Chapter 278 Shennong is captured

Shennong, who was trapped in a huge water prison, was not afraid at all. He defeated four ninja swordsmen with ease, which made Shennong's self-confidence unprecedentedly inflated.

Now, he is in the special state of "physical transformation", and is not afraid of any injury anymore. Moreover, the degree of restraint of this water prison on him is completely ineffective under the amplification of his eight gates being fully opened!

.........

The half-merman-like Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost and Shennong with all eight gates open engaged in a crazy collision in the huge water dungeon centered on the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost.

The dull sound of impact continued to echo in the water prison, and then spread to the surrounding forest.

However, gradually, Shennong realized that something was wrong. The dark chakra in his body that supported him to maintain the "flesh transformation" state was constantly decreasing. Especially every time he colliding with the Xiguashan puffer ghost, his dark chakra would quietly disappear.

At this time Shennong finally understood what the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was planning, and belatedly realized the essence of the Water Prison Mermaid Dance. However, he had already lost the best chance to escape.

If Shennong had violently broken the water prison and quickly escaped when it was just formed, it would still be possible to do so. After all, Shennong, with all eight gates fully open, was extremely powerful at this time, and his strength could be said to be among the best among the shadow-level powerhouses.

However, after the water prison was fully deployed and engaged with the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, it was not so easy for Shennong to escape. After all, the greatest feature of the Water Prison Jiaowu was that it moved horizontally with the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost as the center.

If Shennong's speed could be fast enough to crush the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, then he could indeed use his speed advantage to rush out of the water prison and get rid of the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost's entanglement.

However, unfortunately, even though Shennong had all eight gates of power activated, he still couldn't shake off the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost in the form of a half-merman. After all, the extreme speed displayed by the half-merman in the water without any resistance was no joke.

Therefore, Shennong has entered the countdown to chronic death!

"Ninja Technique: Super Divine Fist!!!"

The powerless and furious Shennong once again gathered the little dark chakra in his body and punched the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost.

The eyes of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost suddenly lit up. Shennong's physical skills were not pure physical skills like Konoha's Gokuken, but more like a kind of ninjutsu, a dark physical skill constructed through his unique dark chakra!

The mermaid glided through the water at an astonishing speed, opened his arms, and caught Shennong's punch head-on. When Shennong's fist came into contact with the mermaid's body, a powerful force burst out instantly, and the dark chakra was like a black whirlwind, tightly wrapping around the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost in the mermaid state.

However, Shennong soon felt that his fist seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit. The dark chakra gathered on his fist was being quickly absorbed by the mermaid's body and was completely absorbed before he could react.

In a trance, Shennong seemed to hear a sound like a burp.

Shennong made a mistake again. This time, it was purely a crushing defeat in terms of vision. It can only be said that Shennong, who was born in a small ninja village, and moreover, a small ninja village like the Sky Ninja Village which was focused on developing chakra technology and did not attach importance to ninjutsu at all, did not have a clear understanding of the Water Prison Samedange Technique and the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon that was fused with the broadsword Samehada.

He originally thought that the Xiguashan Puffer Demon's ability to absorb the dark chakra in his body at the moment of every collision was the effect of this special water prison. After all, with Shennong's knowledge, he had no idea that there were ninjas in the ninja world who could absorb chakra with their bodies. Moreover, the Xiguashan Puffer Demon had never used the ability of the Big Sword, Samehada, to absorb and devour chakra in front of Shennong from the beginning of the war to now.

.........

After continuing to struggle in the water prison for a while, the dark chakra in Shennong's body was finally sucked away completely by the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost. The state of "flesh transformation" and all eight open gates were automatically released and closed as the dark chakra was exhausted.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost took the initiative to release the Water Prison Mermaid Dance technique, and water splashed down from the sky like a waterfall, forming a water curtain, as if a heavy rain had fallen in the forest.

The water splashes are dancing in the air, sparkling with crystal light, like countless sparkling gems falling from the sky, shining brightly under the sudden sunlight...!

Shennong's body fell weakly to the ground, accompanied by flying water.

Fortunately, Shennong, out of his instinct for survival, used the last bit of dark chakra to actively close the Death Gate at the last moment. Otherwise, he might have become a corpse now.

"Sealing Technique: Diamond Seal!!!"

Uzumaki Shinki, who had been playing a supporting role throughout the battle, began to fulfill his duties after seeing the battle was over. Several golden chains stretched out from his back and pierced into Shennong's body, sealing him.

However, this is not his fault. After all, he was not a combatant. Moreover, sensing, tracking and finding Shennong, as well as sealing Shennong's chakra were the tasks given to him by Qingsi.

What's more, as the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan of the Hidden Mist Village, Uzumaki Shinki shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving and inheriting the Uzumaki clan. He cannot allow any problems to occur before the Uzumaki clan truly grows and recovers.

The Xiguashan Puffer Ghost also landed next to the half-dead Shennong, looked at Uzumaki Shinki's actions, and nodded.

Uzumaki Shinki, who had completed the seal, taunted Shennong, "Look, you old man! We clearly wanted to reason with you, but you insisted on talking to us about physics! Now look..."

After hearing this, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost smiled helplessly, but he had to admit that what Uzumaki Shinki said was correct.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were dispatched together only as an emergency measure. Originally, they had not actually intended to fight Shennong. If they could lure him back to the Hidden Mist Village without bloodshed, then everyone would be happy.

Who would have thought that Shennong, this old man, would have such a bad temper...
