Chapter 454 War Begins
After the countless stone golems, densely packed together, completely entered the border Gobi Desert like a tidal wave.
The once peaceful surroundings suddenly underwent an astonishing change.
Suddenly, a dense and mysterious purple energy began to rise from all directions without warning, and this energy rapidly converged like a giant tornado.
As the purple energy continued to condense, an unimaginably gigantic barrier gradually emerged in the void!
This barrier, like a majestic mountain, stretches across the heavens and earth, emanating a powerful aura that sends shivers down one's spine.
In an instant, the tens of thousands of stone golems that had been advancing rapidly and aggressively seemed to be frozen in place, their speed completely halted.
Moreover, this stagnation was not merely a slight slowdown; its speed was reduced by at least ten times, almost to the point of stillness.
These stone golems were thus trapped in place, completely losing their previous fierce attack power and impact, becoming like a pile of lifeless stone statues.
Even more terrifying is that the stone golems near the center are slowly disintegrating at a rate visible to the naked eye.
It should be noted that these stone golems were created by drawing earth energy from the ground using magic.
However, at this moment, the enormous barrier is gradually dissolving the spells attached to the stone golems, causing them to crumble and dissipate.
Faced with this sudden barrier, even the demon, who was mentally prepared and knew that this operation would not go smoothly, could not help but feel a sense of astonishment.
However, he was a seasoned veteran after a long battle, and he quickly recovered after a brief moment of shock.
With a swift movement, he transformed into a purplish-black whirlwind and sped toward the very center of the barrier.
In the blink of an eye, the demon arrived at its destination.
When he looked closely, he was immediately taken aback—he saw that Zenkong was sitting upright in the center of the barrier, with his eyes slightly closed.
His hands gently moved the prayer beads, and he murmured incantations, chanting profound and obscure scriptures.
At the same time, countless runes shimmering with strange light continuously emanated from within his body.
They surrounded him like the bright stars in the night sky.
"Zen Emptiness!?"
Wangliang was somewhat surprised; he had only heard of Chankong's abilities before.
Unexpectedly, the real Zen Master is even more powerful than the rumors suggested.
It's astonishing that they were able to set up such a massive and incredibly powerful barrier.
He looked up and could vaguely see thousands of Konoha ninjas standing behind Zenkuo.
"Does this show your complete trust in Chan Kong, or do you underestimate me?"
Looking towards the rear, Wangliang didn't see any familiar faces, realizing that Konoha hadn't sent any experts there.
This means that all command authority is in the hands of Zen Master or Maitreya.
"Humph!"
The demon snorted coldly and glanced at the ground.
Let's see who schemes against whom today!
The stone golem beneath him was being consumed every moment, so he had to break through Zen Kong's formation first.
Before that, he had to get past Maitreya.
The demon leaped up, transforming into a streak of purplish-black flame as it lunged at Maitreya.
Maitreya remained calm and composed, forming a hand seal and sending out a circular array.
The two collided violently.
Then Maitreya frowned, realizing that the demon's strength had increased by at least 30% compared to last time.
clack clack...
The formation was quickly breached.
Maitreya stepped back, his hand seals rose again, and his witch power erupted fiercely, like a torch, directly colliding with the demon.
Both the demon and Maitreya retreated.
"Wraith, today is your death day!"
After Maitreya made his declaration to the demon, the magical power within him suddenly receded and then wrapped around it.
She pulled her hands back, forming a fist stance.
With a sudden stop, the ground cracked open, and Maitreya flashed forward, charging towards the demon with the force of wind and thunder.
A battle axe-style downward slash struck directly at the head of the demon!
The demon crossed its arms in front of its head to shield itself from the blow.
boom!
The stones beneath the demon's feet suddenly shattered, and he was instantly reduced to half a head in height.
The purplish-black energy on his body was also quickly dissipated.
"Hehehehehehehehehehe..."
"Maitreya, accept your destiny and become one with me!"
The demon cackled, and a surge of immense energy erupted from its body, sending Maitreya flying.
"Choosing to fight here was the biggest mistake you ever made!"
He roared, and the nearby stone golems shattered, with wisps of purplish-black energy drilling directly into the ground.
The ground shook continuously, as if there was an earthquake, and purplish-black columns of air kept breaking through the ground and rushing out.
Maitreya (Qianyao) was also slightly taken aback. He was not familiar with this kind of energy and did not expect that the demon would have such a backup plan.
However, he immediately curled his lips into a smile.
That's good too. If things end quickly here, it'll be harder for other places to take the bait.
After absorbing these purplish-black energy pillars, the Wangliang's energy surged.
Like a truck, it crashed into Maitreya!
boom!
A hard-fought, direct exchange of blows between the two sides!
Both the dark energy emanating from the demon and the sorcery power emanating from Maitreya were constantly vibrating.
Amidst the distorted light, the two began their most dangerous hand-to-hand combat.
The current Wraith has seen a dramatic increase in both speed and strength.
However, Maitreya is equally formidable.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The two were locked in a fierce fight for a time.
Zenku, who was behind Yahiko, also stood up and planted his staff in front of him.
As the hand seals changed, the ground trembled violently, and the purplish-black energy underground immediately diminished.
As he moved in front of the golem's stone golem, the golem began to disintegrate at an accelerated pace.
However, there were too many stone golems, and the battle between the two sides was temporarily deadlocked.
……
Above the sky, Onoki and Yagura waited patiently.
[It seems that Maitreya and Chankong are well-prepared.]
Onoki didn't rush to make a move, as Zenku was still in excellent condition.
The fact that the Konoha ninjas in the rear didn't move at all shows that everything was under their control.
If they cannot kill someone in one blow, these barrier masters who are skilled in sealing are also extremely terrifying.
However, since so many people from Konoha are being held here, their people can move now.
With a thought, Onoki's earth clone left in his camp turned into soil and disappeared.
It means that we can take action now.
The elite of Iwagakure, led by Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, and Han, the Jinchūriki of the Five-Tails.
They began to quickly cross the border and head towards Konoha.
Meanwhile, Sunagakure also learned through similar means that a battle had already begun on this side.
The Sand Village, which had already stationed its troops in the Land of Rivers, began to take action under the leadership of Yokura and Chiyo.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Konoha's forces are stretched thin this time, which is our best opportunity!"
"Within three hours, cross the Land of Rivers!"
The countless Sand Village members, their faces filled with excitement, raced across the land of the Land of Rivers.
Besides Yokura, the leaders included Chiyo and Yura, among others.
"Elder Chiyo, our intelligence team that went ahead to scout has lost contact."
"Three squads have gone silent!"
One of the people in charge of scouting ahead quickly reported.
Chiyo frowned. It was normal for Konoha to try to stop them, but it was very likely that Sunagakure had encountered the enemy's elite forces.
Otherwise, the intelligence unit wouldn't have been suppressed.
"Keep moving! Spread out! Use the puppets to scout ahead! Even if it's a trap, follow me through!"
"Yes!"
Chiyo knew that speed was of the essence in war, and sometimes it was necessary to quickly invade the Land of Fire, even if it meant making some sacrifices.
"Elder Chiyo, we should..." Yekura was just about to speak when she heard this.
Chiyo raised her hand and interrupted Yokura.
She lowered her voice and said, "Fengying has already organized a second group of people, and they have already set off from the village."
"We are just the vanguard."
Ye Cang's expression hardened; it seemed the village was going all in this time.
At the entrance of Sunagakure Village.
Luo Sha stepped onto a sand mat made of gold dust.
Behind them followed a dense swarm of Sand Villagers, all of them fully equipped.
It's clear they made thorough preparations well in advance.
Rasa looked towards the Land of Fire, his eyes filled with longing.
