Chapter 257 Two
"Ghost horse? Damn it!"

When Kanhara Nobunaga saw Kawachi Guima spitting blood and flying backwards, he cursed inwardly, then quickly took out another kunai and pounced towards Qingming.

At the same time, Shimazu Shinya, who had just dodged to make way, realized that he had done something stupid and immediately stepped forward to remedy the situation.

Unfortunately, Qingming had already torn a hole among the few people. How could he allow them to complete the encirclement again?
With a thought, Qingming used the "Illusion Sword Technique" and went straight to Shimazu Shinya who was closest to him.

When Shimazu Shinya saw Qingming's dagger, his expression was dazed and inevitably there was a flaw in his movements.

Qing Ming seized the opportunity and was about to strike with a powerful punch.

At this moment, another Iwagakure jonin whose attack had just been blocked by Qingming rushed forward and stood in front of Shimazu Shinya.

Hey~
The kunai and the dagger collided, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

What followed was a harsh friction sound, and just as the two were in a stalemate, Qing Ming suddenly raised his left hand and placed it in front of his chest.

Seeing this familiar movement, both the Iwagakure jonin in front of them and Shimazu Shinya who had just come to his senses behind them, changed their expressions drastically.

They have not forgotten that not long ago, Qingming formed hand seals with one hand and performed the wind-style ninjutsu.

At that speed of seal formation, once Qingming starts to perform it, they might not even be able to dodge.

So, without any hesitation, the two of them immediately dodged to the sides.

"Haha~"

Seeing the two people's actions, Qingming chuckled, then turned around and faced Kanhara Nobunaga who was approaching.

"Ok?"

Nobunaga Kanhara was startled and slowed down his pace unconsciously.

Qingming quickly formed a seal with his left hand, opened his mouth, and spit out a ball of fire that looked like a balsam seed.

These fireballs were like fire elves, surrounding him with incredible agility.

Without any hesitation, Kanhara Nobunaga immediately stopped, then jumped back and left the place.

However, the fireballs were relentless and continued to chase him.

Kanhara Nobunaga's face was solemn. He retreated while forming seals.

Finally, at the critical moment, Kanhara Nobunaga completed the hand seal and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Array Wall!

He saw a wall of water rising in front of him, blocking the fire in front of him. When the flames and the water met, there was a sizzling sound.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor appeared and gathered together to form a layer of light white mist.

Seeing this, Kanhara Nobunaga rushed forward, his body passing through layers of white mist, instantly avoiding the large number of fireballs that were circling around the water wall on both sides.

Although Qing Ming can control these fireballs to change their flight trajectory, there is a limit after all, and there is no way to make a 180-degree turn.

Therefore, when Kanhara Nobunaga was out of position, he had no choice but to give up the attack.

Boom boom boom~
These fireballs hit the ground, blasting out charred holes, which clearly showed their power.

It may sound like a long process, but it actually happened in a flash.

It was not until Qingming's attack missed that Shimazu Shinya and another Iwagakure jonin, who had just dodged, realized that they had been tricked.

So, they all formed hand seals and prepared to use ninjutsu to attack Qingming.

Unfortunately, they were too slow.

After determining that the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' would not work, Qing Ming changed direction and targeted the two people again.

Therefore, just as they were about to form seals, Qing Ming threw out six shurikens, heading straight for their vital points.

As a last resort, the two could only dodge first.

And this flash gave Qingming an opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he took out a dozen shurikens again, then waved his hands and threw all the shurikens at the two people like a fairy scattering flowers.

The two were thrown into chaos by Qingming's superb ninja tool throwing skills, and when they stopped, the only thing they could hear was Kanhara Nobunaga's warning.

"Be careful!" Instinctively, Shimazu Shinya lowered his head.

huh~
A nearly two-meter-long transparent wind blade passed over his head, and a few broken hairs slowly fell down, which made Shimazu Shinya feel frightened.

However, before he could congratulate himself on escaping death, a scream suddenly came from behind him on the left.

"Ok?"

Shimazu Shinya's heart trembled, and when he looked back, he saw that his companion who had just dodged Qingming's attack with him had half of his right arm fallen to the ground.

At the same time, there was a wound of about ten centimeters across his right chest, leaving a neat incision.

A large amount of blood and internal organs flowed out from the incision, and he made painful sounds from his mouth. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

Obviously, Qingming's attack just now was not aimed at him only. Qingming consumed a large amount of chakra to condense such a wind blade, aiming to kill two birds with one stone.

Shimazu Shinya reacted quickly, and with the timely warning from Kanhara Nobunaga, he avoided the attack, but another Iwagakure jonin who was not far away from him was not so lucky.

If he doesn't die after being swept by the wind blade, who will?

However, Qing Ming was able to perform this move so quickly thanks to his hard work over the past ten days.

Because of the large amount of chakra he invested, his 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' and 'Rasengan' were also advanced.

此时，其熟练度已经从lv4（1660/2000）提升到了lv5（870/5000）。

Level 5 is a watershed, and it is already perfect in terms of C-level ninjutsu.

Although 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' was not perfected due to its high level, it became much faster to perform after the upgrade.

In addition, it has the characteristics of "fast attack speed and good concealment", so Qingming is naturally more adept at using it now.

No, just like the Rasengan, once it is used, it has remarkable effects.

After losing two people in a short period of time, even though Kanhara Nobunaga was a true jonin and much stronger than his three companions, he did not dare to launch an attack rashly at this time.

There is no other reason. As the number of people decreases, the threat posed by Qingming's Sharingan to them gradually increases.

Before, when there were many people, they didn’t have to worry too much about Qingming’s Sharingan illusion, because even if someone was caught in the illusion, others could help block and remove it.

But now, there are only him and Shimazu Shinya left. If one of them fails to cooperate well, Qingming might seize the opportunity.

By then, it is not impossible that the entire army will be wiped out.

Therefore, he did not dare to launch an attack rashly.

The same is true for Shimazu Shinya.

However, in contrast to them, Qing Ming was now much more relaxed.

There is no other reason. The siege of four people and the pincer attack of two people are completely different concepts. The difficulty of dealing with the two is more than twice as difficult.
Facing the siege of four people, Qing Ming cannot be careless at all, otherwise he will fall into a disadvantage and be exhausted step by step.

But if there are only two enemies, it would be much simpler.

Not to mention that he has already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, which has greatly increased the power of the illusion. Even if it has not been opened, he can deal with it more easily.

At least, there won't be any danger.

However, Qingming didn't want to deal with it so simply. He wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of the kaleidoscope.

Once this thought came to mind, Qingming couldn't suppress it.

After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he decided to give it a try.

Of course, considering that there were many people around, he did not intend to use any overly obvious means. He only planned to test the enhancement of illusions by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

He wanted to see what a well-rounded jonin could do against this level of illusion.

This way, he will have a reference when he fights with others in the future.

With this thought in mind, Qingming raised his sword and rushed towards Shimazu Shinya who was closer.
