Chapter 529: Playing House Ends Here

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was shocked by this, Lian Ye seized the chance and lifted a foot to kick his stomach.

The unguarded Sasuke was instantly flung backward.

Jugo, seeing this, immediately stepped forward and intercepted the airborne Sasuke.

"Sasuke, are you okay?"

"Move aside, it's none of your business!" Sasuke Uchiha wriggled free, saying irritably.

He hadn't expected the person before him to be so powerful; he was hit and sent flying before he could even react.

"So strong..."

Gui Deng Shuiyue wore a terrified expression, having not seen clearly how that warrior had moved.

Fourth Raikage Ai looked at Lian Ye with puzzlement, "Hey, are you really a warrior of the Tie Zhi Guo?"

He finally realized Lian Ye was no ordinary person and certainly not from the Tie Zhi Guo.

"I said, you keep fighting; you don't need to mind us."

Lian Ye sheathed his blade, spread his hands, and said helplessly.

"As for my identity? I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable warrior."

Everyone: "…"

Of course they didn't believe Lian Ye's perfunctory words, and for a moment they lost the desire to continue fighting.

Leaving an inscrutable, powerful figure watching from the side, how could they fight as casually as before?

If this guy were to set a hidden trap behind him, it would be extremely dangerous!

"Hey, since you won't speak, I'll beat you until you tell me."

Sasuke Uchiha picked up the Kusanagi Sword stuck in the ground, his eyes fixed dead on the iron‑armored Lian Ye.

The power this guy displayed just now was indeed extraordinary, but he didn't think he was truly outmatched.

He just had been a bit careless before.

"Raikage, are you just going to watch?"

Lian Ye faced the arrogant Er Zhu Zi, feeling a headache coming on, and looked to Fourth Raikage for help.

Isn't this guy harboring a bone‑deep hatred for Sasuke, swearing to avenge Qi Labi?

Although in reality Qi Labi hasn't died, the current Raikage doesn't know that at all.

He only came to watch the show and has no intention of playing house with the kids.

"Hmph, when you can't defeat Sasuke Uchiha, I will naturally step in to help!" Fourth Raikage Ai crossed his arms, looking at Lian Ye with interest.

He was equally curious about this warrior's true identity; after all, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't run away from here.

Striking later wouldn't make much difference.

And he could also see the warrior's real strength.

Moreover, he had an indescribable, countless feeling toward the warrior before him...

In short, he didn't like this guy at all!

He didn't know the exact reason, but his gut feeling wasn't wrong.

"Oh dear, you guy with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect such deep scheming!"

Lian Ye guessed the Raikage's intention to use Sasuke to test his strength.

"I'll make you willingly reveal your identity!" Sasuke Uchiha raised the Kusanagi Sword, its tip pointing at Lian Ye.

"Kid, do you really intend to strike me?" Lian Ye said somewhat helplessly.

He originally only came to watch the show, with no intention of joining the fight, but ended up being tangled by Er Zhu Zi.

Now it seems the only option is to make Er Zhu Zi face reality.

"Fine, I'll give you a lasting lesson..." Lian Ye's right hand slowly pressed the hilt of his waist blade.

"Hmph, hide the head, reveal the tail!" A murderous glint flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, and he said no more.

His figure surged forward like a phantom, the Kusanagi Sword imbued with Lightning Radiance tracing a blue slash in the air, slashing straight at Lian Ye's neck!

The speed was so fast, far surpassing that of an ordinary Jonin.

"Clang!"

Amid sparks flying, the Tachi in Lian Ye's hand remained sheathed, steadily blocking the incoming Kusanagi Sword.

A massive force radiated from the blade, causing the stone slab beneath Lian Ye's feet to crack slightly, yet his hand holding the sword stayed as steady as rock.

"Heh, good angle," Lian Ye's voice came through his helmet, with a hint of dullness, "Too bad, the power is too weak."

The current Er Zhu Zi wasn't as strong as he imagined.

In the original story, had Wo Ai Luo not intervened in time, Fourth Raikage would have killed Er Zhu Zi at the cost of losing a hand and a foot.

Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted; this guy's power was even greater than the Raikage's!

Having already clashed once before, he didn't freeze for long this time; his left eye Kaleidoscope snapped into focus.

"Amaterasu!"

A moment of pitch‑black flame materialized before Lian Ye, and just as the fire was about to cling to his armor, his figure vanished without a trace.

When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Tuan Cang.

"What?!" Sasuke Uchiha's face showed horror.

How did this guy manage to disappear the instant he appeared...?

Even his Kaleidoscope Sharingan failed to capture Lian Ye's disappearance trajectory!

Everyone likewise couldn't see how he vanished, only Fourth Raikage stared intently at the Lian Ye who disappeared and reappeared.

The technique felt somewhat familiar.

A blond‑haired figure involuntarily flashed in his mind...

Flying Thunder God Technique?

Uncertain, still watching.

If we can confirm the samurai used the Flying Thunder God Technique, it proves he was sent from Konoha to stop Sasuke Uchiha!

"Genjutsu activated through eye contact is truly unstoppable," Lian Ye narrated calmly, "Too bad its release speed is too slow."

Amaterasu is indeed a powerful Dojutsu, but there is a delay before it reaches full blaze.

As long as you're fast, you can dodge it.

Even if he didn't dodge earlier, he could immediately shed his armor.

"Damn!"

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth; this guy not only knows the limits of his Dojutsu, but can pinpoint its flaw!

"By the way, overusing the Kaleidoscope Sharingan carries a risk of blindness,"

Seeing Sasuke recklessly using his eye abilities, Lian Ye admitted that claiming he wasn't envious would be a lie.

When he didn't have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he could only use his eye abilities a few times a year.

One can only say inheriting the elder brother's legacy makes a difference.

"Hmph, none of your business!"

Sasuke Uchiha noticed this guy always spoke to him in an elder's tone, which made him quite annoyed.

"Chidori Senbon!"

Countless Lightning Radiance needles burst from his hand, instantly covering Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang.

Tuan Cang: "……"

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Lian Ye stood in front of his good brother, swinging his Tachi, effortlessly blocking all attacks.

"How's that, feeling safe?"

Tuan Cang: "……"

If you hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have been attacked at all.

Sasuke Uchiha saw that Lian Ye didn't even regard him, and instantly erupted in fury.

"You bastard, die!"

Saying that, he launched another attack at Lian Ye.

"Enough, I'll go knock that kid down first, otherwise…"

Lian Ye told his good brother and then directly met Sasuke's attack.

"Kid, the make‑believe ends here."
