"Well, I'll be back soon."
"Come on, bro!"
"Understood~"
It was as if there was an invisible barrier standing at the entrance of the passage. As Wu Yi strode into the competition venue, the girls stopped in unison.
At the entrance of the fighters on the opposite side, [Tiger] Wakatsuki Samurai also entered at the same time.
Exemption—
As if doing stretching exercises before a game, Wu Yi raised his hands to smooth his hair and tilted his head back slightly, looking directly at the opponent he would face in the next battle.
This was actually his first time to meet this fellow "elimination tournament candidate" face to face.
Calm and steady... this was the first impression that Wakatsuki Samurai gave to Wu Yi.
Facing an opponent with absolute strength and certain skills, it would probably be a tough battle if you foolishly choose to confront him head-on.
Wu Yi thought to herself.
On the other side, Wakatsuki Samurai was also walking forward and observing the other party.
Just like that, unknowingly, the two of them came to a slightly subtle distance.
“…You are very strong.”
The two heroes' eyes met, and Wakatsuki Samurai was the first to break the silence.
"But I must win this battle, so I will do my best to defeat you in this match."
"Go all out? Well, okay, that's what Lei'an said at the time anyway."
Wu Yi pretended to be nonchalant and picked his ears, then blew away the earwax debris trapped between his fingernails.
"It's better to say that among those who stand on this field, how many of them don't try their best to win the championship?"
"……Too."
Samurai Wakatsuki thought about it seriously and agreed with this statement.
Wu Yi continued, "Speaking of which, I have a question for you, Wakatsuki. Who do you think will win the other semi-final after us?"
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and the Wakatsuki warrior shook his head.
"There's no point in thinking about this now. No matter who my opponent is, I will do my best to defeat him."
"Do you think so? Well, I'll just say it directly. The most likely winner will be Hei Mu." Wu Yi pointed out something else. "Hei Mu can be said to be a monster who is the embodiment of the ultimate martial arts. His skills are probably enough for him to deal with any form of attack and make effective counterattacks according to the specific situation."
"…What exactly do you want to say?"
"I mean--"
Wu Yi took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
"In the next battle, I will use all my skills."
"And you, are you ready?"
Volume 620: Chapter Demon Killing Tiger
It was not a wise move to reveal all the cards in the semi-finals, and Wu Yi was well aware of this.
It should be said that all the fighters participating in this knockout tournament had some degree of hiding their skills in the early and even middle stages.
This is not a disparagement, but simply a statement of fact.
The reason why a special move is called a special move is because it can only be used at the most important moment. It is a skill that determines the outcome of the battle with one strike.
However, if it is exposed too early, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and precaution of other players, and they may even compare and figure out ways to crack and counter it.
At that time, the ultimate move that was supposed to decide the outcome with one blow will become the fighter's biggest weakness.
Now that we have reached the semi-finals, according to normal thinking, since the game has come to this point, what Wu Yi has to do is to defeat Wakatsuki Bushi while retaining as much strength as possible.
However, he had no intention of doing so.
What Wu Yi has to do is to exert all his strength in this battle, use all his fighting skills, and defeat the Wakatsuki warriors with the least casualties.
"Now that both players have arrived, please take your positions!"
As Wu Yi and Wakatsuki Bushi finished their open conversation, the perceptive referee came to the two of them at the right time and raised one arm high.
"preparation--"
悉~
Before the word "start" was uttered, the Wakatsuki warrior took action.
He assumed the same reverse stance as when he fought Mutba, placing his left eye, which still had good vision, slightly backward, and his right big toe slightly gripping the ground...
Wu Yi crouched low, stretched out his hands forward in a grasping position, in a posture similar to but not exactly the same as when Imai Xiaojuzhou performed the strangulation technique. His bent knees moved his whole body gently to a subtle rhythm.
The next second, the referee's arm swung down suddenly.
"start!!!"
唪！
There was almost no interval. The moment the match was announced to start, Wakatsuki Takeshi suddenly exerted force in his leg muscles, took a big step forward, and punched forward with his clenched right fist in a jab position.
Carve!
This attack was not slow, on the contrary, it was so fast that it almost tore the air apart, perfectly illustrating that a person with great strength will never be slow.
"So fast!"
In the audience, Imai Xiaoyuko, who had suffered new injuries after the battle with Wu Yi in the morning but fortunately not too serious, saw this scene and couldn't help but speak out loudly.
He himself is an ultra-lightweight fighter known for his speed, but Imai Koyomi thought that if he had been prepared and activated his [Field] in advance for Wakatsuki Bushi's opening attack, he would most likely not be able to dodge it even with his speed and would be killed instantly.
However, the Wakatsuki warrior's fist landed in the air.
At the same time, the sound of wind whistled in his ears, mixed with a teasing voice.
"Wow, you really put in a lot of effort right from the start~"
!! ?
Before the Wakatsuki warrior could react to what was happening, he heard two consecutive snapping sounds, and a pair of hands, one in front and one behind, rested on the arm that was throwing the jab.
Then a huge pulling force came.
"That is……"
Imai, who noticed the change in the situation on the field, was shocked again.
From his perspective, Wu Yi jumped to the side and moved to the right side of the opponent's body as if he had predicted the start of the match the moment the match was announced. While avoiding Wakatsuki Bushi's sudden attack, he grabbed the front of the latter's fist with his right hand and used his other hand to press against Wakatsuki Bushi's straight elbow.
Then, using his left foot as a fulcrum, his right foot drew a 180-degree semicircle across the ground like a compass, continuing to pull the Wakatsuki warrior forward.
That was the move he used when he tried to break Akoya Kiyoaki's arm during his battle!
However, Wu Yi's joint destruction was successful.
With a loud sound of a hard object cracking, a leg with throbbing veins stomped heavily into the ground like an Optimus Prime.
No one expected that the Wakatsuki warrior would be able to react even when he thought his attack was sure to hit but missed. He took his right leg, which had already taken a big step forward, a little further forward, gritted his teeth and with a ferocious face, he used the angle created by this distance to stop the inertia of the forward charge.
Although this way of cracking has a bit of the feeling of using excessive force to break bricks, but in the current situation, anyone would have to say - how powerful!
boom!
Before he could utter the words of admiration in his heart, a powerful punch hit the back of Wakatsuki's head.
Wu Yi even predicted that the Wakatsuki warrior would force himself to regain his balance after he used [Wu's Skill·Course Flow Form·Ryu] to try to disrupt his center of gravity. At the same time the latter stepped forward, he released his hand that was pressing on the Wakatsuki warrior's elbow joint, and instead clenched his fist, gathered strength, and released it instantly, hitting the back of his head violently in one go.
The force of this blow was so strong that even a strong warrior like Quanyuan Menghu could not withstand it easily. He was hit so hard that his head drooped down and his eyes were dazed for a moment.
But Wu Yi had no intention of quitting while he was ahead. Before he retracted his left fist, he clenched his right hand into a fist as well, with his thumb placed on the inside of the bend of his index finger and the second joint of his index finger slightly protruding forward.
"Wait, that's not...?"
The familiar gesture made Hatsumi Izumi in the audience unable to hold back.
Because there is no doubt that this is the hand gesture for launching the [Soukumo Triple Combo] in his own Hatsumi-ryu Aikido.
But the problem is that Cong Yun's three consecutive hits hit the three acupoints on the midline of the human face from top to bottom, namely Yintang, Renzhong and Chengjiang.
At this moment, Wu Yi was not only behind the right side of Wakatsuki Samurai, but Wakatsuki Samurai himself also had his head lowered. Where was he going to hit the Murakumo Sanlian?
dong dong dong...
As Wu Yi swung his right hand at a high speed, a series of muffled sounds erupted from the Wakatsuki warrior's body.
So hard~
The moment his knuckles touched the muscles near Wakatsuki Samurai's shoulders, Wu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Wu clan's fighting skills are divided into four major categories: Vajra, Fire Sky, Cao Liu and Water Sky. Among them, the Vajra type is a faction that is specially used to harden muscles to block or deal higher damage. Its basic skill is [Vajra Type·Indestructible].
But during those few hits he just made, the feedback from his fingers made him almost think that he was hitting himself who had also entered the indestructible state.
You have to know that this is just a normal punch with tensed muscles, and it is surprisingly hard.
It’s not bad to be semi-permanent.
Just as Wu Yi was sighing inwardly, the tiger launched a counterattack!
The Wakatsuki warrior roared and turned to the right with a ferocious look in his eyes.
It's a right hook!
Although this move does look a bit awkward, it is the only way to fight back in this position.
Moreover, with the power of fifty-two times the muscle density, even if it was just the power of the Turtle Punch, it would not be... eh???
Just as Wu Yi was about to be knocked away by a punch because he couldn't dodge in time, a scene that no one could understand appeared.
The arm of the Wakatsuki warrior, which should have swept across like a huge pendulum, only swung weakly, barely brushing against Wu Yi's trouser legs, and then turned around and roared at the latter with bared fangs and claws.
?
At this moment, not to mention the entire audience, even the strong face of Wakatsuki Samurai himself revealed a hint of confusion.
What does it mean? The tiger roars to intimidate, and Wu Yi's attack power is reduced, and the effect is outstanding?
That's impossible. This isn't a Pokémon battle...
As if he had expected this to happen, Wu Yi raised his clenched right fist again with a frivolous laugh.
"Nice angle, then... eggplant~"
Volume 621: Chapter : Kuroki has seen through everything
what's the situation?
Why is this happening?
Wakatsuki Samurai maintained the holding posture with his left hand, curled up his body and continued to passively defend against Wu Yi's attack. Only these two questions remained in his mind.
Just now, he was too impatient and attacked with all his strength, but was counterattacked by Wu Yi and his arm was almost broken. Fortunately, he successfully defended himself, but the price was a heavy punch on the back of his head.
But just when he was about to swing his arm to fight back, his arm seemed to disappear at that moment.
It's not the kind of numbness you get from hitting a muscle or anything like that, it's not even the same as anesthesia.
As the fighter with the most fame in Kengan history, Wakatsuki Bushi has also been seriously injured and had to lie on the operating table, and has also been given anesthesia.
But even the anesthesia (partial anesthesia) used in surgery, after entering the body and taking effect, can only make people unable to move or control that part of the body at will.
You can still feel the various parts of your body, including even a cool sensation on your skin when the surgeon applies iodine.
But the situation now is completely different.
In Wakatsuki's perception, his right arm now seemed to have disappeared and been peeled off from his body, just like those disabled patients who had undergone amputation more than ten years ago, whose bodies have already recognized the loss of this limb.
Unable to control, without perception, and even unable to feel existence.
The same thing happened to his only intact left eye, which was now plunged into darkness like his injured right eye.
That feeling was worse than being blinded by an injury. It didn't hurt, but... it also disappeared, along with the upper left quarter of my face, completely disappearing from my neural perception.
What on earth is going on...
“It’s an acupuncture point.”
