Chapter 238 Melting Escape
"careful!"

Hearing Qingming's words, Nagashima Tomohisa shouted loudly, took out several kunai in a flash, and threw them at Qingming.

That's right, the person who just spoke was none other than Qing Ming. He used the "transformation technique" to disguise himself as an Iwagakure ninja and took advantage of the chaos to sneak in here.

Originally, he didn't expect to meet Lao Zi in this situation, but when he saw him, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Thus, he unconsciously revealed a hint of murderous intent.

It was this hint of murderous intent that made Lao Zi realize the danger and quickly identify the source, which made Qing Ming feel helpless.

bang~
Cancel the 'transformation technique'.

Qingming reveals his true form.

Ignoring the Iwagakure ninjas who were retreating in panic on both sides, he activated his Sharingan, instantly locked onto the incoming kunai, and with a flash of his body, he avoided all attacks.

Not only that, he also took the opportunity to get close to Lao Zi, and with a "swish", he pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it straight into Lao Zi's heart.

"careful!"

Seeing this scene, Nagashima Tomohisa issued a warning again.

However, Lao Zi did not move. Just as the sword was about to hit him, suddenly a layer of dark red chakra appeared on his body surface.

What followed was a depressing atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zi made a lightning-fast move and grabbed Qing Ming's dagger. No matter how hard Qing Ming tried, the dagger could not move forward at all.

After a moment's stalemate, Lao Zi let out a light shout, exerted force with his right arm, and instantly threw Qingming out with the sword.

After spinning several times in the air, Qing Ming exerted force on his waist and abdomen, adjusted his posture, and landed on a big tree.

Looking at Lao Zi who was wrapped in the tailed beast's coat below, Qing Ming frowned as he recalled the scene where the other party grabbed his dagger with bare hands.

bang~
There was a loud noise.

Then, Lao Zi below kicked the ground with his legs, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball, heading straight towards Qingming who was on the tree branch.

Qing Ming had no intention of engaging him head-on, so he simply put away his dagger, flashed, and jumped onto another big tree, avoiding Lao Zi's attack.

However, Lao Zi refused to give in. Before he even landed on the ground, he stretched out an arm and aimed it at Qing Ming.

The next moment, a dark red chakra turned into a claw and grabbed Qingming from a distance.

Seeing this, Qingming formed seals with his hands and instantly performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!
Then he spit out a fire dragon, which then collided with the 'Tailed Beast Claw'.

Boom~
A violent explosion sounded.

The fire dragon was instantly defeated and turned into a rain of fire that flew everywhere, while the 'tailed beast claw' was only a little illusory and continued to grab Qingming.

Looking at this scene, Qingming's pupils shrank slightly.

Just now, the 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' he performed was specially adjusted according to the chakra condensed by the 'Tailed Beast Claw', and the chakra consumed was not less at all.

But even so, after facing the 'Tailed Beast Claw', it still collapsed at the first touch. This is no longer a problem of quantity, but a problem of quality.

Obviously, the tailed beasts' chakra is a level stronger than his.

In this way, without considering situations such as attribute restraint, skill suppression, etc., to hedge against attacks of the same intensity, he must consume more chakra.

There is no doubt that this is a huge shortcoming.

If Qing Ming wanted to increase the strength of his chakra, the only thing he could think of was to practice the "Sage Mode".

The fairy chakra it condenses can even resist Yin-Yang escape, and its strength is top-notch among all chakras.

However, these are later stories.

Now, the most important thing is to deal with Lao Zi’s attack.

Looking at the 'tailed beast claw' coming straight towards him, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all, and instantly disappeared on the spot.

Boom~
The Tailed Beast Claws slammed into the tree, leaving several deep dents. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"

Before Lao Zi could retract the "Tailed Beast Claw", Qing Ming, who had dodged the attack, used ninjutsu again. Dozens or even hundreds of fireballs spewed out of his mouth, and hit the opponent like a meteor shower.

"Humph! So fancy~"

Looking at the dense incoming fireballs, Lao Zi snorted coldly and planned to swing the "Tailed Beast Claw" to disperse them all.

But at this moment, several shurikens appeared from the fireball and shot straight towards Lao Zi's face.

"what?"

Lao Zi obviously didn't expect this and quickly dodged.

Sizzle~Sizzle~
The sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh and the sound of the flesh being burnt rang out almost simultaneously.

A red-burning shuriken brushed past Lao Zi's cheek, leaving a charred scar.

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Lao Zi was furious and shouted, "Boy, you are looking for death!"

After saying that, he formed seals with his hands, took a deep breath, waited until his chest swelled up, then exhaled suddenly, performing the ninjutsu - Lava Release: Burning River Rock Jutsu!
Then, lava fireballs appeared and smashed towards Qingming like cannonballs.

Feeling the scorching heat coming from it, Qing Ming didn't dare to resist it at all.

In addition, it is made of magma and has physical attack capabilities, so Qing Ming was even more afraid to let it get close.

So, he instantly moved forward and rushed straight towards the surrounding Iwagakure crowd.

Seeing this, Nagashima Tomohisa immediately shouted: "Everyone, attack him, don't let him get close."

Whoosh whoosh~
Dense kunai and shurikens shot towards Qingming, including some detonating talismans thrown by some quick-witted people.

The magatama in Qingming's pupils spun rapidly, allowing him to see everyone's movements clearly. In his eyes, those kunai and shurikens were like slow motion and posed no threat at all.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the detonating talisman mixed in it.

Boom boom boom~
Explosions sounded one after another.

Relying on the powerful insight of the Sharingan, Qing Ming accurately avoided the explosion range of these detonating tags, while dodging countless kunai and shuriken attacks.

"Ah~"

"careful!"

"He's coming! Get back!"

"."

Amidst the chaos, Qingming rushed into the group of Rock Ninjas.

With a flick, the short sword in his hand was unsheathed, and Qingming killed two Iwagakure Genin in an instant, which made the crowd even more panicked.

Taking this opportunity, he formed hand seals again and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu, and his target was still Lao Zi.

This time, Lao Zi didn't dare to be careless and made all preparations, but Qing Ming did not follow up with the shuriken attack.

Realizing that he had been fooled, Lao Zi was so angry that he was fuming.

This is not an adjective, but a reality.

Then, Lao Zi formed seals with his hands and performed the "Melting Chakra Mode".

Then, streaks of lava appeared out of nowhere and were controlled by him, wrapping around his whole body and forming a thick layer of lava armor.

Wisps of smoke emanated from his body, and Qingming could smell the scent of magma from a long distance away.

"drink!"

Lao Zi shouted loudly and rushed straight towards Qingming.
