this is very important.
The key lies in the fact that its entire body is wrapped in high-temperature lava, which, combined with the superb physical skills honed over decades, will produce remarkable results.
Both Lao Zi and Han are absolutely confident in their close combat skills because they can combine offense and defense.
In particular, when Roshi enters Lava Release Chakra Mode, he can melt anything he touches, which greatly enhances his offensive capabilities and provides him with excellent defensive abilities.
The so-called Lava Release Armor possesses extremely high lethality and excellent defensive capabilities, which gives Lao Zi enough confidence to believe that he can defeat Irene.
"Oh?"
Eileen watched this scene with great interest and began to comment: "Interesting, but this is child's play and has no effect on me."
Because my physical body is too strong, the so-called damage cannot be inflicted at all.
Given the dragon's defensive capabilities, how could you possibly break through its defenses?
That's absolutely ridiculous!
Old Purple didn't know any of this; he only thought Irene was too arrogant, and what gave her the right to be so arrogant? Just because she came from Konoha, did that give her the right to be arrogant?
I don't understand! It's not just Rōshi who doesn't understand; even the tailed beast within him—the Four-Tails—doesn't understand why humans these days are becoming more and more arrogant.
Of course, what really worried the Four-Tails was Bai Mu's actions. Why was he collecting the Tailed Beasts? Did he know something? It wasn't Indra or Ashura, so there was clearly something wrong.
The Four-Tails is worried that there might be a conspiracy behind this. Humans like to capture the tailed beasts' tails for their own use, but the problem is that Whitebeard's approach doesn't seem to be like that.
Moreover, the idea of capturing two tailed beasts at once, considering the Two-Tails of Kumogakure, is clearly suspicious. Besides, Konoha still has the Nine-Tails...
Could it be that they really know something?
The Four-Tails was extremely nervous, but it didn't intend to ask anything. It couldn't very well ask through Old Purple, could it? There were some things that couldn't be said to avoid being exposed.
Even though Rōshi is a Jinchūriki who suits his taste, he still can't reveal it, so the Four-Tails decides to wait and see. Besides, is it really impossible to win?
No, that's impossible. It's just a human who seems to possess a terrifying ninjutsu, one that leans towards high-temperature flame explosions. I'm not entirely sure, but it must be related to thermal energy. So, Lava Release can't be wrong. Old Purple has plenty of ways to deal with it, and besides, I'm here for you.
Four-Tails was brimming with confidence, believing this was a sure win, but what happened?
Chapter 219 Four-Tailed Fox: Old Purple, She's Playing You
shocked.
The four-tailed beast was completely dumbfounded inside the Tailed Beast Space.
His own Jinchūriki, Rōshi, couldn't even touch Irene after all his maneuvers; he simply couldn't keep up with her speed. This was impossible, absolutely impossible.
When he enters Lava Release Chakra Mode, Roshi's speed will increase, even if it's not as obvious as his attack and defense, it's still not weak. So why can't he touch him?
Not even able to touch the hem of her clothes?
What kind of speed is that...?
Wait, something's not right. Is it movement, or the Instantaneous Movement Technique?
"Wow, this speed is abnormal!" Four-Tails was shocked, but even more shocked was Rōshi, who was actually moving at the speed of a woman.
The key point is that the other party is so calm and composed, which makes Lao Zi furious and extremely frustrated. How can he deal with the other party's hiding and dodging behavior?
Yes, in Lao Zi's view, he was just jumping around and hiding, not daring to fight at all. Was he afraid?
If Eileen hadn't just sent Han flying with her attack, destroying his steam armor...
Old Purple thought his opponent was incompetent, only able to focus on ninjutsu and afraid to fight him, but judging from this display of Body Flicker Technique, it didn't seem like he had no mastery of taijutsu...
If that's the case, why keep retreating?
I don't understand, I really don't understand!
Lao Zi doesn't understand.
But Four-Tails understood that this person was just playing a trick on him, completely fooling him, and clearly looking down on him.
“Old Zi, she’s toying with you, thinking you’re no match for her, and she’s doing it with extreme arrogance. You have to fight back with all your might.”
Can you tolerate being toyed with like this?
I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.
"I can see that's the case." Old Zi took a deep breath, looked at Eileen with a cold expression, and said in a chilling voice.
I'm not blind; I can see.
Alright, very well. Since you're so arrogant, then I'll let my actions speak for themselves and show you that sometimes being too arrogant can easily lead to trouble...
Yes, being too arrogant will definitely lead to trouble.
Increase speed, increase strength, and then increase defense.
Lao Zi chose to accelerate at full speed, his figure flashing like lightning as he charged straight at Eileen.
From a distance, all you can see is an object encased in lava, its true form completely obscured.
Of course, this set of equipment was completely ineffective against Eileen; even if it had a burning effect, it wouldn't harm her in the slightest.
However, even if Eileen believed in her dragon body, she would not use her physical body to withstand the enemy's damage. She wouldn't even get her clothes slightly dirty, but she still wouldn't confront the attack head-on.
Who would willingly allow themselves to be attacked?
Moreover, the proud Dragon Queen looks down on weak humans like Lao Zi. Although she was subdued by Bai Mu, she was only obedient when facing Bai Mu...
Anyone else?
Sorry, I'm just an ant.
What would Eileen's mindset be when faced with ants? Naturally, she would be disdainful, arrogant, and even conceited.
Why bother with ants?
I don't understand, I don't get it, so Eileen simply raised her hand slightly and said coldly, "Dragon's Breath."
It wasn't dragon breath spewed from its mouth in its dragon form, but rather dragon breath condensed in its palm. However, its power was not to be underestimated; it sent the charging Lao Zi flying back in one move.
The so-called lava armor was completely useless; it couldn't melt the attack at all, and instead, it pierced through his outer layer of lava.
This undoubtedly terrified Lao Zi. It was completely unreasonable that my armor could be broken through so easily.
And just now, Han did the same thing... This...
The more Lao Zi thought about it, the more frightened he became.
I feel like this is outrageous.
But something even more outrageous is about to happen.
Eileen raised her hand and immediately cast an enchantment, applying it to the ground and causing a large-scale ground collapse that resulted in a violent explosion.
The massive explosion directly engulfed me, and then Eileen added magic, infusing the ground from the previous explosion with magical power and flames, triggering another explosion.
Under the relentless onslaught, the lava armor that Old Purple had condensed after entering Lava Release Chakra Mode was instead blasted into pieces and left in ruins.
Originally covered in lava, it now only has lava in a few places, clearly blasted into a state of utter weakness, which Lao Tzu finds utterly incomprehensible.
If it were just the power of Water Release, that would be fine, but why is my Lava Release ineffective against this kind of attack that causes an explosion?
Strange, so strange. Logically, I should be able to withstand it. It shouldn't hurt me at all. I don't feel any pain or burning sensation...
It's more like this is a phenomenon that only occurs in the enemy, so why is it happening to me now?
Also, Han, how long are you going to be down?
When I was fighting the enemy, weren't you up yet? Was it because you were down for too long that you were so fragile?
Old Purple couldn't stand it any longer, so he immediately searched for Han's figure, wanting to know what was going on with him. At the same time, he once again cooperated with the Four-Tails and entered the Lava Release Chakra Mode.
"Senior Lao Zi, I'm sorry."
Han, having recovered, came to Lao Zi's side, surrounded by steam, and reappeared in his steam armor form. He wanted to apologize for his previous crushing defeat, saying that it was his carelessness that led to such a loss, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so badly.
"It's alright, just bear with it. You'll need to use the chakra of a tailed beast at least once." Old Purple looked him over before speaking.
Without the chakra of the tailed beasts, it won't be easy to fight the enemy. Their family is really fierce and shouldn't be underestimated.
"I know."
A tail had appeared behind Han, and the violent steam from his Boil Release was constantly increasing his attack power. Now he could shout, "I can kick you to death with one kick!"
Old Purple and Han came on strong, one using Molten Release and the other Boiling Release, and they performed exceptionally well.
However, Eileen handled this very well, raising her hand to pull the two of them up.
Immediately, the two bumped into each other.
They were manipulated to face off.
The collision of melting escape and boiling escape.
This naturally caused Lao Zi and Han's expressions to change drastically. They both thought it was impossible that they would be controlled like this and then kill each other.
"Damn it, Han, Tailed Beast Transformation."
Left with no other option, Old Purple was furious and decided to transform into a tailed beast.
I refuse to believe that a fully transformed tailed beast could be no match for you.
Seeing this, Eileen took a knife from a distance and immediately swung it down at Old Purple's head. Seeing this, Old Purple instantly grew a tail from his back, a tail formed of chakra.
But with Lao Zi's counterattack, this attack was simply no match for Zhi.
Eileen's blade shattered instantly. Enhanced by magic, its power was far beyond what a mere tailed beast's chakra tail could withstand; in fact, it was severed in one strike, demonstrating its hardness—capable of easily destroying anything tough. It truly cut through iron like mud!
Chapter 220 You actually came for the Tailed Beasts?
With a single strike, Eileen shattered Lao Zi's defensive technique, her momentum undiminished, heading straight for his forehead.
Laozi, of course, could not remain indifferent, and at that moment, Han also rushed over.
Another kick came out, striking Eileen in the waist.
Noticing this, Eileen turned slightly to the side.
He easily avoided the kick.
He then swung his knife in a backhand strike.
