It was definitely not Wumu who made the move; he was far from having that kind of speed. To be honest, when Kanon started charging, there was no one around. The closest person could only start from the corner where Wumu appeared and then instantly block between Kanon and Wumu. Such speed is extremely rare, even among fighters.

Hanon can do it, Mikuri Zero can do it, Wu Lei'an who has opened the Liberation, and Tokita Ohma who has opened the Pre-borrowed can probably do it too. If there is anyone else who can do it, it can only be "Arabian Cyclone" Hasad.

The result was indeed that of Hassad.

"Hassad? How did he get together with Wumu?" Hanon was taken aback. Her charge was blocked and pushed midway by Hasad, changing its direction and missing Wumu. Meanwhile, Wumu had already dealt with President Yumeno, knocking him unconscious with a slap.

Alright, Kanon sighed and re-established her stance. Was she going to fight two against one? It didn't matter. Kanon had seen both Hassad and Wumu fight, and she was confident she could handle it. Although it would be a bit troublesome, one-on-one and one-on-many were completely different fields. Hassad's speed and Wumu's dirty tricks were quite complementary. The difficulty was more than doubled; it might be three or four times more difficult than a one-on-one fight.

Saddam... cough cough, it was Kanon who was ready for battle, but Hasad and Wumu had no intention of fighting her. Wumu threw the unconscious President Yumeno to Hasad: "You run fast, take him back to the camp, I'll hold off Flavo."

The two seemed like old friends, working together with great chemistry. Hasad took President Yumeno from him, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and turned to run. He was incredibly fast and strong, carrying a grown man at the same speed, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye. Hanon, who wanted to chase after him, was stopped by Wumu.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," a few more marbles were fired, and Hanon's momentum faltered. She could only watch as Hassad disappeared from sight. Wumu's actions made Hanon increasingly irritable, and she could no longer suppress her anger: "You really want to stop me? Fine, watch out!"

Section 158, Chapter 156: The Pursuit

The Cosmic Phantom charges again! This time, however, Hassad won't be there to help.

"Thump!" Wu Mu didn't have that kind of speed, so he chose to use his hands to block Hua Yin's impact. His performance was not bad, at least he really blocked the impact. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed completely. His hands were immediately numb and lost feeling, and they hung limply at his sides.

"Is this...is this guy really human?" Even though he had anticipated "Flavor's" charge, the damage was still far beyond Wumu's imagination. After all, seeing it is one thing, but experiencing it firsthand is another.

"Damn it, it seems like we've gone a bit too far." Before Wumu could think any further, Hanon had already delivered another heavy blow.

With Kanon's attacks being so powerful, Wumu dared not take them head-on, nor did he dare to exchange blows with Kanon. All he could do was dodge.

But how long can that flash last? Hanon's speed is much faster than Wumu's!

Having dodged Kanon's first punch, Wumu couldn't avoid the second. Seeing the heavy punch coming at him, Wumu, the "sorcerer," was fortunate to have some ability to adapt. He took a deep breath and then exhaled a breath of "poison gas" towards Kanon.

"Disgusting!" The breath mixed with saliva was so disgusting that Hana quickly moved away.

After regaining her balance, Hanon was both surprised and angry, but also felt a little admiring. Wumu's hands were numb and his legs were not very agile, yet he still managed to think of such a disgusting method to save himself in such a desperate situation. That was quite remarkable.

Wumu, on the other hand, was extremely relieved: "Luckily, this guy is clean, unlike me who is so sloppy. Otherwise, if he punched me while I was spitting on him, I would be done for! But this is not a long-term solution. The difference in strength between us is too great. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

So when Kanon rushed back, Wumu put his arm, which had regained consciousness, into his pocket, touched a machine, and pressed a button.

"Buzz—" Hana's ears immediately stung: "Ah, it's that mosquito buzzing sound!"

This underhanded tactic was used by Wumu against Tokita Ohma, and now he's using it on Kanon.

At the time, Wang** was poisoned and temporarily blinded, and her hearing was also interfered with by the sound of mosquitoes. Her situation was critical. In the end, she relied on the "cocktail effect" after listening for a long time to distinguish Wumu's voice, and then used her ability to locate the sound to attack Wumu and win. At this time, Hanon's eyes were intact, so she did not need any "cocktail effect" to adapt to Wumu. She directly manipulated the muscles in her ears to block out her hearing. Her movements were only slightly hindered, and she was able to launch an attack again.

But when Hanon looked up, Wumu had already run far away, and was fleeing in the opposite direction from Hassad.

"Damn it, this uncle is utterly shameless!" Hanon has fought against many powerful opponents, but among the fighters, he is the only one as uncouth as Wumu. Even Wu Lei'an is not this shameless!

After quickly choosing between teaching Wumu a lesson and rescuing President Yumeno, Kanon stamped her foot and chased after Hassad: "Sigh, Wumu can be left to be beaten up later, but President Yumeno's situation is a matter of life and death... But we are good young people from an ancient civilization!"

Watching "Flavor Sander" instantly recover and chase after Hassad, Wumu's feelings were complicated: "It's terrifying. He was clearly disturbed by the mosquito sound, yet he recovered so quickly. And that terrifying strength and speed... Flavor's strength is probably comparable to the Fang of Metsudo, right? Luckily, he didn't come looking for trouble with me, otherwise I would have been beaten up today... I wonder if Hassad can escape his pursuit. I can only pray for my good friend."

Perhaps it was Wumu's prayers that worked, perhaps it was because Hasad was indeed too fast, or perhaps Kanon took the wrong path... In any case, Kanon was the type who was both skilled and daring, and she actually chased Hasad all the way to the outside of the arena in the direction he had fled, but she never saw Hasad's figure after chasing and searching all the way.

The terrain of Kengan Island resembles an inverted "V". The arena is located in the northern part of the island, with only a cliff further north, which is obviously not where Hassad would escape to. To the south are the sea and the port, and to the west is the hotel area where the Kengan Company is staying, neither of which are directions Hassad can escape to. His only possible destination is the "Destruction Forest" to the east.

So, even though she didn't see any trace of Hassad, Kanon ran into the forest.

Actually, this forest is not very large, and there are quite a few villas scattered inside. There are also many signs, so even if you can't find Hassad, Hanon doesn't need to worry about getting lost.

After wandering around for a while without finding any trace of Hassad, Kanon sighed, "Um, President Yumeno, it's not that I didn't try my best, it's just that the enemy is very cunning! Good luck to you..." Well, compared to President Yumeno, who had sided with TEPCO and harbored treacherous intentions, it was obviously more worthy of attention to Presidents Amiyo and Akano, who had close ties with Suoh Seitetsu. Kanon called Miho and explained the situation briefly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask the two club presidents to join us!" Miho was very obedient. Although she was still a little confused sometimes, she was very trustworthy in the general direction.

She also mentioned the two matches that had just ended to Kanon: "Hey, Kanon, the matches were really exciting! That Chiba actually imitated so many famous martial artists, including Okubo and Gaolang. It was really scary!"

"Fancy and flashy, all show and no substance!" Hana commented.

"That's right, Uncle Chujian said the same thing, but I think he was also startled when they first started fighting, hehe."

"Oh, that means he's quite cautious." Hanon nodded. "So, he won?"

“Yeah!” Mihono told Kanon, “Actually, the match only lasted 26 seconds. Chiba made a mistake by using Aikido, and he was immediately countered. Everyone says he used the wrong strategy. Uncle Hatsumi is probably the strongest Aikido master in the Kengan Association.”

"So his style is Aikido..." Thinking about it, this was the first time Kanon had learned about Hatsumi's style. She had always wanted to teach Hatsumi a lesson, but she hadn't even figured out the basic information. She felt a little ashamed.

"Next up is the duel between Dr. Ei and Yohei Bando. Dr. Ei has actually transformed his body into a weapon; long swords can extend from his hands, and his heels can generate explosions... Uncle Bando has also recovered; his joints can rotate freely, making him look like a giant python..."

Mentioning the match, Mihono became even more excited, rattling off a whole bunch of things, leaving Kanon completely bewildered: "Are you sure you're not talking about the X-Men? Extending longswords with both hands... that's ridiculous!"

However, Kanon was wrong. What happened next was even more absurd. During the final exchange, Hideaki's head was broken by Bando... and he didn't die. After his cervical vertebrae were put back in place, he actually came back to life... It's so ridiculous that only a superhuman could do something like this.

"Hey, Kanon, I heard from a rumor that Dr. Hide's sword is poisoned. Although Bando won the match, he was poisoned and is about to die. How scary."

"...How can I appreciate the brilliance of a lifetime of mistakes if I didn't watch two matches?" Hanon sighed. She had originally intended to go to the infirmary when she left, but ended up in the forest chasing after someone.

"Never mind, I'll be back soon. Hopefully I'll make it in time for the next match where Gaoran will play."

Unfortunately, Kanon's wish is unlikely to be fulfilled, because just as she was about to leave, she actually caught a glimpse of Hassad's figure...

Author's Note: Regarding Kuroki's comment that Kanon is comparable to Metsudou no Kiba, just take it with a grain of salt. After all, many people in the manga have said similar things, but only Kuroki's comment was accurate.

Section 159, Chapter 157: Kanon vs. the Guardian

Hassad was exhausted. He had been running for a long time with President Yumeno, but they still couldn't shake off Kanon's pursuit. Although "Flavor" was still a long way behind them, Hassad knew that he couldn't lie to himself; the distance between them was indeed constantly shrinking.

Alas, just when Kanon was about to give up the pursuit, she spotted Hassad's trail again! This feeling of a desperate comeback was almost comparable to a performance-enhancing drug, energizing Kanon and unleashing her full potential. Her speed was originally comparable to Hassad's, but one was full of energy while the other was exhausted, so the outcome of the race was obvious.

"What should I do? I can't outrun them, and fighting them would probably be disastrous..." Hassad felt he was in a desperate situation. He racked his brains and finally came up with a solution: "That's right, I remember that TEPCO people are providing support for infiltrators in various parts of the island, and there are several outposts in the forest..."

With hope in his heart, Hasad quickened his pace, chasing after Hanon as they entered a secluded spot in the forest.

Sure enough, there were people from Toyo Electric Power here. They were the Guardians, a team under Hayami's command that was said to be comparable to the Guardians under Kagami's Mokudo.

The guardians were all dressed in white suits. There were only two of them at the moment. Hassad saw them from afar and shouted, "Hey, I'm also a mercenary from East Electricity. Someone is chasing me. Please stop him and don't let him ruin the plan!"

The two guardians had no doubts. After all, if Hazard could find this agreed-upon secret location and immediately recognize the name of Tokyo Electric Power Company, he was clearly an insider of the Hayami Plan and highly credible. So the two let Hazard pass and, each armed, approached Kanon.

As soon as Huayin entered the small clearing, she encountered two beams of light. One slashed down from above, while the other rushed towards her at great speed and force. Even Huayin dared not take it head-on and had to stop her momentum and retreat.

It was a naginata and a kusarigama.

"Oh, Shi Wang, look, he dodged it..." The two guardians, both armed with weapons, were quite tall, which was standard for martial arts experts. Their expressions were also very cold. One of them looked like he hadn't slept well, his eyes half-open and listless. The other looked much more normal, but his words were quite eccentric.

"Yes, Moro, he dodged it... Was it because the centrifugal force wasn't strong enough, so his speed was too slow?"

As Hassad disappeared into the woods, and the two people in front of her were clearly his accomplices, employees of Toyo Electric Power, Hanon gasped: "It seems I'm getting deeper and deeper into some serious incident!"

Faced with the approaching Tokyo Electric Power Company lackeys, Hanon, with her unyielding spirit, was about to surrender. She immediately raised one hand and said, "Um... can I turn around and leave, as if nothing happened?"

Her response was an attack from a naginata and a kusarigama.

"Sigh, I knew it." Hanon retreated again. The attack from the two armed warriors was tough to deal with, but because of her speed advantage, Hanon still had plenty of room to dodge.

"I've already played several games today, I'm so tired!"

Even so, Kanon still prepared for battle—she could have chosen to turn and run, believing that the two guardians wouldn't be able to catch her, but the series of ridiculous actions by Wumu and Hazard were really infuriating. Kanon chased after them but got nothing, and she was also furious!

When the naginata and kusarigama attacked for the third time, Kanon stopped dodging and charged directly at the two guardians: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

Kanon dodged the kusarigama's flying slash and the naginata's upward thrust, using a cosmic phantom to collide with the naginata wielder, Moro. Moro missed his first strike and saw Kanon's attack coming, so he quickly blocked with his horizontal bar. With a "clang," Kanon's heavy fist slammed into the naginata's hilt, making Moro's arm go numb: "What great strength!" He was somewhat puzzled. How could his opponent, who was clearly small in stature, unleash such speed and power?

On the other side, the kusarigama user, Shiro, retrieved the kusarigama and then used one end of the iron ball to smash towards Hanon. The kusarigama is a weapon consisting of a scythe and an iron ball connected by an iron chain. The scythe is used for slashing, while the iron ball is a blunt weapon. Because of its greater inertia, the iron ball travels faster than the scythe. Fighting a skilled kusarigama user is like sparring with two weapon masters with different rhythms, which is extremely tricky.

Hanon almost fell victim to the attack. After all, she had been practicing martial arts for less than a year and had limited experience in hand-to-hand combat, let alone understanding the vast world of weapon combat! Halfway through the flight, Hanon realized that the iron ball was faster than the scythe. She quickly turned her head to dodge and barely avoided the attack. However, on the other side, Moro's naginata attacked with a push and a sweep.

Hanon narrowly dodged again, this time tearing her jacket and bandages! This was Hanon's first time fighting against skilled weapon users, and she was fighting two against one. So even though her strength, speed, and technique completely overwhelmed her opponents, her lack of experience made the battle extremely dangerous.

Hanon couldn't help but sigh. Master Kuroki placed "martial arts is perspective" as the first of the three essential elements of a martial artist. It was indeed a wise saying. Although it cannot be too absolute, experience is undoubtedly a necessity on the path to becoming a master of combat.

"I'm still far from good enough!" Hanon put away her underestimation of her opponent, focused her attention, and began to seriously deal with this battle.

At first, Hanon was at a disadvantage. Facing the skillful weapon attacks of the two, she fought cautiously and could only dodge awkwardly in many situations. However, as the battle progressed, Hanon gradually adapted to the rhythm of Moro and Shiko, and after about two minutes, she regained the initiative.

"It's a pity. Your teamwork could have been even stronger, but this is a dense forest..." All the training and observation over the years have not been wasted. Hanon keenly noticed the influence of the environment: "Using long weapons in the forest, you're just asking for trouble!"

This place was originally a destroyed forest, and TEPCO was going to carry out a secret operation, so the location they chose was very hidden. The place where the three fought was just a small open space, not very large, with many trees around it, which provided convenience for Kanon to dodge. She intentionally or unintentionally retreated into the bushes, and then Moro's naginata would occasionally hit the trees, requiring time to pull out the sword, or Shiko's kusarigama would get entangled in the tree trunks, wrapping around them several times, requiring time to unlock them. At such times, only the other person could delay Kanon, but was instead forced into dangerous situations by Kanon's heavy punches.

Thanks to their advantageous location, Kanon gradually reversed the tide and gained the upper hand over the two.

Section 160, Chapter 158: My lord, times have changed.

In the end, Hanon managed to overpower Moro and Shiko in a two-on-one battle. The two men's advantage in weapons was negated by the terrain disadvantage, and Hanon's strength, speed, and skills were overwhelmingly superior to theirs, so the outcome of the battle was not hard to predict.

"This person... is so strong..." The two people who had been in the forest all day to support the East Electric team had not watched the final elimination match and were not familiar with "Flavor Sander". They were also surprised to encounter such a strong opponent.

It's important to know that Moro and Shiwang are the "ranked ones" among the Guardians, meaning they are the top-ranked fighters in the Guardian team's internal combat competitions. Moro is fifth and Shiwang is third. Their strength is absolutely not to be underestimated, and they are top-tier even on a global scale. Yet, they are now being suppressed by a skinny, bandaged monster with bare hands, which is very hard to imagine.

Of the two, Moro was slightly weaker, and he became discouraged even faster. He had used all his strength with his naginata, but no matter whether it was a horizontal sweep, a vertical slash, or an upward thrust, it was all easily countered by Kanon. In his impatience, he launched a fierce attack, but then slashed into a tree trunk and could not pull it out.

Hanon sneered but did not pursue, because her previous experience told her that whenever one opponent's offensive stalled, the other would intensify their attack, creating time for their companion to escape the predicament.

So Hanon completely ignored Moro and, the instant his sword pierced the tree trunk, turned and charged towards the free Shi Wang.

If you attack the guy in trouble, the other one will come to his rescue, and as a result, you can't handle either of them. However, once you get the free guy done, the remaining one becomes a sitting duck, and Kanon can easily deal with him.

It's a bit of a shame that when Kanon decided to adopt this strategy, it was Shiwang who was free.

After all, Shi Wang is ranked two places higher than Mao Lu, and his strength and fighting spirit are slightly stronger. In particular, his weapon, the kusarigama, is versatile and can be used for both long-range attacks and close-quarters combat. It is truly difficult to deal with. Hanon had tried to get close to him several times, but all her attempts were ineffective. It was indeed a bit impenetrable.

Therefore, to defeat Maolu, one must first take down Shiwang; to take down Shiwang, one must first disable the Kusarigama.

Shi Wang was startled when he saw Hua Yin rushing towards him. He quickly put the iron ball of the scythe into his side to prepare for defense. The two exchanged two moves in a flash. Suddenly, Hua Yin used a chopping palm technique, her arm like a knife, slashing down from above.

"Haha, what a foolish move!" This chopping palm strike looks powerful, but it plays right into Shi Wang's hands. You should know that the chain sickle in his hand, apart from the sickles and iron balls at both ends, also has an iron chain in the middle that can cause damage!

Shi Wang met Hua Yin's arm directly with his iron chain. Although Hua Yin's attack was heavy, the iron chain was soft and could still deflect the force. Shi Wang then wrapped the iron chain around Hua Yin's arm twice: "Centrifugal force max, you can keep your arm here!"
