Chapter 254 Genius Puppet Master
After forcing back the joint attack of the Red Sand Scorpion and Orochimaru, Shennong smiled wildly and said with overwhelming confidence:

"Orochimaru, if this is all you can do, you'd better kneel down and beg for mercy. I'm in a good mood now, so maybe I can spare your lives!"

Hearing this, Scorpion and Orochimaru looked strange.

It is true that the Sky Ninja Village is your home ground, but aren't you a little too confident? One of them is Orochimaru, the cold king whose reputation shakes the ninja world, and the other is Scorpion of the Red Sand who assassinated the Third Kazekage.

If the two of them join forces, they will be more than enough to deal with the Kages of the five major ninja villages.

After taking back the black crows and gray ants, the Red Sand Scorpion raised the scorpion tail behind it and stabbed at Shennong like lightning. Orochimaru also drew the Kusanagi sword from his mouth and quickly approached Shennong.

Facing the two people's renewed attack, Shennong stepped on the ground with his toes and immediately disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, Shennong came to the side of the Red Sand Scorpion and punched it hard from high in the sky, leaving a shallow dent on the shell of the Feiliu Amber.

The Red Sand Scorpion swung its tail and pierced Shennong's skin without even turning its head, leaving a bloody wound. Orochimaru also seized this opportunity and left several sword marks on Shennong's body.

After being injured, Shennong did not dare to be careless. He quickly distanced himself and covered his head.

Although the injuries inflicted on him by Scorpion and Orochimaru were not fatal, the weapons were coated with poison. Even if he was proficient in medical ninjutsu, it would take a lot of time to remove the poison from his body.

After seeing this scene, Scorpion and Orochimaru stopped their attacks and walked towards Shennong.

Their goal is not to kill Shennong, but to obtain the latest secret techniques and technologies from Shennong. They must ensure Shennong's life safety in order to get everything they want.

Just as Scorpion of the Red Sand and Orochimaru were about to approach Shennong.

The originally injured Shennong suddenly jumped up, and the chakra aura on his body suddenly increased several times, making the surrounding air become distorted.

Shennong, pretending to be injured, instantly came to the two men and attacked them left and right.

After a sonic boom, Scorpion and Orochimaru flew backwards more than ten meters, smashing the wall and leaving spider-web-like cracks on the ground.

After getting up from the ground, the Red Sand Scorpion's expression became uncertain.

He didn't expect that he would be immune to the poison they prepared. It seemed that Shennong was much stronger than he expected, and he had to use all his strength.

Orochimaru's face also looked very ugly. Judging from the color of the steam on Shennong's body, Shennong had undoubtedly opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, and he was only one step away from reaching the highest level of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

It seems that Shennong has made a lot of progress over the years, and his attainments in dark medicine have even surpassed Tsunade.

After making the decision, Scorpion of the Red Sand and Orochimaru decided not to hold back any longer.

After taking out the storage scroll, the Red Sand Scorpion used his psychic powers to take out the most powerful Wind Shadow puppet.

Orochimaru's body suddenly changed and turned into a giant white snake.

Along with the rustling sound of wind blowing through the earth, countless iron sands drilled out from the ground and turned into a metal storm flying towards Shennong. These iron sands controlled by magnetic escape were both the sharpest spears and shields that could withstand everything.

Faced with the magnetic escape technique, Shennong couldn't find any chance to attack.

On the other hand, Orochimaru was holding the Kusanagi sword, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. Shennong kept running in the field, dodging the attack of the iron sand while thinking about how to deal with the two great enemies, the Red Sand Scorpion and Orochimaru.

Although he used dark medical ninjutsu and body activation technique to open the seventh gate of the Eight Gates.

But the state of Eight Gates Ninjutsu is not permanent. Once his physical strength is exhausted and he is out of the state of Eight Gates Ninjutsu, he is no match for these two people.

Looking around and catching a glimpse of the scorpion out of the corner of his eye, Shennong gradually came up with an idea.

Orochimaru, the venomous snake, had demonstrated his extremely powerful strength more than ten years ago. It was very difficult for him to make a breakthrough from Orochimaru.

Although the puppeteer beside Orochimaru is as powerful as Orochimaru, he has many fatal weaknesses compared to ordinary ninjas.

For example, the puppeteer's body is very fragile, and the puppeteer can only control the puppet through chakra lines.

The chakra lines are nearly transparent and the material is extremely tough, making it very difficult for ordinary ninjas to detect, let alone cut through them.

But for Shennong, who is proficient in medical ninjutsu, this is not a difficult task.

After deliberately creating a flaw to lure the Wind Shadow Puppet's attack, Shennong endured the severe pain of the iron sand corroding his flesh, pulled out the Chakra Scalpel, and chopped at the Wind Shadow Puppet floating in the air.

As the chakra thread was cut off, the Wind Shadow Puppet fell like a kite with its string cut off.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shennong stepped on the Wind Shadow Puppet, then stood up and approached the Red Sand Scorpion, wanting to blow up the Fei Liuhu with one punch.

However, at this moment, the Wind Shadow puppet, which had lost control, suddenly stood up, condensed a metal spear, pierced Shennong's body, and countless iron sands also poured into Shennong's body.

Manipulating the iron sand in Shennong's body, Scorpion of the Red Sand successfully controlled Shennong and looked at Orochimaru with a cold gaze.

When he was fighting with Shennong, Orochimaru stood by and watched more than once. Although he never expected Orochimaru to support him, he was quite dissatisfied with Orochimaru's behavior of selling out his teammates.

In the situation just now, if he had not mastered the technology of remotely controlling puppets in advance, he might have to consider a strategic shift and wait until he created a puppet army before fighting back.

Feeling the iron sand in his blood, Shennong's face became extremely ugly.

The iron sand mixed in his blood could take his life at any time. He lost this battle, and lost completely.

But he didn't quite understand how he lost, as he had clearly cut off all his chakra lines.

Without the connection of the chakra line, it is impossible for the puppeteer to control the puppet.

Orochimaru also expressed doubts about this. He deliberately did not take action just now so that Scorpion of the Red Sand would owe him a favor. He would then take action when Scorpion of the Red Sand was in danger of his life.

But just as he was about to make a move, the Wind Shadow puppet that had lost its power moved strangely and stabbed Shennong's body from behind, turning the situation around in an instant.

Noticing the expressions of the two, the Red Sand Scorpion said expressionlessly:
"Using chakra strings to control puppets is a technique used by ordinary puppeteers. I am different from those mediocre people. Even without chakra strings, I can still control puppets."
