Uchiha Sasuke's Counterattack!

On the arena, the battle continued.

A Ruheng watched Sasuke charge at him once more, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes. "Brother Sasuke, why insist? You're very talented, but you're still no match for me right now."

"Cut the crap!"

Sasuke's roar exploded like thunder. He fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the black electricity in his palm suddenly surged, crackling as it tore through the air and radiated a heart-pounding pressure.

"There have never been the words 'admit defeat' in the Uchiha dictionary! Even if I have to give it everything I've got today, I will never take a single step back!"

The instant his words fell, Sasuke shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. Soul Power and black electricity intertwined around him, leaving a deep-blue afterimage in his wake.

"Yin Chidori!"

With Sasuke's low shout, the electricity in his palm condensed into a sharp spear aimed directly at A Ruheng's chest. He had poured more than half of his remaining Soul Power into this strike, attempting to break through the other man's Bloodline Power defense, as impregnable as a wall of bronze and iron.

Yet in the face of this seemingly unstoppable blow, A Ruheng remained as steady as a mountain.

The Innate Secret Method he cultivated was nearing completion. His body had been tempered by Bloodline Power, and its toughness had long surpassed that of ordinary battle armor, enough to rival a weakened Four-word Battle Armor.

He merely turned slightly aside, easily evading Sasuke's attack path, while extending his right hand to precisely seize Sasuke's wrist.

The black electricity exploded across A Ruheng's palm, but it left only a few faint scorch marks on the surface of his skin. It could not penetrate that thick Bloodline Power barrier
