Chapter 150: Die!

The burly man turned toward the voice, his pupils contracting sharply.

Lian Ye stood holding his blade, his scarlet Sharingan fixedly locked onto the brute before him.

"Impossible…" the brute stammered, "You were clearly wounded by me, how can you still be standing?"

His earlier attack had left no room for mercy; a normal person struck by that kick would lose mobility even if they were immortal.

Yet the youth before him shattered his expectations!

Lian Ye brushed the blood from his mouth corner, slightly lifted his blade, "Now it's my turn to counter."

Yuanfei Rizhan, lying on the ground, tried to help, but the pain in his body made it hard for him to get up.

Uchiha Jing and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang were in the same situation, only hoping that together with Lian Ye they could defeat the brute.

The brute's condition now was clearly worse than before; the chakra within him could no longer sustain another use of Lightning Style Armor.

He gritted his teeth, extracting the little remaining chakra, and Lightning Radiance flickered faintly on his single arm.

He lunged forward with a sudden stride, the ground beneath his feet cracking.

"Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Burst!"

The strike was far weaker than at its peak, yet still a lethal move capable of shattering rock.

Lian Ye wasn't in great shape either; after taking the brute's full‑force kick, he felt his internal organs shift.

If his regenerative ability hadn't become so strong over the years, he'd be lying on the ground like Rizhan now.

The Three Tomoe in Lian Ye's eye whirled wildly, clearly tracking the brute's attack trajectory, allowing him to dodge before the strike arrived.

The brute didn't expect Lian Ye to dodge so easily; as he prepared to continue his assault, he saw a sharp blade swinging toward him.

"Ssshh—" the sound of fabric tearing rang out.

The blade skimmed his clothing; the brute narrowly avoided the attack, taking no injury.

"Useless!" the brute sneered, switching his single arm and delivering a crushing elbow strike to Lian Ye's chest, "Your attacks are ineffective against me!"

"Clack—" the sound of a rib breaking was clearly audible.

Lian Ye spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then suddenly lifted his head at this close range, a cold smile curling at his blood‑stained mouth corner: "Did you really think… my attack was useless?"

The brute's pupils suddenly contracted, a bad omen stirring in his mind.

The next second, Lian Ye suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A scorching fireball erupted from Lian Ye's mouth; at such close range the brute couldn't dodge, his figure instantly engulfed by flames.

"Aaaah—"

Amid the roar of exploding flames, the brute's scream rang out.

Lian Ye remained vigilant; this level of attack was unlikely to kill the opponent.

Sure enough, the brute roared and burst from the fire, black smoke billowing from his body.

His originally dark skin, under the blaze, was indistinguishable from that of a black person.

His exposed skin was covered in charred burns, and the flesh at the broken right arm was carbonized, emitting a pungent burnt odor.

"Mere Fire Release…" the brute gasped, bloodshot eyes, "you think you can kill me?!"

He hadn't expected Lian Ye to form a seal with one hand, and was caught off guard.

Fortunately, at the instant he was engulfed, he briefly activated Thunder Armor, blocking the flame's damage.

Though not fatal, using Thunder Armor drained his chakra nearly to nothing.

Lian Ye gave no reply, merely raising his blade slowly.

His Three Tomoe Sharingan clearly captured that the brute's breathing grew erratic, and the flow of Lightning Release Chakra Mode was unstable.

"Your chakra is running low," Lian Ye said softly.

His current condition is still decent; a war of attrition would definitely wear the opponent out.

I have to admit, this Lightning Style Armor is truly powerful!

Five versus one gained no advantage; instead they were pressed down.

If the brute hadn't expended so much, his remaining chakra would be insufficient to activate Thunder Armor; who would win is hard to say…

"Damn it, with me here you can't win!" the brute shattered the ground, fragments flying as his single arm came down like a war axe.

"Lightning Release: Thunder Abuse Horizontal!"

At that moment, the brute's attack appeared in slow motion to Lian Ye.

He sidestepped, his Tachi thrust forward; without Thunder Armor's defense, the blade easily sliced the brute's skin, drawing a string of blood beads.

This time, without Lightning Style Armor's barrier, the toxin flowed directly into his bloodstream through the wound.

"Cough…" the brute staggered back, purple‑black veins immediately spreading from the wound.

He acted decisively, his finger like a knife stabbing the wound, forcibly gouging out a large chunk of flesh.

Abdominal blood spurted, but the toxin's spread slowed noticeably.

Lian Ye looked at the brute with a hint of respect; this guy was truly ruthless!

Harsh to enemies, harsher to himself.

No wonder he'll become the future Second Generation Raikage…

In other words, anyone who can become Raikage isn't a softie.

He admired him, yet had no intention of letting him go.

"Useless," Lian Ye said, watching the toxin still spreading in the brute's abdomen, "the poison I devised will flow through the blood to the whole body."

Even if the wound is excavated, it only slightly delays death.

The brute's complexion darkened at the words.

He felt a wave of paralysis spreading from his abdomen toward his heart, his muscles beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

It was obvious that there wasn't much time left to live.

"Then... a quick battle and swift resolution!"

The burly man roared, and the remaining Lightning Release Chakra Mode erupted!

His body surface flickered with electricity again, but this time it was noticeably dimmer.

He extracted his last chakra in an almost self‑destructive way, and his speed surged sharply!

Bang!

A heavy punch slammed into Lian Ye's abdomen, sending him flying dozens of meters.

Lian Ye crashed through a large tree before stopping, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But he immediately rolled to his feet, and his Sharingan locked onto the burly man.

Strong bodily regeneration also meant he was more resistant to blows.

If it were a few of Yuanfei Rizhan coming, they'd have been flat on the ground, unable to get up long ago.

"This state can last at most another thirty seconds!"

Lian Ye judged that after thirty seconds, the burly man would exhaust his chakra and then die from poison.

The burly man's onslaught was like a raging storm, determined to have Lian Ye buried with him.

Lian Ye naturally would not let the opponent get his wish, and he proactively created distance.

The burly man could clearly feel the toxin continuously damaging his body, and watching Lian Ye dodge, his anxiety grew.

"Die!" he raised his arm, and Lightning Radiance coalesced into a dazzling spear.

It was a Full Power Strike, also his final measure.

If it hit, it would cause the Konoha Village prodigy to be buried along with him!

Just as the burly man was about to hurl the spear, he suddenly met a pair of scarlet eyes.

The Sharingan's Genjutsu caused the burly man's movement to momentarily stall.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Lian Ye seized the chance, flashed into view before the burly man, and the Tachi in his hand pierced his heart.

The burly man's eyes widened, looking at Lian Ye with unwillingness, and the spear he had gathered vanished instantly.

"Your Thunder Armor... is indeed strong."
