Naruto: Start with three magatama and cultivate Kushina

Chapter 657 Fear of the Sword Greater Than Fear of Man, The Silent Gods

The battle did not last long. Due to a moment of carelessness, the Fire God Kasikō was able to seize the opportunity and pierce the heart with a single blow.

Just when Liu Yun thought the outcome was decided, he saw the dying Vulcan suddenly grab the Kusanagi Sword, and a large number of orange-red flame marks spread across his body.

The moment Liu Yun saw these flame marks, he immediately realized that the other party was planning a final, desperate attack!

He had seen this kind of flame mark on another son of the fire god, namely Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi!

He even lost his life under those flame marks back then, but fortunately he used the Rinnegan eye technique to withstand that killing move.

When Liu Yun realized the danger, he suddenly slashed upwards with the Kusanagi sword in his hand. In an instant, the incredibly sharp sword cut open the area from Kashiko's heart to his head, and hot divine blood gushed out. Kashiko was killed on the spot by Liu Yun.

The fire god at the peak of the True God Realm had just died, and the flame mark on his body immediately stopped spreading. Then, he suddenly spewed out an extremely hot divine fire that was enough to burn down the space!

Liu Yun retreated at full speed in an instant, but even though he was moving at his maximum speed, the extreme heat inside the barrier still affected him...

Even though the Seeking the Dao Jade appeared just in time and covered his entire body, Liu Yun still had an entire layer of skin and flesh melted away by that terrifyingly high temperature!

Fortunately, the injury was not fatal to him. A second later, he shed his almost overripe body like a snake shedding its skin, and his whole body was renewed with vitality.

"The power of that final strike had reached the level of a god, not even much weaker than that Sun God Fire Talisman. Even in its dying moments, it wanted to drag me down to the underworld with it. Fighting these guys, even with an advantage, you can't be careless..."

Liu Yun silently reminded himself.

The fact that the fire god died quickly does not mean he was weak; he was clearly stronger than the water god!

He just hadn't expected that Liu Yun's sealing fire seal could instantly break his elemental transformation ability. In a moment of carelessness, the swift Kusanagi Sword pierced directly into his heart. Even if Kashiko wanted to regret it, it was too late...

"Dead...dead...Lord Kasyapa...died in battle!"

"This is the offspring of Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto!"

"He died from the divine weapon in the slightest carelessness, without even being able to use his last trump card. What a pity..."

The gods gasped in astonishment, many unable to believe such a terrible outcome. Meanwhile, the Izumo Kingdom, after a brief moment of surprise, erupted in deafening cheers and exclamations of admiration.

"The mighty General is truly awe-inspiring!"

"Slaying two peak True God Realm experts in a row, invincible! This is true invincibility!"

"General Shenwei's divine might is unparalleled! An invincible being in the True God Realm! He is the pride of our entire Izumo Kingdom!!!"

All the spectators from Izumo were incredibly excited, showering them with flattery one after another. Even Susanoo, the leader of Izumo, couldn't help but clap and cheer for Ryuun, his admiration and pride clearly visible in his eyes.

Liu Yun did not respond to this. After emerging from the Seeking Truth Jade, he first used his divine power to take away the corpse of the Fire God in front of all the gods. Then, he faced the gods again and issued his third challenge:

"Let's continue... Who dares to fight me again?"

When Ryuun said this, not only did the areas of Takamagahara and Ashihara fall silent, but even the area of ​​Izumo was shocked by Ryuun's audacity.

After defeating two peak True God Realm experts in succession and achieving complete victory, this Divine Might General still wanted to challenge a third expert of the same level. He was not afraid of the enemy's gauntlet attack at all!

"General, why don't you rest for a bit? Let's have one last battle..."

"Yes, General, you've slain two formidable enemies, so you're probably not in top form. Take a rest first, and you can fight again next month..."

Several True God Realm experts from Izumo Kingdom offered kind words of advice, fearing that Liu Yun might accidentally fall in the final match... After all, fighting two matches in a row would undoubtedly be extremely taxing on him...

Unfortunately, Liu Yun, who was inside the barrier, raised his palm without turning his head, an action that immediately interrupted their advice.

"Let our mighty general fight to his heart's content! Those two guys in front were just warming up for him. This kid won't stop until he gets three consecutive wins!"

Susanoo spoke up at the right moment, and then burst into laughter. As soon as he laughed, the entire Izumo Kingdom was filled with deafening laughter.

Compared to the smug laughter of Izumo Province, the people of Ashihara Province and Takamagahara Province showed no sign of amusement. The two leaders, Nyanuki-no-Mikoto and Amaterasu-no-Omikami, had the most unpleasant expressions.

The fire god Kasyapa died too quickly and too hastily, so much so that they didn't even have time to decide which deity to send into battle.

The two leaders remained silent, and even the gods with True God-level strength dared not step forward to fight...

The example of the God of Fire is still fresh in everyone's mind; such a powerful being was killed with a single sword strike... The terrifying power of the ancient artifacts far exceeded the imagination of the gods.

What many gods fear is not actually the human's strength, but rather the Kusanagi sword in Liu Yun's hand!

Normally, powerful beings at the True God Realm are not so easy to kill, after all, they have already transcended the limitations of mortal bodies and become true immortal gods!

Liu Yun was able to win with a single blow, which was indeed due to the divine power of the Kusanagi Sword. Otherwise, even if he wanted to defeat two peak True God Realm cultivators in a row, it would have been impossible for him to do so so easily!

Amaterasu and Nyanuki-no-Mikoto always believed that the most difficult thing to deal with right now was the sword, not people... That's why they sent the gods of water and fire to fight, thus avoiding directly facing the sharp edge of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

Unfortunately, the final result was still failure. Liu Yun's abilities were extraordinary, and he had many tricks up his sleeve. After cooperating with the Kusanagi Sword, his combat power was almost on par with those true masters!

The two leaders couldn't decide which true god to send to fight...

They instinctively looked at the Ice Goddess - Yukino Hyouhime. This incredibly powerful goddess was indeed a formidable opponent, but she had already narrowly won one match, and according to the unspoken rules, she didn't need to risk her life again...

Most importantly, she herself was unwilling to step forward, even though Liu Yun had already asked and shouted for the third time on the battlefield...

Facing the gazes of the gods, the Ice Goddess took a deep breath and closed her eyes... seemingly having no intention of going on stage at all.

She needs to take responsibility for her own life, and in her view, this battle is one that absolutely cannot be fought again!

Putting aside the fact that she would almost certainly die by the Kusanagi Sword if she lost, let's just say that if she were to miraculously win this second battle and kill the only two great generals of Izumo...

Could Susanoo, the 'most powerful god,' spare her? And could Takamagahara truly protect her?

Whether they win or lose, they will both die. How could the Ice and Snow Goddess dare to act rashly and accept this battle now?
