Chapter 227: Forced Killing

“Yellow flash?!”

Seeing the sudden appearance of a figure behind him, Shou’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn’t help shouting out.

That’s right, the person who came was none other than Minato Namikaze.

And with him came a jonin from the Nara clan and a jonin from the Yamanaka clan.

In other words, there were seven jonins from Konoha at the moment, and the command post of the Rock Ninja was not far away.

Although there were jonins among the Rock Ninja guards, and the Rock Ninjas in charge of command were also jonins, but in terms of overall strength, they were still not as good as theirs.

After all, Minato Namikaze’s strength was there, and without the strength of an elite jonin, he could not pose a threat to him at all.

With a glance, Minato Namikaze took in everything around him, and the heavily protected room not far ahead immediately caught his attention.

With a guess in his mind, he immediately cast his eyes on Qingming, but before Qingming could answer, Hinata Feihong said first: “The target is in there!”

As he said that, he pointed to that room.

Now it doesn't matter whether the enemy can hear it or not. Under the current situation, if the enemy still can't guess their plan, it would be too stupid.

After getting a positive answer, Minato Namikaze no longer wasted time and immediately flashed towards those Iwagakure middle and lower ninjas.

Under the pressure of the 'yellow flash', everyone unconsciously stepped back half a step.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind: "What are you afraid of? Follow me!"

As he spoke, a senior ninja from the Iwagakure Village rushed out of the room, passed through a group of Iwagakure ninjas, and rushed straight to Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Kuroki!"

In the crowd, several Iwagakure senior ninjas spoke, and then rushed up.

Kuroki Itten was the commander-in-chief of the Iwagakure attack on the Furyu Town stronghold of Konoha. His strength was between ordinary senior ninjas and elite senior ninjas.

If he was alone, he would naturally not be a match for Minato Namikaze.

However, his appearance gave other Iwagakure ninjas courage, so that many Iwagakure senior ninjas rushed towards Minato Namikaze with him.

This caused some trouble for Minato Namikaze.

In addition, as these Iwagakure jonins took action, other Iwagakure ninjas also began to attack other Konoha ninjas in the field.

For a while, the corridor seemed extremely crowded.

In this situation, no one dared to use powerful ninjutsu, for fear of accidentally hurting their own people.

And this was a bargain for Shou!

Originally, such a narrow place was more conducive to the use of his explosive escape, and now Qingming couldn't use ninjutsu, so he was even more fearless.

Yes, his target was still Qingming.

Although the appearance of Minato Namikaze surprised him for a while, he did not forget Qingming who was close at hand.

So, as soon as the battle started, he immediately threw a right hook at Qingming's chin.

A strong wind came, Qingming exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and his upper body leaned back straight, narrowly avoiding the attack.

But at this moment, a burst of explosions came.

Qingming saw the air in front of him exploded by Shou's punch, and then a shock wave hit him, pushing him straight back.

Da Da Da~

Qingming took several steps back, and felt a dullness in his chest.

Obviously, the shock wave at close range just now still hurt his organs.

However, this damage was really not a big deal for him with a 13-point physique, and he could just take a break.

Qingming stopped and was about to calm down, but Shou didn't give him this opportunity, and directly stepped forward and punched again.

Feeling the huge explosive chakra condensed on his fist, Qingming didn't dare to resist it at all. He just tapped the ground with his toes, slid back a step, opened up the distance, and avoided the attack.

Originally, he thought Shou would use the same trick again, explode the air, and affect his balance.

Unexpectedly, Shou didn't do so. He saw him lightly disperse the chakra on his fist, making this punch mediocre.

Then, he quickly charged, approached Qingming again, and punched him.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Qingming's eyes.

If the opponent had really blown up the air just now, he could have taken the opportunity to retreat and completely distanced himself from the opponent, thus erasing the opportunity he had just lost in throwing the kunai.

Unfortunately, Shou had rich combat experience and saw the pros and cons at once, so he chose to "show mercy".

In this way, he could only continue to bear the cost of his previous choice, continue to be beaten passively, and then try his best to dodge.

However, Qingming was not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, the first blow is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

Qingming did not believe that Shou could maintain such a high-intensity attack. Once the opponent's offensive slowed down, then his chance would come.

Boom boom boom~

Continuous explosions sounded.

Qingming dodged continuously, and Shou punched the wall one by one, and the explosive chakra gushed out, blasting big holes on the wall.

At this moment, Qingming suddenly saw a trace of pain on Shou's face, and his subsequent movements also showed a trace of undetectable slowness.

However, such a flaw that was not considered a flaw was so clear in Qingming's Sharingan.

In an instant, Qingming realized that this was an opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he slightly turned sideways to avoid the vital points, and then stabbed with a sword, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the opponent's heart.

Having had two experiences of fighting, Qingming knew that when fighting with Shou, he could not attack non-vital points, because that would only cause the opponent to exchange injuries.

After all, flesh and blood cannot withstand a single attack from the explosive escape.

Therefore, every attack of his must hit the opponent's vital point.

Only in this way can the opponent be forced to return for help and give up the attack.

As expected, seeing the sword piercing his heart, Shou hesitated for a moment, gave up the attack, and dodged.

If he did not dodge this time, Qingming might be seriously injured by him, but he would definitely die. He did not want to die, so he could only choose to dodge.

And this dodge basically announced that the opponent's previous series of suppression and rush attacks had failed.

At this point, the offensive and defensive situation changed!

Qingming was not polite at all. After the first sword was dodged, he immediately swung the second sword, followed by the third and fourth swords.

His sword was like a violent storm, its momentum was connected into one piece, and its power was concentrated at one point. Every move and every style was aimed at Shou's vital point, making him unable to resist.

For a while, Shou could only passively defend.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Qingming's swordsmanship seemed to have improved a little compared to the last time they fought, which made him more stressed.

······

Time passed by minute by minute.

At a certain moment.

Swish~

The sharp blade cut through the flesh and blood, leaving a blood mark on Shou's body.

Feeling the burning sensation on his arm, Shou's face was quite ugly, and he thought to himself: "I can't go on like this, I must find a way to interrupt his offensive rhythm."

Shou's eyes swept to the walls on both sides of the corridor, and he jumped back with all his strength to avoid Qingming's tricky sword.

Then, he condensed his chakra without stopping and punched the wall next to him.

Boom~

A dull explosion sounded.

He blasted a big hole in the wall, and the soil and gravel splashed, blocking Qingming's pursuit.

Ahem~

Qingming coughed twice, quickly glanced around, and after confirming that his teammates were not nearby, he immediately raised his hand to seal and instantly performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

In the smoke and dust, Shou was about to fight back, and suddenly there was a scorching heat in front of him.

The next moment, a fireball that occupied the entire corridor flew straight over.

Shou secretly said "not good", kicked the ground with both feet, and quickly retreated to the back.

At the same time, he quickly sealed his hands, and finally performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth and Land Return before the fireball came.

He slapped his right hand on the ground, and then pulled it up, and a thick stone slab appeared in front of him, sealing the entire corridor.

Boom~

Through the stone slab, a dull explosion sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the corridor floor also felt a strong vibration, and the dust above the head fell down, making people wonder if it would collapse.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, and the battle in the field seemed to be stagnant for a moment.

Crack~

The sound of something cracking was heard.

Shou was attracted by the sound and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the stone slab blocking the corridor had a crack in the middle.

Crack~ Crack

The crack spread and expanded rapidly, and soon covered the entire stone slab.

‘I can’t hold on.’

This thought came to Shou’s mind.

Then, he no longer wasted chakra to maintain the ninjutsu, kicked the ground with both feet, stood up in an instant, and flew backwards.

Crack~

The familiar sound sounded again.

The next moment, the stone slab completely collapsed and turned into countless fragments.

Then, a raging flame surged from the other end of the stone slab, carrying a high temperature, and rushed straight towards Shou.

Unfortunately, Shou had already moved away, and the flame did not cause any harm to him in the end.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a wind blade suddenly shot out rapidly, passed through the flames, and cut straight into his body along the corridor.

However, seeing this wind blade, Shou was not panicked at all, but instead showed a smile of "as expected" on his face.

Obviously, he had long guessed that Qingming would take the opportunity to perform the "Wind Style: Wind Blade".

How could he not be prepared for a move that hurt him so badly?

Put yourself in his shoes, in the situation just now, the corridor was full of high-temperature flames, and people would definitely not be able to get through.

Then, performing this wind style ninjutsu to launch a sneak attack is the best option, and it is also the best time.

Sure enough, Qingming's choice was the same as he expected.

But since he was mentally prepared, it would not be difficult to dodge it.

Aiming at the attack angle of the wind blade, Shou twisted his body and easily avoided it.

However, at this moment, a figure wrapped in a faint green light passed through the flames and appeared in his field of vision.

Then, a pair of blood-red eyes occupied his entire field of vision, pulling his consciousness into an endless abyss.

"How, is it possible?"

At the moment of his consciousness sinking, Shou said these four words with disbelief on his face.

"Nothing is impossible."

Qing Ming's faint voice came from the front.

The next moment, the short sword pierced straight out, accurately piercing Shou's heart. Until the last moment of his life, he did not wake up from the illusion.
