Chapter 97 Explosion
"Okay, that's it!"

In the forest, Qian Ye, who was running away, suddenly heard these words. His expression suddenly changed, he stopped, and stared at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

This person is none other than Qing Ming.

"It's you! Have you discovered me a long time ago?"

Looking at this familiar face and those familiar eyes, Qianye gritted his teeth.

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Qing Ming chuckled twice and said, "If I can't find your trace even after this, then my eyes are wasted."

Hiding and not moving to conceal your whereabouts and moving without being discovered are two completely different concepts.

Qing Ming only chased for a while before he discovered the traces left by Qianye's real body through the powerful insight of the Sharingan.

The only reason we didn't stop it immediately was to get the battlefield as far away from the previous position as possible.

Now.
It’s almost time!

If we delay any further, the other teams might surround us, so we must end the battle as soon as possible.

In addition, there is another reason for choosing the battlefield here, that is, there is a hidden place nearby for hiding.

It was an underground space, which seemed to have been opened up by someone using earth-style ninjutsu during the last Ninja World War. Qingming discovered it by chance while patrolling two days ago.

I didn't take it seriously at first, and now it's a good opportunity to imprison this puppeteer.

However, before that, we still have to catch the other party first.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Ming threw out several shurikens.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Qian Ye did not dodge or evade. Instead, he snorted coldly and hooked his finger slightly. Two black shadows rushed out from the woods behind and blocked him directly.

This black shadow was nothing else but a spider puppet missing three legs and a human-shaped puppet with only a head, torso and one leg left.

dong dong dong~
The shuriken hit the puppet, making a series of dull sounds, but failed to cause any damage to the puppet.

Immediately afterwards, Qianye’s counterattack came.

He moved his ten fingers together, controlling the spider puppet to release a large number of hidden weapons, while at the same time controlling the humanoid puppet to engage in close combat with Qingming, trying to interfere with his movements.

But Qingming was not so easily disturbed. He dodged the incoming hidden weapons while waving the dagger in his hand to block the attack from the humanoid puppet.

Afterwards, he took advantage of the gap between the spider puppet's attacks and rushed in front of Qianye.

Yes, Qing Ming had only attacked the puppets before, but that meant he didn’t discover Qian Ye’s real body!
Now that the opponent has appeared in front of him, he naturally will not rigidly compete with the puppet, but like everyone else, choose to attack the puppeteer himself.

Unfortunately, although Qianye lacked combat experience, the puppeteer training he received was extremely orthodox. He knew that he was his biggest weakness, so he was always on guard.

Therefore, Qing Ming's attack failed, and the sword he swung was blocked by the spider puppet.

Not only that, two tubes extended from the spider puppet's abdomen, spraying two streams of yellow-green poisonous mist towards Qingming.

Fortunately, Qingming possessed the Sharingan, and the moment the tube appeared, he retreated alertly.

Without waiting for the poisonous fog to spread, Qing Ming threw three kunai at the place where Qian Ye was standing according to his previous memory.

The kunai pierced through the poisonous fog and attacked Qianye, but was once again blocked by the spider puppet.

However, before Qianye could breathe a sigh of relief, a series of "sizzling" sounds were suddenly heard. He looked closely and saw three detonating talismans burning violently behind the three kunai that were bounced away.

"not good!"

Qianye was horrified and flew backwards while controlling the spider puppet to block in front of him.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
A blinding flash of fire suddenly appeared, a deafening explosion sounded, and three red fireballs rose up, instantly engulfing the spider puppet.

However, to Qingming's surprise, the spider puppet was affected by three detonation talismans, but still had no major problems. "Sure enough, there is some trick!"

With a mutter, Qing Ming leaped forward again and rushed towards Qian Ye.

Seeing this, Qianye immediately controlled two puppets to stop them.

Qing Ming followed the same method and began to dismember the two puppets again.

In just a few moments, the severely damaged humanoid puppet was disassembled into pieces and became completely unable to move.

In addition, there was a spider puppet, whose legs were again removed by Qing Ming.

During this period, Qianye naturally resisted, but to no avail.

Before, when he was hiding in the dark, he was unable to stop Qing Ming from dismantling the puppet.

Now, the real body has been exposed, and with such a big weakness, it is naturally even more difficult to stop.

It seemed that the spider puppet was already badly damaged in order to protect itself.

Finally, Qian Yeyi became ruthless and resorted to his last resort.

Then, the spider puppet that was fighting with Qingming suddenly stopped.

Then, accompanied by a series of "cracking" sounds, it suddenly scattered into parts all over the ground.

and many more!

They are not spare parts, but spider puppets of different sizes.

Qianye's ten fingers moved slightly, and the chakra line shot out was divided into two, two into four, and four into eight.
All the puppets were connected in an instant.

If Qingming was unable to observe it before because the chakra lines were too thin, now he can vaguely see it even without opening the Sharingan.

but.
"Can a mere Chunin really control so many chakra lines?"

You know, Chiyo is already known as a top-notch puppeteer for controlling a puppet with just one finger.
Qing Ming roughly counted the number of spider puppets, there were at least hundreds of them.

To control a puppet battle of this scale, I'm afraid Scorpion can only do it after he transforms himself into a human puppet.

Qingming didn't believe that this "unknown person" could do it.

'There must be something fishy going on here?'

Qingming thought secretly in his heart and unconsciously took half a step back.

However, his retreat was like disturbing a hornet's nest. The spider puppets on the ground jumped up one after another and pounced on him.

With a flash of cold light, Qingming swung the dagger in his hand and instantly split the spider puppet in front in half.

However, at this moment, alarm bells rang in his heart, his Sharingan spun rapidly, and everything in front of him was slowed down.

Finally, he saw a familiar piece of talisman inside the spider puppet that was split into two halves. It was the detonating talisman, and the talisman was still burning.

"grass!"

Qing Ming cursed loudly and suddenly retreated.

If it was just a detonating talisman, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but the scary thing is that there are detonating talismans hidden inside those spider puppets.

Once surrounded by them, hundreds of detonating talismans would explode at the same time. Without Susanoo, Qingming didn't know how to defend himself.
So, just in case, it’s better to leave first.

As it turned out, his decision was correct. As soon as he left, two spider puppets jumped to the place where he had stood before.

Then, along with the spider he had chopped in half, three explosions sounded almost simultaneously, and raging flames instantly covered an area of ​​several meters in radius.

　There will be another update in the evening.
