Chapter 98 Captive
"really."

Looking at the three fireballs rising at the same time from behind, Qing Ming's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but say, "There really are detonating talismans!"

After saying that, he saw more spider puppets jumping towards him.

Qingming didn't dare to resist and quickly retreated.

Boom boom boom~
Several more explosions sounded in succession.

In a cloud of smoke, Qing Ming ran out wildly, followed by dozens of spider puppets of various sizes.

At this moment, Qing Ming wished he could learn the "Wind Escape·Great Breakthrough" immediately so that he could use this skill on the opponent and blow away those spider puppets.

Unfortunately, he hasn't practiced this ninjutsu since he acquired it.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to practice, but he has not yet fully mastered the changes in the form and nature of the fire attribute chakra. Rashly developing the wind attribute will only result in half the effort and twice the result.

Even with the help of the proficiency panel, forcibly learning this ninjutsu and the process of gaining proficiency will consume more unnecessary chakra.

This is totally not worth the effort, which is why I have never practiced it.

However, after this time, Qing Ming plans to allocate more chakra to 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique' to master the changes in the form and nature of fire attribute chakra as soon as possible.

After that, you can start developing wind attribute chakra.

By then, if we encounter the same situation again, we won’t be too passive.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming leaped up and once again avoided the sneak attack from several spider puppets.

Boom boom boom~
The familiar explosion sounded again, but still did not cause any harm to Qingming.

Not only that, as time went on, Qing Ming gradually discovered the shortcomings of these spider puppets.

Among them, the most fatal one is that they cannot be separated too far. Qingming estimates that this is the disadvantage of the other party's trick of controlling so many puppets.

That's right, it's just a trick.

Qingming has already seen that the other party is not directly controlling so many puppets, but through indirect control, from point to surface, to complete the control of all the puppets.

This results in the fact that most puppets can only follow those few puppets that serve as the center.

In this way, it will be impossible to form an effective encirclement of Qingming.

Qingming is not very afraid of being chased and self-destructed alone.

Anyway, the number of these puppets is limited. Once they are used up, it will be his chance to fight back.

In order to speed up the process, Qingming would occasionally use the "Fire Escape: Phoenix Fire Technique" while dodging.

This technique is not powerful enough when used against giant puppets, but it is more than enough to deal with these small spiders with "simple" manufacturing technology.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique~"

Hundreds of fist-sized fireballs were controlled by Qingming and smashed towards the group of spider puppets.

Unfortunately, the spider puppet was too small and too flexible, so most of the fireballs missed the target, with only about ten hitting the target.

However, it's enough.

Accompanied by a series of explosions, all the puppets were destroyed.

In this way, Qing Ming continued to reduce the number of spider puppets.

After a few minutes, there was no spider puppet left on the field.

Qianye walked out from behind the tree with a gloomy face, looked at Qingming, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But at this moment, Qingming's expression suddenly changed. He flashed in front of him in an instant, and the short sword in his hand slashed out diagonally, pointing directly at the opponent's neck.

Qianye did not expect Qingming to attack without saying a word, so he quickly raised the kunai in his hand to block.

Hey~
The kunai and the dagger collided, making a crisp sound.

Qing Ming continued to exert force, forcing Qian Ye to retreat.

Qing Ming was ruthless and used the Konoha-style swordsmanship and Uchiha-style swordsmanship one after another, coupled with the fully activated Sharingan. In just a dozen breaths, he left a deep scar on the opponent's body that could be seen to the bone.

As the wound appeared, Qianye's figure suddenly collapsed and turned into a cloud of chakra smoke, which disappeared. Obviously, this was just a shadow clone.

Seeing this scene, Qing Ming's face looked a little ugly, but he did not show any surprise.

There was no other reason. The moment the other party appeared, Qing Ming keenly observed that there was something wrong with the amount of chakra in the other party's body.

Although the Sharingan cannot directly see the chakra meridians and acupoints in the ninja's body like the Byakugan, it can still roughly see the amount of chakra.

Therefore, Qing Ming saw at a glance that the other party's chakra was much less than expected.

You know, because of the existence of 'Chakra Absorption Technique', Qing Ming is very concerned about the amount of chakra of the enemy.

It was clear that the last time I saw him not long ago, he still had a lot of chakra.

As a result, when he dealt with the last few spider puppets, the opponent's chakra suddenly decreased by almost half.

In this case, the opponent either used some extremely powerful ninjutsu or the shadow clone technique to divide the chakra equally.

As for the former, Qing Ming neither saw any major movement nor felt any fatal danger, so he directly ruled it out.

Then only the latter remains.

Because of this, he acted without saying a word, in order to confirm his guess as soon as possible.

If the guess is wrong, then take down the opponent. If the guess is correct, then you have to hurry up and search for the opponent's true identity.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

So, the next step is to find the other party’s true identity.

Qingming had put in so much effort and didn't want to let the other party run away.

With a thought, Qing Ming began to recall the entire process of the battle just now, analyzing when and where the opponent used the shadow clone to escape.

After a few breaths, Qingming came behind a big tree. It was not the tree where Qian Yeying's clone had just hidden, but another tree not far away.

Qingming remembered that the last time the other party was out of his sight, it was here.

After a careful inspection, some traces were indeed found.

After determining the direction the other party left, Qing Ming chased after him without any hesitation.

In a flash, more than half an hour passed.

Finally, Qingming blocked Qianye in a forest.

"You are really haunted!"

Qianye looked at Qingming who appeared before him again with an unsightly expression.

Although he understood that Qing Ming had discovered his little trick the moment he merged the shadow clone's memory, he also knew that the other party would definitely pursue him.

But he really didn't expect that Qingming would come so soon, even though he had been very careful.

It can only be said that he still underestimated the insight of the Sharingan.

Once the direction is determined, with Qingming's experience and the help of the Sharingan, the opponent will not be able to escape his pursuit.

Qing Ming didn't want to waste time talking to the other party. The battle had dragged on long enough and he didn't want to waste any more time.

So, he used a 'telekinesis' and came directly in front of the other person.

The battle begins instantly!
As a puppeteer, Qianye’s main means are focused on controlling puppets. Without puppets, it is like a tiger without claws.

Although such a tiger can scare people, it cannot hurt people.

Therefore, Qing Ming took down the opponent without much effort.

Looking at Qianye who had fainted on the ground, Qingming thought for a moment and cast the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' to absorb all the chakra in the other person's body.

Then, after carefully dealing with the traces around him, he carried the other person and rushed to the underground space.
