179 Chapter 179: Birdcage

Ursus Shock: Air Bullet!!

Ignoring the insane laughter coming from the mouth of the Eight-Headed Serpent. Tyrant behind Yu had already condensed a highly compressed sphere of white air energy between its bear-like paws.

Boom!!!

After hitting the central giant snakehead, Ursus Shock: Air Bullet. The compressed air energy sphere exploded violently.

Like an atomic bomb, the intense and enormous energy shockwave instantly blew up the middle snake head along with the adjacent one, turning them into a rain of blood on the spot.

"Roar!!"

In the blink of an eye, five huge snakeheads were blasted, and the remaining three giant snakes emitted a painful roar.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to have such a move... Can't underestimate you," Orochimaru said.

In an instant, after Yu blew up six snake heads, Orochimaru actually emerged from the mouth of another giant snake nearby, with a crazed and sinister smile on his face, "But it's useless. My Eight Branches Jutsu is indestructible; they can constantly regenerate..."

"Such troublesome Ninjutsu..."

Indeed, as Orochimaru said, Yu could see that the six snake heads blasted by Tyrant were slowly recovering.

Unlike the anime character Uchiha Itachi, who had the legendary weapon, the Totsuka Blade, to instantly seal the Eight-Headed Serpent, Yu didn't possess such a mythological tool.

"Ice Burst: Pheasant Beak!!"

With a somewhat skeptical mindset, Yu manipulated the ground beneath him, and Toshogun punched fiercely.

The power of freezing erupted as a giant ice bird hit the Eight-Headed Serpent. The force of the frozen and condensed power, combined with the explosion, directly shattered two huge snake heads. However, the previous six snake heads of the Eight-Headed Serpent had completely regenerated.

"You stubborn little brat, die!!"

Orochimaru, seemingly angered by Yu's powerful attack, controlled the remaining six snake heads to aggressively bite Yu.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Facing the six ferociously biting snake heads of the Eight-Headed Serpent, Michael behind Yu instantly erected a massive Barrier Arc, firmly blocking all the impactful attacks in front of him.

The enormously colossal Eight-Headed Serpent moved within the frozen forest, continuously smashing the ground, and creating massive craters with its eight tails. The splattering rocks stung the faces of both Haku and Kimimaro.

"Blocked?!"

Seeing the enormous arc-shaped barrier erected by Michael actually withstand all the attacks from the Eight-Headed Serpent, Orochimaru's gaze couldn't help but narrow. However, his face quickly revealed a wicked smile again, "Now let's see how you'll defend! Hahaha..."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

Accompanied by Orochimaru's maniacal laughter, he controlled the fully regenerated eight snake heads of the Eight-Headed Serpent. They opened their menacingly sharp mouths, bypassing the massive Barrier Arc erected by Michael, attacking Yu from various angles—top, bottom, left, and right.

'This won't work for much longer...'

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru in his peak state was much stronger than imagined. This level of power was nearing that of a super Kage...

Facing the colossal snake heads of the Eight-Headed Serpent biting from all angles, Yu, who was in the sky, seemed to have no way to escape. However, Orochimaru's frenzied assault also stirred up a sense of determination within Yu.

"Everything in the world has its limits..."

"I refuse to believe that your Eight-Headed Serpent can truly regenerate infinitely!!"

With a deep and resolute voice from Yu, his entire body rapidly spun in the high sky. The Armament Haki-blackened palm formed into a hand blade, and the forceful slash seemed to create a divine weapon cutting through heaven and earth.

Blade of Flowing Water!!

The two youngsters, Haku and Kimimaro, in the nearby forest, only felt a black flash before them. Yu, surrounded by the Eight-Headed Serpent's eight attacking snakeheads, severed them all. The frozen forest beneath his feet was split into an endless ravine.

"Hiss!!!"

It was as if the sky started raining blood. The ground of the frozen forest underfoot was stained red with the blood of the Eight-Headed Serpent. The severely wounded serpent continued to writhe, beating its immensely colossal eight tails.

Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!!

Not only that, even before the Eight-Headed Serpent could regenerate from its injuries, a wildly violent thunderbolt flashed through the air.

Kaio, enveloped in a lightning shield, transformed into a streak of lightning. The Strongest Spear formed in his hand, directly blasting a massive hole in the colossal body of the Eight-Headed Serpent!

In his prime as the strongest Raikage capable of close-quarters combat with Tailed Beasts, Kaio's power was undoubtedly affected after being turned into a human puppet by Yu. However, the strength unleashed by Kaio in his full force was still terrifying.

Continuous Pressure Cannons!!

Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!!

In the high sky, Yu simultaneously manipulated four Devil Puppets. Tyrant, standing in line in front of him, was also not idle. Its massive bear paws struck in a continuous sequence, generating numerous powerful shockwaves that erupted fiercely on the body of the Eight-Headed Serpent.

Even utilizing the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai's chakra, Yu released scorching hot fireballs. Using the ability of Paw Fruit: Flight Slap, they instantaneously shot out, continuously burning the serpent's body.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Damn brat! I will definitely turn you into my vessel!!"

Unexpectedly, when Yu manipulated all four Devil Puppets to go all out, such astonishing power erupted. Under the combined assault of Tyrant, Michael, Toshogun, and Kaio, Orochimaru, merged into the body of the Eight-Headed Serpent, had almost no time to catch his breath. His entire body was already stained red with serpent blood, looking grotesque and terrifying.

"Even at the brink of death, still indulging in delusional ambitions..."

Witnessing the constantly regenerating Eight-Headed Serpent and the disheveled Orochimaru, Yu unleashed the full power of his Thread Fruit ability. He raised his arm high, "Disappear with your laughable malice and ambitions from my sight!!"

Birdcage!!

With Yu's loud words and raised palm, countless threads erupted like a volcanic explosion, continuously shooting out into the higher sky. These thousands of transparent threads began to fall like a meteor shower.

Upon reaching the edge of the frozen forest at their feet, countless threads completely covered and enveloped the entire forest where everyone was, forming a massive Birdcage that arched from the sky to the ground.

These threads possess an incredibly sharp cutting ability; a gentle touch is enough to wound any object. Therefore, this technique, like a true Birdcage, makes it nearly impossible for those trapped inside to escape. Moreover, it continuously tightens and shrinks according to Yu's will, like a folded umbrella retracting inward. It gradually cuts and slices everything inside, bit by bit.

"What is this?!"

The entire being, along with the Eight-Headed Serpent, is trapped inside this enormous Birdcage. Feeling the threads tightening and cutting around his body, Orochimaru's slender snake pupils immediately contracted.

Clang!!

At this moment, a part of the Eight-Headed Serpent's body finally regenerated. Startled, Orochimaru manipulated its eight enormous tails to strike the Birdcage that was closing in and cutting from all sides. Blood splattered, and the serpent's tails that struck the threads were actually being severed one after another. It couldn't shake the continuously shrinking Birdcage in the slightest!
