In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

It was also because he had been in a slacker state before, so he didn't have a good understanding of his own strength.

Of course, more than that, it was because he was unexpected enough. Tsuchiishi probably didn't expect that the Konoha brat who couldn't withstand his punch would suddenly transform into a hedgehog covered in thorns.

At the same time, Qifeng didn't notice the system pop-up after fully activating the Corpse Bone Pulse.

【Bloodline Limit Corpse Bone Pulse: +10 Body!】

This is the true manifestation of the Bloodline Limit in the system's evaluation.

His original 45 points in Taijutsu plus 10 points suddenly reached 55 points, directly approaching a Jonin.

The fracture of his arm and the piercing of his chest finally made Tsuchiishi react.

Gritting his teeth, he supported himself against the wall with his remaining left hand, stabilized his center of gravity and leverage point, and raised his foot to deliver a whip kick towards Qifeng's head.

Bang!

Qifeng blocked with his left hand.

However, the blood vessels on his left arm burst instantly due to the huge impact, and wanton blood gushed out from the various capillaries in his arm.

At the same time, he staggered, loosened his grip on Tsuchiishi's bone spear, and allowed him to escape.

Losing an arm, coupled with the penetrating wound in his chest, was definitely a huge blow to Tsuchiishi.

Mouthfuls of blood flowed from his mouth as if it were free.

But a Jonin is still a Jonin, and a Jonin excelling in physical strength at that. He took a deep breath, clenched his left hand, and charged towards Qifeng.

Sharingan locked on, Corpse Bone Pulse defense.

The battle once again turned into a one-sided beating.

The only difference was that Qifeng, who had exhausted his trump cards, and Tsuchiishi, whose wounds were constantly overflowing with blood, were seeing the gap between them constantly narrowing.

"I still haven't mastered the Corpse Bone Pulse, otherwise, one 'Fern Dance' would directly skewer him into a meat kebab." Qifeng stared at Tsuchiishi's storm-like offensive through the gaps in the bones, his mind racing, distracting himself from the pain caused by the bone separation.

There was no way around it. Although the extracted bones could be repaired instantly, the pain would not disappear.

He originally thought that the Corpse Bone Pulse obtained through the system was a complete Corpse Bone Pulse, capable of instantly unleashing its full power.

Facts proved that he was overthinking it.

Even if the Corpse Bone Pulse was a powerful Bloodline Limit, he had only obtained it recently, had just mastered a few superficial aspects, and had not unleashed its due power at all.

Otherwise, Qifeng in this state would not just be approaching Jonin strength, but would definitely be above Jonin level.

Bang!

Tsuchiishi landed another punch, sending Qifeng staggering back several steps.

But he failed to pursue relentlessly like before, his attacks continuous.

Instead, he supported himself on his knees, his chest heaving violently.

However, the more he tried to breathe, the more blood spurted from his chest.

At this moment, his face had become somewhat pale.

He probably wouldn't have thought that the battle between the two would evolve into the current situation.

All because he stepped on a corpse.

If he had known this would happen, he should have used his full strength from the start.

Now the held-back breath had dissipated, his limbs were becoming increasingly weak, and his eyelids were beginning to droop uncontrollably.

Was death coming?

He suddenly felt a little lost.

Qifeng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't feel good at all. Each of the opponent's punches felt like swinging a sledgehammer.

His left hand had also burst under the opponent's heavy blows.

Fortunately, the bones were relatively hard, coupled with the Corpse Bone Pulse's recovery ability, he had barely regained his ability to move.

He glanced at the shield made of bones, which was covered with fine cracks.

This was the bone of the Corpse Bone Pulse!

"Cough cough..."

Tsuchiishi coughed violently.

Qifeng's face was cold, without the slightest intention of sympathizing.

Dragging the bone spear, he cautiously took steps towards him, not relaxing his vigilance because the opponent was seriously injured.

Tsuchiishi struggled to raise his head, his voice tired as he asked, "What's your name?"

Qifeng stopped one step away from him, the bone spear held against the opponent's heart.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "My name is **!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tsuchiishi, who looked like he was about to die, suddenly erupted.

However, his movements were fast, but Qifeng, whose Sharingan was locked on him, reacted even faster. He had long been prepared for the opponent not to give up so easily.

He exerted force with his right hand, and the bone spear pierced into Tsuchiishi's heart.

In an instant, Tsuchiishi's raised hand froze.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Pale white bones pierced out from Tsuchiishi's body, his whole person looking as if a ball of bones had burst from within, stabbing him into a hedgehog.

"Bone Release! Bone Spike Technique!"

This was a usage of the Corpse Bone Pulse that Qifeng had come up with on the spur of the moment.

The Kaguya clan had compatible Taijutsu to cooperate with the Corpse Bone Pulse, such as Willow Dance, Camellia Dance, and so on.

But he only obtained the Corpse Bone Pulse and did not obtain these Taijutsu.

In that instant, he suddenly thought that since the Corpse Bone Pulse was so similar to Wood Release and Sage Body, could he try to learn Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu and combine it with his own bones to unleash similar techniques?

The inspiration for this move came from "Wood Release - Impaling Technique".
