Chapter 818 Confrontation
Less than ten breaths had passed since Qingming’s ambush and attack, and three of the four members of the Yannin group had died.

Now, the only one still alive in the field is Lao Zi.

He also saw the miserable condition of the other three people. He no longer hesitated and immediately transformed himself into a lava tank. He withstand the lightning gathered by Qingming and rushed out of the hundred-meter range of the Thunder Prison.

Seeing this, Qing Ming murmured, “Run? Can you run away?”

As he spoke, he released the ‘Lightning Release: Thunder Prison’.

Then, the whole person rushed out from behind the huge rock, performed the “Instant Body Technique”, turned into a residual image, and chased after the other party at an extremely fast speed.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. At a certain moment, Qing Ming saw that it was almost time, so he immediately raised his hands to form seals and performed another ninjutsu – Water Style: Great Explosion Water Wave!

In an instant, a large amount of water flowed out of his mouth, like a river from the sky flowing backwards, rushing forward.

And I, supported by the waves, continued to rise higher.

A moment later, the dry, hot and barren desert under his feet turned into a huge lake covering an area of ​​one or two kilometers.

Not far away, Lao Zi, who had just been running away, couldn’t help but stop when he saw this earth-shattering scene.

Just by looking at this move, he knew that if he simply ran away, he would not be able to escape from the clutches of the person behind him.

‘We need to adopt a more proactive response strategy’

Lao Zi thought so in his heart.

just
He looked at the lake below him, feeling somewhat uneasy.

You know, the land beneath his feet, and even the entire Land of Earth, is actually not very suitable for the performance of water-style ninjutsu.

The same ninjutsu, when performed here and in other suitable environments, has at least half the power.

The amount of chakra consumed to create such a large area of ​​water is definitely beyond imagination.

Even though he could mobilize the Four-Tails’ chakra to a certain extent, and the amount of chakra he could mobilize far exceeded that of ordinary people, he couldn’t help but feel frightened when he saw Qing Ming’s methods.

After all, the opponent has consumed so much chakra just to restrict the use of his Lava Release. If a real fight breaks out, he doesn’t know what tricks will be waiting for him, so he has to be cautious.

That’s right, what Lao Zi thought was right. Qing Ming did not hesitate to consume a large amount of chakra to create this area of ​​water in order to limit the use of Lao Zi’s molten escape.

There was no other way around it. The opponent was covered in thick lava armor, making it difficult to launch a sneak attack and even magic spells didn’t work. He could only resort to this stupid method.

However, this is not enough, he has to speed up and further consume the opponent’s chakra.

From Black Snake’s memory, he already knew that as early as the four other people discovered that someone was looking for Lao Zi, they had already passed the news back to the Iwagakure Village.

Who knows, the reinforcements from the Iwagakure Village are on the way.

So, he had to act quickly.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer wasted time. He immediately raised his hands to form seals and performed the ninjutsu – Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

In an instant, a huge water dragon emerged from the lake, carrying unparalleled power and pounced on Lao Zi.

Seeing this, Lao Zi didn’t waste any words and immediately jumped up and punched the water dragon.

That’s right, he didn’t use any fancy ninjutsu at all. He just used his right hand wrapped in lava to confront the water dragon condensed by Qingming.

Boom~
The two collided.

The huge water dragon was smashed into pieces by Lao Zi’s blow, turning into water splashes all over the sky. Before it even hit the ground, it was burned into large pieces of water vapor by the high-temperature lava on Lao Zi’s body.

In fact, it was not just this water dragon, but also the lake surface under his feet. Since Qingming was condensed, it was constantly evaporated by the lava on Lao Zi’s body. This made Qingming have to continuously inject a large amount of chakra into the water to maintain its size.

However, Qingming was happy to see this happen.

There is no other reason, this kind of consumption is two-way.

Water escape has a counteracting effect on fire escape.

Although the lava on Lao Zi’s body is not fire escape, but molten escape, the molten escape itself is a fusion of fire escape and earth escape, so it will naturally be restrained by water escape to a certain extent.

In this way, if one wants to evaporate the lake water on the ground, the other party must consume the same amount of chakra, or even more.

Therefore, Qingming is not afraid of consumption at all.

In fact, this was originally part of Qingming’s plan.

He just wanted to consume Lao Zi’s chakra and force the other party to use the chakra of the tailed beast.

In this way, he will have a chance to break through the protection of the lava armor on his body and use illusion to control him. Even if he cannot control him, he can still control the four-tailed beast that has shown enough medium.

As long as he can control the opponent or the Four-Tails for a moment, he can activate the ability of “Heaven’s Control”, get close to the opponent, and then cast “Senluo Wanxiang Seal” to seal it completely.

By then, no matter what means they have, they will not be able to use them.

Of course, these are just plans. How to implement them needs to be flexible and adaptable according to the situation on the field.

like now
Seeing the water dragon being smashed to pieces by Lao Zi’s punch, Qing Ming immediately raised his hands to form seals and performed the “Shadow Clone Technique”.

bang~
As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, two figures appeared on the field.

Without Qingming’s orders, the two shadow clones each chose a direction the moment they appeared and ran towards Lao Zi’s left and right sides.

After Qingming performed the ‘Shadow Clone Technique’, he raised his hands again to form seals and performed another ninjutsu at the fastest speed – Water Style: Water Cutting Wave!

In an instant, a long, thin column of high-pressure water spurted out of his mouth. As his head turned, it quickly cut towards Lao Zi who was rushing towards him.

A strong sense of crisis came over Lao Zi. He did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately dodged and avoided the cutting of the water column.

But this also made him lose the opportunity to get close to Qingming.

Almost at the moment when he dodged the water column and just stood firm, another water dragon rose into the sky, carrying unparalleled power, and pounced on him from the side.

This is also the ‘Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique’!
Sensing the danger, Lao Zi glanced to the right.

Then, he saw the Qingming Shadow clone who had just completed the seal and was now controlling the water dragon to attack.

Even though many ninjas know the Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and it seems to be very common in the ninja world, it is a B-level ninjutsu after all and its power should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Lao Zi did not dare to resist with his body.

Just like before, he mobilized the chakra in his body again, making the temperature of the lava on his fist a little higher, then he stomped on the water surface, jumped up, and punched the water dragon again.

bang~
The small fist collided with the huge faucet skull, making a dull sound.

And the result?

Just the same as before!
Faintly, Qingming seemed to hear a wailing sound.

The next moment, the water dragon condensed by the shadow clone’s “Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique” exploded with its head, turned into water splashes all over the sky, and fell into the lake.
