Chapter 172: My Style is Superior to Yours
Pain’s Deva Path first pulled Fang Ye toward him with Bansho Ten’in (Universal Pull), then unleashed Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push).
Boom!
A mysterious gravitational pull was immediately followed by a repelling force, hurling Fang Ye violently into the distance.
Pain’s strategy didn’t stop there. After their skirmishes, he had taken a keen interest in Fang Ye’s physique. If he could turn Fang Ye into one of the Pain bodies, it would be a powerful addition to their ranks, greatly advancing their plans.
Pain lined up a row of black rods in front of him, using Shinra Tensei to send them flying toward Fang Ye, aiming to impale his body.
Crash!
Fang Ye didn’t resist, allowing the repelling force to hurl him away. His body slammed through several walls, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
The black rods followed swiftly, whistling through the air toward him.
Armament Haki!
Fang Ye activated his Armament Haki, enveloping his body in an invisible armor.
Clang!
The black rods struck Fang Ye’s body with a sharp sound, causing a brief sting but failing to penetrate his defenses.
Fang Ye rose steadily, his fists alternating as he shattered each incoming black rod into fragments.
Soon, a thick layer of black debris piled at his feet.
“If this is all you’ve got, it’s far from enough to take my life,” Fang Ye said as he stepped forward, his body shooting toward Pain like a bullet.
“Now let me show you what real pain feels like!”
In an instant, Fang Ye appeared in front of the Deva Path and threw a devastating punch.
Pain extended several black rods from his sleeves to block the strike.
“Flames!” Fang Ye shouted. His fist turned into blazing flames, bypassing the rods and unleashing a fiery burst at Pain.
“Shinra Tensei!”
Pain deployed a smaller-scale Shinra Tensei, deflecting the flames.
At the same time, the Preta Path appeared behind Fang Ye and locked his arms.
“Fire Style?” Pain muttered, commanding the Preta Path to absorb Fang Ye’s chakra.
But to their shock, Fang Ye didn’t rely on chakra at all. The Preta Path absorbed nothing.
Unfazed, Fang Ye flexed his arms with tremendous force.
Rip!
The Preta Path’s arms were torn off.
Without hesitation, Fang Ye followed up with a punch.
Boom!
The Preta Path’s head was obliterated, its lifeless body collapsing.
With the Preta Path gone, five of the Six Paths of Pain had been defeated.
Now, only the Deva Path remained.
Facing the unstoppable Fang Ye, Pain finally unleashed his full power.
“Shinra Tensei!”
The Deva Path’s cooldown for the technique had ended, and he used it again.
“Useless!” Fang Ye shouted, standing firm against the repelling force. His body, wrapped in Armament Haki, resisted the push.
“Flame Punch!”
Fang Ye’s fiery fist burst forward, punching through Pain’s barrier.
“What?!” Pain’s face twisted in disbelief as his shield began to deform under Fang Ye’s force.
The blow’s recoil sent Pain flying, crashing through several walls and propelling the battle to the outskirts of Amegakure.
“Feeling my pain yet?” Fang Ye sneered, launching himself toward Pain once more.
“My pain… exceeds yours!” Pain growled, slamming his fist into the ground.
“Bansho Ten’in!”
The Deva Path’s punch shattered the ground, unleashing an immense gravitational pull that drew up underground water. In moments, a vast lake formed beneath their feet.
Pain ran across the water’s surface, evading the fiery projectiles Fang Ye hurled at him from a distance. The relentless barrage resembled a flaming gatling gun, fireballs raining down like meteors.
“Shinra Tensei!”
Pain crouched, extending his hands to create a transparent barrier that deflected the fireballs. The impact sent water vapor billowing into the air.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Pain taunted, smirking as the fireballs subsided.
Boom!
From the vapor emerged a massive fireball, which split into countless smaller fireballs, attacking Pain from all directions.
Caught off guard, Pain was struck and sent flying. Regaining his balance mid-air, he fired lasers to destroy incoming debris.
“Bansho Ten’in!”
Pain pulled a massive boulder toward Fang Ye, intending to crush him.
The rock, like a small mountain, landed on Fang Ye with a thunderous crash.
“Is that it?” Pain sneered.
Boom!
An explosion erupted from beneath the boulder.
Boom!
A second blast shattered the massive rock, revealing Fang Ye unscathed.
“Mountain Smash!” Fang Ye roared, hurling a fiery, half-melted boulder at Pain.
“Shinra Tensei!”
Pain raised his barrier once more, deflecting the molten rock, which exploded behind him, creating a series of fiery blasts.
From the smoke, Fang Ye emerged, fists blazing as he attacked Pain relentlessly.
Pain parried with his hands but was quickly overwhelmed, sent flying by Fang Ye’s punch.
“Shinra Tensei!”
The cooldown ended, and Pain used the technique to repel the surrounding water, clearing the battlefield.
“Flame Fist!”
Fang Ye unleashed his full strength. His flaming punch penetrated Pain’s barrier, scorching his hair and filling the air with the stench of burning flesh.
“How… how did he bypass my Shinra Tensei?!” Pain gasped, grimacing as the backlash twisted his features.
Reacting swiftly, Pain drew two black rods from his sleeve and slashed at Fang Ye’s unflamed arm.
Clang!
The rods clashed against Fang Ye’s arm, producing a metallic sound. Though the rods stopped his lethal grasp, Fang Ye wasn’t done.
“Let’s see you dodge this!” Fang Ye roared, preparing another fiery punch.
Pain deactivated Shinra Tensei, allowing its recoil to propel him backward, creating distance.
But his retreat ended abruptly as he embedded himself into a rock wall.
Watching Pain’s disheveled state, Fang Ye smirked. He brought his fist to his waist, charging up a Serious Punch.
Slap!
Pain clapped his hands together, forming seals.
“Bansho Ten’in!” (Universal Pull!)
