Qingming did not give the Mist Ninjas below him a chance to adjust their mindset. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot, for the more you strike, the weaker you become."
At this moment, the Mist Ninjas had already failed twice in a row. As long as Qingming could suppress them now, they would no longer pose a threat to him, and might even collapse entirely.
With this thought, Qingming immediately formed seals, and in the terrified gaze of the Mist Ninjas, he gathered an enormous fireball. This was none other than the C-rank ninjutsu—Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
However, anyone witnessing this scene would no longer see it as a mere C-rank technique. The fireball rapidly expanded, and once it reached the limit of Qingming's control, he shouted, "Go!"
In the next moment, the massive fireball plummeted downward.
It resembled a second sun, radiating endless light and heat as it crashed toward the Mist Ninjas below.
Several of the Mist Ninjas were frozen in place by the sight of the enormous fireball, too stunned to move.
It was only after a moment that the voice of Ghost Lantern Nozomi rang out, snapping them back to reality. "Run!"
Upon hearing this command, everyone quickly came to their senses, scrambling to use their techniques and fleeing in all directions.
A few seconds later, a loud "Boom!" echoed through the air as the massive fireball landed in the lake.
Immediately, thick white steam filled the air.
The lake below seemed to evaporate in an instant, creating a massive gap in the water.
Not only the lake but also the surrounding sturdy trees that had not been flattened by Water Style: Water Breaking Wave were turned into charcoal by this attack.
Fortunately, this area had already turned into a lake, or else the effects of Qingming's attack would have been even more devastating.
After this massive strike, the advantage that Ghost Lantern Nozomi had previously gained with Water Style: Water Breaking Wave was nullified.
Qingming activated both his Byakugan and Sharingan to their fullest, locking onto the fleeing Mist Ninjas hidden in the white mist. After identifying his target, he dove down to the ground.
Much like his previous "Blitzkrieg," he immediately struck, severely injuring two Mist Ninjas and absorbing their chakra before taking flight again, dodging the attacks of a few more Mist Ninjas in the process.
By now, only eight Mist Ninjas remained, including two Jonin, three Special Jonin, and three Chunin.
However, of those three Chunin, one had been gravely wounded, with a deep chest wound that left him nearly incapable of fighting. Another Chunin had lost half of his arm early on due to Water Style: Water Breaking Wave, significantly diminishing his combat ability. Only one of them was still in relatively good fighting condition.
So, with five Jonin still intact, that left only six combat-capable ninjas.
Compared to the initial numbers, this was a reduction to one-third of their original strength.
However, if one excluded the large number of explosive tags as extra measures, the death of a few Chunin wouldn't decrease the Mist Ninjas' overall fighting power too much. After all, they still had five Jonin left.
The influence of a single Jonin on the battlefield was far greater than that of several Chunin, even a few Special Jonin couldn't compare.
Thus, to truly defeat them, Qingming would need to kill one or two of the remaining five Jonin.
But if they chose to retreat, the space available for Qingming to act would be much larger.
It was then that Qingming stopped hesitating and immediately locked onto a target. He raised his hand to form seals and once again used a jutsu—Water Style: Water Breaking Wave!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three thin, laser-like water streams shot from his mouth, aimed directly at the three Mist Jonin.
The Mist Jonin had already witnessed the power of this jutsu, so they naturally didn't dare to take it head-on and swiftly dodged.
Seeing this, Qingming immediately dove again, landing right in front of the Chunin with the severed arm.
He canceled his Wind Style: Wind Wings, allowing his feet to touch the ground.
Clang!
His long sword was unsheathed!
A faint blue light surrounded his body as he used Instant Sword Technique to swiftly approach the Chunin, seemingly intending to severely injure him again and absorb his chakra.
Upon noticing this, the three Mist Jonin who had just been pushed back by his Instant Sword Technique realized what Qingming was up to. They immediately activated Instant Body Technique, with one blocking in front of the injured Chunin and two flanking Qingming from either side, creating a "pin" formation.
Their coordinated actions showed they had planned this in advance.
However, Qingming, unfazed by this sudden change, had no intention of attacking the injured Chunin. Instead, his eyes shifted upward, locking onto the Mist Jonin he had previously forced to retreat.
As luck would have it, it was the very same Jonin who had been warned off earlier by his Sharingan.
Without hesitation, Qingming activated his Sharingan and focused his gaze on him.
Seeing the red, blood-like eyes of Qingming's Sharingan and sensing the overwhelming mental power, the Mist Jonin, Nishikawa Oji, immediately realized something was wrong. He swiftly closed his eyes and retreated, clearly fearing Qingming's Sharingan genjutsu.
However, Qingming had no intention of using genjutsu on him. Without activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, if the Jonin was on guard, it was unlikely that his genjutsu would work on him.
This was merely a tactic to push him back.
The deterrent power of the Sharingan was just as effective as before.
In that moment, as Nishikawa Oji withdrew, Qingming appeared in front of another Mist Chunin, casting his Genjutsu: Sharingan on him instantly.
As soon as the Chunin raised his kunai to defend, he was frozen in place.
Qingming then swiftly dodged a few kunai that flew at him from the side, reappearing behind the Chunin.
Seeing the rest of the Mist Ninjas preparing to strike, Qingming took this opportunity to form seals and immediately activated Chakra Absorption Jutsu.
He grabbed the injured Mist Chunin by the shoulder, absorbing his chakra, and in the same moment, he vanished from the spot.
A kunai landed where Qingming had stood, followed by the distinct sizzling sound of a detonating tag.
Boom!
The ground where Qingming had been just moments ago exploded, leaving a large crater.
Qingming glanced to the side and saw the one who had thrown the kunai—the Mist Special Jonin who specialized in sensing.
Qingming made a mental note of this, becoming more cautious.
Then, with a series of swift jumps, he avoided a barrage of incoming kunai and shuriken.
After several seconds, Qingming had absorbed all the chakra from the injured Mist Chunin. Along with the chakra he had previously absorbed from the two other injured Mist Chunin, his chakra reserves, which had been somewhat depleted due to his earlier use of Shadow Clones, were once again fully replenished.
With his objective now complete, Qingming wasted no time, discarding the body of the Chunin, and as he continued to evade attacks, he quickly formed seals and cast Wind Style: Wings of the Wind.
In an instant, his speed increased exponentially as he angled himself to fly out of the range of the Mist Ninjas' attacks.
No one was able to stop him, as everything happened so fast. From the moment Qingming descended to the time he took off again, it had all taken less than twenty seconds.
By the time a few Mist Jonin caught up with him, Qingming had already flown above them, and the sense of helplessness filled their hearts.
