A chilling charge!
It was clear that the dove was going to pour all its strength into this attack, moving at high speed without any hesitation or pause.
The lightning enveloping its entire body shone with an incredibly terrifying brilliance at this moment, and a terrifying shockwave surged forth.
"Boom!"
An approaching figure.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
Without dodging or avoiding, the figure charged straight in with overwhelming force, its short sword raised high, and the dark blue arc of lightning growing ever thicker.
laugh!
A series of piercing sounds followed.
Ice Release!
As the dove drew nearer, closing in on him in an instant, Qi's expression turned incredibly grave and terrifying. Avoid it!? Retreat!?
No!
My speed is nowhere near that of a Jonin from Kumogakure!
Stimulated by the Lightning Release Chakra, this Cloud Ninja is now beyond the limits of what Kei's eyes and senses can detect.
Even just looking at it seems so forced, let alone the physical avoidance!?
If you retreat, death will be your only fate; there is no other possibility!
I must withstand this final, powerful attack; that is my only chance of victory.
A fleeting glimmer of hope!
This blatant and readily graspable judgment.
With a clap of his hands, all the Chakra he had mobilized was unleashed in that instant.
Sizzle!
A violent tearing sound came from the air.
From its frontal angle.
A perspective that faces you head-on.
Their bloodthirsty, crimson eyes met each other's.
"You brat! Die!"
"Splash!"
The power that Jiuna unleashed in its entirety, the final layer of ice crystal that was shattered.
The two were very close to each other.
The face is clearly visible.
"Whoosh!"
The short sword flashed with a dazzling swing, its beautiful shadow spreading downwards.
The sharp, forceful feeling that was released.
"The one who should die is you!"
The figure that came into view.
A look of madness appeared in Qi's eyes.
All around, waves of ice crystals shimmered and rose!
"!?"
From the angle that enveloped everything, the terrifying and chilling scene was poised to erupt, enveloped by layers of shadows.
"You bastard!"
As Jiu's expression changed, a resolute look also appeared deep in his eyes; this was a moment when there was no way out.
He cannot, dares not, and is unwilling to back down here!
Kill that brat in front of you!
This was the only thought in the dove's mind at that moment.
" Liger Bomb!"
The bursting thunder, the intruding shadows of lightning.
Precise and sharp pressure.
Once again, the lightning-fast dagger aimed straight at Qi's throat, catching him completely off guard and unable to react.
It pierced Qi's throat deeply.
"Bite!"
At the moment of touch.
The sound that followed was like the clashing of metal.
"This is!?"
When Jiu saw the layer of dazzling yet incredibly hard ice crystal wall that appeared above Qi's throat, his pupils suddenly contracted!
At this moment!
That towering tide of ice crystals.
They've already arrived in droves!
"How can this be repaired!"
This final, frantic moment.
"You'll go to hell too, you brat!"
This is the last wisp of potential squeezed out of the nerves that have been fully stimulated.
"Snap!"
In the final moments before the ice tide was about to engulf everything, the ice crystals shattered.
It contrasted sharply with the dove's pair of incredibly fierce, scarlet eyes.
"Pfft!"
Just as the lightning-struck dagger pierced the surface of the opened throat...
Qi's gaze remained extremely cold and stern, his body and neck twisted forcefully.
"You bastard!"
Upon seeing the moment, Jiu wanted to adjust his posture accordingly, but ultimately, due to the injury he had sustained from Qing, coupled with the intense stimulation and burden brought by this Lightning Release Armor, his body was fatally slow by half a beat at that moment.
This was the most fatal blow that caused Qi to be twisted.
"Sizzle!"
The short knife, slashing diagonally downwards, cut down Qi's neck, leaving a horrific wound in his chest.
No! You're the only one going to hell!
And accompanied by those coldly uttered words. (Tianlai Novel Network)
"Boom!"
Within seconds.
The surging ice tide completely engulfed Qi and Jiu in the next moment.
"No!"
The sound of a massive, crashing tide, and the powerful ripples that spread outwards.
"!?"
As the last breath faded away.
The dove, which was so close at hand, had been transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture. Upon seeing this, Qi's heartstrings relaxed, and a faint look of joy appeared on his lips.
He had finally defeated the Cloud Ninja before him.
Even if the other party was injured, even if you gave it your all and almost died to get this result, victory is victory!
That's beyond doubt!
Not to mention, this enemy is a Jonin from Kumogakure!
'Finally... we won...'
And it was at this very moment.
Qi's vision gradually darkened. His strength and Chakra seemed to be drained, his limbs felt cold, his breathing became weaker, and he couldn't stop the bleeding. Although Qi had tried his best to avoid vital points and was not killed by Jiu in one blow,
But after all, these two severe blows were still quite devastating!
In particular, the Lightning Release Chakra that seeped in during that final strike damaged many of Kei's cells!
Multiple layers of damage stacked together.
This also led to Qi's completely severe injury.
After a tremor.
Qi swayed and collapsed onto the ground before falling into a deep coma.
All that could be heard were two slightly anxious shouts coming from afar.
"Start!?"
"Start?"
The two figures were Mei Terumi, who had just barely killed the Chunin, and Ao, who had rested for a while and finally regained some mobility, barely able to stand up.
Upon witnessing Qi's powerful defeat of Jiu, a Kumogakure from Jonin, both men showed expressions of extreme shock and worry.
Each of them was subconsciously moving closer to Qi's position.
"Splash!"
"Bang!"
Looking at the giant ice crystal formations layer upon layer in the center, and the increasingly chilling power that could be sensed the closer one got.
Mei Terumi Ao, a Jonin from Kirigakure, stared wide-eyed at this moment, unable to hide the shock in his heart.
He truly hadn't expected Qi to be this strong.
However, now is not the time for sentimentality.
Whether it was Ao or Mei Terumi, as they approached the close-range area, they were also rapidly heading towards the location where Kei and Hato were dueling.
As the layers of icy waves receded...
The two of them could clearly see that the dove had been completely turned into an ice sculpture, and Qi, who was lying in a pool of blood, his face pale.
"!"
Upon witnessing this scene.
The two men's expressions changed immediately.
Then he quickly moved closer.
"Qi, are you alright?"
Looking at the horrific knife wound on Qi's chest, and the blood that had completely stained his clothes red.
Mei Terumi's expression turned extremely ugly.
"It's alright. Although the wound looks deep, it didn't damage any internal organs."
Ao, being a Jonin after all, breathed a slight sigh of relief after approaching and examining Qi's wounds.
