Chapter 369 Secret Hand
"This is?"

Xuefeng looked at the palm of Qingming's left hand, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Then I saw a huge shuriken formed by chakra, spinning rapidly there, tearing the surrounding air and causing a whistling wind.

This familiar scene made Xuefeng's hair stand on end.

However, it was too late to retreat now.

Gritting his teeth, Xuefeng controlled the ice crystal dragon to extend its sharp claws and grab Qingming directly.

Qing Ming was also not polite. He stretched out his left hand and collided with the dragon claw.

Compared with the huge dragon claw, Qingming's palm is not even as big as the other's fingernail.

However, even this exaggerated gap did not make Qingming retreat even a single step.

There was no other reason. The moment the two sides came into contact, the 'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken' in Qingming's palm began to take effect.

That’s right, what Qingming performed was not any other ninjutsu, but the S-level forbidden technique - Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!

The huge shuriken exploded and turned into countless chakra needles that were imperceptible to the naked eye, piercing through the ice dragon's giant claws.

Tiny ice chips fell down, and the dragon claw disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

This is not finished!
'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken' continued forward and finally touched the ice dragon's body, leaving a huge hole on it in an instant.

Xuefeng continued to inject chakra into the ice dragon's body, trying to repair the gap.

However, the gap was too big, and the internal ninjutsu structure had been destroyed and could not be repaired at all.

In the end, the ice dragon let out a wail and then collapsed.

Qing Ming dodged a few times, created some distance, and avoided the large amount of ice falling from the sky.

Without paying any more attention to Xuefeng and the other three Mist Village jonin, Qingming swept across the battlefield and shouted, "Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the well-prepared Konoha ninjas immediately moved closer to each other and retreated towards Eagle's Beak Cliff according to the predetermined plan.

The group of Kirigakure ninjas were caught off guard by this scene. Except for a few who were strong and quick to react and stopped their opponents, the rest were unable to stop their opponents.

And once they gather together, it will not be so easy to deal with them.

However, the Kirigakure Ninja didn't want to give up so easily.

So someone immediately gave the order to pursue.

However, before he ran far, he was blocked by the Konoha ninjas who stayed behind on Eagle's Beak Cliff.

Then they saw densely packed kunai falling from the sky and shooting towards them, mixed with a lot of detonating tags, forcing them to dodge.

In addition, the ninjutsu and illusions performed by some Konoha ninjas also caused a lot of trouble to their pursuit.

After one round of attack, seeing that they were about to launch a second round of attack, a Kirigakure jonin could not bear it anymore, and immediately raised his hands, formed seals and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Kirigakure Jutsu!
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were shrouded in fog.

In this way, the Konoha ninjas on the top of the cliff would not dare to attack at will.

On the contrary, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village have to deal with thick fog all year round due to the geographical environment of the village, and the 'Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique' is one of the iconic ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village.

Therefore, even if you are not proficient in the "silent killing technique", you can still distinguish the enemy's traces in the thick fog through some subtle movements.

In this way, disadvantages can be turned into advantages.

Just as the Kirigakure jonin was about to give the order for free hunting, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, dispersing the fog in the blink of an eye.

He looked carefully and saw Qing Ming slowly closed his mouth and put down his left hand.

Obviously, the strong wind just now was his masterpiece.

The thick fog that blocked the view disappeared, and the Konoha ninjas, whose escape speed had just slowed down, immediately sped up again.

Qingming glanced in their direction and was basically sure that they should have no problem escaping back to Eagle's Beak Cliff, so he ignored them.

Next, he had to run away. With this thought, Qingming's body flashed with green light, and he was about to use the "Instant Sword Technique" to leave.

However, the next moment, an invisible sound wave rushed into his ears again, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

This was exactly the sound illusion he had encountered not long ago.

However, this time it was much stronger than last time.

Qing Ming forced himself to cheer up, instantly dispelling the mental power and chakra that invaded his mind, and turned to look at a Kirigakure jonin not far away.

It was the other party who was performing an illusion.

However, this person seemed to be worried about being controlled by him using the Sharingan illusion, so even though he released the illusion towards him, he did not look at him at all.

Helplessly, Qing Ming could only rush towards the other party.

Brush~swipe~
Two familiar figures suddenly appeared and protected this man. They were the two Kirigakure jonin who had fought with him before.

Qingming looked at them, without stopping, and continued running forward.

However, before he could get close, the two men raised their hands at the same time, formed seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Wave!

The next moment, two streams of water like waterfalls gushed out of their mouths and shot straight towards Qingming.

Seeing this, Qing Ming remained calm, raised his hands, quickly completed the hand seals, and once again performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Great Samedan Jutsu!

A giant shark appeared, swallowed all the water into its stomach, and its body increased in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, with unparalleled power, it rushed towards the two of them.

Upon seeing this, the two men immediately stopped casting spells and dodged to the sides.

Boom~
The sharks bombarded the sea, creating huge waves that were more than ten meters high, but no one was hurt.

That’s right, including the Kirigakure jonin who was standing behind the two of them just now, was not injured.

Then, at some point, a ten-meter-high ice wall appeared in front of him, just blocking the impact of the huge waves.

There is no doubt that it was Xuefeng who took action.

Looking at the four people who cooperated with each other tacitly, Qingming slowed down his pace, suddenly turned his body 90 degrees, and ran straight towards the Eagle's Beak Cliff.

He didn't necessarily have to kill the Kirigakure jonin who was good at auditory illusions. As long as the other party didn't hinder his departure, it would be fine to let him go.

Fortunately, his previous actions had attracted everyone's attention, and now was a good opportunity to leave.

However, before he had taken two steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The next moment, a blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, with ripples on it, as if it could be broken with a poke.

However, Qingming knew that it was just an illusion.

This barrier was not a simple thing at all. If he was not mistaken, it should be a barrier.

Looking to the left, right and back, a barrier had also risen up at some point.

Afterwards, the four barriers were connected to each other, and then closed up and down, eventually forming a cubic cage about thirty meters long, wide and high.

brush brush~
Four figures appeared.

They were wearing black robes and masks, and they were four Anbu ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village.

The four Mist Hidden Anbu members each occupied a corner of the cage, without saying a word, and just quietly maintained the operation of the barrier.

Although it sounds like a long story, all of this actually happened in a flash, leaving Qingming no time to escape, otherwise he would not have been so indifferent.

From this, it can be seen that these four members of the Kirigakure Anbu must have been well prepared.

Otherwise, how could he have grasped the timing so well?
Qingming had never expected that the Hidden Mist Village would be so well prepared for a mere exploratory attack.

It even seemed as if it was deliberately targeting him.
