Chapter 647 Gravity and Repulsion

"Hmph, never mind. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Van Cleef chuckled incomprehensibly behind his mask and tilted his head.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force emerged out of nowhere and acted on Xia Shou. The two sides were like a pair of magnets attracting each other and approached each other at an extremely fast speed!
Both the lightning spear and the wind blade bullet will be absorbed and rebounded by the opponent, turning into power to attack oneself. So without using the mask, there is only one means of attack left.

Xia Shou swung his fist, and his arm swung like a hammer, hitting Van Cleef's neck.

At the same time, a dagger slipped out from Van Cleef's sleeve, and he stabbed it straight into Xia Shou's heart.

Xia Shou observed his and Van Cleef's movements.

In a high-intensity confrontation, it is impossible to calculate the enemy's attack trajectory and speed as accurately as an arithmetician. In a short moment, you have to take into account the acceleration and the extreme angles of joint rotation, and also use vision to estimate the precise distance.

The amount of calculations is too huge. After all the information enters the retina through light, it must be conducted by nerves and the environmental information is sent to the brain through bioelectric signals before calculations can be performed. Therefore, there will inevitably be a delay in the human body's response.

It is impossible for ordinary people to dodge during a high-speed attack by using the ongoing actions, so the masters do not calculate, but rely on intuition and experience!

Experience can predict the opponent's future actions, but intuition cannot be explained; it is a fighting instinct.

But Xia Shou is different. The nerve impulses in his body do not follow the normal conduction logic. The scorpion spine makes every part of his body seem to exist independently, and his exaggerated reaction speed makes him as fast as a dragonfly, and he even has room for calculation!

Xia Shou judged that his fist would hit the opponent first!

"call out!"

A sonic boom exploded between the two of them. Xia Shou tried his best to get out, but one of his ears was cut off.

A piece of the scalp at the left ear was cut off due to the sharp airflow.

So fast!

Xia Shou opened his eyes wide in shock, staring at Van Cleef's empty hand. The dagger that should have been in his hand disappeared the moment he loosened his fingers. If Xia Shou had not observed the other party's movement of loosening his fingers and predicted it based on his intuition, he would have backtracked now.

"You're the only one who can hide?" Van Cleef laughed angrily.

Before he finished speaking, Xia Shou felt a slight pain on his back.

At the moment the stinging pain occurred, Xia Shou directly launched [Flash Kill]!
Everything happened in an instant. Xia Shou had no time to think about the logic of the opponent's attack before he swapped positions with Van Cleef.

Van Cleef changed his position, with the dagger that had just flown out floating in front of his chest.

This dagger returned and completed a silent sneak attack in a blind spot at supersonic speed.

And when the assassination target on the flight trajectory became Van Cleef, the speed of the dagger dropped directly from supersonic speed to zero!
Van Cleef's expression could not be seen because he was wearing a mask. He moved without any pause, as if he had guessed that this would happen. He shook his other hand lightly, and a large amount of red powder spilled out from his sleeve.

The moment the powder dispersed from his sleeves, it was like being blown by a strong wind and flew straight towards Xia Shou.

"boom!"

Before it even touched anything, the powder turned into a blazing fire in the air.

The fire filled Xia Shou's vision. Even before the flames came close, the scorching heat had already caused his hair to curl.

Looking at the wall of fire in front of him, Xia Shou's mouth curled up.

I have already been checked. There is no point in exchanging positions with the other party now.

Even if the positions were swapped, the dagger floating in front of Van Cleef's chest would still exist and would pierce him in an instant.

But if you don't change your position and retreat directly, you won't be able to avoid this high-speed moving wall of fire.

Xia Shou has finished his analysis. Van Cleef's ability is not just gravity, but also repulsion. When the repulsive force acts on a lighter object, it can gain tremendous power, so he can make the dagger gain such an exaggerated speed in an instant.

The same went for the powder. It was not so much the flames approaching, but rather the burning powder being pushed towards him by Van Cleef's repulsive force.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the dodge skill of being hit by a flash were infinitely magnified.

You cannot use other abilities within three seconds of using [Flash Kill on Hit]. Under Van Cleef's torrential attack, there is not even 0.5 seconds to breathe, let alone three seconds.

Xia Shou's clothes turned to ashes in an instant, and his skin quickly cracked and blackened like pig skin baked by a blowtorch. His blood evaporated into blood scabs before it could flow out, solidified in the cracked wound, and the outermost part was directly carbonized.

"Why didn't you use the mirror power just now? Didn't you react? Didn't you wear that special clothes?" Van Cleef turned around and looked at the dark-skinned Xia Shou standing behind him and asked curiously.

Xia Shou coughed violently twice, and hot blood spurted out of his mouth with burning hot steam.

"Not... ordinary fire, but extraordinary material?"

Xia Shou's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

After saying that, Xia Shou's knees went weak and he supported himself on the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling.

Van Cleef said calmly: "I am different from you. I always try my best. As long as I can win, I will use all the tricks, whether it is misleading or extraordinary props.

But you are really able to survive. If an ordinary person was burned like this, he would definitely die. Is this the effect of the scorpion spine?"

Xia Shou remained silent, breathing hard and taking in the thin oxygen.

Every time I inhaled, the air felt like a cold knife stabbing into my trachea, cutting and scraping my way down.

During this process, you can clearly feel some sticky sputum-like liquid slowly sliding down the trachea and esophagus.

The heart in the left side of my chest was beating extremely hard, more vigorously than when it was healthy.

Although the injuries were serious, for some reason, Xia Shou felt in excellent condition!
The pain all over my body seemed to be separated by a barrier and it was very unreal. The pain and normal thinking were like two parts of the brain, completely separated... It was a magical experience.

Now, as long as you put on the mask, you can easily defeat him. After all, this guy's death line is just this level.

But that condescending tone is really annoying. Does he really think he has everything under control?

Just don't look back and put on a mask.

Let this arrogant person see what real power is.

Xia Shou gritted his teeth and used his legs to stand up from the ground. Moist blood was squeezed out from the cracks on his thighs and flowed along the wounds like a river moistening the dry earth.

Van Cleef was stunned for a moment, he found that Xia Shou was actually laughing!
"Thanks for the reminder. I really shouldn't have hidden it... Next, keep your eyes open!"
