Chapter 571: Complete Susanoo, the Might of One Tachi!
Great Elder Long Yi of the main family stood rigidly in place, his face still bearing an expression of disbelief.
Immediately after, a thin line of blood appeared at his neck.
"Gulu…"
He opened his mouth as if to speak, but only emitted an unintelligible hissing sound.
Then his head slid smoothly along the blood line, and the headless corpse crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Silence.
A death‑like stillness enveloped the Battlefield.
Whether from the main family or the branch families, the Otsutsuki Clan members stared wide‑eyed in disbelief at the headless corpse of the Great Elder on the ground.
The powerful Great Elder of the clan was eliminated with a single move in an instant?!
Hinata Yuki's eyes flickered at the sight, a faint smile tugged at his mouth, and he muttered to himself.
"You've become stronger again."
Although the facts before his eyes were undeniable, the impact was so massive that the remaining two branch Elders and over forty branch clan heads were left with their minds blank.
In contrast, the branch clan members, after a brief shock, felt a surge of intense joy.
The clan leader's friend's power was astonishingly great, wiping out the branch Great Elder in the blink of an eye.
Great, they're finally saved!
"Bastard!!!"
An angry roar shattered the dead silence of the Battlefield.
The two remaining branch Elders' eyes widened to the brink of tearing, their hearts instantly consumed by hatred and rage, their murderous intent laid bare.
The Great Elder was killed like that; the branch's loss was already great enough.
Damn guy, if he hadn't suddenly appeared, the branch would have killed DaTongMuYuShu long ago, ending the long‑standing war.
Indeed, it's all that guy's fault!
"Kill him! Avenge Great Elder Long Yi! All together!"
Fear gave birth to extreme madness…
Although more than forty Otsutsuki branch members knew Lian Ye's strength, they believed that their numbers gave them the power to slay the guy before them if they united.
Under the two Elders' command, countless branch members unleashed all their chakra, swarming toward Lian Ye.
In an instant, flashes of various Ninjutsu poured toward his location.
"Lord Clan Head, aren't we going to support your friend?"
A member of the main family, watching Lian Ye engulfed by the sky‑full of Ninjutsu, asked anxiously.
Hinata Yuki's Byakugan reflected Lian Ye's figure; after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.
"He doesn't need our help…"
He held absolute confidence in the power Lian Ye displayed.
He believed that guy would surely defeat all the branch members!
One person against over forty Jonin sounds a bit far‑fetched.
But he still believed Lian Ye could do it!
Facing the barrage of Ninjutsu from the sky, Lian Ye's expression did not change a bit, not even a flicker of his eyelids.
"Since you insist on a suicide mission..." his voice was calmly terrifying, clearly reaching everyone's ears, "then I'll send you... to meet that old thing just now!"
The moment his words fell, a terrifying chakra that made everyone's hearts race suddenly surged from Lian Ye.
The Otsutsuki Clan members with Byakugan looked at Lian Ye as if he were a glowing light bulb, so bright they could barely keep their eyes open.
Dark‑red chakra erupted explosively around Lian Ye! A towering dark‑red giant rose from the ground.
The giant was clad in simple yet majestic samurai armor, bore a pair of wings on its back, and a massive Tachi hung at its waist.
Just standing there, the pressure it exuded chilled everyone present.
Countless Ninjutsu attacks struck Susanoo, causing no damage at all…
Lian Ye stood within the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, looking down from above at the Otsutsuki Clan members below, tiny as ants.
Complete Susanoo!
Back then, the enraged Madara Uchiha used this form, cutting the Three‑Tails into blood and vapor with a single Tachi.
At that time Lian Ye couldn't even describe how envious he was, how much he wished he could also activate Complete Susanoo.
Now that wish from back then has finally been fulfilled…
Since Lian Ye obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, this is the first time he has unleashed this ultimate form without reservation.
Before, he lacked sufficient Pupil Power to activate it, or after gaining the power he had no suitable battlefield or opponent.
But now, atop YueQiu far from the Ninja World, facing this group of rebellious Otsutsuki insurgents attempting a coup, he can finally test the true power Madara Uchiha achieved as the "God's Power"!
"In the face of absolute strength, numbers mean nothing," Lian Ye's voice echoed from the crystal in Susanoo's brow, "A swarm of ants united is still… ants!"
As his words faded, Complete Susanoo slowly drew the Tachi from its waist.
The dark‑red blade's light illuminated the terrified faces of the branch members below, and the space emitted a sound like fabric being torn.
"What a magnificent power..."
A branch Elder's voice trembled as he gazed up at the giant that nearly filled the entire view and the Tachi that seemed capable of cleaving the whole moon in two, a primal fear that left his mind blank.
Clearly, he had been struck by Complete Susanoh.
Such a terrifying giant is beyond human strength.
Perhaps only the legendary Reincarnation Eye spoken of in the clan could match it even a little.
Unfortunately, they currently lack a Reincarnation Eye.
Even if they sacrificed all the clan members' eyes to forge a giant Reincarnation Eye, it would still be too late.
At this moment, the only option awaiting them is death…
"Ants, meet your death!"
As Lian Ye's words fell, the next Susanoo moved.
The motion seemed slow, but in fact it was as fast as thunder. The massive Tachi was slowly raised, and wherever its blade passed, the space rang with a sound!
Then, it swung down!
There was no complex technique, only a simple slash.
"Scatter quickly!" another branch Elder finally reacted, letting out a desperate howl.
Unfortunately, they had no chance.
The dark‑red blade flash, like an apocalyptic divine punishment, fell vertically onto them!
Boom!
The roar and tremor that swept across the entire YueQiu were indescribable; the instant the blade struck, the ground was sliced as easily as tofu, and a massive canyon dozens of meters wide and bottomless instantly formed, spreading at a terrifying speed.
A raging dark‑red chakra shockwave fanned out forward, instantly erasing everything it passed.
The more than forty members of the branch family, along with all the Ninjutsu they unleashed, could not even utter a scream before the world‑shattering slash; they vanished completely in the destructive dark‑red light, leaving no remains!
The blade's afterglow persisted, striking the interior of YueQiu with force, causing violent shaking.
The power of a single slash, terrifying indeed!
The dust slowly cleared, leaving only a terrifying canyon that pierced nearly half of YueQiu, and scattered dark‑red flames flickering at its edges.
Complete Susanoo slowly retracted its blade, and the dark‑red giant body dissolved into specks of light.
