"What?!" Tokugawa Mitsunari was both surprised and angry at missing her. Fortunately, he was still smart enough to calm himself down and asked again, "Did she say where she was going?"
"No, but she did ask where the substitute players were."
Tokugawa was taken aback, then overjoyed: "Huh? She... Hahaha, the headquarters was right, Miss Ye really wants to participate in the competition!"
In Tokugawa's view, Ye Hanon's search for other candidates clearly indicated that she had tacitly accepted her status as a candidate. The next headache for Tokugawa was how to arrange for her to compete as soon as possible.
"Hmm, I wonder which of the next contestants will be the weakest and unable to fight again after the match... Damn it, I really want to see Ye Huayin make her move soon! How about we arrange an invasion match right away and let Ye Huayin compete against the contestants who have already qualified?"
Bah! That old scoundrel Tokugawa has lost all shame in order to satisfy his desire to watch powerful warriors fight. If we really do things his way, the allocation of competition slots will be far too arbitrary!
Hanon never expected that Tokugawa could overturn even the rules he himself set. She just wanted to greet the other candidates and get to know them, so she didn't plan to compete early.
However, no one expected that both Tokugawa's plan and Kanon's idea would encounter a "variable".
"Eek, eek, eek—" Accompanied by a pitiful howl, a person ran out of the corridor in the distance.
It was a man, but his screams were so shrill that they sounded almost indistinguishable from a woman's scream. He was running incredibly fast, and when he saw someone blocking his way, he was startled and quickened his pace, yelling, "Don't touch me! You're not human!"
"I'm not human?" Hanon was taken aback. "And who would touch you... ugh!"
The man threw a punch at Hana. Although he was mentally broken and extremely flustered, his punching stance was still quite respectable. Hana dodged it and shouted, "It was you who wanted to touch me!"
But the man was no longer listening to anything; he just instinctively launched an attack. When his first punch missed, he kicked out with lightning speed.
"Behave yourself!" Huayin didn't move, turned to the side and took the attack with her shoulder. Then the man let out a "whoop", pulled his leg back and lost his balance, falling to the ground.
The "Phoenix Fairy" technique can not only defend against and neutralize force, but also dislocate the opponent's joints.
Once the man stopped moving around, Hana was able to observe him closely, and then she felt that this person looked somewhat familiar: "You...you're not a candidate for the competition, what's your name again?"
Unfortunately, the man was greatly traumatized, and the excruciating pain from the dislocation caused him to faint after only a few seconds.
“Kuriki…” Someone behind her answered Kanon’s question. When she turned around, Kanon recognized the person because his height was very distinctive. He was a fellow wrestler, Taizan Touyu, who was also a candidate wrestler. He was very tall and second only to the giant Andes among all the wrestlers.
Huayin knew Douyu, but Douyu didn't know Huayin. When he arrived, he saw Huayin shaking the fallen Kurichiki and thought she was just an ordinary girl passing by: "Miss, he didn't hurt you, did he? Kurichiki was just attacked and was agitated."
"Ah, I'm fine, but who attacked him?"
"I don't know the specifics. When I found them just now, Kuriki was already extremely violent and even hit me."
Sure enough, Hana noticed blood on Touyu's nose, and at the same time, she realized the problem in Touyu's words: "'Them'?"
“Hmm, Miss, you're in the audience for tonight's tournament, right? You must know there are five substitute contestants. Of the three present so far, besides me, Kuriki and Sapiyar were both knocked down by the mysterious figure, and they were beaten pretty badly.” Dou Yu scratched his head. Everyone thinks they are important, and Dou Yu was no exception, so he naturally thought of himself: “I guess this is an attack targeting the substitute contestants. Maybe there's some big conspiracy. Whoever did it, I'm probably the next target!”
"Ah, Ms. Kuriki is here! Come quick!" At that moment, staff members also ran over carrying a stretcher: "Now all four victims have been found."
"Wait, four victims?" Dou Yu was stunned. "Wasn't I perfectly fine here?"
"Huh? Mr. Touyu, is there something wrong?" The staff member was taken aback by the question: "Besides Kuriki and Sapiel, Panamanian boxing champion Rabe Geran, who is scheduled to fight in the next match, and his coach have been knocked down by a mysterious figure. We've come to take them to the hospital."
...How embarrassing! Dou Yu's deduction was immediately overturned.
"In short, this kind of indiscriminate attack targeting fighters means you're also in danger, Uncle." Seeing Dou Yu's face turn red and purple, Hua Yin quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Douyu looked embarrassed, but a wrestler can't back down when faced with a girl's sincere eyes!
"Alright, alright! Now's not the time to think about that. Since Panama's boxing champion Rabe is also seriously injured, and two of our substitutes are missing and two are injured, then naturally I need to step in! Now I'm going to the arena to fight, so you cheer me on!"
"Mmm!" That was all Hanon could say. She was too embarrassed to tell Touyu that she was also a substitute player, otherwise this older man would fall into self-doubt, thinking, "I'm not actually that important..."
So Hanon accompanied Touyu toward the entrance passage, but when they arrived, they found that the match had already begun.
"Ahem, an unexpected situation, an unexpected situation." Tokugawa Mitsunari's voice came over the loudspeaker: "I just learned that the last alternate has arrived successfully! And judging from the looks of it, it ran straight onto the ring, its fighting spirit is amazing~"
"Awoooooo—" The roar of a wild beast filled the air as a giant monster, resembling an ancient ferocious beast, stood before Kato Kiyosumi, its imposing presence leaving everyone speechless.
Well, excluding Taishan Douyu, even though Kanon was very careful not to discourage him, the uncle still inevitably fell into self-doubt.
"Waaah, I wasn't important at all after all..."
Author's Note: The fourth update will still be at 23 PM.
Dou Yu has unknowingly been portrayed as a tragic middle-aged man... But who knows if he can turn the tables later?
Chapter 498, Section 504: Great Destruction! Yasha-zaru II
"What's that?"
"Dinosaurs?"
"No, it's a gorilla."
"My God! That's terrifying!"
The audience was amazed by the "beast" that rushed onto the field, and the fighters were just as surprised.
This "monster" also had limbs and facial features, but it didn't look human at all. It was more like a gorilla or ape, with an extremely strong physique. Its height was about the same as the giant Andes, but its body was much thicker. Beneath its thick fur were bulging muscles. Clearly, the "monster" was not only frightening in appearance, but its fighting power was absolutely commensurate with its appearance.
"Kato!" Tokugawa Mitsunari first stopped his staff from entering the arena to deal with the giant ape, then shouted to Kato Kiyosumi, "Your original opponent has been defeated by it! Now it is your opponent. Try to kill this Yasha ape!"
Kato was still stunned: "Ah, even if you say that, sir..."
"Hey, Baki defeated it four years ago!" Tokugawa added fuel to the fire. I didn't know Tokugawa well in the past, but now I think this old man is really despicable. Listen to his words, which are meant to provoke a fight. Is he even human?
"What!" Kato, clearly a strong competitor to Baki, blushed immediately upon hearing this: "Alright, take this!"
Kato leaped into the air, his flying kick incredibly powerful, striking Yasha-zaru squarely in the chin.
Then, in a flash, someone ran past them at incredible speed, bursting out of the entrance passage and shouting, "No!"
That was Baki.
It seems that Baki has a deep bond with this Yasha-monkey?
Unfortunately, his shouts did not reach the arena in time, and Kato's attack still hit Yasha-sama. Moreover, it wasn't just one kick, not two kicks, not three kicks... He landed a full seven or eight punches and kicks before temporarily stopping.
These attacks were very heavy... but to no avail.
No, it did have some effect. Yasha-ape sat cross-legged on the ground and yawned, "Ha—". Kato's punches and kicks were just a sleep aid for it.
"You, you beast, how dare you sleep in front of me..." Kato was furious. This was the greatest insult to a martial artist, even more unacceptable than defeat.
Kato then launched another attack on Yasha-sama, but his attack was still ineffective.
Instead, Yasha-zaru was drawn to Baki, who had run to the sidelines.
"Yes! I'm here!" Baki shouted. "Your father was killed by my father. If you want revenge, come at me!"
"Awooo—" Yasha Ape roared in response, reaching out to grab Kato Kiyosumi by the collar—this beast's fighting style was all about brute force, stretching out its arm without caring how many attacks Kato had suffered along the way.
"Roar!" With another roar, Yasha-zaru hurled Kato at Baki like a cannonball.
Baki grabbed Kato, and the two of them were pushed backward by the enormous force, all the way into the depths of the entrance passage, almost crashing into the corridor wall.
After the force dissipated, Kato leaped to his feet: "Damn it, come on, you beast!"
“Kato-kun.” Baki patted Kato on the shoulder and shook his head: “You can’t do it. Leave it to me.”
"What did you say?" Kato roared in anger. Baki's attitude was just like Yasha-monkey's—an insult to warriors! Enraged, Kato kicked Baki in the face—but Baki didn't even flinch.
As expected, Kato's attack couldn't hurt Yasha-monkey, so naturally it couldn't hurt Baki, who had defeated Yasha-monkey four years ago... But judging from Baki's previous words, it seems that the Yasha-monkey he knew four years ago was his father tonight?
Kato was about to fight again when Yashamonon II charged over. It didn't care about rules or anything like that; it was driven by wild instincts. Seeing its enemy Baki, it just went for it. Ooooooo—cough cough, I'm getting carried away.
"Well done!" Kato once again faced the Yasha Monkey's charge head-on. This time, he calmed down and prepared to unleash his killing move.
There's really nothing mysterious about it. As a former prodigal son who left the Shinshinkai and roamed the underworld, Kato Kiyosumi learned many of the secrets of street fighting among thugs. Gouging out eyes, kicking groin, and striking vital points are all things he can do when his killing intent rises.
"Kato-nii, no!" Baki cried out as he saw Kato's killing intent. Sure enough, Kato, who was particularly concerned about Baki, slowed down and his attack went astray. His fingers, which were originally aimed at Yasha Ape's eyes, only hit his forehead. Then, Yasha Ape punched him in the head and smashed it open.
"Pfft—" Without Baki to catch him this time, Kato finally crashed into the wall. Before he passed out, he only left one sentence: "Baki...you bastard...you suddenly yelled...my attack went astray."
"Ah... I'm sorry, Kato-nii..." Baki felt deeply apologetic, but his guilt towards Yasha-zaru was ultimately greater than that towards Kato: "Yasha-zaru... Niji, your father died because of me, I will not run away, fight me if you want."
"Awooo! Awooo!" The Yasha Ape didn't understand much, but the presence of Baki made this beast instinctively disgusted. Its huge muscles bulged and it slammed into Baki's face! This was different from Kato's attack. Even someone as strong as Baki was knocked unconscious.
"Bang bang bang bang!" In an instant, Baki was hit by four punches in a row. He was sent flying by Yasha-en, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
But Yasha-zaru's killing intent did not stop; it continued its pursuit even after Baki fell.
However, a new figure blocked the way between Yasha-onna and Baki.
Yasha Ape was puzzled. The new human in front of him seemed to be female? She wasn't considered tall or strong among humans, and was even a bit thin, so why did she dare to stand in front of him and prevent him from killing his enemy?
What's even stranger is that its animal instincts are telling it to run away.
The opponent... is extremely strong? This feeling is even stronger than that of his enemy, that short but strong male human!
Just now, Yasha-ape could overcome its fear of Baki with its vengeful killing intent, but now, facing a powerful enemy like Kanon, with whom it has no mortal grudge, it hesitated.
"Ah, Miss Ye..." Baki's face was covered in blood. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he still needed some time to catch his breath. Seeing that Hanon was about to make a move in front of him, he quickly stopped her, saying, "It's not evil. Please don't kill it."
"Hey, hey," Hanon said, clearly annoyed. "Shouldn't you be worried about me, a girl?"
"And besides, if I don't stop it, are you really sure you won't get beaten to death?"
Baki fell silent. Four years ago, he had fought a fierce battle with Yashamonon II's father, forming a deep bond that was both adversary and friend. However, Baki's father, Yujiro Hanma, had killed Yashamonon, a blow that deeply affected Baki and a lifelong regret. Therefore, he felt guilty towards Yashamonon II, who harbored vengeful intentions, and he did not want him to die because of him again.
"Don't worry." Seeing Baki's troubled expression, Kanon stopped insisting and softened her tone: "If you keep taking hits, the only result will be death. It won't stop on its own! As for whether to kill this beast... don't worry, I'm actually a non-killing person."
Hanon stretched her arms and legs: "I didn't expect my first attack tonight wouldn't be against humans~ Brother Ape, take this!"
Author's Note: Four chapters for today, more to come tomorrow.
Section 505, Chapter 499: Senior Brother, you'd better behave yourself!
"Awooo—" With a fierce roar, the second-generation Yasha Ape's vengeful instincts finally transcended primal fear, and it began to charge towards Kanon.
