I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Just a lowly creature..."

Isshiki still retained that cold and contemptuous voice, and then his body reacted.

On the shoulder that was hit by Ye Lan's sharp blade, several black stick-like objects suddenly emerged, as if they had grown out of flesh and blood, and spread rapidly. Not only that, the palm of his hand holding the sharp blade was also covered with black sticks, and he suddenly exerted force at a strange angle, forcibly deflecting Ye Lan's sharp blade.

Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Yishi quickly distanced himself and retreated like a ghost. When Ye Lan readjusted his posture, the wounds on Yishi's body had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, without even a trace of scar left.

He stared at Ye Lan coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "An inferior creature like you will never be able to hurt me."

Ye Lan's eyes remained calm, like a bottomless lake. He slowly raised the blade in his hand, his voice cold and firm.

"Regeneration ability? Then I will chop you up until you can no longer regenerate."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Lan suddenly jumped up. But Yishi was not someone who would sit still and wait for death. He waved his palm quickly, and several tiny black sticks shot out from his fingertips, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

Since it is impossible to shrink Ye Lan’s weapon, then shrink your own weapon and launch an attack in a more covert way.

What Yishi didn't expect was that the black sticks that had been invincible were bounced back the moment they touched Ye Lan's armor, as if they had hit an invisible barrier. Ye Lan didn't even look at the black sticks, as if they were just insignificant dust.

Yishi's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. But at this moment, Ye Lan had already approached him, and the sharp blade slashed down with a sharp cold light. Yishi quickly pulled out a black stick and held it horizontally in front of him to block.

The crisp sound of metal collision reverberated in the air, producing visible fluctuations. The moment the weapons of both sides crossed, Yishi felt an unrivaled force coming from the black stick. His arms trembled slightly, and he was even more shocked in his heart. His own strength was completely suppressed.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Yishi subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Ye Lan's sharp blade suddenly exerted force, and the black stick was cut off in an instant, and the broken end was as smooth as a mirror. Yishi was forced to retreat again, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Ye Lan did not give Yishi any chance to breathe. His figure chased him relentlessly like a ghost, as if he had already locked onto Yishi's every move.

Yishi gritted his teeth and dodged quickly, trying to distance himself. But Ye Lan's attack was like a violent storm, and each blow was powerful enough to crush Yishi, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Perhaps realizing that it was difficult to escape Ye Lan's pursuit here, it suddenly activated the chakra in its body and suddenly took off into the air. Its speed was extremely fast, like a rocket launched straight into the sky.

Ye Lan sneered and followed without hesitation. The two figures left two afterimages in the air and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The spectators on the ground looked up and could only see two blurry shadows rising higher and higher, and finally disappearing completely above the clouds.

When their figures became clear again, they had already reached an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Looking down from here, the outline of the blue planet could already be seen, and the vast land and the boundless ocean intertwined into a magnificent picture.

At this moment, the two had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. In their eyes, there was only each other and the murderous intent of fighting for life and death.

High in the sky, the air is so thin that it is almost impossible to breathe, and the temperature is low enough to freeze all life. The oxygen content here is simply not enough to support ordinary humans.

But what shocked Yishi was that Ye Lan's attack was not affected at all. His movements were still swift and fierce, as if he was not restricted by the environment at all.

"I admit that you are not an inferior creature." Isshiki's voice echoed in the sky with a rare solemnity.

His eyes were fixed on Ye Lan, and there was even a hint of appreciation in his tone: "You are qualified to follow our Otsutsuki clan. I can be your introducer and help you escape from these inferior beings and stand at the pinnacle of the universe with us."

In Isshiki's opinion, creatures that can survive alone in space are no longer "inferior". The strength and adaptability shown by Ye Lan are enough to earn him recognition from the Otsutsuki clan. However, his words still carry a sense of superiority, as if this is a kind of charity rather than an equal invitation.

Ye Lan sneered, without any pause for the sharp blade in his hand, he continued to move forward with fierce murderous intent.

"Humph, you cosmic bandits are still speaking such arrogant words. Your arrogance will only accelerate your demise."

Yishi's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Ye Lan to reject him so straightforwardly. He dodged quickly, but Ye Lan's attack followed him like a shadow, not giving him a chance to breathe. At the moment when Yishi was slightly exhausted, Ye Lan seized the opportunity and swung the sharp blade in his hand suddenly, cutting off Yishi's left hand at the shoulder.

"Ah!" Isshiki let out a low roar, covering his broken wound and retreating rapidly. However, there was not much pain on his face. His broken wound began to wriggle violently, and the flesh and blood regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, a brand new arm grew out again.

"Stupid guy," Isshiki said coldly, with sarcasm and threat in his tone.

"You don't understand how powerful the Otsutsuki clan is. I am just an ordinary member of the Otsutsuki clan, but you have already used up all your strength. There are countless races in the universe who want to follow us, but they don't even have a chance. Even if you defeat me today, the Lord will send a more powerful Otsutsuki clan. By then, your fate will only be death!"

Ye Lan's eyes were as cold as ice, his hands tightly grasped the sword, the sword body trembled slightly, as if responding to his inner fighting spirit. His voice was low and firm, with unshakable determination: "So what? If I can kill you, I can kill the second one. You are only the first Otsutsuki clan member I killed, but you will definitely not be the last."

As he finished speaking, the natural energy between heaven and earth seemed to have received some kind of call and began to gather towards him madly.

The natural energy of the planet under Ye Lan's feet surged like a tide, turning into countless brilliant streams of light, entwining around his sword. The sword was gradually enveloped by dazzling light, like a star about to explode, emitting a brilliant brilliance that was too dazzling to look at directly.

Then, the light suddenly burst out and rushed straight into the sky. Its brightness even surpassed that of the stars, and it drew a dazzling beam of light in the dark universe, as if it was going to tear the entire universe apart. The end of the light disappeared into the endless void, as if there was no limit, and even the galaxies in the distance could see the light at this moment.

Ye Lan knew that there was only one way to kill the Otsutsuki clan, and that was to completely annihilate all of their cells and spirits in an instant, leaving no trace. In the past, perhaps no one could do this, but at this moment, Ye Lan was extremely sure that he could do it.

Yishi stared at Ye Lan, the arrogance on his face gradually replaced by solemnity. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the shadow of death was approaching him. His pupils shrank slightly, and his voice was trembling with an undisguised tremor: "You...what kind of monster are you?"

Ye Lan smiled coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "So you are afraid too. But when did I ever say that I have used all my strength?"

His voice was calm, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Isshiki's heart hard. An indescribable fear surged in Isshiki's heart, and he finally realized that he was not just facing a powerful enemy, but an existence that was completely beyond his cognition.

Ye Lan's figure appeared extremely tall in the light, like a god of war from ancient times. His sword blade slowly raised, and the light became more and more dazzling, as if it was going to swallow up the entire universe.

"It's over." Ye Lan murmured in a low voice.

The next moment, his sword swung down suddenly. The light that pierced the sky shrank instantly, turning into an extreme blade of light, slashing straight forward. Wherever the blade of light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, and time also stopped.

Isshiki wanted to dodge, but found that his body had been completely locked by the terrifying force and could not move at all. He could only watch the light blade approaching, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

"Do not--!"

The blade of light fell, and Isshiki's body was devoured in an instant. Its cells, spirit, and even its existence were completely annihilated at this moment, turning into nothingness.

Ye Lan slowly retracted his sword, the light gradually dissipated, and the universe returned to silence. He stood high in the sky, his eyes glancing around coldly, as if announcing the arrival of a new era.
