Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 259 Puzzles
The water knife directly penetrated Lei Luo's chest, and then flew towards the distance, cutting off a large area of ​​trees again, and billowing smoke and dust.

But now it was within the time-deletion period, so although the water knife came fiercely and its speed was as fast as thunder, it did not cause any damage to Lei Luo.

Walking through the soaring flames and wading through the raging flames, Lei Luo quickly ran towards the direction where the water jet flew.

At this moment, no matter it was the tall dead wood that had been burnt to the ground, the thick smoke and dust that filled the surroundings, or the intense heat generated by the flames, none of them affected Lei Luo in the slightest.

According to the flying speed displayed by the water jet at the moment when it was fired, after simple calculations, Lei Luo judged that the position of the shackles was not far from him.

So after running for about tens of meters, he stopped when he found a slightly abnormal area, and quickly scanned the surroundings with his eyes, intending to find the figure of Xi.

Here is a slightly open weedy bush, with an area of ​​about tens of square meters. Compared with the monstrous fires in other nearby places, this place is surprisingly calm.

'It should be here...'

Lei Luo frowned slightly as he didn't see the imaginary trace of the shackle's body, and couldn't help but doubt his own guess.

At this moment, a warm wind blows slowly, carrying many sparks floating in mid-air.

Those sparks are countless, burning leaves all over the sky, and some branches of trees that are about to burn out and turn into ashes soon.

By chance, a part of Mars first floated from the sky to the top of Lei Luo's head, then went straight through his body, and gently fell on the weeds under his feet.

The moment it touched the grass, the sparks were instantly extinguished, and even some unburned leaves did not light up with a trace of fire.

It feels like this small area is isolated from the surrounding sea of ​​fire as a whole, like a small oasis in the desert.

The scene where the corner of his eyes inadvertently swept down to his feet made Lei Luo's heart move, and he couldn't help but look up again to look around, especially at the junction between the weeds and the sea of ​​fire.

After such an observation, Lei Luo noticed a small detail:

He found that all the fires that spread over reached the area he was in, and they were all extinguished without a sound.

It is worth noting that during the extinguishing of the flame, no matter where it is on the ground, no matter such as water vapor is produced.

It's as if every blade of grass here has been treated to resist burning, and every inch of space is filled with some kind of inert gas that extinguishes the flame and lowers the temperature.

This abnormal situation, which is extremely inconsistent with the laws of nature, immediately made Lei Luo realize:

Three-tailed Jinchuriki's main body is probably here, but the opponent should be in a special state of magic and object concealment, so I can't find the opponent's position.

Five seconds had passed since the time cut, Lei Luo knew that his time was running out, he had to find the cheetah before the end of the time cut, and give the opponent a fatal blow to force the opponent to completely transform into a tailed beast.

Otherwise, the battle has dragged on for so long. Counting this time, the three-tailed Jinchuriki has experienced a full 4 times in a row. No matter how brainless the opponent is, they should have noticed something wrong.

If the shaman were also playing the trick of running away like the third generation of Raikage, Lei Luo was really not sure if he would have the ability to intercept a Jinzhuriki who was wearing a tailed beast coat and was not slow at all.

"The scope of this area is not too big. If the main body of Sanwei Jinchuriki is really here, then..."

Thoughts turned rapidly, and Lei Luo suddenly thought of a good way to search for the opponent's location.

He exhaled lightly, then raised his hands, stretched his arms as far as possible, and ran forward with his arms raised.

When he ran to the junction where the flames were extinguished, Lei Luo turned around and ran in another direction, and tried his best to ensure that the path of this run did not overlap with the place he ran before.

This method is to take advantage of the time-deleted feature:
That is to say, during the time-deletion period, he cannot interfere with external matter, and when he approaches within one meter of the living body, he will be bounced away by an invisible force field.

Although this is the limitation of Lei Luo's current ability, it does not prevent him from inferring Xi's position in reverse at this time by virtue of his inability to interfere with external objects.

Another two seconds passed, and when Lei Luo was halfway through the third turn-back run, he suddenly felt that his right hand seemed to have suddenly touched a wall of air.

Before Lei Luo could react, his right hand was directly bounced aside, gently rippling in mid-air.

And this also made him turn his head abruptly, his eyes fixed on the empty area in front of him.

"it's here!"

The time moved back by one second again, and there were only two seconds before the end of the time cut. Lei Luo stood in front of the "perceived" position of the scorpion.

He stretched out his hands, and while counting the passage of the last two seconds, uncharacteristically, he slowly formed three imprints.

The reason why the seal speed this time is much slower than before is to pinpoint the timing, keep it at a speed that is neither too fast nor too slow, and then accurately launch ninjutsu attacks at the moment after the time cut ends.

This is to prevent the ninjutsu that is about to be cast from being affected by time deletion, which will trigger the restriction of "interfering with the outside world", and the ninjutsu effect will be eliminated.

This operation, referred to as "stuck point", is a trick that Lei Luo came up with in a flash of inspiration just now after accumulating the experience of deleting when using it many times, and considering that the shackle's defense is not easy to be broken.

So, he put it into practice.

In the process of slowly forming the seal, Lei Luo was also uneasy. His eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes focused on the invisible but real enemy in front of him. At the same time, he whispered to himself:
"At the end of the first time, you didn't completely avoid my blade. At the end of the second time, you reacted to my Kunai attack in time, but you couldn't avoid the thunderstorm."

"If it wasn't for your tailed beast coat, you would have been severely injured by me at the end of the second time."

"In other words, although your reaction speed is very fast, it's nothing more than that."

"And this fourth time to delete..."

After pondering for a moment, when the time was about to flow to the last second, Lei Luo's body suddenly burst into strands of electric sparks, and another thunderstorm was about to be sparked.

He squinted his eyes, and slowly spit out the last sentence:
"I want to see, this time, under the offensive I have prepared for a long time, can you avoid it in time?"

At this moment, time finally flowed to the last second, and the fourth time period of this battle also ended.
