Clang, clang, clang~
The sounds of fighting all around rang out without end.
Yet the place where Qian and the three Mist Village Jonin stood was abnormally quiet, forming a stark contrast with the surroundings.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Qian watched the three of them, and the three of them stared at Qian. No one moved rashly, until—
Whoosh~
A gust of fresh wind blew past, kicking up a cloud of dust and blocking one of the Mist Village Jonin's vision.
At that moment, Qian moved.
A flash of green light suddenly appeared over his body.
Immediately after, it wrapped around his long blade. His Flash Sword Technique was unleashed, and Qian arrived silently in front of that Mist Village Jonin.
Whoosh~
A streak of blade-light flashed past.
"Watch out!"
Off to the side, a Mist Village Jonin threw the Kunai in his hand while shouting a warning.
Say what you would—he was worthy of being a Jonin. His reaction speed was fast. Even though Qian had seized an excellent opportunity, just before the blade reached him, this Mist Village Jonin still raised the Kunai in his hand and made a blocking motion.
Clang~
A crisp metallic collision rang out.
The long blade and Kunai collided, sending sparks flying.
Qian's ears twitched slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept a glance to the side and saw a Kunai shooting toward him.
Immediately, he tilted his head slightly and dodged the attack.
Right after that, he pushed hard with both feet, driving the long blade in his hand straight forward.
To begin with, the Mist Village Jonin in front of him had been pressed for time and had not made the best response. Now, forced like this, he immediately could not stop himself from retreating backward.
