"Really~ You're just deliberately keeping me in suspense..."
Imai Xiaozhou complained, but still forced a somewhat ugly smile on his scarred face.
And Arisu Sakayanagi just folded his hands and supported them on his cane, with a faint and peaceful smile on his delicate face that looked like he walked out of a fairy tale country, and he bowed slightly like a little wife watching the back of her husband going to the battlefield.
"Then, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
Volume 596: Chapter 3 Directly Starts the Peak Competition Mode (4k)
Om-!
Wu Yi stepped out of the fighting channel. A noise like some large electronic device suddenly shutting down came from above his head. The lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, just like during the first round of the game the day before.
On both sides of the north and south entrances of the stadium, a red and blue flame carpet rendered by lights began to slowly extend forward along the ground.
At the same time, Katara Kanoka's voice, which was deliberately low, exciting and a little bit childish, was also heard.
"They are twins from the same ancient assassination family. They have been endowed with the same physique, the same bloodline, and the same skills over thousands of years of evolution. But now they meet on this fatal arena."
"The fighter representing Yamashita Company - 'Demon' Wu Lei'an! And the fighter representing Wu Yi Trading Company - 'Great Demon' Wu Yi!"
"Who will be the last one standing in the bloody battle between the demon and the great demon? And who will be cruelly plucked of his wings and fall into the endless abyss? Let us wait and see!"
Bang! Crack! Bang!
It was exactly the same process. As the colorful mist in the pipe gushed out under the pressure, the light returned to the stadium, and the two men who were about to start a fierce battle had already arrived at the center of the venue.
No words were needed, just the two pairs of black and white eyes looking at each other, and the tense atmosphere was dissipated invisibly.
"Hey, let me say this first. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Wu Lei'an smiled arrogantly and provoked me as usual before the battle. "I won't show mercy this time. If you don't fight with all your strength, I'll beat you to a pulp."
"It's okay, you should just say that this is my line." Wu Yi replied with the original words.
"How dare you say that..."
"Just telling the truth."
The exchange of harsh words soon came to an end, and the referee, who had arrived earlier, strode forward to stand between the two men, with one hand raised high.
"That's enough of the pleasantries. Both parties should take their positions and get ready—"
The tactic pauses for one second.
"start!!!"
The moment the knife was swung down, the referee, sensing that this match would be far more intense than any previous one, quickly stepped back.
But it was still a step too slow.
A figure that reached a speed of over 50 kilometers per hour came roaring with powerful kinetic energy. It just brushed the referee's fingertips and knocked the referee's entire arm to the side, almost causing the referee to fall down with his entire body.
But the referee is a referee after all. Although he is extremely fragile in front of these monsters who came to the knockout round to fight like gods, he at least still has some physical fitness.
He quickly took a step forward to steady his body. At the same time, a horrifying sound of flesh collision, almost like an explosion, came violently from behind him.
Less than a second after the start of the match, Wu Yi had already swung his fist in front of Wu Lei'an, and the speed he displayed was almost as fast as the lightning flash used by Lei Xinliu's Yu Lei Ling in the round of 16.
The only difference is that his fist is much harder and more powerful than Yu Lei Ling's!
[Wu's Skill·Vajra Form·Iron Crushing]!
(Because this book won't include Omega's plot, which means it won't delve into the content of Worm, and I deleted Wang Ma, so I just copied Erhu Liu and used it. I don't have to think of names and moves, yeah... Of course, the main reason is that I think the Wu clan should also have moves similar to Erhu Liu.)
The iron fist, combined with the inertia of the charge and the full strength of the waist and back muscles, slammed directly into Wu Lei'an's face with unparalleled force. The momentum brought by the fist was like a blast from a mountain. Even an extremely hard rock would be shattered into pieces by this punch.
The punch was so fast that even Wu Lei'an couldn't react in time. He was hit head-on on the head and blood spurted out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. His head kept tilting back uncontrollably.
Without any hesitation, Wu Yi continued to swing his fists at high speed.
He kept throwing combos at the same frequency as Master Ye's sun-shaped punches in the movie. Each punch took a completely different route from the previous one, with no pattern to follow. It was like a bolt of lightning in a midsummer night, followed by a torrential rain, pouring all the attacks on Wu Lei'an, forcing the latter to retreat step by step.
"Senpai is so strong!"
Amasawa Ichika, who was watching this scene in the audience, exclaimed loudly.
"It's very strong."
Ibuki Mio, who always liked to purse her lips and remain silent, also spoke at this time.
"Well... not only is it strong, judging by the power of the first punch, if it had hit a normal person, that person would have been dead. The subsequent attacks were also very powerful, and the trajectory of each punch was different, making it almost impossible to effectively block. If it continues like this, the match will be won if nothing unexpected happens."
"Come on, senior~!"
Tianze Yixia jumped up from his seat with shining eyes, waving his hands and cheering.
The other girls also showed hope on their faces, but Garuda alone remained calm.
No, it won’t be that simple… the girl thought.
Snapped!
During the violent attack, two bony hands grabbed Wu Yi's wrists, one on the left and one on the right, as he kept swinging his fists.
It was Wu Lei'an. He could actually still see the movements clearly in such a confusing boxing pattern, and stopped it abruptly in this way. The wild smile on the corner of his mouth that was bleeding did not diminish at all.
"Hey, I think I told you before that although Shuiyan's attacks are irregular, no matter how irregular the attacks are, there are still some rules to follow because of different preferences of each person. You must have forgotten it, right? You have suffered a lot in this matter and lost to me."
"of course not."
After a pause, Wu Yi also smiled. The expected confidence made the demon feel uneasy for a moment.
"But how do you know that I didn't let you grab my wrist on purpose?"
Before he finished his words, a terrifying force came from Wu Yi's grabbed wrist.
Liberation suddenly began at this moment. Relying on the explosive strength that emerged after the restrictions on his body were removed, he pressed his arms downward with all his strength, forcibly breaking through Wu Lei'an's normal grip, and in turn grabbed the opponent's arms, and pulled them downwards violently.
Wu Lei'an, who was caught off guard and forced to bend over, suddenly felt his pupils shrink. He felt something was coming.
It's a knee strike!
The knee strike came forward with the force of the instant release, hitting Wu Lei'an directly in the face without any escape.
The inertia generated when he was pressed down and bent over collided with the force of the knee strike. After the second explosion of the game, Wu Lei'an's head tilted back and the dark red blood from his nose formed a flowing arc in the air.
"One more shot..."
Amid the whistling wind in his ears, Wu Lei'an heard Wu Yi's voice coming from the front.
He reacted immediately and made adjustments. He stabilized his body and leaned back with all his strength. At the same time, he began to move his feet forward, preparing to give the opponent a good headbutt when he rebounded.
However, there was a small unexpected development compared to the expected one. Just when Wu Lei'an was about to launch a headbutt, Wu Yi actually let go.
...let go?
Um! ?
It was not until this time that Wu Lei'an finally realized what was going to happen next, but it was too late to change his strategy.
Wu Yi flashed behind Wu Lei'an in an instant, grabbed the latter's neck with both hands, and turned him over with his back facing the ground with his face down in a posture similar to the over-the-shoulder throw in ancient judo.
[Skills of Wu, the style of Cao Liu, Liu]!
Although it was not the same time, it was the same place and even the posture was the same.
As if the scene was being replicated, Wu Lei'an was once again stuck into the ground with his feet up in the air, just like when he was fighting against the sister-con priest in the first round.
The next moment, the fierce leg wind came again.
boom!
There was a third loud bang, and a football was kicked solidly into the neck of the fallen Wu Lei'an. The force was so great that it not only freed him from the state of his head being stuck in the ground, but also sent him flying five meters away before falling back to the ground.
"Pretty!"
Guan Linchun cheered loudly in the audience.
His words also reflected the thoughts of other fighters who were watching the match.
The speed, power and accuracy all reached the perfect level, and all the attacks hit the vital points without exception. Normally, if you take such a set, the referee would basically blow the whistle to decide the winner.
However, after completing a full set of combos, Wu Yi did not immediately chase after him to finish off the enemy, but instead stood on guard, as if waiting for something.
"call……"
A faint exhalation sound was heard close to the ground. In front of the audience's jaw-dropping gaze, Wu Lei'an, who had been lying on the ground as if he had died a second ago, climbed up from the ground with his hands on the ground and moved his body freely.
"Hmm? That's really strange. He took such a fierce attack head-on. No matter how tough a fighter is, it's impossible for him to be unscathed, right?"
Still in the box on the top floor of the stadium, a brown-skinned young man wearing a Thai royal gown, with a gorgeous face and lazy temperament, giving people a sense of Gilgamesh's Southeast Asian division, changed his previous look of sitting up straight with his legs crossed, looking quite surprised, and leaned forward slightly and said.
There was no need to even look at it. Even ordinary people who knew nothing about fighting would feel that Wu Yi's combo just now had an extremely high damage value, and any one of his moves was as powerful as a killer move.
But Wu Lei'an's performance at this moment also proved to everyone that his health bar was not shaken at all.
"Well~"
Katara Metō on the side laughed cheerfully.
"No wonder His Highness Lalma thinks so. Normally, it is true. But please recall the situation in the first round. Do you remember how Raian won the game with almost no injury after completely withstanding the fierce attack from the powerful British fighter Mogi Robinson?"
"Ah, that seems to be the case..."
"That is the power of the Wu clan's 'bloodline'. After thousands of years of endless battles and breeding, they have continuously selected the best from the best, and finally created a 'physique that is completely specialized for combat'."
"I see. So, if that's the case, Wu Lei'an's opponent is also..." Larma XIII looked thoughtful.
"That's right, Wu Lei'an, Wu Yi, they are all the same."
Speaking of this, Katara Metō laughed even more happily.
"Look, the real show is just beginning."
Tick.
A drop of dark red blood was spilled on the ground of the stadium.
Wu Lei'an wiped the blood flowing from his nostrils, and the corners of his mouth raised again on his face, which seemed only slightly dirty at first glance.
"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is going on? Didn't you say you were going to use all your strength? But apart from that knee strike, you didn't even feel anything when you hit me with the rest. Or is this all you have left?"
"How dare you say that to me..."
Wu Yi also started to complain.
"I was just about to ask you, you said you were going to give it your all, but you didn't block at all from the start of the match. You thought you were living in the first round. I'm embarrassed to hit you."
"Ah? Oh wow, so that's how it is."
He pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then Wu Lei'an laughed maliciously.
"Well, I wanted to confirm whether you really gave it your all, but since you said so, forget it... So from now on, you really have to give it your all, okay?"
"agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fighting posture changed slightly.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Volume 597: Chapter : The Battle of Two Demons
The moment Wu Yi disappeared, Wu Lei'an's figure also disappeared.
No, to be precise, they did not disappear, but their speed increased to the extreme in an instant, so that ordinary people could not catch them with their naked eyes. Therefore, it looked like they disappeared from the spot like a wisp of green smoke.
The next moment, the two figures reappeared, with their fingers intertwined and foreheads pressed together.
This certainly couldn't be a close hug between brothers of the same species, but rather... the most primitive struggle between animals that can almost be traced back to the Jurassic era!
The moment their palms touched each other, the powerful force even caused an explosion sound in a small area after the air was compressed to the extreme.
"Oh, you said you would go all out? I don't believe this is your full strength. Where's your release? Use it quickly. Are you so stingy with your energy?"
Wu Lei'an continued to mock without mercy.
Both sides were head to head, and at this distance, no matter which side's expression changed, it would be extremely obvious in the eyes of the other.
Having said that, his own condition was not much better. His whole body was shaking slightly as he exerted all his strength. In order to maintain this normal highest-level output, he spoke through gritted teeth.
Wu Yi was naturally the same. If possible, in order to avoid being criticized, he didn't even want to say anything and just smiled.
"Wouldn't that make me look like I'm too good at playing? Even the cheaters in the game would say 'you started it' before they start cheating for the sake of their own face. Besides, of course I have to use my energy sparingly. My goal is to win the championship, not just to beat you here."
"Huh? Winning the championship? You?"
Wu Lei'an grinned grimly and opened his mouth as if to say something else, but then he suddenly closed his mouth with gritted teeth.
Then--
