On the high platform, Lin Xuan couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. "Not bad, not bad at all!"
In truth, the bald monk's ability only allowed him to merge his body with the void, becoming immune to other attacks; it was fundamentally impossible for him to escape the Kamui dimension.
The reason he appeared so conveniently before everyone was actually because, after the two entered the Kamui dimension, Lin Xuan had been observing their battle through Obito's vision.
When he saw the bald monk's arm get severed by Obito, he immediately sent Obito a message via the Super Dimensional Chat, instructing him to "accidentally" open a "back door" for the bald monk.
Although Obito didn't understand why, he still followed the request.
The result? The bald monk certainly didn't disappoint him!
Originally restricted within the Kamui dimension, the bald monk, upon seeing a spatial rift, immediately slashed his sword towards it and escaped.
Consequently, the appearance of the severely wounded, one-armed bald monk caused a powerful shock among everyone present and people watching the broadcast worldwide, instantly netting Lin Xuan another 200 million points of reputation value!
Seeing Obito steal all the spotlight, Uchiha Madara grew somewhat displeased and let out a cold snort.
The next second, he directly used the Body Flicker Technique, instantly appearing beside the Mustached Elder. He sent the still dazed Mustached Elder flying once more, severely wounding him in an instant.
Thus, the bald monk had his arm severed, and the Golden-Haired Elder and Mustached Elder were successively severely wounded. All three of the present Five Elder Stars had been defeated!
Witnessing the consecutive defeats of the three Elder Stars, the scene fell into dead silence.
Then, it immediately descended into chaos.
"They lost... Those three esteemed gentlemen actually lost!"
"Is this the strength of the Ninja Association? It's too powerful!"
"Oh heavens! How are we supposed to fight against guys like this? Do we even have a chance of winning?"
On the World Government's side, the morale of many soldiers was gradually turning to panic.
Some soldiers, upon seeing the Elder Stars' defeat, even lost their will to fight outright, turning to flee. However, they were quickly seized upon by nearby pirates and severely wounded.
Although most didn't know the exact origins of these three old men, they had guessed they were the World Government's trump cards.
But now, these specially deployed trump cards had all been defeated by the hands of the Ninja Association members. What was left to fight for?
"Everyone, steady yourselves! Do not panic!" Kong, seeing this scene, immediately roared.
His booming voice echoed across Marineford, calming the World Government soldiers slightly, but many still wore expressions of panic.
Seeing this, Kong's face turned extremely grim.
Without a doubt, the defeat of the three Elder Stars had severely damaged the morale of the World Government forces, almost sending it to rock bottom!
Yet, even knowing this, there was little Kong could do at the moment.
The three strongest figures on their side had been defeated. At best, he could only slightly stabilize morale. If no powerful reinforcements arrived, the soldiers would likely fall back into panic and disorder before long.
Kong took a deep breath, pinning his hopes on the remaining two Elder Stars arriving quickly.
As if answering his expectations, suddenly—
Whoosh!Whoosh!
From the sea east of Marineford, a special vessel appeared, skimming across the water at high speed towards them.
Before the ship even docked, two figures leaped from it!
Seeing the two, Kong's face revealed excitement.
They had finally arrived!
The newcomers were none other than the final two of the Five Elder Stars: the Curly-Haired Elder (Great Elder) and the Long-Bearded Elder (Second Elder)!
In an instant, the two landed on Marineford.
However, a pirate ship happened to be blocking their path. The Curly-Haired Elder merely flicked his finger, and the next second, the entire pirate ship shattered into pieces! The pirates on board were blown to fragments, none surviving!
Witnessing this scene, everyone—both the World Government side and Lin Xuan's alliance—was greatly shocked.
Hashirama Senju, who had just been watching Madara pummel the Mustached Elder again and considering whether to add some more trouble for the Golden-Haired Elder, saw this and his eyes lit up.
He could sense that this curly-haired old man's power was in no way inferior to his own "strength"—his combat prowess was likely stronger than the previous old fellows!
Thinking this, he even lost interest in dealing further with the Golden-Haired Elder, wanting instead to have a proper match with this newly arrived individual!
However, those wishing to challenge the Curly-Haired Elder and the Long-Bearded Elder weren't limited to Hashirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha, Nagato... each of them on the battlefield had long been eager to challenge stronger opponents!
Even Might Duy was feeling the urge, buzzing with excitement!
Earlier, he had thought about challenging Garp again, but Garp was persistently entangled with Roger, giving him no opportunity, which left him feeling quite bored.
Now, seeing someone who seemed even stronger than Garp in physical techniques, he felt his hot blood burning once more,迫不及待 to unleash his youth!
Lin Xuan's gaze also fell upon the two newly arrived figures.
He recognized them immediately as the final two of the World Government's Five Elder Stars—the Curly-Haired Elder (Great Elder) and the Long-Bearded Elder (Second Elder)!
Seeing these two, far from feeling the fear Kong might have hoped for, Lin Xuan grew even more excited. He thought to himself, I wonder how much reputation value these two fellows can bring me?
Just then, an idea for a great way to earn reputation value struck him.
He immediately laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! It seems your World Government truly values this war! The Five Elder Stars have all been mobilized. Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, I feel quite honored!"
His voice rang out clearly across the entire battlefield, instantly silencing everyone present, as well as the global audience watching the live broadcast.
Five Elder Stars!
These words carried immense, terrifying weight, crashing down upon the hearts of all who heard them. For everyone except the Ninja Association members, they stirred up monstrous waves of shock!
The Five Elder Stars present were also momentarily stunned, followed swiftly by fury: This bastard! He actually exposed our identities publicly!
