We Came Too Early

But strangely, as long as I ignited my flames, even if I stood still, Hashirama Senju couldn't do a thing to me, despite being able to reach more than ten kilometers with a wave of his hand.

But if Hashirama Senju didn't dodge my attacks from more than ten kilometers away, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand them!

He'd die on the spot!

However...

If I wanted to, I could also use Hashirama Senju's Wood Style to attack across a range of more than ten kilometers with a wave of my hand. All I'd have to do was set a huge fire. But I could already do that in the world of Demon Slayer.

The problem was that its lethality was pitifully low. It couldn't kill anything even a little bit tough.

Even a little supernatural power made it difficult for ordinary flames ignited by Dragon Fire to kill their targets.

Still, Li Ke knew it was because of the people Hashirama Senju had to fight.

Hashirama Senju's attack power was absurdly overpowered for his era, Madara Uchiha included. He didn't need to worry about techniques for single-target damage; he only needed to think about how to clear out the enemy troops.

After all, compared with their attack power, even with Chakra
