Following Najeshtan's command, the five-member Night Raid team suddenly sprang into action!
With a series of clanking mechanical transformations, Najeshtan's mechanical right arm instantly shifted into a cannon barrel as thick as a thigh, relentlessly firing a cannon shell straight at Uchiha Madara's head!
The distance between them was merely ten meters. Logically, anyone else facing a cannon blast from that range would have had their brains blown out on the spot!
However, Uchiha Madara, seated calmly in his chair, merely reached out and caught the cannon shell fired by Najeshtan, his expression utterly disdainful.
"Najeshtan, you've used this toy on me before. Was it useful?"
No sooner had his words fallen than the cannon shell, clutched in Uchiha Madara's hand, suddenly exploded!
Flames flickered, and smoke billowed everywhere. The terrifying explosion instantly engulfed Uchiha Madara entirely. Yet, after the blast, Uchiha Madara remained safely and soundly seated in his original spot.
Not only was Uchiha Madara's clothing uncreased, but even the wooden chair beneath him didn't have a single scratch.
After it was done, Uchiha Madara remarked mercilessly:
"Cannons? A child's toy!"
All of a sudden, countless piercing sounds of air being torn echoed around Uchiha Madara. He fixed his gaze, annoyed.
Undoubtedly, it was Lubba's handiwork. Under his Imperial Arms' control, more than a dozen thin, taut, semi-transparent silk threads rapidly cut through the air from all directions, slashing towards Uchiha Madara. Just by looking at the cut concrete floor, one could tell how sharp these threads were.
Uchiha Madara finally showed a hint of interest.
Since they were threads, he would simply deal with them with his own threads!
"Wind Release! Cutting Threads!"
Uchiha Madara extended a hand. From the base of each of his five fingers, two or three semi-transparent, sharp and tough Wind Release Cutting Threads rapidly shot out!
Unlike Lubba's taut silk threads, Uchiha Madara's Cutting Threads could be twisted and tangled completely at will.
With a flick of his wrist and a tremble of his five fingers, over a dozen Wind Release Cutting Threads shot out from Uchiha Madara in all directions, instantly tangling with Lubba's taut silk threads!
Lubba, sensing this, his eyes widened instantly, disbelieving.
How was this possible?! His own threads were tangled by someone else's, and instead of his threads cutting the opponent's, they were being tightly bound by them!
Greatly startled and with a pale face, Lubba hastily changed his technique, quickly pulling his Imperial Arms back! With a snap, Lubba's threads, which were intertwined, and Uchiha Madara's Cutting Threads were forcibly pulled straight!
Because both sides had more than a dozen fine threads gathered together, people could now clearly see—one side was pulling with Imperial Arms in Lubba's sweat-drenched hands, while the other side was pulling with Uchiha Madara's hands, who looked light and unconcerned. As for which side held the advantage, one could tell just by looking at their expressions!
The Night Raid five were greatly alarmed. As the de facto commander, Najeshtan took a step back and hastily issued an order:
"Susanoo! Bulat!"
These two were Night Raid's two strongest attackers. Two surges of formidable aura erupted into the sky, and two powerful figures, one left and one right, charged towards Uchiha Madara, who was still seated!
Uchiha Madara looked up. Rushing in with the wind were Bulat and Susanoo. Bulat, clad in heavy armor, thrust his large red spear at Uchiha Madara's throat with a resounding clang.
Susanoo, wearing a loose kimono, swung his large round club down hard at Uchiha Madara's head!
Uchiha Madara blinked, unfazed.
"I'm playing with a little friend; why are you two trying to join the fun!?"
Because his right hand was still pulling the Cutting Threads, Uchiha Madara merely extended his left hand. With lightning speed, he forcefully grabbed Bulat's large red spear, seizing its tip right before his own neck, preventing it from advancing even a millimeter.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Bulat's forehead. Uchiha Madara's strength was simply unheard of.
However, Uchiha Madara still had Susanoo's large club descending on his head. He grasped the spear shaft, and with a twist, forcefully rotated Bulat's spear shaft upwards. With a loud clank, the large red spear struck Susanoo's large round club!
A flash crossed Uchiha Madara's eyes. The natural chakra within his body rapidly transformed into Lightning Release, materializing as purple lightning in his hand!
Instantly, purple lightning, flowing along the large red spear and the large round club, crackled and simultaneously electrocuted both Bulat and Susanoo!
Watching the terrifying purple lightning flash before her, Najeshtan's face paled in shock:
"Bulat! Susanoo!"
But things weren't that simple. Uchiha Madara looked at Bulat and Susanoo, who were electrocuted and unable to escape in time, and simply scoffed:
"Fire Release! Great Fire Annihilation!"
His mouth opened wide, and terrifying, scorching flames spewed forth, instantly engulfing Bulat and Susanoo!
Najeshtan and Lubba, who was still pulling his threads, stared wide-eyed in horror, watching the sky-high flames erupting from Uchiha Madara's mouth. Just looking at the bright firelight and the scorching air, they knew this fire was absolutely terrifying!
In the dark Imperial Capital at night, a fiercely scorching, bright flame suddenly shot diagonally towards the sky, illuminating an entire area in an instant...
Uchiha Madara loosened his grip. Bulat and Susanoo, the two enormous men, were directly blown away by this terrifying fire!
Closing his mouth, the flames that had almost illuminated the entire estate gradually dissipated. Bulat and Susanoo, who had just been blown away, were charred black and severely disfigured, like broken onions, falling to the ground!
Looking at Bulat and Susanoo who had fallen behind him, Najeshtan couldn't help but be shocked. She rushed behind them, looking at Susanoo's wretched state.
Fortunately, fortunately, although Susanoo was charred black all over, and his skin and muscles were burnt through a layer, he was a humanoid Imperial Arms, so despite severe burns, he could recover.
Bulat was entirely wrapped in his armor. The armor was horribly charred beyond recognition, but thankfully, the human body inside was largely unharmed.
Having easily sent Night Raid's two strongest attackers flying, Uchiha Madara turned his head to look at Night Raid's other controller, Lubba.
Lubba was still frantically pulling his own threads. Seeing Uchiha Madara's gaze sweep over him, he instantly shivered all over.
