Kaijin drawn from their sheaths, and trickles of blood flowed down their curved blades. The surrounding orcs were blocked by an invisible force.
"Hiss!"
Within Sōretsu's vision, pure white Chakra spread outwards, and the orcs it touched began to decay and melt, dissipating into the air. In the end, only a skeleton remained, still in an attacking posture.
However, due to the limitations of Sōretsu's strength, the range of this technique was only ten meters, and it only killed less than a hundred orcs.
The orcs felt no fear; they crushed the skeletons and continued their charge.
Takuden and the other two jumped back to Sōretsu's side. "There are still so many! What do we do?"
Even though Takuden had experienced countless battles, he felt a desire to retreat upon seeing this scene.
Kusa Sōretsu ignored them and charged towards the beastmen with Kaijin. At this moment, the blade in his hand was like a soft whip, but it was extremely sharp. Every time he swung it, a beastman was cut in half and then disintegrated by Nuclear Release Chakra Kaijin, leaving only a skeleton. A strange smell filled the air.
With the aid of the Sharingan, and amidst the orcs' siege, it seemed as if there was a circle around her, a circle that meant certain death for anyone who entered. Sōretsu's pure white haori remained unstained by blood, for this white haori, representing the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars, was her pride.
The orcs' Sage Transformation immortals accelerated, and their attacks became increasingly fierce. The flames on the ground disappeared as Sōretsu's attention was diverted. Takuden and his two companions were unable to withstand the onslaught and, while marveling at Sōretsu's strength, they had no choice but to lure away and kill a small group of them.
On the other hand, Sōretsu Sōretsu, with his special physique, uncontrollably absorbed a large amount of Natural Energy after killing the orcs, and faint signs of Sage Transformation appeared on his face.
Kaijin swinging his sword around once, Sōretsu noticed that his left fingernail had grown longer, and realized the problem: if the battle continued for a long time, he would also be corrupted by the Natural Energy, and his suppressed personality might explode at any time.
"It seems the only option is to lift the restrictions."
Just as Sōretsu placed his hand on his brow, preparing to lift the seal, he heard a whooshing sound coming from the distant sky and stopped.
Xia Tōshirō, Ujin, Kendon, who were originally on Golden Shovel Beach, flew over equipped with " Blue Bird Type Seven " and landed above Sōretsu.
Sōretsu finally smiled, "You guys are too slow."
What's wrong with these people?
"Hehehe, Sōretsu, these are the monsters Tōhachi was talking about? They're truly rare test subjects!"
"Hmph, those who have fallen into evil, shall be slain."
"Roar!"
Most of the beastmen's Natural Energy had reached its peak, their muscles bulging like balloons, as if about to explode, consumed by killing intent.
Some of the orcs who grew bat wings even flew directly into the sky, emitting strange cries.
"Yay!"
A wicked smile appeared on the Kendon, black, and eerie face. "Hehehe, so it was just enhanced; it's still just a beast after all."
Tōshirō showed no intention of drawing his sword, looking disgusted. "I'm not going. Kendon, if you're so interested, you go!"
Kendon looked excited, but showed no intention of making a move. "Oh dear, you know my two Poison Release. Once I use them, I'm done for. I want a few to take back for research."
"Tch, what a hassle. Ujin, you can go."
"Yes! Slaying demons is my duty!"
The Lord God: "Damn it, what are you pretending for! Aren't the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars all only thirteen or fourteen years old?!"
Ujin struck the Chakra Furnace on his chest, the jet-powered metal wings behind him retracted, and he began to fall.
"Boom!"
The Ujin was clad entirely in bamboo armor and wore a bamboo helmet, with only a narrow slit in front of his eyes. His size was comparable to that of Hongshi, and he landed directly in the most densely populated area of orcs, creating a large crater.
The flying pebbles struck the surrounding orcs, successfully drawing their attention as he drew his katana and unleashed black and red Chakra from his body.
"Move aside, Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Meow!"
Lord God: "(°ー°)???"
The ground cracked open, summoning a gigantic black-armored warrior made of earth and stone. He wore a red turban, was covered in heavy armor, and was bound to his back with huge black ropes. Although only his upper body was exposed, he was already five meters tall and held a large sword in his hand. He moved with the movements of the Ujin.
"Wah wah wah!" The orc kept tearing at the earth and stone warrior, but it didn't have much effect.
The Ujin raised his black katana high, and the air seemed to become damp and sticky. Black and red Chakra covered the blade, and the earth and stone samurai behind him also raised their great swords.
Seeing Ujin's move from the air, Tōshirō was startled. "Using this move right from the start! Ujin going all out!"
Kendon stared at the largest of the orcs. "Ah, have you forgotten that Ujin hates disgusting things the most?"
"Hey! Sōretsu, get out of the way! Ujin's about to use that move!"
At this moment, Sōretsu caught up in the killing frenzy. Upon hearing Tōshirō's words, he immediately stopped. Sure enough, he saw the giant earthen warrior facing Takuden and Shikin Shinma, who were still fiercely hacking and slashing in the distance. "If you two want to live, run!"
Having already witnessed Sōretsu's terrifying strength, the two now saw Sōretsu tense expression and felt the pressure emanating from the earthen warrior in the distance. They dared not linger in the fight and ran to the other side with Sōretsu.
"Roar!" As if by instinct, the largest orc leaped up, its bone spikes growing rapidly forward, stabbing towards the Ujin.
The eyes beneath the helmet of the Ujin glowed red, and his raised sword slashed down diagonally. " Nuclear Ninja Secret Sword - Hakoku!"
"Boom!"
All the orcs standing in front of the Ujin felt their bodies being violently compressed by the surrounding air, making it impossible for them to breathe. They could only see the space itself seemingly shaking, unable to escape.
The air was compressed to its limit, and as the blade slashed down, the entire Purple Gold Mountain trembled. The black and red pressure that erupted vanished into nothingness wherever it passed—orcs, trees, and even the ground itself.
As the smoke cleared, the vast plaza was reduced to half its original size by that single strike. Countless orcs had been wiped out, and even the berserk orcs were stunned for a moment by the shocking scene.
"All evil spirits and heretics will fall to my blade!"
Unexpectedly, the Ujin had no intention of stopping the attack. It leaped upwards, stood on the head of the earth and stone warrior, and brandished its katana, sweeping it towards the orcs behind it.
The earth and stone warriors cut through the beastmen like grass, their greatswords cleaving them in two, spraying out large amounts of black blood that stained the blades black.
From atop a distant treetop, Takuden witnessed this scene. "What... what kind of swordsmanship is this! It's terrifying!"
Takuden's former Kumogakure, was the most skilled in Lightning Release and Taijutsu swordsmanship. Although his own strength was not as good as that of a first-rate master, he had seen many. However, he had never heard of a technique like Ujin, which combined Earth Release and swordsmanship.
Tōshirō, hovering in the air, clutched his head. "Oh dear, the Ujin is like this again; they'll probably blast away all the purple gold ore in no time!"
Kendon pointed to a large orc that was frantically devouring the corpses of its own kind and laughed at Tōshirō, " Tōshirō, look over there, there's a special guy."
Tōshirō then realized that while the beastmen were fighting, one beastman was not participating; instead, he was tearing apart and devouring his own kind.
This orc was entirely blood red, completely different from the orcs around him, and had more human-like features. His hands were not much different from the others, but he had eight large bone spikes on his back, red hair, and black eyes with a clear expression, as if he possessed wisdom.
"Roar!"
Seemingly sensing the Kendon gaze, it raised its head, and Lightning Release Chakra appeared on its eight bone spurs. It let out a beastly roar, its long red hair stood on end, and its hands began to Hand Seals. The Lightning Release Chakra on the bone spurs behind it transformed into sharp spikes and shot towards it.
Kendon's strength was actually quite formidable, but he preferred research. He easily dodged the lightning spikes and his body vanished in a puff of purple smoke.
When it reappeared, it was already behind the red-haired orc, exhaling purple smoke that enveloped him. "Hehehe, you can actually use Ninjutsu! Poison Release: Paralyzing Bone Fubuki. Be my test subject... huh?"
But to Kendon's surprise, his poison mist had no effect. The red-haired orc turned around, opened his blood-red mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit Kendon's shoulder.
Despite being bitten on the shoulder, Kendon remained unfazed, instead revealing an evil grin as he scratched his head with his left hand. "Oh dear, this is getting a little troublesome."
