Chapter 55

Three ninjas stood behind the Sand Ninja captain.

Upon hearing the command, they stepped forward and began forming hand seals simultaneously.

"Wind Style! Thousand-Faced Wind!" the three shouted in unison.

A strong wind suddenly rose, and visible wind blades hovered in the air.

Under the direction of the three, these tiny wind blades quickly flew toward Su Zhong.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Su Zhong was immobilized by the sealing technique. He tried to break free, but the strange toxin left him weak and powerless.

As the dense, tiny wind blades flew toward him, Su Zhong quickly closed his eyes.

Pfft!

Blood spurted from Su Zhong's body. In an instant, he was cut into a bloody mess by the sharp wind blades.

His black clothes were now tattered, and his body was covered with countless wounds. His face was also marred with cuts, making him look terrifying.

Su Zhong's self-healing ability immediately kicked in.

The wounds on his face, which were visible, began to heal systematically. Combined with his cold gaze, the Sand Ninja felt a chill run down his spine.

A flash of insight appeared in the Sand Ninja captain's eyes.

"Such a powerful self-healing ability. Could this be the Uchiha clan's bloodline ability? Their ability is supposed to be the Sharingan, right?" he wondered.

Akasaka also noticed the issue. "I've only heard that the Senju clan has very strong bodies. I've never heard that the Uchiha clan has any physical advantages."

"This kid is worth the Kazekage sending nine of us to deal with him. He's not as simple as we thought," Zhengyi said solemnly.

The three ninjas using Wind Style were all skilled in ninjutsu. Although they were not familiar with each other, Zhengyi knew their abilities.

"Captain, there's something wrong with this person," Akasaka cautiously reminded.

The Sand Ninja captain remained expressionless.

"Attack together, all at once!"

"Yes!"

"Wind Style! Thousand-Faced Wind!"

"Fire Style! Great Fireball!"

Apart from the three maintaining the sealing technique, the others attacked simultaneously.

The three Wind Style ninjas continued to use their techniques to mutilate Su Zhong.

The Sand Ninja captain used Fire Style, combining it with the Wind Style to burn Su Zhong.

Zhengyi and Akasaka continuously threw shurikens and explosive tags into the center of the sealing technique.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, the entire Uchiha compound's ground shook continuously.

The sounds of explosions, the sharp whistling of wind blades, and the roar of flames mixed together, audible from a distance.

After one wave of attacks, the six ninjas stopped.

The Sand Ninja captain turned to look at the ninjas maintaining the sealing technique nearby.

"How is it?"

"He's still inside, not moving," the sealing technique ninja said with his eyes closed.

The Sand Ninja captain frowned. "Don't relax. Increase the power to prevent him from suddenly breaking free."

"Yes!"

The three ninjas maintaining the sealing technique increased their chakra output.

The Sand Ninja captain waved his hand, and a strong wind blew, dispersing the smoke and dust.

Seeing Su Zhong standing in the center, even the experienced Sand Ninja captain couldn't help but shiver.

Su Zhong's clothes were mostly burned, leaving him barely clothed.

His body was charred black, with terrifying wounds covering his exposed skin. Dozens of cross-shaped darts, shurikens, and other hidden weapons were embedded in his body.

Black-red blood dripped down from the weapons.

He looked more like a charred log than a person.

Su Zhong struggled to open his eyes, staring coldly at the Sand Ninja.

In his entire life, he had never suffered such severe injuries.

Immobolized by the sealing technique, his proud hard qi became a live target!

There was no emotion in Su Zhong's eyes. He feared death, but fear was useless. He was facing death head-on!

The Sand Ninja captain, looking into those clear, black-and-white eyes, his eyes narrowed. "Continue attacking! Increase the power! Don't stop!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The six Sand Ninja attacked frantically. They were scared by Su Zhong's calm and even coldness.

Such severe injuries, and he showed no emotion at all?

What kind of mental strength must he have?

If he really broke free...

Sigh...

"He must not be allowed to live!"

The six Sand Ninja thought simultaneously.

Su Zhong continuously stimulated his blood and qi, repeatedly flushing his muscles, trying to clear the toxins from his body.

But it wasn't effective. The toxin was very strange.

It didn't act like a poison. It didn't damage his body; it even enhanced his physical abilities.

But it made Su Zhong's muscles stiff and numb, weak and powerless. This was more of a side effect, but it was this side effect that put Su Zhong in an unprecedentedly dangerous situation.

This was a poison specifically designed for him. The person who developed it knew him very well.

Is it that old man Danzo? I'll kill him sooner or later, Su Zhong thought with hatred.

Then, Su Zhong cleared all extra emotions from his mind, leaving only cold rationality.

He ignored the attacks from the ninjas, lowering his eyelids to protect his eyes. He focused on dealing with the poison, knowing that if he could recover even a fraction of his strength, he could escape.

As long as he could survive, Su Zhong was confident he could take revenge.

Boom!

Another wave of intense flames, accompanied by sharp wind blades, attacked.

After several waves of attacks, half of Su Zhong's muscles were almost cooked. He could even smell the scent of his own burning flesh!

Su Zhong's mind remained calm, but he was secretly anxious. If half his muscles were cooked, he would have died long ago without his powerful self-healing ability.

He knew his time was running out. Self-healing required a lot of energy, and Su Zhong could feel his blood and qi drying up.

Moreover, compared to his tough muscles, his internal organs were too fragile. If the attacks penetrated to his organs, he would definitely die!

"Just one more wave of attacks, and I'm dead!" Su Zhong's mind suddenly came to this realization.

A wave of red flames flew toward him, the attack imminent!

A great sense of danger suddenly enveloped his entire body. This was the feeling of being close to death.

He had felt it before, when he was about to break through the dimensional tunnel in the previous world.

Was he going to die like this?

A strong will to live suddenly rose from the depths of his heart.

The familiar feeling made Su Zhong pause. This desire for life was the very foundation of his life-saving sword intent.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

Su Zhong's body stiffened. The Boundary-Breaking Pearl had awakened!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Swoosh!

A powerful suction force came from his mind, causing Su Zhong intense pain.

He felt like there was a powerful vacuum cleaner in his brain, sucking and deforming his brain, causing unbearable pain.

Su Zhong's mind went blank.

In the outside world, a suction force appeared around Su Zhong.

In front of his closed eyes, an invisible vortex seemed to form. Flames and wind blades were all sucked into it.

Visibly, Su Zhong's charred and shriveled body began to swell as if inflated.

The black skin cracked and peeled off. A visible black gas emerged from his eyes and dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zhong's wounds were completely healed. The new skin was smooth and white, like fine jade.

The surrounding area was scorched and smoky, but Su Zhong emitted a radiant white light, standing out like a crane among chickens.

The sealing technique on the ground seemed unable to withstand the suction force. The black lines came to life, crawling up Su Zhong's body and entering his eyes.

Ah!

Three screams echoed simultaneously.

The three ninjas maintaining the sealing technique suddenly turned pale.

Strangely, as Su Zhong's wounds healed and his body recovered, the three sealing technique ninjas rapidly withered and aged!

It was as if their lives were being drained and transferred to Su Zhong.

"What kind of forbidden technique is this!" the remaining six ninjas were suddenly filled with great fear.

Even the calm Sand Ninja captain's heart raced.

No wonder he was so calm, no matter how they attacked him!

It turned out he had a forbidden technique that absorbed others' life force to heal himself!

How could they fight this?!

With superhuman healing ability and the ability to absorb others' life force to heal himself.

The Sand Ninja captain regretted it deeply. If he had known he would encounter such a monster, he would never have taken this mission!

Su Zhong slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists.

Crack!

The black gloves, which had withstood so many attacks, were crushed into pieces by Su Zhong.

Holding his hands up to his eyes, the blue veins were clearly visible. His skin was fair and smooth, like a beauty's.

A cool fluid spread throughout his body. He felt as if he were in a warm spring, full of vitality.

Pure hard qi was violent. Hard qi infused with spirit was gentle. After this transformation, the hard qi was resilient and cool, full of vitality.

"Something seems to have been integrated into my body," Su Zhong muttered, ignoring the Sand Ninja in front of him.

"Absorbed Fire Style, Wind Style, and... life force?" Su Zhong glanced at the three sealing technique ninjas, who were now skin and bones.

His heart trembled: "What a tyrannical Boundary-Breaking Pearl."

A flash of insight came to his mind, and Su Zhong was secretly excited: "Could it be that I absorbed and integrated natural energy?"

"Yes. It's not just natural energy, but external energy. This means I have completed another breakthrough in hard qi," Su Zhong was overjoyed.

He never expected that his strong will to live would awaken the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.

With the help of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, he instantly integrated natural energy and fortuitously completed a breakthrough in hard qi!

Su Zhong activated his Insight Eye, and white gas appeared in his vision.

This was a scene he had never seen before.

"Scattered spirit can sense natural chakra. My spirit is integrated into my body, and the Insight Eye is the spirit. I can only observe natural chakra through the Insight Eye. These white gases are most likely natural chakra," Su Zhong watched with great interest.

They moved around, as if not in the same space as the current world. When they overlapped, they would pass through each other.

But Su Zhong was different!

These white gases, upon touching Su Zhong's body, were quickly absorbed.

The cool fluid spreading throughout his body gradually grew stronger.
