Xiao Meng's Fierce Battle Against Zabuza!

"Dao Child?"

Whether it was Zabuza or Kakashi, both were somewhat puzzled upon hearing that title. They had never heard of such a person before.

However, combined with what had been said earlier, they could roughly guess that this so-called Dao Child held a very high status within the Dao Sect.

Xiao Meng had no interest in explaining further. Clear Qi flowed beneath her feet, and her figure turned into an afterimage as she shot forward, arriving before Momochi Zabuza in the blink of an eye.

With a ringing sword cry, the famed sword Qiu Li instantly left its sheath and thrust toward his vital point.

Zabuza's expression tightened, and he could not help but sigh inwardly, What a fast Body Flicker Technique!

Immediately afterward, he raised the Executioner's Blade before him, blocking her attack.

Yet Xiao Meng's wrist flicked slightly, and a thread of sword qi passed through his weapon, slicing through his clothes and leaving a wound across his chest.

Zabuza was startled and quickly swung his great blade, forcing her back.

But Xiao Meng immediately pursued him with her movement technique. Qiu Li's forms shifted without pause, sword lights flashing one after another—sharp and fierce, with the power to cleave metal and shatter stone.

Zabuza wielded the Executioner's Blade, continuously fending off the sword qi. Their figures crossed again and again, but after only a few breaths, several more bloody wounds had appeared on his body.

Chen Feng watched the intense battle with great focus.

In his view, Xiao Meng and Zabuza were roughly on the same level, but their different cultivation systems caused them to emphasize different strengths.

For example, chakra and ninjutsu possessed greater explosive power, allowing them to unleash devastating force in an instant.

Dao School techniques, on the other hand, were more enduring and profound, smoother to employ and better suited for precise control.

When there was little difference in strength between two sides, the key was who could seize the initiative. Zabuza clearly understood this as well.

After exchanging several blows, he swiftly formed a one-handed seal. "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

A surge of chakra spread out, and thick white mist rapidly enveloped an area dozens of yards wide.

Everywhere the eye could see was a boundless expanse of white.

This was his specialty: creating mist to obstruct his opponent's vision, allowing him to conceal himself and carry out assassinations.

Seeing the change in her surroundings, Xiao Meng merely snorted coldly. "A cheap trick. You actually want to use such an illusion within the barrier of World Losing Color? How laughable."

As her words fell, she lightly stepped forward. A Yin Yang Fish Pattern rippled outward, while the power of World Losing Color intensified once more.

Even the dense, flowing white mist seemed to freeze in an instant. Everything became still.

Xiao Meng made no further movements. Light flowed over the sword in her hand as pure inner force continuously poured into it.

A few breaths later, a cold gleam flashed through her silver eyes. She spun around, and Qiu Li slashed out fiercely.

Accompanied by a sharp whistle through the air, a powerful wave of sword qi swept across the area, instantly clearing away all the surrounding mist. Then it struck toward Zabuza, who had been preparing a sneak attack.

Momochi Zabuza was shocked. He had not expected his unique ninjutsu to be broken so easily.

Feeling the terror of that sword qi, he did not hesitate. Gripping the Executioner's Blade with both hands, he swung it down with all his strength.

A violent blast of force erupted. Zabuza felt the surging sword intent stabbing into his body, forcing him to retreat again and again and leaving two deep tracks in the ground beneath his feet.

After driving him back with one sword strike, Xiao Meng's true qi surged rapidly. A green glow emerged, condensing into mysterious characters that gathered neatly before her.

They slowly drew together, turning into specks of light before instantly forming a yellow Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram made of true qi.

As vast inner force flowed forth, her sword naturally floated before her. A mysterious gleam radiated from its blade as it gave a soft hum, and the surrounding air trembled at a peculiar frequency.

"Heavenly Sound!"

As her words fell, a wondrous rhythm spread outward, filling the entire space with unprecedented tranquility and peace.

Immediately afterward, a faint sound arose from the void, seeming to ring beside their ears while also seeming to come from beyond the horizon.

Though it was only barely audible, it seemed to possess a power that pierced straight into the heart, capable of silently dispelling all conflict in the world.

Chen Feng's expression shifted slightly at the sight.

As the saying went, the greatest sound was nearly silent; the greatest form was formless.

He could sense that what Xiao Meng had used was an extraordinarily powerful Dao School secret art.

It was just that her cultivation was insufficient, making it difficult for her to unleash its true might. If she were stronger, she might even be able to directly resonate with heaven and earth.

With a flick of her sword fingers, the weapon brimming with powerful energy shot forward at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, gleaming brilliantly as it flew toward her opponent.

Momochi Zabuza's expression changed, and he unleashed his own ultimate technique. He set down the Executioner's Blade and immediately formed seals with both hands. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As dense chakra erupted, streams of water instantly surged forth, taking the form of a dragon and diving directly toward the incoming sword qi.

Raging shockwaves rose as the two powers continuously eroded and wore each other down, terrifying energy scattering in all directions.

But as a wave of Dao rhythm spread out, the water dragon was shattered outright, turning into mist that filled the sky.

At the same time, Xiao Meng held Qiu Li and flashed forward like lightning, appearing before Momochi Zabuza in the blink of an eye as she thrust her sword!

Zabuza had no time to change his move. In desperation, he could only grasp the incomparably sharp blade with his bare hands. But how could flesh and blood withstand such a weapon?

In an instant, blood streamed from both his hands. The sword tip mercilessly pierced into his chest, and the invading sword qi severely wounded him at once.

He let out a muffled groan as blood dyed his entire chest red.

Zabuza gritted his teeth and threw a punch with all his strength, forcing her back. Then he immediately picked up the Executioner's Blade, used the Water Clone Technique, and rushed in another direction.

However, before he could even leave the street, a blinding bolt of lightning flashed past, instantly dispersing the clone and knocking back the real body as well.

Looking up, he saw a white-haired young man in a green vest standing in front of him, blocking his path. It was Kakashi, who had been hiding in the shadows.

He had been nearby all along. The reason he had not shown himself immediately was, first, to observe Xiao Meng's origins, and second, to strike at the critical moment and kill Momochi Zabuza once and for all!
