Chapter 197 - Konan's Battle

Konan glanced at Shemu, then withdrew her gaze and looked towards the center of the battlefield.

She didn't care at all if Shemu, who had already stood up, would attack her.

"You probably can't imagine what kind of existence the man before you is."

"Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about yourself."

Konan looked at the two people in the center of the fight and spoke in an exceptionally indifferent tone.

Hearing Konan's words, Shemu couldn't help but freeze for a moment. Immediately after, a nervous expression quickly appeared on his face as he looked at Konan, as if fearing she would suddenly attack him.

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

Konan completely ignored Shemu and said calmly.

Seeing this, Shemu couldn't help but show a bewildered expression. Konan's words were clearly not directed at him, so who were they for?

Were there other enemies hidden here?

Shemu quickly tensed his body, his gaze cautiously scanning the surroundings.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment!

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind Shemu. Shemu's body trembled, then quickly stiffened.

Shui Yan held a kunai in his hand, pressing it against Shemu's back, and spoke with a smile:

"Oh dear, looks like I've been discovered."

"You... you, weren't you knocked unconscious by Fu?"

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Shemu spoke with a tone of disbelief.

"I don't just understand you, my apprentice, I also understand Fu. I bet she would use the 'Scale Powder Technique', so I prepared in advance. It seems I gambled correctly."

Shui Yan spoke with a light chuckle, his smile deep.

On the other side, Konan calmly turned her head and looked at Shui Yan:

"So, are you ready to die?"

Shui Yan looked at Konan, a solemn expression flashing in his eyes. He quickly shot the kunai in his hand towards Konan, while simultaneously grabbing Shemu by the neck with one hand and rapidly retreating backwards.

As he continuously retreated, Shui Yan quickly reached for the bulging area around Shemu's waist with both hands.

"No!"

Shemu's face changed drastically, and he struggled desperately. However, Shui Yan's actions made it impossible for Shemu to exert much strength at all.

When Shui Yan felt the transparent gourd hidden under Shemu's clothes, his eyes lit up.

Found it!

Shui Yan quickly took the Hero Water from Shemu's body.

When he saw the continuously flowing crystal-clear liquid in the transparent gourd in his hand, a look of ecstasy appeared on Shui Yan's face.

"Haha! After all this effort, I finally have you in my hands!"

Shui Yan let out a wild laugh, and with a forceful swing of his arm, he directly threw Shemu, who was in his hand, onto the ground nearby.

"You're useless now."

Shui Yan glanced at Shemu disdainfully, then turned his head to look in Konan's direction.

"Originally, I thought with Fu's strength, she could hold both of you back. Now it seems I underestimated your strengths."

"But now that I have the Hero Water, all of you can die!"

Shui Yan let out a low, cold laugh, directly pulled out the stopper on the gourd, and took a small sip of the Hero Water.

Shemu, who had been thrown to the side, saw Shui Yan take a direct sip, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Just a few drops of Hero Water had caused such a massive burst of Chakra within him. And now Shui Yan had drunk so much in one gulp, Shemu could no longer imagine how much powerful strength Shui Yan would gain.

As soon as the liquid entered Shui Yan's mouth, it was quickly absorbed by him.

Rumble!!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within Shui Yan's body.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the clothes Shui Yan was wearing to begin to swell.

In the next instant, an incredibly vast amount of Chakra continuously overflowed from within Shui Yan's body, quickly enveloping his entire body.

If the Chakra that erupted from Shemu's body was light blue, then the Chakra on Shui Yan now was dark blue.

Konan, standing not far across, saw this scene and lightly wrinkled her nose. The amount of Chakra erupting from Shui Yan was indeed somewhat powerful.

Originally, Konan had been somewhat dismissive upon seeing the Chakra erupting from Shemu's body.

Now it seems she had indeed underestimated the amplification provided by this Hero Water.

Paper Ninjutsu: Dance of the Shikigami!

Rustle!

A pair of white wings unfolded from Konan's back, and she gently flapped them.

Countless white papers surged out from these wings, as if forming a white curtain that enveloped towards Shui Yan.

"So it's a Bloodline Limit that controls paper."

The surging Chakra constantly flowing within his body gave Shui Yan a feeling of invincibility.

Looking at the vast amount of white paper surging towards him, a cold smile appeared on Shui Yan's lips.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

A large amount of Chakra, accompanied by Shui Yan's hand seals, rapidly surged out. In almost an instant, an incredibly massive current of water shot up from behind Shui Yan.

Under the amplification of a large amount of Chakra, the power of the Great Waterfall Technique was increased by several times.

Like a real waterfall appearing, it surged towards the incoming white paper.

The large amount of water collided with the paper, letting out a roar.

However, the attacks from both sides only stalemated for a moment before Konan's paper directly broke through the water current and went towards Shui Yan.

"This is..."

Seeing that his Ninjutsu had not had much effect, Shui Yan looked somewhat stunned.

"My paper isn't afraid of water."

Konan looked at the stunned Shui Yan and muttered to herself. At the same time, she extended her palm and gently clenched her hand.

And the large amount of white paper that was originally rushing towards Shui Yan instantly separated the moment it was about to approach Shui Yan, splitting into several streams and surrounding him from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it sealed off all directions Shui Yan could escape.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless sharp whooshing sounds rang out in the air.

After these papers sealed off all of Shui Yan's escape routes, they instantly contracted towards the center.

In the blink of an eye, these papers had tightly wrapped Shui Yan, like a zongzi.

Konan's expression remained calm. She extended her hand and formed a hand seal.

Paper Shuriken!

The countless white papers around quickly changed shape, transforming into shuriken, and shot overwhelmingly towards the wrapped-up Shui Yan.

Under the attack of a large number of shuriken, the wrapped-up Shui Yan completely took the hit. In an instant, the original zongzi turned into a porcupine.

"It's over."

Konan said indifferently.

"So strong." Shemu stared blankly at everything before him. In his eyes, his sensei, who was originally terrifyingly strong,

After swallowing the Hero Water, he was still defeated so quickly by this woman in front of him.

However, just at this moment!

Konan's originally calm gaze suddenly flickered with a strange light.

Boom!

A huge roar sounded from Shui Yan's direction.

The violent force directly blasted open the white paper that was wrapping Shui Yan.

Shui Yan slowly walked out with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and said:

"You think you can finish me off with an attack like this? Who are you looking down on!!"

Konan lightly raised her eyebrow, glanced briefly at Shui Yan's injuries, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes:

"It seems that most of the Paper Shuriken attacks were blocked by the Chakra surging out from the outside of your body?"

Shui Yan's face held a sinister expression. He stomped heavily on the ground, and his entire body transformed into a blue light, disappearing from the spot.

Shui Yan approached Konan's direction rapidly at an extremely high speed. In almost the blink of an eye, Shui Yan had already appeared not far in front of Konan.

His speed was very fast, and the defense formed by his Chakra seemed not low. As for his Ninjutsu, it was also strengthened.

Lines of thought flashed in Konan's eyes. She forcefully flapped the wings on her back, and her entire body quickly rose into the air.

Water Release: Water Shockwave!

Seeing Konan continuously rising into the air, Shui Yan quickly increased his speed and simultaneously formed hand seals rapidly with both hands.

A thick stream of water shot out from Shui Yan's mouth, but the direction of the water stream was not towards Konan in the air, but towards the ground.

Shui Yan quickly jumped up, and using the impact force generated by the sprayed water stream and the ground, his ascending speed was even slightly faster than Konan's.

Shui Yan, who had rapidly ascended, appeared in mid-air level with Konan. Seeing Konan ahead, Shui Yan had a cold smile on his face. He raised the fist in his hand and directly smashed it towards Konan's stomach.

Paper Shield!

Konan's eyebrow furrowed. She fanned her hands forward, and a large amount of paper pieces surged out, beginning to gather in front of Konan.

Instantly, a shield entirely composed of paper blocked Konan's front.

Shui Yan's fist, filled with Chakra, directly slammed onto the paper shield, letting out a heavy thud.

The punch, mixed with a large amount of Chakra, not only shattered the paper shield, but the heavy force was also transmitted through the paper shield to Konan's body.

This caused Konan, who was in mid-air, to be sent flying backwards directly under the impact of the force.

Compared to Konan, who had wings and could fly freely, Shui Yan, after throwing that punch, no longer had the strength to support himself and began to fall downwards from mid-air.

However, there was not a trace of panic on Shui Yan's face. Instead, he quickly formed hand seals as he fell.

Water Release: Water Current Whip!

A long whip entirely composed of water current appeared in Shui Yan's hand.

Shui Yan held this whip with both hands and fiercely swung it towards Konan, who was flying backwards.

Under the effect of a large amount of Chakra, the water current whip rapidly began to lengthen.

Konan also noticed Shui Yan's attack. A thought flashed in her mind.

A large amount of white paper began to gather in front of Konan again, intending to block the incoming water current whip.

However, just as the water current whip was about to approach Konan, under Shui Yan's control, the entire whip quickly changed direction, making a ninety-degree turn in the air.

In the blink of an eye, this whip had already appeared behind Konan.
