On the stage.
After Lin Ran's maneuver, both Qin Tian and Lu Yuan were severely hit, momentarily unsure whether to continue their attacks.
In that instant of stunned silence, several Treasures rained down, piercing their bodies.
Lin Ran let out a villainous triumphant laugh:
"Don't you know that during a battle, no matter what happens, you should never get distracted?"
"If this were a battlefield, you would already be nothing but corpses!"
The move he used to dodge Qin Tian and Lu Yuan's attacks was the Kamui's intangibility effect.
The intangibility effect of Kamui was extremely powerful. Without spatial abilities, it was almost akin to invincibility, achieving a pseudo-invincible state.
It had two drawbacks.
The first was that during intangibility, one needed to become tangible to transfer and attack.
However, this only applied to attacks that required physical contact. For attacks like Lin Ran's continuous bombardment with Treasures, the intangibility effect did not need to be canceled.
The second was that Kamui's intangibility could not be used indefinitely; it consumed Kamui energy.
With Lin Ran's current strength, if he maintained intangibility constantly, his Kamui energy would be depleted in about a minute at most.
At that point, he would have to wait for his Kamui energy to recover.
Therefore, Lin Ran toggled the Kamui intangibility on and off when he used it. When he was about to be hit, he would use intangibility to dodge, and after dodging, he would end the intangibility.
This greatly increased his sustainable combat time with Kamui energy.
After all, this wasn't a taxi; there was no starting fare.
As for its other flaw, it couldn't even be considered a weakness.
That was, the principle of intangibility was to transfer one's physical body into the Kamui dimension and project one's phantom image into the main world.
In other words, if others had a way to enter the Kamui dimension, they could directly attack his physical body within it.
This was obviously impossible.
Because Lin Ran's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was entirely in his eyes, not split between two individuals like Kakashi and Obito.
In this world, no one besides him could enter the Kamui dimension.
Overall, this ability was incredibly overpowered, forming a dimensional gap against the people of this world.
Lu Yuan and Qin Tian, who were pinned to the ground by Treasures, had lost their combat ability. However, the other five had not given up.
Foremost among them was Wan Meng, who was engulfed in Amaterasu flames and was at very close range to Lin Ran.
He had not seen Lin Ran's peculiar maneuver of dodging the pincer attack.
Coupled with the searing pain of being burned by Lin Ran, he had completely thrown caution to the wind.
Wan Meng roared, conjuring crimson dragon scales on his body for protection, and charged at Lin Ran once more.
However, as most of his life force had been devoured by Amaterasu, his speed was greatly diminished, and his steps were already unsteady.
Thus, facing his assault, Lin Ran did not dodge. Instead, he reached out to grab him.
ROOM·Command Stick!
Under Lin Ran's spatial manipulation, aided by the Sharingan's superior dynamic vision, he easily disarmed Wan Meng of his Dragon Blade and infused it with the power of "Knights do not die by their own hands."
"Crimson Demonic Dragon, wasn't it?"
Looking at the panicked face of Wan Meng, who had lost his weapon, Lin Ran, feeling playful, taunted him before slashing with the Dragon Blade.
In Lin Ran's hands, the Dragon Blade erupted with even stronger demonic flames and power.
With a single swing, he not only left a deep gash in Wan Meng's abdomen, almost slicing out his kidney.
Crippled by such a heavy blow, Wan Meng finally collapsed to the ground, unable to continue.
To prevent him from being burned to death, Lin Ran retracted the Amaterasu flames with his eyes.
Just then, accompanied by a mist of blood, Li Xuan, wielding a Void Longsword, and Lei Zhan, summoning lightning, attacked.
Wu Huanyu, at the very back, also seemed to have completed his illusion preparations, casting a dim purple glow over the entire arena floor.
"Too weak, you're all too weak..."
"With such meager strength, you're truly disappointing."
"Seeing you bark so arrogantly, I thought you had some capital!"
Lin Ran laughed as he began his counterattack.
Gate of Babylon!
The dozen or so Treasures, which had been firing in various directions, suddenly turned their aim and began to blast Lei Zhan.
Moreover, Lin Ran had infused the edges of these Treasures with a powerful current capable of causing cardiac arrest.
This caught Lei Zhan completely off guard.
To defend himself, he was forced to direct the lightning in his hands towards the approaching Treasures and current.
However, such concentrated firepower from so many Treasures, with an energy density far exceeding Lei Zhan's, was not something mere lightning could block.
*Sputter! Sputter! Zizzle!*
Accompanied by the dull thud of metal piercing flesh, in mere moments, Lei Zhan was riddled with holes and electrocuted until he was charred black.
The lightning that had been flickering in Lei Zhan's hands simultaneously lost its radiance.
However, Lei Zhan's defeat was not entirely in vain, as it bought Li Xuan a moment to reach Lin Ran.
"Void Barrier!"
Li Xuan roared, unleashing his trump card.
A deep blue semi-circular barrier instantly enveloped Lin Ran.
Within this barrier, Lin Ran felt that even the flow of time had slowed considerably, let alone his movements.
However, Li Xuan, who was also within it, appeared unaffected, wielding his longsword to slash at Lin Ran's neck.
Lin Ran let out a cold laugh.
Playing with spatial powers before my Kamui?
Intangibility! Kamui!
Lin Ran first used the intangibility of his right eye to negate the slowing effect of Li Xuan's barrier, then decisively unleashed a Kamui vortex from his left eye.
This Kamui vortex not only completely tore apart Li Xuan's spatial barrier but also twisted his body into a bloody mess.
Now, another participant was eliminated.
As for the remaining blood mist and illusions...
ROOM·Slaughterhouse!
With the power of the Op-Op Fruit, Lin Zhaofan, who had already decomposed into a blood mist, was immediately subjected to molecular reconstruction.
The pervasive blood mist was instantly restored by Lin Ran into Lin Zhaofan's appearance.
Before the fully restored Lin Zhaofan could comprehend the situation, Lin Ran's Amaterasu flames engulfed him in the next instant.
It must be said, Lin Zhaofan had quite the vampiric demeanor.
At least, his "squeaking" noises while being roasted were incredibly reminiscent of a large bat.
And Wu Huanyu, who had prepared for a long time and finally finished his preamble, was dealt with even more simply.
All illusions, in the face of the Sharingan, were mere phantoms.
Magenkyo·Mirror World Reversal!
Tsukuyomi!
First, he reflected Wu Huanyu's intended illusion back onto himself, disorienting his mind.
Then, a mental shock from Tsukuyomi instantly shattered his spirit.
From the audience's perspective, the once lively Wu Huanyu simply fell to the ground inexplicably within a single second.
The only difference from before was that blood was continuously flowing from his eyes, ears, and nostrils.
Thus, the formidable Lu Yuan and his seven companions were all dealt with by Lin Ran with overwhelming force.
And all these fluid movements took just over a minute since the battle began...
Was he competing in speed even on the stage?
