Chapter 64: Beheading

Thinking is doing, Seimei pretended to look around at the surrounding bee swarm, then shook his head slightly and said, "This is the Kamizuru clan's insect control technique?" His tone, coupled with his actions, fully expressed his disdain. Although Akabane guessed that Seimei might be deliberately provoking him, when he heard Seimei's words, he still couldn't help but feel angry and was about to say something. But before he could speak, Seimei continued to stimulate him: "With this level of skill, you were also equally famous as the Aburame clan, huh~" Akabane, who was already quite angry, now heard the name "Aburame clan" and the contemptuous "huh" from Seimei, and he could no longer control his emotions. Immediately, he roared, "Uchiha boy, what do you know? If it weren't for the Aburame clan's tricks in the last Ninja World War, how could our Kamizuru clan have failed?" "Tricks? Huh~" Chuckling twice, Seimei shook his head and said, "If you're not as skilled as others, then you're not as skilled as others. What do you mean by tricks? Is this the only ambition of your Kamizuru clan?" "Good! Good! Good!" Akabane was so angry that he said the word "good" three times in a row. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uchiha boy, you successfully angered me. I hope your mouth can still be so tough when I catch you later." After saying that, he was about to control the bee swarm to launch an attack. But at this moment, a pair of blood-red single-tomoe Sharingan appeared in his vision, occupying his mind and making his consciousness gradually sink. 'Sharingan? Not good!' Thanks to the mental power he had cultivated from controlling the bee swarm for many years, Akabane was not hypnotized by Seimei in the first place. At the moment before falling asleep, he bit his tongue hard. Scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the severe pain woke him up. However, the moment he regained consciousness, he was greeted by Seimei's sword slashing out with all his might. Slash~ The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out. Blood splattered everywhere, Akabane let out a scream, and his body involuntarily flew backward. A deep wound that exposed the bone appeared on his chest, extending from his right shoulder to his left waist, almost cutting him in half. If he hadn't taken half a step back at the last moment, Seimei's sword would have been enough to kill him. Even so, he was seriously injured. However, Seimei was not satisfied. His goal was to kill with one strike. For this, he even opened the Sharingan. If he couldn't achieve his goal, there would definitely be a lot of trouble later. With this in mind, Seimei didn't stay any longer. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to get closer and was about to finish him off. But Akabane was a special Jonin after all. Although his own combat power was not strong, his combat experience was solid. At this time, seeing that Seimei was relentless, he didn't care about the injury on his chest anymore. He endured the pain, controlled the bee swarm to attack Seimei, trying to intercept him, while letting the Queen Bee drag him back. However, Seimei, who had opened the Sharingan, had greatly improved reaction speed. The movements of these bees were no different from turtles crawling in his eyes. Therefore, just by simply using the 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu', no bee could get close to him, and all long-range attacks were dodged by him one by one. His movements were simple and efficient, closing the distance between them every second. If it were his peak period, Akabane might still be able to control the bee swarm to stop Seimei and escape from the scene himself. But Seimei's sword just now had injured him too badly, and he couldn't hold on for too long. If he delayed any longer, he would definitely be the one to die in the end. Thinking of this, Akabane's face looked very ugly. Feeling his body gradually becoming weak due to excessive blood loss, Akabane no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and used the Kamizuru clan's last secret technique - the Insect Fusion Technique. The next moment, a sharp strange cry came from the Queen Bee beside him. Seimei looked towards the sound and saw that the Queen Bee suddenly spewed out a large mouthful of honey, wrapping Akabane's entire body in it. Seimei was vigilant and was about to see what tricks Akabane was playing when he saw the Queen Bee swallow Akabane in one gulp. 'What's going on?' Seimei was puzzled, but it didn't stop him from launching an attack. Breaking through the obstruction of the bee swarm, Seimei swung his sword and slashed at the Queen Bee's abdomen. Clang~ A crisp sound of metal clashing came. Seimei's sword was like slashing on hard metal. Not only did it fail to hurt the Queen Bee at all, but it also made his arm numb from the shock. Seeing this, a strange color flashed in Seimei's eyes. He really didn't expect the Queen Bee's body to be so hard. You know, before making the move, he had considered this point, so he specifically chose the Queen Bee's seemingly softest abdomen to attack. Unexpectedly, even this place was so hard. He couldn't imagine how hard other parts of its body were. A sharp roar came, and the Queen Bee, sensing that it was being attacked, immediately waved its forelimbs and stabbed at Seimei. Looking at the cold light on them, Seimei didn't dare to take it head-on. He dodged the Queen Bee's attack and came behind it. Then, he flipped his palm, took out an explosive tag from his ninja tool bag, and stuck it on the Queen Bee's back before moving away from it. The Queen Bee seemed to sense the danger and frantically attacked Seimei. But in the Sharingan's view, these attacks were not threatening. Seimei dodged them with a few flashes. The next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and a crimson flame suddenly erupted from the Queen Bee's back, instantly engulfing it. Then, Seimei heard a shrill roar. Confirming that the explosive tag was effective against the Queen Bee, Seimei no longer hesitated. While the Queen Bee was charging around, he threw out several shurikens with explosive tags attached. The shurikens accurately hit the Queen Bee, and the explosive tags exploded. Several more fireballs rose, and the Queen Bee finally couldn't withstand it and slowly fell to the ground. Seimei was still not at ease. He raised his hand and formed the six seals of 'Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin', and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. Although this technique was not as flexible as the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', its power was undeniably strong, especially in single-point attacks. Moreover, this time Seimei didn't save chakra either. He used 200 points in one go, so the fireball released was very huge. When it hit the Queen Bee, the momentum was much greater than the explosive tags. A few breaths later, the flames extinguished, and Seimei looked up. He saw that the Queen Bee had stopped struggling, its whole body was charred black, and there was no sign of life. Seimei was about to take a breath when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the surrounding bee swarm sharply, and they still maintained their encirclement posture without any disorder. This was very unreasonable. Akabane and the Queen Bee were both dead. Without a leader, how could they still maintain such discipline? Wait! Akabane? 'Is this person really dead?' With this thought in mind, Seimei suddenly looked at the Queen Bee's abdomen. There, several cracks were appearing, as if something was about to drill out. (End of this chapter)
