Since both parties were moving towards each other, the distance quickly shortened to just over ten kilometers. Once Second Body confirmed that the other party was also moving in a straight line, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
Ten kilometers was enough for Piercing Ox to charge and build up momentum for a while, but Piercing Ox was still too fragile. Second Body decided to merge it with the Shikigami Tiger Burial.
As Second Body summoned this merged Shikigami, a monster with a tiger's head, tiger's claws, ox horns, and an ox's body emerged from the shadow of her hand seals. Its body was even larger than Full Elephant, measuring over forty meters long and more than twenty meters tall at the shoulder.
"It has Tiger Burial's sharp claws, teeth, flexibility, and defense, and Piercing Ox's charge, speed, and ramming horn. I'll call you Zhen."
Second Body was very satisfied with the appearance of the merged beast Zhen. She immediately controlled Zhen to start accelerating, while Second Body and Ms. Pakura rode Jade Hounds behind it.
Unlike Piercing Ox, Zhen didn't just charge straight ahead. It also had Tiger Burial's flexibility, leaping between tree trunks and through the air, but its speed was by no means slow.
As Zhen's speed increased, Second Body even needed to use Wind Release to accelerate her Jade Hounds to keep up with Zhen, but she could only barely see its back.
At this point, the distance between the two sides had narrowed to just a few kilometers, and the sensory Ninja among the Iwa Ninja also detected Zhen's movement.
However, by the time they sensed it and hesitated for a moment, it was already a bit late. They saw rolling dust spreading from the forest.
It was as if an ancient monstrous beast was charging, with countless fragments of trees and rocks flying, and the earth-shaking commotion growing louder and louder.
In the air, Second Body and Pakura switched to riding Nue, mainly because Jade Hounds could only eat dust when following Zhen. The view from the air was much clearer.
On Zhen's ox horns, space itself seemed distorted, and a blinding sharp edge seemed capable of shattering the entire world. Nothing could stop it; everything shattered.
"My goodness! It's incredibly powerful. I'm afraid even Five-Tails, Mū King couldn't withstand Zhen's charge, could it?"
Second Body's small face was flushed with excitement. This kind of speed and passion, violence and destruction, truly ignited her fighting spirit.
At this time, Kitsuchi and the others were still discussing whether to clear the path and let the attacking monster pass, but everyone unanimously agreed that this monster was coming straight for them.
Because they had changed positions several times, but this monster still locked onto them. When they changed direction, the monster also changed direction.
At this moment, Han was communicating with Five-Tails, Mū King inside him. Primarily, Mū King, as a Tailed Beast skilled in running and ramming, felt an urge to collide with this monster.
Five-Tails, Mū King is the most gentle of the Nine Tailed Beasts, which is why Han was able to become a perfect Jinchuriki; the Tailed Beast would not invade his will.
"Han, let me out. This monster is provoking me. You know I am the Ninja World's best beast at running and ramming. I must accept this challenge."
Mū King was pawing at the ground, unable to resist the feeling of wanting to run freely and ram. If he didn't build up momentum soon, he might lose.
"All right, Mū King, I'll leave it to you." Han let his own will fall asleep, and Five-Tails, Mū King directly took over his body, then transformed into a white deer-bodied, dolphin-headed form, forty to fifty meters tall.
Kitsuchi watched Five-Tails appear and wasn't very worried. He also understood Five-Tails, Mū King's desire, so no one was concerned.
Mainly, they believed that no beast could win a collision against Five-Tails, Mū King, let alone when Mū King's speed would increase after using Boil Release.
Mū King ignored Kitsuchi and the others, accelerating its hooves, and then its Five-Tails began to spew steam, further increasing its speed.
Five-Tails' five pure white, slender ramming horns aimed at Zhen's approaching direction. With each step, its speed was propelled faster by the steam.
Second Body watched the two giant beasts charge from the sky and immediately became excited. This was a rare sight: the Ninja World's most skilled Tailed Beast at running and ramming against the Curse Power World's most skilled Shikigami at running and ramming.
"Ms. Pakura, who do you think will win this collision? Guess correctly and there's a reward!"
Second Body was confident Zhen would win. Although it was smaller than Mū King, it had the advantage of an early charge and the defensive power of Tiger Burial.
"Ah? Five-Tails, I guess, after all, that's a Tailed Beast."
Pakura felt awkward saying that Second Body's summoned beast couldn't possibly be a match for a Tailed Beast. In a one-on-one fight, no summoned beast could match a Tailed Beast.
"Haha, then let's wait and see."
Second Body felt that Pakura was still a bit short-sighted, thinking that the Tailed Beasts were the strongest beasts in the Ninja World. She should know there were also the Three Great Sages, each of whom was no less powerful than the Nine-Tailed.
Zhen's insufficient size was still Second Body's fault. If her Curse Power had reached the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer, she imagined its size could rival Mū King's.
However, Zhen was a stat monster. After a ten-kilometer charge, even the Ten-Tails would be pushed back, wouldn't it? Didn't you see the space twisting around Zhen's ramming horns?
This meant that Zhen's current impact force was second only to Might Guy using Night Guy after opening all Eight Gates. Perhaps its attack power wasn't as high, but Zhen wouldn't be incapacitated after one hit.
Mū King and Zhen's speed grew faster and faster. At this point, their speed could rival a Kage-level Body Flicker Technique, and even Jonin could only see a blur flying past.
In the vast forest, the two monstrous beasts rapidly approached each other, leaving a trail of tree and rock debris and dust behind them.
Soon, the distance between Mū King and Zhen was only one kilometer. Both noticed the other and began their final acceleration.
Their ramming horns also began to lower and point at each other. In terms of the number of horns, Mū King was stronger, with five ramming horns.
However, Mū King's ramming horns were too slender and looked somewhat fragile, while Zhen's ox horns were extremely thick and sharp. The one-kilometer distance would be covered almost in the blink of an eye before they collided.
Neither side showed any fear, so they had no intention of dodging. They only wanted to ram the other to death or be rammed to death by the other.
The next moment, the two monstrous beasts collided. A blinding light erupted there, and the terrifying impact transformed the surrounding trees and giant rocks into rolling dust.
Boom ~!
The sound only then reached Second Body's ears. The dust was swept out by the immense impact, directly covering an area of several kilometers.
At this moment, Kitsuchi and the other three, several kilometers away, were hiding behind giant trees, covering their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, otherwise, a single breath would likely cause pneumoconiosis.
Second Body watched from the air. Although the dense smoke blocked her vision, as Zhen's master, Second Body could confirm that Zhen was not dead.
Second Body waved her sleeve, and a Wind Release swept out, dispersing all the dense smoke. Only then was the result of their collision revealed.
Zhen now had one ramming horn shattered, and the other was completely gone, with only a broken stump visible. Its eye was shattered with a pure white broken horn embedded in it, and blood flowed from its mouth and nose, but it was not dead, only slightly injured.
On the other side, Mū King was sent flying over a hundred meters, landing on its back on a small mountain. At this moment, of its five pure white, slender ramming horns, only the top two remained.
