Konoha's Mission Master

Yet he seemed unharmed, his left fist, fanned with a powerful gust of wind, slamming down towards Yakumo's head.

Yakumo immediately exerted force to draw his sword, but Fuma did not budge, as if it were stuck in his sternum. Even with the strength of his arms, he could not pull it out in an instant.

"bump."

Golden lightning was torn apart by the fist, and Yakumo was sent flying backward. His right hand was still firmly gripping Fuma. More purple blood gushed from the wound on Mundo's chest, and the solar fire attached to the wound was also preventing Mundo's own healing ability.

In mid-air, Yakumo used both legs to stomp into the ground, turned the blade and stabbed it into her feet. With the combined force of the two, she finally stopped the force of the retreat after being knocked back twenty meters, and pulled her legs out of the ground.

Yakumo held his sword in his right hand and wiped the blood from his face with his left, which made his handsome face look even more ferocious.

Mundo's left fist struck Yakumo squarely. Although his mind was a little foggy, it wasn't enough to affect his fighting ability.

call…

A deep blue light appeared on the wound on the head, and the several-centimeter-long gash healed at a speed visible to the naked eye until... no trace was left on the surface of the head.

This is another wonderful use of the power of life: granting Yakumo extraordinary recovery abilities in battle.

Not far away, Mundo roared with his head raised.

Purple arcs of electricity formed a field around his body, and his speed was also partially increased. This was Mundo's second state after being injured.

Yakumo took a step forward, and the golden arc of electricity collided with the deep purple force field. The two resisted, fought, and perished against each other, and for a time it was difficult to determine the winner.

"Round Two."

Within Yakumo's body, his blood surged and boiled, and golden arcs of electricity coursed through his bones and blood, granting him even greater explosive power. His muscles became even stronger under the stimulation of the electric current, and as he exerted force with his legs... afterimages flew everywhere.

This time, Yakumo did not dodge, but instead began to clash fiercely with Mundo's blade. This was not recklessness, but rather a way to accumulate power, with a savage force surging into his body from the blade.

This surging power quickly became Yakumo's aid, changing direction as the Demon-Subduing Blade slashed downwards.

"Stacked Force, Double Slash, Mighty Nation".

The two weapons clashed, producing a deafening roar.

Neither Mundo nor Yakumo retreated; instead, they swung their arms and unleashed a brutal slash with all their might. The scene resembled two terrifying behemoths wrestling to determine the victor's crown.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

In a very short moment, the two exchanged six blows. By using the technique of stacking force, Yakumo was able to deflect the incredibly heavy, bloody butcher's knife.

Mundo gripped the deflected cleaver tightly with both hands, ignoring his bleeding chest. The surrounding purple static field began to churn and shrink, eventually disappearing entirely into his body.

Its massive body was enveloped in dense purple electricity, and its pure white, lifeless eyes were now covered with dense blood vessels that spread from the corners of its eyes and eventually enveloped its eyeballs, turning its eyes blood red.

The stench of blood emanating from Mundo intensified and spread outwards, accompanied by a surge of intense rage. In Yakumo's eyes, Mundo's entire body seemed to be engulfed in crimson flames.

"Mundo, go wherever you want!!!"

The giant roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

This is Mundo's third skill, which grants terrifying violence by reclaiming static electricity and burning blood, which is then applied to the next attack.

Now Mundo... only has his final ultimate ability left to use.

On the other hand, Yakumo appeared somewhat calm.

At this moment, he focused all his energy on the battle, primarily on the rebound and utilization of the energy surging into his body.

Mondora's terrifying power will be absorbed by Yakumo and ultimately transformed into a sharp slash that will break through his defenses.

"Stacked Force, Eight Slashes, Mighty Nation!"

The two weapons collided in mid-air, igniting the surrounding air and setting it ablaze.

Yakumo could clearly sense that Mundo's power had increased several times in this attack, making it roughly equal to the slash Yakumo had delivered after stacking his power eight times.

Mundo is currently in a weakened state after his outburst, a weakness that will last for about a second. In a battle of this magnitude, that one second can be fatal.

Yakumo leaped into the air, the blood seeping from the ruptured capillaries under the skin of her arms staining them red, but a surge of azure energy rapidly repaired the tiny wounds.

But a smile appeared on his face.

Within his body, Mondora's unparalleled power was being rapidly transformed into Yakumo's own power. Although this power was formidable, it was still within the range that Yakumo could transform.

In mid-air, Yakumo gathered all the power in his body, and golden flames burned on the blade. This light was no longer gentle... it was even a little dazzling, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

But then it subsided in the next instant, the air around the Demon-Subduing Blade slightly distorted, and even the space itself began to tremble.

"Stacked Force · Nine Slashes · Extreme Blade Slash".

In an instant, all of Yakumo's power was fully integrated, and Fuma became incredibly heavy in Yakumo's hand. He thrust forward with all his might.

This strike contained all of Yakumo's power.

The golden lines seemed to shatter space, and the bright white fire of the sun was completely out of control, turning the entire sky into pure white.

This attack severed Mundo's head.

The enormous body did not fall; in fact, its burly upper body began to swell, expanding to about four meters in height. Its entire body was enveloped in a layer of purple energy, and its powerful aura radiated outwards.

But... the wound on his neck was still bleeding.

Yakumo sheathed his sword and adjusted his breathing, a long column of white steam rising from his mouth, followed by a sharp inhale to bring enough oxygen into his body.

Suddenly, Yakumo lunged forward, leaving only layers of golden afterimages in his wake, while his true form continued to approach the headless purple giant.

The Kusanagi sword slid out of the Glory Sword Case.

The two swords crossed, tearing open Mundo's left waist again like scissors, causing more purple blood to flow out.

Yakumo looked up and immediately noticed that the bleeding at the severed head had stopped.

"Do you think you're Xing Tian?"

Yakumo greeted him softly, but his twin swords flashed without the slightest mercy.

He could see that Mundo was developing a completely new head.

At this moment... we should seize the opportunity to take advantage of his illness and kill him!

This was their final battle.

After losing his head, Mundo's sword strikes became even more erratic, like a rhinoceros savagely unleashing its immense power.

The arena floor was riddled with countless deep craters from the impact.

Yakumo's gaze was sharp as a knife. He hurled the Kusanagi sword like a spear, and the golden meteor streaked across dozens of meters before crashing into Mundo's chest.

Dazzling golden arcs of electricity and the raging fire of the sun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yakumo gripped Fuma with both hands and delivered a violent downward slash, severing the thick right arm. The two-meter-long cleaver fell to the ground, scattering several small pebbles.

Mundo stumbled backward, like an old man on the verge of death, his aura trembling.

But soon... a head covered in purple veins grew from its neck, its blood-red eyes fixed on Yakumo's face. The next second, the purple giant roared angrily to the sky.

Mundo's body rapidly shrank, dropping from four meters to about three meters, and the purple energy surrounding his body dissipated.

Yakumo strode forward, his sword clashing with Mundo's clenched left arm. An invisible shockwave spread outwards, sending tiny pebbles flying like bullets.

Mundo, who was in a weakened state, was no longer as powerful as Yakumo. In this clash, Yakumo had the upper hand and controlled the rhythm of the subsequent attacks.

His right leg rose high, stepping on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword between Mundo's chest, causing the blade tip to pierce out from behind, unleashing even more golden electricity.

Under Yakumo's control, these currents surged toward the heart, wreaking havoc. The flesh and blood around the Kusanagi sword were charred, and wisps of black smoke rose upwards.

Yakumo quickly retracted his right leg and stepped on the ground.

At the same time, he gripped the hilt of the Demon-Subduing Blade with both hands, directly converting the power within his arms, and using the force of rotation to slash down the blade, causing purple blood to splatter outwards.

Mundo roared in anger, but he couldn't change the outcome.

Yakumo's speed reached its limit once again, leaving only a golden phantom in the entire arena. He was like a skilled butcher, relentlessly attacking that massive body.

Ten minutes later, Mundo collapsed, his body torn to pieces.

Yakumo was panting heavily. Mundo was still alive, but he had lost the ability to stand up. His head, which was connected to his upper body, opened its mouth in a low, muffled voice.

Why did Mundo become a doctor?

"To save lives."

Yakumo responded softly.

At this moment, as Yakumo gazed at the dying Mundo, he suddenly recalled the swift battle with the dragon in the subway. Both possessed immense physique and strength, but lacked intelligence…

It's pathetic, pitiful, and lamentable.

But there can be no hesitation in swinging the knife.

Yakumo is reflecting on his performance in the battle and realizes there are many areas where he could have done better.

"So, how about we give this battle an 80 out of 100?"

A few minutes later, Mundo completely lost his life.

Five crimson energy clusters emerged from Mundo's mutilated body, eventually merging before Yakumo's eyes to transform into a giant crimson heart.

The heart pounded rapidly in mid-air, its sound strong and powerful, exhaling a pale red mist of blood. Yakumo could sense the vibrant life force emanating from the heart.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Undying Heart.
