Before Qi could continue doing anything.
The powerful cyclone that Might Duy released further.
It also directly crushed Qi's Ice Flame Blade.
"Snap!"
"Splash!"
The broken pieces of ice crystals were accompanied by a howling wind.
"!?"
Under this impact.
Qi's breathing involuntarily faltered.
It felt as if I had been struck hard in the chest.
This kind of wind, purely generated by force, could actually exert such a terrifying sense of pressure; this truly far exceeded Qi's previous expectations.
'An expert in Taijutsu!?'
Qi's gaze sharpened dramatically at that moment.
This is just Might Duy in his normal mode, without even opening the Eight Gates Released Formation. More importantly, Might Guy in the future will be even more terrifying than his father!
Might Duy and Might Guy, father and son, have truly honed their Taijutsu to the highest level!
However, the more this is the case, the more easily it stimulates the violent intent within Qi's heart, unleashing the Chakra with all his might.
"Smack!"
With a clap of both hands and a pull,
"Buzz!"
That was a finely drawn, bright white, cold light.
But before Qi could further unleash this power...
"Drink!"
In the airspace above.
Might Duy had already taken the lead, directly using his low-altitude sweeping motion to cause the cyclone to break apart.
"Boom!"
The powerful blast wave spread fiercely.
"Hmm!?"
Qi's abdomen seemed to have been hit hard, and his expression changed.
That sudden feeling of being unable to catch my breath, followed by a brief dizziness, was gone in the next moment.
"Whoosh!"
A dark figure suddenly appeared.
"Whoosh!"
That palm strike was held directly to his throat.
And Might Duy's slightly naive smile also made Qi give a wry smile.
In terms of raw power, without activating the Eight Gates.
Of course, Kei could still Might Duy. If you were to say he had a chance of winning, it wasn't impossible. Without opening the Eight Gates, Might Duy, relying solely on his physical abilities, was roughly equivalent to a Jonin. At most, his reflexes were a bit stronger than those of an average Jonin, but his overall strength was still at the Jonin level.
With Zhuo Qi's current strength, the worst he can achieve is a 40/60 split!
However, this would only work if Qi fought entirely in his own style. In the previous exchange, Qi clearly abandoned his advantages and used his weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths!
Qi wanted to test his skills against a Taijutsu expert like Might Duy in close combat!
And the truth is, it's almost utterly untenable!
This is not only reflected in the gap in Taijutsu strength, but also in the fact that Qi is not good at using this kind of combat style, which naturally makes it easy for problems to occur in the attack process, such as the connection between the front and back attacks is not so smooth.
Qi himself can sense it all.
The most direct example is that before Might Duy used ' Leaf Great Whirlwind ', if Qi's strong pressure had been more decisive, Might Duy might not have had such smooth room to maneuver. If he had been a little short here and a little short there, he might not have had such a good chance of maneuvering.
As one side gains and the other loses, so too does the other.
This battle can at least continue, or force Might Duy to open at least two doors!
Only then can we defeat Qi with the strongest possible momentum!
All I can say is...
In this respect, Qi still has a long way to go.
"I lost. Daisan's Taijutsu is really strong, completely beyond my expectations. Why didn't you participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams? No, I should even say, with your strength, why are you still only a Genin?"
Qi readily admitted his defeat.
Then, deliberately with a hint of 'doubt', he looked at Might Duy and asked.
As a transmigrator, although he wasn't entirely clear on the details, he could still roughly understand some things about Might Duy. The reason he asked here was naturally to conform to 'common sense'—a Konoha Ninja of such strength was actually only a Genin.
A normal person would definitely express confusion!
"Ah, there are some other reasons."
When Might Duy heard Qi's words, his eyes clearly darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered, withdrawing his hand and replying in a rather vague tone.
Qi nodded as if he understood, then gave a perfectly timed apologetic look and said, "I was presumptuous, but Dai-san, your Taijutsu is truly amazing; you're the best ninja I've ever seen!"
This is not an exaggeration or falsehood, but a genuine compliment. In the history of ninjas, only Might Duy and his son Might Guy have been able to bring pure Taijutsu to its highest level!
It can only be said that their physique is remarkably compatible with the Eight Gates Released Formation, truly enabling them to break through the limitations of the human body, open the Eight Gates, and unleash their strongest power!
Even if it comes at the cost of one's life.
This is enough to prove the excellence of both father and son.
Qi's praise was truly from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, he even wanted to ask Might Duy for the method of cultivating the Eight Gates Released Formation, but it was just an impulse, and he suppressed it in less than a second!
Because this is something that absolutely cannot be asked.
Putting aside the fact that Qi is currently a Mist Ninja, not Konoha ninja, just explaining how he knew Might Duy could use the Eight Gates is an unavoidable hurdle. He may be a bit simple-minded and hot-blooded, but that doesn't mean he's really a stupid idiot.
Of course, the fact that this question cannot be asked does not mean that other questions cannot be asked.
"Haha, Qi Jun, you're too modest. To have such strength at this age is truly outstanding. Kai, did you see that? That's the kind of role model you should learn from. Also, did you understand the moves I just demonstrated?"
Might Duy looked at his son, who was running towards him excitedly from a distance, and spoke with a slightly serious expression.
"Yes, Dad! I saw it!"
Might Guy tilted his head back, clenched his fists, and shouted back, his eyes shining with an intense fervor as he turned to look at Qi.
That expression was as if he had seen a formidable rival.
Qi was startled, almost instinctively.
'Am I going to become Kakashi 2.0?'
Qi found it somewhat amusing to himself.
Of course, in terms of age, he is indeed the same age as Kakashi and Might Guy, and the difference of one or two years is nothing at all.
However, at this stage, let alone Might Guy who hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy, even Kakashi would definitely not be a match for Kei at this time!
In addition, and most importantly, there is a difference in psychological age.
When facing his peers in this life, it's actually difficult for Qi to truly see things from their perspective.
There's a certain subtlety in the attitude.
