People were surprised to find that Hosokawa Ikkyu was just as fast as Monta—running backwards.
Hosokawa Ikkyu's greatest strength was his ultimate coordination in running forward and backward with equal speed. It's not difficult for a player to run 40 yards in under five seconds, but to be able to do it backward in under five seconds is a truly terrifying feat.
"Tch, that stinky monkey is being marked so closely..." Hiruzen abandoned his plan to pass the ball: "We only played against him once and we already know that there's no way that stinky monkey can break through Ikkyu's close defense. We need to change our tactics."
At this moment, Yamabushi used his speed advantage to bypass Kurita and pounced. Although Yamabushi was faster than Kurita, he was only one of the best on both offense and defense, not even as good as Otawara, and even less of a threat to Hiruma. He had plenty of time to abandon the ball and launch a new attack—but he didn't.
Hiruma's tone suddenly changed: "Change tactics... right now!" His voice was loud, and the defenders from Shinryuji instinctively took a half-step towards Sena. Hiruma's devilish smile widened even more: "Hehehe, who said we only have two offensive options, the stinky monkey and the stinky bean?"
The ball was passed not forward but backward, and even further back than Hiruma, the quarterback, was the team's halfback, Kanon!
"Ahhh, it's Lightspeed Masked Man 23, he's a tough guy to deal with!" The players from Shinryuji Temple had watched the video and knew that this mysterious masked player usually didn't participate in the attack, but he was strong and fast, and once he started attacking, he was hard to stop. Therefore, they made a plan.
So Kanon ran with the ball, but more and more people blocked her way. Just like in the West vs. Oujo match, if Kanon kept her bottom line of not hurting anyone and got entangled, she would eventually be overwhelmed by multiple people. Of course, since she had gained some insight during the final pressure on Oujo, Kanon's control over the flow of power has reached a new level. Now, even if five or six people were hanging on her, they might not be able to stop Kanon from running.
However, there's an even simpler way to handle it!
After shaking off two or three defenders, Kanon surged into Shinryuji's half of the field. Ikkyu was still watching Menta, and Sena had two or three defenders around him. In front of Kanon were several Shinryuji defenders, and behind him was Yamabushi chasing back... Then Kanon tossed the ball high and chose to pass it.
The stadium is huge, a fact that Hanon realized long ago. This often left even her monster-level existence feeling helpless. So why should she insist on fighting against an entire team by herself?
Hanon's pass was high, drawing a perfect parabola, flying straight towards the penalty area of Shinryuji Temple, where someone was already waiting—Yukimitsu.
Xueguang was the kind of bookworm in the traditional sense, physically weak, mildly nearsighted, not fast, and with almost no athletic talent. However, he was not only determined, but also memorized all of the Deimon team's tactical routes, which was in stark contrast to Hanon, who would get dizzy at the first tactical move... cough cough, because Xueguang's positioning was as accurate as the West Team's Iron Horse Captain, Hanon didn't need to see the ball before throwing it, and the ball floated gently into Xueguang's arms.
"Beep—Deadman team, touchdown!"
"Yay! They scored!" The stadium erupted in cheers. Needless to say, the bench of the Deimon team erupted in jubilation, and the spectators in the stands also found the attack direct, effective, and a feast for the eyes. Among them were even some like Miho...
"Hehehe." Miho let out a rare laugh: "My Kanon is amazing~ We're going to make a fortune this time."
The young commentator, Ms. Riko, said, "They scored against Shinryuji in just two blocks at the start. The Deimon Demon Bat's attack power is truly impressive! As expected of the Tokyo champions, they are truly remarkable! However..." She changed the subject, "Shinryuji Buddha Dragon has defeated the Tokyo champions nine times in a row. Among them, there were many teams that scored at the start and even dominated them for most of the game. For example, last year, the Golden Generation of the Royal White Knights had a big lead over Shinryuji until the first-year Kongo Brothers came out and were overturned."
“That’s right, I remember that match.” The official commentator next to Riko nodded: “The Royal White Knights of the Golden Generation are the ultimate defensive team. They almost shut out Shinryuji in that match, but the Kongo brothers turned the tide in less than five minutes after they came on. That was also their debut... Now it’s Shinryuji’s turn to attack. Can Deimon withstand them?”
Sure enough, as Musashi scored the extra kick, a commotion broke out on the sidelines. As a top team, Shinryuji had a powerful aura, and reporters' cameras were pointed at the Kongo Brothers, snapping away. Agon and Unsui stepped onto the field.
"What? Agon is going to play in the first attack? That's so rare! We made the right choice coming today!" The audience erupted in another uproar.
Ahan himself was also filled with murderous intent: "If you dare to drag me down, I'll kill you!"
The game has just begun and will continue.
Section 327, Chapter 323: Agon's Formation, Kanon's Interception
As Agon stepped onto the field, the atmosphere in the entire stadium changed. Most of the spectators held their breath, preparing to watch the next attack from Shinryuji.
"You all know that stinky black guy is tough, we need to stop him." Hiruzen instructed his teammates: "Start with Stinky Bean, everyone on the road should intercept him."
Kurita couldn't help but worry: "Sena's physique is so different from Agon's..."
Hiruzen smacked Kurita a few times: "You stinky fat pig, are you saying this again? At least that brat can catch up with Agon, but you can't even catch up. What can you do? You might as well catch up and get killed!" He turned to Sena: "So, brat, you should use the same method you used on Shin to fight against Agon."
Hiruma's words were also a last resort. Agon's speed was very fast, and only Sena and Kanon could catch up with him. Kanon's position was lagging behind, so naturally Sena had to go to hold the first line of defense. I believe that after fighting against Ajin, Sena... cough, still couldn't do it.
As expected, after Shinryuji kicked off, Agon immediately ran with the ball. With just a feint, Sena was so frightened by his fierce aura that he retreated.
"Oh, Sena is quite clever~" Coach Goroku was confused and thought that this was a deliberate show of weakness: "In order to confuse the opponent and hide his purpose of hitting, Sena even knows how to run backwards."
“No…” Mamoru and Suzune shook their heads silently: “I think he’s just scared.”
There's a difference between Mamoru and Suzune. As Sena's childhood friend and older sister, Mamoru is only worried about whether he will get hurt. Suzune, on the other hand, has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Sena and thinks highly of Sena's willpower: "But Sena will definitely rush in in the end."
As expected, although Sena initially hesitated, she eventually met Agon's attack with a single-handed strike. This is a very common attack in both offense and defense, using explosive force to knock the opponent down.
This move is similar to a sumo wrestler's push, and its power is related to the speed and weight of the attacker. Sena was fast enough, but he only weighed 48 kilograms. When he pushed, Agon seemed not to feel it at all.
"Huh? What did you do?" Agon's expression was as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. Then, with a casual shove, Sena was knocked down by Agon's punch before he could even savor the feeling of despair.
As expected, he is still far from being as good as an Agon!
Sena's attack only held Agon back for a fraction of a second. The Deimon's offensive and defensive lines didn't have time to advance, allowing Agon to continue his run. He ran 40 yards in 4.7 seconds, and the Deimon members couldn't catch up with him. Just as he was about to face Kanon, someone suddenly rushed in from the side—it was Hiruma!
Hiruma, the soul of the Demi-mon, is sharp-tongued but not the kind of person who lets his teammates die while he just talks. When Agon's running route was within his defense range, Hiruma immediately rushed over without hesitation—but it was no use, and he was knocked down by Agon while still in mid-air.
However, Hiruma was more experienced and physically stronger than Sena. After landing, he used the momentum of his forward charge to reach out and grab Agon's leg: "Hehehe, how are you going to run now?"
Well, A-Gam, whose legs were being held, couldn't run, but Hiruzen wasn't handcuffed to his legs... A-Gam reached out and pressed down on Hiruzen's helmet, and with a forceful push—oh dear, Hiruzen crashed to the ground, blood splattering from the corner of his mouth, and his hand loosened.
"Oh, trash, did you really think you could stop me for a moment?" Agon chuckled disdainfully, shook off Hirudo, and charged toward the Deimon Forbidden Zone.
This is the moment when he will truly confront Kanon.
Seeing the slightly thin and frail Lightspeed Masked Man 23 ahead, Ahan opened his eyes wide, his aura growing increasingly violent and ferocious: "I wanted to beat you up when we were drawing lots, you brat!"
Agon's attack method is hand chop. From the Yamabushi of the offensive and defensive line to the receiver Ikkyu and then to Kongo Agon, this technique, which is derived from martial arts, is the common countermeasure of Shinryuji Temple. When used by Agon, who has extremely high physical qualities, the destructive power is also amazing.
Emmm, the "hand chop" is a fighting technique...
"Huh?" Ahan's hand chop was easily blocked. All the strength he used in his arm vanished instantly, as if the arm of the masked man 23 was poisoned and would cause him to lose strength as soon as it touched him.
Kanon leaned closer to Ahan: "To be honest, ever since the lottery, I've really wanted to beat you up!"
Immediately, Kanon pressed down hard on Agon's helmet with her other hand, sending Agon sprawling face-first into the mud, his face almost embedded in the ground in front of the Mud Gate scoring area...
"Beep—" The referee's whistle blew.
"Hmm?" Because Agon was so annoying, and had even made Hiruzen bleed earlier, Kanon was also a little carried away and hit a bit too hard. When she heard the whistle, she immediately became worried: "Oh no, what if I hit too hard and got disqualified for assault?"
At that moment, Hanon's inner monologue was overflowing: "Isn't American football supposed to be all about physicality? That guy Ewang broke several bones and didn't get sent off! It would be so embarrassing if I got off the field... What would happen to the game..."
However, the referee simply said, "Shinryuji Buddha Dragon, touchdown."
"Huh? Huh?" Hanon then noticed that because Agon had fallen so close to the scoring line, he was lying face down on the ground, but his hand holding the ball was stretched out and crossed the scoring line by a very small distance.
"This..." Hanon covered her face with her hand in embarrassment, "This is too embarrassing!"
The people of Mud Gate were both angry and disappointed, especially the "Haha Three Brothers," who had always been at odds with Kanon and spoke more directly. They angrily accused Kanon of not watching where she was going, while Hiruma smiled and said, "Hehehe, as expected of the stinky young lady, she can crush the stinky black head. Things will be much easier from now on."
After all, the gains and losses of a single goal or point are not important. The game has just begun, and there is still a long time to plan. With Hanon, Hiruma has a much wider range of pieces at his disposal.
As for Shenlong Temple, while some breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate, many more were filled with worry. Their ace, Agon, had been intercepted, and this match seemed less easy than they had imagined.
Moreover, playing against that ill-tempered Agon puts immense pressure on everyone. Now that he has suffered a huge setback, he will likely be even more difficult to get along with in the remaining matches.
But to their surprise, Agon didn't act very aggressively after getting up. His nose was bleeding from being thrown to the ground, making him and Hiruzen seem to be in the same boat. Agon wiped away the blood and silently walked back to the Shinryuji team, saying only one sentence to his teammates: "I've changed my mind. I'll play on both offense and defense in today's match."
"Huh? Really?" The people of Shenlong Temple regained a little confidence. That genius Agon had actually entered such a serious state?
The elder brother, Yunshui, gasped: "Ahan isn't unangry; on the contrary, his anger has crossed the line, which is why he calmed down. Perhaps he already harbors murderous intent."
“I only intended to deal with them lightly,” Agon said coldly, staring at the Deimon members. “But now I’m going to wipe them all out.”
Author's Note: I saw an Indonesian female fighter, Chintya Candranaya, today, and she reminds me a lot of Kanon from the movie "Kane"~
Section 328, Chapter 324: The so-called flying dragon is...
"Oh? Time to defend?"
Seeing that Agon was still on the field when Shinryuji was defending, Kanon couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. She had just tackled Agon but failed to stop him from scoring a touchdown, causing a blunder. Now she could get her revenge in this offensive round.
Hanon even excitedly stretched her arms: "Come on, I can block your charge, let's see if you can... um?"
Before Kanon could even get ready, Deimon had already served the ball. As soon as Kobayakawa Sena received the ball, Agon appeared beside him and cut the ball away.
"Beep—Demon team's attack failed, Shenlong Temple gets the ball."
Oh no, it's all over. The fighting spirit that Hanon had just gained instantly vanished.
"Wow, that guy named Agon is amazing!" Even Mieko, who seemed to understand but didn't quite, noticed something: "His chop is incredibly powerful; the skinny players from the Deimon team can't handle it at all!"
“That’s true.” Adam agreed. “This Fvcking dreadlocked guy is incredibly strong for an average person. The young lady’s teammates are mostly weak boys. Getting hit once won’t hurt them, but if they get hit a few more times, they’ll lose the ball. The young lady won’t have time to make any runs!”
This once again proves that American football is a team sport. Kanon can't run from the back of the team to the front in a second. By the time she gets close, Shinryuji has already won possession of the ball, unless Kanon runs around with the ball herself from the beginning... But can her stamina support such an offensive style for the whole game?
Well, we'll talk about that later. Right now, the problem with Deimon is that we need to guard against attacks from Shinryuji.
The ball was kicked off, and Jin Gang Yunshui was about to pass it when suddenly his teammates in front of him fell to the ground one after another. A not-so-burly figure was rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed—it was Hua Yin!
Hanon mustered her fighting spirit once again and launched a surprise attack on Shinryuji Temple. Her impact was undeniable; no one in Shinryuji Temple, including Yamabushi, could stop her. She cleaved through the waves, demonstrating her invincible charging ability.
"Amazing!" Kongo Yunshui exclaimed inwardly. The destructive power displayed by this "Light Speed Masked Man 23" was no less than that of Shinjiro or even Oo Rikiya. This was the first time he had ever seen someone throw Captain Yamabushi away so easily.
pity……
It would take time for Hanon to break through the Shinryuji defenses. Even if it wasted only a second, Yunshui would still have time to make a short hand-to-hand pass. Beside him was his twin brother, Agon.
Hanon was stunned: "Huh? What's Agon doing here?"
After the kickoff, Agon did not rush forward to receive the ball, but instead turned around and retreated to Yunshui's side, forming a double quarterback formation.
“The strength of Vajra Agon is not reflected in its superhuman physical abilities,” said commentator Riko. “This is the strongest formation of Shenlong Temple—the Flying Dragon! This attack formation can be said to be a divine technique that has never been stopped by anyone, and it is also the secret weapon of Shenlong Temple to dominate Kanto.”
After receiving the ball, Agon prepared to advance. Because he was very close to Yunshui, Hanon turned around and said, "You have the ball? That's even better!"
Unexpectedly, Ahan also chimed in: "Come and chase after me? That would be even better!"
Without much fighting or the previous arrogance, Ahan raised his hand again when Hanon rushed close to him, and the ball flew out steadily, landing back in Yunshui's hand.
Actually, the so-called "Flying Dragon" formation is just a game of "playing the monkey" using the tacit understanding and abilities of the King Kong brothers...
"Ugh, damn it!" Hanon realized the problem and felt a surge of frustration. If only she could hit someone! But now she could only watch helplessly as the ball flew away, too afraid to chase after it. If she turned to Yunshui now, Yunshui would definitely pass the ball back to Agon. She couldn't outrun a ball flying in the sky, so she needed her teammates' help.
Thanks to Kanon's charge that knocked down a group of Shinryuji's offensive and defensive players, the "Haha Brothers" and Kosuke had an opening to intercept Unsui. However, although Unsui was not as good as the genius younger brother, his physical abilities were not bad, and his skills were top-notch. After dodging the two, he had nowhere to go, so he threw the ball far away—where Ikkyu was!
Ikkyu ran backwards, and Monta chased closely. Ikkyu was naturally at a disadvantage in observing the ball's landing point, not to mention that Ikkyu's physical attributes were stronger. With these multiple factors combined, Monta's aerial combat ability was far behind, and Ikkyu received the ball and scored a touchdown directly - 13 to 7, Shinryuji took the lead.
Then, Shinryuji scored in the follow-up kick, making it 14-7. During the kick-off, Agon did not come off the field.
