Chapter 216: Who Wins And Who Loses, Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)
"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy..."
Yuichi's voice filled the entire Enies Lobby.
For some reason, when everyone heard this voice, their minds began to tremble slightly.
It felt as if something terrifying was descending.
Yuichi continued, "Boil, negate, and numb. Blink and disrupt the eternal sleep. The crawling princess of iron. The self-mutilating doll of clay. Unite, repulse, fill the earth, and know your own powerlessness!"
The moment he spat out the final chants, Yuichi's eyes seemed to burst with black flashes.
A biting cold air swept across Madara's body in an instant.
Madara stared hard at Yuichi.
In the next second, a cold sound came from Yuichi's throat.
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)!!!"
Boom!!!
In an instant, Madara's eyes suddenly dilated.
He saw energy erupting from Yuichi's body like a volcanic explosion, creating astonishing ripples in the air.
And in the next second, a black substance emerged in front of him, gradually forming a massive cuboid cage that trapped Madara inside.
The huge Black Coffin slowly materialized.
Madara's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, this did not mark the end. Countless shadow blades appeared, madly strangling Madara within the Black Coffin.
Sizzle!
In an instant, a bloody gash appeared on Madara's arm.
Then came wounds on his chest, stomach, neck, and cheeks.
Even Madara himself was uncertain how many attacks had hit him in that instant.
Through a gap where the Black Coffin had not yet completely closed, Madara stared out at Yuichi.
'Amazing...'
'What a... terrifying technique...'
Although the Kidō Yuichi released before was impressive, its power hadn't shocked Madara to this extent.
But this time was different.
The power of Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin) completely convinced Madara.
In this world, there were powers that did not belong to ninjutsu at all!
Even in terms of pure attack power, there were likely few ninjutsu in the entire Ninja World that could match this move.
What made Madara even more admiring was that this ability was developed by Yuichi himself.
In this way, the opponent seemed to be an existence comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.
Right now, Yuichi hadn't reached the heights of the Sage of Six Paths. However, Madara believed that as long as Yuichi did not die, he would definitely become the Sage of Six Paths of this world in the future.
It was a pity that, in Madara's heart, Yuichi would have no time to grow up.
"I lost the ninjutsu duel..."
Madara smiled and spoke regretfully before the Black Coffin's last gap completely closed.
He didn't know if Yuichi could hear his words.
The Black Coffin sealed shut in the blink of an eye.
When the Black Coffin was fully formed, the shadow blades erupting inside became even more terrifying.
But what happened inside was invisible to outsiders.
Even Yuichi himself couldn't see it.
He could only stare at the Black Coffin and wait quietly.
In the end, whether Madara died inside or... survived... was unknown!
Time passed by, minute by minute, second by second.
Everyone held their breath silently as Yuichi released this Hadō.
It scared a lot of people.
Just when they thought Yuichi was at the end of his rope, a more advanced Kidō suddenly broke out.
While this surprised Whitebeard and the others, they also formed a bolder guess.
Could it be that Yuichi temporarily developed a more powerful Kidō at a critical moment because he was facing danger?
If that was the case, then Yuichi was even more terrifying.
At such a critical juncture, to suddenly come up with such a powerful move...
Moreover, the burst of movement just now was extremely astonishing; this move was definitely not small.
Madara would likely be skinned alive if not killed outright.
The Black Coffin remained motionless. At this moment, Marco and the lieutenants of the Four Emperors couldn't help but get nervous.
They didn't know if they were worried that this blow would kill Madara, or if they were worried that this blow wouldn't be able to kill Madara!
They may have hoped that this blow would end Madara, a formidable foe.
But perhaps they didn't want this blow to end him.
The reason for hoping it would take down Madara was Yuichi, and the Kidō used by him.
It had given them too much shock from start to finish. Such tricks belonged to the Pirate World.
It was a technique developed by Yuichi. This was not a Devil Fruit ability; in their view, this ability was a technique released by Haki.
The stronger the Kidō's power, the stronger they would be if they could learn how to use it in the future.
The reason why they didn't want this trick to defeat Madara was also very simple.
If a Kidō was just one hit away from killing an enemy that the Four Emperors couldn't kill in a short time...
Then Yuichi, as the one who created the Kidō, with a Kidō in one hand and a powerful sword in the other, plus his Haki...
This person would have jumped to the very top of the Pirate World.
He was obviously just a newly promoted Emperor of the Sea, so was he supposed to be above the other Four Emperors?
This was not the result they wanted to see.
This tangled emotion rose in the hearts of these people.
Not only Marco and the lieutenants, but even Whitebeard and the others felt such anxiety.
The time of more than ten seconds seemed very slow at this moment.
It felt like ten minutes had passed.
.....
Click!
A crack appeared in the Black Coffin. When the first crack appeared, a shattering sound rang out.
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink.
Then, like a flash flood, the cracks spread.
In a deafening roar, the Black Coffin exploded completely.
Susanoo's huge body emerged.
The moment Susanoo appeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed at the same time.
In the end, it still failed to kill Madara Uchiha.
They couldn't say they were happy, but they were also a little disappointed.
Human nature is so complicated.
But Yuichi was probably the only one smiling.
Because!
Madara used Susanoo to block the blow.
Which meant... the duel... was won by Yuichi.
Physical combat was a tie.
The battle between Susanoo and the Over Soul: Spirit of Fire also ended in an interruption because it took too long to decide the winner.
Only in the final contest between Kidō and ninjutsu did Yuichi and Madara determine a winner and loser.
Yuichi didn't retreat a single step, but Madara had no choice but to use Susanoo's defense.
At the same time, Madara's body was full of scars now. Although none of these could kill Madara, they could be regarded as severe wounds!
If Madara had used Susanoo to defend against Yuichi's Hadō in the first place, he wouldn't have taken such damage.
It was a pity that Madara probably still wanted to struggle at that time, and he also underestimated the power of Hadō #90.
Although Madara was covered in blood, with the blessing of Hashirama cells, Madara's self-healing speed was not slow, but it wasn't instant either.
He didn't have the First Hokage's massive Chakra reserves now.
The Wood Style lacked the support of Sage Chakra, so the self-healing ability was not that monstrous.
Madara was pale, looking down at Yuichi with lowered eyes.
At this time, everyone in the Ninja World looked at Madara, who was in an extremely weak state, and their hearts trembled slightly.
In the next second, Madara said slowly, "This time... I lost!"
He admitted it!
Madara admitted it himself!
He actually conceded defeat.
All the ninjas watched with their mouths open. This was a legendary ninja from the same era as the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
He... lost!
A smile appeared on Madara's pale face. "But... this time was a duel. Next time, we will be in a battle of life and death! This time I lost, but if we meet next time, there will be no rules between us! I will use my strongest force to directly take your life!"
Hearing this, Yuichi felt a little sympathetic towards Madara.
"I look forward to the next fight! Madara!"
After getting Yuichi's answer, Madara laughed. Susanoo spread its wings and rushed to the clouds in an instant, disappearing from Enies Lobby.
Yuichi didn't pursue. Instead, he took two steps back silently, suddenly sat down on the ground, and panted softly.
