Witnessing the Hie Ninjas deploy their formations, Indra's expression did not change in the slightest.
He unhurriedly picked up the damaged Invisibility Haori and tossed it to the Tang Sect group blocked by the white sea of fire.
"Keep these things safe for me temporarily."
Before Indra's voice finished fading, Makino Ittosai, Aoyama Yohei, and Eita Nikaido drew their blades and charged to kill, slashing from three different directions.
The snake-taming beastmaster Kimura Okataro, manipulating a pack of snakes known as the Black Dragon Horde, also lunged at Indra from all directions, blocking his retreat.
Indra stomped one foot onto the ground, and a brutal force erupted instantly.
Boom!!
The earth instantly caved in and shattered, and the venting Qi surged like wild waves, blasting away all the surrounding black snakes.
The stones flying out shot with pinpoint accuracy at the three swordsmen.
Makino Ittosai and Eita Nikaido neither dodged nor evaded, letting clusters of blood blossoms burst across their bodies.
Aoyama Yohei panicked, hastily waving his blade to parry.
After a flurry of flustered movements, he had already fallen behind the attacking formation.
Standing in place, Aoyama Yohei could only watch helplessly as Indra reached out with both palms and effortlessly pinched the blades.
Makino Ittosai's eyes lit up, and True Qi within his body poured into the blade.
The edged weapon in his hand was called the Phantom Sword, and its blade could turn into a fluid, producing the effect of a soft whip that caught enemies off guard.
In an instant, the Phantom Sword in his hand shattered, transforming into countless tiny blades that slashed toward Indra's neck!
Hum!!!
Formless psychokinesis gushed out, firmly locking onto those tiny blades.
Seeing Makino Ittosai's attack blocked, Shobei Wakasa's expression did not show disappointment; instead, it revealed a hint of joy.
Ha, Aoyama Yohei's performance could be said to be entirely within his expectations!
"It's far from over, you damned monster."
"Shimabara's Grudge!"
Amakusa Unsai, dressed entirely as a ninja, also seized the opportunity to strike.
Grisly fire skeletons flew out from his body, converging on Indra to form an undead binding that forcefully tethered him in place.
"Dual Force!"
Shobei Wakasa seized the moment to lunge forward, his upper body instantly vanishing into thin air.
The next instant, his upper body poked out from Eita Nikaido's chest, fiercely thrusting the sharp blade in his hand!
Clang!
The moment the blade collided with the psychokinesis barrier, it emitted a crisp, low chime.
Veins bulged on Shobei Wakasa's face as he desperately pushed the blade inward, ultimately piercing completely through Indra's body!
Success!
Seeing the blade completely submerged, Shobei Wakasa's smile hadn't even fully bloomed before it froze on his face.
What was going on? There was completely no sensation of piercing a solid object, as if... he had stabbed into a mass of air.
Shobei Wakasa raised his head and witnessed with his own eyes the Phantom Sword's tiny blades passing straight through Indra's head.
Where the blades swept, a white cloud of Qi flowed out.
But the next second, the white Qi cloud converged, re-forming Indra's body.
"Great teamwork, but sadly, that's all."
Indra, who had actively withdrawn the psychokinesis barrier, had golden flames burning in his eyes.
Screech--!!!
A dazzling laser beam burst forth, instantly blasting Shobei Wakasa's torso to pieces.
The next moment, the heavily injured Shobei Wakasa, along with Eita Nikaido, vanished and drilled out from behind Aoyama Yohei a short distance away.
Indra ignored them, his gaze sweeping straight across.
Amidst Makino Ittosai's aggrieved and despairing eyes, his head was instantly blasted apart by a shot.
Followed closely by Amakusa Unsai, the snake-handling Kimura Okataro, and Aoyama Yohei, who stood stupidly in place.
Thud!
When Aoyama Yohei's upper body fell in front of Shobei Wakasa, he smiled with a sense of release.
To actually be able to turn his entire body into Qi and evade any physical attack.
That's way too cheap!
If you'd just said so earlier, I would have just lain down and let you kill me!
Looking at Indra stepping through the air, Shobei Wakasa finally understood that from the very beginning, his side had been toyed with; they had no hope of winning whatsoever.
"I'm heading down first, Eita..."
Shobei Wakasa quietly closed his eyes, completely cutting off his breath.
Eita Nikaido, crawling up from the ground, had eyes written full of unwillingness.
"I don't want to go down with you; I'm not going to die!!"
Eita Nikaido's True Qi surged throughout his body, and he gripped the Demon Blade Hirumaru to stab the ground.
The tyrannical force spread outward along the earth, stabbing toward the approaching Indra like tentacles.
"Our Lü Family's Ruyi Force!?"
Lü Ci, watching this scene from afar, instantly flew into a rage.
The characteristic of the Demon Blade Hirumaru was that it would devour the Qi of its slain targets, thereby utilizing the abilities of the original owners.
Clearly, this skill of the Ruyi Force had been plundered from his murdered older brother!
Under everyone's gaze, the Ruyi Force passed straight through Indra's body, still failing to harm him in the slightest.
"Die! Die!!"
Eita Nikaido waved the demon blade like a madman, but the result still didn't change at all.
"This is... the Three One Sect's Reverse Birth Triple Layer."
Tang Bingwen gazed blankly at this shocking scene, unable to help feeling shocked by the terrifying nature of the Three One Sect's ultimate technique.
Indra, flying through the air and freely condensing or dispersing his form, was no different from an immortal of legend!
Indra, ignoring all of Eita Nikaido's attacks, shifted his thoughts slightly, and the chakra short sword suspended behind his back instantly left its sheath.
"Senior Indra, I beg you to leave him to me; I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands!!"
"This is my only wish, and I, Lü Ci, will definitely repay you in the future!"
Lü Ci dropped to his knees with a thud, making a plea to Indra with the utmost humility.
The edge of the chakra short sword shifted, severing Eita Nikaido's arms in an instant.
Grabbing him by the head with one hand, Indra gave a gentle flick and tossed him over.
"I'll leave the head to you; remember what you said."
Indra replied casually, nor did he care who Eita Nikaido died at the hands of.
Anyway, the Demon Blade Hirumaru in his hands, along with the edged weapon Phantom Sword and the Invisibility Haori, were all his things now.
"Many thanks! I, Lü Ci, will definitely remember today's promise!"
Lü Ci excitedly caught Eita Nikaido, his eyes staring at him with fierce hostility.
"Hehe~ I won't let you die too painlessly!"
Lü Ci pressed both hands onto Eita Nikaido's arms, helping him stop the spurting blood.
Eita Nikaido, having lost the Demon Blade Hirumaru, could only watch helplessly as Lü Ci beat him unconscious with a ferocious grin.
Lü Ci prepared to take Eita Nikaido back to the Lü Family to turn him into a human torso stump and torture him properly.
At this moment, seeing Indra directly grasp the Demon Blade Hirumaru, Tang Bingwen still nervously warned, "This is a demon blade that deludes the mind; it's said to control the holder's thoughts, making them bloodthirsty and murderous!"
"Oh~ I think it's not bad."
Indra tightly gripped the hilt, staring at the restless Demon Blade Hirumaru.
The evil spirit residing within emitted malevolent power, attempting to erode Indra's sanity.
Facing Indra, whose cultivation had greatly increased upon stepping into the Reverse Birth Triple Layer, the resident spirit within the demon blade was clearly not up to par.
However, if this went on for a long time, his temperament would inevitably be affected as well.
"Purely bloodthirsty emotions are definitely not the intense emotional fluctuations needed by the Sharingan."
After feeling it, Indra revealed a disgusted expression.
Indra grabbed the Sheep Talisman and lightly flicked the blade body.
Hum--!
Amidst a low-pitched blade chime, the evil spirit residing in the Demon Blade Hirumaru was flicked out.
The swordsmith evil spirit that fell to the ground looked dazedly at Indra standing before him.
What was going on?
Wasn't he inside the Demon Blade Hirumaru?
Before the swordsmith evil spirit could react, Indra controlled his sword with Qi, piercing straight through its spiritual body with a single stroke.
The swordsmith evil spirit roared in a broken defense, "It shouldn't be like this! You're supposed to match wits with me using consciousness; winning makes you my master, and losing makes you my puppet!"
"Noisy thing, why on earth should I play this game with you."
Indra looked disdainfully at the swordsmith evil spirit, pressed the Sheep Talisman onto the chakra short sword, swung his blade once more, and completely killed it.
The originally restless Demon Blade Hirumaru had instantly turned into a dead object, entirely at Indra's command.
