Fierce Battle
"A clone, huh? What a troublesome crystal clone," Uzumaki Hane thought to himself.
Uzumaki Hane's expression remained unchanged. He then unleashed "Hell Hound," but his lava-transformed right arm reached out to grab Guren, attempting to pierce her chest.
Seeing this, Guren revealed a bloodthirsty and excited smile, and changed the direction of the knife in her hand, directly plunging it into Uzumaki Hane's chest.
Uzumaki Hane allowed the crystal knife to pierce his chest, his right hand moving with undiminished speed, viciously piercing through the Guren. With a few sharp cracks, the Guren transformed into shimmering crystal particles, dissipating into the air.
At the same time, the crystal knife stuck in Uzumaki Hane's chest was melted by the scalding magma.
Another Guren clone on the tree trunk let out a delicate shout and leaped down from the trunk. The crystal blade on her arm slashed down directly at her head, but Uzumaki Hane stretched out her right arm to block it above her head.
Using the force of the fall, the crystal blade struck Uzumaki Hane's arm as easily as cutting tofu. Uzumaki Hane's lava palm fell directly to the ground, and at the same time, with a crack, Guren's crystal blade shattered into countless crystal particles, dissipating into the air.
Taking advantage of his weakness, Uzumaki Hane's right hand was severed. Guren naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. She murmured, "Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Blade," and her hands were surrounded by sparkling crystal particles, forming a red crystal circle. Then, two blue crescent-shaped crystal blades appeared.
Guren's face was full of excitement as she brandished two crystal knives, sweeping them towards Uzumaki Hane. Judging from her stance, she definitely wanted to cut Uzumaki Hane into pieces, a fight to the death.
At this moment, a Magma Wall Uzumaki Hane in front of Uzumaki Yu, blocking Guren's path. Guren sneered a few times, and quickly swung her crystal swords, slicing the wall into several pieces with a few strikes. Suddenly, Guren's eyes narrowed, and through the gaps in the wall, she could see Uzumaki Hane's right hand slowly regenerating. By the time the Magma Wall collapsed to the ground, Uzumaki Hane's right hand had fully recovered.
Meanwhile, outside the barrier, Guren's face was grave. "The terrifying magma is impossible to approach, and it can even transform into a magma-like monster with rapid regeneration. It's truly a terrifying Kekkei Genkai. No wonder Lord Orochimaru was interested in his body. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely capture Uzumaki Hane."
Inside the barrier, Uzumaki Hane looked at Guren and unleashed his "Lava Super Heavy Fist," his right arm suddenly expanding to ten times its original size. He slammed his fist into the stunned Guren, Guren was startled. Hong Lian held two crystal knives horizontally in front of her chest, attempting to block Uzumaki Hane's attack. With a crack, the crystal knives shattered into countless crystal particles, dissipating into the air. Uzumaki Hane's molten right arm, however, continued its momentum, slamming heavily into Guren. Guren groaned as she was sent flying, crashing heavily into a large tree behind her. Several cracking sounds followed as Guren shattered into countless crystal particles, dissipating into the air.
Uzumaki Hane murmured, "Another clone?"
Suddenly, crystal pillars began to emerge from the ground, stretching straight towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane roared and slammed his right hand down. With a loud crack, the crystal beneath Uzumaki Hane feet shattered, and cracks began to appear in the crystal in front of him.
Uzumaki Hane looked around and noticed something amiss on his left. He turned to the left, let out another shout, and threw a punch with his left hand. The resulting Rock Fist destroyed the large tree in front of him, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.
Four figures flashed among the trees and quickly landed around the Uzumaki Hane, which turned out to be four Guren, presumably her clones.
Uzumaki Hane's feet quickly transformed into lava, melting the ground directly and shooting several streams of lava towards the four people.
Crimson Guren, Hand Seals, creating a massive crystal Shuriken. With a swift movement, she cleaved the incoming lava. Then, she launched the Shuriken Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane leaped into the air, dodging the Shuriken's attack. The massive crystal Shuriken encountered no resistance, severing several large trees before shattering into countless crystal particles that dissipated into the air.
As the remaining three Guren dodged the Uzumaki Hane, they each conjured a giant crystal Shuriken and launched it at Uzumaki Hane in mid-air. The three giant crystal Shuriken whistled through the air and arrived in front of Uzumaki Hane in the blink of an eye, blocking all of his Uzumaki Hane routes.
At this moment, Uzumaki Hane had no way to avoid it. He was about to be torn to pieces by the crystal Shuriken in the next second, and the Guren members all revealed bloodthirsty smiles.
Uzumaki Hane didn't seem to want to resist and was directly cut into several pieces. However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur. Instead, Uzumaki Hane's corpse turned into lava and fell to the ground. The Guren realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Behind the Guren on the right, Uzumaki Hane appeared behind her at some point. A Magma Arm ruthlessly pierced through her back. With a crack, the Guren turned into countless shimmering crystals and dissipated into the air.
Uzumaki Hane looked up at the top of the barrier, where a spying gaze had been watching her since earlier. It was clearly the true form of the Guren, who had been observing her.
Uzumaki Hane said provocatively, "That's the third one."
Outside the barrier, Guren heard Uzumaki Hane's provocation, and the killing intent in her eyes intensified. She muttered, "Although Lord Orochimaru ordered me to capture you alive, I will spare your life. I will let you experience my methods."
Inside the barrier, the remaining three Guren thought they could deal with Uzumaki Hane, but instead one of their clones was killed. Now, they were on high alert and scattered in three directions, surrounding Uzumaki Hane.
The three simultaneously Hand Seals, unleashing "Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Shuriken!" Sparkling crystal particles swirled around their hands, transforming into countless crystal Shuriken that flew towards Uzumaki Hane Yu like snowflakes.
Uzumaki Hane looked around, and several Magma Wall rose up beneath his feet, enveloping Uzumaki Hane and forming a lava sphere. All the snowflake-shaped crystal Shuriken struck the lava sphere formed by Uzumaki Hane, but they could not penetrate it and were eventually melted by the high temperature of the lava.
The three Guren exchanged a glance, their hands quickly Hand Seals. Three crystal pillars appeared in the air and descended from the sky, crashing down on the lava sphere.
Suddenly, a long lava spike shot out from the lava sphere, piercing through the nearest Guren. The Guren turned into shimmering crystal particles and dissipated into the air. Then, the lava sphere exploded, and Uzumaki Hane leaped out from within it, avoiding the crystal pillars. With a deafening bang, three crystal pillars smashed into the lava sphere, creating a deep crater, scattering debris and raising clouds of dust.
Seemingly anticipating Uzumaki Hane's appearance in the air, the two Crimson Guren leaped up simultaneously, brandishing crystal blades and slashing at Uzumaki Hane from both sides, blocking all of Uzumaki Hane's escape routes and seemingly intending to cut Uzumaki Hane into pieces.
