Kaori Karasawa's Qi could be applied to her palms, arms, legs, feet, and other body parts to increase the power of her attacks. If her opponent was hit directly on the body, even if he was able to counteract the attack, he could still suffer injuries such as tendons and veins, torn muscles, and even broken bones. Therefore, when Veigar fought with her, he had to cover his fists with the power of electricity at all times to form a glove to shatter the scattered light and deflect the tip of the blade before finally completing the clash of powers.
Lou Cheng's Ice Armor was more suitable for such battles than the Lightning Gloves, as it could effectively slow down the sharpness and ferocity of his opponent's attacks. The Flaming Gloves produced by Emperor Yan Force were similar to Thunderbolt, as they could burn the white light and explode the opponent, turning defense into offense!
If he didn't have these two supernatural abilities, he would have to be more careful and only block the non-tip of the blade. For example, he would lift his palm from the bottom up, strike his wrist from the side, or push his stance. Although that would make him look like a grandmaster, it would put him in a more passive position. If he wasn't careful, he would be injured and be forced to leave the arena.
Every time there was an explosion, sparks would fly and ice crystals would fall. Lou Cheng relied on his instinctive strength to battle Kaori Karasawa fiercely. Banging sounds reverberated in the air, arousing the passion in most of the audience and igniting their urge to vent.
Although Lou Cheng's strength, speed, and agility were slightly inferior to his opponent, there wasn't much of a difference after his physique was fully upgraded. As long as he could be patient and defend steadily, Kaori Karasawa wouldn't make any risky attempts. It would be difficult for her to break through his stance and seize the opportunity for victory. Once she did, she would also expose her weaknesses and give Lou Cheng hope of a counterattack.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
The battle was at a stalemate. Lou Cheng, who was at a disadvantage, defended steadily and integrated his Dan Stage martial arts. Kaori Karasawa, who had gained the upper hand, was similarly calm and composed, as though she was slowly chipping away at her opponent.
After a full seven to eight minutes, both of them had unavoidably used up a lot of stamina. However, Lou Cheng had the automatic replenishment of his Jindan. Apart from a slight delay in his reaction due to mental fatigue, he didn't falter in any other aspect. In stark contrast to Kaori Karasawa, he was gradually showing signs of turning the situation around.
Just then, Kaori Karasawa's right arm transformed into a glowing katana and slashed out horizontally. The moment it came into contact with the ice armor on Lou Cheng's forearm, she suddenly exerted the force in her shoulder and spun her katana around the enemy's arm to execute the Coil Formula.
Lou Cheng's arm was knocked away and his body swayed as if he was about to fall to the side.
Now was the time! Tang Zexun's eyes narrowed as she arched her back.
A sense of extreme danger flashed through Lou Cheng's mind. His ears twitched slightly and he heard a barely audible clicking sound. It was like a sniper rifle being loaded or a retractable cannon rotating!
In such a situation, his center of gravity was skewed and he couldn't jump up in time. If he squatted down or leaned back to dodge, Kaori Karasawa would definitely make a "knife" at his waist or make a quick downward slash. She wouldn't give him a chance to survive.
Apart from falling to the side, dropping his stance and rolling on the ground like a lazy donkey, Lou Cheng seemed to have no other choice.
However, he was already prepared. When the clicking sound came, he had already outlined the dark, cold, and devoid of any light or heat in his mind.
When the premonition of danger erupted, layers of thunderclouds converged instantly. High temperatures and deafening booms broke the silent darkness and chill!
Bam!
Lou Cheng lowered his left arm and swung his forearm. Following the ripples created by the ice mirror, he threw a punch from his waist.
The original version of Severe Warning!
The reason why he chose this move was because he could add layers and layers of thick ice armor. Otherwise, with the terrifying power of Flying Dragon Takedown, even if he hit his opponent and froze her thoughts, his left arm would be more or less crippled. Without one or two months of recuperation, he definitely wouldn't be able to recover it!
Just as the sparkling and translucent fist was about to strike out, a ray of light suddenly flashed and slashed at the surface of Lou Cheng's fist, colliding head-on with it, giving it no chance to react at all.
After the ray of light, the air was split into two and condensed into airwaves. Light converged and dyed the air white, just like the scene after a jet plane swept past!
Boom!
A loud bang erupted, setting off a violent "wind wave" that slapped at Lou Cheng, "shaking" his earlobe and ear gauge.
Bam!
Lou Cheng couldn't hear the sound of the thick ice armor on his left fist shattering, but he could feel the terrifying force on his body. It was as though he had been hit by a high-speed train. His arm was numb and numb, his muscles swollen and cracked, and his tendons and veins were in sharp pain.
Creak!
He couldn't stop himself from retreating. His feet rubbed against the ground, leaving two obvious marks that looked like ravines!
Pfft! Lou Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood. His left arm was trembling, and he couldn't exert any strength. A bone-deep wound appeared on his fist.
The power of one slash was earth-shattering!
The terrifying power of Flying Dragon Takedown was so exaggerated!
In the live thread, everyone's reaction was even more exaggerated. They exclaimed almost simultaneously,
"F * ck, he blocked Flying Dragon Takedown!"
"I, Zhao Ritian, am in awe …"
"He actually took Flying Dragon Takedown head-on, and he did it!"
"What a f * cking beast."
"Sky Shattering Roar, no problem!"
In a few of Japan's big forums, there were similar astonishment.
"He predicted Flying Dragon Takedown?"
"He made a prediction with his body and blocked Flying Dragon Takedown. I think I saw a demonic beast …"
"No, that's Ultraman!"
"This is Kaori-chan's first time being blocked by someone's Flying Dragon Takedown, right?"
"Even though he doesn't have a blade, he would still die if Kaori-chan's Flying Dragon Takedown landed a direct hit on his body. Even if he's a monster who has cultivated Qi, he would still be seriously injured and need a few months to recover. How dare he block it so boldly …"
…
Amidst the wind and waves, Kaori Karasawa stood in place. Her left arm was trembling non-stop, covered in a layer of white frost. Her beautiful eyes had lost their luster, and she seemed to be in a daze.
Severe Warning, knocking on Heart Questioning Sect!
Lou Cheng couldn't be bothered to check his own body. He endured his injuries, took a deep breath, and gathered his force, spirit, and various other uncomfortable feelings to balance the ice and fire and form a Dan.
Boom!
His Dan Qi gushed out. Lou Cheng's legs expanded. He bent his knees and straightened them, propelling him forward and pouncing towards his opponent, whose clothes had turned into short sleeves.
Drip, drip, drip. From the cracked ground to Kaori Karasawa's front, the dripping blood and sweat could only be found at the ends of his head and tail. It was a testament to the speed and ferocity of his leap!
Bam!
The muscles and skin on Lou Cheng's left fist contracted, stopping the bleeding. Shaking his right arm, he clenched his fist and hammered down diagonally.
With a whoosh, his fist burned with a layer of crimson, almost white flames.
Emperor Yan Force!
In order to seize the opportunity, Lou Cheng didn't prepare the Fighting Formula, Army Formula, or Simplified Physical Invulnerability Formula!
At this moment, Kaori Karasawa's eyes were still in a daze, making the otakus from Japan feel sorry for her. However, her body had already reacted naturally. She swung her right arm backward, drawing a razor-like white glow, slashing right into the raging flames.
Eye of the Heart!
Boom!
The force exploded, sending waves of flames tumbling. Kaori Karasawa's black hair was disheveled in the wind. Her body was pushed back by the shockwave and she staggered backwards.
It was only then that her eyes regained their luster!
Lou Cheng swung his right arm and bounced back. His hands formed a seal in front of him, pointing at himself.
His expression suddenly turned solemn as he outlined the words in his mind. He bellowed,
"Fighting!"
His muscles expanded, showcasing the beauty of strength. They intertwined, protruding veins of varying sizes. Lou Cheng stretched his back and threw out his right fist in an extremely barbaric manner.
Bam!
The punch pierced through the air, propelling his body forward rapidly. He closed the distance between them and approached Kaori Karasawa's abdomen.
Kaori Karasawa's heart suddenly emptied. It was as if she had returned to that quiet Zen hall, back to the time when she was focused on arranging flowers and making tea. Her eyes shone and her clothes suddenly swelled up like a balloon that had been filled.
Bam! Her left palm formed a blade and slashed out with a slash. Her clothes suddenly shriveled and clung to her body.
Xinzhai Sect, Kasaya Takedown!
Bam!
Her tiny muscles and veins bulged, forming an extreme contrast with the flickering glow on her fair palm.
The Fighting Formula was incomparably violent. In the blink of an eye, Kaori Karasawa was sent stumbling backward. Although her body was light, her legs were heavy, leaving several footprints in the ground. Lou Cheng's body swayed. Immediately, he gathered his Qi and blood, exploded his Dan Force, and pounced forward again, not leaving a single gap!
Seeing that her enemy was already in front of her before she could regain her footing, Kaori Karasawa's body emitted a soft cracking sound. This time, it was more obvious than the Flying Dragon Takedown and ended faster.
Bam!
She pulled her right arm out in front of her and swung her fist diagonally. It was so fast that it left afterimages, leaving a trail of light as it broke through the air current.
The weakened version of Flying Dragon Takedown, Flying Bird Takedown!
It required faster preparation before striking, but its speed was correspondingly much weaker. The same went for its power!
However, Kaori Karasawa combined them into a terrifying killer move. With that, she achieved a burst of output in a short period of time and defeated Veigar.
That was the combo of Flying Bird Takedown, Triple Return of Swallows!
Lou Cheng knew that this was a critical moment. His lunging momentum halted abruptly. Expanding his right arm, he swung it quickly and threw out a punch.
Bam!
Fist and palm collided, creating a deafening sound in the air. Lou Cheng had just used the momentum to pull back when he heard a cracking sound. He saw Kaori Karasawa's left arm striking out in quick succession. It was just as fast, just as ruthless, and just as covered in white light!
Bam! He forcefully exploded the Force in his left shoulder and swung his arm. Finally recovering from the loss of consciousness, he spread his fingers and grabbed at the enemy's palm blade.
Whoosh! Amidst the sharp scraping sound, Kaori Karasawa's left palm sank and her right arm struck again. It was still a Reverse Chop, and it was still dragging out air waves!
Triple Return of Swallows!
Lou Cheng didn't have time to perform Force Concentration. He could only rely on the senses of Ice Mirror to raise his arm and block hastily.
Bam! His arm trembled and bounced away. His Ice Armor shattered inch by inch and his fascia was injured. However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
He managed to block Kaori Karasawa's Triple Return of Swallows!
That combo had taken a lot out of her and put a heavy burden on her. This should be enough to turn the tide of the battle, right?
At this moment, Kaori Karasawa's eyes were filled with pain. Her left palm that was caught by Lou Cheng suddenly bounced up and broke through the air barrier with a cracking sound. It was so fast that it left afterimages behind.
Xinzhai Sect's forbidden move, Quadruple Return of Swallows!
Even though Lou Cheng's Ice Mirror reflected it, his reflexes couldn't keep up. Just as he raised his left arm, his opponent's palm had already stopped right in front of his throat!
The referee's eyes were filled with admiration. He raised his hand and announced,
"Kaori Karasawa wins!"
Lou Cheng instantly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. Kaori Karasawa bent over and panted heavily. She had actually forgotten the most important etiquette in Japan.
Quadruple Return of Swallows wasn't a move that was easy to withstand. It was the same for both the opponent and herself!
Masa Otake, a researcher from the Japanese delegation, was looking at the blood on the stage. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to pounce on it.
Kaori-chan, Kaori-chan, go step on it and bring it back!
After Kaori Karasawa had caught her breath, Lou Cheng exchanged a bow with her. He then shook his head and turned to walk down the stone steps.
Along the way, he remembered the leader's instructions to not leave a single drop of blood or sweat behind. Hence, he took a detour and walked two more steps.
When his back view descended the stone steps, the blood on the ground spontaneously combusted and swayed unsteadily.
Masa Otake's smile froze on her face.
