They are not particularly formidable enemies.
While they were experienced and their teamwork was fairly good, they were ultimately just two ordinary Genin with nothing special about them. Given their insufficient strength, it was only natural that they were killed by Qi.
After killing the two Genin, Qi planned to go and support Mei Terumi. The other chunin Chunin Kumogakure was obviously a step above the one Qi had killed before, and was more cautious and meticulous. Even though his opponent was a little girl like Mei Terumi, after realizing that his other three teammates were likely all dead and seeing Mei Terumi's Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, he had no intention of underestimating her!
I don't necessarily need to win in a short time. I just need to drag it out until the outcome is decided by my master, Lord Dove!
Sufficient strength!
With the right mindset and the most suitable tactics, this Chunin was impossible for Mei Terumi to find a weakness in in a short time and defeat. The two were caught in a fierce tug-of-war.
And it was just as Qi was about to go to provide support.
"Bang!"
In a distant location.
A figure flew in like a cannonball.
It slammed heavily onto the ground not far from Qi, the dull thud and the billowing dust immediately attracting Qi's attention.
"Cough cough..."
Just one glance.
Qi's expression changed drastically, because the figure was none other than his team's Jonin instructor, Ao, who was emitting violent coughs, looking increasingly miserable, and whose aura had weakened considerably.
All of this proves that Zhuo Qing has been completely and severely damaged!
Directly opposite Qing, Jiu stepped forward with a cold expression, surrounded by lightning bolts.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
As he emitted sounds resembling the chirping of birds, an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from his body.
However, the trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth proved that this Jonin from Kumogakure had paid a price for defeating Ao.
Therefore, Jiu showed no mercy the moment he saw Qing severely injured and fall to the ground.
" Lightning Release: False Darkness Jutsu!"
That was the mark that appeared immediately.
"Boom!"
In the sky above, a swamp of thunder suddenly exploded.
The light was clearly aimed at Qing's location.
"Zzzzzzzzz!"
It bombarded down with tremendous force.
Seeing this, Qi naturally couldn't care less about supporting Mei Terumi anymore. He quickly turned around, his Chakra exploding beneath his feet, and sped towards the spot where Ao had fallen.
As they moved, they immediately Hand Seals.
Ice Release: Ice Wall Jutsu!
The large amount of Chakra extracted then appeared out of thin air in front of Ao just before the beam of lightning arrived, forming a crystal-clear wall of ice.
"Boom!"
"Splash!"
The deliberately increased Chakra output, which condensed into a thicker, multi-layered ice wall, barely managed to block the lightning beam after several layers of it were shattered!
" Ice Release: Swallow Snow Storm Jutsu!"
Then, another Ice Release attack technique was unleashed through Hand Seals, further closing in on the dove in the distance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi sped up and arrived directly beside Qing, helping the severely injured Qing to her feet. With a hint of anxiety, he asked, "Teacher Qing!?"
"Ahem... I'm sorry... Qi... I..."
"Don't say anything yet, Teacher Qing!"
The violent coughing, the increasingly weak breathing, and especially the uncontrollable, continuous flow of blood that had completely stained the blue robe, particularly the large, charred gash on the lower side of the abdomen, were so obvious and so horrifying. At this point, Qing was not only unable to continue fighting, but even standing up again was extremely difficult. If he were simply left unattended, he would almost certainly die from his injuries within an hour.
However, Qi clearly doesn't have the time or the ability to give Qing critical treatment right now; he can only treat Qing's most serious wound.
Just as he placed Qing against a large tree nearby to rest, "Boom!"
The dove, positioned in the distance, was already aggressively closing in.
"As expected of a bunch of useless trash, you couldn't even hold off a brat. But your time is up, you little brat from the Yuki Clan. Today, right here, is your death day!"
Jiu glanced coldly at his two subordinates not far away, a look of disdain on his face, and said to Qi Han in a cold voice.
This Cloud Village Jonin felt no sorrow for his fallen subordinates. In his view, it was only natural for the weak to be killed, and as a great Cloud Ninja, if he couldn't even kill a newly graduated brat, he was utterly useless and not worth caring about at all!
The dove only cares about the success or failure of the mission, nothing more!
Qi's expression tightened even more when he saw Jiu's posture.
Lightning Release Chakra stimulates cell activation!
This is an option any ninja with Lightning Release Chakra can choose to do, but being able to do it and being able to do it are two different things!
Even in the Kumogakure, where Lightning Release Chakra is the primary source of power, only a minority of Cloud Ninja can use this technique!
This not only involves the change in the nature of Chakra, but more importantly, if it is not controlled properly and the cells are overstimulated, it will directly cause very serious damage to the body!
But those who can be easily controlled.
This is precisely what allows us to unleash greater power and faster speed!
Although Qi had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, Uchiha Sasuke in the original work was the best example.
When the opponent's strength is far superior to one's own.
Qi's muscles were all unconsciously tensed to the extreme.
The palms clenched tighter and tighter.
At this moment, even their breathing rate became slightly erratic.
"Hehe!"
The dove in the opposite position could also keenly sense this, a cruel smile appearing in its eyes.
"Boom!"
With a push of the foot.
A figure approached with lightning speed, flashing past in a burst of light.
The chilling killing intent hidden in the shadows.
The next moment.
The dove drew near, right in front of them.
The short sword swung down suddenly from above.
"Go to hell, you brat!"
"Clang!"
With overwhelming force, it swiftly and forcefully deflected the Kunai pierced straight towards Qi's neck.
Within sight.
That incredibly sharp bolt of lightning seemed to penetrate directly into Qi's body, causing Qi's soul to tremble at that moment.
