Chapter Sixteen: The Last Second

  、、、、、、、、、、

  "Hmph! Are you ready? Then I'll go!" Hearing Chu Ni's words, Ueno Kaori couldn't help but snort with laughter. She looked at Chu Ni with a playful gaze, wondering what kind of expression she would have after being defeated by her in just one minute!

  In an instant! The moment Ueno Kō said it, Chū Gesen's figure flashed and quickly darted away to another place, telling Ueno Kō with his actions that he was ready!

  "Haha! You didn't say I couldn't run, you just said you'd catch me in a minute. Let's see how you're going to catch me now!" Chu Ni's laughter echoed loudly in Ueno Sakura's ears as she darted away!

  At the moment she saw Chu Ni, he flashed away and left, and the words she heard by her ear made Ueno Kaori stunned for a while. She really didn't expect that Chu Ni would choose to escape from the beginning. While being surprised at Chu Ni's behavior, she was also surprised at his speed, because Ueno Kaori found out that Chu Ni's speed was almost as fast as that of an injured person! This couldn't help but shock her mind, as she had always thought that Chu Ni was a waste.

  However, Ueno Kaoru was a special Jonin, and after being stunned for a second, she reacted and looked in the direction where Chu Ni had flashed away with a faint smile on her face. She didn't think that Chu Ni would be so cunning and agile, and Chu Ni's speed also surprised her, making her feel curious about Chu Ni in her heart. Then, her figure flashed, and she instantly chased after Chu Ni in the direction he had flashed away!

  "Hmph! You think you're clever, little brat? I'll show you that in front of me, Ueno Kaori, all your cleverness is useless!" As she swiftly chased after Chu Ni, Ueno Kaori couldn't help but smile to herself, still full of confidence about whether or not she could hit Chu Ni within a minute.

  Moment! Moment! Moment!

  Then Ueno Kō's figure, was constantly catching up to Chūgyaku, the time had only one minute, Ueno Kō also didn't dare to be careless, took out her own fastest speed, just ten seconds of time, Ueno Kō had already caught up to Chūgyaku's back!

  "Rely on it! Not so fast!" Feeling the breaking wind sound behind him, Chu Ni's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Ueno Kō's speed to be that fast, his method could only delay him for ten or more seconds!

  "If you keep running, you can't escape the fate of being cut down by me!" After appearing behind Chu Ni, Ueno Kaori smiled wryly and swung the large cleaver in her hand, striking directly at Chu Ni's back!

  Whoa! The wild and massive slash of the knife in Ueno Kō's hand, although the back of the blade was aimed at Chūgyaku, still tore through the air with a loud ripping sound that echoed everywhere!

  He felt a sudden burst of air behind him, and a sharp blade was slashing towards his back. Chu Ni's heart skipped a beat as he quickly dodged forward to avoid the attack from Shang Ye Xiang!

  Boom! In the instant that Chu Ni flashed away, Ueno Kō's great slash struck the position where Chu Ni had originally been. Today, a deafening explosion shook the air, and an entire section of ground was blown out by Ueno Kō's slash, creating a massive crater. Spiderweb-like cracks spread out from it!

  "Awesome!" Seeing the destructive power of Ueno Kōji's great slash from behind, Chū Gyaku's heart skipped a beat. If that sword had been swung at him, it would have been over, almost comparable to Nagi's monstrous strength!

  Whoa! However, just as Chu was shocked by the destructive power of Ueno's attack, a knife shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and quickly slashed towards him!

  "Horror!" was all he could silently exclaim at Ueno Kō's strength, before he even had time to react, the large sword swung towards him. He barely managed to quickly tilt his body back, throwing his head backward!

  Whoa! In an instant, a knife shadow with strong momentum flashed across his face, starting from his wide-open eyes, bringing with it a gust of air that made both cheeks feel slightly painful.

  "Heh heh! Not bad, huh? Come on!" Seeing Chu Ni dodge her two consecutive attacks, Ueno Kaori's eyes flashed with an unusual light, and then she let out a chuckle.

  "Come on! Let's see how long you can last!" Ueno Kaori continued to chuckle lightly, and the large cleaver in her hand, Tsurugi, didn't even see how Ueno Kaori swung it, only seeing the blade slash towards the sky, and then in an instant, it came slashing down at him again!

  Boom! Facing Ueno Kō's attack, Chū Gyaku's body reaction and quality that he had trained for a long time finally got the chance to be displayed. He saw Chū Gyaku's body leaning back without moving, his feet kicked against the ground, and his figure suddenly popped up backwards, narrowly dodging Ueno Kō's slash!

  Boom! A loud roar sounded again, and a huge pit was blasted out of the place where Chu Ni was originally located, forming a long and deep trench!

  "Hah! Not bad! Come again!" Seeing Chu Ni's consecutive dodges, Ueno Kaori's eyes sparkled with excitement, seemingly finding some fun in it. With a chuckle, Chu Ni's figure flashed and reappeared in front of her, the wild greatsword in hand swinging up once more!

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The sound of explosions shook the ground, and the slash of a large sword created a series of echoes. Under Ueno Kaori's relentless attacks, Chu Ni's spirit was more focused than ever before, never so tense and serious. He continuously dodged Ueno Kaori's attacks, and Chu Ni had no doubt that if he showed even a slight opening or slowed down for just an instant, he would be immediately struck by Ueno Kaori! Not a single moment of hesitation was allowed!

  One minute's time, under Ueno Kaori's relentless attacks, Chu Ni's continuous dodges and counterattacks, second by second, flowed away. Normally a short one minute, now in Chu Ni's view every second was so long, as if for each second he had to dodge once from Ueno Kaori's attacks, and still those kinds of attacks that made his heart beat faster and seemed just about to hit him!

  “57……”

  "58……” While dodging Ueno Kō's attack with an unprecedented serious expression, Chūgyaku was thinking in his heart, at the same time flashing back to every second of the past! His eyes were gradually filled with excitement and spirit, just 2 more seconds and he would win!

  "59……” However, just as Chu Ni was counting down 59, in an instant, Chu Ni lost sight of Ueno Saki's figure and couldn't see her anywhere. Ueno Saki's sudden explosion made Chu Ni's heart jump violently, and then without caring where Ueno Saki was, he urged his horse forward with a loud cry, as long as he could avoid Ueno Saki's attack one more time, the moment would arrive!

  "Hah! You won't last a minute!" However, just as Chu Ni was about to make a move forward, the figure of Ueno Kaori appeared once again before his eyes. At the same time, the Wild Slasher in her hand swung upwards towards him under his shocked gaze!
