Undoubtedly, the one who would make a move at this moment, and whose move would be a sure kill, was only Akame.
When Uchiha Madara was dealing with Lubba, did he not notice Akame, who was hiding and lurking?
With Uchiha Madara's current mastered ability of Mind's Eye of Kagura, no matter how skilled or profound Akame's stealth was, he could absolutely sense her.
And in fact, ever since Akame disappeared from Uchiha Madara's sight, Uchiha Madara had already been on guard.
And Akame's stealth and lurking afterwards were always watched by Uchiha Madara, only to strike suddenly at this critical moment.
The extremely sharp Murasame, carrying its matching terrifying curse, slashed fiercely at Uchiha Madara's neck in Akame's hand.
A muffled sound. Akame was stunned.
It was as if she were trying to cut a tire with a chopstick. No matter how sharp Akame's Murasame was, no matter how much force Akame's hands exerted, it couldn't scratch a single hair on Uchiha Madara's neck.
Nonsense. Uchiha Madara had already cultivated the body of a Sage to perfection; he wasn't a vegetarian. Murasame, though very sharp, was not sharp enough to cut Uchiha Madara's skin.
The sure-kill strike failed completely. Akame was inevitably flustered.
As a professional assassin, failing to land a hit meant it was difficult to get a second chance to strike. So, from this moment on, Akame had only one choice: to quickly retreat.
However, the fish was already hooked. Would Uchiha Madara let him escape so easily?
Akame's retreat speed was fast, but Uchiha Madara's speed, as a god-like figure, was even faster.
Before Akame could even pack his bag, Uchiha Madara was already sitting calmly in his chair, swiftly extending his hand. With his index finger, middle finger, and thumb, he directly grabbed the blade of Akame's Murasame!
When Akame tried to pull his blade back, he suddenly found that his blade seemed to be clamped by a pair of pliers, unable to move an inch.
Despite Akame's somewhat rough nerves, at this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"How is this possible?! He actually grabbed my Murasame so easily!?"
Najeshtan, who witnessed all of this, paled in shock and warned Akame loudly:
"Akame! Danger! Retreat quickly!"
However, Uchiha Madara's reaction was clearly a step faster than Akame's.
Uchiha Madara transformed three fingers into two, using only his index and middle fingers to clamp the blade of Akame's Murasame. His two fingers flicked, causing Akame's Murasame blade to curve into an arc.
Because this arc traveled along the blade to the hilt, Akame's face changed, and he almost failed to pull out his blade.
Seizing this opportunity, he opened his two fingers. With a twist, his middle finger brutally flicked Akame's Murasame blade.
With a thud, Murasame's entire body trembled from his vibration. Now Akame was completely unable to hold the blade.
As a professional assassin, Akame was clearly very capable. Seeing the situation, he immediately abandoned his Imperial Arms, Murasame, and turned to flee.
Sitting calmly in his chair, Uchiha Madara lightly turned and extended his left hand, directly grabbing Akame's shoulder, easily and forcefully pulling him back.
Akame was known for his agility and nimbleness. How could he compete with Uchiha Madara in terms of brute strength?
A terrifying, immense force filled Akame's shoulder, directly flipping Akame over and dragging him back.
With a dizzying spin, under Uchiha Madara's control, Akame's frail body was flipped and tumbled, landing directly in front of Uchiha Madara.
Akame, who had sobered up, finally realized he had landed. However, before him sat Uchiha Madara, composed and upright. The Imperial Arms, Murasame, in his hand had also disappeared.
Well, Murasame, which was just now knocked out of his hand by Uchiha Madara, was now lying behind Uchiha Madara's chair.
Akame stood pale-faced in front of Uchiha Madara. He thought of Uchiha Madara's speed and terrifying power when he attacked just now. He calculated in his heart, fearing that he couldn't escape.
Since he couldn't escape, he might as well fight to the death.
With a flick of his wrist, two short blades emerged from his sleeve. Looking at the two gleaming blue blades, he knew they were definitely coated with poison. Even if the poison wasn't as potent as Murasame's, it was definitely a terrifying poison that would kill on sight.
Waving the two short blades, Akame's eyes turned savage. He stabbed towards Uchiha Madara's temples, one left, one right.
Looking at Akame's expression, Uchiha Madara remained quite disdainful.
"It seems you still haven't learned your lesson. Even Murasame, a sure-kill blade, couldn't pierce my skin. What good would this ordinary weapon do, even if it's poisoned, it still can't pierce my skin. What use is it then?"
Sure enough, Uchiha Madara's words proved true. The two poisoned, gleaming blue short blades in Akame's hands stabbed into Uchiha Madara's temples, one left and one right.
However, these two ordinary short blades performed even worse than Murasame. When they reached Uchiha Madara's head, they directly snapped with two clinks.
Akame was greatly shocked and paled, but the process of escaping was not finished.
...
In a flurry of ten fingers, Akame once again pulled out two short blades from his bosom. Like the previous two short blades, they were also gleaming blue and poisoned.
Uchiha Madara not only frowned and grumbled:
"This child, when will she learn her lesson?"
What surprised Uchiha Madara was that this time, she clearly chose the right attack location. She held the two poisoned, gleaming blue short blades and directly stabbed towards Uchiha Madara's eyes.
This would not do. For Uchiha Madara, his most valuable assets were these two eyes.
He nodded in admiration. Uchiha Madara quickly extended his hand, still using his middle finger to perform his flicking technique, flicking away the two short blades in Akame's hand with a speed that Akame found impossible to grasp, making two clinking sounds.
This time, the two short blades weren't sent flying. Instead, they were directly flicked into shattered pieces by Uchiha Madara.
In light of this, the fear in Akame's heart grew even greater. Standing in front of Uchiha Madara, he was somewhat unsettled and his gaze was unfocused.
Crossing his left leg over his right, Uchiha Madara looked at Akame in front of him, and asked with interest:
"Little girl, are you scared now? And are you truly scared or just pretending to be scared?"
As soon as these words came out, Akame's expression suddenly changed. Her toes, like a spiritual snake, shot out, and she suddenly launched a straight kick at Uchiha Madara!
At the same time, another sharp blade emerged from the sole of Akame's foot!
