My wife is the stand-in.

So he continued his attack, looking at Saria with a half-smile: "Only me?"

Saria swept Amanosaki up in her arms and pressed him onto the bed. The two of them were pressed against each other, their eyes glazed over, their lips drawing closer like magnets drawn to each other.

Ah, the bright midday sun in Chongqing, its rays spilling onto the windowsill and sheets, a warm, comforting scent mingling with the clean smell of shirts, wafting to my nose. My body is held tightly by my lover's embrace, and the world begins to shrink.

Mom, I'm going to lose my first kiss today.

In my mind, I could almost picture a girl on her way to Tokyo, furiously writing down her experiences for her mother in the countryside. These unfamiliar sights and sounds startled her, and she kept exclaiming, "Amazing!"

Amanosaki was in this state at that moment, staring intently at Saria's full, rose-colored lips, watching them imprint themselves on his own lips, his mind filled with "My first kiss was amazing!"

He felt an electric current, as if his kiss with Saria had turned on a circuit switch, and a strange bio-current was circulating through their bodies.

An inexplicable heat began to spread from the depths of her bones, where there was no firewood or fuel, and the breath that Saria exhaled gradually became hot.

A biological program etched into our genes made the judgment.

Everything is just right, the timing is perfect.

boom! !

The explosion shook the entire neighborhood.

"The ultimate hardcore gamer!! We met up with our online friends! My soul is coming to find you through the internet!"

It sounded like a thousand bubbles popping.

Du Wenxi, who runs the copy shop on the street corner, immediately rushed out the door with a battle-damaged fire axe, which he uses to scare people. He is Amanosaki's old partner in the cultural and creative industry, so he naturally knows who the hard-working guy on this street is.

Driven by brotherhood, Du Wenxi rushed out the door and returned to the copy shop whistling in less than three seconds.

As soon as he entered, he quickly closed the shop door, ignoring the wind and rain outside.

"Brother Liver Emperor, although you value women over friends, it's not that I don't want to help you this time, I'm just powerless to do anything about it!" Du Wenxi hid under the counter, his hand trembling slightly as he called the police.

The whole street was trembling slightly.

A giant praying mantis, over three meters tall and covered in vibrant camouflage, was perched in the middle of the bridge archway.

Its triangular head spun around, and its two compound eyes, each the size of a bathroom light bulb, paired with its mouthparts that looked like countless tiny hands, were indescribably disgusting and frightening.

But this mantis also has four legged legs stepping on countless broken tiles, and its two forelegs spread out to the left and right, revealing its two proud sharp blades, making it look very majestic.

True Soul Mantis, whose online name is "True Soul," is the guy who was arguing with Amanosaki on the forum.

Amanosaki family.

Lying on the bed, Amanosaki was panting heavily. He had almost suffocated from Saria's kiss earlier. In his dazed state, he heard a very piercing cutting sound. Then Saria ended the suffocating deep kiss, and her upper body, straddling him, rose and fell with her breath.

Anger traveled through his thoughts to Amanosaki's mind, giving him a jolt of energy.

He then discovered that his toilet, balcony, bedroom wall, and even half of his bed had vanished, and the scorching sunlight and the bustling sounds of the street crowd rushed in all at once.

Saria's face darkened as she single-handedly blocked the Mantis's fatal blow with her special shield.

She looked at Amanosaki lying on the bed, his robe half-undone, revealing his smooth upper body, his cheeks flushed, his eyes filled with affection, and his waistband still unfastened, his hand holding the shield trembling slightly.

“Just three inches short…” she gritted her teeth and uttered those four words.

"What?" Amanosaki asked, not having heard clearly.

Saria had already donned her combat suit and leaped out.

"You ruined my plans, I'll fucking kill you!"

boom!

The True Soul Mantis flapped its membranous wings to dodge Saria's downward attack, its triangular head turning as it observed the enemy's movements.

The shield snapped open, parting the scattered dust. Saria, clad in her signature Rhinestone Charge suit, held the shield in one hand and clenched her fist in the other, glaring furiously at the Mantis.

As everyone knows, Rhine's punches are more powerful than her medical gun.

In addition to being an excellent medical doctor and biological research expert, Saria is also a master of suppression and riot control. The department she once headed was called the Rhine Life Defense Department.

"I am a True Soul Mantis, and I was just spreading negative energy online to absorb it... but I was harassed by that bastard Amanosaki, who even openly started a harem to humiliate me... Don't you know that male mantises are eaten by females after mating? I'm so angry and cold, when will we male mantises be able to stand up for ourselves!"

The True Soul Mantis spoke in the sound of a thousand bubbles popping, its mouthparts wriggling and its body assuming a fighting stance.

"Therefore, I, the True Soul Mantis, will follow the internet cable and kill you scoundrels today!"

You can see that it is very angry.

but.

Hearing that she and Amanosaki missed home run for such a ridiculous reason, Saria was a hundred times angrier than before, and even Amanosaki, who was watching the show upstairs with a blank expression, was also aroused.

"My anger is greater than yours, you bastard!"

Sei Rhine, the Fist King, pulled out her special shield that had sunk into the ground, and unleashed her Originium Arts with boundless fury.

"Die, you son of a bitch!!"

Chapter Sixteen: Those who ruin my plans shall die.

Today's battle is different from yesterday's. This time, because it took place in the city, there were many spectators at the scene.

Everyone kept a distance of over 100 meters from the accident site, while those living in nearby buildings leaned out of their phones to record and watch the incident using the zoom function.

Highlight one person as having experience.

When Saria raised her shield and charged towards the True Soul Mantis, Amanosaki, who was on the rooftop, could hear the entire street gasping in unison.

The temperature in the neighborhood rose a few degrees as everyone gasped for air.

The Soul-Suppressing Mantis was overjoyed to see Saria take the initiative to attack. It swung its scythe at Saria's head, vowing to behead this woman who should not exist.

The scythe scraped sparks off the special shield, and with one eye closed, Saria felt as if a hundred fingernails were scraping a blackboard next to her ear.

5 seconds.

With her eyebrows raised in anger, Saria lunged forward with her right leg, pressing down on her lower body. Valy's powerful physique and her long-trained muscles allowed her to stabilize herself almost instantly. Using her core strength, her spine twisted, pulling her upper body to the left.

Saria used her shield to deflect the force of the scythe's slash, landing on her left side. With a push of her right leg in a lunge position, she calmly slid past the True Soul Mantis's blade.

"impossible!"

Seeing that its all-out attack had failed, the True Soul Mantis flew into a rage: "My blade has a force of one and a half tons! Under this scythe, everything can be cut! Why didn't your shield break!?"

10 seconds.

Saria looked at the Soul Mantis with disdain: "The angled tank armor can even block cannonballs, let alone my shield. Your move is far inferior to True Silver Slash, at most reaching the level of Franka's Thermite Sword. Even if I am only at 40% of the level of the real Saria now, it is more than enough to deal with you."

"How dare you say I'm inferior to others...you mortal!" The True Soul Mantis flapped its membranous wings wildly in anger, making a buzzing sound, and launched into its standard mantis intimidation, "I, the True Soul Master, am the number one swordsman in the world!! Take my Hell Burial Hand Chop!"

It spread its four legs, then briefly leaped up with the vibration of its membranous wings, and pounced on Saria.

Saria sidestepped the scythe, her shield slamming into the chest of the Soul-Suppressing Tonic, her right fist emerging from under the shield.

Uppercut!

Without hesitation, he shoved his fist into the mouth of the Soul-Suppressing Mantis, smashing its chewing mandibles, which could crush metal and stone, to pieces!

The jaw, midtongue, palate, and lower lip were smashed into a pulp by this old punch, and several fragments of the mouthparts flew everywhere.

The empty sickle cuts through the asphalt road, lifting up large chunks of asphalt to reveal the concrete foundation.

Having landed a successful blow, Saria immediately stepped back to create distance, waving her hand dismissively.

15 seconds.

The residents hiding nearby cheered as they saw the demon's broken mouth gushing blood. Some of the bolder ones even stood out in the street and took pictures with their phones.

At this moment, the Soul-Suppressing Mantis's mind was stunned by the punch that shattered its mandibles, leaving it mostly paralyzed. It was completely unable to make the wise decision to escape based on Saria's normal movement speed, abnormal reaction speed, attack strength, and defense.

At this moment, it had given up thinking, repeatedly muttering, "Impossible, I am the best in the world. Impossible, I am the best in the world." Simultaneously, its forelimbs were fully extended, and its two scythes locked onto Saria.

Seeing this, Saria immediately bent her upper body as if gathering strength: "If you have no new tricks, then prepare to die."

At this moment, the third indicator light on her Rheinland charging suit lit up, and the fourth light lit up as the standoff continued.

The moment the light came on, Saria's tense muscles relaxed.

Rhine's King of Fighters charged toward the enemy's midsection, his right fist beneath the shield covered in a layer of black calcium.

Originium Arts - Calcification.

Modern buildings typically use interior wall putty for interior walls and lime for exterior walls. After the Amanosaki family's house was cleaved in half by the True Soul Mantis, the wall collapsed onto the street, and now, the neighborhood beneath Saria's feet is littered with fragments of the wall.

Putty and lime contain a large amount of calcium, and Saria's Originium Arts are precisely for controlling calcium!

At this moment, the calcium content in her body was continuously increasing as the battle continued, and the surface of her fists was also covered with hard material that was transforming into hard enamel.

In addition, with the help of Originium Arts, she can enhance her attack and defense by about 3% every five seconds by constructing an exoskeleton-like structure through the hardened energy suit.

In other words, 15 seconds from now, Saria is about 10% stronger than she was 15 seconds ago, just from the bonus of the charging suit.

The more they fight, the stronger they become; this is the best description of it.

"Go to hell!"

Saria and the True Soul Mantis clashed, instantly closing the distance between them to within two meters.

The True Soul Mantis's two scythes, one on each side, were used to trap Saria between its two forelegs, employing the mantis's quick and swift control technique!

Under everyone's incomprehensible gaze, Saria was locked up by the True Soul Mantis!

"Run! The swordsman has been captured!" The people standing on the street all ran away again.

Instead, he sat on the half-destroyed bed on the rooftop, and upon seeing his girlfriend's unexpected action, he whistled, clapped, and exclaimed how brilliant it was.

Saria, firmly bound by two scythes and the serrated edges of her forelimbs, looked at the True Soul Mantis and chuckled to herself:

"Your brain must have been damaged by that punch. I'm a PhD in biology now, and I know your habits inside and out. Praying mantises use their forelimbs to control their prey and then use their mouthparts to dismantle the insect's exoskeleton. Your mouth was already rotten from the start, so guess why I changed my mind at the last minute and got caught by you?"

As Saria spoke, she slowly recalled how her good fortune had fallen through, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Because I want to be with you while you're still alive..."

"I'll smash your head in with my own hands."

These were the last words the True Soul Mantis heard; in its compound eyes, countless fists gradually grew larger.

……

"And then a demon who could wreak havoc on an entire county and easily suppress even the most powerful martial arts masters just died like that?" The voice in the earpiece asked in astonishment.
