"Heh~"
Standing still and feeling the chakra in his body become active once again, Qingming cracked his neck and looked at the four vigilant Root ninjas surrounding him, letting out a cold laugh.
He raised his foot, preparing to take a step.
In the next instant, a sharp pain shot through his body.
Qingming furrowed his brows, glancing down at his body.
He could see that the blackened skin from the earlier lightning strike was peeling away, while his internal blood and flesh began to rejuvenate.
Clearly, now that the seal barrier had been lifted, his body's incredible self-healing ability was starting to take effect.
However, it had still only been a short time, and it was not enough for his injuries to fully heal.
"Sure enough, a body stat of 19 still isn't enough!" Qingming muttered to himself. He raised his hand and formed seals, activating an A-rank healing ninjutsu—Tenshinjutsu!
A surge of powerful Yang chakra gathered in his hands and was directly channeled into his chest.
Instantly, his body began to recover rapidly, with the healing effect centered on his chest.
There was no mystery to it: with Tenshinjutsu near level 8, almost at level 9, combined with the enhanced self-healing from his 19-point Body stat, the results were extraordinary.
Moreover, although his injuries had seemed severe, they hadn't inflicted critical damage to his internal organs.
Thus, his recovery was relatively fast.
Feeling the rapid restoration of his body, Qingming looked once again at the four Root ninjas who had closed in on him and said淡ly: "Alright, it's your turn."
His voice was calm, but the murderous intent within was unmistakable.
At this moment, if an ordinary person or a freshly graduated ninja were standing here, they would likely be scared out of their wits and collapse in fear, losing all fighting spirit, awaiting their demise.
However, these Root ninjas were no ordinary people, nor were they mere rookies.
On the contrary, after undergoing brutal training, their willpower was formidable. They were not afraid of Qingming's threat and did not show even the slightest change in expression in response to his killing intent.
Moreover, almost as soon as Qingming spoke, they acted first.
Since they no longer had to worry about maintaining the seal barrier, their first move was an immediate ninjutsu assault.
Among them, the first to launch an attack was the Root elite jonin who had just used Lightning Release.
In the blink of an eye, he completed the hand seals and pointed his finger at Qingming, firing a bolt of lightning with incredible speed—so fast that even most jonin would struggle to react.
However, in Qingming's eyes, this attack was child's play.
Not only now, but even when he was under the seal barrier's suppression, he could clearly see such attacks with his Sharingan.
However, at that time, it might have been harder to dodge.
But now—
Clang!
His long sword unsheathed!
A faint green light flickered around Qingming's body, signaling the use of his Instant Sword Technique.
Suddenly, his speed surged.
The incoming lightning narrowly missed him.
In the blink of an eye, Qingming appeared beside the Root elite jonin.
Whoosh~
The blade flashed.
Qingming slashed toward the enemy's neck.
Sensing the danger, the Root elite jonin immediately ducked, evading the attack and quickly extending his right hand to thrust a concealed kunai from his sleeve. The target was Qingming's vital organs.
In the next moment, the kunai passed through Qingming's body, but there was no physical sensation of impact.
Looking nearby, Qingming had already appeared before another Root elite jonin.
It turned out that when Qingming's initial attack failed, he changed targets immediately, leaving behind only an afterimage.
The new target was none other than the Root ninja who specialized in sound-based ninjutsu.
At this moment, he was still in the process of preparing a ninjutsu.
Clearly, he intended to coordinate with the previous elite jonin.
Unfortunately, with the seal barrier gone, Qingming's speed was simply too fast, and he did not give them the chance.
Seeing the long sword coming at him, the Root ninja specializing in sound-based ninjutsu did not hesitate for a second. He quickly decided to act.
He took a small step back, avoiding the fatal blow, and began rapidly forming hand seals with both hands, preparing to unleash the ninjutsu he had been setting up.
Seeing this, Qingming hesitated for just a moment. In the current situation, it was obvious that his opponent was intending to trade injuries. If he landed his blow, even if the enemy didn't die, it would be a serious wound.
However, at the same time, the sound-based ninjutsu would also hurt him.
At that point, with two other Root ninjas poised to strike, he would be in danger.
But Qingming hesitated for only a fraction of a second before quickly calculating his next move. His blade did not slow down, and he swung it at the Root ninja before him.
Slice~
The sound of the blade cutting through flesh rang out.
In an instant, Qingming had carved a deep wound through the Root ninja's chest, exposing bone.
Spurt~
Blood gushed from the wound.
Immediately, the Root ninja's face turned pale.
But even in this condition, he did not stop his hand seals.
With Qingming watching closely, the ninja opened his mouth and expelled a visible ripple.
Suddenly, an invisible soundwave spread out, entering Qingming's body.
In the next moment, Qingming felt an excruciating pain in his internal organs, and his face paled.
"A soundwave?" Qingming instantly recognized the nature of the attack.
This wasn't because his reaction was particularly fast, but rather because he had been caught off guard by a similar technique from a Mist ninja before.
Thanks to that experience, he had taken precautions when he saw the signs of the sound-based ninjutsu.
It seemed his caution had paid off.
Moreover, with the chakra he had gathered in his chest earlier, the damage from the soundwave was somewhat mitigated.
After all, all ninjutsu attacks, regardless of their form, relied on chakra to take effect.
Thus, by concentrating his chakra, Qingming could resist some of the damage, even without using a counter-ninjutsu.
At this point, the advantage of having an ample chakra reserve became apparent.
Although Qingming's chakra was only about one-fifth of its full capacity, that was still over 25,000 points of chakra.
This was enough to nullify much of the impact.
Therefore, despite the attack, Qingming didn't suffer significant harm and could still move.
And that was enough.
Just as the soundwave struck, Qingming executed a quick roll, avoiding the sneak attacks from the other two Root ninjas.
Indeed, if these two managed to land a successful blow, he would be in a dangerous position.
But the key problem was that they had to succeed first.
With his Byakugan keeping track of every move, nothing escaped Qingming's sight. There was no way they could succeed.
Thus, Qingming boldly turned the tables, using their desire to exchange injuries to deal a severe blow to one of them.
From the looks of it, he had won. The Root elite jonin before him had completely lost his fighting capability, while Qingming had only suffered some minor injuries.
Moreover, these injuries were rapidly healing.
