The Uchiha Itachi transformed by Ling'er shook her head, sighing inwardly at Wuchen's foolishness. Light speed was incredibly fast, but it also had a well-known drawback: light travels in a straight line and cannot suddenly turn while moving.
Her gaze hardened, a cold intensity rising in her deep eyes. "Uchiha Itachi" leaped forward, and even without the Glint-Glint Fruit's power, even without being a 'light human,' her speed was in no way inferior to Wuchen's.
"This bastard... Ling'er must be using power beyond Uchiha Itachi's own!"
Seeing Ling'er's speed matched his own, Wuchen grumbled discontentedly. At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he stopped moving. A wicked, cold smile appeared on his handsome face, as a golden glow solidified around his lower leg.
"Light Speed Kick!"
"Boom!"
A straight beam of light kicked out from his powerful lower leg, directly striking "Uchiha Itachi," instantly triggering a violent explosion.
"Bang!"
Just then, an exceptionally jarring sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by the crackling of wood being ignited. Wuchen looked closely, seeing wood consumed by the flames of the explosion.
"Damn it, was that a Substitution Jutsu?!"
At the sight, goosebumps rose all over Wuchen's body, his pupils spun violently, and the three deep-red tomoe began to rotate, capturing every subtle movement and minute change in his surroundings.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Several streaks of black cold light assailed him head-on, their sharp whistling immediately drawing Wuchen's attention. With his Three Tomoe Sharingan rotating, he clearly saw the incoming black kunai, and a cold sneer played on his lips.
"Hmph, mere child's play."
His Three Tomoe Sharingan fixated on the kunai's trajectory, and his small, youthful hand forcefully flung out several dark blurs. Several kunai shot from Wuchen's hand.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The air exploded, dazzling sparks suddenly flying, followed by the grating clash of steel spreading outwards. Looking directly, one could see twisted, misshapen kunai and various shuriken.
"You think these things can hurt me? Are you dreaming, Ling'er!"
"Is that so... then what about this...?"
Ignoring Wuchen's disdain, "Uchiha Itachi" rapidly lunged forward. At the same time, her pupils changed, the three tomoe violently twisting and transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Her gaze locked tightly on Wuchen, "Uchiha Itachi's" vision suddenly shifted. Within the Mangekyo, an irregular black halo could vaguely be seen, its dark color like an uneven flame, carrying the power to incinerate everything.
"Could it be... Ling'er, you're actually serious!"
Feeling his body suddenly locked down by something, the scorching flames made his soul tremble immensely. His mouth twitched violently, and Wuchen cursed angrily, "That's Amaterasu! It's not ordinary fire! Do you want to kill me?!"
"I know it's Amaterasu."
Ling'er, in her Uchiha Itachi form, said calmly, then added, "But... I just want you to experience its power firsthand."
Her pupils suddenly widened, and a large mass of black flames shot from her eyes.
"Amaterasu!"
"There's a limit to getting carried away! Don't underestimate people!"
Roaring, Wuchen's pupils widened. A large amount of high-density Chakra surged from his body, rapidly contracting and condensing into an impenetrable, solid armor. The moment Amaterasu touched his body, it perfectly defended against its impact.
Wuchen's entire body was engulfed in Amaterasu, yet his core remained perfectly unharmed. Amaterasu merely burned and consumed his Chakra, while Wuchen himself remained calm and composed.
"Amaterasu is hailed as the strongest physical attack, but there are many ways to defend against it. Even though I haven't yet mastered the Glint-Glint Fruit's Elemental Form, I can still defend against Amaterasu!"
He effortlessly shook off the black, ghostly flames burning on his body, speaking loudly and clearly to "Uchiha Itachi." His voice was like rolling thunder, resonant and powerful.
"It's my turn!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Wuchen quickly formed hand signs, his cheeks suddenly puffed out, then he forcefully blew out.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A massive wave of flames pressed forward, roaring like a colossal, overwhelming tide. The scene was magnificent, and its power and scope were far greater than the "Great Fireball Technique."
"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
An equally vast surge of water spewed from "Uchiha Itachi's" mouth, its scale no weaker than Wuchen's Great Fire Annihilation, meeting the surging flames head-on.
The two opposing, clashing elements instantly created countless clouds of steam.
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of the steam that nearly obscured the sky, Wuchen charged forward again. Even though it had the suspicion of a sneak attack, the Glint-Glint Fruit's ability always caused his entire body to glow when activated, and that dazzling golden light easily betrayed his presence.
A straight beam of light, like a divine rainbow, pierced through the steam.
"Sword of Heavenly Clouds!!!"
A sword of light converged in his hand. The moment he closed in on "Uchiha Itachi," the long sword swept horizontally, its momentum like a ferocious beast escaping its cage, utterly savage.
"Clang!"
Wuchen's hand vibrated numbly, and he paused slightly. The immense rebound force left him momentarily stunned, as if he had struck an extraordinarily hard object like meteoric iron. He subconsciously looked towards Ling'er.
In that split second, a terrifying surge of Chakra suddenly erupted from "Uchiha Itachi's" body, a deep-red aura tightly enveloping her. The oppressive, malevolent Chakra actually solidified, forming a skeletal framework similar to a human body!
It effortlessly parried Wuchen's sword strike.
"This is..."
Quickly retreating a distance, his Three Tomoe Sharingan stared intently at the malevolent Chakra. The fiery red Chakra rapidly contracted and condensed, protecting "Uchiha Itachi" layer by layer.
The ribs were clearly visible; it was the Mangekyo Sharingan's strongest ultimate technique—Susanoo!
"Aren't you ashamed?! You're using such a shameless ninjutsu!"
Seeing Susanoo solidify into an absolute defense, Wuchen roared in exasperation. Susanoo was thick-skinned and tough. He wasn't a power-type fighter like Senju Hashirama, who could fight Susanoo with casual ease, as if it were eating and drinking.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer difference in height alone was insurmountable!
