Rasa's eyes widened, his pupils contracting. He remained in the motion of thrusting towards Haruki.
A primal fear, centered around Haruki, instantly swept across the entire battlefield.
The Sunagakure ninjas felt as if their hearts were clutched by an invisible giant hand, their blood seemed to freeze in their veins. Countless gazes of utter horror shot out from among the Sunagakure ninjas.
Too familiar!
The familiar purple vortex!
Are there even more monsters?
Everyone's eyes uniformly focused on the purple vortex that had appeared out of thin air.
An ominous aura almost enveloped the entire battlefield. In this suffocating silence, a figure stepped out of the deep purple vortex.
Black markings covered a muscular body, a tall and robust figure was fully exposed to everyone's eyes. He was bare-chested, covered in explosive muscles. His skin presented an inhuman paleness and four arms hung naturally.
On his face, two distinctly different countenances eerily merged together. One face was indifferent, its lips slightly downturned, carrying a chill that made one's heart shiver. The other face was twisted into a ferocious grin, revealing stark white, sharp teeth.
Four crimson pupils slowly rotated, his gaze sweeping over the humans stiffened like ants around him, his eyes devoid of emotion, only scrutiny and a hint of playfulness.
The King of Curses, Sukuna, descended in his peak form.
Rasa's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needlepoints, he stared intently at Sukuna.
An unprecedented chill rapidly climbed up Rasa's and everyone present's spines, instantly freezing their limbs.
What is that?
This pure, extreme malice was very similar to a Tailed Beast, yet clearly different from a Tailed Beast. It was far beyond anything Rasa knew.
Is this Haruki's last trump card?
Where did he summon such a thing from?
Where did these things come from?
The Sunagakure ninjas, just by encountering Sukuna's crimson gaze, felt their minds go blank, their hands and feet turn cold, even their breathing became incredibly difficult, and their hands holding kunai trembled uncontrollably.
The monster before them is stronger than any monster on the battlefield. This was a fact that everyone could perceive.
With Sukuna's appearance, Haruki was relieved. He believed in Sukuna's strength. Moreover, Sukuna now possessed the combat power of his peak period.
Rasa's shock lasted only an instant. As an elite of Sunagakure , his instincts, honed countless times on the brink of life and death, immediately overcame his fear.
This was his only chance to eliminate Haruki, this huge threat. No matter what the monster in front of him is, he has to eradicate Haruki. That way, Haruki will disappear from the world along with these monsters.
Killing intent flashed in Rasa's eyes. All his shock, fear, doubt, apprehension…
All emotions transformed into pure killing intent.
[Ding!]

The gold dust spiral spear in Rasa's hand once again thrust towards Haruki. The spearhead was slender and sharp, glinting coldly, capable of piercing through anything.
"Die!"
Rasa roared, clutching the spear in his hand, and thrust it with all his might towards Haruki.
The air was extremely compressed by the spear, forming a visible conical shockwave. The spearhead pointed directly at Haruki's heart.
However, just as the spearhead was less than one centimeter from Haruki's heart, the crimson pupils on Sukuna's face slightly rotated, his gaze lightly falling upon the imposing golden sand spear.
He casually raised one hand. No hand signs, no charging, not even a trace of Chakra fluctuation was leaked.
No one knew how he did it, only seeing that seemingly indestructible gold dust spear suddenly break into three sections. It wasn't smashed by immense force, but as if instantly cut by three invisible, sharp blades.
The spearhead and shaft separated smoothly, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the moonlight, without a single burr.
The severed golden spear instantly lost all its power, and with a thud, it weakly plunged into the sand in front of Haruki.
After landing in the sand, the spear disintegrated with a whoosh, reverting to countless grains of gold dust, mixing with the yellow sand.
The killing intent on Rasa's face froze. He stared intently at Sukuna, his mind blank.
What happened?
How could his gold dust spear be cut so easily?
How could it be?!
"It's these people again…"
Sukuna's crimson pupils rotated, his gaze precisely sweeping over the Sunagakure ninjas who were almost petrified by fear on the battlefield.
Last time he appeared, he killed these people too, right?
Then this time, he might as well kill them all together.
The Sunagakure ninjas' bodies uncontrollably trembled violently, their teeth chattering, barely able to hold their weapons.

Buzz—
A strange, faint hum, as if space was being cut, sounded in the ears of the Sunagakure ninjas. Silent slashes appeared out of thin air, enveloping them.
The Sunagakure ninjas didn't even know that death had already descended upon them. Lines of blood appeared on their faces. Their expressions were bewildered. They had no idea what was happening.
Pfft—
Pfft—
Pfft—
A dense, scalp-splitting sound of cutting echoed uniformly across the battlefield.
Countless blood arrows shot out like fountains from the stiff bodies of the Sunagakure ninjas.
Faces with bewildered expressions were vertically cut into three parts. Organs mixed with hot blood spilled out, the sand instantly soaked into a dark red swamp.
A thick, almost suffocating smell of blood, too concentrated to dissipate, swept across the entire battlefield.
Hundreds of Sunagakure ninjas, in an instant, silently turned into a pile of flesh on the ground.
The battlefield was silent.
Rasa was the only survivor among the Sunagakure ninjas.

Rasa's eyes were bloodshot.
His subordinates…
His comrades…
The ninjas of Sunagakure …
In this instant…
Blood vessels instantly spread in his eyes. He stared intently at Haruki and Sukuna.
