Undoubtedly, the one to strike at this moment, and whose strike would be a sure kill, was only Akame.
When Uchiha Madara was dealing with Lubba, did he not notice Akame, who was hidden and lurking?
With Uchiha Madara's current mastered Kagura's Mind's Eye perception, no matter how powerful or profound Akame's stealth was, he could absolutely sense him.
And in fact, ever since Akame disappeared from Uchiha Madara's sight, Uchiha Madara had already been on guard.
And Akame's subsequent stealth and lurking were always watched by Uchiha Madara, only to suddenly strike at this critical moment.
The extremely sharp Murasame, carrying its matching terrifying curse, slashed fiercely at Uchiha Madara's left eye in Akame's hand.
A muffled sound. Akame was stunned.
It was as if she was 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, if a hit failed, 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 divine figure, was even faster.
Before Akame could even pack his bag, Uchiha Madara sat 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 thick nerves, at this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"How can this be? 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 snap, 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, effortlessly 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!
Speaking of Akame, she was indeed a professional assassin. She could even think of hiding a blade under the sole of her foot.
This sharp blade on her sole, under Akame's extremely fast kick, was still gleaming blue and poisoned, stabbing towards Uchiha Madara's left eye.
This little trick was still no match for Uchiha Madara.
As she neared, Uchiha Madara, with lightning speed, directly extended his hand and grabbed Akame's ankle, preventing Akame's foot and the poisoned sharp blade on her sole from advancing a single step.
With her foot and leg controlled by Uchiha Madara, Akame tightly supported herself on one leg, maintaining her kicking posture. This leg, which had kicked out, could not move forward. When she tried to pull it back, it was also tightly held by Uchiha Madara. Her face was contorted, clearly indicating that the current situation was very bad.
Gripping Akame's ankle, Uchiha Madara slightly "897" smiled, and with immense force, he ruthlessly and unreasonably directly sent the relatively slender Akame flying, sending her tumbling head over heels!
Akame's body was completely out of control. She screamed as she flew through the air, flailing her limbs, and then brutally crashed to the ground. This fall left Akame completely broken.
Well, Akame was considered a surprise assassin in Night Raid. Now, Akame was temporarily dealt with.
Clapping his hands, Uchiha Madara looked at Najeshtan over there.
Susanoo, who had just been burned black and had muscle damage by Uchiha Madara's Great Fire Annihilation, now had new muscle tissue growing on him and was slowly healing.
But what was strange was that Bulat was nowhere to be found.
Bulat's Imperial Arms transformed into full-body armor. It had protected Bulat's body very well just now, so Bulat hadn't suffered from the intense burning flames. The question then was, where was Bulat now?
Actually, Uchiha Madara, who understood the function of their Imperial Arms abilities quite well, didn't need to activate his Mind's Eye of Kagura's perception. He could guess what Bulat was doing.
Of course, just in case, he still activated his Sharingan to take a closer look.
He didn't need to activate the so-called Mangekyo Sharingan; just a Three-Tomoe Sharingan was enough.
A blood-red light appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes. Three black tomoe rotated clockwise, displaying the profundity and mystery of Uchiha Madara and the Sharingan.
With his blood-red Sharingan, Uchiha Madara looked around.
Indeed, he saw Bulat in his invisible state to his left.
Bulat's Imperial Arms, Demon Armor: Incursio, allowed him to become invisible when he fully manifested it as armor covering his entire body. Now, Bulat himself was using this invisibility ability, attempting to ambush Uchiha Madara from his side, trying to land a sure-kill blow.
However, just as Bulat quietly moved to Uchiha Madara's left side, he saw Uchiha Madara suddenly turn his head to look at him, his blood-red Three-Tomoe Sharingan staring fixedly at him.
Seeing these two three-tomoe Sharingan eyes in front of him, especially the three black tomoe rotating in the Sharingan, Bulat's heart began to pound, and even his scalp tingled.
Could it be that Uchiha Madara actually saw himself?
As if confirming Bulat's thought, Uchiha Madara nodded at him.
Instantly, all the hairs on Bulat's body stood on end. His large red spear pointed at Uchiha Madara. Because of the pounding in Bulat's heart, the tip of this large red spear was also trembling slightly, and it was no longer as stable as before.
Looking at the slightly trembling spear before him, Uchiha Madara shook his head:
"Bulat, with your current mental fortitude, it's impossible for you to defeat me."
Since he had been discovered, Bulat no longer bothered to pretend. He instantly withdrew from his invisible state, appearing before Uchiha Madara. The large spear in his hand still pointed at Uchiha Madara, his voice firm:
"Whether I can defeat you, only by fighting will I know!"
These words actually pleased Uchiha Madara. He glanced at the proud Bulat, and he nodded in great agreement:
"Well said, and it's enough to make me happy. Since that's the case, Bulat, I shall graciously give you a chance to challenge me."
As he spoke, a wooden plank slowly emerged from Uchiha Madara's side.
This wooden plank drilled out, jumped to Uchiha Madara's side, and instantly transformed into Uchiha Madara's own appearance.
That's right, it was Uchiha Madara's Wood Clone.
However, this strange clone ability, in the eyes of people in this world, was incredibly unbelievable.
Bulat in front of him was already dumbfounded, Najeshtan over there was also dumbfounded, and as for Susanoo, who was still recovering from his injuries on the ground, and Akame, who was beaten to a pulp, and Lubba, who was buried in the earth, not to mention those two.
Seeing this situation, Bulat hurriedly and warily confronted Uchiha Madara's Wood Clone.
Najeshtan stepped forward, nervously questioning Uchiha Madara:
"You even have the ability to create clones!?"
Uchiha Madara nodded as a matter of course:
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Najeshtan suddenly erupted in anger:
"This is simply cheating! You can arbitrarily create clones to deal with us, while your main body can sit there calmly, even watching with relish. This is too unfair to us! You just promised us to get off your seat, this is a scam!"
Huh? If Najeshtan said that, thinking about it, it did seem a bit unfair, didn't it?!
Uchiha Madara was greatly enlightened and nodded, promising everyone in Night Raid:
"It does seem a little unfair. How about this, I'll only split this one clone today, and this clone will only have one-tenth of my strength. It will only deal with Bulat alone, only using martial arts, and no other abilities. How about it?"
"Really?"
"Really! Then, clone, I'll entrust you to go play with Bulat."
Uchiha Madara's last words were to his Wood Clone. The Wood Clone also responded instantly:
"No problem, main body, just relax. Watch me beat this gay guy into poop!"
As his words fell, the Wood Clone directly kicked out, sending Bulat flying far, far away. Fortunately, they were fighting in the distance...
