Chapter 423 Blocking
"Whoo~~~"

Looking at the corpse of Kizuna Zangetsu on the ground, Qingming breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that among all the jonin he had fought, Hozuki Zangetsu might not be the strongest, but he was definitely the hardest to kill.

Because there were so many people around, it was difficult for him to use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. In addition, he had not developed Lightning Release, so he could not effectively restrain his 'Water Transformation Technique'.

So, it took a lot of effort.

Only because of his great strength and abundant chakra, he was able to defeat the enemy with his own strength and kill him in such a short time.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze to the battlefield around him.

Before, when he was fighting fiercely with Kizuna Zangetsu, although the ninjas from both sides were far away from this area, they were all paying attention to this side.

And now, Hozuki Zangetsu was killed by him, not to mention the morale of the Konoha ninjas, naturally their morale was boosted.

In contrast, the Kirigakure ninjas became noticeably agitated.

Even though their current number is still 50% higher than that of Konoha, they still seem to lack confidence.

And this is the role of high-level ninjas on the battlefield.

Qingming's eyes quickly swept over these people, and finally looked at Kurosaki Takeo who was struggling to get up not far away and preparing to seek refuge in the Kirigakure crowd.

The other party was injured by his "Rasengan" not long ago and has been recovering for some time, but until now, he has not been much better.

It just so happened that he had consumed a lot of chakra in order to kill Kizuna Zangetsu just now, and it was time to replenish it.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qing Ming's figure flashed and he appeared in front of the other person in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Qingming who suddenly appeared, Kurosaki Takeo stopped and a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

However, after despair, there is endless madness.

He raised the kunai in his hand, shouted loudly, and stabbed straight at Qingming.

However, watching the other party's actions, Qing Ming did not move at all.

The next moment, just as the kunai was about to touch him, Kurosaki Takeo froze in place, his originally ferocious face instantly falling into confusion.

"Illusion: Sharingan~"

It turned out that at the moment when the two sides looked at each other, Qingming pulled his consciousness into the illusion.

In this way, his movements naturally stopped.

Looking at the motionless Kurosaki Takeo, Qing Ming did not delay at all. He raised his hand and was about to perform the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to drain the opponent's chakra.

However, at this moment, two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

"Captain Kurosaki!"

"stop!"

Hearing this sudden sound, Qingming stopped forming seals immediately, then looked towards the place not far away in the direction of the sound.

Then he saw two figures running towards him quickly.

Whoosh whoosh~
Several kunai were shot at him rapidly.

Qingming slightly tilted his body to avoid the attack.

However, this is just the beginning.

The next moment, the two of them quickly completed the hand seals and each performed a ninjutsu.

"Water Style: Water Column Gun~"

"Water Style: Water Shotgun~"

A column of water and a large number of water bombs flew over.

One went straight for his chest, intending to deal him a fatal blow, while the other blocked his escape route in an attempt to restrict his movements.

It can be seen that they cooperate very well and they must have done this many times in the past.

However, this trick might be useful to others, but it is not enough when facing Qing Ming.

Without any hesitation, Qingming's hand seal changed, and the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' that was originally prepared to be performed suddenly turned into 'Water Style: Water Array Wall'.

In an instant, a wall of water rose in front of him. Water columns and water bombs hit it, splashing water, but it couldn't do anything to him.

Seeing this scene, the two attacking Mist Hidden Ninjas' expressions changed slightly, but after looking at Kurosaki Takeo who was standing there motionless, they gritted their teeth and continued to rush towards him.

Seeing this, Qing Ming snorted coldly, formed seals with his hands again, and performed another water-style ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!

roar~
With a roar, a giant water dragon appeared on the scene and then pounced towards the two of them at a rapid speed.

"careful!"

Of the two, the one on the right raised a warning.

While speaking, he immediately jumped to the right to avoid the attack of the water dragon.

After receiving the warning from his companion, the man on the left also dodged to the left.

The next moment, the water dragon hit the ground between the two people, splashing a large amount of water, temporarily separating the two people.

However, they were not hurt.

Just when the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a transparent wind blade swept past and cut straight into the neck of the Mist Ninja on the right.

Although he dodged in time, one of his arms was still cut off by the wind blade.

"what!"

A quick and brief cry of pain came out of his mouth.

The Mist Ninja on the left saw this and shouted anxiously: "Keita! What's wrong with you?"

However, as soon as he said this, he felt an inexplicable chill.

Qingming's figure disappeared from sight at some point.

He glanced back and saw a figure standing there with a knife in his hand.

If it’s not Qingming, who else could it be?
In an instant, his heart rose to his throat and he wanted to lunge forward to avoid the impending attack.

However, it was too late.

Before he could take a step, the sharp tip of the knife pierced through his chest and completely penetrated his heart.

puff~
He spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Subsequently, his vitality rapidly weakened.

Qing Ming showed no mercy at all and with a "swish" he drew out his long sword.

This made his breath even weaker, and then it quickly disappeared.

At this time, Qingming looked at the Kirigakure Chunin on the right.

At this time, he had lost an arm and his face was extremely pale.

Green light flickered on Qingming's body.

The next moment, he disappeared from where he was.

Seeing this scene, Keita Shiozawa's expression changed suddenly, but before he could do anything, a long knife pierced his abdomen.

Keita Shiozawa looked down at the long knife that was stabbing straight into his lower abdomen, then looked up at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, his face showing a look of madness.

He forced himself to swallow the blood rushing to his throat and roared, "Monster, let's die together!"

As he said this, he was about to activate the detonating talisman that had already been hidden in his palm.

Unfortunately, before he could make any move, he fell into a daze.

The moment before he lost consciousness, he only remembered that his vision seemed to be occupied by a pair of blood-red Sharingans.

Qing Ming looked at the figure who had fallen into the illusion, shook his head, then raised his hand to form a seal and performed a ninjutsu - Chakra absorption technique!
In an instant, a large amount of chakra flowed out of his body, poured madly into his palm, and then transformed into Qingming's unique chakra through his chakra meridians.

The level 6 'Chakra Absorption Technique' can absorb points of chakra from the target per second and convert it % into one's own chakra.

After the target's chakra is drained, the target's spiritual energy and physical energy will be forcibly extracted to synthesize chakra.

Basically, every hostile ninja whose chakra is extracted by Qingming will eventually be eaten up, and Keita Shiozawa is no exception.

bang~
After a few seconds, his slightly shrunken body fell to the ground.

Qing Ming withdrew his hand and walked towards where Kurosaki Takeo was.

This time, no one dared to stop him.
