As the trump card of the Xinzhai Sect, the Flying Dragon Takedown's greatest strength wasn't its speed or agility, but its lack of prior warning, making it impossible to predict. If one were to rely solely on Absolute Reaction, by the time they noticed it, it would already be too late to dodge or parry.
With this sword move, the Xinzhai Sect was firmly seated as the number one swordsmanship in Japan. No one could shake their position. They were even on par with the likes of Amaterasu Shrine and Yakusha Zen Temple. They were one of the major powers that ruled over Japan, not something the Ultimate Hadou Sect, which had only risen to fame in recent decades, could compare to. Of course, the Ultimate Hadou Sect, which was able to climb all the way to the top in terms of combat strength, wasn't weak either.
Logically speaking, the Flying Dragon Takedown shouldn't have regained its former glory in modern society. You lack prior warning? That's fine. I can find fifty or even a hundred battle videos of the Flying Dragon Takedown and replay them frame by frame. I'm sure I can find something useful, right?
However, logic was one thing. Ever since the introduction of the video function, no one had discovered the signs of the Flying Dragon Takedown. Perhaps someone had already discovered it, but kept it a secret, intending to keep it as a trump card against the Xinzhai Sect. Lou Cheng, on the other hand, had only been exposed to relevant videos since the start of the King of Youth League. It had been at most ten days since then, so how could he have discovered his opponent's secret?
Unlike Veigar, he hadn't distanced himself from the Flying Dragon Takedown for two reasons. Firstly, he wasn't strong enough, and his footwork hadn't reached an unbelievable level. Even if he were to engage in a skirmish battle, he would quickly fall into Kaori Karasawa's rhythm. Secondly, he was confident that he could detect it in advance and evade it with his amazing premonition of danger.
Who knew that when the time came, he would still be dodging awkwardly. Although he had detected it in advance, the speed of the Flying Dragon Takedown had exceeded his expectations. That slash seemed to have created the illusion of a hypersonic barrier!
When Kaori Karasawa was at the level of a Physical Invulnerability expert and wielded a specially forged Legendary Weapon, it wasn't impossible for her to reach that level!
Boom!
The shockwave from the Flying Dragon Takedown expanded to both sides, stirring up a violent gust of wind. It was so strong that it almost blew Lou Cheng off his feet. At this moment, the Ice Mirror in his mind naturally reflected Kaori Karasawa, who was a few centimeters away. She retracted her trembling right arm, her sleeves fluttering like butterflies, revealing a section of her fair skin. It was obvious that she was carrying a heavy burden and would need some time to recover before she could continue her attack.
However, Kaori Karasawa's left leg had tensed up and her knee was bent. She was about to kick one of the legs that supported her entire body.
She had learned her lesson from the previous incident. She would not allow Lou Cheng to take advantage of the situation and lift her leg. She wanted him to bend down and never come back!
Pa!
While Kaori Karasawa straightened her knee and kicked out with her left leg, Lou Cheng controlled his center of gravity and continued to lean backwards. His waist and back bent again, he straightened his left leg and turned it into a soft whip. He whipped it up from the bottom, standing on one leg and not swaying at all!
Bang! The tip of her foot hit the instep, setting off a burst of sparks. The remnants of her martial arts shoes were torn into pieces and Lou Cheng's lift was interrupted.
Extending his left leg, Lou Cheng wanted to use the momentum to straighten his back and stand up again. However, Kaori Karasawa was prepared. Just as her left leg was about to land on the ground, she tightened her muscles and straightened her spine. She leaped into the air and launched a series of kicks with her right leg, aiming for the opponent's only support point.
In this situation, if Lou Cheng tried to stand up, he would not be able to exert any strength. Even with the Ice Armor on his right leg, he would inevitably suffer some damage. This would cause him to limp for the rest of the battle and not be able to contend against an opponent who was stronger than him. However, if he tried to block with his leg, he would lose his final support point and completely lose his stance!
At this critical juncture, Lou Cheng's mind was as calm as an ice lake or a round mirror. Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He gave up on the idea of straightening his body and fell backwards even more violently.
With this fall, he supported himself with both hands and did a backflip. Taking advantage of the momentum, his right leg struck Kaori Karasawa's foot with a crisp sound, forcefully causing her to deviate from her original trajectory and fall to the side.
With a backflip, Lou Cheng steadied himself and met his opponent who was closing in on him again.
At this moment, Kaori Karasawa's arm had recovered. She slashed with her twin blades, splitting the air and striking at five different spots on her opponent. In the eyes of the audience, the condensed white light seemed to form a constellation.
Lou Cheng flexed his joints, stretched his fascia, and used explosive force to hold his ground. He fought and fought with his opponent at the same time, almost circling the entire arena. Loud bangs rang out one after another, stirring up the emotions of the audience and making their blood boil!
Amidst the continuous explosions of flames, frost, and white light, Lou Cheng tried to find an opportunity to use Severe Warning and Internal Explosion Punch. He also tried to use Army Formula and Fighting Formula. However, Kaori Karasawa's Mind's Eye was strong. Once she sensed a change in her opponent's rhythm, or by retreating, she would have sufficient time to prepare. She would avoid the front, attack from the back, or attack from the side, making it impossible for Lou Cheng to succeed.
Compared to Veigar, Mouko Yamashita, and the rest, this beautiful girl who only appeared once every three thousand years had a stronger mental cultivation. Her fighting style was also gentler. She knew when to yield and when not to attack and when not to dodge.
This gave Lou Cheng a deeper understanding of the details of the battle between Peng Leyun and Ren Li two days ago. They rarely used Simplified Physical Invulnerability or other secret arts. Most of the time, they relied on normal moves, their own force, and Dan stage explosive force to fight. It wasn't that they didn't want to use them, but that they didn't have the opportunity. If they forced it, they would expose their flaws and give their opponent a chance to take advantage of.
With this knowledge, he completely suppressed the impatience in his heart and fought more steadily. Moves such as "Snow Cover", "Ice Burning", "Cold Bite", "Aurora", and other moves were used one by one at the right time. Sometimes, he used them together with "Force Concentration". The more he fought, the more refined his moves became. In the end, he even felt like he could use them at will.
At most, we'll just compete on stamina!
Kaori Karasawa's sharp senses detected this and was prepared to interrupt her opponent's transformation.
After two moves, ripples suddenly appeared in Lou Cheng's heart. He had a strong premonition of danger.
At the same time as the ripples appeared, he vaguely heard an almost inaudible cracking sound.
Not good!
His Qi and blood retracted abruptly. Along with his body, he curled up into a ball.
Just as he crouched down, Kaori Karasawa pulled her left arm out from her waist, leaving afterimages and parting the air!
A ray of light flashed and a white airwave formed. Loud booms erupted at the same time, setting off violent sound waves and strong winds in all directions.
Flying Dragon Takedown again!
His scalp went numb and his ears vibrated. Lou Cheng's Dan Force exploded like a volcano erupting, propping up his entire body. His muscles bulged with strength.
Twisting his muscles, tendons, and veins were all exposed. He bounced up, clenching his right fist, half charging and half pounding.
At this moment, the audience felt as though they were witnessing a trapped dragon rising to the heavens, or the launch of a rocket!
Kaori Karasawa's right palm formed a knife and chopped down at the right time. With a floating glow, it landed squarely on the surface of his greenish-black fist.
Bam!
Her left arm trembled. Unable to withstand Lou Cheng's all-out attack in her hasty parry, her body swayed backwards. She decided to take advantage of the situation and retreat. Her steps were nimble and her posture nimble.
Lou Cheng wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by. While the empty front row of spectators suffered a crack from the missed Flying Dragon Takedown, he raised his hands, formed a seal, and outlined an ancient character.
"Alright!"
His silhouette shot out like lightning, leaving two distinct footprints on the ground. He closed the distance between him and Kaori Karasawa in an instant.
Seeing her opponent's face clear in an instant, the smell of his sweat wafting into her nose and the sound of his breathing entering her ears, Kaori Karasawa didn't panic. She raised her right arm again and chopped straight ahead!
Whoosh! Amidst the ear-piercing friction, Lou Cheng stopped abruptly. His feet created layers of spider webs as his body stopped an arm's length away.
At this distance, Kaori Karasawa's "knife" was bound to miss. Then, she would have to endure Lou Cheng's frenzied attacks.
However, her eyes suddenly lit up. Her right palm that cut through the air released a bright white glow.
Bam!
With one chop, the air between her and Lou Cheng was completely destroyed. In an instant, the air surged wildly to both sides, creating an area with very low air pressure!
Xinzhai Sect, Vacuum Takedown!
Lou Cheng felt a terrifying suction force from the area in front of him. He couldn't help but stumble forward. All he could hear was the sound of the wind swirling around him.
Kaori Karasawa's follow-up moves came one after another. She tensed her left leg and chopped out horizontally. Dragging a razor-like white light, she whipped her opponent who was leaning forward!
Lou Cheng adjusted his muscles in time, channeling the accumulated inertia into his leg. It was the same whip, but with a different luster.
Crack!
The layer of ice shattered. In his haste to block, he was evenly matched with his opponent.
However, being evenly matched meant that he wasn't able to take advantage of his opponent's opening. The battle reverted back to the previous situation. Kaori Karasawa used her hands and legs as knives and displayed her swordsmanship to the fullest, forcing Lou Cheng to take a defensive stance. There was no time for him to use the Nine Words Formula or Simplified Physical Invulnerability.
Furthermore, she could vaguely sense that her opponent could predict her Flying Dragon Takedown. She didn't dare to blindly attack again. Instead, she waited patiently for an opportunity, an opportunity where her opponent couldn't dodge and could only take it head-on.
Lou Cheng was waiting too. He felt that the almost inaudible cracking sound was the movement of compressing force, bones, tendons, and muscles. It was most likely the precursor to the Flying Dragon Takedown.
With this and his premonition of danger, it seemed like he could try to use Simplified Physical Invulnerability to take the Flying Dragon Takedown head-on. Through an intense collision, he could create an opportunity like just now!
Bam, bam, bam! The sounds of collisions continued. Both parties seemed to have calmed down and were fighting with unusual patience.
They were both waiting.
