"Uchiha Tenchi? Uchiha? So you're a ninja from the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire?"
"No, no, no, you're only half right. I am an Uchiha clan ninja, but not a Konoha Uchiha ninja. Consider joining me. I rarely take on people, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Hmph, since you know we are the Xuanyuan Clan, you should know we are mercenaries. Why would we want to live a free and easy life under your command? Stop daydreaming!"
"Hey, that's not right. How can you call us dogs? If you were to work under me, I, Uchiha Tenki, would treat you like brothers and would never order you around like I do with other people!"
"You make it sound nice, but we're used to freedom and won't put anyone under our command. Uchiha Tenki, you'd better stop scheming!"
Tian Qi shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. These guys were quite strong, and it was unrealistic to expect them to give up their years of freedom to join him. However, he still didn't want to give up and asked, "Really, won't you reconsider?"
"No way! I've made myself perfectly clear: we will not align ourselves with any faction. You don't need to say anything more about this!"
"Sigh, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. How lamentable! The mountain has trees, but the trees have no branches; I love you, but you don't know. I never thought that I valued you so much, yet you didn't appreciate it at all. Since that's the case, I'll have to use some tough measures to make you submit!" As he spoke, Tian Qi put away his joking expression and his expression became serious.
Seeing that Tian Qi was about to make a move, Xuan Yuanzhong frowned. One of them whispered to his companion, "Boss, what do we do? This guy doesn't seem to want to let this go!"
"Originally, we only needed to wait a few days to complete the employer's request, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred halfway through. However, how dare he underestimate the Xuanyuan Clan? Today, he must pay the price. Prepare for battle!"
As the leader decided to fight, the five quickly spread out and formed a battle formation.
Garuda, on the other hand, was puzzled by Tian Qi's actions. Although these guys were quite strong, they weren't so strong that he absolutely had to take them in. What exactly was Tian Qi trying to do?
"Grandma Garuda, can Grandpa beat those guys? They don't look like they're easy to mess with," Itachi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, your grandfather is the strongest in the world. Dealing with these guys is a piece of cake for him. You can rest assured!" Garuda patted Itachi's head and comforted him.
After hearing Garuda's words, Itachi was secretly relieved, and then he stared intently at the people in front of him.
"Hehe, you've got a really energetic formation! Come on, guys, attack with all your might, don't let me look down on you!" Tian Qi smiled as he watched the Xuanyuan group form a T-formation. These guys are really pretty good.
"attack!"
With the leader's shout of attack, the two at the front transformed into a water dragon and a fire dragon, respectively, and attacked Tian Qi.
"Oh, it's the Water Transformation Technique of the Kirigakure Hozuki clan and the Assimilation Technique, a secret ninjutsu of the Land of Fire. Interesting, very interesting!" Tianqi was a little surprised by the actions of the two, but despite his surprise, he raised his left hand and pointed it at them.
When the two were still half a meter away from him, Tianqi finally moved.
"Shinra Tensei!" A powerful repulsive force suddenly appeared, and the two dragons, one transformed into water and the other into fire, were directly blasted away by this repulsive force.
The dragon that had been thrown back immediately returned to human form, gliding for five meters before regaining its balance. They were surprised by the repulsive force, but a smile also appeared on their lips.
Just as the two men were knocked away, Tian Qi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a murderous intent instantly enveloped him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, two dark figures with red eyes appeared beside Tian Qi, holding kunai and about to strike Tian Qi's heart.
"Hmm!!" Tian Qi's eyes widened and a Susanoo-like skeletal arm instantly materialized, annihilating the two shadowy figures with a single horizontal grab.
Watching the dark figure disappear before his eyes, Tian Qi frowned slightly. Was it a clone? No, the real killing intent didn't come from them; it was still there!
Just then, a person suddenly rushed out from Tianqi's shadow, holding a kunai and aiming straight for Tianqi's head. Tianqi reacted and slightly turned to the side to dodge. Although he avoided a fatal blow, the kunai still left a small wound on Tianqi's face.
Looking at the person who had emerged from the shadows, Tian Qi wiped the drop of blood from his wound and said calmly, "Shadow assassination technique, not bad, young man. You've taught me quite a bit!"
"Underestimating us will cost you today!"
"Hehe, that's true. Underestimating people really comes at a price. I was indeed a bit careless when I underestimated you. But this is where you end it, Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance!"
Tianqi's expression changed, and he immediately used the Universal Pull. The assassin ninja, who had never seen this technique before, was pulled in. Tianqi grabbed his neck and immediately pronounced his death sentence.
"Human Path!" Tian Qi summoned Hades, and the Human Path directly extracted the ninja's soul.
The shadow assassin ninja of Xuanyuan also met his end when he saw Hades.
After extracting the soul, Tianqi threw it directly to Hades, who then devoured it, and the ninja collapsed to the ground.
The remaining men were utterly shocked to see their companion so easily dealt with.
"You killed the third brother so easily, what exactly did you do?"
In the human realm, only those whose souls have been extracted can see the King of the Underworld, except for Tian Qi. Xuan Yuan and his companions only saw the third brother being captured by Tian Qi and then dying; they did not see the King of the Underworld.
"Why don't you experience what I did for yourselves and see for yourselves!" Tian Qi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the three people in front of him. Had the other one hidden himself? He couldn't find him for a moment. Heh, interesting.
"Fourth and fifth brothers, step back!"
After the leader of the Xuanyuan Clan roared, his entire body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
The intense, blinding white light forced Tian Qi to raise his hand to block it. At the same time, he had a high opinion of these people. With the strength of elite Jonin and their almost perfect teamwork, even a Kage from a large village would have a hard time dealing with them. They knew I was a ninja who used my eyes, so they deliberately used the bright light to block my vision and then launched a sneak attack. Heh, this guy really has a knives up his sleeve!
