The mists began to travel around and trap people within a certain place and then guide them towards Ki.
On the outer parts of the mists several people staggered and fell to the ground as if relieved to escape.
The physiological torture they endured was too much after hearing their comrades screams within the mist.
It was too much for them to handle so as they exited the mists and saw the forest once more their legs weakened as they were a little relieved from escaping.
They knew that they did not have much time to sit around so scrambled to their feet in a hurry and ran at the fastest speed away from the mist.
The further away they got the safer they felt but suddenly as their hearts calmed down and their emotions became excited towards the prospect of living a change took place.
Several people in different directions kept running but suddenly a thin line began to spread on parts of their body as if they had been cut by a thin wire of some kind and because they were running with all their strength the wounds were very deep.
Some that did not manage to stop themselves in time were either beheaded, lost a leg, an arm or more of their body parts.
They quickly began to bleed out heavily and then became brained of all of their strength until they died.
The worst part was that while many died because of the strings some of them still died to them who had retreated towards the direction where they came.
During the distraction when the smoke bombs were thrown out and arrows were fired Ki began to circle around the enemies and where they entered from and wrapped the strings around the trees then continued to close off the exit for them.
Ki had trapped them all within the circle with her threads and if they tried to exit they would be cut by them so they were trapped within with Ki and the corpse puppet.
Left with no retreat the only option they had left was to fight for their lives.
Within the mist the remaining people were guided together to become a group of eight but suddenly a small and tall figure was seen in front of them.
Ki stood with several throwing knives between the finders on one hand and two daggers in one between her inner finger and thumb held at the tip of the blade.
All of a sudden the group approached and the two knives were thrown forward in their direction. [1]
Two of the knives flew while twirling in the air and they both split up from each other as they left Ki's hands.
They hit the two in the front right in the middle of their chest and they fell back disrupting the groups speed of escaping from the poisonous mist.
She took from her other hand two of the daggers held and changed her grip upon them so she held two daggers pressed together in each hand by the tip of the blade.
Her body turned in a circular motion counterclockwise and the daggers flew out of her hand as she sent them forward and as her back faced towards her enemies her body continued its way around.
Her hands threw out the knives as her arms swung out outwards and then stopped her spinning motion.
Two throwing knives were twirling in the air and split up once again then another two followed behind in entered the crowd of remaining people left alive.
As the knives flew across the sky a tall figure ran behind them with their palms facing outwards and their arms stretched out to their sides with their body as low as possible while running.
The corpse puppet entered behind as the daggers landed on the targets and then the hand knives cut through her enemies bodies as it passed through them.
As the corpse puppet entered the middle of them it changed the positioning of its hands.
The palms of the right hand faced forwards while the left faced towards the back and the body began to turn in a counterclockwise motion while slowly raising its body.
As the corpse puppet was spinning in a circle in the middle of them it began to cut their leg then travelled past their waist, chest and then their throat.
Those that did not die because they did not receive a fatal enough wound still became infected but put up a final bit of resistance towards their enemy.
As if expecting this Ki was already close to the group as she had closed the distance between them and stabbed one of them with her sword without them noticing.
The other person who survived raised their weapon as it happened as if to struggle against their death but suddenly a tall figure jumped on top of them and plunged the hand knives into their chest knocking their body to the ground.
Ki and the corpse puppet stood among the mist as it gathered several blood mists together from all of the dead or dying bodies within the surroundings and gathered towards Ki as she sat on the ground.
Ki took a deep breath and then grit her teeth as if she was undergoing unimaginable pain.
Although her body had gained some immunity from her poisonous body tempering recipe there was a limit since there was a big difference between the weaker version she used and the improved version that was not suitable for the human body because of the pain it inflicts.
However unlike others Ki had undergone many types of pain in her previous life and had built up quite the immunity to it so she was able to endure it a little.
The white poison infected blood entered her storage of blood and the poison began to spread from it to her body but it only had an effect of replenishing her poisonous qi she had used up.
The dark green poison infected blood was absorbed through the runic patterns in small amounts at a time.
It began to temper her body at an extremely fast rate so the pain sent all through Ki's body through her blood, internal organs, skin, bones and muscles was incredible high.
She was reaching the limit that she could endure so she stopped absorbing the green mist for a while until it became bearable and then continued again while operating the body tempering part of her Blood Buddha qi art to refine her body past its current limit.
