Section 614, Chapter 607: The Scent of Blood on You

Upon crashing through the deck and leaping back onto the deck, Spek immediately assumed a punching stance. His tall frame resembled that of Immovable King, his fierce gaze fixed on Hana's head as he delivered an extremely heavy blow.

"Bang!" It hit.

The one who got punched was Sbek.

He was stunned: "W-what happened?" Yes, he was the one who threw the punch, but in the blink of an eye, Hana seemed to have moved two inches out of thin air and appeared in the position next to him. Not only did Spek's attack miss, but he also got punched in the face... No, because he didn't see Hana's attack, Spek didn't even know whether he was punched or kicked.

Shock mixed with confusion, followed by fear, and as fear rises rapidly, it often turns into rage.

Almost at the same moment he was stunned, Spek's expression twisted to the extreme, and he raised his other hand and punched Hana.

"Oh!"

The result was the same...

After being struck twice in the face, Spek's nose was knocked crooked and bleeding profusely.

But this time, Spek dared not attack fiercely again; fear had taken over, driving him to leap backward.

However, no sooner had he landed than the bikini-clad girl reappeared in front of him, her head still facing him, and Spek was punched in the side ribs again, breaking two ribs. The intense pain made him bend over.

Only now did Spek realize that his opponent possessed a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

Hanon turned her head to face Spek, who was bent over in pain, so they were at eye level. Hanon asked, "Are you still going to fight, Uncle Spek? Have you achieved the defeat you sought?"

"Hehe, hahahaha..." Spek laughed wildly. Indeed, the difference in strength between the two sides seemed enormous. This girl's inexplicable speed alone was something Spek couldn't handle. Now that his ribs were broken and he was unable to move easily, he would be taken down in less than three moves if the fight continued. The so-called "defeat" didn't seem like such an unimaginable thing.

But Spek continued to laugh, mocking the girl's recklessness and naivety: "Is this Eastern martial arts? It's indeed as powerful as sorcery, truly formidable. But in the end… she's just a martial artist after all."

Hanon's pupils constricted sharply. She was a martial artist with "residual spirit," which didn't mean crippling or killing her opponent in one fell swoop, but rather maintaining constant vigilance even while questioning. Hanon instantly noticed Speck's actions—he had somehow produced a pistol!

Just like what Huayin said to Guo Haihuang when she was "seeking the Way through her heart", the pursuit of a martial artist should be to push the human body's functions to the highest level. While a martial artist can easily defeat others, the most effective way to defeat a person is always with a gun.

Times have changed, adults.

"You actually stopped to care about the outcome, didn't realize this was a murder game? You really don't smell of blood~" Before firing, Spek winked at Hanon in a flirtatious way, but he pulled the trigger quickly, firing the pistol at Hanon at close range—"Bang!"

Hua Yin retreated hastily. After successfully hitting her with one shot, Speck fired several more, creating a cacophony of gunfire that startled the City Hunter team waiting for Hua Yin on the speedboat below: "There sounded like gunfire. Could it be that the Sea God still has remnants?"

But as A-Liao and his men dragged their wounded bodies aboard to check on the situation, the gunfire stopped.

On the deck at that moment, Spek finally saw through the secret of Hanon's incredible speed.

This girl was already incredibly fast, and with some unknown technique, she could even change direction twice while speeding, gaining even more speed. The girl kept changing her sprinting direction over a short distance, and even with Scout's sharp eyesight, he couldn't keep up with her movements. His pistol ammo was also limited, and he emptied his supply in an instant.

Then Spek realized something was wrong.

The girl, who had been relatively peaceful just moments before and without any smell of blood, now unmistakably smelled of blood—her own blood! Spek only managed to hit her target with his first, unexpected close-range shot; all subsequent shots missed… but he had at least managed to hit her.

However, the effect was limited.

Because Kanon was only wearing a bikini and a life jacket, Speck could clearly see that Kanon had blocked the bullet with her bare arm. This is actually quite common, and the result is often that the bullet exits through the arm or becomes embedded in the bone. The former requires stopping the bleeding, while the latter requires surgery to remove the bullet, but in either case, it will cause great trauma to the arm.

What Spek saw was that the bullet hadn't completely penetrated Hanon's muscle; only the front part squeezed in a little, causing some impact and burning. Once Hanon stopped moving, the bullet fell to the ground with a "ding".

Spek gasped, "Hey, are you even human? You're not some kind of bio-weapon, are you?"

Hanon was certainly not a biological weapon. The moment she saw Spek raise his gun, she began to retreat. After the second acceleration of "Unparalleled Illusion", her speed was superb. Combined with the strengths of "Lightning" and "Power Dissipation" and "Indestructible Vajra", she solved the problem of the bullet's impact and penetration. So, even though she was shot, she only suffered minor flesh wounds.

The injuries weren't serious, but what weighed heavily on Kanon's mind was her mood.

"My arm... has only just healed..."

Enraged, Hana's voice swelled with murderous intent—though she didn't actually intend to kill, her aggressive aura was enough to terrify Spek: "Have I unleashed something extraordinary?"

Hanon activated her "Unbounded Transformation," which allowed her to change direction and accelerate twice in a straight line. After accelerating, Hanon's speed was very close to that of Mikage Zero under the "Queen Bee" buff.

That's a speed that exceeds the limits of the naked eye.

Before Sibek could even finish thinking about the word "terrible," he was punched hard in the face by Hana and sent flying.

He immediately lost consciousness.

But Kanon's offensive hadn't stopped. After pausing to catch her breath, she strode toward Spek. This time, she didn't stop to ask who had won—the outcome was already decided. Kanon wasn't one to stand by and watch someone die, but before dragging Spek off the ship and handing him over to the police, this dangerous guy needed his limbs broken, his jaw dislocated, and his mobility completely eliminated.

"Boom!"

The fight between Hanon and Spek lasted only two or three minutes, so nothing much happened during that time. However, don't forget, they were on a cruise ship that had been damaged by a self-destruct bomb and was about to sink! Coincidentally, another chain explosion occurred at that moment.

The explosion was likely caused by a fire that reached the fuel tank. The force was tremendous. The entire ship first shook violently, then began to list significantly. A small section of the stern had already broken off, and now the ship broke off in the middle and at the bow at the same time. The entire cruise ship was split into four parts, all of which are sinking into the sea.

"Damn it!" Hana finally managed to steady herself, and when she looked up, she saw Spek smiling at her.

It turned out that the tremor had helped; the unconscious Spek had actually woken up and even threw something over while Hanon was regaining her balance.

A hand grenade.

Author's Note: There will be two more chapters tonight!

Section 615, Chapter 608: Welcome to Tokyo

The grenade rolled over, the firing pin was already pulled, and then it exploded.

In that instant, Hanon activated "Unpredictable Transformation" again and retreated rapidly.

The combination of "Unpredictable Transformation" and "Lightning" provides excellent defense. Neither pistol shots nor shrapnel from grenade explosions could cause much damage to Kanon; they only fueled her anger.

Spek blinked. Before he closed his eyes, he saw the grenade being thrown and Hanon retreating. When he closed his eyes again, he heard the explosion and felt the shockwave. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Hanon's fist being thrust in front of him.

"Is this what a martial artist is like?" Another heavy punch landed on Spek's face, sending him flying once more. "So strong!"

But this time he did not lose consciousness. Hana clearly saw that in the smoke of the cruise ship explosion, Spek landed, rolled twice, and picked up two submachine guns.

"WC—" Hana even shouted out a vulgar curse.

However, she had no other choice but to activate "Unpredictable Transformation" and dodge to the side with all her might—in short, escape.

The cruise ship's deck was littered with members of the Sea God Mercenary Group, and various firearms were scattered everywhere. For a madman like Speck, who neither resisted killing nor the use of firearms, it was the perfect battlefield. Hanon, however, was in trouble. In both her lives, she had been an upright and honest child. Even if she tried to emulate Speck by picking up guns and fighting, let alone overcoming her psychological barrier to killing, she wouldn't even know how to pull the safety!

Fortunately, Spek's marksmanship wasn't particularly accurate; at best, he could fire two submachine guns simultaneously, covering a wider area, and he knew how to anticipate and block Hanon's escape route. However, Hanon was also incredibly skilled. Not only did she control her escape speed, varying the frequency to make it difficult for Spek to track her movements, but she also kept her eyes fixed on Spek, anticipating his firing actions.

In the blink of an eye, there was a "click-click" sound, and the magazine of the submachine gun in Spek's hand was empty. With one of the double threats gone, the pressure on Hanon was greatly reduced. Seizing the opportunity, she jumped behind a cover.

"Fvuk!" American Speck also swore, threw away his empty gun, picked up two submachine guns from the ground, and began to slowly advance towards the cover.

This bikini-clad girl is incredibly powerful. Even Spek didn't expect that he would encounter such a terrifyingly strong person before even reaching the shore after smuggling himself to Tokyo by boat! He had already been punched several times and was covered in blood. Now, he was approaching the cover slowly and carefully, afraid of revealing any weakness and being instantly knocked down by that girl.

On the bright side, though, the two will inevitably face each other at close range when they meet again. With the rate of fire and power of the two submachine guns, Spek doesn't believe that the girl can withstand it.

"We're here!" While his marksmanship was poor, his hand-to-hand combat skills were exceptional. He had already sensed the girl's murderous intent and knew this was the decisive moment: "Die, you brat!"

Spek leaped, quickly sidestepped, and faced the person behind cover, simultaneously opening fire with both pistols, "rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."

A second later, the gunfire stopped abruptly. Spek's originally narrow, willow-leaf-shaped eyes were now wide open and round—what was going on? There was nothing in front of him?

Speck had been focused on locking onto cover, confirming that Hanon hadn't rushed out and couldn't escape even with wings! Since there was nothing to the left, right, or above…

"Below!" Sure enough, Spek saw a hole, not very big, but big enough for a slender girl to pass through.

"She jumped? But I clearly sensed murderous intent here just now!"

The answer is... "Oh no! I've been misled!" Spek panicked. He had used this trick when he first met Huayin, but Huayin saw through it and dodged it. However, less than five minutes later, Huayin used it on him instead. This time, Spek didn't see through it.

"Bang!" The deck beneath Spek's feet broke open. The familiar formula, the familiar smell, only this time it was Kanon cosplaying Freddy from below. She grabbed Spek's ankle and pulled him down forcefully—Spek instantly sank, even making intimate contact with the deck with his crotch. A unique Aruba, he smashed through the deck with his lower body and fell into the cabin.

Many parts of the ship's cabin are now engulfed in flames; falling in would be extremely dangerous.

Hana listened intently and said, "Hey, still no thud when it hits the ground. This guy is really stubborn!"

Spek was indeed impressive. Several times, he was knocked off the deck by Hanon, but he managed to climb back up onto something like a steel pipe in mid-air. After all, the area beneath the deck of a cruise ship is incredibly diverse, including guest rooms, a bunch of steel pipes and wires, or a continuous pipe network. There are countless places to use for leverage.

So Spek quickly returned to the deck. As he jumped up, he deliberately turned his whole body to protect his vitals, fearing that the bikini-clad girl might take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. However, when he saw the situation on the deck, he only saw the back of his opponent by the railing.

Before going into the sea, the girl turned and smiled at Spek, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing her stunning beauty. However, as beautiful as she was, there was a hint of disdain and mockery in her expression.

"Were we looked down upon?" Speck was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. He picked up a gun from the ground and was about to fire, but the girl had already disappeared, and a new explosion occurred on the cruise ship.

Hanon didn't linger, partly because the deck was full of guns, which was too dangerous; and partly because the cruise ship was about to give way and sink completely into the sea.

Not only Kanon, but if Spek didn't want to perish with the cruise ship, he would also have no choice but to jump into the sea to escape.

Besides, he was determined to chase after that wretched bikini-clad girl!

When Speck jumped into the sea, Kanon had already climbed onto the City Hunter's speedboat. Ryo Saeba and the others had been worried about Kanon for a long time, and finally waited for her: "What happened just now? Why were there gunshots? Are they the remnants of the Sea God? Ah, Kanon, you're injured!"

"I'm fine now. We'll talk about the details later. Let's go."

"You bitch, don't even think about running away!" Spek roared. He was an excellent swimmer and, without even entering the water, he noticed two speedboats on the sea. The bikini-clad girl had gone to the one with people on it, while the other one was empty—it was the speedboat from Nami Island that Kanon had come to check the situation.

Spek quickly climbed onto the empty speedboat, throwing a submachine gun on it as well. What followed was a chase on the sea and a gunfight.

No! Although Kanon had absolute confidence in Saeba Ryo's marksmanship—if it came down to gunfire alone, Spek would definitely be riddled with bullets—Kanon wasn't one to rely on others. Spek had just made her flee in a sorry state; it wouldn't be polite not to retaliate…

"Hey! Uncle Spek!" Hana shouted to Spek, "Here's a parting gift for you!" and threw something over.

A hand grenade, the same one that Spek had just thrown at her.

"Fuc—" "Boom!"

The speedboat exploded.

Kanon saw that Speck had jumped off the ship at the last moment and wasn't directly hit by the grenade, but the shockwave and shrapnel would still have caused him serious injuries. Without transportation, he would have no choice but to swim all the way to Tokyo.

"Welcome to Tokyo~" Kanon said, signaling the boat to set sail.
