"Takaya! Damn it!"
Seeing Takaya Mitohara being cut down by Qingming in one strike, Yamada Shinichi cursed under his breath, then quickly formed hand seals and once again cast a jutsu toward Qingming.
'Lightning Release: Thunder Rope~'
In an instant, a bolt of lightning shot out like a rope, swiftly twisting and winding toward Qingming.
Already aware of the power of Yamada Shinichi's Lightning Release, Qingming certainly wouldn't let it succeed so easily.
With a swift motion, he dodged the incoming Thunder Rope.
However, the Thunder Rope did not dissipate; instead, like a venomous snake, it suddenly changed direction and chased after Qingming once again.
Seeing this, Qingming furrowed his brow, then pushed off the ground with his feet and, in a single breath, changed direction several times.
Even then, he still couldn't shake the Thunder Rope off; it clung to him like a persistent pest, not giving up.
"Hmph!"
Irritated by being chased, Qingming snorted coldly and finally stopped dodging.
Turning his head, he faced the incoming Thunder Rope and swung his long sword.
Just before the sword made contact with the Thunder Rope, he infused a large amount of Wind Release chakra into it, enhancing the blade's sharpness.
Crack!
The sound of cracking lightning echoed as Qingming's sword slightly resisted the Thunder Rope's force before cutting through it.
In the elemental interaction of chakra, wind is a poor conductor of lightning, and Wind Release counters Lightning Release. Additionally, Qingming's chakra output was far higher than Yamada Shinichi's.
Thus, even without using any jutsu or enhancements, Qingming easily cut through what was at least a B-rank technique.
Seeing this, Yamada Shinichi's pupils shrank, clearly shocked that his jutsu was broken so easily.
However, after the shock, he quickly formed hand seals again, using the fastest possible speed to cast another jutsu—'Lightning Release: Double-Headed Wolf!'
Crack!
With the sound of violent thunder, two large thunderwolves, each the size of a full-grown human, appeared.
Seeing the thunderwolves, Yamada Shinichi growled, "Go!"
Immediately, the two thunderwolves surged forward like beasts released from their cages, moving at incredible speed toward Qingming.
The 'Lightning Release: Double-Headed Wolf' technique was essentially an advanced version of the summoning jutsu Yamada Shinichi had used earlier to summon a lightning beast. The beasts were now more defined, taking the shape of wolves and were more agile. Moreover, the number had increased from one to two, greatly increasing their power.
Qingming knew these lightning wolves would explode, so he wasn't about to let them approach him easily.
With that thought, he sheathed his sword and formed hand seals, swiftly casting a jutsu—'Wind Release: Wind Blade!'
Whoosh!
A transparent wind blade shot out, heading directly toward the right thunderwolf.
Without needing to look closely, Qingming confirmed that the thunderwolf had no chance to dodge.
He ignored it and leaped backward to distance himself from the left thunderwolf that was closing in.
Without delay, he formed more hand seals and cast another jutsu—'Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!'
In an instant, a massive shark-shaped projectile formed in front of him, rapidly charging toward the thunderwolf.
Thanks to his Sharingan's enhanced perception, Qingming was able to accurately track the lightning wolf's evasion trajectory. The shark missile clamped down on the wolf, draining its chakra rapidly.
As the process continued, the shark missile grew in size while the thunderwolf shrank.
The result was clear to see.
"Damn it! Explode!"
From a distance, Yamada Shinichi cursed and swiftly changed his hand seals, triggering the self-destruct of the thunderwolf.
In the next instant, a blinding flash of lightning erupted as the thunderwolf exploded. The powerful electrical surge consumed the shark bullet, causing it to vanish.
Indeed, while the 'Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique' could drain chakra to grow larger, it had its limits. Once those limits were surpassed, the jutsu would collapse on its own.
Undoubtedly, the explosion of the thunderwolf surpassed that limit, leading to the jutsu's failure and mutual destruction.
Not only was the first thunderwolf destroyed, but the other was also sliced in half by the giant wind blade Qingming released.
With that, the threat from Yamada Shinichi's lightning beasts was completely eliminated.
Without hesitation, Qingming drew his sword and activated 'Instant Sword Technique', closing the distance with incredible speed.
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light appeared as Qingming swung his sword toward Yamada Shinichi's neck.
Sensing the icy intent of the blade, Yamada Shinichi quickly tilted his head back, narrowly dodging the attack.
Swish!
The blade sliced through the air in front of him, the wind chakra on it tearing through his clothes, leaving a shallow cut on his chest.
Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Yamada Shinichi kicked the ground hard, his body leaning back as he hastily retreated.
Seeing this, Qingming immediately pursued, taking a step forward and swinging his sword toward his chest.
Yamada Shinichi didn't dare face the blow head-on, quickly shifting his body to the side to avoid it.
Once again, Qingming's attack missed, but he wasn't discouraged. He continued his assault, swinging his sword relentlessly as Yamada Shinichi dodged.
For a while, it became a fast-paced back-and-forth exchange.
However, if one looked closely, it was obvious that Qingming was always the aggressor, while Yamada Shinichi was merely trying to evade.
Although Yamada Shinichi was a true jonin, skilled in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and without obvious weaknesses, he found himself completely at a disadvantage in front of Qingming.
As far as ninjutsu went, he had no chance to cast any techniques once Qingming closed in.
As for genjutsu—against Qingming's Sharingan, he couldn't even attempt to cast a genjutsu himself; the best he could do was avoid falling under Qingming's genjutsu.
That left him with taijutsu.
Fortunately, his mastery of Lightning Release allowed him to enhance his reflexes, just enough to keep up with Qingming's speed.
Otherwise, he would have been dead by now.
But even so, things were starting to reach their limit.
After several minutes of intense combat, Qingming had thoroughly analyzed Yamada Shinichi's combat patterns.
Now, all he had to do was rely on his Sharingan's insight to find an opening, and at that point, no matter how much Lightning Release Yamada Shinichi had, he would not be able to match Qingming.
With that thought, Qingming stopped holding back and started his full-on assault.
In an instant, Yamada Shinichi was in a perilous situation.
