BXBX NOVEL Vol 21 2-3
Yingkong had already completely changed to her mainpersonality. Her abilities had already changed from one of an elite assassin tothat of a genius rarely seen in the assassin clan in many years. From her wordsit could also be seen that she did indeed have other goals apart from fightingwith Zheng. It should be to let her secondary personality understand somebattle techniques more as a foundation for the final battle.
Zheng’s wrist had been redirected, and he had been pushedover ten metres away. Tiger’s Soul had been dropped, but his expression didn’thave much change. His wrist hadn’t even stopped trembling, and he suspended hishand limply as he spoke. “Since you’ve already come out to fight, then I’ll usemy real battle power... How do you feel if we start with Explosion?”
Yingkong was still in that sweetly smiling look of hers thatwas adorable. However, in the next second, she stomped down with force.Borrowing this force, she retreated, while at the same time, her leg hookedTiger’s Soul on the ground and sent it flying to her hand. The phrase ajade-like woman and rainbow-like sword perfectly fit the current her, as longas the sword was changed to a sabre.
Zheng’s foot was already stepping on the spot she was atjust now. With that heavy force, he actually caused the ground to sink down.Although it was merely Explosion, it was not just many times more powerful thanbefore with his current body constitution and power. Each and every punch andmove of his carried tempestuous intent. And with the comprehension and passingof the heart’s devil, his battle style had its own unique points, which was touse force to forcefully break through. Under such force, what kind of techniquecould block it? Just now Yingkong had precisely sensed his power, which was whyunder immense peril, she had dodged it. Otherwise, this foot wouldn’t just bestepping on the ground.
“Good! You sensed my power which is why you moved right?Again!”
Zheng’s speed after using Explosion could no longer becaught by the naked eye. When faced with a lower level opponent, it would beover in a flash. Only the level of Zhao Zhuikong or the real Zhao Yingkongcould deal with it, but people on this level in the entire realm could becounted on one set of hands. Thus, Zheng did indeed have the qualifications touse force to break through.
Zheng forcefully stepped on the ground, and the groundcracked once again. He borrowed this strength to charge towards Yingkong again.Although he only had one hand remaining, his momentum was as powerful as athunderbolt. His entire figure turned into a blur as he attacked. The first tocome was a fist towards Yingkong.
This little girl Yingkong maintained her charming smile asbefore. She didn’t panic, lifting the Tiger’s Soul in her hand and chopping towardsZheng. It seemed weak and without much strength put in, but its angle wasincomparably cunning. If Zheng insisted on continuing with that punch, it wouldbe hard to avoid colliding with the edge of Tiger’s Soul. Although his bodyconstitution was indeed powerful, it was still a far cry from Tiger’s Soul’ssharpness.
Who could expect that Zheng wouldn’t dodge, and a pale whitelight suddenly appeared on his hand. This was created from when he compressedQi in his palm. Using the infinitesimal control from the early fourth stage, hecould be considered to be proficient at this kind of energy manipulation.Before the light blade from Tiger’s Soul could hit his hand, he was alreadygrabbing the light blade and pulling it over.
“Hehe, take it!” Yingkong giggled, and easily let go offTiger’s Soul. Sure enough, Zheng forcefully retreated about half a step backabruptly. Yingkong actually had her body slip back in, her body squeezing intoZheng’s embrace, and her two small hands wrapped towards the direction ofZheng’s neck. It looked it didn’t have any strength put into it, purely lookinglike lovers playing around. Zheng was however breaking out into cold sweat. Hehad seen this before in Yingkong’s memories. A tug would cause an enormousamount of force and a light jump would cause a person’s neck bones to snap. Howwas this move that of a spar? It was simply that of a killing move. Zhenghurriedly retreated without even thinking about it.
Yingkong had been waiting for this chance. That action hadbeen a feint. Although it was said that when you take action, don’t show mercy,and if you show mercy, don’t take action, it was a spar after all, and shewouldn’t use an assassin’s killing moves. She wasn’t afraid of close combatwith Zheng, but only of him charging about like some rhinoceros. Thus, shestarted going on the offensive the moment Zheng retreated.
Zheng could only retreat several steps in time, andYingkong’s current speed was faster than him. She easily charged to in front ofhim. One palm grabbed towards the wrist that Zheng had lost control of, whilethe other came out of nowhere towards his chest, as if it was waiting forsomething. Zheng’s wrist was grabbed, and an acute pain was transmitted fromhis arm immediately. His other hand was grasping the light blade of Tiger’sSoul. Unable to think through it carefully in time, he threw away Tiger’s Soulat once, and a fist punched out towards Yingkong.
Yingkong’s waiting hand in the air finally extended. Sheused her palm to block Zheng’s attack. That strike that seemed as powerful as athunderbolt instead seemed as light and insignificant as a goose feather whenit hit the centre of her palm. The force was uniformly distribution all overher body and the girl was sent flying. However, her other hand was stillgrabbing onto the wrist joint Zheng had lost control of. Under this force, shespun a circle in mid-air like a pendulum. Then, with a bang, Zheng’s armactually twisted to his back. The power of Explosion combined with the momentumof her revolution actually forcibly snapped this arm.
Zheng could only let out a yelp of pain in time. Before hecould make any reaction, Yingkong behind him stepped down on the ground,jumping over to his front while still holding onto his hand. The arm hadalready been snapped and with the pull of this force, the arm was actuallyforcibly torn off in the instant she landed. The was a tearing sound like a ragtearing, and Yingkong had already jumped over ten metres away, the severed armin tow. Zheng’s arm spurted out blood continuously, only stopping severalseconds later.
“Hehe... This level of power isn’t of difficulty to me. Zheng,I only have a few minutes. Could you be trying to drag this out until I fallasleep? It’s better for us to start the real fight. This speed is simply makingme yawn.” Yingkong giggled. In truth, she had many misgivings about Zheng inher heart, or else she wouldn’t have started off with making Zheng’s armuseless. Only now, did she feel confidence in dealing with his Destruction.
Zheng sealed all the blood vessels in his severed arm, evensuppressing the pain. Only then did he finally look at the girl over ten metresaway, who was still adorably giggling. Although there was some blood on herface and body, it only served to make her more bewitching.
“If so... then this is Destruction!”
Zheng suddenly started laughing. It wasn’t because he lostan arm, but because Yingkong’s power exceeded his expectations. If so, thiscould tip the scales in team China’s favour in the final battle. Thinking ofthis made him laugh. As for what happened next in the battle, it would dependon how long Yingkong could last.
Yingkong was originally still standing there giggling, butin the next moment she waved her hand to block her front. With a lonely bang,her entire body was sent flying backwards. However, this girl was indeed stillnimble. She stepped down forcefully at the moment of her fall, suddenly rollingtowards the side, thus managing to dodge a punch directed at her landingposition.
Yingkong was secretly complaining internally. Just blockingthis attack had shattered her bones, and this was the result after usinginfinitesimal control. Although a large majority of the force had beendispersed into the ground, the remaining force still hadn’t been something shecould bear. And that wasn’t all...
As an assassin, Yingkong wouldn’t have as many scruples asshe did now when it came to killing. Put unpleasantly, she already had thechance to kill Zheng before when she broke off his arm. However, she had letthe opportunity go as it was a spar. Truthfully, lacking a weapon, she couldn’tkill Zheng anymore when Zheng activated Destruction, unless...
“Alright, let’s stop here. We said it’s a spar. If youunlock the mid fourth stage, you can indeed use that physique that lets youabsorb energy. But won’t you be afraid of hurting us without having overcomeyour heart’s devil?”
Zheng used Soru while in Destruction, and in the instantYingkong landed on the ground, he had arrived before her. One finger lightlytapping her forehead, he smiled faintly and said, “That’s right, team China isstrong. Not just me, but everyone is strong!”
