"But in the end, the exposed flaws only have the potential to attract the enemy to attack, and cannot guarantee success. As a martial artist, such risks are necessary but also unavoidable... Kiryu Setsuna, who made Kanon take such risks, is also a remarkable guy! Unfortunately, he has lost too much blood and cannot hold on for long. The battle is about to end."
On the battlefield, Hana breathed a sigh of relief. She admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but she won the gamble.
If the finger razor hits, it does indeed have the ability to kill instantly or turn the tide of battle. In this instant, the bleeding continues unabated, and the outcome of the battle has already been largely decided.
"Hey, are we still going to fight?" Hana asked in a rough voice, pretending to be a man. "If you keep going, your life will be in danger."
There was no reply from the start. A strange smile appeared on his face as he resolutely charged forward, launching a new attack on Hanon.
"Could it be... that you don't want to be human anymore?" The opponent's expression was too ferocious, and Hanon was a little frightened, so she chose to go on the defensive and returned to a defensive posture.
As for Setsuna, this wave of attacks was his last act of madness, so he naturally had to do everything in his power, even completely merging the Fox Shadow Style and the Two Tiger Style into one, resulting in a breakthrough effect in the face of battle.
Rakshasa Palm & Water Swallow – A Tiger-Fox Alliance!
Needless to say, the Rakshasa Palm technique is superior. The Water Swallow technique, on the other hand, involves releasing the fist and using the arm to fly like a whip, a high-level move whose attack trajectory is vague and scattered, making it difficult for the opponent to predict the attack route. At this moment, the Water Swallow's trajectory is already filled with the force of the Rakshasa Palm. This is what is meant by "the bond between tiger and fox," forming an encirclement that wraps Hua Yin in the center.
This move looks powerful, but in reality... it's also very dangerous. However, Kanon quickly saw through Setsuna's weakness.
"Although the Rakshasa Palm is powerful, its method of exertion is traceable. If the distance is too close, the forearm cannot rotate fully, and the killing power will be halved."
Martial arts is about observation. A true master doesn't necessarily need earth-shattering killing moves, but he must have extraordinary insight. Hanon has already acquired this quality.
Facing the seemingly impenetrable barrage of fire from the Tiger and Fox Alliance, Kanon strode forward and directly confronted Setsuna's true form, launching an attack.
Since it's difficult to defend, let's just take the offensive instead of the defensive.
Despite his severe injuries, he remained in "Demon Subduing" mode, his reflexes unparalleled. He saw Hanon's attack and reached out to block it, but he discovered that Hanon's attack would change direction without warning?
Kanon's first punch was barely blocked by Setsuna, and the second punch was also blocked in time. However, as the third, fourth, and fifth punches came one after another, the timing of Kanon's punches became more and more tricky, and the difficulty of Setsuna's blocking also increased. His superhuman reaction speed allowed him to see every change in Kanon's punches, but the limitations of his body made it impossible for him to keep up with Kanon's movements.
This is Kanon's divine skill: Disorder.
With each punch, Kanon tested Setsuna's speed limits. Finally, on the sixth punch, she broke through the critical point. After Kanon changed her punching style, Setsuna no longer had time to make an effective block.
"Bang! Hanon's heavy punch landed on Setsuna's shoulder, and Setsuna's left shoulder was immediately dislocated. The outcome was decided!"
Is the outcome already decided?
If the fight continued, Setsuna would have been doomed to lose, but in that split second after being hit, Setsuna actually managed to find a chance to survive.
As he unleashed his sixth punch, "Disorder," he instantly realized he couldn't stop the attack. So he took the initiative to meet Hanon's attack, sacrificing his left arm and using his right arm to unleash the strongest Rakshasa Palm attack since the start of the battle.
The two were extremely close, and the Rakshasa Palm should have been half as powerful. However, in an instant, it broke through its limit again and developed a new type of Rakshasa Palm that could be used with the fingertips in a desperate situation.
The new Rakshasa Palm, with its overwhelming power, suddenly attacked Hanon's neck!
Author's Note: The next chapter will conclude this battle.
Section 127, Chapter 125: The Endgame, the Mighty Flavor
"Madman!" Yu Leiling spat.
"Heretical and evil!" Even the boxing champion, Gaolang Unsavado, expressed his disdain for Setsuna.
It was clear that Kiryu Setsuna had already decided on the principle of "you take my hand, I take your life," and took the initiative to meet Flavor Sander's heavy punch, sacrificing his arm dislocation or even fracture in exchange for an opportunity to strike the enemy's vitals.
That being said, this behavior, though fierce, is truly the only chance of victory in that fleeting moment.
This crazy guy is willing to gamble his life and death on a chance; he does have some of the awareness of a martial artist seeking the Dao. Unfortunately, a chance is just a chance, and there is no guarantee that it can be realized.
The Rakshasa Palm strike came from the fingertips, but only pierced Huayin's trapezius muscle, which was taut and indestructible!
There was no need for anticipation or defense. The reason why Setsuna's attack didn't hit her neck was that the moment her fist struck Setsuna's shoulder, Kanon didn't stop her attack but instead launched a follow-up headbutt.
Kanon would try to persuade her opponent to admit defeat during a standoff, but in the heat of battle, Kanon never lacked a "Zanshin" combo to finish off her opponent!
"Thump!" The dull thud of skulls hitting skulls echoed throughout the arena, sending chills down the spines of the audience who heard it. They couldn't imagine how much power Kanon's headbutt had.
Ren Nikaido felt a chill run down his spine. As someone who had personally experienced Kanon's headbutt, he couldn't help but feel immense sympathy for Setsuna.
He staggered backward the instant he was hit by the headbutt, his body beginning to sway erratically.
Strike while the iron is hot. Before Kanon's attack could stop, she swept a leg across Setsuna's inside knee. The huge impact caused Setsuna to lose his balance completely, and what followed was the finishing punch.
"Ah, is that so..." In a daze, he seemed to see a "god": "Is this the trial you have given me, Tokita Ohma?"
"Then I'll show you how to surpass it!"
A heavy punch landed on his chest, and he flew backward, spitting blood, and crashed to the ground, lifeless.
Blood gushed from Setsuna's mouth, ribs, and countless small wounds all over his body, quickly staining the ground red.
Referee Yamamoto ran over to check the injury, glanced at it briefly, and then loudly announced the outcome.
"The match is over! The winner is Vladivostok Sander!"
Then referee Yamamoto urged, "Quickly, get a stretcher and take Kiryu to the infirmary! His life is in danger!"
"Kiryu!" In the stands, the chairperson of the board of directors of the Imperial Sakura Academy, Soryuin Shion, suddenly stood up. Their strongest fighter in history, Setsuna, had actually been defeated in the first round, and in a life-threatening defeat at that. This result was truly unexpected...
Sigh, there's no need to think about the outcome now. After all, Shion is a good boss. She hurriedly led her secretary, Matsuda, down from the stands to visit Setsuna.
"It shouldn't be life-threatening..." Hanon recalled briefly. She clearly remembered that just now, Kiryu Setsuna had struck himself with the Rakshasa Palm. Although it seemed like a crazy and nonsensical act, Hanon, who also mastered the Rakshasa Palm, could guess that he was using the power of the Rakshasa Palm to force open his internal organs and reduce the impact of his heavy punch on his internal organs. Although the injury was not serious, he at least escaped death.
"Phew, you should be glad my fist didn't hit your head," Hana sighed. "After all, I'm not some kind of demon."
Watching Setsuna being carried off the field, Kanon turned and walked back to the contestants' tunnel.
"Kanon!" Miho and Adam had already run downstairs, and Miho threw herself into Kanon's arms: "You scared me to death."
Patting Miho's head, Kanon comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
This is not a lie. Kiryu Setsuna caused Kanon some trouble, but overall she was still unharmed.
Throughout the match, Setsuna's only effective attack on Kanon was when he first used the Rakshasa Kick, which probably chafed one of Kanon's ribs! The other minor wounds were mostly sprains and abrasions caused by the powerful rotational force of the Rakshasa Palm, which were either insignificant or rapidly healing under the influence of Kanon's muscle rhythm.
"So Kiryu Setsuna was defeated in the first round?" Tokita Ohma felt a sense of absurdity. His so-called "arch-rival" was such a pathetic person.
"No, it's not that Kiryu is weak, it's that Flavor is too strong!"
"Flavor Sander, what a troublesome fellow. It seems there are 'monsters' in the First Division as well." Most of the companies and fighters had noticed Kanon's strength. These words were spoken by Furuhachi Furuhachi, president of Furuhachi Pharmaceuticals, to Wakatsuki Samurai.
“They are indeed a formidable opponent, but we don’t need to worry about the upper half of the bracket. We just need to play each match well…” Wakatsuki is a very steady and strong player, and even if he had to choose a target, he wasn’t very interested in Kanon: “Besides, if everything goes smoothly, challenging Kiba in the semifinals is the most important thing.”
Another business owner, Katsumasa Hayami of Toyo Electric Power, sneered: "Hmph, he is indeed a master. Nikaido's loss is not unjust. However, whether it's Flavor or Suoh Steel, they are just entertainment that has nothing to do with the big picture."
Hayami glanced at the chairman's VIP room: "As for the video, just enjoy the moment!"
As for the VIP room, Pianyuan Miedang was indeed very happy: "A powerful new fighter, truly, new talents emerge in every generation."
Unfortunately, his old friend, the old patriarch of the Wu clan, Wu Huiliyang, was not in the mood to pay attention to the film source at this time. Instead, he looked at his beloved great-granddaughter, Wu Jialouluo, with a lovestruck expression as he watched "Flavor Sander" leave the stage.
"He truly is the man I chose!" Garuda's unusual girlish heart completely exploded: "I'm going to find him right now and have his babies!"
"Damn bastard!" Old Master Wu was about to explode with anger: "If you weren't in the upper half of the bracket, I would have beaten Lei An to death!"
The last person who was shocked by Kanon's performance was Mirai Zero from Golden Entertainment.
"It seems that Flavor was hiding a lot of things during our last encounter," Yu Lei sighed.
“Zero…” Rino didn’t know what to say. With her extensive knowledge, she naturally knew that Flavor was a formidable opponent and that Mikazuki was indeed at a disadvantage.
“But speed is still my advantage.” Yu Lei stood up: “Anyway, let’s break through the first round first.”
The first match had ended, and the aftermath consisted of club presidents visiting the injured and onlookers discussing the strength of the fighters. Amidst this commotion, Katahara Shoka once again stepped onto the stage to introduce the contestants for the second match.
"What a fantastic start! Now, let's move on to the second match..."
Section 128, Chapter 126: Love at the Corner
"Ahem." Sheath Fragrance cleared her throat and began to introduce the two teams facing off in the second match.
"First up is Yu Lei from Golden Entertainment... Huh?"
Before she could finish speaking, Sheath Fragrance was surprised to find someone else beside her—it was Yu Lei.
"Really!" She Xiang was unusually a little annoyed: "This won't do! She appeared before the introductions!"
After being scolded by the beautiful woman, Yu Lei was also helpless: "Oh, well... I'm sorry..."
"Zero!" Rino cheered for her lover from the stands, "Be careful not to get hurt~"
"Mmm~" Yu Lei also blushed and waved in response, leaving everyone speechless at their public display of affection.
"Ugh, they're just being so perfunctory with me..." Even Sheatha felt exhausted, but as the host of the competition, she dutifully continued the introduction: "Alright, let's reintroduce Contestant Yu Lei!"
"He is the current head of the legendary assassination style, Raishin-ryu, a martial arts master shrouded in mystery, who has transformed into the Thunder God and resides in darkness. He is 179 cm tall, weighs 77 kg, has a record of 1 win and 0 losses in Kengan matches, his company has assets of 1.2114 billion yen, and he is the representative fighter of Golden Entertainment, 'Thunder God' Mirai Zero!"
Mikazuki's appearance is also outstanding, and many female viewers praised him, saying, "He's so handsome! The moment he stepped onto the stage, I realized that the Kengan matches are all so visually appealing!"
His imposing and dignified demeanor also made the fighters and knowledgeable business owners present wary: "This man seems very strong."
Of course, some people don't buy it.
"Hehehe, trash, trash, all of them were slaughtered by me." Wu Lei'an of the Wu clan did not watch the match seriously, but just wandered around. He missed the first match, the battle between Hanon and Setsuna, and just happened to wander to the sidelines and caught up with Yu Lei's match. He was obviously quite disdainful of "Leishin-ryu".
Wu Lei'an started watching the competition, while another member of the Wu clan went somewhere else.
Garuda skipped and hopped out of the VIP room, heading down to find its "lover".
"Flavor, Flavor~ You're really strong, we have to be together~ Ee-ee—"
The overjoyed Garuda was so excited that it didn't notice the person coming around the corner and bumped into them, falling to the ground.
"Oh dear, are you alright?" But upon realizing that the person she bumped into was a girl, Garuda's first reaction was to care about her. She was a very powerful warrior, and the impact had even knocked her over, so the other person might be seriously injured!
