37 The Hell Road

Ryu used Rankyaku, but this dark gold three-headed bat was very agile. It dodged Ryu's rankyaku easily.

"Bats aren't like other birds, they have a kind of keen ability that lets them easily grasp enemies' attacks, that's a special ability that not even spiritual force can influence. Unless the speed surpasses the limits of their reaction, it's very difficult to injure them."

"I will use a combination of Geppo and Soru"

Kamisori A combination of Geppo and Soru. Ryu used Soru in a zigzag motion in midair, allowing extremely fast movements in three dimensions.

"Eat this" then he used Rankyaku. His rankyaku hit the bat's middle head. But a few moments later,Right now was just when that dark gold three-headed bat was complacent, the middle head had also just grown back. Just then it saw Ryu shoot out from under the path, charging straight at it.

"What should I do? Amaterasu couldn't hit an agile opponent. Wait….. blood" Ryu smiled. His hand became black.

"Gosenmaigawara Seiken" he punched the bat hard.

The bat was fallen. Ryu used Kamisori to chase it. Ryu appeared on top of the blood pool.

Yarinami (Spear Wave"): A technique used on a body of water's surface. Ryu heaved a spear-shaped burst of blood. This blood spear pierced the bat.

Then Ryu controlled the blood pool to form a giant snake. This blood giant snake rushed toward the fallen bat and bound it. The bat couldn't move.

"Bye Bye" Ryu's eyes became Mangekyo Sharingan. From his left eye, a blood appeared.

"Amaterasu" then the black flame covered.

"Enton Kagutsuchi" From his right eye, a blood appeared. then Ryu controlled the black flame to enter the bat internal organ from the location where the blood spear pierced the bat. The bat was burned. After that, he resumed his journey.

Just as he walked, suddenly, there was a rustling sound further ahead. Ryu had already seen the enemy. That was a pair of fiery red eyes. Just ahead on the narrow road crawled a deep red creature.

He couldn't clearly see the size of its body, but he could discover through simple observation that it should be a snake. A snake with its enormous body twisted around the narrow road.

Its eyes weren't especially large, but for some reason, Ryu immediately felt that the luster those eyes held was even more terrifying than the dark golden three-headed bat king from before.

Serpent?

With a rustling sound, that dark red serpent began to slowly slither forward. Once it got closer, Tang San made an accurate estimate of it.

On this serpent's head and back were altogether nine protrusions, each bulge was like a scarlet mushroom, and there seemed to be something like blood flowing inside. This serpent's belly was especially enormous, swelling over the narrow road, and its length was at least ten meters.

As he saw the serpent, the monstrous snake had clearly also seen him. Its tongue slowly rose as it crawled on the narrow road, and its reddish-golden eyes immediately became bright like lanterns.

Guu——

When it was still twenty meters from Ryu, the monstrous serpent launched its attack. A line of fiery red light abruptly belched from its mouth, bringing an intensely stinking air as it extended towards him.

The fiery red light on the narrow road fluctuated violently, even to the extent that it caused cracking sounds of burning rock.

Even more terrifying was that this fiery red light still brought a faint red mist. There was no need to ask, this red mist inevitably contained powerful poison.

"Not Good"

"Susanoo". Then a 10 meters tall armored avatar covered Ryu. Ryu used Susanoo bow as a shield. The fiery red light hit the Susanoo's bow, but it didn't leave any scratch on Susanoo, this fiery red light became red mist.

Then Susanoo drew its bow, then Ryu used Amaterasu and Enton Kagutsuchi on the arrowhead. Susanoo released the string's bow. It fired Amaterasu arrow at rapid speeds.That giant snake no longer had any chance to dodge.

Chii

The arrow pierced its head. The black flame, Amaterasu started to cover its body. Then he picked up the snake's neidan. [1]

"Tang San needed this one" Ryu said.

Then he met the Asura statue. It attacked Ryu. But he easily defeated it with his Susanoo. Then a black light appeared and went to his body. Then a black portal appeared. He entered the portal and exited the Hell Road.
