Chapter 331 Sharpening the Sword
Zi~~~
A harsh friction sound sounded.

I saw Li Xian Chuan Wan suddenly inserted the long needle into the ground, then pulled hard with his left hand, and the steel wire in the air closed instantly.

Phew~puff~
Several steel wires penetrated into the flesh around Qingming's neck, strangling him, while also trapping the Kirigakure jonin who was fighting with him.

However, as a cloud of chakra smoke exploded, Qingming turned into several wooden stakes, but there was no blood on the steel wire.

Apparently, Qing Ming had already used the "Substitution Technique" early on and did not suffer any injuries.

On the contrary, the Kirigakure Jonin who was fighting with him had his heart cut open by the steel wire. A large amount of blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the ground red.

Only then did his eyes regain clarity, but it was too late.

Mei Terumi and Ao looked at his body with very ugly expressions.

However, Kurishan Kushimaru and another Kirigakure Anbu just paused for a moment, then ignored each other and attacked Qingming again.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi and Ao sighed helplessly and could only continue to cooperate with them in the attack.

But after this experience, Mei Terumi and Ao became more cautious in their actions, and sometimes even when there were good opportunities, they were unwilling to take risks.

This gave Qingming more room to maneuver and reduced the pressure a lot.

Thus, the battle continued in such a strange atmosphere.

······
Soon, another half an hour passed.

The effect of Qingming's support is beginning to show.

As Mei Terumi and others were restrained by him, the Konoha jonin who had previously fought with them were freed, and the balance of the entire eastern battlefield was restored again.

In fact, Konoha had a slight advantage.

It is foreseeable that if this continues, the raid on the Hidden Mist Village will be declared a failure.

However, the Hidden Mist Village seems unwilling to accept such an outcome.

About ten minutes later.

Several jonin and special jonin were transferred from the southern battlefield and the southeastern battlefield by the Kirigakure command to join the siege of Qingming.

Obviously, they have seen the crux of the problem. Unless they completely get rid of Qingming, they will never be able to break through Konoha's forward base.

Therefore, Commander Kirigakure chose to continue to increase the stakes.

At the same time, Kurishan Kushimaru seemed to have been warned as well. He restrained his movements a lot and began to actively cooperate with others.

As a result, Qingming's pressure increased suddenly. Even with the help of the Sharingan, he still suffered several wounds on his body in a short period of time.

At this moment, a familiar voice came into his ears. It was the ninja from the Yamanaka clan.

Then he said, "Qingming, how are you doing? Do you need any support?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming glanced at the people around him who were staring at him with eager eyes, then looked at the injuries on his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Not for now!"

It's not that he is trying to be brave on purpose, but these people really cannot pose a fatal threat to him.

The other side did have a lot of people, but they were unable to attack him at the same time. The most they could do was cooperate with each other and increase the frequency of the attack.

And with his current Sharingan's insight, combined with the amazing physical strength brought by 16 points of 'Constitution' and the powerful perception brought by 19 points of 'Spirit'.

This level of pressure is still within the tolerable range.

And he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and use this pressure to completely control the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

Even though he had fought several battles with the long sword in his hand, his familiarity with it was only average.

After all, before this, the weapons he used were all short swords.

Although there is no distinction between swords and knives in the ninja world, there are still some differences when they are actually used.

Therefore, running-in is necessary.

Now, he wanted to use this external force to change his own fighting habits and completely master the long sword in his hand. Only in this way could he maximize the lv7 (0/0) perfect realm of "swordsmanship".

At the same time, such fierce battles can also allow his "Illusion Sword Technique" and "Instant Sword Technique" to grow rapidly, thus saving more time and energy.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to bear it alone.

After hearing his words, the Yamanaka clan ninja on the other side was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on you and give you support when necessary."

"it is good!"

Qing Ming simply replied and then dispelled the other party's mental power.

Then, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and took the time to perform the "Palm Immortal Technique", injecting several balls of Yang escape chakra into his own wounds.

I have to say, after the "Palm Immortal Technique" is upgraded to level 8, the effect is really strong.

As these Yang Release Chakras entered his body, Qing Ming immediately felt that his injuries were recovering at an unprecedented speed.

At this rate, his injuries would probably heal in just a few minutes.

By then, he will be a hero again.

stab~
However, just as he was thinking this, several shurikens suddenly shot out from a hidden corner, and someone in front was fighting with Qingming.

As a last resort, Qingming could only avoid it as much as possible.

Finally, two shurikens flew past his cheeks, leaving two shallow scars.

Tick ​​tick tick~
Drops of blood splattered.

Feeling the burning sensation on his cheek, Qing Ming said to himself, "Well, I can't think about healing my wounds completely now."

Given the current situation, even if he healed all his wounds, he would probably have several new wounds in the near future.

Therefore, don’t think about completely healing his injuries, at least not until the end of this battle.

However, this does not mean that his healing actions were in vain.

If he cannot treat his injuries in time, perhaps one or two wounds may not be fatal, but if they accumulate, it will eventually affect his condition.

By then, it might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Therefore, Qingming would not miss any opportunity to use the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to heal injuries.

It was precisely with the help of this quick healing method that Qing Ming was able to withstand the pressure.

Not only was he not defeated by this disguised round-robin battle, but he also severely injured two Kirigakure jonin by exchanging injuries for each other.

Time passes slowly.

Gradually, the Mist Ninjas that besieged him discovered something was wrong. It seemed that his strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Especially his swordsmanship, which is getting better and better.

At first, when they fought with Qingming, they thought Qingming's swordsmanship was good, but that was just the way it was. They had no idea where the title of "Ghost Sword" came from.

But now, as time goes by, they finally understand what "Ghost Sword" is.

At this moment, Qingming was just like a ghost, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

The Kusanagi sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and every attack made people shudder.

It was because they had so many people and could support each other, otherwise someone would have died under the Qingming Sword long ago.

But even so, several people were injured by Qingming's Kusanagi sword. Although they did not die, their combat effectiveness was inevitably reduced.

In this way, as time goes by, the pressure Qingming has to bear is much less than at the beginning.
