Seeing that Xia Yan had dodged her attack so easily, Esdeath did not show the slightest surprise.
Although the power of her sweeping kick, when used by an ordinary martial artist, far exceeded the power of their ultimate killing technique honed over many years.
But she never expected to defeat her enemy in one move.
In her mind, if someone is deemed strong enough to be valued by her, then they should at least not be someone she can easily defeat with a few punches and kicks.
After her guillotine-like kick missed its mark, Esdeath instantly displayed remarkable physical flexibility.
"drink--"
With a delicate shout, she twisted her slender waist into a pretzel shape, causing her body to spin violently.
With a light touch of the toes on the ground, the whole person is lifted into the air.
He twisted his body in mid-air, combining the power from his sprint with the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, and unleashed a spinning 1.4 roundhouse kick with even greater ferocity.
The target remains Xia Yan's neck.
Esdeath is clearly someone who likes to get back up wherever she falls.
Moreover, even though she knew that Xia Yan's purpose in coming here was to become her subordinate, she still showed no mercy when launching the attack, not at all worried that if she couldn't catch or dodge the kick, she would kill the person.
After all, in her mind, if you want to receive preferential treatment, you have to face more severe tests.
However, Esdeath's attack naturally did not escape Xia Yan's eyes.
Putting aside the fact that he had already predicted Esdeath's next move based on her previous attacks.
The sheer speed of the attack, which seemed to him like a slow-motion performance in a movie, gave him ample time to react and devise a strategy.
Chapter 216 Like a Pervert
Faced with Esdeath's unrestrained attacks, this time Xia Yanbing did not choose to dodge.
Instead, after determining the location of Esdeath's attack, she extended her right palm outward and placed it against her neck.
boom--
A dull voice sounded.
It was less a physical collision and more like the sound of two heavily loaded trucks crashing together at full speed.
Visible ripples even appeared in the air.
Xia Yan simply bent his arm slightly and forcefully blocked Esdeath's spinning kick, then grabbed her slender ankle in his hand.
His arms trembled slightly from exerting force, but his feet didn't move an inch, making it seem like he was doing nothing at all.
Although Xia Yan didn't know any powerful defensive techniques, thanks to the Transparent World, he could clearly see the exertion process of every muscle in his body and find the most perfect way to operate.
Therefore, even without special training, their ability to deflect force far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Moreover, his own physique is extremely strong.
At least compared to Esdeath, she has an absolute advantage in strength.
The kind of person who can twist their thigh with their arm.
However, although he captured Esdeath, Xia Yan did not attack her, but simply tossed her back to her original position.
The two stood facing each other again, as if their lightning-fast battle had never happened.
Esdeath looked at Natsuhiko with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
It's important to know that it's a major taboo to have both feet off the ground unnecessarily during combat.
While this kind of self-sacrificing attack is powerful, it also exposes one's weakness.
Esdeath would never make such a mistake.
Knowing that she might be in danger, she still chose this move, which naturally stemmed from her strong self-confidence.
Esdeath was fully aware of the destructive power of her attack.
Splitting mountains and cracking rocks is no problem at all.
Even in extremely dangerous situations, being hit by her would leave someone with a limp.
When she saw Xia Yan choose to defend instead of dodge, she had already figured out what move she would use next after Xia Yan's defensive stance was broken.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yan was able to catch it with his bare hands.
Not only did it not move at all, it even had the strength to grab its own ankle!
That's why she looked surprised.
Although she possesses the ability to control ice with the Imperial Arm Demon Manifestation: "Demon Essence," she is not completely unable to resist when attacked while airborne.
However, since she had chosen to test Xia Yan's fighting skills through a physical contest, she naturally wouldn't cheat and used the power of her Imperial Arms first.
When Esdeath found herself in mid-air with her ankle grabbed by Natsuhiko, she was already prepared to take Natsuhiko's abdominal punch head-on, but she didn't expect that he would just casually throw her out.
Could it be that, like me, you enjoy the thrill of battle and therefore don't intend to end it too quickly?
Upon realizing this, Esdeath's surprise turned into fervor.
She felt her blood boiling even more.
It was as if it was setting her body and soul ablaze; her whole body trembled slightly, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.
His gaze toward Xia Yan became even more ardent, almost aggressive.
There are clear signs that he is about to have a seizure.
That indescribable, surging fighting spirit that should only exist in one's heart now seemed to materialize, making Xia Yan feel as if he were enveloped by something.
Coupled with Esdeath's eager expression, Xia Yan felt as if she wanted to devour him.
What the hell is this method of swallowing psychic pills?!
Unaware of Xia Yan's inner thoughts about her, Esdeath was summarizing the brief exchange they had just had.
Feeling the throbbing pain in my ankle,
Esdeath knew that if Xia Yan had just thought of it, he could have even caused serious damage to her joints.
After moving around a bit, I confirmed that I only had some pain, but it wasn't enough to affect my mobility.
She recalled the first attack she narrowly avoided, and the second attack that she took head-on.
"It seems your strength surpasses mine, and your distance control is also extremely precise!"
"It seems that methods like the previous ones, which aimed to end the battle with a single blow, are unlikely to be effective..."
"But that's what makes it interesting..."
Powerful, straightforward, and forceful attacks are useless against Xia Yan. His opponent can easily dodge them or defend against them by taking advantage of his distance control.
Since we can't crack it, we'll use a continuous barrage of attacks to force you to reveal a weakness!
Thinking of this, Esdeath's lips curled up into a wild smile, and she charged at Xia Yan once again.
With that expression, he looked exactly like a pervert.
She suddenly lowered her body and pushed off with her feet, shortening the distance between herself and Xia Yan as if she had teleported.
The footwork has changed from a high-explosive movement style to a lighter and more agile style, suitable for close-quarters combat.
Like raindrops, attacks rained down on Xia Yan's vital points.
Xia Yan, of course, wasn't going to be foolish enough to just stand there and take a beating.
Despite his large size and solid muscles, his physique was not bulky at all; on the contrary, it was exceptionally well-proportioned and harmonious.
Furthermore, due to the 910 physique bonus from the Lunaria race, he was even able to achieve a level of body manipulation close to that of the Imperial Fist Temple, thanks to his exceptional flexibility.
In addition, there's the White Eye and the powerful insight and predictive ability of the Transparent World.
Esdeath's every attack was dodged by Xia Yan with exquisite skill, as if the wind were searching for a goose feather.
The attacks that were impossible to dodge were all intercepted by him halfway through, losing their accuracy and power, and were unable to cause any effective damage.
"That's outrageous... With that kind of power, even an ordinary Teigu user would have no chance against Esdeath..."
Merard, watching the battle through binoculars overhead, murmured to himself in surprise as he watched Esdeath and Natsuhiko fight.
"However, even at this level, it can't do anything to Xia Yan!"
"As expected of the man I've set my sights on, he's been hiding such strength. Esdeath is like a spoiled child in front of him..."
"Huh!? Then wouldn't that mean I could have Xia Yan help me hold Esdeath down..."
"Then the three of us will go together... ah..."
Thinking of this, Merad's breathing became more rapid, an inexplicable pink blush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes became somewhat dazed.
He has clearly fallen into some kind of erotic fantasy.
Chapter 217 Esdeath Feels Happy
Smiles are conserved.
It doesn't disappear; it just moves from one person's face to another's.
For example, there's Merad, who's laughing so hard he can barely keep his legs together in the sky, and Esde, who's wearing a gloomy face in front of Xia Yan.
If Esdeath's smile just now resembled that of a pervert, her displeasure is now clearly visible on her face.
It's like picking a super-muscular guy at the gym to go to a hotel room, only to find out he's amazing at foreplay and you're all excited for a great time, only to discover he's on drugs and can't get an erection anymore.
Although the nature of the events is quite different, the feelings are probably the same.
"General Esdeath, why aren't you smiling? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"
Looking at Esdeath standing in front of him, her breathing slightly rapid and her pretty face filled with displeasure, Xia Yan asked with a smile.
"Why didn't you attack...? Was it on purpose? What a nasty personality you have..."
Esdeath's expression darkened further upon hearing Xia Yan's cheeky question.
However, Esdeath was still the Ice Queen after all. Although she was affected by Xia Yan's obvious question, she quickly recovered.
"However, being ruthless is one of the privileges of the strong. It seems you are aware of your own status."
