Chapter 320 A little test
Wow~

A gust of sea breeze blew, creating waves more than half a meter high.

The white mist in the field, without the support of Qing's chakra, quickly dissipated after being blown away.

Qing Ming just stared at Terumi Mei without saying a word.

Similarly, the other party also looked at him warily, trying to find his flaws.

As time passed, the atmosphere between the two became more and more depressing.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the seriously injured Qing and Uchiha Tiehuo were almost unable to breathe.

Call ~
Another gust of sea breeze blew by.

The hair on Mei Terumi's forehead was blown, blocking her vision.

'It's now! ’

Qing Ming's thought moved, and the chakra gathered at the soles of his feet suddenly burst out, causing his speed to suddenly increase to an extremely exaggerated level.

Just then, he saw a large area of ​​sea water suddenly sinking under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, his body turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Mei Terumi in an instant.

huh~
A flash of light flashed by.

Qing Ming swung the long sword in his hand, infusing wind chakra into it, and a layer of green light suddenly attached to the blade of the long sword.

Suddenly, an extremely sharp breath came from it and attacked Terumi Mei's snow-white neck.

"So fast!"

Seeing Qingming suddenly appearing in front of her, Terumi Mei was shocked.

And when she felt the sharp aura of the Qingming blade, her face changed drastically.

Instinctively, she wanted to hide away.

However, when she caught a glimpse of Qing who was seriously injured behind her, she gave up the idea.

At this time, she could dodge, but Qing behind her would definitely suffer.

This was something she absolutely did not want to see.

So she gritted her teeth, immediately raised the kunai in her hand and blocked it in front of her.

Seeing this, Qing Ming smiled slightly and secretly increased the strength in his hands again.

Ding~
The long sword and kunai collided, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

Even though Qingming is not yet an adult and is small in size, the terrifying increase in his 16 points of "Constitution" allows him to burst out with power far beyond that of an adult ninja.

In addition, the presence of the long sword also makes it easier for him to exert his power compared to the opponent's kunai.

However, even so, after the two collided, Mei Terumi did not take a single step back.

Qing Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully, and saw that the arm holding the kunai had become slightly thicker, with clear muscle lines inside, and it was obvious that he had used some secret technique to increase his strength.

Not only that, the sea surface beneath her feet also sank significantly.

Obviously, a large part of the force was unloaded into the sea by her.

Apart from anything else, this one move alone made Qingming realize that the opponent's physical skills were definitely not weak.

Before, when he was fighting with his shadow clone, he tried his best to avoid close combat, and looked like he was not good at physical skills.

And now...

Qing Ming shook his head secretly.

There is no doubt that the other party has been hiding his strength from the beginning to the end.

In other words, intelligence!
Qingming was almost certain that the opponent's physical skills were definitely not inferior to those of ordinary senior ninjas who were good at this.

Come to think of it, as a being who can grow into a shadow in the future, how could he have such a big shortcoming?

Everything about the other party is just a disguise.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming suddenly exerted force to force Terumi Mei back.

Indeed, the opponent's physical skills are indeed not weaker than those of ordinary jonin.

But Qingming's physical skills, or swordsmanship, are not comparable to those of ordinary jonin.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qingming swung out his sword again and chopped at Terumi Mei.

Mei Terumi didn't dare to be careless and quickly blocked it.

The kunai and the long sword collided, and the sounds of metal clashing rang out one after another.

Qing Ming and Terumi Mei countered each other's moves and the fight was very intense.

Unconsciously, the intensity of the battle between the Kirigakure ninjas and the Konoha ninjas in the periphery decreased. Each of them paid a little attention to the battle situation here.

Obviously, they were very clear that in this battle where the number of people and strength were not much different, the final victory would still depend on the two leaders.

If Terumi Mei defeats Aoki Mei, the Konoha ninjas in the field will naturally retreat.

On the contrary, if Qingming wins, the Mist Ninja will retreat.

······
Ding ding ~ dang dang ~
Soon, five minutes passed.

The battle continues!

Just when everyone thought that the battle would last longer.

Stab ~

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard, and blood splattered.

"Hmm~"

Mei Terumi groaned and suddenly distanced herself from him.

It can be seen that there is a deep scar on her right arm.

Her eyes swept across the bloodstain on her forearm. Enduring the burning pain, Terumi Mei stared at Qingming's long sword and thought to herself, "What happened just now?"

Just now, when the two were fighting fiercely, Qing Ming suddenly changed his moves. The sword's moves were no longer as vigorous and majestic as at the beginning, but became sinister and mysterious.

This sudden change in style made her feel uncomfortable, and then...

Then she got caught!
I clearly saw the knife coming and tried to block it instinctively, but suddenly I realized that Qingming's attack had just started.

This forced her to pause and reconsider her response strategy.

It was this moment of stagnation that created a flaw in her defense.

Thanks to her quick reaction and timely subsequent adjustments, she did not suffer more serious injuries.

Otherwise, he might have fallen to the ground seriously injured like Ru Qing.

But even so, it still made her feel very difficult.

If Qingming's attacks from now on are like this, then no matter how fast her reactions are, she will reveal bigger flaws sooner or later.

Moreover, is this swordsmanship or illusion?

If you don’t figure these out, you won’t be able to carry out targeted defense, and the subsequent troubles will be even greater!

Just as Terumi was thinking, Qing, who had retreated to the edge of the battlefield, suddenly shouted, "Watch out for the sword light! He is using the sword light to cast an illusion on you and affect your senses!"

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused but the bystanders are clear.

Mei Terumi was in the middle of the situation and couldn't see through Qingming's "illusion swordsmanship" for a while, but Qing was outside the situation and used his Byakugan's super-detailed observation of chakra to discover clues.

In addition, he had been seriously injured by Qing Ming's move not long ago.

Therefore, he immediately understood Terumi Mei's situation and quickly spoke out to remind her.

而他说的也的确没错，一周多的时间过去了，得益于lv7（0/0）的‘剑术’打下的基础，青冥的‘幻剑术’已经从lv4（701/2000）提升到了lv5（1150/5000）！
Generally, for C-level skills, level 5 is already perfect. Although "Phantom Sword Technique" is not a C-level skill, level 5 is also an important watershed.

After being promoted to this level, he can already do a lot of things.

For example, using the light of a sword to perform magic.

That's right, now his "Illusion Sword Technique" can be performed by using the light emitted from the blade during a fight, and its concealment is much stronger than before.

It is precisely because of this that Qing and Mei Terumi were attacked one after another.

It’s not that they are not vigilant enough or lack the strength, but that his methods are too sophisticated.

Similarly, this kind of "illusion sword technique" cannot be easily avoided even if the opponent knows the principle.

After all, when you’re fighting, you can’t ignore your opponent’s attack method and angle, right?

In this way, Qingming has plenty of opportunities to display his "Illusion Sword Technique", and what he just did was just a small test.

Next, it depends on whether the other party can hold on.
