"Kill me? You think you have the ability? If you're not convinced, bring it on!" Seeing that Qian Yu had already traveled dozens of kilometers after stalling for a while, Tian Qi didn't waste any more words and assumed a fighting stance.
"Hahaha, Uchiha Tenchi, do you think you're still the same Asura you used to be? Don't be ridiculous. After half a year of testing and probing, we've already figured out your strength. Right now, you're only at the Kage level. You're like a candle flickering in the wind, burning out at any moment!" The quasi-Kage laughed heartily. It was precisely because they had ascertained that Uchiha Tenchi's strength was not strong that they dared to launch a large-scale attack.
"A candle flickering in the wind? Heh, I'm not just a candle that burns out. I will become a signpost to guide future generations on their path!" As he spoke, Tian Qi's body was covered in lightning, and his lightning armor covered his entire body.
"What kind of bullshit pointing out the way is this? Everyone from Iwagakure, charge! Kill Uchiha Tenki!" The quasi-Kage stopped talking nonsense and pointed at Uchiha Tenki, directly issuing the attack order.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill Uchiha Tenki!!!"
"..."
The Iwa ninja shouted and charged towards Uchiha Tenki.
Tianqi accelerated and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the enemy. When he encountered the first Iwa ninja, he grabbed the ninja's head with his large hand and crushed it with a slight force.
As Tianqi moved through the crowd at incredible speed, the Iwa ninja were constantly being killed by him. It was as if he were in an empty field. The Iwa ninja fell one after another, and the blood that flowed out directly stained the ground red. At this moment, it seemed that even the sky could not bear to watch anymore, and it began to rain.
Seeing that nearly a hundred people had been killed in just a few minutes, the five quasi-Kage were secretly surprised. However, this also proved that Uchiha Tenki's strength had indeed declined, and by a significant margin. If it were the old him, all 1,500 of them would have been wiped out in just a few minutes.
Because Chiba had previously used the Wood Dragon Technique and, together with a group of Konoha ninja, eliminated five hundred Iwa ninja, this vanguard team now only had a little over fifteen hundred members left.
"Stop watching! If this continues, our people will be killed by him sooner or later. Follow me!" A relatively young quasi-Kage from the Shadow Guard said to the group of elite Jonin and four quasi-Kage beside him.
"Alright, let's go!" The pillars of Iwagakure stopped watching and swarmed forward to surround Uchiha Tenki.
It has to be said that the strength of the near-Kage and elite Jonin is truly remarkable. These thirty-odd powerful individuals managed to hold off Tian Qi, who was at the late stage of Kage level. With their combined efforts, wounds slowly began to appear on Tian Qi's body.
The battle lasted for an hour.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After an hour of intense fighting, Tian Qi was also panting heavily.
"Oh, so our ninja world's Asura is already exhausted? Your strength doesn't seem to match your boasting!" The quasi-Kage said sarcastically as he looked at Uchiha Tenchi's physical weakness.
"Heh, I'm not good enough? Then why don't you dare to come forward? Aren't you just afraid I'll retaliate at the last minute?" Although he was a little exhausted, Tianqi still refused to back down.
"..." The group of ninjas didn't respond. They were indeed a little afraid of Uchiha Tenki's counterattack. A Kage-level powerhouse's counterattack before death is not something that anyone can stop. The strength of a Quasi-Kage and a Kage-level powerhouse is not comparable, especially for a veteran Kage-level powerhouse like Uchiha Tenki.
"I've hit the nail on the head, and you can't argue with me, can you? In the end, you're nothing but grains of sand. How can the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the moon?" As he spoke, Tian Qi raised his right hand.
"Sage Art - Giant Jade Rasenshuriken!" A five-meter-long shuriken appeared in Tianqi's hand.
"This terrifying compressed energy is a combination of form and nature transformation. It's not something we can withstand head-on. Everyone be careful!" The quasi-Kage of the Shadow Guard immediately recognized the strength of the ninjutsu as he looked at the ninjutsu in Uchiha Tenki's hand.
Upon hearing this, the group of ninjas immediately retreated a few meters. These quasi-Kage of Iwa ninjas were quite discerning and did not choose to test the law like Kakuzu did.
"Go!" Aiming at a crowded area, Tian Qi threw out the five-meter-long spiral shuriken.
"Bang!!!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
As the spiral shuriken fell into the crowd, it exploded, and after more than fifty people let out a painful roar, they disappeared from the world.
"To be able to unleash such high-quality chakra, to be able to use such a technique, truly worthy of Uchiha Tenki!" The older quasi-Kage was also shocked by this terrifying energy, and he still recognized Uchiha Tenki's strength.
"This ninjutsu is indeed quite powerful, but it also consumes a lot of chakra. Look at Uchiha Tenki after he released this move; his chakra was almost reduced by half. I estimate he can only release it twice at most. There's nothing to be afraid of!" A quasi-Kage observed carefully and said calmly.
“That’s right, it’s true. It seems we’ll be able to take him down soon!” Zhunying, who was the first to speak, also smiled. It seemed that his elder brother’s revenge would be achieved soon.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After releasing the Spiral Shuriken, Tian Qi was panting even more heavily.
"Tianqi, you've already used up a third of your chakra. Stop focusing on using powerful ninjutsu and calculate your chakra reserves," White Zetsu's voice echoed in Tianqi's mind.
"How can the consumption be so great when it's already a third full? I haven't even used that many ninjutsu!" Tian Qi was also puzzled upon hearing White Zetsu's words. With the quality and quantity of his chakra, it shouldn't have consumed so much.
From the start of your battle, your chakra has been draining at an accelerated rate. It's estimated that if you have another three hours, your chakra level will drop to that of a Jonin. White Zetsu also roughly calculated this for Tianqi.
Three hours? That means there's only about an hour left to fight. If my chakra drops too much, I probably won't be able to hold off the Iwa ninja! Tianqi thought about it for a moment.
"Make your move!" The older quasi-Kage gave the order, and five elite Jonin stepped forward and began forming hand seals.
To prevent Uchiha Tenki from launching a last-ditch counterattack, the leading members of the Shadow Guard discussed the matter briefly and decided to first restrict Uchiha Tenki's movements.
"Ninja Art - Earth Barrier!" Five elite Jonin surrounded Uchiha Tenki, and an earthen-yellow barrier rose up.
"Huh? This is a barrier!" Tianqi frowned as he saw that his movement area was restricted by the barrier set up by several Iwa ninjas. They were planning to trap him and start killing him!
Reaching the edge of the barrier, Tian Qi raised his right hand, gathered his power, and punched the earthen-yellow barrier.
"Bang!"
With a bang, Tianqi's fist, which was aimed at the barrier, was bounced back. The barrier's power was so strong that it was probably no less than that of the Four Purple Flame Array. This time, we're really in trouble!
