Setsuna launched a surprise attack on Ohma, instantly charging from the front and circling behind him. He then unleashed a powerful Rakshasa Palm strike, which Ohma dodged. The two then displayed the Two Tigers Style of martial arts, with a variety of moves emerging one after another. After a series of exchanges, Ohma's superior skill ultimately prevailed, and he landed several heavy punches and kicks on Kiryu Setsuna.
"Ahhh, my god, are you finally coming back?" Setsuna's condition was quite bad at the moment. He was seriously injured by Kanon in the first round and had not recovered for four or five days. The day before yesterday, he fought with the thugs of Tokyo Electric Power Company. Just now, he was stabbed by two guards of the Katagen family. Now, he was beaten by Tokita Ohma. Kiryu Setsuna was still standing. He could be called a tough guy.
Or are mentally ill people just incredibly resilient? What keeps this battered and bruised guy fighting?
In a flash, he became even more ferocious: "Humans can never become gods; only gods can regain their original greatness... Come, Ohma-kun, become a god again!"
As Setsuna approached, Tokita Ohma commanded, "Flavor, Yamashita, stay away. I was saved by Nikolai before, and now it's my turn to save others. Next, I will..."
"No, you shouldn't!" Unexpectedly, Kanon ignored Ohma and rushed straight at Setsuna: "You need to be saved too, why are you lecturing others!"
Cosmic Illusion, activate!
Kanon had been silently building up her power for a long time, but Setsuna and Ohma were both focused on their opponent and hadn't paid any attention to Kanon. This earth-shattering charge was ridiculously fast and incredibly powerful. Setsuna had no time to dodge and had no choice but to take it head-on.
"Pfft—" Another mouthful of blood. In an instant, he felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered, and he felt as if he had been hit by a small truck. His feet left the ground, and he flew backward seven or eight meters.
However, this person is indeed a master; he did not lose consciousness even under such circumstances, so his defense was effective.
"Flavor, what are you doing!" Wangma shouted from behind. He couldn't understand why Kanon would "steal" his opponent, but shouting wouldn't change anything. Kanon had already launched a pursuit on Setsuna at an extremely fast speed. After a round of fierce pursuit, Setsuna, whose stamina couldn't keep up, was punched again and staggered back more than ten steps, vomiting a lot of blood.
"Your situation is too complicated. I'm just simplifying it." After the offensive subsided slightly, Hanon said to Ohma, "There's a Chinese idiom, 'cut the Gordian knot,' and that's exactly how it is."
"What—" Before Tokita Ohma could say anything more, Kiryu Setsuna had already stood up again.
At that moment, he was also very angry and hurt. With the crisis looming, he once again passively activated the secret technique "Exorcism", which greatly enhanced his reaction speed, making everything appear in slow motion... Wait a minute, what is that?
Not everyone has slowed down.
This move wasn't new to Kanon; Setsuna had already used it in the first round, but it wasn't enough to threaten Kanon then. Now that Setsuna was injured like this, Kanon had many more ways to "torture" him, the quickest of which was—borrowing! No, it was relying on the gods! No, it was Kanon's own Valkyrie Mode!
In Setsuna's mind, everything should have been in super slow motion, but Kanon in Valkyrie mode was incredibly fast, even in "Demon Exorcism" mode.
Everything around her moved incredibly slowly, yet her opponent's speed increased dramatically. The illusions in her mind and the mental chaos did not defeat Setsuna; on the contrary, it was this stark contrast at the limits that made Setsuna begin to feel that she might truly be going insane...
If Kanon is already this fast under the perception of "Exorcism," then the situation Setsuna faces in reality is even more incredible. "Exorcism" can only enhance perception and has limited effect on the physical body, so Setsuna's movements can no longer keep up with his thoughts. He is like a third party, only able to watch as "Flavor" beats his body at unparalleled speed.
Bang, bang, bang, bang bang bang bang bang...
Heavy attacks rained down on Setsuna, and all he could do was endure them.
"Ah, Flavo, could it be that you are also... a god?"
Maybe, after all, it's Valkyrie mode...
With a crisp "crack," Kiryu Setsuna's legs were broken by Kanon's sweeping kick.
Section 207, Chapter 205: I Want to Protect You
Hanon is a transmigrator from this world, which is quite unusual. The martial artists in this world also seem to be more skilled than those in the world she transmigrated to, capable of breaking rocks with their bare hands and predicting bullets!
However, aside from that, the combat power in this world hasn't reached the sky. Humans are still humans; they'll get hungry if they don't eat, and they'll feel pain if they get hit. Basic laws of physics still apply. So, when Kanon broke Kiryu Setsuna's legs, even though he remained frenzied, he had no choice but to kneel on the ground, unable to continue fighting.
"Ugh, damn it! I was so close to personally freeing the god within Ohma..."
Setsuna was incredibly unwilling. He seemed to have wanted to do something to Ohma from the very beginning, but Kanon had completely disrupted his plans. But what could he do? After all, in a world of low-level martial arts, even the strongest martial artist wouldn't unleash a projectile...
"Hoo..." With a long breath, Kanon ended "Valkyrie Mode". In just over ten seconds, she felt her muscles tighten and her heart pound as if it was about to jump out of her chest. This move was really too much of a strain. It seems that Tokita Ohma and Kiryu Setsuna have also been using similar moves, and their physical condition must be very bad.
Looking at the bewildered and shocked Tokita Ohma, Kanon laughed and said, "Alright, stop fighting!" Relaxed, Kanon returned to her signature dry humor and uttered a line from a popular Taiwanese idol drama.
Uh, Ohma ignored Kanon and strode over, passing Kanon and coming to stand in front of Kiryu Setsuna.
Seeing Ohma approaching, Setsuna regained his spirits and roared, "Fine, it doesn't matter anymore! Use your divine power to kill me, Tokita Ohma... That way, my sins can be purified! Come, redeem me, ahhhhh!"
Seeing Wang Ma straddle Setsuna and raise his arms, Hanane couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "I didn't expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so ruthless. Are you really going to kill me?"
However, that was not the case. Tokita Ohma slammed his palm down, pressing it directly onto Setsuna's chest. The force penetrated deep into her internal organs and struck her spine. Setsuna, who was already severely injured, coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Two Tiger Style: Manipulation Form: Absolute Breath - A technique that damages the nervous system, but it can also be used to seal "Divine Power" and "Demon Exorcism". By suppressing the body's autonomic nervous system, it can limit the berserk state, at least allowing Setsuna to maintain the status quo and not become more insane.
Despite it being just one attack, Tokita Ohma was drenched in sweat, as if he had been fighting for three days and three nights, having exhausted all his strength.
Standing up, Ohma finally achieved a long period of calm: "Kiryu Setsuna, that's all I have to say to you..."
Then he turned to look at Hanon: "Flavor... I never expected that you would actually 'protect' me."
Indeed, if Kanon hadn't taken over the fight against Setsuna, Ohma's life force would have been reduced once again. His life, already as fragile as a candle in the wind, would have likely been lost in the next battle.
"Thank you, Flavo. I'll have more energy for the next match, and I hope to make it through the semifinals and meet you in the final."
"No need to thank me," Hana said decisively. "You should repay this favor now—let's have a fight."
"What?" Wang Ma and Yamashita Kazuo, who had been completely bewildered, were both stunned.
"I want to protect you!" Hana smiled.
“If you’re going to help someone, help them all the way. Your next opponent will definitely be Kuroki Gensai, and he’s not one to hold back. Even if you conserve your energy this round, there’s still a high chance you’ll be killed by Kuroki. So it’s better if I defeat you. At least I’ll be more careful with my attacks, and your chances of survival will be higher.” Hanon shrugged. “Besides, your opponent this round should have been mine. Now we’ve just moved the battlefield to an empty forest, and the only witnesses are Mr. Yamashita and the unconscious Setsuna.”
“…Heh, I’ve been underestimated.” Tokita Ohma paused for a moment, but instead of flying into a rage, he seemed somewhat relieved.
From the moment he saw himself vomiting blood the night before last, the girl in front of him, Flavor, or rather the young lady from the Eagle Wind family, began to try every means to protect him and prevent him from dying. After getting to know her, Flavor was indeed a good person and a top-notch expert. Now that she was making such a request, it seemed reasonable, easy to understand, and even easier to accept.
“Very well, I participated in this competition to demonstrate the strength of our Two Tigers School and to seek out the strongest in the world. If you can really defeat me, it will fulfill this purpose... Moreover, I feel that you are not someone who gives up easily.” Tokita Ohma nodded, and while speaking, he began to jump and warm up, preparing for battle.
Ohma readily accepted the invitation, and Kanon, without needing to say much, immediately assumed the charging stance of Cosmic Illusion: "The scenery here is beautiful, but it's too desolate. It shouldn't be your burial place... Ohma Tokita, don't die so easily!"
"Wait, wait, what are you doing?!" Yamashita Kazuo, who had been completely confused, panicked. He had just been pleased that Ohma hadn't been injured by Setsuna, but now he was going to fight Flavor? Seeing how easily Flavor had defeated Setsuna, she was clearly a more formidable opponent. Although judging from their conversation, Flavor seemed to be acting in Ohma's best interest, Yamashita Kazuo couldn't help but feel uneasy.
In Kazuo Yamashita's opinion, it would be best if Ohma didn't fight Flavor or participate in the final elimination tournament. He would return to the arena and declare his withdrawal to the Kengan Association. However, reason tells him that Ohma would not agree to this, so it might actually be a good ending if Flavor didn't fatally defeat Ohma.
"You, you..." Ichifu's voice trailed off, and finally he could only urge, "Be careful..."
"Don't worry, Kazuo Yama, I will win!" Ohma waved to Kazuo, then stopped jumping and assumed a fighting stance.
Two Tiger Style: Manipulation Form: Ultimate Puppet - This technique involves adjusting the body to its optimal state, controlling the flow of power, and ultimately achieving activity with minimal physical exertion. In short, it's like giving yourself a long-term buff in a game, maximizing your luck and allowing you to perform at your best in all kinds of offensive, defensive, and evasive dice rolls.
However, it's just a mystical buff after all; the physical abilities themselves won't change. How long can Tokita Ohma withstand Kanon's fierce attacks?
Kanon is activated, Cosmic Illusion, go for it!
Author's Note: From now on, Kanon will be transformed into Flavor Headquarters Sander~
Chapter 208 Chapter 206: Kanon vs Ouma
This time, Kanon had been building up her strength for a long time, so her impact was naturally terrifying. Tokita Ohma did not dare to directly confront her, but instead used a move called "Yanagi" from the Niko-ryu style to change the flow of power and deflect Kanon's attack.
However, there is a limit to how much force "Liu" can deflect. For example, after watching the first round of matches, Wang Ma secretly compared himself to some fighters as hypothetical opponents, such as Adam, who has super erector spinae muscles. His heavy punches cannot be completely deflected by "Liu".
Adam's ordinary heavy punches were not enough to deal with it, let alone Kanon's long-prepared cosmic illusion? When the move was halfway through, Ohma noticed something was wrong.
"Is this thing really a woman? No, is it really human? I've exhausted my power, yet she still has plenty left?"
Indeed, Hanon took a wide lunge, but she managed to stand firmly on her feet and maintain her balance. Once Ohma's attack was exhausted, she raised her other arm and threw a second heavy punch.
"So heavy!" Wang Ma took the punch from Hua Yin and flew backward, feeling a dent in the arm muscle that had blocked the punch.
That wasn't the end of it. After forcing Ohma back with a punch, Kanon launched a relentless and impactful attack.
Kanon didn't activate Valkyrie Mode because she had just used it once, and using it again immediately would be too taxing on her body. More importantly, her goal was to defeat Ohma, not to kill him...
Even so, the power of Hanon's heavy punch still far exceeds that of ordinary people.
As he retreated, Ohma realized something was wrong: "I'm already using 'Unbreakable,' but it doesn't seem to be able to completely stop her force. If my 'Unbreakable' is a ten, this guy is probably around thirty..."
So Wang Ma simply pushed off the ground and retreated again, trying to increase the distance before making another move.
"Foolish plan!" Hua Yinqing shouted. Her speed was no slower than Wang Ma's. How could Wang Ma, who was retreating, outrun Hua Yinqing, who was charging head-on?
Huayin stretched out her leg and pushed off the ground, charging towards Wangma. At the same time, her arm began to spin, unleashing a Rakshasa Palm.
With a muffled thud, Wang Ma's "Indestructible" technique blocked the twisting force of the Rakshasa Palm, but the impact of the heavy punch was not negated. Wang Ma's retreat speed suddenly increased. This time, he did not retreat but flew backward and crashed to the ground.
"Hoo—" Hanon didn't pursue again, but took a deep breath and instantly adjusted her body back to its best state.
"Don't use that kind of trap," Hana scolded. "I'm not going to play bedroom games with that stinky man!"
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Wang Ma actually sat up easily. It was clear that Kanon's heavy blow had not seriously injured him. He had been lying on the ground for a long time, which was actually a strategy to lure Kanon into a duel on the ground.
The two resumed their stances, ready to decide the outcome with striking techniques. Their previous exchange and counter-attacks were merely an initial test of each other, yet they left Yamashita Kazuo, watching from the sidelines, utterly shocked. It wasn't because of their fighting skills, but because…
"Ah, Flavo, why has your voice become so high-pitched? Is...is it a woman's voice? Flavo, you..." Yamashita Kazuo fell into doubt about life.
But Kanon had no time to pay attention to Kazuo; she and Ohma had already started fighting again!
Tokita Ohma is indeed a good opponent. His strength has been increasing with each round. Kanon even secretly wondered if they should let Ohma fight again. Maybe his match with Master Kuroki would be very exciting.
Well, since the fight has already begun, Kanon isn't the type to regret her decision. Right now, all she can do is defeat Ohma first.
The distance between the two closed again. Wang Ma used the Two Tiger Style: Fire Heaven Form: Fire Walk, moving around Hanon with agile steps, waiting for an opportunity to attack. His attack method was the Two Tiger Style: Manipulation Style: Water Heaven Form: Water Swallow - an irregular punching path, with his arm swinging along the entire path of his strikes.
In fact, looking back, Kiryu Setsuna once used a "tiger-fox friendship" when facing Kanon, which was a killing move that combined the Water Swallow with the Rakshasa Palm. That was not difficult for Kanon, let alone the original Water Swallow, which had a weaker killing power.
"As for footwork, be careful to maintain distance. As for this chaotic attack pattern, focus on the point where he exerts force from his shoulders and don't let him swing around freely."
Hanon quickly devised a countermeasure, but while it seemed easy, it required a high level of basic martial arts skills. Hanon needed to maintain a good distance from Wangma, retreat first, and then approach him before Wangma's water swallow could take off, launching a counterattack.
If it were Kanon before the elimination tournament, she probably wouldn't have been able to do this; she would have needed to find another way to deal with Ohma's attacks. But now, after a series of battles, Kanon's combat experience and martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, she has been transformed into a top-tier fighter, making it possible for her to suppress Ohma in parrying his moves.
Wang Ma's attacks were ineffective, and Hanon seized the opportunity to launch a series of counterattacks. In the end, she pinpointed the opening in Wang Ma's center and delivered a powerful palm strike.
"Tokita Ohma, fall after this one strike!"
