I summoned the Fourth Scourge in Warhammer

Why is short-distance instantaneous teleportation not considered a form of light-body skill? (Chapter 123)
The chainsaw in his hand wasn't activated, but its heavy weight and serrated blade made it a terrifying blunt weapon. He wielded it like deadly silver whirlwinds, sometimes transforming it into a heavy warhammer to smash into Xiao Cai's arm, and sometimes sweeping it like a long staff to aim for his bare calves.

"Well done!"

Xiao Cai roared, drawing upon all the combat experience he had accumulated throughout his gaming career. He planted his feet firmly on the ground, advancing instead of retreating, charging headlong into the deadly storm of steel.

Facing Rivers' powerful downward strike, Xiao Cai neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he stomped forward with his left foot and brought his right fist down like a burning meteor to meet the massive sword.

The crimson dragon flames collided with the heavy metal blade, erupting in a deafening clang and dazzling sparks. Rivers felt a scorching and violent force surge from the sword, numbing his arm. He immediately changed his move, flicking his wrist, lowering the sword's momentum, transforming the slash into a sweep, and smashing horizontally towards Xiao Cai's right arm.

Xiao Cai's reaction was equally swift. After landing a successful blow, he didn't pause. Using the recoil, he lowered his body to dodge the sweeping attack, while his right leg, like a whip, kicked towards Rivers' supporting leg's knee with a whistling sound and blazing dragon flames.

The rapid-fire exchanges of attack and defense left the spectators dazzled. The players of the Death Legion erupted in cheers, while the Space Wolves growled nervously in support of their comrades.

Rivers, a veteran of countless battles, had his fighting instincts ingrained in his very bones. The instant Xiao Cai's sweeping leg struck, he didn't retreat but instead advanced, his left leg suddenly thrusting forward, propelling him into the air. He not only dodged the sweeping attack but also adjusted his posture mid-air, gripping the hilt of his chainsaw sword with both hands, using the blade like a shield to slam it down fiercely towards Xiao Cai below!
A huge shadow loomed over Xiaocai, the heavy blade whistling through the air.

However, Xiao Cai showed no fear whatsoever. He crossed his arms above his head, forcefully blocking the crushing blow!
"Boom--!"

The terrifying impact cracked the ground beneath Xiao Cai's feet, and he was shrunk by half. But he managed to block it.

"It's not over yet!" Xiao Cai gritted his teeth, and while enduring the attack, he pushed off with his feet, propelling himself forward like a spring, and slammed his head into Rivers' head!

This unexpected attack caused even the battle-hardened Rivers to stagger, his blood surging from the brutal style of fighting.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Xiao Cai launched a fierce offensive. He closed in, abandoning long-range control and drawing the battle into the close-quarters combat he excelled at.

He executed a series of rapid, almost blurry, combinations of punches and kicks with fluid grace. His fists were enveloped in dragon flames, each strike precisely aimed at Rivers' joints, producing a series of muffled "bangs."

Suddenly, the situation on the field reversed. The experienced Space Wolf veteran was being beaten back by a new recruit's unprecedented and ferocious punching technique, and could only barely defend himself.

"My God! [Cai Hai Ai Wan] is suppressing his opponent! I have never seen such exquisite fighting skills!" Cohen's commentary rang out at the right time, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

However, Xiao Cai, who was in the middle of the battle, felt no relief whatsoever.

He knew very well that his advantage was only temporary. This kind of high-intensity burst output consumed a huge amount of stamina and dragon flames.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Rivers, is calmly waiting for his opportunity.

After being forced back by Cai's combination punches once again, Rivers' back was pressed against a thick metal pillar, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

"Now's the time!" Xiao Cai's heart leaped with joy; he saw a golden opportunity to "suppress the enemy at the edge of the screen." He took a deep breath, preparing to finish the fight with his most powerful move. He pulled his right fist back, and crimson dragon flames gathered wildly, making his entire arm seem like a burning hot iron!

However, the moment he threw his punch, a cunning glint flashed in Rivers' eyes.

Space Wolf did not choose to block or retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, letting Xiao Cai's incredibly powerful punch land on his left shoulder.

"boom!"

Since both had partially removed their armor, exposing their arms and thighs, the impact even produced the sound of bones cracking, and the powerful force caused Rivers to grunt. But using this momentum, he spun to the side at an incredible angle, his chainsaw sword tracing a perfect arc, bypassing Xiao Cai's defense, and slamming its broad blade into his left thigh!

"Snapped--!"

A heavy, teeth-grinding thud rang out!

Xiao Cai felt an irresistible force surge through his leg, as if he had been hit by a speeding truck. A sharp pain instantly swept through his body, his left leg went numb, and he lost his balance!

"Oh no!" Xiao Cai thought in alarm. In his pursuit of maximum power, he had gone all in, leaving his defenses wide open, only to have his opponent exploit his weakness using a "trading blows for blows" tactic!
Having landed a successful blow, Rivers wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by. Enduring the excruciating pain in his left shoulder, he instantly reversed his attack, wielding his chainsaw with ferocious speed, like an iron whip in a whirlwind, relentlessly striking Xiao Cai. Xiao Cai's rhythm was completely disrupted; the sharp pain in his left leg slowed his movements, forcing him to retreat and parry in a disheveled state, his previous advantage vanished. "Bang!"

Rivers kicked Xiao Cai in the chest, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

“Rookie, your punches are quite good, but your combat awareness… is still lacking a lot,” Rivers walked over step by step, his heavy footsteps like a death knell.

He raised his chainsaw sword high, ready to deliver the final blow to Xiao Cai with the hilt and end the sparring match.

The players outside the arena gasped in surprise, and Ai Ge even subconsciously took a step forward.

However, just as the sword hilt was about to strike his face, Xiao Cai's entire body suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling crimson flame!
"It's too early to be making grand pronouncements!"

【Name: Shaolin Lightness Skill】

[Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Category: Combat]

[Effect: Contains dragon flames to cover the entire body, instantly disappearing and teleporting behind the enemy]

[Note: Many people are curious why Master Liu Kang categorizes short-distance instantaneous teleportation as a form of light-body skill. A monk once asked this question, and Master Liu Kang replied, "In my view, speed is light-body skill, and this move is very fast." Upon learning this, the monks praised the master, saying he truly deserved to be called a master, possessing unique insights into martial arts that others could not match.]

boom!
The scorching heatwave spread outwards, and Xiao Cai's figure vanished into thin air!

Rivers's seemingly inevitable strike landed on empty air, creating a shallow crater in the hard ground. He was startled, but centuries of combat instincts prevented him from hesitating for even a fraction of a second, not even wasting a second to turn and search for his enemy.

His fighting instincts, like those of a wild beast, sounded an alarm—behind him!
"drink!"

Rivers roared, his waist suddenly straining, his body leaning forward, his right hand holding the sword hilt swinging backward at an ergonomically unnatural angle, the heavy blade smashing behind him with perfect precision like a battering ram!
This lightning-fast counterattack was incredibly fast and ruthless!
Almost simultaneously, Xiao Cai appeared behind Rivers. He gathered all his strength in his right leg, aimed at the exposed back of the knee that supported the entire steel body, and kicked down with all his might!
The next moment, time seemed to freeze.

The heavy sword slammed into the side of Xiao Cai's head.

Xiao Cai's kick landed squarely on Rivers' knee joint.

"clang!"

"Crack!"

Two distinctly different voices rang out simultaneously.

"Uh……"

"Well……"

Both of them simultaneously let out a muffled groan of suppressed pain, their bodies trembling violently.

Rivers felt a piercing pain in his right knee, as if the joint had been roasted by flames and then smashed by a hammer, making it unable to support his body weight any longer.

Xiao Cai's vision suddenly spun around, the violent impact making his head buzz and almost causing him to faint on the spot.

Then, in the deathly silence of the entire audience, the two steel giants, one staggering forward and the other swaying backward, finally collapsed to their knees.
