Chapter 262: Subjugating Shennong

After Shennong entered the Void Zero Tail Mode, his body underwent a huge change. His entire body was covered in dark chakra, his eyes glowed scarlet, and countless black tentacles extended from his body, dancing in the air like living creatures. A violent smile appeared on his face, and his entire temperament became more evil and dark.

"Come on, Nathan Hawke, let me see how strong you are!" Shennong's voice was low and hoarse, carrying endless violence and murderous intent.

He suddenly launched an attack, and the Zero Tail Chakra tentacles pounced on Nathan Hawke like a sharp blade. Each tentacle carried a destructive force and was unstoppable. Shennong's movements were as fast as the wind, and his body moved quickly around Nathan Hawke like a ghost, and the Zero Tail Chakra tentacles formed a black barrier behind him.

"Zero Tail: Void Fist!" Shennong roared, and a black fist shadow hit Nathan Hawke directly. This punch carried endless dark chakra, with extremely strong penetrating power and diffusion.

Nathan Hawke dodged calmly, his eyes observing the trajectory of Shennong's attack sharply. He moved his fingers slightly, and countless arcs suddenly flashed in the air, "Electricity burst!" The powerful electric energy instantly covered his body, forming an electric current barrier, resisting Shennong's attack.

Shennong's Zero Tail Chakra tentacles were blocked by the electric current barrier, but he was not discouraged and continued to launch a fierce attack. "Zero Tail Shadow Storm!" The black chakra condensed in his hands, forming a powerful dark storm, rushing straight towards Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke's eyes turned cold, and he waved his fingers again, "Telekinetic Shield!" An invisible telekinetic barrier instantly appeared in front of him, blocking the dark storm outside. At the same time, he quickly counterattacked, crossing his hands in front of his chest, "Telekinetic Shock Wave!" A strong telekinetic wave came out from his hands and hit Shennong's body directly.

Shennong was hit by the telekinetic shockwave and his body retreated slightly, but he quickly stabilized his body with a crazy smile on his face: "As expected, it's Nathan Hawke, interesting, really interesting!"

"Zero Tail·Void Blade!" Shennong swung his hands suddenly, and countless black chakra blades flew out from his hands, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and headed straight for Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke responded calmly, dodging most of the attacks with his body flashing quickly. He stared at Shennong with his eyes, and moved his fingers again, "Electricity Flash!" A strong electric light instantly exploded around him, forming a powerful electric shock wave that shattered the Zero Tail Chakra blade.

Shennong's attacks became more and more violent, but Nathan Hawke remained calm. His movements were swift and precise, and each counterattack was powerful. "Telekinesis: Suppress!" Nathan Hawke waved his hands suddenly, and the invisible telekinesis was like a huge palm, instantly pressing towards Shennong's body.

Shennong was suppressed by telekinesis, his body shook slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then turned into wild laughter: "Hahaha, is this your power? It's nothing more than that!"

Nathan Hawke snorted coldly, and his body suddenly burst out with stronger electrical energy. His speed increased instantly, as if he turned into a flash of lightning, and instantly approached Shennong. "Electricity·Thunderbolt Strike!" He punched out suddenly, and his fist, carrying powerful electrical energy, hit Shennong's chest directly.

Shennong was hit by the electric thunderbolt, his body trembled violently, and the black chakra surged wildly in his body. He showed a painful expression on his face, but then turned ferocious: "Do you think you can defeat me like this? The power of Zero Tail is endless!"

Nathan Hawke did not retreat. There was a firm light in his eyes. "Although you are powerful, I will not lose to you!" He launched an attack again. His body moved quickly around Shennong like lightning. The combination of telekinesis and electrical energy made each of his attacks carry destructive power.

Although Shen Nong was powerful, he gradually showed his disadvantage under Nathan Hawke's continuous attack. Although the black chakra was powerful, it could not completely resist the dual suppression of Nathan Hawke's electric energy and telekinesis. His movements gradually became slow, and the wild smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by anger and unwillingness.

"You guy, you actually forced me to this point!" Shennong gritted his teeth, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes. His body burst out with stronger dark chakra again, as if to completely defeat Nathan Hawke.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Doesn't this guy have any fear?" In the symbiotic mode with Zero Tail, Shennong could not even detect any fear from Nathan Hawke.

Shen Nong showed his power, and his entire body instantly erupted with the violent force of dark chakra. His eyes turned scarlet, his pupils shrank, his muscles were so tight that they seemed to be about to burst, and his face was distorted, showing extreme anger and madness. He waved his hands violently, and black chakra tentacles surged out of his body like lightning, sweeping around, and a terrifying sense of oppression filled the air.

"Ahhhhh!" Shennong roared, his voice low and hoarse, with endless violence. He stomped on the ground, and rushed towards Nathan Hawke like a cannonball, smashing his fists at Nathan Hawke with destructive force.

Nathan Hawke calmly observed Shennong's every move. His body suddenly accelerated, turning into a flash of lightning, and instantly dodged to the side of Shennong. He swung his fists quickly, bursting with electricity, and suddenly hit Shennong's waist. Shennong's body trembled violently, blood spurted out of his mouth, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Nathan Hawke did not stop, his movements were as swift as a storm. His body flipped in the air, and his knee suddenly hit Shennong's abdomen, infusing it with electrical energy. The strong impact caused Shennong to spurt blood again, his body bent backwards, and his eyes were filled with pain and anger.

Then, Nathan Hawke suddenly exerted force with his feet, jumped to the top of Shennong's head, and punched Shennong's head with the power of electricity from above. Shennong had no time to react, and his head was hit hard. His body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, making a dull crash.

Nathan Hawke quickly landed on the ground, crouched low, and suddenly exerted force with his legs, rushing towards Shennong again. His hands attacked quickly like sharp blades, and his fists, with the light of electric energy, continuously hit Shennong's chest, abdomen and limbs. Each punch was powerful and fast, and the impact of electric energy made Shennong's body tremble continuously, and blood kept spurting out of his mouth.

Shennong's eyes flashed with reluctance and anger, but his body could no longer keep up with Nathan Hawke's speed and strength. Every time he counterattacked, Nathan Hawke easily dodged it, and the power of dark chakra seemed powerless in front of Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke made the final blow, crossing his hands in front of his chest, and the electric energy quickly gathered to form a strong electric light. He swung his fists suddenly, and the electric energy burst out, hitting Shennong's chest directly. Shennong's body was blown away by the huge impact force and hit the wall hard, making a violent impact sound. The wall instantly collapsed and rubble flew everywhere.

Shennong's body slid down the wall and fell heavily to the ground. His face showed an expression of pain and helplessness, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

Nathan Hawke stared coldly at Shennong who was lying on the ground, his eyes revealing endless coldness and determination. There was a sense of oppression in the air, making people feel suffocated. Shennong barely raised his head, his eyes full of reluctance and anger, but the pain in his body and the exhaustion of strength made him unable to resist.

Nathan Hawke slowly walked towards Shennong, the electric energy on his body gradually dissipated, his voice was low and cold: "Be obedient, and I won't kill you."

Shen Nong gritted his teeth, his face twisted, showing extreme anger and pain. His breathing became rapid, but in the end, his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and surrender. He knew that he had no chance of winning against Nathan Hawke, and continuing to resist would only lead to greater pain and death.

"I understand," Shennong said in a low voice, with a hint of reluctance and helplessness, "I will listen to you."

Nathan Hawke nodded slightly, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. He turned to look at Dou, who was standing beside him. Dou's expression changed from shock to admiration, showing his deep awe of Nathan Hawke's power.

"We have completed the mission, retreat." Nathan Hawke gave the order calmly.

Kabuto immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully, "Yes, sir." He quickly directed the Sound Ninja Team to clean up the mess and make sure nothing was missed.

On the way out, Nathan Hawke's back looked extremely cold and resolute, while Shennong followed slowly behind him with the support of the Sound Ninja. Although he was filled with humiliation, he knew that at this moment he could only choose to surrender and wait for future opportunities.

......

In Otogakure, night fell, and Orochimaru stood at the window of the laboratory, staring at the darkness outside. His eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he was full of expectations and doubts about the group of people who were about to return.

When Nathan Hawke and his team entered the territory of Sound Village, the surrounding guards immediately noticed their presence. The guards quickly reported and informed Orochimaru.

Orochimaru quickly walked out of the laboratory to greet the returning team. The first thing that caught his eye was Nathan Hawke's stern face, still with an impeccable temperament and unscathed state. Nathan Hawke's steps were firm, his eyes were cold and resolute, as if the halo of victory was shrouding him.

Then, he turned his gaze to Shennong. Shennong looked a little embarrassed, his body was obviously seriously injured, his face and arms were covered with scars, showing the traces of a fierce battle. Despite this, Shennong's eyes still flashed with reluctance and anger, but the unyielding will had not disappeared.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, walked forward, and glanced back and forth between the two. His voice was low and a little playful: "It looks like the battle was very intense."

Nathan Hawke just nodded coldly without saying anything. His eyes were still sharp, as if he was seeing through every thought in Orochimaru's mind.

Orochimaru turned his gaze to Shennong and nodded gently: "Shennong, it looks like you've had a tough battle."

Shennong gritted his teeth, his eyes cold: "Orochimaru, your plan is complete. I will keep my promise."

Orochimaru ignored Shennong's thoughts and nodded, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. He knew that although Shennong was seriously injured, his fighting ability and potential should not be underestimated. Now that Nathan Hawke's power has been demonstrated again, it seems that he must rely on others.

"Very good," Orochimaru's voice carried a hint of a strange smile, "We will continue to cooperate and pursue greater power together."

Shennong looked at Orochimaru and then at Nathan Hawke, and the answer in his heart finally emerged: "It turns out that Orochimaru has also surrendered."
