Chapter 364: Final Encounter

Time goes back to a few minutes ago.

Just when Qingming closed his eyes to digest the shadow clones' training experience and memories, Uchiha Tiehuo suddenly found the traces of the Mist Ninja.

Yes, it was suddenly, and it was not the kind of small boat that could only carry a few people for reconnaissance, but four large warships that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Logically speaking, on this vast sea, let alone four large warships, even a few small boats could be spotted from a distance.

But the fact is that it was not until these ships approached within 200 meters of them that someone was sharp-eyed and discovered the other party.

After careful identification by Qingming's shadow clone, it was found that the way they hid the hull was the same as Xuefeng and others who blocked them more than a month ago, through a layer of ice crystals, refracting light, thus achieving optical invisibility.

After that, Xuefeng's appearance also confirmed his guess.

Yes, after confirming that Qingming and others had discovered them, dozens of people came down from the four warships of the Hidden Mist Village to attack them, and one of them was Xuefeng.

Seeing this scene, Qingming did not hesitate and immediately asked Uchiha Tiehuo and others to evacuate, while he stayed to stop the enemy.

Uchiha Tiehuo and others knew that he was just a shadow clone, so they did not act pretentiously and agreed immediately.

So, after Qingming jumped off the boat, they rowed the boat with all their strength and rushed in the direction they came from.

On the other side, Qingming's shadow clone was strong, but it could not withstand the large number of enemies. If he wanted to delay enough time, he had to avoid getting hurt as much as possible.

So, inevitably, Xuefeng saw some clues.

The other party was also decisive and immediately ordered several Mist Ninjas to defeat his shadow clone at the cost of serious injuries.

This is how Qingming got his memory.

······

On the reef beach.

After Qingming sorted out the memories in his mind, he immediately separated a shadow clone without any hesitation and ordered it to return to the base and summon everyone to prepare to defend against the enemy.

At the same time, his original body ran in the direction where Uchiha Tiehuo and others fled.

Anyway, the other party has done a lot for him, and he doesn't mind helping the other party if he can.

Qingming is very fast. About ten minutes later, he saw Uchiha Tiehuo and others.

Although there were shadow clones to block the enemy, they still couldn't escape the fate of being caught up by another group of Mist Ninjas.

It can be seen that these people have abandoned the ship at some point and are now fighting with several Mist Ninjas.

They fought and retreated, always approaching the reef beach.

Obviously, they also knew that only by joining him could they save their lives.

And Qingming did not disappoint them, and rushed over in just ten minutes.

The moment they saw him, all the Konoha ninjas were greatly encouraged, and the kunai in their hands became more powerful.

On the contrary, when the Mist Ninjas saw Qingming coming on the waves, their expressions changed drastically, and they obviously knew Qingming's identity.

However, with the orders from the upper level, they did not dare to retreat.

Now, they can only hope that their own people will arrive as soon as possible.

However, Qingming glanced at the distance and saw that the Mist Hidden Warships were still quite far away.

So, he joined the battle without any hesitation.

In just a moment, he used the ‘Instant Sword Technique’ to get close to one of them.

Through these days of practice, his ‘Instant Sword Technique’ has been upgraded from lv5 to lv6, and is only one level away from perfection.

Its effect is naturally not comparable to that of more than a month ago.

The Mist Ninja he approached, before the whole person reacted, saw a flash of knife light, and the next moment his head flew high, and was beheaded by Qingming's sword.

This scene really scared several Mist Ninjas.

Seeing this, Qingming seized the opportunity, and performed the ‘Illusion·Sharingan’, and instantly controlled one of them.

Then, a green light flashed on his body, and he performed the ‘Instant Sword Technique’ again to get close.

Another Mist Ninja half predicted and half coincidentally stood in front of the Mist Ninja controlled by the illusion. He raised the kunai in his hand and tried to block Qingming's attack.

However, in his eyes, the long sword swung by Qingming flashed with a sharp edge, and it turned into a stab, aiming at his heart.

At the critical moment, he quickly turned sideways and retracted his arm, trying to block the attack.

However, the next moment, a flash of cold light appeared, and he only felt a slight pain in his throat, and a strong sense of suffocation surged into his brain.

At the same time, he retracted his arm to block the kunai stabbed by Qingming, but blocked the air.

The Mist Ninja looked at the bloody long sword in Qingming's hand, staggered back a few steps, and his eyes were full of doubts.

He opened his mouth to say something, but could only make a meaningless sound: "Ha ha ha ~"

Qingming looked at the other party expressionlessly and retracted the long sword.

The reason why the opponent made such a big mistake was not because of other reasons, but because he used the ‘Illusion Sword Technique’ while swinging the sword, which made him misjudge and he succeeded in one blow.

Otherwise, even if the opponent was just a Chunin, he would not be unable to take his sword.

It can only be said that the ‘Illusion Sword Technique’ is too useful to deal with these Chunins.

Feeling that the opponent's breath was rapidly weakening, Qingming ignored it.

The ‘Instant Sword Technique’ was performed, and his figure flashed again, and he came to the front of the Mist Ninja who had just been controlled by him with the ‘Illusion Sharingan’.

Swish~

A flash of knife light passed by.

Qingming swung the long sword in his hand and easily cut the opponent's throat.

Killing three people in the blink of an eye, Qingming's ferocity shocked many Mist Ninjas, but the next moment, several Mist Ninjas gave up their opponents and rushed towards him.

This was not because they were so brave and fearless, but if they let Qingming kill like this, all of them would die.

Therefore, among these people, the strongest ones all surrounded him.

Seeing this scene, Qingming was not polite at all. He put away the long sword, made seals with both hands, and instantly performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style·Wind Blade!

This technique had just been perfected by him, so it was just right to test it.

Whoosh~

A huge transparent wind blade flew out and attacked a special jonin in front of him. The speed was so fast that it could be said to arrive in an instant.

Puff~

The wind blade passed through the opponent's body.

The next moment, it turned into a pool of water.

At the same time, not far away, the special jonin emerged from the water.

Qingming looked at the other party and could clearly see the deep fear on his face.

Obviously, it was a fluke for the other party to use the ‘Water Substitute’ in the extreme state just now.

Only ninjas who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years can have such a reaction that is faster than their brains.

Otherwise, with the strength of the other party, at the distance just now, with the flying speed of ‘Wind Style·Wind Blade’, it would be almost impossible for him to dodge it just by reaction.

However, the fun of fighting lies in this. Winning and losing are not absolute. The weak can sometimes win by some tricks.

It’s just that

Qingming doesn’t like to be in a weak position, and at the same time he doesn’t want to play some conspiracy and tricks. What he likes to do is actually to suppress others with force and defeat ten skills with one force.

With this thought, Qingming drew out his long sword, injected wind style chakra into it, and the green light flashed, and the ‘Instant Sword Technique’ was performed again.

Swish~

Qingming’s figure appeared in front of the man, and the long sword in his hand swung out, hitting the opponent’s neck directly.

The man reacted quickly and immediately raised the kunai in his hand to block the attack.
