He didn't just blindly crash into the Water Formation Wall, but swung his hand-blade toward the wall in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The action of force is mutual; with Bee’s terrifying acceleration, if he were to crash into the Water Formation Wall head-on, it would be no different from hitting a hard steel plate with his bare body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even with the defense of the Lightning Armor, Bee himself would suffer from serious recoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only that, because water itself has conductive properties, although Water Style is restrained by Lightning Style, the conductive property could weaken the lightning on Bee’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Bee had to deal with the Water Formation Wall Zabuza used for defense first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sizzle, sizzle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the blessing of the Lightning Oppression Horizontal Thousand Generations Dance, Bee’s hand-blade actually broke through the Water Formation Wall in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After breaking the Water Formation Wall, Zabuza’s figure was revealed before Bee’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In an instant, the two locked eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bee’s eyes held only calmness and resolve, while Zabuza’s eyes were full of surprise and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Both were in a stage where their old strength had faded and new strength had not yet been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At such a close distance, Zabuza had no time to form hand seals to release other ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And at this moment, Bee’s advantage was reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many of the Cloud’s unique ninja-body techniques do not require hand seals, and with the blessing of the Lightning Armor on Bee’s body, the current situation was naturally dominated by Bee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the Water Formation Wall blocked Bee’s ultimate move—the Lightning Oppression Horizontal Thousand Generations Dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a short time, even Bee could not continue to launch an attack of the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lightning Style: Heavy Flow Storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Bee had to settle for the next best thing and release the Heavy Flow Storm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bee’s elbow strike, carrying an electric charge, smashed mercilessly into Zabuza’s body.

Just one hit!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It almost killed him!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zabuza could be certain that if Bee’s punch just now had successfully landed on him, he would have definitely been out of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This man is simply too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zabuza stared at Bee in the mist, thinking of countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the form of this battle had completely reversed, from Zabuza’s initial dominance to Bee being in an invincible position.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason was also very direct: Bee had already seen through the mystery of Zabuza’s \"Silent Killing Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as Zabuza launched an attack, Bee could dodge it at any time with his superhuman speed and perform a counter-restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In other words, Bee had successfully turned from passive to active, achieving \"controlling movement with stillness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zabuza asked himself in his heart, thinking of a way to break the situation.
