When Qingyun saw Ōnoki finally appear, he immediately unleashed Chidori Stream. Red arcs of electricity covered his body, and a bolt of Red Lightning coiled around the Azure Edge Sword. Using Fengshen Leg, he raced toward Tsunade and the other two.
Boom!
Qingyun reached the three and wielded Quanzhen Swordsmanship in an impenetrable flurry, forming a curtain of blades above their heads. Ōnoki's fist slammed into it with a dull thud, then punched straight through and hurtled toward Qingyun.
Qingyun's expression changed sharply. He had still underestimated the power of Ōnoki's charged strike. Immediately releasing the Azure Edge Sword, he hurriedly used Tai Chi Fist to defend himself.
But he had too little time. Although Tai Chi Fist offered formidable defense, it still struggled against a veteran powerhouse like Ōnoki. Fortunately, the curtain of blades had already impeded Ōnoki's Rock Fist. Though it shattered the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Diagram, the attack's remaining force was neutralized.
"You again, brat. Good. Killing four of Konoha's geniuses today will make this trip worthwhile."
Seeing that Qingyun had blocked his attack, Ōnoki took a closer look and immediately recognized him. Hovering in the sky, he looked down at Qingyun with a sneer.
"Old man, anyone can talk big. Have you forgotten how you scrambled to dodge your own attack last time?"
Hearing Ōnoki's words, Qingyun calmly raised his head and mocked him.
"Hmph. Let's hope your strength is as impressive as your mouth. Earth Release: Steel Shackles Technique!"
Ōnoki snorted at Qingyun's taunt and rapidly formed hand seals. A monster made of yellow-brown stone appeared on the battlefield, then swiftly charged at Qingyun.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Tornado!"
Qingyun showed no fear as the rock monster charged. He formed seals with his left hand to unleash Lightning Release while drawing the Azure Edge Sword
