Chapter 145: Yin and Yang Imbalance
Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield in the distance.
Gion's figure was so fast she was nothing more than a pink blur.
Every swing of her sword was accompanied by the screech of tearing air.
Konpira, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, forcefully plowed a vacuum zone through the black tide.
But it was useless.
The Shadowkhan soldiers that were cut down turned into black smoke, but instead of disappearing, they drilled back into the shadows on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, another perfectly intact ninja would stand up.
"Never-ending."
Gion frowned slightly, kicking a ninja that tried to sneak attack her into pieces.
This feeling was like cutting water; no matter how much force she used, the water would always flow back together.
Was this what they called a magical creature?
Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from behind her.
"Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!"
Uncle's unique chanting voice was surprisingly audible over the chaotic battlefield.
Immediately after, an emerald-green pillar of light shot up from that small stone mortar, exploding in mid-air into countless motes of fluorescent light that rained down.
The thickest beam of light, impartial and direct, hit Gion squarely.
Gion instinctively wanted to dodge, but her Observation Haki sensed no malice.
The light entered her body.
There was no burning sensation as imagined; instead, there was a warmth, like sunlight in winter, dispersing the surrounding cold, evil energy.
On the blade of Konpira, in addition to the pitch-black Haki, there was now a faint layer of green light.
"This is..."
A flash of surprise crossed Gion's eyes.
The surrounding Shadowkhan seemed extremely afraid of this light, their movements noticeably slowing down.
"Good Chi boost!"
Uncle hopped up and down, shouting and pointing at the group of Shadowkhan. "Use magic to defeat magic! Hurry! Uncle's magic cannot hold for too long! One more thing—don't break the lizard!"
Gion didn't need Uncle's reminder.
As a battle-hardened Marine Vice Admiral, she instantly seized the opportunity.
"Shave (Soru)!"
Boom!
The rock beneath her feet shattered instantly.
Gion's figure vanished into thin air.
The next second, she appeared dozens of meters away in the densest cluster of shadows.
Konpira in her hand drew a perfect arc in the air.
"One Sword Style: Whirlwind!"
Shing—!
The circle expanded.
This time, there was no reconstruction.
The Shadow Ninjas swept by the sword light were like snowmen splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, emitting shrill, soundless screams.
Their bodies boiled violently in the green light, disintegrating until they were completely annihilated into the air.
Cleared!
Within a radius of a hundred meters, not a single shadow remained standing.
"Cool—!!"
Jade clung to the cabin door, almost falling out in her excitement, waving both hands frantically. "Uncle Jackie, look! Is that a Jedi lightsaber?!"
Jackie watched, dumbfounded.
That speed, that destructive power... she was more of a monster than Shendu!
The sword in Gion's hand moved faster and faster.
With a means to completely destroy the enemy, she no longer held back her stamina.
The suppressed anger was now fully unleashed.
That bastard named Shendu had made her suffer such a big loss earlier; now she would collect some interest from these minions!
"Rankyaku: Chaos!"
Gion leaped high, her long legs turning into countless afterimages in the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Dozens of crescent-shaped vacuum slashing waves shrieked out. Each one carried a sharpness capable of slicing through steel, along with that green light that suppressed evil.
The Shadowkhan below fell in swathes like wheat.
The ground was sliced to pieces; the originally flat mountaintop platform was now covered in crisscrossing deep trenches.
"Too strong..." Captain Black swallowed, the gun in his hand long since lowered. "Is this really power a human can possess?"
Uncle, however, furrowed his brows, the dried pufferfish in his hand trembling slightly.
"No... something is wrong!"
Uncle stared at the compass in his hand. The needle was spinning madly, as if it had lost control.
"The Chi is too strong! The Yin-Yang balance here was already very fragile!"
Uncle's face changed drastically, and he shouted in Gion's direction, "Stop! Stop quickly! You cannot use such strong power!"
But Gion was currently in the exhilaration of combat, and the howling wind around her drowned out Uncle's warning.
Seeing that the Shadowkhan ahead had been cleared out by more than half, the path to the floating palace was open.
A cold glint flashed in Gion's eyes.
Since the minions were cleared, she would dismantle that so-called palace directly!
She took a deep breath, her right hand tightly gripping the hilt of the famous sword "Konpira." Pitch-black Armament Haki surged madly toward the blade, dyeing the entire sword an ominous ink-black.
With this strike, she would sever the palace along with everything else!
"Konpira: Crescent Moon Slash!"
Gion swung her sword violently.
A massive, crescent-shaped, pink-gold sword energy shrieked out.
This sword energy spanned a full twenty meters in width. With the might to tear the sky apart, it slashed straight toward the floating dark red palace.
BOOM—!!!
A massive explosion resounded through the clouds.
The intense shockwave blew Jackie and Jade sideways, and even the heavy fighter jet was pushed backward a few meters.
However.
The anticipated scene of the palace collapsing did not occur.
The moment that terrifying slash was about to touch the palace, it seemed to hit an invisible wall and exploded into fragments that filled the sky.
But that wasn't the worst part.
The massive "Yang" power contained in Gion's strike clashed most violently with the extreme "Yin" evil energy permeating Shendu's palace.
It was like pouring a basin of cold water into boiling oil.
The space around the entire Victoria Peak suddenly distorted violently.
Crack!
A tooth-aching crisp sound came from deep underground.
Gion landed back on the ground, her brows locked tight.
She felt it.
The earth beneath her feet was trembling. Not the vibration caused by an explosion, but the heartbeat of some... living thing.
"This is bad!!"
Uncle looked at the compass that had suddenly shattered in his hand and let out a miserable cry. "Her power is too fierce; she broke the balance between Dark Chi and Good Chi! The seal is going to be broken."
"What seal?" Jackie scrambled up, looking bewildered.
"The Eight Trigrams Seal! That is used to suppress demons!" Uncle hopped anxiously. "This is not just Shendu's palace; it is also..."
Before he could finish.
BOOM!!!
The ground directly beneath the palace suddenly collapsed.
A bottomless, massive fissure tore open the mountain body instantly, extending all the way to Gion's feet.
A burst of earth-yellow energy—more ancient and heavy than Shendu's evil energy, carrying a strong scent of dust—erupted from the abyss like a volcanic explosion.
"Who is it this time?!"
Gion retreated rapidly, avoiding the erupting aura.
Even from dozens of meters away, she could feel the terrifying pressure contained within that breath.
It was a heaviness that felt as if it could bury the entire world.
" The Earth Demon..."
Uncle slumped onto the ground, watching the pillar of earth-yellow light shooting into the sky, muttering to himself.
"Dai Gui... his door has loosened."
