I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 287 The mantis stalks the cicada?

"Prepare--"

"start!"

After hearing the referee's voice, Lin Xi was the first to take action. Sensing the threat, how could he underestimate his opponent? He rushed forward directly, and reached the side of his opponent in an invisible way to the naked eye.

【So fast! 】

Before Foxy's thoughts could finish, a terrifying force came with a strong wind. Fortunately, she was prepared. She raised her arm and held the rapier upright to block the attack. The dark red rapier glowed slightly.

[The Tree of Beginning → Seventh Star]

"Peng!"

Lin Xi punched but did not cause any damage. The dull sound of the impact gave him the feeling that the force was like a drop in the ocean. The plain dark red sword absorbed all the impact.

"Swish~" The Seven-fold Star, which was used as a defensive counterattack technique, slashed over diagonally. The seemingly ordinary sword tip gave him an extremely sharp feeling. He dodged again, and the stabbing sword only left the sound of piercing the air in the air.

Foxy did not continue to prepare for a normal attack. The brief fight just now meant that it was impossible for her to fight an opponent she could not see. No matter how sharp the sword she held was, she had no chance of withstanding every attack. The most important thing was to release the power of the rapier while she still had enough energy.

She jumped high, and the rapier held in both hands emitted a grayish-white light. The earth's magnetic field dyed the grayish-white square, turning into waves that pressed towards the opponent from all directions.

[MAX·Super Kill·Prayer of Planet]

This is--

Lin Xi immediately recognized that it was the violent Earth's magnetic field. He was very familiar with this thing. He had to deal with the Earth's magnetic field almost every minute and every second. However, in the past, he faced the Earth's magnetic field which was as soft as the ocean. Now it suddenly became violent, showing an extremely strong deterrent power.

Of course, this does not threaten him.

He stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm. A strong magnetic field emerged in his hand. Squeezed by the magnetic field in his body, magnetic forces spread out and formed dense black lines in the space, regularly covering dozens of meters around him.

make a fist.

The black magnetic lines suddenly contracted, and everything was cut in the contraction, even the wave-like earth's magnetic field was chopped into pieces.

[MAX·Super Kill·Black Tide Arrives (Magnetic Storm)]

Only Foxy, who was holding the dark red rapier, survived. She swung the rapier and cut off several of the magnetic black lines as they shrank. The rapier, infused with a huge amount of energy, created countless afterimages and successfully protected herself, but her strength was also greatly consumed. Her face turned pale and her breathing became rapid.

Lin Xi threw the small black ball in his hand very lightly. The black ball looked very small, only as big as a marble, and there was no strong aura or scary feeling on its appearance. Its speed was not fast compared to his movement speed.

[MAX·Super Special Move·Black Tide Advent (Magnetic Storm) added → Final Darkness]

Foxy originally wanted to rely on her rapier to block it, but the fighter's soul forged through many hard battles was frantically warning her that death was at hand. The pores around her body dissolved, and the sudden release of energy directly brought her to an unprecedented peak stage. In order to escape the lock of the small black ball that was not far away, she flashed without hesitation.

[Super Special Move: White Bird's Poem: Forward Charge → Terminate]

She used her own super-kill front-end instant body movement to escape in milliseconds.

Silently, a small black ball bloomed in the air more than one meter in diameter, directly engulfing the spherical space with a diameter of ten meters, and the ground was cut into an extremely smooth spherical surface.

Foxy stood far away with lingering fear. If she still tried to defend herself with the idea that Rapier was invincible, the only end she would be swallowed up by the silent darkness. Rapier might be fine, but she was not made of iron and would definitely not survive.

"interesting."

Lin Xi looked at the rapier with burning eyes, this sword was so magical, not only could it control the earth's magnetic field, it could even cut magnetic force. It could even withstand the MAX super-kill that he developed specifically for Orochi. The person holding the rapier was not even one-fifth as strong as him, but he could still rely on the rapier to fight with him.

Simply exaggerated.

You know, when he was developing the Black Tide, his goal was to confront Orochi's full-screen super-killing move head-on. Now he can't even take down a little Foxy, which is really unsatisfactory.

And... Foxy still has a hidden super-killing bee that she hasn't used. Since that sword can control the earth's magnetic field, and even the Prayer of the Planet is the control of the earth's magnetic field, the bees that can die together with humans are most likely also the application of the earth's magnetic field.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that he felt threatened. Even if the power of the Earth's magnetic field was only one percent, it would be easy to drown him alive with its mass.

[It seems that we can’t risk getting closer.]

Lin Xi thought so, and he has begun to fear his opponent's super ultimate move that can make him live as long as heaven and earth. Anyway, it seems that Foxy's physical strength has been almost depleted, and her pores have been released. As long as he can delay the release of her pores, what can the opponent do?

Even if the pores are released, it only means that the Qi increases, but the physical strength remains the same. Qi alone is useless, and fighting is not about who has more Qi.

If you cannot hold on and your opponent shows signs of wanting to die together with you, you should strike first and use all your strength to kill him.

He didn't think it was shameful for him to do so. Fighting required all kinds of means to be used, and he could accept any means no matter how despicable they were.

Foxy's chest kept rising and falling, and the arm holding the rapier hung down. Her breathing was more intense than ever, but she looked extremely embarrassed. Sweat stuck to her temples, and her eyes were full of fatigue.

If even the full strength of the Planetary Prayer cannot hurt the opponent at all, then this is the only last resort.

bee.

The reason for this name is that after a bee stings a person, the barbed stinger will pull out the internal organs connected to the venom glands, causing the person to lose the ability to move within a short period of time, and only linger for a while before dying completely.

The principle of the bee is very simple, that is, to infuse qi with all her strength, hold the rapier, and drive the earth's magnetic field to form a wave of poisonous needles with itself as the sharpest to attack the opponent. No matter whether the opponent can take it or not, or whether she dies or not, she will inevitably be killed by the uncontrollable huge earth's magnetic field.

There is no coming back, and once it is used it means one's death, so no one has ever used this trick since the birth of bees.

However, according to the calculations of the supercomputer in the headquarters fortress of the sound nest, the instantaneous explosive power of the bee is several times greater than that of the Zero Cannon, which is a very terrifying forbidden move.

The above order places Foxy, armed with the rapier [Stinger], in charge of the preliminary operations of the capture operation. The meaning is self-evident.

She bit her lip gently. She was only 22 years old. No matter how important her ideals were, how could she be so calm when faced with the fate of sacrificing herself? The old leader's magnetic and majestic voice seemed to ring in her ears again:
【All for Yinnest】

Foxy put aside her petty emotions and once again grasped the hilt of the Stinger with both hands.

"Everything for the Nest."

Angel, who was far away, saw this scene, curled her lips and quietly retreated away. She was abducted to the base for inhuman transformation before she could understand anything. She had a secret that even the researchers responsible for adjusting her body did not know, that is, the brainwashing method did not work on her for some reason.

Without this King of Fighters tournament, she would still be lying in the organization's base, her body continuing to undergo transformation experiments, and her brain constantly simulating combat data in the submerged equipment.

Because she was too young and had undergone cruel experiments and brainwashing from time to time, Foxy did not hide much from her. After knowing that the rapier was the organization's most advanced technological product and that it had an extremely terrifying super-kill ability, she had been waiting for this day.

No matter who wins or loses, she will have the opportunity to escape and live a free life.

[Should we take that idiot X with us…]

"Whoosh~" The wind suddenly blew in the quiet square, and the already turbulent earth's magnetic field began to fluctuate violently.

"Crack~Pah~Pah~Pah" all the electronic devices nearby exploded wildly.

The large screens that had been set up exploded in a chain, emitting clusters of sparks.

[Trouble——]

Lin Xi could sense that the earth's magnetic field was beginning to change, and he sprinted forward with all his strength. The excessive force was beyond his control, and the little force that leaked out caused the entire ground of St. Mark's Square to tremble.

His feet were running in the air, all the magnetic force was trying hard to accelerate and accumulate power. His body served as a carrier, and the blood that oozed out of it during the squeezing was quickly vaporized by the high temperature generated by the high speed. The color of his skin gradually turned into a fiery red, and his hair swayed, emitting sparks.

In this state, he should have killed his opponent in less than a millisecond, but unfortunately...

"Squeak~Crack" His body was frozen in the gradually graying world as he moved, and the violent friction produced a harsh sound.

The audience at the scene had already fallen into a painful coma under the influence of the earth's magnetic field. Even the security guards who had undergone stomata reconstruction surgery and became fighters were still unable to resist and fell to the ground, losing all ability to move.

The slightly stronger fighters all felt the fear of life and death and fled without hesitation.

Around Piazza San Marco, the bustling market surrounding the King of Fighters tournament had been cleared out. Teams of soldiers wearing combat uniforms without any markings and looking exactly like Ken surrounded the entire square.

The leading Clone Zero was standing on the rooftop of a three-story building, looking at the man who was frozen in mid-air by the earth's magnetic field, like a struggling insect caught in a spider web. He showed a bit of disdain on his face: "Lin Xi, I admit that you are powerful, but——"

"You picked the wrong opponent."

Ken, who was standing behind him, had a blank expression on his face. He was wearing a combat uniform similar to his, and the black and red collar around his neck was engraved with Mesdy's name.

[No, there is no way to attack the opponent before the bees are fully launched. The huge solidified earth magnetic field is difficult to break through. Then, I can only have a chance to fight back when I attack. My intuition tells me that it is a threat, not a warning of death, which proves that I have a chance...]

[But...will Yinchao let go of this opportunity so easily? ]

Lin Xi moved forward inch by inch. Under the high pressure, his mind became unusually clear, his fighting spirit soared rapidly, and the energy tank in his head began to roll.

Foxy held up the bee stinger. In the gray and white world, she seemed to have pierced the sky. All the clouds in the sky had just been dispersed. The sun was extremely dazzling. The pierced gray and white world let a beam of sunlight cast on her, who was dressed neatly and had a solemn expression. At this moment, she looked like a Valkyrie in Norse mythology.
Sacred and solemn.

The next second, the slow world started moving again. Foxy was pushed by the earth's magnetic field and shot out like a bullet. Lin Xi also resumed movement, and the two figures collided with each other.

Light, turn on.

Bricks on the ground flew up, shattered, and disappeared. In the blazing, pure white light, a black crack that rose to the sky spread out.

"Ka~ka~ka"

The entire Piazza San Marco has disappeared, a huge, bottomless, irregular pit has appeared on the ground, the ozone layer in the sky has been destroyed, and excessive ultraviolet rays are scattered everywhere.

Then, the air in the hole in the ground began to burn, as if something was surging upwards, and the hot air raised the temperature nearby to a level that ordinary humans could not withstand.

"Puff~" Magma from somewhere deep underground spurted out high into the air.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~" The sound of magma flowing on the ground melting something was heard, and water vapor quickly filled the air.

The naked Lin Xi floated in the air, with his head and arms hanging naturally. There was a big hole in his chest. Amid the flashing electric arcs, flesh and blood spread and gathered to fill the hole. The scar caused by the earth's magnetic field had not healed completely, leaving a vertical scar in the middle, which looked like a closed eye.

"That's really cool, hehehe..."

He pressed his chest, looked up and smiled. Although he seemed to have recovered on the outside, he was still a mess on the inside. The magnetic field in his body was directly pierced by the sword. However, the power he created also tore apart the space and something inexplicable in the collision with the earth's magnetic field. The cracks formed directly swallowed up everything in front of him.

The pressure from the earth's magnetic field and Foxy holding the rapier all disappeared in the black cracks.

"Foxie... probably isn't dead yet, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Lin Xi could still vaguely sense the rapier. As the forces converged, his magnetic field was permeated into it, but there were many layers of things between them and he could not sense it clearly. His own strength was not enough to reach the other side, and the opponent should not be able to come back. There was no need to worry about it.

The city of Venice, with St. Mark's Square as its center, has become a hell on earth. The magma flowing on the ground has refined the buildings one by one. There are no struggling and crying humans, because in the magnetic field collision just now, the magnetic field of ordinary humans could not withstand the pressure at all, and they had already fallen into an unconscious coma.

At this moment, they were falling into the lava river one by one, like ice cubes falling into an oil pan, quickly melting, and splashing out beams of lava.

More than a hundred powerful auras were climbing to the heights, locking onto Lin Xi tightly. He lowered his head and looked down, as if he was a god hanging high on the throne of heaven, staring at Clone Zero standing on the rooftop from afar.

"So--"

"Next game, let's start."
