This one slash directly cut open the rolling lava from the middle, which gurgled with scorching hot bubbles, forcefully carving a path.
Then, Kusuo stepped onto the cooled and solidified lava-turned-rock, his hand emotionlessly swinging his blade towards the Iwagakure troops.
"This... this."
"How is that possible? My Earth Flow River was cut open by a single slash?"
At this moment, watching the scene before them, the jonin who had jointly cast the Earth Style: Earth Flow River technique felt their hearts tremble, their faces filled with disbelief.
This one slash... its power was too great. A devastating strike, it had broken open their swampy ground as if parting the sea. It should be known that the mud of a swamp was many times stickier than ordinary soil. Even the reanimated First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, when faced with the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's use of this technique, could not have dealt with it so lightly.
But Kusuo... it was just one slash. One slash... was霸道无匹 (bàdào wúpǐ) - incomparably domineering. It had cut open the entire swamp. And he was still charging at them with his sword.
"Run!"
These jonin and the Lava Style Kekkei Genkai user made a split-second decision and wanted to flee. Faced with such a monster, the previous round of exchanges had already exhausted all their courage. Now, they didn't have a single thought of fighting. They slammed their hands on the ground, only wanting to escape with their lives.
The next second, Schlick!
The crisp sound of a sword. A sharp, ice-cold sword light, carrying clear splashes of water, slashed towards their necks. A cool feeling washed over them.
They froze. Everyone froze. Stunned for a few seconds, these jonin from the Hidden Stone Village subconsciously touched the cool spots on their necks, only to pull back a hand full of blood.
Their faces were filled with horror and disbelief.
So fast... such a fast sword.
Until their heads fell, they hadn't even seen clearly how Kusuo had swung his sword to decapitate them. That speed... was so fast it was despairing and terrifying.
The only remaining Kekkei Genkai ninja was even more panicked, his face drained of all color. He had even used the Hidden Stone's secret technique to drill deep underground. At the same time, he had spewed a large amount of scorching hot lava at the entrance, wanting to block Kusuo's steps.
Unfortunately, these little tricks, in Kusuo's eyes, were nothing more than child's play.
He stomped his foot hard. An astonishing aura exploded. Then, Kusuo raised his sword and slashed forward with all his might.
SWISH!
A vertical sword aura. It carried a wave of water and cut through all the ground in front of him. Under the panicked eyes of that Kekkei Genkai ninja, one slash severed his body. The corpse, cut in two, was casually thrown on the ground, gurgling with blood like a fountain.
"You really run fast."
After finishing off these jonin and Kekkei Genkai ninja, Kusuo turned his head and found that the other ninja had all run away very quickly. While he had been killing their teammates, they had almost disappeared from his field of vision.
Shaking his head, "Do you really think you can run away like this?"
Kusuo's breathing suddenly changed, from the agility of a flowing stream to the majesty of a great sun. The blade of his sword turned black. He raised his sword.
He softly spoke, "Sun Breathing, Tenth Form! Beneficent Radiance!"
In an instant, a sky-cleaving sword aura carried a brilliant sword might. Like a great sun shining upon the world, wrapped in a sharp and fierce sword pressure, wreathed in a spinning fire dragon and solar flame, it roared forth.
One slash, enough to cleave the sky. It was as if the heavens and the earth changed color, even more dazzling than broad daylight.
"Not good!" The chunin of the Hidden Stone Village, who were in the middle of fleeing, sensed the astonishing sword aura behind them and were greatly shocked. They hurriedly turned around and formed hand seals.
"Earth Style! Earth-Style Wall!"
"Earth Style! Super Hardening Technique!"
"Earth Style! Rising Rock Technique!"
Several hundred chunin and genin simultaneously formed hand seals and cast a combination defensive ninjutsu. Stone pillars and earth walls rose from the ground, blocking their path. The chakra of so many people surged together, a violent and rampant blue pillar of chakra, frantically pouring into these techniques.
RUMBLE!
The earth wall and stone pillars, enhanced by the Super Hardening Technique, began to show mottled cracks on their surfaces, and fragments began to fall off. But it seemed as if they had blocked it.
Hundreds of people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This guy... was too monstrous. Just defending against his attack required them to use all their strength to deal with it. "I hope the four captains from the Land of Earth can break free from the battlefield soon and lead us to rendezvous and escape."
At this point, they no longer dared to hope for victory on the battlefield. To be able to escape safely and survive would already be the greatest victory.
But Kusuo had a faint嘲 (cháo) - mocking - smile on his lips. You can block my first sword aura. But what about the second, the third, or even the fourth and fifth? At that time, what will you do?
POW!
His wrist suddenly exerted force. Three consecutive slashes, no weaker than the one he had just unleashed, were swung out one after another. One slash after another, they struck the defense that the Hidden Stone Village thought was seamless.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Instantly, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across the entire earth wall, which then let out a creaking sound as if it couldn't bear the load. The sword aura slashed against the earth wall. Even the entire land was violently cracking. Those who were unstable on their feet were swaying left and right.
Kusuo's powerful slashes chopped at the Earth-Flow Wall and Rising Rock Pillars that the Iwa ninja were continuously supplying chakra to. Unlike before, when they were fighting face-to-face, this was from several hundred meters away, slashing out countless sword auras that streaked across the distance to strike them.
Every time the sword aura bombarded the earth wall, it would bring a violent tremor to the Iwa ninja who had their hands on the ground. This tremor came wave after wave, and had long since shaken them to the point of internal bleeding. Scarlet blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and many of them were directly knocked unconscious by the shock.
Several hundred chunin were gradually reduced to two or three hundred, then to one or two hundred, then to dozens. And now, only a dozen or so remained. They were holding on with their last breath, barely maintaining the integrity of the earth wall. On the ground lay the dense mass of their comrades and teammates who had been shaken to death.
In the end, they were so numb they didn't even know how many sword auras had come slashing at them, breaking through their barrier and brazenly cutting into their bodies. The sharp, cold cutting attribute made their bodies suddenly ache. But in their hearts, it was as if they had been completely liberated. Before they died, they were even smiling as they coughed up blood clots.
Finally... I can die. I don't have to face that monster's monstrous sword aura anymore...
And with that, since Kusuo's arrival, aside from the four elite jonin from the Hidden Stone Village who were still entangled with Guy, the entire Iwa allied force was annihilated. And they were a small half of the entire Hidden Stone Village's active forces. Besides Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and the others, basically everyone who had come to the Land of Demons had fallen in battle.
And just then, Shion happened to arrive late with her army of thousands of terracotta warriors. The earth trembled again from their arrival. The entire battlefield, it seemed, had not stopped trembling since the fighting began.
