Chapter 235: Fierce Battle

Seeing Baishi constantly scanning the surroundings, Nagato seemed to realize something. He immediately controlled the floating Tendo Pain and activated Shinra Tensei once again.

A massive repelling force surged toward Baishi.

Unable to resist the force, Baishi was sent flying backward.

However, the duration of Shinra Tensei was limited. Before Baishi could even hit the ground, the force had already dissipated.

Without hesitation, the Wind Wings behind Baishi flapped, a burst of white mist exploding around him.

Immediately after, a series of sonic booms resounded.

In the blink of an eye, Baishi's speed reached its peak.

In a fraction of a second, he had already appeared in front of Tendo Pain.

A Leaf Strong Whirlwind swept out!

Most people, when facing the Six Paths of Pain, needed to cautiously probe their abilities first, gathering intelligence to devise countermeasures.

But for Baishi, this step was unnecessary.

Because he already knew everything about them, he could immediately unleash his full power.

This intelligence advantage also made it easier for him to exploit openings.

Like now—

Since he knew that Shinra Tensei had a five-second cooldown, he immediately counterattacked before Nagato could react.

Nagato had not expected Baishi to be this decisive, so he failed to respond in time.

All he could do was raise Tendo Pain's arms in an attempt to block.

However—

After all this time, Baishi's Strength attribute had already reached nearly 450 points.

Adding the Wind Wings' acceleration, the power behind this kick was overwhelming—far beyond what Tendo Pain could withstand.

Boom!

A dull impact echoed.

Tendo Pain was sent flying like a shrimp, its bones shattering with a sickening crunch.

But Baishi wasn't done yet.

His Wind Wings flapped again, sending him flashing behind Tendo Pain.

Another Leaf Strong Whirlwind!

Tendo Pain was blasted in the opposite direction, tumbling through the air.

"One more!"

Seeing the calm expression in Tendo Pain's eyes, Baishi shouted, appearing behind it once more—

And kicked it again!

Just as he was about to launch a fourth attack, a strange bird suddenly swooped toward him.

"Yatagarasu."

With just one glance, Baishi recognized the three-legged crow.

There was no mistaking it—its sharp beak and gray feathers were unmistakable.

He also knew that this was a summoned beast of the Animal Path, so he didn't take any chances.

Instantly, he channeled chakra, activating his self-created ninjutsu—Chakra Cloak.

A blue glow enveloped Baishi, causing his flying noise to vanish completely.

At the same time, Yatagarasu's beak struck his body—

But failed to leave a scratch.

Baishi showed no mercy to the giant bird.

He swung his palm lightly—

Yet this seemingly casual strike instantly turned Yatagarasu into minced meat.

Although Nagato lost a summon, the brief distraction gave him enough time to make Tendo Pain break free from Baishi's chain attacks.

And the moment Tendo Pain recovered, Nagato immediately activated Shinra Tensei again—this time, stronger than before.

Even Baishi couldn't resist—

He was slammed into the ground.

Danger!

Baishi instantly reacted—he kicked off the ground, sliding backward just in time to dodge the Human Path's soul extraction.

Among all the Six Paths, the one Baishi was most wary of was definitely this one.

It wasn't that the Human Path had strong combat power, but its ability to extract souls was terrifying.

If he were caught, he would at best be severely injured, and at worst, instantly killed.

Until he fully mastered merging body and soul, he wouldn't let the Human Path touch him.

Determined to eliminate it first, Baishi was about to strike—

When suddenly—

Several missiles streaked toward him, heading straight for his face.

Instinctively, Baishi raised his arms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions erupted.

The blue glow of his Chakra Cloak flickered, but not a single scratch appeared on him.

Before the smoke cleared, a fat figure suddenly charged toward him—

A punch aimed straight at his throat.

For a normal person, taking this hit would mean instant death or severe injury.

But Baishi—

Didn't even bother dodging.

Instead—

The moment the attack connected, he grabbed the attacker's shoulder—

And punched back with full force!

Boom!

In an instant, the Asura Path—the cyborg-like Pain—exploded into scattered mechanical parts.

"Heh."

Retracting his fist, Baishi glanced coldly at the remaining two—

Preta Path and Naraka Path.

Then, he curled his index finger—a clear provocation.

This wasn't arrogance.

It was absolute confidence.

Knowing all their abilities, Baishi had no reason to fear the Six Paths of Pain.

The Asura Path and Animal Path were already eliminated.

The Human Path's soul extraction was dangerous, but as long as he didn't let it touch him, it wasn't a threat.

And against Preta Path and Naraka Path—

The former was countered by natural energy, and the latter was merely a support role—neither posed a real threat.

That left Tendo Pain.

Individually, Tendo Pain was strong, but its abilities were best suited for area-of-effect attacks.

In one-on-one combat, Baishi wasn't afraid at all.

Shinra Tensei? Bansho Ten'in?

With his speed and defenses, neither ability could seriously injure him.

Only Chibaku Tensei required caution.

But—

Chibaku Tensei took time to activate.

If the situation got dangerous, Baishi could teleport away immediately.

Besides—

Tendo Pain had already been beaten half to death.

It wasn't even clear how much strength it had left.

Since there was no real danger, Baishi saw this as the perfect opportunity.

A chance to hone his skills and accumulate battle experience.

Even Nagato, usually calm and indifferent, couldn't help but feel a flicker of irritation at Baishi's blatant taunt.

Without hesitation, he ordered the Human Path and Preta Path to attack.

At the same time—

The Animal Path summoned an army of creatures—

Hellhounds, chameleons, giant crabs, bulls, panda golems—each one more bizarre than the last.

Enhanced by the Naraka Path, these summons were much stronger than normal and proved to be genuine nuisances.

Taking advantage of this distraction—

Nagato summoned the King of Hell through the Naraka Path, preparing to repair Tendo Pain and the Asura Path.

But Baishi knew exactly how the Naraka Path worked.

For the repair process to work, the damaged bodies had to be swallowed first.

So the moment the Naraka Path appeared, Baishi turned his full attention—

Toward the shattered remains of Asura Path and the broken body of Tendo Pain.
