Ryu was supposed to return to their manor but on his way he felt energy fluctuations and one of them belonged to Madara. He was still some distance and the space kept fluctuating so he wasn't able to directly jump there.
By the time he reached the battle was already over but he still saw the last bit from far away. He was surprised to find Madara showing mercy to his opponent so he figured out there was something else.
The others raised their head to see Ryu floating down, Hisoka was with him of course. His aura was reigned in but everyone felt surprised when they sensed him.
" Hey Hisoka, that's way too fast. How did you breakthrough that fast anyway? "
Hisoka who always showed a poker face suddenly crinched. His face kept twitching but still commented.
" Non stop battle."
The rest kind of understood what he meant and refrained from asking further. If even a battle maniac like Hisoka crinched upon that question one could imagine the torture he went through.
Ryu however didn't mind their words, his eyes were focused on the young man before him. He felt a dangerous vibe from this man before him.
" You must be his brother."
The young man didn't hide his killing intent.
" You killed my brother."
" Well yeah, that nut head wanted to make me into a pill."
The young man knew what kind of character his brother had, he was cruel and ruthless. He was always afraid his brother would provoke someone he couldn't afford to provoke, so he sealed him in that dimension.
And yet he still met with misfortune, the young man sighed inside.
" I know what kind of person my brother was but he was still my brother. Thus I can only kill you."
" Heh~ strong words. If you are here to exact revenge then why didn't you kill my friends? "
" They had nothing to do with his death."
Ryu was surprised. It was at this time several words reached his ear, he turned around to face Merlin and the latter nodded.
" You are surprisingly righteous. For that reason alone I won't kill you."
The young man didn't scorn Ryu for his words. This person infront of him maybe just an immortal but he is exceptional like his friend. To be more accurate the young man felt Ryu to be stronger than Madara.
" My name is Luo, King Luo."
" Ryu Uzumaki."
An earth shaking battle was about to erupt so the others cleared themselves. The old man was about to speak but then sighed.
" Lord, please be careful."
The young man nodded. The old man obviously had a great position in his heart.
Ryu flipped his palms, a black sword emerged. The young man's eyes narrowed seeing the sword, he instincts were screaming danger seeing that sword.
Without delay he clenched his palms. Two golden gloves appeared above this hands. Both these gloves stuck to his hand like a second layer of skin.
Ryu felt the glove give off a particular energy and it seemed higher than his sword.
' Immortal grade! '
Unlike his brother, King was a true talent. At such a young age he was able to reach Golden Immortal, and level three at that. Moreover his comprehension was scarily high.
King gazed at Ryu coldly before disappearing. He got above Ryu and punched down.
Ryu felt his body creak as a strange power covered him. He felt his body get sluggish and hard to move.
With no time he brought his sword forward and blocked the incoming attack.
Bang!
Like an artillery he was blown back and crashed into the ground. King wasn't about to give Ryu any room to breathe. He was already in motion of his next attack.
' oh crap! '
Ryu's eyes changed to Chaos.
Boom!
Crushed stones flew everywhere. A huge crater formed where Ryu was. King ignored the destruction he caused and focused his eyes far above him.
Ryu was now standing with his sword unsealed. Myriad things could be seen inscribed on its blade.
" You are far stronger than your brother."
King didn't reply. He squeezed his fist and pulled them back, Ryu again felt King's domain cover him, but this time he used his own and countered.
Chaotic energy danced around Ryu, King's expression faltered for a second. He found his domain absolutely useless against Ryu.
A terrifying energy was condensing above his fist, lightning sparks jumped through his fist from time to time.
Ryu narrowed his eyes and made his move
" Tensa Zangetsu.... Zanka no tachi... Wabisuke....
Ryu's sword first went pitch black then it started to emit black smoke.
King felt his body scream death upon seeing that blade.
' I can't let that thing hit me! '
His expression got serious. His body crackled with lightning, he looked a bit like the Raikage in his lightning coat but tens of times stronger.
Boom!
King punched out. Ryu felt his body receiving a tremendous force, it cut through his energy and was assaulting him directly.
' Smart. He is going for long range attacks.'
Ryu sliced out several times negating any attack that came at him. But he wasn't able to keep up with such large amount of attacks and got cornered.
King kept on punching. His Qi formed small fists with lighting around them and assaulted Ryu. These attacks reached Ryu as soon as he threw them out.
' He must have gained insights into absolute speed of lightning.'
King's hands were blurred the whole time, his Qi was circulating furiously as he attacked Ryu.
Like he expected Ryu was finding it hard to keep up
' Navii, release the ninth seal! '
King's face suddenly hardened. He immediately retreated from where he was.
Slisssshhhhh
A grey ray swept past where he was, slicing through everything, burning everything to nothing.
Ryu jumped out of a cloud of the energy storm and flexed his neck.
" You better take out that thing as well, otherwise you will die."
