San Tian Liang Jiao
Chapter 442 Details Determine Success or Failure
At this moment, in another specially invited player's login space.
"Oh? This is… the power of the Ancient Fighting Devil…" Devouring Sky Ghost looked at the live broadcast on the display screen with great interest, "No wonder even Chan-ge is so concerned about this [Feng Bujue]. He really is extraordinary." His fists clenched subconsciously, and a smile appeared on his lips. "This guy… is very interesting."
…………
On the arena.
Xuhuaishang's golden light shone brightly, but Feng Bujue's black fighting qi was even more intense.
At this moment…
The sword soul met the Fighting Devil, and their fighting spirit shook the heavens.
"I won't be polite then." Feng Bujue whispered and lunged forward.
Xuhuaishang raised her blades, ready to meet the attack head-on.
A new chapter of the battle began, and both sides started with dangerous ultimate moves.
Xuhuaishang's twin blades came out together, and the blade light exploded suddenly, as if she had stabbed forward seven or eight times in the same second.
Her [Eight Directions Break] was like shrapnel made of blades, extremely intimidating to the enemy directly in front. But Feng Bujue didn't care…
Now, Brother Jue was at level thirty-nine, his physical fitness was extremely strong, and his Fighting Specialization had reached B-level. A character like that, with [Fighting Devil Advent] and [Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique] fully activated, could reach a speed that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
In his eyes, he could clearly see every blade Xuhuaishang stabbed, the order, the timing, the force, the speed… he saw it all. And he could dodge, easily dodge…
"The feeling is different from when I used it last time…" Feng Bujue thought to himself, "This time… it has allowed me to reach a new realm." He seemed to understand something, "So… in the Fighting Devil Advent state, the stronger my own strength, the higher the level of power I will experience…"
At this moment, Brother Jue's perspective on things was very close to that of a Derivative. As long as he concentrated, he could see matter as a form of data stream.
"So that's how it is… is this the true face of energy? Hmph… it seems like something that can be directly manipulated." While he was thinking, he had already reached out his hand. In the next second, he actually successfully grabbed a ball of black fighting qi and transformed it from the formless to the tangible, turning it into a black energy beam with actual killing power.
Feng Bujue's method of grasping clouds to form a halberd was similar to Xuhuaishang's changing light blades, but his methods were undoubtedly more brilliant.
Xuhuaishang was shocked when she saw this. She hurriedly used three more moves, [Mind's Eye Blade. Water Moon], [Mind's Eye Blade. Break], and [Mind's Eye Blade. Heaven's Net], attacking from the lower, middle, and upper paths respectively.
The blade芒 she slashed out this time was cyan-blue. All three moves were as swift as a startled goose and unstoppable, defending her front perfectly.
However, Feng Bujue's actual speed had far exceeded her expectations…
"Hmph… slow as if it's standing still." Suddenly, a laugh came, and Brother Jue had already appeared behind Xuhuaishang. The black energy beam in his hand was like a sharp blade, and with a wave of his hand, it pierced into his opponent's heart.
A blood flower bloomed on Xuhuaishang's chest, reflecting the red cherry blossoms on her white clothes.
"Cough…" Xuhuaishang spat out blood, and her eyebrows furrowed, her face pale.
This piercing injury was naturally painful. Her fans were heartbroken when they saw this scene, but she was still able to endure it and had not given up.
In the [Soul Descent] state, the survival value was positive infinity. This effect was even more amazing than the 300% survival value of [Fighting Devil Advent]. Simply put… as long as her body didn't suffer an extremely fatal injury, she wouldn't die.
Therefore, Xuhuaishang was far from giving up. She still had the strength to fight.
"Opportunity!" Regardless of the pain, she gritted her teeth and turned around, instead taking advantage of the opening after the opponent's attack to turn defense into offense.
The long blade in her hand suddenly turned purple and blue, and with a concentrated burst of energy, she slashed down.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue retreated and covered his hand with black fighting qi, quickly raising his arm to block.
Clang—
The two energies collided, and the fighting qi on Brother Jue's hand and the blade qi on Xuhuaishang's blade dissipated, leaving Feng Bujue's defenses wide open for a moment.
Xuhuaishang would never let go of this opportunity. The long and short twin blades in her hand followed up with successive moves, one blue blade slashing upwards diagonally, and one purple blade thrusting forward. After these two attacks, there was also a fatal hidden strike of leaning forward and slashing horizontally with both arms spread apart.
This [Double Moon Array. First Style Tachi, Second Style Tachi] was Jubei Yagyu's defense-breaking combo, and also a unique skill of the dual-blade style. Its characteristic was to break defenses with force and kill enemies with skill.
When facing an opponent like Feng Bujue, it was impossible to gain any advantage by playing tricks. In front of zero-time difference calculation, there were no "unconventional" moves. Therefore, mature and fixed routines were more effective than strange and bizarre moves.
Zi Zi Zi—
Three short, rapid sounds were heard, and Feng Bujue's right chest, left shoulder, and ribs were hit by the blades; the wounds opened up, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. However, his expression didn't change much, so it seemed that he wasn't in immediate danger of dying.
"Hmm… sure enough… from the data level, the so-called 'injury' is just an abnormal combination of code. As long as you know how to convert it, you can use pure energy to correct it…" Feng Bujue would not feel any fear in battle. It was almost impossible for the other party to create any psychological pressure on him, so he could remain calm and think during the intense confrontation.
"Pure energy can be converted into various data, so it should be able to do many things…" As he thought, he tried to directly guide the black fighting qi that was flowing out of his body to quickly cover his three wounds. As a result, the gushing blood was actually stopped…
"Skills… are basically predetermined formulas provided by the system to help players use their own energy more effectively." Feng Bujue summarized this untimely little experiment in his mind, "It's just… the complexity of these formulas is far beyond what the human brain can construct. Even an F-level medical skill is countless times more brilliant than what I'm doing now… If I were to make an analogy, the difficulty of my actions is only equivalent to shooting a basketball; while what the system is doing is like inventing the sport of 'basketball' in one second."
Brother Jue's thoughts all flashed through his mind in a few seconds.
During these few seconds, the black energy beam that had penetrated Xuhuaishang's body had dissipated on its own, and her wound had also recovered in an instant.
Then, Xuhuaishang raised her wrist again, and the twin blades in her hand merged into one. The weapon she chose this time looked simple and unadorned, and the blade shape was standard, but the aura emanating from the blade was stronger than any of the previous ones.
This blade… was [Inscribed Blade. Fugu Poison].
At this moment, the duration of Xuhuaishang's skill had passed three minutes, and her opponent was obviously not the kind of enemy that could be defeated with a few moves, so she had to press her advantage and not delay.
"Gale Arc Moon Slash!" She shouted softly and lunged forward.
"Hmph…" Feng Bujue snorted coldly, leaned back and did a backflip, using the momentum to unleash a gale leg, "Gale Leg - White Lightning!" This time he was relatively serious when he shouted the name of the move, and with his current ability, the power of the move was no less than that of [R2 - Galewind].
Xuhuaishang didn't care about the loss of survival value, so she didn't hesitate to use close combat to fight against the slash in front of her. Relying on the power of her own moves, she broke through the air waves and took another step forward.
"Pretty tough… then let's have another one! Gale Leg - Pack of Wolves Starburst!" Feng Bujue jumped lightly a few times, kicking his legs repeatedly, and four special slash waves flew out, rushing out like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
"Hmph… tough? That's my line…" Xuhuaishang said in her heart. Her cheeks, waist, and outer thighs were quickly injured by the Gale Leg slashes, and the attack in the very center hit her neck.
But this time, Xuhuaishang had made up her mind to kill… She endured the pain and didn't make a single move, relying on her tenacity and willpower to break through to Feng Bujue's front.
In this second, the two of them faced each other, close at hand. One was in a posture of leaning forward and charging, and the other was in a posture of leaning back and jumping.
Xuhuaishang was determined to kill, and Feng Bujue's fighting blood was rampant.
A shocking blow, suddenly slashed out…
[Mystic Art. Heaven Overlord Sky Severing Fierce Slash]
In Feng Bujue's eyes, he only saw a sharp light flashing, and a fierce killing move came rolling in. An invisible power suppressed his body, making it impossible for him to avoid it.
In an instant, the Death Poker flashed with golden light, and the [Shield "牌"] special effect was activated.
Feng Bujue used his only defensive skill, adding all of his fighting qi to the shield made of light牌, trying to resist the fatal extreme slash.
However, an instant later, blood splattered…
Feng Bujue was actually no match for Xuhuaishang's blade勢 in the exchange of moves. His chest was slashed open by a blade, the wound was hideous, and blood splattered five steps away.
"I understand…" Feng Bujue was still smiling at this time. He opened his mouth and said, "Before this skill ends, your survival value is also infinite, right… no wonder you can be so reckless… cough…" A mouthful of blood interrupted his words.
"It's too late for you to know now!" Xuhuaishang's breathing was slightly steady, and she began to gather her strength again, wanting to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, "Heaven Overlord God Sealing Slash!"
The [Soul Descent] state was truly heaven-defying. As long as the conditions allowed and she had enough energy, she could use mystic arts continuously without any scruples.
"Then I'll tear you in half…" Feng Bujue said coldly. The fighting qi around his body reignited, and demonic energy soared into the sky.
In an instant, the world was dim and the sun and moon were dark.
Feng Bujue was completely wrapped in fighting qi, like a demon god. He met the blade with his fists and feet, advancing instead of retreating.
Xuhuaishang had no reason to retreat either, and the momentum of the blade did not decrease.
Unexpectedly, after the move landed… the Heaven Overlord God Sealing Slash was actually broken by Feng Bujue with his bare hands, and the blade made of light suddenly shattered.
"How… is this possible…" Xuhuaishang couldn't help but say a forbidden sentence like a death fLAG.
"Blades or hands, they're all data." Feng Bujue said as he fought, "The energy that transforms the blade and the energy on the surface of my body are similar things… so, the one with the higher intensity can naturally shatter the other!"
As Xuhuaishang's weapon shattered, the battle between the two entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
Immediately, the fists stirred up wind and clouds, and the palms swept across the mountains and rivers. The two fought together, exchanging blows, with every punch hitting flesh.
…………
"Damn it! Get your hands off her!"
"You dare to hit my Shangshang, you scum, go die!"
"Xuhuaishang, add oil!"
The hearts of thousands of viewers were in their throats. They had also heard the conversation between Feng Bujue and Xuhuaishang, so they knew that the latter had activated some skill with huge limitations to barely fight to this point.
"Too… too amazing…" The commentator Hua Xiong was stuttering a bit, "The strength and speed of the two players have obviously surpassed the limits of their levels. They are engaging in a contest to break through their limits. Even though the system camera can keep up with their pace, our eyes are almost unable to keep up."
Pan Feng continued, "From the current situation, the two are evenly matched. Although player Feng Bujue still has an advantage in absolute strength, we can see that player Xuhuaishang's fighting skills are very superb. With her full defense, player Feng Bujue is indeed unable to make a fatal attack."
"Excuse me, Brother Pan," Hua Xiong said, "From the conversation between the two players just now, we have learned that… player Xuhuaishang's survival value seems to be infinite. Is there still such a thing as a 'fatal attack'?"
Pan Feng replied, "Of course there is… player Feng Bujue's sentence 'tear you in half' is not an ordinary threat. He is referring to the literal meaning of the words."
"You mean…" Hua Xiong motioned for his partner to continue.
"Even if the survival value is infinite, if the head is cut off, it will still be judged as death." Pan Feng said, "Also… if the entire body is broken or even divided, with a certain section of the spine as the midpoint…"
Before the two of them could finish speaking, Xuhuaishang's fans had already started crying and wailing.
"What! He's actually going to do that!"
"Feng Bujue must die!"
"If you dare to do that to Shangshang, I'll come to your door and砍死 you!"
If it weren't for the system's restrictions, these guys would have been cursing already.
…………
"I wouldn't have known if I hadn't been hit by that move, Heaven Overlord Sky Severing Fierce Slash…" Feng Bujue thought to himself, "My current state will actually get stronger the more I fight in the Fighting Devil state… Like just now, after being severely injured, my demonic nature and fighting qi will immediately increase explosively…"
His gaze shifted to Xuhuaishang's eyes. The look in her eyes in response to his was tired, but still firm, full of fighting spirit.
"After losing your blade, you can still fight to this point… commendable." Feng Bujue said, "But… it ends here." As soon as he finished speaking, his palms flipped over, and the moves on his hands changed as quickly as clouds. Under the cover of the black qi, his hands quickly grabbed towards his opponent's nape.
Xuhuaishang seemed to have been prepared for this. Her steps suddenly changed, and her soft body leaned to the side by half. Then, she actually transformed into a流光幻影 in an instant, passing through Feng Bujue's body.
"Oma's Omen?" Feng Bujue reacted quickly, and his mind immediately made a series of inferences, "Since she can use Oma's Omen, that means… she can use all of Shiro Amakusa's moves…"
As he thought of this, he had already turned around to face the enemy, but Xuhuaishang's next move was already waiting there—[Demon Subduing Beckoning Rupture]
Under Feng Bujue's right foot, a circular black magic circle appeared, and a force similar to gravity bound him to the spot, making it impossible for him to move.
Xuhuaishang had completed the initial stage, and the subsequent big move began to gather strength… A blue-black energy ball was quickly condensed in her hand, and the violent energy was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feng Bujue naturally knew the power of this [Vicious Nether Ten Killing Array], and his survival value did not allow him to take such an attack again.
So, he did something crazy…
But seeing, hands up牌落, golden芒一闪, blood似霞飞.
Feng Bujue actually cut off his own right leg with Death Poker…
And at the same time as he cut off his right leg, his left leg had already activated Moon Step, causing his entire body to pop out backwards.
[Fighting Devil Advent] gave him almost infinite fighting qi, which he could use at will as long as his mental strength was sufficient. Therefore, during the retreat, Feng Bujue had silently circulated black fighting qi to treat his broken leg and the wounds on his body. In the blink of an eye, his leg had begun to recover; red blood cells, bone marrow, and granulation tissue… grew wildly like plants in a horror movie, spiraling and interlacing.
Xuhuaishang really didn't expect that the other party could come up with such a method… After the blade was shattered, she intentionally hid Shiro Amakusa's skills, giving the offense to Feng Bujue. She relied on her infinite survival value to defend bitterly… At this moment, she finally waited for an opportunity to reverse the situation, but it was broken by Brother Jue.
The failure of this mystic art also plunged Xuhuaishang into despair. Because… the time limit for [Soul Descent] had arrived… She had no second chance.
But seeing that graceful figure, fell to the ground gracefully. The impact after the skill ended made her unable to do anything. She could only lie on her back in the center of the arena, at the mercy of others.
Feng Bujue only needed to aim a Gale Leg at Xuhuaishang to determine the outcome.
Unfortunately…
Brother Jue had just stabilized his body, and his broken leg had only just grown back completely, and the time limit for [Fighting Devil Advent] had also arrived…
He took advantage of the retreating momentum and sat down on the ground with a thud, and then… also lay down on his back.
…………
In the shopping mall… there was silence once again.
The audience's last silence was because of the shock that the confrontation between [Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist] and [Northern Sky Cross Sparrow] brought them (of course, if they knew what this battle would turn into next, then the scene at that time wouldn't be anything).
And this time they were silent because they didn't understand.
"What's going on? Who won?"
"Neither of them turned into white light…"
"But they're both not moving…"
After a long while, many questions came from the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after a fierce confrontation, both players have fallen to the ground!" Hua Xiong shouted, "It seems that the match has reached the final moment!"
Pan Feng also said in a very nervous tone, "Who will stand up and give the other person the final blow?"
…………
Suddenly, a stooped figure hopped into the arena.
"Sssssssss…" Musashi Koganei laughed with his unique habit, and came to Feng Bujue's side, "Boss, I'm back at the agreed time."
"Hahahaha… ah hahahahaha…" Feng Bujue laughed wildly.
Xuhuaishang sighed, she understood, it was over…
"How is this possible…" A wry smile appeared on her graceful and beautiful face.
"At the beginning of the script, the instruction I secretly gave him was… to go out and wander around for twenty minutes, and come back before the summoning time limit expires." Feng Bujue heard his opponent's sigh and replied with a smile, "Of course, I couldn't have imagined at the time… that the situation would develop into what it is now. What I was thinking at the time was… since he's going to disappear sooner or later, then it's better to come back and show his face before he disappears. Even if his appearance can only have a little bit of interference, it's good, it's better than disappearing outside the arena."
"Heh…" Xuhuaishang also smiled, "I really lost to you… Even for a skill that has nothing to do with combat, you made the most appropriate arrangement…" She paused and continued, "A seemingly unimportant detail has become the key to victory or defeat… Hmph… I admit you're good, I have nothing to say."
"Thank you." Feng Bujue turned his head to Musashi Koganei and said, "Go kick that sister."
"Oh." Musashi Koganei nodded, ran to Xuhuaishang's side, and gently kicked her arm.
As Xuhuaishang's last 1% of survival value was used up, Feng Bujue's first battle… was finally declared a victory.
After this extremely thrilling contest, Brother Jue finally advanced to the finals of the Peak Hegemony Battle.
However… the real fierce battle had only just begun…
