The most deadly thing is that Yato didn't use the Tempest Kick technique in every kick, but instead would occasionally launch a surprise attack on Izumi, leaving the latter defenseless.
The two sides chased each other while the other dodged.
The first floor of this banquet hall is quite spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people for a dance party or banquet.
But for fighters like Yato and Izumi Hatsumi...
It only takes a second or two to run a lap around the wall.
The two moved swiftly through the banquet hall, leaving behind afterimages.
Like some kind of violent machine, wherever it went, the ground cracked and flew away. Some decorations were swept down by the blast wave and shattered before they even hit the ground. The audience on the second floor watched with dry mouths and trembling hearts, as if the air in front of them was filled with invisible but real swords and shadows that could kill people!
They now understood why the young man had driven the audience to the second floor.
If we don't come up here, we won't even know how we died!
……
Chu Jianquan had a headache.
My overall physical abilities should theoretically be superior to my opponent's. Needless to say, my experience goes without saying, and my fighting skills are evident from previous battles, which also show that I am stronger.
However, the stronger party is now being suppressed and beaten.
It wasn't for any other reason than the opponent's unpredictable kicking technique.
"It's no longer a matter of mastering or applying technology... It's a matter of technique suppressing technique, a qualitative suppression...!"
Izumi Hatsukoi, who came to this conclusion, felt a great sense of irony.
He combines the strengths of ancient Jujutsu and Aikido, and created a new type of Aikido based on the principle of "seven strikes and three extremities". He is a "master" who ranks among the highest level in contemporary times in terms of skill research.
But they were utterly and irrationally crushed by someone in terms of skill.
The pinnacle of kicking technique.
Although that's what the young man in front of me calls himself.
But in Izumi's eyes, it was as if he was competing against a completely different skill. Compared to the skill he had mastered, it was not that he lacked refinement or profundity. Compared to the opponent's skill, it was like cold weapons against firearms.
Although they both have the ability to kill each other, they are not the same thing at all.
"No! Cheer up! If I lose to another fighter, how am I supposed to defeat the strongest fighter in history? Only him... I must defeat him!"
In Izumi's eyes at first glance, Yato's figure seemed to overlap with another monstrous figure, and her expression became extremely solemn, with a do-or-die spirit brewing in her heart.
His time is running out.
A chest wound is no joke; even someone with a constitution far exceeding that of an average person can lose the ability to move due to excessive blood loss.
Looking at the other person, they still appeared to be full of energy.
How can the differences between people be so great?
The thought flashed through my mind.
It was as if he was daydreaming.
But Izumi's movements became even faster than before!
He slapped away Yato's low kick with a palm strike, lowered his center of gravity like a matador, rushed into Yato's arms, used his body as cover, and smashed Yato's ribs with a hammer-like punch.
This can be described as a very heavy and critical blow.
But upon first encountering it, Chu Jianquan sensed something was amiss.
so hard!
"Iron block... Iron mountain lean!"
Yato let out a low growl.
Every muscle in his body tensed up, becoming tough and hard.
The Iron Block, as one of the Six Styles, has the disadvantage of not being able to move when used. However, this is only due to the principle. Just because one's subjective consciousness cannot move it does not mean that the body will not move.
Before activating [Iron Block], he was charging forward.
The power of a kicking motion requires the use of the whole body's strength. Although the kicking action is disrupted, this power does not disappear.
Yato, like a bull, rammed heavily into Izumi's arms, using his shoulders as the main point of force.
Clang!
The two of them happened to be not far from the window.
The impact shattered the window and the surrounding wall stones!
"spring!"
"Yato!"
"President!"
"Oops……!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
This is the 27th floor of the Nogi Hotel.
What's outside is self-evident...
Chapter 66
"Wow, what a magnificent view!"
Hibiki Sakura lay contentedly on a beach chair, with the water park right in front of her. The rich water vapor rushed towards her, and the parasols overhead shielded her from the scorching sun, making her feel incredibly refreshed.
The fatigue that had accumulated over the years vanished in that moment.
“I said, Xiang, you should at least come down and swim for a while, instead of just lying there eating shaved ice.”
Splash! Covered in water, Ayaka Uehara swam up to Hibiki, lay down on the edge of the pool, and looked at her helplessly.
"But I'm already very tired from swimming."
The cries of anguish echoed throughout the land.
"You were probably just too tired from playing, weren't you?"
Caiyexiang's head was covered in black lines.
"Hehehe... There's nothing I can do about it, the public swimming pool doesn't have that many fun entertainment facilities."
Xiang gave an awkward laugh.
"But it's a good thing you managed to win a free invitation to Nogi Hotel. The service here is truly exceptional; it's my first time in a place like this." Ayaka rested her chin on her arm, her legs restlessly splashing the water.
The open-air water park where they were located is one of the leisure facilities of the Nogi Hotel. It is built between two high-rise buildings and looks like a huge 'H' from the front of the building, with the water park in the very center.
Not only are the facilities luxurious, but the location is also superb.
You can easily take in the panoramic view of the city from the poolside, especially at night when the lights come on, making it a uniquely beautiful and dreamlike place.
They were able to come to such an upscale place as students because Hibiki had a stroke of luck yesterday when she dined at a confectionery shop under the Nogi Group and won a free hotel voucher, which was even a family set meal for three.
Xiang simply pulled two of her best friends along to bolster her courage.
There was nothing she could do; this kind of place, which was obviously only for the wealthy, made her feel quite uncomfortable. But if she were with friends, it would be a different story!
"By the way, what's wrong with Zhu Mei? She seems distracted. Has something been bothering you lately?"
Ayaka suddenly noticed a black-haired girl sitting by the pool in a daze, holding a phone wrapped in a waterproof bag, and voiced her question.
“Zhu Mei…” Hibiki scratched his cheek, his expression rather strange, “How should I put it, it’s obvious at a glance, isn’t it? That girl is in love.”
"what?!"
Ayaka was shocked.
He immediately became interested.
"Is he from another school? Oh, sorry, I made a stupid mistake, I forgot we're an all-girls school. Anyway, let's not worry about that for now. What kind of person is he?"
"It's hard to say. Although the first impression was not bad, strictly speaking, we only met once. Zhu Mei and I went to a bar recommended by Mr. Jie Xiong a while ago and ran into a little trouble. Then he came to our rescue, and it was at that time that Zhu Mei took a liking to him."
Xiang shrugged.
"No way... could this be the legendary love at first sight?"
Ayaka swallowed hard.
"Well, I don't really object to Zhu Mei dating him, but the problem is that we haven't spoken since that meeting. It's hard to say whether Zhu Mei can even be considered a friend, let alone date him."
Haha, Hibiki laughed helplessly.
"Hey, isn't this a bit too naive? Don't you even have their contact information?"
Caiyexiang felt that her eyes had been opened.
"Yes, but Zhu Mei just doesn't have the courage to call. Look at that expression... it's like she's going to her execution. I don't know how long it will take her to make up her mind. I just hope the ending isn't too bad. If even a perfect superhuman like Zhu Mei's first love ends badly, I'm afraid I'll lose faith in love."
Xiang sighed.
“That’s true…” Ayaka echoed with a sense of agreement, then her attention shifted elsewhere. “By the way, you still haven’t told me what kind of person he is? To make Akemi take a liking to him at first sight, he must be a top-tier, refreshingly handsome guy, right?”
"Well……"
"What's wrong, Xiang? You look so strange."
"No, I was wondering. Now that you mention it, I remembered Zhu Mei's preferences. But... although she's quite good-looking, in my opinion, she's closer to the 'fierce' type than the 'refreshing' type?"
Hibiki tapped his chin with his finger, pondered for a moment, and gave an uncertain answer.
"Huh? What do you mean by 'violent type'? Do you mean delinquents?"
Ayaka couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"No, no, no, he's much more ferocious than a delinquent. If I had to describe him, he'd be more like Takane, right?" Hibiki quickly waved his hand to explain, trying his best to describe his impression of Yato.
"Multiple roots? Do people like that really exist in real life?"
Ayaka opened her eyes wide.
The "Duogen" they were talking about was the protagonist of an American blockbuster, a mercenary who traveled from the future to the past. He was powerful, had a strong sense of justice, and was a burly man who was over two meters tall and whose arms were thicker than an average person's thighs.
He can carry a Gatling gun with one hand, a rocket launcher on his shoulder, and fight his way through the entire battlefield alone amidst a hail of bullets!
He is a tough guy character who takes individual heroism to the extreme.
Whether it's the sound, the color, or the fragrance, they are all fans of Duogen.
However, as a fan, Ayaka knows that such a plot cannot happen in reality. Regardless of the time-travel background, the individual combat power is just too unfair.
"So it's just a metaphor, nothing more!"
Xiang seemed to realize that he had exaggerated, and his face flushed slightly.
"I mean, the other person has a kind of aura similar to that of a movie protagonist, a very special attraction that makes people feel that he is very strong and reliable, and that nothing can defeat him... Just like, if the roof explodes now, he can jump off the roof and escape smoothly, while also taking out one enemy after another."
"Hey, hey, what you're saying is way too much..."
Ayaka squinted, her eyes half-closed, before she could finish speaking.
--boom!
Suddenly, a loud splashing sound came from behind.
It looked like something heavy had fallen from the sky and crashed into the pool.
Water splashed up more than ten meters high.
Even Ayaka and Hibiki, who were on the shore, were soaked by the 'wave'.
Chapter 67
At this moment, the banquet hall was in complete chaos.
There are quite a few accidents in the Kengan ring, but this is the first time they have seen someone fall from a building during a fight like this.
