At this moment, the battlefield was chaotic.
Over here, Qingming had just killed a Mist Ninja, when several more Mist Ninjas immediately charged at him.
Looking at the people in front of him, Qingming furrowed his brows slightly.
It wasn't that these individuals were particularly strong.
On the contrary, their condition was quite poor, with two of them even wrapped in bandages, clearly injured.
To be honest, Qingming usually wouldn't attack the wounded unless absolutely necessary.
However, on a battlefield where it was kill or be killed, there was no room for mercy.
So, without hesitation, he used his 'Instant Sword Technique,' closing the distance with one of the injured Mist Ninjas at a near-instantaneous speed.
This particular Mist Ninja was only a Chunin to begin with, and in Qingming's presence, he was no match at all. Now, injured, his fate was sealed.
With a "slicing" sound, before the Mist Ninja could even react, Qingming swiftly cut through his carotid artery.
Blood spurted out.
Qingming immediately retreated to avoid the blood.
At that moment, the remaining Mist Ninjas threw their Kunai toward him.
However, Qingming merely swept his gaze over them and immediately locked onto the trajectories of the flying Kunai.
In the next instant, his body glowed again, and he once again used 'Instant Sword Technique' to dodge the Kunai and appear next to another injured Mist Ninja.
Having learned from the previous one's experience, this Mist Ninja at least managed to react, but he only blocked the first strike. Qingming faked a move and then swiftly decapitated him.
Upon witnessing this, the other Mist Ninjas' expressions soured.
But Qingming didn't care about their thoughts. After killing this injured Mist Ninja, his steps didn't falter as he moved on, reappearing in front of the third Mist Ninja.
Swish~
The cold blade flashed.
Qingming swung his sword directly at this Mist Ninja.
Clang~
A crisp metallic sound rang out.
This Mist Ninja managed to react in time, raising his Kunai to block the blade just before it struck him.
Seeing this, Qingming was about to pull back and strike again.
However, at that moment, a nearby Mist Ninja threw his Kunai, aiming directly at Qingming's neck.
Sensing the danger, Qingming turned his head.
Their eyes met, and Qingming immediately cast his 'Genjutsu: Sharingan,' freezing the Mist Ninja in place, trapping him in a genjutsu.
Although the Mist Ninja was now trapped in the illusion, he had at least provided Qingming the opportunity to deal with the other enemy.
This particular Mist Ninja was experienced and immediately pushed Qingming's long sword away, then swung his Kunai toward Qingming's neck.
Sensing the sharpness of the Kunai, Qingming had no hesitation, immediately using the tip of his feet to push off the ground, retreating at incredible speed.
The attack missed, but this Mist Ninja didn't try to pursue. Instead, he tried to break the genjutsu and help his companion.
However, just then, two shuriken suddenly flew at him.
Almost instinctively, he swung his Kunai to block the incoming shuriken. The sound of clashing metal echoed as the shuriken were deflected.
Huff... Huff...
Watching the shuriken he deflected, Yoshinoji felt a sense of dread, taking a few deep breaths.
However, in that moment of relaxation, a sound like a blade sinking into flesh came from behind.
His expression froze, and he quickly turned to see that his companion, who had been caught in Qingming's genjutsu, now had a shuriken embedded in his throat.
Suffocating, the Mist Ninja broke free from the genjutsu but could only clutch his throat, looking desperately at Yoshinoji.
Soon, he fell to the ground, lifeless.
Seeing this, Yoshinoji felt as if the effort he had just spent blocking the incoming attack was nothing more than a joke.
He quickly turned to Qingming.
Not far away, Qingming remained expressionless.
Indeed, it was Qingming who had launched that attack.
Just moments ago, he had been forced to retreat after Yoshinoji's Kunai aimed for his neck. During his retreat, Qingming had thrown three shuriken—two were obvious, and one was hidden behind the others.
While Yoshinoji had relied on his combat instincts to block the two visible shuriken, he had failed to stop the hidden one, the most lethal of the three.
As a result, the Mist Ninja had died.
Though it may seem like this all took a while, it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, a Mist Ninja in the distance completed his hand seals and finally unleashed the ninjutsu he had been preparing for a long time.
Crackling~
Two long lightning whips shot out from the Mist Ninja's hand, flying directly at Qingming.
Seeing this, Qingming's eyes lit up.
But then he shook his head.
The reason was simple: he had not yet developed lightning-style chakra and could not replicate this technique. Otherwise, he would have surely copied it.
This technique not only had rapid attack speed, but also had a controlling effect, which was something he lacked in his current arsenal. If he could learn it, it would perfectly complement his weaknesses.
"Such a shame."
He muttered, then jumped back several paces to avoid the lightning whips.
When he had mentioned the speed of the technique earlier, it was in comparison to regular ninjas. In his Sharingan vision, the attack speed was manageable.
Therefore, Qingming easily dodged the attack.
However, the lightning whips remained in the Mist Ninja's hands, and Qingming knew it was dangerous to get too close.
Realizing this, Qingming quickly sheathed his sword and began forming hand seals at an astonishing speed, performing the jutsu—Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!
Woosh~
Flames burst from his mouth, instantly forming three fire dragons.
Two of the fire dragons were under Qingming's control, charging toward the lightning whips, while the third one attacked the Mist Ninja.
Seeing the three fire dragons charging toward him, Kojima Shinrai's expression grew tense. He retreated while simultaneously trying to fend off the incoming lightning whips.
There was no clear elemental weakness between lightning and fire, but Qingming was far more skilled at controlling Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique. Additionally, he had put more chakra into this technique than usual.
In just one exchange, the two lightning whips were destroyed by the fire dragons.
Though the fire dragons suffered some damage, they didn't collapse, and Qingming controlled them as they, along with the third fire dragon, charged at the Mist Ninja.
Unfortunately, the distance was still a bit too far. With the lightning whips blocking the way, Kojima Shinrai managed to dodge the fire dragons, causing them to miss.
Qingming immediately planned to follow up with Wind Style: Wind Blade to continue the attack.
But just then, Yoshinoji launched another strike.
Although he was saddened by the loss of his comrade, Yoshinoji wasn't demoralized. Instead, he was filled with even more determination to kill Qingming and avenge his fallen teammate.
Seeing Yoshinoji's attack coming, Qingming showed no hesitation and met him head-on.
As they closed in, Qingming drew his longsword with a sharp sound, and as the two collided, he swung his sword.
Clang~
A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out as Kunai and Qingming's longsword met, creating sparks.
