"Peng!"
A massive explosion rang out across the entire wasteland!
Ye Liang's Lightning Release was a finely honed ninja art. Though running low on chakra, his skill with the technique still dealt significant damage to Yehuo Leader.
The creature's belly tore open violently from the blast of the Rasengan.
No internal organs appeared as expected!
Ye Liang grew alert. This was just like when he faced Yomi Leader—no attack would truly harm it unless its core weakness was destroyed.
The same went for Yehuo Leader!
"Perhaps only by shattering that eye can this damned creature truly die!" Ye Liang tightened his grip on the bone blade at his waist and charged forward.
[Body Tempering Technique] allowed him to coat the bone blade with Death Qi. If it hit Yehuo Leader, this specially-charged blade would rip out a chunk of flesh.
Just like how he destroyed Yomi Leader's eye before.
He whipped out several bone blades.
"Da-da-da!"
Several bone blades pierced into Yehuo Leader's belly!
No weak points were hit—but what else could he do?
When Yomi creatures reached the third tier, they always concealed their weaknesses effectively. So there was no third vulnerable eye on top of this monster's head!
"Peng!"
Another massive explosion!
Ye Liang swiftly detonated the bone blades.
He rapidly rotated the Sharingan in his eye socket, trying to locate the single vulnerable eye within the torn opening of Yehuo Leader's belly.
"This is impossible! The monster is just a sphere; besides its belly, where else could it hide?" Ye Liang's Sharingan spun so hard it bled, yet he couldn't spot where the monster's weakness was.
"Roar!"
Finally!
After taking a series of attacks, Yehuo Leader tore through Ye Liang's Dark Aura net. Roaring, it charged toward Ye Liang, and its torn-open belly instantly healed.
"Tsks tsks tsks!" Those eyes held a mocking gaze—as if laughing at Ye Liang's earlier arrogance.
Ye Liang gripped another bone blade tightly.
This current situation indeed exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he thought even though Yehuo Leader was powerful, it wouldn't pose much of a threat while injured.
Now it seemed everything was wrong!
Yehuo Leader possessed all abilities of Yomi Leader, including wound self-regeneration. All his previous efforts hadn't harmed the beast at all.
Instead, it thoroughly slapped him in the face.
"Damn it! Where exactly did this thing hide its weakness?"
Ye Liang quickly retreated backward.
While running, he continued observing the monster's movements. It bounced around on the ground like a ball—comical, yet incredibly fast!
Moreover, it occasionally spat out blue flames from its mouth.
Ye Liang found himself at a disadvantage!
"Tied my own noose!"
Suddenly, he dashed toward nearby Yomigami, passing through areas where numerous Yomigami previously resided. However, these smaller creatures dared not confront Yehuo Leader directly and fled immediately upon showing themselves.
Crap!
They couldn't even buy time.
Man and beast kept fleeing nonstop.
A dramatic cat-and-mouse game played out across the endless wasteland.
Ye Liang dashed toward a massive canyon—the only place devoid of Yomigami! Seeing the narrow gap between its cliffs, less than twenty meters wide, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind.
"That's right! Although this guy has strong regeneration abilities, its body isn't as tough as the Yomi Leader's. If I scramble its cells completely, I should eventually uncover its weakness!"
No sooner thought than done!
Ye Liang ran ahead of the Yehuo Leader, just barely having enough time to set things up inside the canyon.
The depths below were extremely treacherous—nearly impossible to see the bottom—but that wasn't important!
His plan was to lure the Yehuo Leader down into this canyon!
Given its massive size, there was a high chance it would get stuck here. Then Ye Liang could attack at will—an immobile target he wouldn't fear at all!
He launched a glowing signal into the sky. In an instant, arcs of lightning burst outward in all directions!
From afar, the Yehuo Leader charged over immediately. It had started losing its way before, but now Ye Liang conveniently lit up its path again!
"It's practically asking for death!" If the Yehuo Leader could speak, it definitely would've mocked Ye Liang with those words.
As the enormous creature thundered straight toward him, Ye Liang quickly wrapped vines tightly around his waist. Then, right in front of the Yehuo Leader, he dove bare-chested into the depths of the canyon!
Before vanishing downward, he hurled a Lightning Ball at the Yehuo Leader too!
I need to maximize the hatred!
The Yehuo Leader grew even angrier—it hadn't even noticed the canyon ahead before launching forward like a dynamic pinball!
"Die already, trashy fish!"
When it looked where Ye Liang disappeared, it froze in shock!
A canyon? A chasm?
Crack!
Its massive round body got stuck tight inside.
It was like a 200-pound fatty wedged deep into a waterbed, unable to move—even if there was a 100-pound skinny guy underneath cushioning slightly!
"You must've had quite the fun chasing me, huh, you little punk?"
Seeing success within reach, Ye Liang swiftly swung himself upward along the vines on the cliffside.
Step by step, he approached the trapped Yehuo Leader. Now, it looked pitiful, like a poor soul who'd taken a beating at home—how utterly wretched.
"Try moving! Why don't you move now!"
Ye Liang hurled a rock downward.
"Pah!"
It struck the Yehuo Leader square on the head!
Still, it didn't budge an inch.
Any random movement might worsen its already tight situation!
No other choice!
Just as Ye Liang drew closer, a surge of blue Yehuo flames erupted from the canyon!
This was the Yehuo Leader's final jutsu.
But he wasn't afraid.
Wrapping himself completely in dark Death Qi, he instantly became impervious to the blue flames.
These flames weren't an offensive weapon—they were merely a fiery effect naturally surrounding its body, much like human hair: something inherently present.
Once Ye Liang stepped onto its head, he felt a warm sensation instantly.
Then, wielding both hands filled with deadly force, he came down with a savage strike!
[Peng!]
Its scalp exploded!
The Yehuo Leader roared furiously, like a dog that had gone through a painful and humiliating procedure. Its cry carried not just pain but also traces of unwillingness.
Unfortunately, it was useless!
Ye Liang would no longer hold back!
Palm after palm came crashing down onto the skull of the Yehuo Leader below him, each strike tearing away nearly an inch of flesh! Soon, the Yehuo Leader's head was completely stripped bare!
"Haha! Found it!"
After smashing half of the head apart, Ye Liang successfully located the hidden eye embedded at the back of his skull!
[He slashed downward in one swift motion!]
Lightning Release energy exploded through the fragile red eyeball, shattering it into pieces!
The Yehuo Leader's body dropped lifelessly.
Having lost the eyeball, he became nothing more than pulpy remains, just like the Yomi Chief before him.
Ye Liang suddenly realized something frustrating!
Earlier, while battering the Yehuo Leader's head, the vines around his waist had apparently been severed by those innocuous flames...
"Damn it! End up buried with the corpse!"
