "Six Paths: Storm Release: Light Fang!"
A jet-black laser beam erupted from his mouth, carrying a devastating force that aimed directly at Yu Yi's soul.
Wherever the laser passed, the air was scorched and hissed, the ground was carved with a deep trench, and the sand and gravel were instantly turned into dust.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's pupils contracted slightly, showing no sign of surprise or anger, but hastily twisted his body.
The laser grazed past his illusory soul, and even though it didn't hit him directly, the aftershocks made his soul tremble and his chakra momentarily became disordered.
But this unexpected event did not break his composure; instead, it made him even more determined to eliminate these two ants that were hindering his ambition as soon as possible.
At this point, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had long lost their initial composure, and the two were fighting with extreme difficulty.
Hashirama Senju's left arm was slashed by Hagoromo's space-time ninjutsu. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood dripped down his arm, but the wound was constantly healing.
Madara Uchiha's right shoulder was also struck by pale purple chakra, his clothes were torn, and his flesh was exposed.
In countless previous attempts, they had used Wood Release and Fire Release, tried taijutsu attacks and genjutsu to restrain him, but as a soul form, Hagoromo was immune to most ninjutsu and taijutsu, so all their attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to cause any real damage.
After a fierce and chaotic struggle, both of them were covered in injuries.
However, the two quickly seized upon each other's weakness: using the Truth-Seeking Balls could break through the immunity of the Hagoromo soul body and cause real damage.
Yu Yi merely hovered in mid-air, coldly watching the two without seizing the opportunity to launch an attack, as if watching an insignificant farce. In reality, she was already secretly plotting her next move.
"Hashirama, stop attacking blindly! Use Truth-Seeking Balls to transform and attack!"
The two exchanged a glance, needing no further words, their hearts already in sync.
The Seeking Truth Jewel slowly rotated, and under the control of the two, it began to gradually deform.
Hashirama Senju used a Truth-Seeking Ball to condense it into a heavy black greatsword in front of him.
On the other side, Madara Uchiha also used Truth-Seeking Balls to condense a sharp black sword.
The two exchanged another glance, a resolute look flashing in their eyes, and nodded slightly, as if they had reached some kind of silent understanding.
The next second, the two exerted their strength simultaneously, launching a fierce attack on Hagoromo Otsutsuki with weapons formed from Truth-Seeking Balls.
Hashirama charged forward first, wielding his black greatsword with both hands, and slashed fiercely down at Hagoromo. The greatsword, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aimed directly at Hagoromo's soul core, determined to cleave him in two.
Madara Uchiha flashed, transforming into a black afterimage, and circled behind Hagoromo. He thrust out his black greatsword with precision, the blade carrying a chilling aura, aiming at the weakest point of Hagoromo's soul, giving her no chance to dodge.
Even though the two were still not proficient in controlling the Truth-Seeking Balls, their chakra would occasionally become disordered, their arms would ache from exertion, and each attack would aggravate their wounds, causing excruciating pain, the power of the Truth-Seeking Balls should not be underestimated.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's dodge became hurried, but he remained completely calm, his face still bearing that cold and hypocritical expression.
He could clearly feel that the power of the Six Paths contained in the Seeking the Dao Jade was constantly eroding his soul, and once it struck a vital point, he would completely dissipate.
But his ambition wouldn't allow him to back down, and his calm nature kept him always clear-headed.
Yu Yi gritted her teeth expressionlessly and tried to activate spatial teleportation again, hoping to escape the two's attack.
But just as the space around him began to distort, Hashirama Senju had already anticipated his movements, and his hands quickly formed hand seals, "Six Paths: Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
The thick wooden dragon roared and pounced on Yu Yi, tightly binding his illusory soul.
Although the power of the wooden dragon could not harm Yu Yi's soul, it could temporarily restrict his movements, preventing him from activating spatial teleportation in time and leaving him trapped in place.
Yu Yi did not struggle frantically; the pale purple chakra around her continued to flow steadily as she coldly watched the wooden dragon coiling around her.
Just then, Madara Uchiha seized the opportunity, flashed to Hagoromo's side, and thrust out his black sword with a sharp clang as the blade accurately struck Hagoromo's phantom soul.
Yu Yi did not let out a shrill scream, but her soul phantom instantly became a little more transparent, and the chakra around her fluctuated violently. Her face still showed no sign of pain, but a hint of killing intent appeared in her cold eyes.
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju seized the opportunity to swing his black greatsword and slash at Hagoromo again, the greatsword crashing heavily onto Hagoromo's phantom soul.
The phantom of Yu Yi's soul became more transparent, and her chakra dissipated considerably. There was no fear or despair, only disgust for the two of them.
Although the two were still struggling, their wounds were increasing, their clothes were stained with blood, their steps were becoming unsteady, and their arms were so sore and numb that they could hardly hold their weapons, but they did not back down in the slightest.
Each attack with Truth-Seeking Balls left obvious wounds on Hagoromo's illusory soul, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. His chakra was also getting weaker and weaker. The originally one-sided battle was quietly undergoing a subtle change.
Yu Yi remained calm and composed. Even though she was at a disadvantage, she did not lose her composure. She continued to observe the two men's weaknesses in the shadows, plotting how to turn the tables and how to further advance her ambitions.
Just as Hashirama was about to swing his sword again and Madara was about to thrust out his greatsword, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was at a disadvantage, remained calm. Suddenly, his Rinnegan between his eyebrows burst out with a dazzling pale purple light, and a strange and powerful eye technique spread out instantly.
That was his trump card, hidden for a thousand years, specifically used to control descendants with the bloodline of the Otsutsuki. Even in his soul form, its power was greatly reduced, but it was still enough to briefly control the mentally disturbed Hashirama Senju.
He showed no impatience whatsoever; every movement was steady and orderly, as if he had already foreseen the course of the battle. Everything was within his calculations.
"Six Paths: Puppet Technique!"
The pale purple threads of his eye technique acted like invisible shackles, instantly binding Hashirama Senju's mind.
Hashirama, who was swinging his sword, suddenly stopped, his mind completely controlled by Hagoromo.
Madara Uchiha was completely unaware of the changes behind him, still staring intently at Hagoromo, his greatsword charging up again, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Hagoromo.
Just as he charged forward, a sharp chakra surge suddenly came from behind him. Then, several thick wooden spikes burst from the ground, piercing his back with a sharp whooshing sound.
"Pfft—" The wooden spike pierced through Madara's back without any resistance, penetrating his chest. Dark green wood release chakra surged wildly into his body through the wound, tearing apart his meridians and cells.
Ban froze, the color draining from his face instantly, and a mouthful of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth.
He slowly turned his head in disbelief: "Hashirama...you..."
Ban's voice was hoarse and broken, the sharp pain in his back and the feeling of betrayal in his heart intertwined, almost making him faint.
Not far away, Kaguya Otsutsuki saw this scene clearly. Her black chakra surged suddenly, and she moved to rush towards Madara.
Just as Kaguya leaped into the air, Uchiha Mitsunori grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back.
"Kaguya, trust Madara Uchiha, he can handle it!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned, tightening her grip slightly, her eyes still burning with undiminished anger, her voice icy: "He's already severely injured; he'll die if this continues! Hagoromo is treacherous and cunning; we can't let Madara deal with him alone!"
Uchiha Mitsunori shook his head slightly, his fingertips exerting a little force, tightening the chakra threads a bit, yet carrying an air of complete control: "Don't worry, he transplanted Hashirama cells, his self-healing ability far exceeds your imagination, this little injury can't hold him back."
Moreover, letting him face this crisis alone will fully unleash his power and allow us to see just how many trump cards the Sage of Six Paths still has up his sleeve.
His gaze returned to the battlefield, as he secretly calculated the subsequent situation.
Kaguya looked at his confident demeanor, then turned to look at Uchiha Madara on the battlefield, who was swaying precariously but still standing. The chakra around him gradually calmed down a bit.
