Chapter 257

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the Mist ninja dared not stay longer and immediately fled from the somewhat eerie Zabuza.

Hidden Mist, the central training ground.

The battle between Bee and Yuki Shinichi was still continuing.

As a Jonin of the Yuki clan, because of his bloodline, Yuki Shinichi's strength was slightly higher than other Jonin; although he hadn't earned the title of "Elite Jonin," he was indeed a Jonin with considerable strength.

Under Yuki Shinichi's strict preparation, this time there was no situation of being killed in seconds.

Shinichi cleverly used a water clone to withstand Bee's opening instant kill, which relied on god-like speed, and then directly activated the Yuki clan's signature secret technique—Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!

Yuki Shinichi also thought very clearly; with his strength, wanting to defeat Bee was absolutely extremely difficult.

Since he couldn't win, there was no need to set his goal on an unrealistic victory.

His goal was one word—stall!

As long as he stalled until Doi Masao brought back reinforcements to stop Bee from continuing to provoke, he would be considered to have won.

At this moment, countless demonic mirrors formed by cold ice surrounded Bee in the center; in every ice mirror, there was a figure of Yuki Shinichi, making it impossible for Bee to distinguish which one was the real body and which one was fake.

Regarding this, Bee's approach was also very direct.

Since he couldn't distinguish, he would hit them one by one! He would eventually attack Yuki Shinichi's real body!

He didn't believe that Yuki Shinichi's chakra was infinite!

"BOOM!!! 757"

Manic blue-purple chakra surged wildly on Bee's body; he smashed the ice mirror in front of him with a punch, and the scattered ice fragments flew all over the sky.

Without any pause, Bee continued to attack the nearby ice mirrors.

For a time, countless ice mirrors were smashed into fragments by his iron fists under Bee's rampage.

Although every time Bee smashed an ice mirror, Yuki Shinichi would immediately create a new one to fill it, Bee's speed was truly too astonishing, which also caused the speed at which the ice mirrors were destroyed to be much faster than Yuki Shinichi imagined.

The most fatal thing was that even if Yuki Shinichi abandoned these ice mirrors a step ahead and controlled the ice mirrors to explode and launch a counterattack against Bee, it still had no effect at all.

The lightning armor on Bee's body easily blocked the attack of the shattered ice crystals.

And this also made the chakra on Yuki Shinichi's body somewhat difficult to sustain; he gritted his teeth, knowing that he must form interference against Bee as soon as possible to hinder Bee's progress in destroying the ice mirrors.

Otherwise, if this continued, his chakra would soon be exhausted.

Yuki Shinichi in the dozens of ice mirrors formed seals simultaneously, which made Bee frown.

Bee's intuition told him that he might be in danger under this move of his opponent.

Facing this move, Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, it wasn't that he didn't have a way to break it, but he didn't want to waste too much chakra on a Jonin, so he chose the most time-consuming but most chakra-saving method of breaking them one by one.

Bee's lightning armor was not the Third Raikage's lightning armor after all, and in terms of defensive power, it was still far inferior.

So he clearly felt that if he were hit by this move, there would probably be trouble.

Subsequently, he relaxed his tightly furrowed brows.

"If it's like this, then there's no other way."

Bee said in his heart, while the blue-purple chakra on his body surged again.

Lightning Release: Lariat!

Bee jumped with all his might, leaving a blurred shadow in place, jumping high at a speed invisible to the naked eye, while raising his right foot above his head.

Subsequently, Bee in mid-air chopped down his right foot heavily, and dazzling electric light erupted from his whole body; his burly body suddenly fell madly like a blue meteor.

At the same time, Yuki Shinichi in the ice mirror had also finished forming seals.

Secret Technique: Dead Water Soaring!

This move was already the ninjutsu with the strongest lethality that Yuki Shinichi had mastered so far.

Yuki Shinichi originally only wanted to use this move to stall for time, but he never expected that it would evolve into a collision of ultimate moves.

But since things had come to this, Yuki Shinichi could only choose to go all-in.

Countless water currents appeared in the air, and then under the influence of the cold air, they quickly condensed into ice needles; a massive amount of ice needles changed direction in the air, aiming at the blue meteor falling from the sky.

"WHOOSH!!!"

The next second, a massive amount of ice needles shot toward the blue meteor.

Just facing the torrent formed by the ice needles, the blue meteor was like a train in motion, destroying all the ice needle torrents blocking its path with unstoppable momentum.

"BOOM! (chcc)!!!"

As the meteor landed, a massive amount of terrifying electric current spread along the ground toward the surroundings, and violent shockwaves and dust spread toward the surroundings.

"Who exactly won?"

Such a question appeared in everyone's heart.

But many people with keen eyes had already seen that Yuki Shinichi was far from being Bee's opponent.

Even more so, some were already worried about Yuki Shinichi; under such a terrifying Lightning Release ninjutsu, could he still survive?

The dust settled, and the hard bluestone ground of the training ground had already been smashed into a large pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of three meters.

Bee jumped up, jumped out of the pit lightly, looked around casually, patted the dust off his body, and seemed indifferent to everything.

Not only was Yuki Shinichi's figure long gone from the surroundings, but all the ice mirrors were also destroyed by Bee's move.

Everyone was shocked; could it be that Yuki Shinichi was really killed by Bee in one blow?

"Clack"

The sound of gravel being moved reached Bee's ears, and everyone looked toward the pit behind Bee.

Under a shattered bluestone slab, Yuki Shinichi, who was extremely disheveled, crawled out from underneath and crawled out of the pit in a sorry state.

At the last moment, he used an ice wall to block the aftermath of the Lightning Release: Lariat; Bee's idea was just to use this move to destroy all the ice mirrors and did not lock onto his position.

Otherwise, relying solely on an ice wall, Yuki Shinichi would probably have had a hard time surviving Bee's frontal attack.

Regarding the intensity of the attack, Bee also had a certain estimation in his heart.

After all, it was just a fight of pride; if he caused a death, he wouldn't be able to clean up the mess.

The current situation was already Bee deliberately holding back.

Even so, Yuki Shinichi had already confirmed that his left arm was fractured, and three ribs in his abdomen were broken; such injuries had already caused him to completely lose his combat ability.

Seeing that Yuki Shinichi was not in danger of his life, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

At the same time, everyone also looked at Bee with heavy eyes; the strength displayed by this Cloud ninja had clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary ninjas.

They also knew that Yuki Shinichi didn't lose unjustly.

Yuki Shinichi being able to stall for so long showed that he had already tried his best.

As soon as Yuki Shinichi crawled out of the pit, he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Bee just glanced at the defeated opponent beside him and didn't pay much attention to Yuki Shinichi on the side.

"Next."

Just as Bee intended to continue the provocation, a weak but firm voice interrupted him.

"Cough, cough..."

"What are you saying, you haven't defeated me yet..."

Hearing the sound, Bee turned his head in surprise, only to find that Yuki Shinichi behind him had climbed up again at some point.

Yuki Shinichi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with difficulty, and pulled out a kunai from his waist with his only remaining left hand.
