Tsukushi Oimo watched in horror as the materialized black fist-light, formed from compressed air, blasted towards him, and he instinctively raised his large hammer to block in front of him.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Rei's strength, even when just using Monstrous Strength, could shatter small mountains. Now, with Monstrous Strength combined with the amplification of Black Flash, the force in that instant was simply unimaginable.
With just a muffled thud, the large hammer of Kubikiri Orochi vanished, and along with it, Tsukushi Oimo's upper body.
Only an incredibly dense blood mist remained, forming a swirling long river. Ling's punch had actually directly sent the large hammer flying back, smashing through Tsukushi Oimo's upper body.
"Too brutal, too bloody. This is not good, this is not good."
Ling picked up the large axe of Kubikiri Orochi and rushed out of the blood mist, protected by her Wind Release Chakra Mode, preventing her from being stained with blood.
Now, she only had the large axe in hand. The large hammer had flown to who knows where due to the excessive force, but thankfully, she had left a Flying Thunder God Mark on it.
At this point, Tsukushi Oimo was dead, Chojiro was unconscious, and Biwa Jūzō was concussed and unable to get up. Now, only Suikazan Fuguki, Kuriarare Kushimaru, Kurosuki Raiga, and Munashi Jinpachi remained.
"H-how is this possible? She's a monster!"
Suikazan Fuguki was stunned. He had never seen someone turned into blood mist with a single punch. He suspected that Samehada would probably croak if it took a punch like that.
"Too strong! Seven of us teamed up, and now only four of us are left. Behind us is a barrier, so we can't escape."
Kuriarare Kushimaru's hand, gripping the Long Sword: Sewing Needle, was trembling. One had to know that the intelligence report also mentioned this Uchiha was skilled in Ninjutsu, but now she was about to blow them away with just Taijutsu.
In reality, it was normal. Uchiha Rei in her normal state had the strength of a strong Kage-level Ninja, and these so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were themselves only Elite Jonin.
Even with a few powerful Ninjato, only three or four of them had quasi-Kage level strength. With such a huge disparity in strength, even with Ling not being serious, the outcome remained unchanged.
Munashi Jinpachi was the most helpless. His Exploding Blade: Fly沫, besides being able to summon Exploding Tags, was practically useless. Facing Uchiha Rei's even more formidable method of controlling Exploding Tags, he was completely countered.
"Hey, you go open the seal on the wooden barrel and release the Three-Tails. We'll do our best to hold back Uchiha Rei."
Suikazan Fuguki frowned, his chubby face grim, as he ordered the Hidden Mist Village spy to open the seal and release the Three-Tails.
They wanted to escape in the chaos. Otherwise, none of them would get away. As for what would happen to the Three-Tails, that was not their concern.
"But can we really hold on for that long?"
Kuriarare Kushimaru knew best that even though the Wood Release seal was just a cloth talisman, it would still be very difficult for a Hidden Mist Chunin spy to tear it off.
"We have to hold on even if we can't. Before, we were just afraid of attracting Konoha's attention with too much commotion. Now, in this time of crisis, I plan to unleash the full power of the Lightning Blade."
Kurosuki Raiga held two sharp blades resembling branched fish bones, and pale lightning danced on the blades. The sky also began to gather clouds.
"Then let's go. Dying at the hands of such a strong opponent is not a humiliation."
Munashi Jinpachi pulled back Exploding Blade: Fly沫, summoning a large number of Exploding Tags, ready to launch an attack at any moment according to orders.
"Next, Munashi Jinpachi and I will be responsible for the main attack, Kuriarare Kushimaru will interfere and provide support, and Kurosuki Raiga will be responsible for building up lightning to deliver a fatal blow."
Suikazan Fuguki regained his composure, speaking as if killing Uchiha was as easy as picking something out of a pocket. Regardless of whether the others had their courage renewed, Suikazan Fuguki certainly did not.
"Hey, is it really okay for you to conspire so loudly? Are you ready? I've finished my warm-up, too. Now, I'm going to get serious."
Ling tossed the giant axe, which was almost as tall as her, up and down, feeling that it was quite handy. Although it had no special effects, it was a good axe just by its sharpness, weight, and toughness.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu!" They had been somewhat overconfident before and caught off guard, but now the four of them jointly used the Hidden Mist Jutsu to seal off an area of a thousand meters.
Speaking of Hidden Mist Jutsu, it did somewhat counter the Sharingan. The Sharingan could only see clearly within a certain distance. Unfortunately, Uchiha Rei's perception ability was also unparalleled.
Suikazan Fuguki was the first to attack, swinging Samehada, which resembled a spiked drumstick, at Uchiha Rei. He had a plan: Samehada could gain an advantage by absorbing Uchiha's Chakra multiple times.
He believed that although Uchiha Rei had a lot of Chakra, due to her age, it couldn't be that much. Therefore, absorbing Chakra was the most conservative tactic.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Rei understood Samehada's nature too well, so she didn't attach Chakra to it at all. She could easily wield the large axe with brute force alone.
Uchiha Rei put away her frying pan, swung the large axe with both hands, and fiercely struck Samehada. Although Samehada was indestructible, facing such brute force, it was struck so hard that its mouth opened wide and its tongue stuck out, looking as if it were about to die.
Where the large axe struck, many of Samehada's sharp spikes were cut off. These were Samehada's scales, and thankfully, they provided a buffer, preventing internal damage.
"Interesting, as expected of Samehada. Do you like Chakra? I have a lot of very good-smelling Chakra here."
Ling's hunter's instinct was piqued. She condensed a ball of high-purity Chakra in her palm, which immediately excited Samehada, who had been playing dead with its tongue out.
The main reason was that Uchiha's Chakra was not only abundant but also extremely pure. Most importantly, it possessed all seven attributes and was balanced and peaceful, making it extremely close to Six Paths Level Chakra.
Suikazan Fuguki's expression immediately changed. He had just remembered that Samehada chose its master, and it was now very likely to abandon him and follow Uchiha Rei.
At once, Suikazan Fuguki immediately injected a large amount of Chakra, intending to satiate Samehada to prevent its defection. Fortunately, at this moment, countless Exploding Tags surrounded Uchiha Rei.
It turned out that Munashi Jinpachi had been continuously summoning Exploding Tags in the thick fog, intending to blow up Uchiha Rei in one go. He didn't even dare to engage in close-quarters combat.
The main reason was that his toothpick-like physique would probably get him chopped to death by an axe in close combat, even though Exploding Blade: Fly沫's power could only be fully unleashed in close combat.
However, compared to killing the enemy, he preferred to preserve his life, so conservative combat was his idea. In fact, all four of them were in agreement.
How could Exploding Tags harm Uchiha Rei? Although she hadn't yet awakened the Paper Release Bloodline Limit, she had learned the essence of Village of Blazing Sun's Exploding Tag techniques.
Forming a hand seal with one hand, she immediately unleashed Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. The Wind Release was precisely controlled in Uchiha Rei's hand, forming a spiraling whirlwind.
The Exploding Tags were all blown into the sky by the Wind Release, and then a violent explosion occurred, scattering the Wind Release as well.
The explosion in the sky undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Konoha Anbu, so some Anbu and Ninja who heard the commotion rushed over.
"Not good! With such a big commotion, Konoha must have heard it."
Suikazan Fuguki's expression changed drastically, and he only thought of immediately fleeing.
