Chapter 209 Explosion and Counterattack

Qingming's move was too fast and too sudden.

Not only did Shou fail to react, but even his teammates around him failed to react and failed to cooperate.

As a last resort, Qingming had to finish off the enemy himself.

However, as he predicted, before the Sharingan was upgraded to the Mangekyō, even if his 'Genjutsu Sharingan' was perfected and released instantly, it would not be able to trap a jonin for a long time.

And if this jonin is mentally prepared and has extraordinary strength, he will be even more impossible to trap.

Coincidentally, Kari is such a Jonin.

Then you see, after just a moment of distraction, he broke free from the illusion.

At this moment, Qing Ming had just arrived in front of him and stabbed out the dagger in his hand.

At the critical moment, Shou grabbed Qingming's dagger.

Then, Qingming heard a "boom" and a powerful chakra burst out from Shou's palm, and his dagger exploded into countless pieces at this moment.

Holding the bare hilt of the sword, Qing Ming looked confused.

To be honest, he had never encountered such a situation before. The main weapons were destroyed before the battle officially started.

Seeing that Qingming looked like he was doubting his life, Shou didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw the dagger fragments in his palm towards Qingming's face.

Then, he took a step forward and came closer to Qingming.

Then, he clenched his left hand into a fist, and explosive chakra surged out, wrapped around his fist, and then smashed hard into Qingming's abdomen.

If this hit, Qingming would at least be seriously injured.

Fortunately, although Qing Ming was stunned for a moment because his dagger was destroyed, his attention was still on the other party.

Therefore, the moment the opponent threw out the dagger fragment, he activated his Sharingan with all his strength and saw his subsequent series of actions clearly.

This naturally includes the opponent's punch that made a feint to the east and attacked in the west.

Qingming ignored the dagger fragments flying towards him, stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and dodged to the left with all his strength, causing Shou's punch to hit the air.

Despite this, Qing Ming was still knocked back two steps by the shock wave from his fist.

Obviously, even if it hits the air, the explosive escape can still have a certain effect, which makes Qingming even more afraid of it.

On the other side, without waiting for Qingming to stand firm, Shou stepped forward again, clenched his fists, and struck Qingming left and right, hitting various parts of his body.

Not only that, he also learned from his previous lesson and no longer looked directly into Qingming's eyes, even though this would reduce the accuracy of his attack.

But
With Explosive Release in hand, he doesn't need to worry about accuracy. As long as he makes sure the attack can hit Qing Ming, it doesn't matter where he attacks.

In fact, it is true.

Facing the opponent's attack that was like a turtle punch, Qing Ming had to dodge and didn't dare to let the opponent touch him at all.

Not only that, the special nature of the explosive escape also made him dare not confront the opponent head-on, for fear that if he was not careful, his fist would be shattered by the opponent.

This was the first time Qingming was forced to this point.

It's not that it's dangerous, with the three-magatama Sharingan that has evolved to the limit, such a 'slow' attack can't threaten him, the key is that it's frustrating!
The feeling of being beaten and not being able to fight back is not a pleasant one.

So, after dodging more than a dozen punches in succession, Qingming took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag.

This time, he was no longer completely defenseless.

With the powerful insight brought by the Sharingan, he could completely take advantage of the gaps between the opponent's attacks and counterattack with kunai, and the battle finally changed from one-sided to mutual fighting. At the same time, the Konoha Jonin who was traveling with him did not just stand there and watch. He had already appeared in front of the other Iwagakure, trying his best to stop them from getting close.

That’s right, because of this delay, the Rock Ninjas behind had already caught up.

Qing Ming took the time to glance at the battle over there. He was outnumbered alone, and although he could move around, as the battle continued, defeat was only a matter of time.

'It can't be delayed any longer.'

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming ducked to avoid Shou's punch, then found the right opportunity and stabbed out the kunai in his hand, aiming directly at the opponent's heart.

Only such a fatal weakness can force them to return to defense.

As expected, sensing the danger, Shou immediately retracted his fist and dodged.

Seeing this, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all. He spread out his left hand, and a high-density chakra ball appeared in his palm.

It is the Unmatched Ninjutsu - Rasengan.

After performing this technique, Qing Ming did not pause. He stretched out his left hand forward and pressed the "Rasengan" in his palm directly towards Shou's chest and abdomen.

Feeling the strong sense of crisis coming from him, Shou did not dare to be careless at all. He stepped back again and avoided the attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingming also flew back, away from the hunter, while quickly forming seals with his hands, and finally condensed a transparent wind blade between his palms.

This was not any other ninjutsu, but the advanced ninjutsu he copied from Ohara Hideji - Wind Style: Wind Blade.

After these days of practice, his level has reached nearly level 5, and Qingming can perform it with ease at this time.

This kind of ninjutsu with fast speed, high attack power and strong concealment is perfect for dealing with hunting at this time.

As expected, Shou did not notice his intention to attack at the first time because he did not dare to look at him directly.

It was not until he rushed forward again and was about to continue fighting Qingming in close combat that he realized the danger and quickly dodged.

Finally, the wind blade scratched his arm, leaving a deep scar on his left arm that was visible to the bone.

Qing Ming refused to give in and continued to distance himself from him. He quickly formed seals with his hands, opened his mouth and spit out a huge fireball.

It is the Uchiha clan's iconic ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Feeling the rolling heat wave coming from the front, Shou immediately dodged the attack with a side dive.

Boom~
The fireball exploded, and the scorching hot flames quickly spread around along with the shock wave, forcing Shou to dodge repeatedly.

With this crucial interruption, it was impossible for the other party to get close again, and Qingming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, it’s time for him to fly a kite.

Without worrying about the consumption of chakra, Qingming formed seals with his hands and performed the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique', 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique', 'Fire Poison: Dragon Fire Technique', and 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' in succession at a dazzling speed.

During this time, he would occasionally throw a few shurikens or kunai with explosive tags.

With the powerful insight of the Sharingan, Qingming's prediction of Shou's movements became more and more accurate, which made his attacks more and more threatening.

This made Shou very frustrated.

However, he didn't dare to look straight ahead, for fear of being controlled again by Qingming's illusion.

Finally, after being scratched by the wind blade again, Shou chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and performed the earth escape ninjutsu that he had used when chasing Qingming and the other man. He lowered his body and disappeared on the spot.
