I rely on myself

Chapter 699: Lotus Flower

When the first plan failed, Xiao Li did not escape Zhizhuo and disappeared from Hongyi's sight again at an astonishing speed. When he reappeared the next moment, he appeared behind Hongyi again and punched him in the head with a heavy punch.

At such a close distance, there was no time to turn around and defend. At the critical moment, Hongyi quickly turned his head to the other side to avoid the heavy punch. At the same time, he stretched out his palm into a claw, trying to catch Xiao Li, but failed. Xiao Li's figure had already disappeared again.

Relying on his full-strength speed after putting down the weight, Xiao Li quickly surrounded Hongyi. He alone achieved the effect of being surrounded by more than a dozen people.

Facing Xiao Li's punches and kicks coming from all directions, Hongyi was directly suppressed. He held on with great difficulty and was not defeated all at once. But to the people around him, it was only a matter of time.

As if to confirm what he said, Hongyi, who had been on the defensive, had just blocked a kick from Xiao Li, but the next moment he was unable to react in time and was surrounded by Xiao Li, who hit him directly in the face with a right straight punch. His head instantly became dizzy and he almost lost consciousness.

This punch completely broke the originally barely balanced battle situation. With this attack, Hongyi's reaction was inevitably affected, making him a step slower. It was this slow step that made Hongyi completely unable to keep up with Xiao Li's movements. The already very barely able defense collapsed instantly at this moment.

"boom!"

"Well----!"

Xiao Li saw the opportunity, rushed under Hongyi, supported himself with his hands, and kicked out with one foot diagonally upwards. This kick directly kicked Hongyi into the air. The huge impact made him unable to recover for a long time, and naturally he could not stop Xiao Li's next move.

"It's now!"

After successfully kicking Hongyi into the air, Xiao Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he also stomped his feet hard and jumped into the air, right behind Hongyi. He spread his hands, and a large amount of bandages flew out instantly and quickly wrapped around Hongyi, completely restraining his body in less than a second, leaving only his head exposed.

With his body bound like this, Hongyi naturally came to his senses immediately. Looking at himself being completely bound by bandages, he asked in surprise, "What is this...?"

"I won't show mercy, so I'm going all out. This is my ultimate move, Biao Lianhua!"

Before Hongyi could finish, Xiao Li's extremely serious voice came from behind him. While speaking, Xiao Li's hands and feet also wrapped around him, grabbing him tightly, leaving no room for error.

As Xiao Li shouted loudly, the direction of their heads and feet instantly switched, and they became upside down in the air, and began to fall rapidly towards the ground under the pull of gravity.

Xiao Li's action was not over yet. During the original falling process, he also added a rotation. The fall, which was already powerful, was even more direct at this moment, like a high-speed cannonball, hitting the ground heavily.

At this moment, the ground was as fragile as tofu, and a big hole was blasted out. A large number of broken rocks were flying everywhere. There were also a large number of cracks on the ground, spreading like a spider web.

A figure jumped out and landed not far from the pit. It was Xiao Li. Just before hitting the ground, he quickly let go of Hongyi and left to avoid being implicated.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

As soon as he landed on the ground, Xiao Li began to gasp for air. It was extremely difficult for him to even stand up. His legs went weak and he knelt on one knee. "What's wrong with you, Xiao Li? Are you injured?"

Sakura looked at Lee and asked worriedly. Although Sakura didn't have any good feelings towards Lee who suddenly confessed to her at the beginning, but in the second round of the exam in the Death Forest, when both Naruto and Sasuke fell into a coma, it was Lee who appeared and saved her from the Otonagakure ninja.

Although it's not to the point of love or liking him, Sakura does have a good impression of him now, so she cares about him when she sees Xiao Li's current state.

Kakashi, who had just returned from helping Sasuke deal with the curse seal on his body, took on the responsibility of a teacher when he heard Sakura's question and explained, "It's because of the side effects. After all, the more powerful the technique, the more risks it will inevitably carry. This should be the case with Lee's current situation."

Coincidentally, Kai on the other side also said something similar, and even concluded: "...Sure enough, for Xiao Li now, cousin Lianhua is still too much of a burden."

"Well, it shouldn't matter. After all, he was hit by this technique. Even if he didn't die, he should have completely lost his ability to fight. Xiao Li won this match."

Tiantian, who was beside Kai, also agreed with this, but at the same time said that it shouldn't matter now. After all, as a teammate, Tiantian was naturally very clear about the power of Biao Lianhua, so he expressed it so confidently.

"No! It's not over yet! The opponent hasn't completely fallen yet!!"

However, at this time, Neji on the side spoke with a serious look on his face, with veins bulging around his eyes. This look showed that he had used all the characteristics of the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, the Byakugan.

With the perspective of his Byakugan, even though the pit was completely covered in smoke, Neji could still see the situation inside clearly, so he suddenly said these words.

As if to confirm what Neji said, Rock Lee, who was closest to the pit, also heard the sound of gravel being moved coming from the pit.

"what?!"

"It was a close call. If I hadn't used this technique at the last minute, I would have lost my ability to fight at best, not to mention the other things. It was really thrilling. I was careless."

A series of words of relief came out of Hongyi's mouth. Although the people watching the battle around could not see the situation inside clearly because the smoke had not completely dissipated, they could still see something through the human figures reflected in the smoke.

Hongyi slowly stood up from the ground. Although his movements were a little slow, they were very smooth. This showed that Hongyi was not seriously injured by Xiao Li's attack, at least it did not affect his movements.

The smoke then completely dissipated, revealing the situation inside.

Hongyi stood in the big pit. He had no injuries on his body, and even his clothes were not damaged much. The most eye-catching thing was the layer of chakra on his body that was glowing blue and slowly wriggling like some kind of liquid, but would not disperse.

"what is that?"
