Chapter 103: Battle on the Moon
Lei Niu ran wildly until breaking into the depths of a deep ancient forest.
Surrounding branches and leaves rustled, trembling in the wind like whispers. Only then did he slowly exhale a breath of turbid air.
In mere moments, he'd rushed from the bitter snowfield to here, his entire body's muscles still taut as a bowstring.
At this moment, the forest was silent except for his own breathing—that relentlessly pursuing presence seemed to have finally disappeared.
He leaned against a gnarled ancient tree, heart slightly relaxing.
Finally... shaken him off?
As if responding to his thoughts, a golden light suddenly tore through the forest's dimness. Yu's figure appeared soundlessly before him.
During their earlier exchange, Yu had long since planted a Flying Thunder God mark on Lei Niu.
Anyone unfamiliar with this technique's mysteries, even a magnetic field powerhouse at the same three hundred thousand horsepower level, had absolutely no possibility of erasing it.
"Did you think... you could escape?" Yu's voice was cold as a blade, piercing the silence.
Lei Niu's just-relaxed muscles instantly tensed again, heart both shocked and angry as he cursed inwardly:
What fucking rotten luck! Just wanted to play with a woman—how did I provoke such a mad dog? Biting me relentlessly, what's he after?
The more he thought, the more stifled he felt, a flash of violence in his eyes.
In this world, survival of the fittest was natural law. He played his games—what business was it of others to interfere? Yet this one was absurdly strong!
Lei Niu's eyes reddened. Since he couldn't escape, then no one should live!
He steeled his heart. Three hundred thousand horsepower of magnetic field power brazenly exploded. Violent energy transformed into a destructive torrent, directly charging at Yu.
This strike held nothing back—already a desperate gambit. Even if he died, he'd drag the entire planet as burial accompaniment!
However, facing this strike sufficient to level mountains and rivers, Yu remained standing in place, neither dodging nor evading.
Just as the energy was about to engulf him, his form suddenly became ethereal, like a hazy afterimage flickering slightly.
The destructive energy penetrated the phantom and swept past, directly piercing the distance. The entire ancient forest along with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers behind were completely reduced to scorched earth by this strike.
Lei Niu grinned, revealing a savage smile. "See that? If you and I really fight to mutual destruction, no matter who wins in the end, this planet is finished."
He raised his hand pointing at that distant completely leveled scorched earth, voice carrying a trace of crazed mockery:
"Just like that strike—whether you block or dodge, the scattered power is enough to crush thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."
"Are you... really willing to bet all life on this entire planet on our outcome?"
As Lei Niu's words fell, Yu's movements indeed paused slightly.
He raised his hand and withdrew from the void a kunai inscribed with Flying Thunder God formula markings.
Magnetic field power instantly flowed. Three hundred thousand horsepower intensity energy coiled around it like electrical arcs.
The next moment, he swung his arm and threw—
The kunai instantly transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky, breaking through cloud layers, directly shooting rapidly toward the moon.
Protected by energy, it didn't slow at all, in a blink vanishing into the depths of space.
Lei Niu narrowed his eyes, puzzled in his heart.
What was this little thing for? But seeing the opponent hadn't continued that mad-dog-like assault, hope rose in his heart again. He forced out a smile, tone warming up:
"Fellow countryman, we've exchanged blows and gotten to know each other. How about this—from now on you take east, I take west, each occupying a region without interfering. The compensation I promised you earlier... I'll add ten times more! How about it?"
He spoke endlessly, trying to pry open a turning point.
Yet Yu stood silently, as if waiting for something.
Over ten seconds later, Yu suddenly spoke indifferently. "Done."
Lei Niu froze. "What do—"
Before finishing, Yu had already closed in to attack again!
Lei Niu's heart was greatly shocked. This madman truly didn't care about the entire planet's survival?! Since that was the case, he had no more reservations either. Killing intent surging, he roared, "Then let's die together!"
He struck out with a fist. Magnetic field power exploded like thunder, yet was swiftly dodged by Yu's sidestep. The next second, Yu's five fingers gripped his wrist like iron pincers, body emanating Flying Thunder God's characteristic chakra golden light.
Light suddenly brightened. Both instantly disappeared from their location.
...
The moon hung quietly in boundless deep space, cold and lonely.
Otsutsuki Toneri, the last bloodline of Hamura's branch family, alone watched over this desolate realm—this celestial body sealing the Chakra Ancestor Kaguya.
He always remembered his ancestors' teachings: if people on earth defiled peace, then heavenly punishment must be administered.
In his eyes, humans were base and deficient—merely a group of low-level existences wallowing in desire.
If not for Earth remaining fairly peaceful these years, he would have long since descended judgment.
"Very well," he gazed toward that azure planet, eyes indifferent. "I'll grant you... a bit more time."
Otsutsuki Toneri stood quietly on the moon's surface, expression arrogant, like a deity overlooking dust and ants.
....
On the other side, golden light suddenly scattered. The two now stood on the moon's desolate ground.
Yu showed no hesitation. Just manifesting, he delivered a heavy kick directly striking Lei Niu's abdomen!
Lei Niu didn't even have time to see his surroundings clearly, only feeling tremendous force viciously crashing into his organs. His entire person flew backward uncontrollably.
Lei Niu stumbled to the ground, gaze sweeping the surroundings—the pockmarked surface, pitch-black sky, and that floating blue planet in the distance...
His pupils contracted sharply, instantly understanding his situation.
The moon... this madman had actually brought him to the moon in an instant!
"You want to make this my grave?!" Lei Niu roared, fury and chill simultaneously surging. "You bastard, fuck you!"
In that instant, the last trace of hesitation in Lei Niu's eyes completely dissipated.
No retreat possible—only a death battle!
Three hundred thousand versus three hundred thousand—this was Yu's first time truly fighting all-out against an equal-level powerhouse.
And the current Lei Niu had no more fear, killing intent boiling like a wild tide.
Yu's lips slightly curved upward.
Perfect... in this desolate realm, he could also completely release his power without reservations.
On the moon's surface, two figures collided brazenly like meteors!
BOOM—!!!
Three hundred thousand horsepower magnetic field power fully exploded. Violent energy impact instantly detonated, grinding surrounding lunar soil and craters to dust.
Yu's heavy punch tore through vacuum. Lei Niu met it with a savage smile, fist edges meeting. The instant they connected, space itself seemed to twist.
Lei Niu borrowed momentum to spin, his leg chopping down like a battle axe, yet was blocked by Yu raising his hand.
The next instant, Yu's five fingers suddenly clamped the opponent's ankle, viciously smashing him toward the ground—
BANG!!!
The tremendous impact formed a new crater, cracks spreading wildly like a spider web.
Lei Niu coughed up blood foam, yet the fierce light in his eyes only intensified.
He suddenly exerted force, energy around his body boiling like flames, explosively rising again!
The two figures interlaced, each collision shaking the lunar surface.
Fists, legs, energy impacts—completely unreserved killing moves madly clashing in this desolate place.
Two humanoid natural disasters dueled here.
