Xu Le stared at her clenched fist hanging by his waist. The muscles on his back contracted until he felt a burning pain. His mind was highly focused, but his reply did not stop at all. He said mockingly, "Idiot. That lunatic locked you and me up because he's just a mentally ill middle-aged artistic man trying to influence history and get rid of the delusion of war. If I die, he'll lock you up for life, because the effect is the same as locking us up alive. "
With a loud thud, the only light pear blossom table in the room finally shattered into countless pieces. Huai Caoshi stared at the large crater under her feet and the reflection of the cold alloy at the bottom of the crater. She clenched her fists tightly in anger.
At this moment, she should have already boarded a battleship and left Planet Tianjing, rushing towards the border star regions at the fastest speed possible to lead her most loyal mecha division subordinates to battle the Federation's army. However, she was now imprisoned by a lunatic and was unable to escape. Furthermore, she was forced to be locked up together with a great enemy of the Federation. What made her feel the most humiliated and furious was that her lunatic uncle had actually thought of such a disgusting and filthy idea.
Because of one thought, countless thoughts were born. She clenched her fists tightly and stared at Xu Le with narrowed eyes, not listening to his analysis.
Xu Le's eyes gradually narrowed, feeling the oppressive feeling in the cell that made it harder and harder to breathe. Facing a powerful opponent that was gradually approaching, although he was not completely fearless, he maintained his normal tone and expression, even calmer than usual.
"There's only the two of us in this cell. If you kill me, you'll only have a cold corpse to keep you company. That won't be a good feeling," he suggested in a seemingly serious manner.
"I've seen many corpses since I was very young," Huai Caoping said indifferently as she raised her chin slightly and took a step forward.
"But you don't have the experience of cleaning up corpses." Xu Le replied, "The current temperature is suitable for people to take a walk by the river, but it's not suitable for keeping corpses. Corpses will rot in a very short time. Hmm … have you seen a giant? That's when the internal organs of a corpse are inflated after they rot. "
He gestured a certain distance with his hands and said seriously, "When the time comes, my leg will be swollen like this, the veins on it will be exposed, and the black and smelly blood will flow everywhere …"
Huai Caoshi waved her hand to stop him from explaining in detail. With a hint of mockery, she replied, "Do you think I'm one of those noble ladies who run in the foggy forest holding up their skirts and screaming when they see little rabbits?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Le said, "No, it's just that based on our interactions these days, I'm sure … you have mysophobia."
Huai Caoshi's eyes narrowed even more. She stared at him for a long time without saying anything. She was like a powerful god whose halo had suddenly been dispelled, revealing her most fatal weakness.
"If I kill you, even if my uncle continues to lock me up, I think he will take your body away and burn it to ashes or feed it to the dogs."
Her voice was still calm, but the meaning of her words was gradually becoming more and more vicious. It was probably because Xu Le had seen through her mysophobia, which made her very angry.
"If you haven't forgotten, I've just destroyed all the surveillance equipment in this room, leaving only a one-way light screen." Xu Le used two fingers to hold a few data cables and patiently tried to persuade her.
"The surveillance is broken, but I still have to deliver food. If I don't take it, the outside will naturally know there's a problem."
"What problem? We're on a hunger strike? I believe that the crazy Great Teacher has a very high judgment of our survival ability. He won't pay attention to us for a few days, and these few days are enough for my body to rot into a pile of rotten meat full of flies and maggots crawling everywhere. "
Xu Le's narrowed eyes gradually relaxed, and a bright light appeared in his pupils. He smiled as he described the various filthy and tragic scenes after his death, but he didn't feel disgusted at all.
"And I have to remind you, everyone knows your ability. As long as you're in the cell, who in the Great Teacher Fan Manor would dare to open the cell door and drag my body out?"
By this time, this conversation about the speed of decomposition and the princess' mysophobia had been going on. Huai Caoshi had already walked in front of Xu Le. The woman's face, which could be considered pretty, flashed with a coldness. A powerful and suffocating aura rushed out, seeming to make the thick alloy walls of the cell shake uneasily.
Under this kind of violent pressure and the threat of death, Xu Le's face finally turned slightly pale. Soon after, his incomparably tyrannical expression turned calm. His narrowed eyes became brighter, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Whoosh!
Huai Caoshi's expression was cold. She lowered her waist, raised her elbow, and smashed her right fist toward Xu Le's face without any fancy moves.
However, it was this simple punch that seemed to have smashed a hole in the air, a hollow. Endless gushing power followed this passage that had been created out of nothing, and rushed toward Xu Le's cheek. In an instant, a strong wind blew, blowing until the eyelashes on Xu Le's single eyelid couldn't stop trembling.
Xu Le's right hand was also trembling. His entire body was trembling, but naturally, it wasn't because of fear.
Huai Caoshi's pupils violently constricted in the next moment, because she found that her powerful fist was blocked by a wall.
It was a thick and solid wall that was constantly trembling and moving. Every time it trembled, it absorbed a little of her strength and weakened it a little. That strange repulsive force made her feel a faint sense of fear for the first time in her life.
The wall was Xu Le's hands that were blocking in front of her face.
His right hand twisted, sticking close to Huai Caoshi's right wrist, and then like a sharp blade, it slid over.
Where the palm arrived, the military uniform on Huai Caoshi's right arm was peeled off piece by piece, and amidst sizzling noises, it turned into countless soft pieces of tattered cloth.
Huai Caoshi's pupils constricted. She sensed that the palm contained a power that didn't seem to be inferior to her own, and endless doubts appeared in her heart. She didn't understand how this Federation man in front of her could become so much more powerful than before after disappearing for more than half a year.
Right now, there was no time for this imperial princess who had never lost before to think. She narrowed her eyes, capturing that palm that was as fast as lightning in front of her. Her right shoulder suddenly pushed back, and instead of retreating, she pushed forward!
Almost at the same time, her left hand formed a semicircle around her waist, and the knuckle of her middle finger fiercely and incomparably sharply smashed down towards the empty space in front of her!
As expected.
If her sharp strike didn't hit that point in the air, then Xu Le's tyrannical palm blade would've quietly left her right arm in a semicircle and chopped at her neck.
However, there were no ifs, and there were no buts.
Her sharp strike directly hit Xu Le's originally unfathomable sneak attack, and fiercely struck his wrist, emitting a bone-chilling sound of collision.
Xu Le had indeed successfully fooled her after pretending to be weak for such a long time, and he had found the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack. However, even under such a dangerous situation, her mind still didn't waver in the slightest. Just like how the spirits in the forest could smell the scent of smoke from a thousand miles away, she could also smell the hidden danger from who knows where. Moreover, she didn't hesitate to smash down towards that most dangerous spot!
Schemes and tricks, opportunistic techniques, they were all existences of nothingness in front of powerful strength. Difficult knots couldn't block the king's sword, and fatal dangers couldn't block the empire's princess's smash.
The smash that seemed to be a gamble actually reflected Huai Caoshi's astonishing combat strength and experience. This could only be attributed to talent, just like the similar talents that Xu Le and Madman Li had. No one could imitate or learn from them.
The two most powerful young people in the empire and the Federation were silently engaged in a life and death struggle in this strange prison cell. They were not like beasts, but more like machines.
After missing her attack, Huai Caoshi unreasonably took another step forward. Her right hand moved like lightning along Xu Le's left arm, and her thumb pressed down on the vital point below his ear. Her left arm turned into an iron rod, and with a gust of wind, she followed Xu Le's palm and struck below his ribs.
If this strike landed, who knew how many of Xu Le's ribs would be broken. It was even more likely that the alveoli in his lungs would be shattered in an instant!
However, after all, she was facing Xu Le, the Xu Le who had experienced the miserable experience of having all of his meridians shattered. Through his powerful willpower, he was resurrected and even improved. She was facing Xu Le who also possessed talent that others couldn't hope to match. She was facing Xu Le who, for the first time, fought with the mentality of a weakling in a head-on battle. Moreover, she was going against her nature and using countless words and expressions to confuse the enemy … Xu Le.
The ten stances that Uncle Feng Yu had taught him since he was young had long been integrated into his blood. His bones had become an inseparable part of his muscle memory. He had found an extremely rare opportunity, an opportunity that could possibly defeat the insufferably arrogant Huai Caoshi. All of his spirit and strength were mobilized. All of his muscle fibers were crazily squeezing and rubbing together …
He never thought that he could knock down Huai Caoshi in one strike. He even predicted that Huai Caoshi would be able to avoid his hidden second strike. As a result, his brain didn't go through this process at all. He directly relied on his intuition and instincts to suddenly raise his left knee and push it against the inside of his opponent's thigh. At the same time, his right arm that had just swung out horizontally behind his shoulder, avoiding his opponent's right arm and smashing towards Huai Caoshi's forehead!
…
…
Huai Caoshi fell. This was the first time in her dazzling and undefeated battle career that she had fallen.
In the final moment when life and death were about to be decided, or perhaps it was better to say in the instant when both of them perished together, her left arm forcefully shifted the angle of attack, smashing into the edge of Xu Le's treacherous right knee. Then, she inconceivably raised her arm like lightning, blocking Xu Le's right arm under her armpit. However, she couldn't stop her opponent's berserk strength, breaking who knew how many of her ribs that were of the same thickness as a normal person's …
Her body fell heavily into the crater on the ground. The muffled sound shook up a few strands of inconspicuous dust. However, she immediately supported her body and maintained a sitting position. Blood seeped out from the corners of her lips. She stared at the Federation man not far away with unprecedented vigilance and killing intent.
That Federation man also fell. From the looks of it, his injuries weren't any lighter than hers. However, for some reason, when Huai Caoshi saw that fellow leaning against the wall and coughing out blood nonstop, she felt the true meaning of the word 'terrifying' for the first time in her life.
It wasn't just because he was already quite powerful to begin with. Now, he was even more powerful than before. Instead, it was because in this short and dangerous battle, this Federation man exuded a cold feeling of indifference towards life and death.
