--------------------------------------------------------------
The poison mist on the forest battlefield had completely dissipated by now.
However, the four terrifying and horrifying tornadoes were still bearing down with their overwhelming force towards Hanzo, who was at the center!
Connected to the black and heavy clouds in the sky, these tornadoes were massive beyond belief!
Even the towering Salamander, several tens of meters tall, seemed minuscule in comparison.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
The tornadoes were accompanied by numerous crashing noises as they carried countless debris and broken wood.
Faced with this terrifying anomaly ninjutsu, Hanzo's face became extremely serious.
This kind of terrifying opponent... couldn't be stayed with any longer...
Otherwise... it was indeed possible that he might lose his life here...
"Let's go!"
He suddenly whispered.
"Roaring!"
The raging tornadoes wreaked havoc on everything.
The powerful winds completely blew away the poison fog!
The Salamander, which was situated in the midst of the four tornadoes, seemed as if it was going to be torn apart by the violent gusts!
Upon hearing Hanzo's words, the Salamander beneath him abandoned its attempt to gather poison gas and suddenly opened its gigantic mouth, swallowing it all in one gulp.
Then, it leaped to the side!
At this moment, seeing this scene from afar, Sōsuke had a faint smile on his lips and whispered:
"Do you want to use that kind of escape jutsu?"
He gently lifted one palm and aimed it from a considerable distance at the enormous Salamander, which was about to fall to the ground.
"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!"
With these incantations, Sōsuke's palm gathered a dazzling blue lightning aura.
"Crackle! Crackle!"
"Hadō #63. Raikōhō!"
Sōsuke's voice slowly fell, and the terrifying, incredibly destructive bolt of lightning in his hand burst forth.
"Boom!"
With a loud and intense thunderclap!
A massive and sparkling thunder pillar, flashing with countless electric sparks, streaked across the sky and accurately struck the Salamander, which was about to hit the ground!
"Bang!"
Under the impact of the sparkling Thunder Roar Cannon, the colossal Salamander's body toppled backward.
"Bang!"
Its enormous body collapsed onto the ground, raising countless dust and smoke.
The Salamander, struck by the Thunder Roar Cannon, had a charred and burned exterior surface, emitting a smoky darkness. The horrifying injuries rendered it unable to move, and it would likely lose its life very soon.
In its last moments, the colossal Salamander struggled to open its mouth.
Hanzo leaped out from its mouth.
Seeing the Salamander lying on the ground, barely breathing, Hanzo's eyes revealed a hint of sorrow. He spoke in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, old friend. You did your best, and I won't let you sacrifice in vain."
After saying that, he looked coldly at Sōsuke.
At this moment, the four tornadoes, connected to the black cloud-covered sky, had gradually dissipated, and the apocalyptic phenomena had slowly faded away.
The sky gradually brightened.
On the battlefield, facing the killing intent in Hanzo's eyes, Sōsuke seemed as if he hadn't noticed it at all. He still wore the same mild and genteel smile on his face.
He smiled gently and softly said:
"If this guy ran underground, it could be really troublesome, so I had to deal with it first."
"Don't worry, Hanzo-senpai, I'll send you to join it underground soon."
"After all, you two are such good friends, aren't you?"
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Hanzo, with only one arm remaining, had a serious expression and remained silent.
He didn't feel anger because of Sōsuke's words. Instead, he calmly locked eyes with him.
In the forest, which had become a wasteland after the passage of the tornadoes, a gentle breeze blew lightly past the two.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, Hanzo crouched down, and his right palm fiercely struck the ground.
"Fire Release: Explosive Flame Array!"
With his movement, the ground beneath Sōsuke's feet suddenly softened.
Numerous explosive tags jumped out of the softened ground and wrapped around Sōsuke's feet on the surface.
"Swoosh!"
Sōsuke's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant!
"Drip, drip"...
He swiftly rushed towards Hanzo, wielding the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon," with sharp blades glinting in the light.
Facing Sōsuke charging towards him, Hanzo's face was tense but showed no fear. He quickly reached behind and pulled out a sickle-and-chain axe, rushing forward with an unstoppable force.
"Physical Jutsu: Chain Sickle Two-Stage Strike!"
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"...
His sickle-and-chain axe continually swung, creating sharp sounds as it cut through the air. The two rapidly closed the gap between them.
Several dazzling blade flashes gleamed through the forest in an instant.
"Splurt!"
Sōsuke's abdomen was slashed open, a massive wound opening, and crimson blood splattered instantly.
Seeing this, Hanzo's face relaxed slightly.
Just then,
"Splurt!"
A snow-white blade suddenly pierced through his heart from behind.
"Hanzo-senpai, it seems you were always under my genjutsu and never escaped, didn't you?"
"But, young one, don't get too conceited!"
"As a veteran of the ninja world, I'll give you one final lesson before dying!"
Hanzo said this and suddenly made hand seals with his remaining right arm.
"Fire Release: Thousand Flame Sealing Array!"
As his words fell suddenly, the land they stood on, within a radius of dozens of meters, suddenly shimmered with blinding lights from thousands of explosive tags that appeared out of nowhere.
"Bang!" "Boom!" "Crack!"...
In an instant, numerous fierce explosions resounded!
The ground where they stood was almost instantly blasted into a pit hundreds of meters wide!
Hanzo's face didn't display any surprise; instead, he used his last ounce of strength to speak with a solemn tone.
"Indeed, I've been trapped in your genjutsu all along, haven't I..."
"But, young one, don't become too arrogant!"
"As a senior in the ninja world, I'll give you one final lesson before I die!"
Seeing this, Hanzo suddenly formed hand seals with his remaining right arm.
"Fire Release: Thousand Flame Sealing Array!"
As he uttered these words, Sosuke Aizen's pupils also suddenly contracted!
Underneath their feet, the surface spanning tens of meters in diameter began to gleam with blinding light from the thousands of explosive tags that had appeared at some unknown time.
"Bang!" "Boom!" "Crackle!"...
In an instant, numerous violent explosions resounded!
The ground beneath the two of them was almost instantly transformed into a massive crater hundreds of meters wide!
BOOM!
A violent cloud of smoke and dust billowed out in an instant, rolling outwards in all directions!
Not far away, Saki stared with wide eyes at this scene, displaying a shocked expression filled with concern.
Captain Aizen!!!
At that moment, a figure suddenly leaped out from within that massive white cloud of smoke.
Seeing this figure, Saki immediately rushed forward.
Captain Aizen!!!
Seeing Sosuke Aizen's condition, Saki couldn't help but exclaim. Sosuke Aizen's right sleeve had been burned to black ash by the scorching shockwave, and his entire right side was marred by the violent explosive flames!
But that wasn't all; within his injuries, there was also the insidious black pepper fish poison that had been concealed within Hanzo's body. Because of these injuries, an aura of terror radiated from him.
At this moment, Sosuke Aizen, with his body half-bent and breathing heavily, looked at the vast crater before him. He realized that Hanzo had cleverly calculated, intending to take his own life and futilely attempt to bring Aizen down with him.
This demi-god...
He's truly an incredible ninja...
Sosuke Aizen then slightly straightened his body. Despite the horrifying extent of his injuries, he displayed little concern. Instead, he lightly chuckled as he looked at Saki's worried expression.
"It seems... I got a bit careless, didn't I? Almost lost my life there..."
