Chapter 461: Waste Utilization

Lian Ye's movements did not pause at all; the seized long sword turned into a grim reaper's scythe.

He moved like a tiger among a flock of sheep, the flashing blade accompanied by endless screams and the clatter of falling weapons.

One ninja after another fell beside him, and none proved even a match for him!

In an instant, a small area around him was cleared, the ground littered with injured, moaning or dead ninjas.

Since the opponents were not Konoha ninjas, Lian Ye struck without any hesitation.

From afar, the Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman saw this and knew his actions were justified.

If it weren't for his wise leadership, the fallen would have been Sand Hidden Village ninjas,

which only strengthened his resolve not to entertain thoughts of opposing Konoha.

Uchiha Lianye truly shows no mercy when he kills!

The battle on the field continued.

A Iwagakure Village ninja, while Lian Ye's back was turned as he dealt with another ninja, let out a roar and launched a rear ambush.

The kunai in his hand thrust straight at Lian Ye's back, aiming to kill him with a single strike.

Lian Ye sensed the movement behind him, sidestepped the kunai, and with a seemingly casual reach precisely clamped the ambusher's throat, lifting him off the ground as if picking up a chick.

The Cloud Hidden ninja struggled in terror, kicking wildly, and the kunai in his hand clanged to the ground.

Lian Ye slowly lifted his head; beneath the mask, a pair of cold Sharingan eyes stared at the choking, reddened-faced black ninja in his hand, his deep, resonant voice emanating through the mask.

"Do you also wish to dance?"

The words blew across the battlefield like a cold wind, bearing unparalleled arrogance and oppression.

They instantly halted the ninjas around who intended to charge forward.

They stared in terror at the devilish figure and the helpless companion struggling in his hand, a deep chill rising from within.

This is literally a monster!

At this moment, Lian Ye seemed possessed by Madara Uchiha, his absolute power and bearing intimidating the entire arena.

The cold question still hanging in the air, Lian Ye suddenly tightened his grip on the opponent's neck.

Crack!

The ninja who attempted the ambush had his neck snapped instantly, his struggling ceased, his head drooping helplessly to one side.

Lian Ye, as if discarding trash, casually flung the still-warm corpse toward the nearby crowd.

"Got it."

The ninjas present didn't notice that as he tossed the corpse, his other hand swiftly affixed an Explosive Talisman onto it.

It was a perfect waste utilization.

Boom!

The corpse suddenly exploded violently among the crowd!

Flesh and blood flew, screams rose, instantly causing considerable chaos and casualties.

This cruel yet efficient method completely shattered the Ninja Alliance's courage to approach and encircle.

"Scatter! Everyone, scatter quickly!"

"Don't get close to him! Use ranged attacks!"

The Ninja Alliance swiftly put distance between themselves and Lian Ye; kunai, shuriken, and Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release ninjutsu poured toward him from all directions.

Facing the dense assault, Lian Ye dodged while preparing to counter with ninjutsu.

Since he's already cosplaying Ban Daye, he must use his signature ninjutsu.

He calmly began forming seals, his hands moving like lightning, leaving trails of afterimages.

As the first Water Dragon Bomb and Earth Dragon Bomb approached, the hand seals were completed.

He took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and then forcefully exhaled forward.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

A raging wall of fire surged from his mouth like a heat wave.

Unfortunately, its range wasn't as large as Ban Daye's during the Fourth Battle.

Nevertheless, it was sufficient against these small fry.

The scorching heat instantly vaporized the incoming Water Dragon, melted the Earth Dragon, and burned the countless shuriken and kunai into glowing red, deforming them as they fell.

As chakra continuously poured in, the flame's area began to expand.

Lian Ye has always lacked everything—except he never lacks time, chakra, or money.

The terrifying blaze only grew stronger.

"Quick, use Water Release Defense!"

Some quick-witted ninjas let out hoarse shouts, while the others immediately reacted.

Water Country is the home ground of Water Release ninjas; the Water Release ninjutsu they employed easily extinguished the surging flames.

The clash of water and fire erupted white steam so dense it instantly shrouded the battlefield, blurring everyone's vision.

Lian Ye stood firm, surrounded by scorching airwaves, his Sharingan beneath the mask gazing through the mist at the Ninja Alliance.

There were simply too many people.

Moreover, those who rushed forward were just a bunch of filler minnows, while the Jonin of the alliance lingered at the rear.

It seemed they intended to wear him down with a human wave tactic.

Anyway, he alone could never deal with this entire Ninja Alliance.

Nevertheless, that was exactly the effect he wanted.

The higher the difficulty of capturing the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, the better!

The ideal is a mission difficulty so high it becomes impossible to complete, continuously draining Ban Daye's time.

Until he could no longer hold back.

Lian Ye plans to fight a little longer then run away, letting A Fei see his hardship so he can later explain it to Ban Daye.

It's not that he doesn't want to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, but the Ninja Alliance is too numerous.

To deal with just him, they deployed nearly a thousand ninja, really holding him in high regard.

Just killing everyone is hard enough, let alone capturing the Tailed Beast.

Although he possesses the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he's probably going to blind his own eyes before he defeats everyone.

Lian Ye says his eyes must never go blind.

Otherwise, what will he use later to stop Ban Daye's World Destruction Plan?

Lian Ye, taking advantage of the fog's cover, rushes into the crowd; each swing of his Tachi splatters blood.

But he is still calculating the timing of his escape.

After cutting down dozens in succession, he deliberately creates a flaw.

Making others think his chakra is insufficient.

Only then will the Ninja Alliance go all out, allowing him to leave wounded.

Without taking any injury, it's hard to move Ban Daye.

People, once old, become cunning and suspicious, even questioning his loyalty.

Hopefully when he grows old, he won't be as superstitious as Ban Daye.

Otherwise it's easy to hurt the subordinates who loyally follow him.

It's just that Lian Ye doesn't have any followers, after all…

"His chakra is mostly spent, everyone, move in!"

"Take action, take him down!"

Originally, a Jonin who roamed the outer perimeter, occasionally releasing some harmless Ninjutsu.

Seeing Lian Ye show signs of low chakra, their gaze suddenly sharpens like an eagle.

They realize now is the best moment to deal with the mysterious person!

Dozens of Elite Jonin join the Battlefield, surrounding Lian Ye in the middle.

Their stats are incomparable to those Chunin and Special Jonin from before!

Obviously they are confident about keeping the mysterious person before them.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang sees this scene and instinctively clenches his fist.

He hopes Lian Ye won't be in danger!
