The back of her head was only an inch away from the ground, and at this moment, Gong Yang Zhen lifted her ankle slightly, causing her to stop in the air, and then he exerted force with his fingertips -
Wu Garuda stood on the ground again in a daze.
Eh? ...Eh?
What happened?
"That's enough, Garuda. ...Well, it seems my idea is correct."
His posture was slightly destroyed, but he was still able to use "Starfall". What did Gong Yang Zhen do?
The answer is - Erhuliu·Caoliu form!
Since the opponent's resistance and counterattack may destroy the formed posture, use "Erhu Liu·Cao Liu Zhi Xing·Liu" and "Erhu Liu·Cao Liu Zhi Xing·Luo Fan" to control and utilize the opponent's power!
The two unique skills are combined here, this is no longer an ordinary "Starfall".
This is Ultraman Galaxy Phantom Super 44 Caliber Maglin Limit... Starfall!
Let's call it a "sun meteorite".
By using this move to attack the enemy, I believe that when the combined amazing power of myself and Pico explodes at the back of his head, I can give him an unexpected surprise.
Pico, how do you feel? How do you feel?
After estimating the possible power of this move on Pique, Gong Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, but then frowned again.
"...No, we cannot rule out the possibility that the opponent's skull has a strong shock-absorbing structure. We need to be prepared for both scenarios."
Fortunately, I have another plan!
At this moment, facing the sandbag that had been put back on the ground, Gong Yangzhen slightly lowered his eyes, his mind dived... dived...
................................................
"You should just lie down peacefully."
In the ward, Gong Yangzhen sat in front of the bed and chatted with Lie Haiwang who was recuperating - he came to this world every day these days, mainly to gather first-hand intelligence and be ready to fight the unfinished battle with Pico who was sent to the underground arena.
And ever since he set a precedent for the first time, he would come to the ward to visit this man with a temper as stubborn as a donkey before leaving every time.
You ask why he is like a stubborn donkey?
His ribs are almost broken into pieces, but he is still restless and wants to continue challenging Pico. Isn't this a stubborn donkey?
For a moment, Gong Yang Zhen looked quite speechless.
——Brother Yongzhou, are you so anxious to give Pico a kick?
My evaluation is that it doesn’t taste as good as Jinhua ham.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, you should rest well... Besides, Pi is my undefeated opponent, Brother Yongzhou, a gentleman should not take away someone else's love."
"I...ah, I understand."
King Liehai would definitely not listen if someone used physical reasons to persuade the other party, but when Gong Yangzhen said so in a slightly heavier tone, King Liehai could no longer ignore it.
It was the first time I found a young friend who could help me improve my martial arts skills, and it was also the first time I met a warrior from the barbaric era 200 million years ago when "martial arts" had not yet appeared. These two happy things overlapped. And these two joys brought me more joy. What I got should have been a happy time like a dream... But why did it turn out like this...
Gong Yangzhen: Sorry, I was here first. (No mercy)
Seeing that King Lie Hai finally lay down resigned to his fate and no longer insisted on his own ideas, he just kept asking Gong Yang Zhen to let the primitive man, whose concept was even older than "martial arts", see the power of martial arts that has been passed down to this day.
Gong Yang Zhen nodded in agreement, but he still felt a little complicated.
Originally, I held the idea of coming to this world just to enjoy fighting and not be responsible for the consequences, and wanted to become a shadow living in the legend, but unexpectedly, some subtle ties arose after all.
Under the slightly confused gaze of King Lie Hai, Gong Yang Zhen stared at his still intact right leg for two seconds, and finally felt a little happy.
——No matter what, this guy’s fate has been changed a little bit by me.
In that case, you must not die tragically at the hands of Miyamoto Musashi's sword again, Brother Yongzhou... Well, in order to prevent your heart from being wounded, let me control this unrivaled swordsman for you.
Of course it’s too early to say that, now is Pico’s time - after all, the time has come.
Pico went on a hunger strike.
Chapter 21 Tokugawa Mitsunari
Tokugawa Mitsunari has been very distressed recently.
Perhaps many people would find it confusing. What could this wealthy man, the 11th-generation grandson of Tokugawa Mitsukuni, the lord of Mito Domain during the Edo Shogunate era and the 13th-generation head of the Tokugawa Zaibatsu, who was so wealthy that even Japanese politicians had to respect him, have to worry about?
Isn't it true that from the moment you are born you already have a high status and luxurious life that countless people will never be able to experience in their entire lives?
Having said that, sometimes there are things in this world that even the wealth of a rival country or the power over ten thousand people cannot accomplish.
For example, this big baby from 200 million years ago has been on a hunger strike for more than half a month. This is not something that Tokugawa Mitsunari can control with Mane.
At this moment, in the underground fighting arena on the sixth floor of Tokyo Dome, Pico was sitting in a corner, hugging his knees in a position that looked very similar to the one Wei had done after being violated by Brother Jie, staring calmly at the sand in front of him in a daze.
At first glance, he seems alone and lonely, but if you look closely at his expression, he doesn't seem bored at all. There is even a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, which shows that this primitive warrior is in a very relaxed mood.
But some people don't have such a good attitude as him.
Somewhere in the spectator seats, the bloodthirsty Cybertronian Tokugawa Mitsunari looked at the quiet figure from afar and sighed frequently.
At this moment, he remembered the words of Dr. Albertobe, the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry who had come to Neon from America a few days ago because he was concerned about Pico's safety. He was also the Frankenstein who was responsible for awakening Pico.
"...Let me be bold and say, Mr. Tokugawa, I think we should change our ideas and views - Pi is not a beast, he is a proud and ambitious warrior."
"For a warrior like this, if he doesn't have the courage to face the enemy head-on, he won't hunt, let alone feed them like charity."
"——That's simply an insult. Pico has a good temper by not killing the person who tried to feed him... Anyway, please find such a powerful bait for Pico to eat as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
...That's so easy for you to say, you bastard.
It's just a simple truth, but the terrifying wildness in Pico can impact the heart of a fighter through the screen. What other creatures on this earth dare to face him?
A multi-ton fighting bull from Spain? Fleeing in panic.
The largest brown bear ever captured in Kamchatka? No word.
Lion, leopard, Tibetan mastiff, python...
Tokugawa Mitsunari had basically experienced all the feared animals on land. They were so dangerous and deadly in the mountains, rainforests or grasslands, but in front of Pico they were like children in front of their father, and had no courage to resist at all.
They are not qualified to be Pico's prey.
——This is how bad it is.
Generally speaking, for a normal human being, not eating for one to two weeks will not affect the health too much. However, after about a month, nutrients such as glycogen, fat and protein in the body will be burned out, and life will be in danger.
The last recorded meal that Pico had eaten was some Tyrannosaurus Rex meat in the cold storage room of the laboratory where he woke up from his slumber. It has been nearly a month since he took in any nutrients other than water. Even though his body is stronger than an ordinary person, this will put his life in danger.
But such a strong man, a peerless macho man who even America's latest exoskeleton Gundam cannot shake, if he doesn't want to eat, who can force him?
For a moment, Tokugawa Mitsunari also showed an expression of deep sorrow.
No, Pico, don’t be like that, you can’t be like that... I still want to watch the modern fighter and the strongest primitive warrior compete for the title of "the strongest in history"!
"…But is there any beast on land that is ferocious enough to not lose its fighting spirit even in front of Pico?"
"I heard that there was a giant mammoth in Africa that had a reverted ancestral lineage and was more than ten times larger than an ordinary elephant. Unfortunately, it was killed by the 'strongest man on earth' with his bare hands and turned into a snack in his stomach."
"Well, how about a Siberian tiger? It's the largest cat on Earth... but it seems to have become an endangered species now, so it's not easy to get one."
Holding his chin in his hand, the bald old man was thinking deeply. He was exhausted for a while and didn't even realize that someone was secretly behind him.
Well, this didn't seem to be his fault... because if that person wanted to hide, he might not be noticed even if he stood in front of him.
"——You seem to be troubled by the lack of suitable 'bait', Mr. Tokugawa."
"...?!"
The sudden cold words startled Tokugawa Mitsunari for a moment, and then his whole body trembled!
If this person hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even noticed that the shadow cast by the other person's tall body had completely enveloped him... and the source of the sound was so close, it was almost right behind his head!
You know, as the head of a country's pillar chaebol, in many ways he is even more noble than the head of state. Naturally, there are always people who want to murder such a nobleman.
And if this was a killer, he would surely be beheaded by now!
As a chill ran down his spine, the first person to react to the situation was not Tokugawa Mitsuru himself, but the group of bodyguards in suits behind him.
“This guy?!”
“…Wh, when?——”
"No! Protect the master!"
There were chaotic footsteps, the sound of gun safety bolts opening, and the sound of scolding...
There was a constant stream of chaotic noises, but this tall man, who was in sharp contrast to the skinny body of Tokugawa Mitsunari, who had shrunk due to old age, was not moved at all, as if he was unaware of it.
Looking from this bottom-up angle, the man's face was shrouded in darkness, and his specific features could not be seen at all. Only his wolf-like eyes looked down at Tokugawa Mitsunari, seemingly emitting a faint light.
"..."
When he came to his senses, he was already frightened by that terrifying aura, but he was not frightened to the point of being unable to move or even incontinent like an ordinary person. Instead, this old man, who often dealt with strong people, turned around with a slight trembling.
It's not that I'm shaking because of "fright", but that I'm shaking because of "excitement"!
This familiar physique...
"You, you are the one——"
"...Skip the part of exchanging identities or complimenting each other. You want to see a fight, and I want to fight to the death. This is enough."
The dark face made it impossible to see the changes in his expression, and the cold voice made it impossible to hear the joy or anger in his emotions. However, the words that came out of the other party's mouth made Tokugawa Mitsunari stand there in a daze for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
Chapter 22: Battle Confirmed
"If you're having a headache about what to use to stimulate the appetite of that picky eater, why not consider me? Haha."
At this point, the voice that had originally been calm seemed to become rippled like the calm surface of a lake rippling with a breeze.
And a sinister arc slowly appeared on that person's face.
"——After all, I am very confident in the quality of my meat. It is firm, elastic and chewy, just right for that guy with sharp teeth and a sharp tongue."
“…This is really a joke.”
Although the words used seemed to be asking for my opinion, the tone sounded like that of an Egyptian woman giving orders to a clerk in a clothing store in a condescending manner, as if she was sure that I would not get angry and refuse.
But Tokugawa Mitsunari did not take it as an offense. Instead, he smiled at the other party with his eyes slightly lowered and his face lowered, as if he had met an old friend.
In the capital of this tiny island country, no matter how big or small the events are, they cannot escape the eyes and ears of this old man who stands at the top of the country.
And Tokugawa Mitsunari already knew who the other party was.
"——After all, you are the one who once fought and suppressed Pico, fought a short battle with the 'strongest creature on earth' and ended up with no clear winner, and recently subdued the 'magic fist' Rei Kaiou, Mr. Goram..."
The more he spoke, the louder and more excited his tone became.
To give an example, it's like the card-drawing mobile game you're playing has started a new large-scale event, and a super-sexy new wife has been released, and you just open the game and make the first single draw to get the hottest character in the entire card pool!
The joy that Tokugawa Mitsunari felt at that moment was all these feelings... times two!
He is a new strong man! He wants to complete the unfinished duel with Pico, and he took the initiative to find me, Tokugawa Mitsunari!
And is a showdown even more fierce than the underground fighting elimination tournament and the fight between death row prisoners, a brand new audio-visual feast, about to open in front of me?
Bliss!
Yeah! I want to see it! I want to see this!
At this moment, the leader of the bloodthirsty audience in the Baki world almost forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed slightly.
"——To say that a man like you is 'bait' is a bit too much... Mr. Gongyang, if you don't mind, please come to my humble abode for a chat. I will serve you some good tea."
....................................
In the luxuriously decorated manor and the spacious Japanese-style room, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other. The old man was kneeling on his knees meticulously, while the young man was sitting cross-legged with his back straight.
After a while, someone served the fragrant tea. As the mist rose and the fragrance of tea filled the air, people naturally started talking.
At this moment, Gong Yang Zhen looked at the old man in front of him whose body had shrunk severely, and for a moment he felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
The same is true for the former president of Kengankai, Katara Metdou, and the boss behind the Tokyo Dome Underground Arena. Is it true that a powerful, energetic old man who loves fighting has become a standard feature of fighting anime?
Moreover, it seems that these two people had close interactions in the joint extra-episode. The two naughty old guys were also very naughty together, holding hands and spinning around... and the establishment of the fighting groups on both sides are inextricably linked to the Tokugawa family in the Warring States Period. The settings and logic of the joint together are surprisingly self-consistent.
...Speaking of which, these two worlds will not really be connected in the future, right?
Thinking about all sorts of things, Gong Yang Zhen was speechless for a moment. He took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then he heard what Tokugawa Mitsunari said in front of him.
"...Although I have roughly guessed what you mean, I still want to ask again, using myself as 'bait' and 'chip' to fight a life-and-death battle with Pico...Mr. Ram, are you serious about making this proposal?"
