Chapter 372 Retreat

huh~
A flash of cold light flashed.

The 'Illusion Sword Technique' was performed.

The Kirigakure jonin in front of him was distracted by the cold light on the blade and paused.

However, he was a jonin who was good at illusions, so he reacted quickly and leaned back quickly.

The long knife swept past, and a few strands of hair fell.

"what!"

Qing Ming let out a light exclamation, as if he had not expected that he would be able to get rid of the influence of the 'Illusion Sword Technique' so quickly.

But that's it.

With a thought, Qing Ming suddenly turned his wrist, and the long sword changed from a diagonal chop to an upward thrust, aiming directly at the opponent's carotid artery.

A strong sense of crisis emerged, and Hideo Mizuguchi felt a chill in his heart. Without thinking, he instinctively dodged backwards.

stab~
The long knife slashed across his chest, leaving a deep scar. Scarlet blood instantly flowed out and soaked his clothes.

"Hmm~"

A muffled groan came from Mizuguchi Hideo's mouth.

However, he ignored the pain of the wound, opened his mouth, and released the ninjutsu he had prepared when dodging just now.

The next moment, a visible sound wave was seen coming out of his mouth and spreading in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

Qingming, as the person closest to him, was naturally the first to be hit.

This time, although the sound waves emitted by the opponent were not an illusion, the effect it caused was no different from an illusion.

The nerves in Qingming's ears were affected and he could not maintain his balance. His whole body became shaky in an instant.

Not only that, he also felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, as if he had been hit by some invisible sledgehammer, and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

'Resonance?!'

Suddenly, a word that Qingming learned during his student days in his previous life popped up in his mind.

He couldn't remember the details.

All I know is that it seems that everything has its own frequency, and once other things have the same frequency as them, resonance will occur.

Generally speaking, resonance is harmful and will damage the object of resonance.

Just like now, his internal organs were injured by Hideo Mizuguchi's sonic resonance.

However, unlike the previous life where one could only passively endure it, as a supernatural world, there are various ways to resist this kind of harm.

With a thought, the chakra in his body exploded, and an invisible power emanated from him. Qingming instantly dispelled the sound waves that invaded his body.

Then, a flash of green light appeared, and the "Instant Sword Technique" was performed again. He took a step forward and came in front of Mizuguchi Hideo again.

At this time, the other party had just retreated a few steps and had not gone far.

huh~
Another swing of the knife.

There was a cold light on the blade, and the "Phantom Sword Technique" was about to be launched.

Mizuguchi Hideo looked nervous and didn't dare to look at him at all. He also didn't dare to look at the long sword he was chopping at, so he could only dodge by feeling.

However, his physical skills were still lacking after all. After just a few slashes, Qing Ming, relying on his experience from previous fights, seized the opportunity and slashed his chest with a knife.

Unlike the shallow scars last time, this time the scars are so deep that you can see the bone.

A large amount of blood gushed out, and the opponent's breath immediately weakened.

Seeing this, Qing Ming's chakra burst out from under his feet and his speed increased dramatically. In just a moment, he arrived at the other party's side.

Then, he swung the long sword in his hand, and its upper wind chakra flowed rapidly, faintly forming a sharp cold light.

The cold light flashed across the opponent's neck, leaving a thin trace of blood.

However, it was this bloodstain that made Mizuguchi Hideo freeze in place.

He looked at Qingming and opened his mouth to say something, but just after he uttered the word "you", his head slipped from his neck.

The next moment, a large amount of blood gushed out from his neck, forming a blood fountain several meters high.

Qing Ming watched all this expressionlessly, withdrew his gaze from the other person's body and turned to look at other people around him.

Everything that just happened, although it seems long, actually happened in an instant. At this time, the surrounding Mist Ninjas finally broke free from the indiscriminate sound wave illusion of Mizuguchi Hideo.

They looked at Mizuguchi Hideo's body and Qingming who was standing beside him with a sword, with very ugly expressions.

"kill!"

Finally, at someone's command, these people launched an attack.

Then, the battle broke out again.

Qing Ming did not give in at all. This chaotic battlefield was perfect for him to display his Sharingan and swordsmanship.

Qing Ming calmed his mind and tried his best to recall the state he was in just now. It didn't take long before he entered the state of oblivion of both himself and the world again.

Then, the surrounding Mist Ninjas saw that horrifying scene again.

Qingming killed many people with his sword.

During this period, there were naturally some Mist Ninjas who tried to use ninjutsu or illusion to launch sneak attacks, but he noticed them all keenly.

Then, what greeted them was Qing Ming's successive swings of the long sword.

On the top of the cliff, the remaining Konoha ninjas saw the chaotic battlefield and their own and enemy ninjas entangled with each other. After a little hesitation, they also joined the battle.

This reduced the pressure on Uchiha Tetsuka and others again, and the momentum of the attack became even stronger.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

The sky gradually darkened and the sun was about to disappear completely when a loud horn sounded suddenly from a warship hidden in the fog in the distance.

In an instant, the Mist Ninjas in the field seemed to be awakened, and one by one, they suddenly woke up from the fight.

They looked back at the warship and saw that it had turned around. Without any hesitation, they immediately distanced themselves from the Konoha ninjas.

After retreating to a safe place, he immediately turned around and ran towards the warship behind.

Seeing this, no one tried to stop it except for a few Konoha ninjas who were already bloodthirsty.

It’s not that they want to let the Kirigakure ninja go, but they no longer have the strength to stop it.

Even though the battle just now didn't last long, in terms of intensity, it was no less intense than any other major war.

In fact, it is even worse than before.

After all, two hundred people against four hundred people. Even with Qing Ming disrupting the opponent's formation twice and attracting a large number of high-level Mist Ninjas, it was still quite difficult for the Konoha Ninjas.

I didn't feel it much when I was fighting just now, but as soon as the fight stopped, my breath was lost and I immediately lost my fighting spirit.

Similarly, Qing Ming did not choose to stop it.

Even though he knew that as long as he could hold off the opponent for a while, he would be able to get support from Kurosawa Naruki.

By then, these Mist Ninjas will definitely not come back.

But he still didn't try to stop it.

As for the reason
It's very simple. Whatever he can think of, these Mist Ninjas can definitely think of as well.

Therefore, once he tried to stop them, these Mist Ninjas would definitely counterattack.

By then, a fierce battle will be waiting for him.

Originally, he had been targeted by the Hidden Mist Village. If all these Mist Ninjas died here because of him.

Then, what awaits him is definitely further targeting.

Although he has the 'Heavenly Guard', Qingming is not afraid of being targeted.

But as the saying goes, if you walk along the shore, you will get your feet wet. The reason why the trump card is the trump card is that it cannot be moved lightly.

If he was forced to frequently use Heaven's Guard because of the targeting of the Hidden Mist Village, then sooner or later someone would notice the clues.

By then, if someone figures out a way to deal with it, we'll be in big trouble.

So, it is better to hide some things if possible.

What's more, when those Kirigakure junior ninjas were retreating, he was being watched by several Kirigakure jonins and had no way to take action.

So, in the end, we had no choice but to let them leave.
