Tuan Zang, who was already proficient in Wind Release, was now further empowered by the assistance of his summoning beast, the Dream Mamoru, elevating his abilities to a whole new level.
Originally, his "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave" was meant for medium to close-range attacks, but now, with the boost from Dream Mamoru, he had turned it into a powerful long-range technique.
At the moment he performed the jutsu, a gust of air shot out from his mouth, rapidly condensing into a wind blade shaped like a sickle weasel, stretching over several dozen meters.
When this wind blade touched the water sphere, it sank in immediately.
Then, the blade continued its forward momentum, eventually shattering the water sphere's defenses.
Puff~
The sound of the water sphere bursting echoed as the massive water ball, created by Qingming's "Water Release: Great Explosion Water Collision Wave," cracked open, and water gushed outward.
Realizing that he could no longer maintain the technique, Qingming decided to stop wasting chakra and began controlling the spraying water, directing it toward Tuan Zang.
Given the force of the water, if it hit Tuan Zang, he would be severely injured, if not killed.
However, it didn't hit.
Indeed, due to the powerful nature of the technique, Tuan Zang's chakra was still in disarray, preventing him from evading in time. But Dream Mamoru was no slouch.
Upon seeing the water approaching, Dream Mamoru immediately activated its devouring ability again, swallowing up all the water before it could reach Tuan Zang.
This prevented Tuan Zang from being harmed.
Qingming furrowed his brow upon seeing this.
Then, he remembered how Sasuke had dealt with this creature.
With that thought, he stopped trying to maintain the water sphere's shape and let the water spread in all directions.
Waiting for the perfect moment, he saw that Dream Mamoru had consumed most of the water in front of Tuan Zang. Qingming quickly formed a seal and performed another jutsu: "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
In an instant, three enormous fire dragons materialized and, under Qingming's control, charged directly toward Dream Mamoru.
Though Dream Mamoru's devouring ability appeared powerful, it was still fundamentally a Wind Release summoning beast. And Wind Release was weak to Fire Release, making Fire techniques the most effective way to counter it.
However, what surprised Qingming was that Dream Mamoru didn't react the same way it had when facing Sasuke. Instead of being overwhelmed and devoured by the fire dragons, it halted its devouring ability almost immediately.
This meant that Qingming's precisely timed Fire Release did not enter the creature's body.
Not only that, but when the fire dragons came charging, Dream Mamoru's trunk unleashed a massive gust of air, mixed with intense Wind Release chakra, blowing at the fire dragons.
Even Qingming's fire dragons, facing such powerful wind, were halted in their tracks.
After several moments, the fire dragons were blown apart.
That wasn't the end of it!
As the fire dragons dissipated, the scattered flames were carried by the wind, growing larger and turning into a massive firewave, surging back toward Qingming.
Unfortunately for Qingming, he had made an error in his calculations.
He had simply copied Sasuke's strategy, but failed to consider that Dream Mamoru, in this situation, was not in the same condition as when facing Sasuke.
The result was that Qingming's attempt to take a shortcut backfired, leaving him in a difficult spot.
However, this also served as a wake-up call for him, reminding him that information from his memories could not always be trusted.
As for the immediate situation—well, now he had to face the danger created by his mistake.
Seeing the approaching firewave, Qingming showed no hesitation and immediately raised his hand, forming a seal to perform "Water Release: Water Barrier!"
With a loud splash, a massive water wall rose from the water beneath his feet, blocking the flames.
As the fire struck the wall, it only made a sizzling noise and failed to harm Qingming, who stood safely behind it.
However, Qingming's focus was not on the flames returning from the wind; he was far more concerned with Tuan Zang, who was likely preparing to attack during this window of opportunity.
Sure enough, while Qingming dealt with Dream Mamoru, Tuan Zang had used the chance to calm the raging chakra within him. Then, he quickly formed a seal and aimed a jutsu at Qingming: "Wind Release: Vacuum Orb!"
Puff puff puff~
One by one, vacuum bullets shot out of Tuan Zang's mouth, rapidly firing like a machine gun toward Qingming.
Normally, if it were just Tuan Zang alone using this technique, Qingming could easily ignore it, as the water wall would stop all of the projectiles.
But this time, Dream Mamoru was providing its assistance.
With the combination of Tuan Zang and his beast, the power of the technique transformed entirely.
If the vacuum bullets Tuan Zang had fired previously were like handgun bullets, then these were like sniper rounds.
As the bullets struck the water wall, they immediately pierced through it and continued their relentless advance toward Qingming.
Additionally, with the aid of his Sharingan, Tuan Zang's accuracy had improved significantly, making it much harder for Qingming to dodge.
"Ugh, trouble..." Qingming muttered under his breath, observing the dense array of vacuum bullets, before activating his left eye's ability—"Heaven's Grace"!
In an instant, his body vanished from sight.
After Tuan Zang's attack subsided, Qingming reappeared.
Yes, Qingming used "Heaven's Grace" to completely avoid the barrage of attacks.
This wasn't to say that with his regular abilities, he couldn't dodge these attacks—his Sharingan gave him the insight to do so. But using "Heaven's Grace" allowed him to break the flow of Tuan Zang's offensive rhythm.
By doing this, Qingming avoided wasting time dodging and, more importantly, didn't want to remain in a passive state, constantly evading.
With this, his earlier mistake could be swept under the rug, and he would now be in a position to counterattack.
As he reappeared, Qingming was already preparing his next move.
Not far from him, Dream Mamoru stood tall, its attention still focused elsewhere. Taking advantage of this moment, Qingming raised his right hand, gathering chakra in his palm.
In the next instant, the chakra transformed into the shape of a kunai.
A high-pitched buzzing sound rang out as Qingming's chakra kunai began to spin rapidly, tearing through the air.
The wind began to howl, and Dream Mamoru, sensing an intense, dangerous aura, shuddered slightly.
Tuan Zang, noticing the chakra kunai in Qingming's hand, immediately recalled the scenes where Qingming had used this technique in the past.
His expression changed instantly.
Without hesitation, he shouted to Dream Mamoru, "Get out of the way!"
Dream Mamoru, surprisingly agile for its massive size, jumped to the side to avoid the attack.
Qingming's Sharingan quickly locked onto Dream Mamoru's position, and he threw the spinning "Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken" directly at the beast.
With an ear-piercing hum, the shuriken shot forward, aiming at the spot where Dream Mamoru had been.
However, Dream Mamoru had already evaded, and what Qingming had struck was just a fleeting afterimage.
Boom!
A massive explosion echoed in the distance.
Qingming frowned as he watched the aftermath. After a pause, he muttered to himself, "As expected, I can't master it perfectly. There's always a little something missing."
Had his "Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken" been fully mastered to level 10, he could have controlled it from a distance and ensured the hit, making sure Dream Mamoru couldn't dodge.
Unfortunately, there were no 'what ifs'.
