Qian glanced at his left arm from the corner of his eye. Near the wound, he saw dense black lines, with a faint stench rising from them.
Clearly, that Steel Needle from earlier had carried a deadly poison.
There was no time to treat the wound for now. Qian only mobilized his chakra, stimulated that part of his flesh's self-healing ability to resist the poison, then turned to look in the direction the Steel Needle had come from.

At the same time, the Chakra Wings on his back flapped, and he flew straight into the sky, trying to break away from the current battle first.
However, though he wanted to leave, Ao and the three Mist Village Jonin had no intention of letting him go.
