Just as Ryun was about to use Dragon Claw Hand to tear out Zabuza Momochi's throat, a sudden flash of lightning in the sky instantly caught his attention.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Punishment."
A powerful bolt of thunder crashed down from above Ryun's head. Yet, despite his extremely fast Body Flicker technique, he unexpectedly did not attempt to dodge.
In that critical moment, Ryun raised the lightning-charged long sword in his hand, and his body suddenly became covered in dense, bright blue lightning.
The lightning, which was about to strike the ground, was abruptly pulled by some force, changing direction and striking Kuriarare Kushimaru, who was not far away and preparing to launch a sneak attack!
This last-second lightning redirection within the thick fog went unnoticed by Raiga Kurosuki. However, everyone heard a familiar scream...
Ryun did not even glance at Kuriarare Kushimaru. As his clawed hand exerted force, a large hole was instantly torn out of Zabuza Momochi's throat.
This was the second member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to fall. Zabuza Momochi still couldn't last more than a few moves against Ryun.
Most of these individuals suffered from the common weakness among ordinary ninja: 'high attack, low defense'. Once a powerhouse like Ryun found an opening and struck a vital point, the battle would be decided in an instant!
With a clattering sound, the Decapitation Sword in Zabuza Momochi's hand fell directly to the ground.
Ryun only glanced at it briefly but showed no intention of picking it up. In the next moment, he swiftly closed in on the injured Kuriarare Kushimaru nearby, aiming to seize the opportunity to kill him.
However, before he could get close, an axe came flying towards his face, colliding squarely with the long sword in his hand.
"Die!"
Tōnojīn shouted loudly. With one hand holding the axe to contend against Ryun's strength, his other hand wielded a large hammer that he slammed fiercely onto the back of the axe.
Clang!!!
A sharp, piercing metallic ring sounded. The ornate and sturdy chakra long sword in the youth's hand was instantly cleaved into two pieces by the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari!
Ryun's right eye pupil contracted slightly. He had not expected his chakra blade, infused with lightning, to be broken so cleanly. The capability of the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari was somewhat beyond his anticipation.
But the situation left no room for surprise. Facing the directly chopping axe blade (the Blunt Sword), Ryun rapidly retreated while simultaneously delivering a palm strike to the axe body.
The terrifying strange force instantly sent the heavy axe flying far away. Tōnojīn himself was thrown off balance by that brutish, monstrous strength.
Just as he knocked away the Blunt Sword, a figure descended from above in the next instant. A strange, scroll-like weapon in hand came chopping down towards Ryun's head.
The newcomer was Fuguki Suikazan. His mental resilience was considerably stronger than that of the master of the Twin Swords: Hiramekarei. That man had been laid out on the ground after eating one of Ryun's ocular techniques, but this Fuguki Suikazan was gradually recovering.
Ryun did not dare to block that strange scroll weapon barehanded, as even he sensed danger from it. So, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique, choosing to avoid its direct force.
The Explosion Sword: Kabutowari missed its strike, hitting the ground and causing a violent explosion.
Who knows how many explosive tags were sealed inside that thing. Once the seal is released and it hits someone, the outcome is complete annihilation, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Boom!!!
The ground was blown into a large crater, causing the entire estate to shake violently.
Just as the fighting was intense on the outer perimeter of the estate, a naked, obese figure came running out from inside the manor at this moment. As soon as he emerged, he started cursing indiscriminately.
"You bunch of useless trash, can't even handle one intruder? The commotion is getting bigger and bigger. Are you trying to ruin this young master's fun? You damn bastards are going to scare me soft!"
"Young Master, the intruder is not simple. Please go back inside. It's too dangerous out here!" Tōnojīn hurriedly turned his head to advise.
This son of the Land of Water's Daimyo not only looked like a pig but also seemed to have a pig's brain. To come out naked at a time like this, shouting and cursing—was he afraid he wouldn't die fast enough?
Foreigners might not necessarily care about your status as the son of the Land of Water's Daimyo, especially when the opponent is a notorious ruthless individual in the ninja world!
"What kind of person can't even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen handle? Is it that skinny monkey over there? You can't even defeat someone like that? Weren't you boasting that the seven of you together could dominate the ninja world? Now, I've just left the capital, and you can't even quickly deal with a little brat like this?"
The fat man continued his profane rant as if no one else was around, completely ignoring Tōnojīn's advice.
To this fat man, so-called ninja were merely house slaves. In the Land of Water, he dared to curse anyone who displeased him, including the so-called Mizukage of Kirigakure!
Ryun coldly glanced at this fat pig. Because the other party's lack of clothing was an eyesore, Ryun had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation Technique!"
Ryun formed hand signs and boldly activated a powerful sage technique.
Sharp, hard earth spikes suddenly erupted in a dense series from the ground beneath the feet of Tōnojīn, Raiga Kurosuki, Fuguki Suikazan, and Kuriarare Kushimaru.
And it wasn't just these four; even the unconscious master of the Twin Swords: Hiramekarei had an earth spike emerge from beneath him, piercing through his chest.
The son of the Land of Water's Daimyo also could not escape calamity. Earth spikes emerged from under his feet as well. Ryun conveniently wiped out this reckless and foolish individual in one move...
He wouldn't care about the other party's status. That guy had too much nonsense to say.
The four remaining swordsmen were greatly startled by the sharp earth spikes suddenly emerging from the ground. They used every means possible to evade this dense offensive.
Tōnojīn, hindered by his cumbersome Blunt Sword, was slow and clumsy. After being impaled by one earth spike, he stopped moving. More spikes followed instantly, piercing him until he resembled a honeycomb.
Fuguki Suikazan, wielding the Explosion Sword: Kabutowari, continuously swung his scroll, causing a series of violent explosions in an attempt to destroy the sharp earth spikes constantly emerging from the ground.
He fought while retreating, appearing quite composed. However, when he backed close to a wall, a silent earth spike suddenly shot out from behind, piercing clean through him in an instant.
"Split up and run!"
Seeing his familiar companions successively die miserable deaths at the enemy's hands, and even the biological son of the Land of Water's Daimyo being casually killed, this insane youth instilled a strong fear in Kuriarare Kushimaru's heart. He shouted loudly and was the first to use the Body Flicker Technique, attempting to flee this terrifying place.
Raiga Kurosuki, after barely avoiding the sharp earth spikes, also felt the situation was hopeless. Without a second thought, he immediately turned and ran. He didn't even need Kuriarare Kushimaru's verbal reminder...
However, Ryun would not easily let them leave. These seven could potentially threaten Might Dai's safety in the future. Since he had made a move, he naturally wouldn't leave behind future troubles.
"Sage Art: Lightning Leopard Kill!"
Lightning flashed in Ryun's hand. In the next moment, as he swung his palm, a lightning leopard, faster than lightning itself, instantly pounced towards Kuriarare Kushimaru.
Kuriarare Kushimaru, who had just used the Body Flicker Technique to jump far away, thought he had luckily escaped this disaster. But before he could rejoice, a lightning leopard, arriving later but striking first, passed through his body in an instant and abruptly exploded!
This sixth swordsman met an end where not even his whole corpse remained. Raiga Kurosuki, who glanced back while fleeing upon seeing this scene, nearly had his soul scared out of him!
