Screams rang out one after another.
With one move from Qian, several Mist Ninja were too slow to react. Some had their bodies slashed by the earth spikes, some had the soles of their feet pierced through, and some even lost their lives on the spot.

From this, it was clear that the overall strength of these Mist Ninja was not poor.
Led by two jonin, with a group of fairly capable subordinates, they had been lying in ambush on the road to the reinforcements. This gave Qian a bad feeling.
