Swish~
In a certain part of the forest, two figures were running at full speed.
Along the way, they kept looking behind them, their expressions clearly showing anxiety.
These two were none other than the severed-arm Chūnin and the other Chūnin who had been unable to intervene in the battle between Qingming and the five great Jonin.
Their current condition was still manageable.
Well, at least their running speed wasn't too bad.
In just a short time, they had already sprinted several hundred meters away.
Unfortunately, being targeted by Qingming, this distance wasn't enough.
Indeed, the first to be targeted by Qingming were these two.
There was no choice; after all, they were together.
Qingming didn't want to waste too much time, so he naturally targeted them first.
Using his Byakugan, Qingming locked onto their position, then activated his "Instant Body Technique" and, in just a few breaths, caught up with them.
The two were still running when suddenly, they saw a figure appear ahead of them.
Before they could react, Qingming stomped on the ground, propelling himself like a cannonball, and used his knee to slam into the chest of the previously spectating Mist Chūnin.
Crack~
The sound of bones breaking echoed.
The Mist Chūnin spat out a mouthful of blood from the powerful impact, then flew backward at high speed.
However, before he could even hit the ground, Qingming's figure was already waiting for him.
Swiftly forming hand seals, Qingming used his "Chakra Absorption Technique," reaching out with his right hand to grab the Mist Chūnin by the back of the neck.
In the next moment, Oda Hikari felt his chakra rushing towards the back of his neck, then disappearing in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, all the chakra in his body was drained away.
Originally, Oda Hikari had been severely wounded by Qingming's earlier strike, and now, without chakra, he was even more powerless to resist.
Thus, Qingming held him up while forcefully extracting both his spiritual and physical energy, heading toward the severed-arm Chūnin.
Seeing Qingming approaching steadily, the severed-arm Chūnin trembled as he gripped his kunai with his left hand. His entire body wanted to flee, but he couldn't move.
There was nothing he could do; the pressure Qingming exerted was overwhelming. The deathly aura surrounding him was unmistakably telling him that if he dared to run, he would be killed.
Not to mention the blood-red Sharingan eyes that caused immense psychological pressure.
Under all these factors, the severed-arm Chūnin lost control of his body.
Step~ Step~ Step~
Qingming continued forward. By the time he reached him, the Mist Chūnin in his hand had already been drained of all spiritual and physical energy and had lost all signs of life.
Qingming discarded the Mist Ninja's corpse and reached out toward the severed-arm Chūnin.
As Qingming's hand got closer, the severed-arm Chūnin, not knowing where he found the courage, suddenly broke free from Qingming's dual mental and physical pressure and swung his kunai toward Qingming's throat.
However, the attack was far too slow. Qingming sneered, flicked his finger, and instantly knocked the kunai away before seizing the Chūnin's neck.
"Chakra Absorption Technique!"
The Chūnin struggled for only two or three seconds before Qingming drained all of his chakra. After another few seconds, his spiritual and physical energy were also depleted.
Finally, the severed-arm Chūnin stopped struggling and lost all signs of life.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Qingming raised his hand to form hand seals and used the Fire Style: Burning Jutsu!
Boom~ Boom~
Two fireballs erupted, engulfing the two bodies.
Qingming shook his head and no longer paid attention to them.
His focus shifted to his Byakugan, quickly identifying his next target.
Although these people were scattering in their escape, they were mostly heading away from the Black Stone base. Therefore, Qingming's pursuit of these two wasn't entirely a waste of time.
Raising his hand and forming hand seals, Qingming used the Wind Style: Wings of the Wind.
Swish~
A pair of pale blue chakra wings appeared.
Qingming flapped his wings and shot into the air, pursuing the remaining Mist Chūnin at an incredible speed.
This was the same person he had previously struck with his sword, leaving a deep gash in the chest and abdomen. Although he had received emergency treatment and rested during Qingming's battle with the other Jonin, he was still in poor condition.
Now, he was with another Mist Special Jonin whose injuries weren't as severe.
Qingming didn't know their exact relationship, but since this Mist Special Jonin was trying to protect him, it meant there were weaknesses he could exploit.
Although in a one-on-one situation, he no longer had to worry much, it was still better to conserve energy when possible.
Two minutes later.
Qingming looked at the bloodied corpse of the Mist Chūnin lying on the ground, his expression not looking pleased.
What protection for a companion?
Complete nonsense!
The Mist Special Jonin had been using the Chūnin as bait.
The Chūnin possessed a strange curse seal technique that could turn the human body into a bomb for a suicidal attack.
During their escape, this technique had been secretly applied to the accompanying Mist Chūnin.
When Qingming caught up to them and restrained the Mist Chūnin, ready to absorb his chakra, the curse seal triggered, causing the Mist Chūnin to explode. If Qingming hadn't reacted in time, he might have been severely injured.
Qingming raised his head and looked at the grinning Mist Special Jonin in front of him.
The Jonin had tried several times to form hand seals, but had failed every time.
After all, not everyone could break free from the "Illusionary Binding Technique" like Orochimaru.
Indeed, the Mist Special Jonin had been given an opening by Qingming and had been subjected to the "Illusionary Binding Technique," which restricted his movements. Although his mind was still clear, his body was completely immobilized.
Qingming had originally planned to say a few words, but in the end, he didn't know what to say. He simply raised his hand to form hand seals and used the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to begin draining his chakra.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
As expected of a Jonin, even a Special Jonin had much more chakra to drain than a Chūnin.
Qingming spent a full seven seconds draining nearly 14,000 points of chakra from him before fully depleting his energy.
It was unfortunate for the other Chūnin, though, who had lost a few thousand points of chakra for nothing.
Boom~
He let the Jonin's body fall to the ground.
Qingming repeated the process, using the Fire Style: Burning Jutsu to destroy the two bodies.
He then activated the Wind Style: Wings of the Wind again, soaring into the sky. With his Byakugan, Qingming pinpointed the positions of the remaining four.
After some time had passed, they had scattered quite a bit.
After thinking for a moment, Qingming raised his hand, forming the "Ren" seal, and used the Shadow Clone Technique.
Boom~
With a puff of chakra smoke, his form split into four.
Qingming gave a nod to the three shadow clones, instructing them to chase the remaining three Mist Jonin, while he himself pursued the most powerful one: Kisame Hoshigaki.
