"This guy … is so annoying …" Oda Ai grumbled in frustration after her nth successful attack.
Bunny Bug's amazing dodging ability and the fact that it could not be killed no matter how hard she tried to hit it made Oda Ai feel like she could cut through water with her sword.
However, she did not dare to stop her attacks because her combat instincts told her that she could not stop suppressing Bunny Bug. If she gave Bunny Bug a chance to fight back, the situation would be very bad.
"Ai …" Amidst the intense battle, Zhishin suddenly asked, "Can you hold on for one minute … no … forty seconds?"
Oda Ai completely understood the other party's intention in asking this question, because she had also seen the battle on the other side from the corner of her eye.
"Ah …" She replied confidently, "Let alone forty seconds, I can even hold on for forty minutes …"
Even though she was bragging, her answer was very convincing. For her teammates … it was undoubtedly a kind of mental boost.
"Okay!" Zhishin heard her and retreated. He turned around and ran towards the light pillar that was about ten meters away. "I'll be right back!"
...
At the same time, on Wang Tanzhi's side …
"Be careful, kid." The first thing Bunny Bug did after he was trapped in the light pillar was to remind Xiao Tan, "If you leave the pillar's range, you will be severely injured."
After he said that, Xiao Tan who was close to the edge of the pillar quickly stopped, "But standing in the pillar, it seems like we can't do anything … Isn't this just waiting for death?"
"Don't worry, the people outside won't be able to hurt us for now," Brother Fa replied.
Without a doubt, Brother Fa knew the specific effects of Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar. In the next ten seconds, he used the most concise words to inform Xiao Tan of the special effects of this move.
"So, that's how it is …" Xiao Tan heard that and immediately turned his gaze to Uesugi Hito, who was standing outside the pillar of light. "Then … if I'm not mistaken, that person has been preparing some kind of ultimate attack …"
His speculation was correct …
Among the five members of the Sengoku First Team, Uesugi Hito's weapon was the longest. It was called [Kugeki no Tsurugi no Tsurugi]. It was a katana with a net length of more than 1.6 meters.
The length of this weapon was clearly enough to change the nature of the weapon itself. For example, if you were to use a kitchen knife with a normal length to cut vegetables, and if you were to use a kitchen knife with a blade twice the length of a normal kitchen knife to cut vegetables … the technique used, the strength required, the posture, and so on were all poles apart.
The fixed length was such a unique weapon.
It could not be used as an ordinary katana, nor could it be used as a growth-type weapon.
Although Uesugi Hito now had the physical attributes of a level 50 character and had done a lot of practice, she still couldn't use this "Legendary" weapon very skillfully. Generally speaking, she could only display about 60% of her fixed power in a normal weapon station.
However, Uesugi Ren still insisted on using this sword as his main weapon and used it throughout the competition. One of the reasons was because … the fixed length had a skill that could be used together with Takeda Tomo's [Rakshasa Black Sky Pillar].
[Name: Kugeki no Tsurugi no Tsurugi]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack Power: Extreme]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Special Effect: Space Splitting Slash (After accumulating power for 24 seconds, the user will use up all their Stamina and Spiritual Energy to perform a slash. The power of the slash will be proportional to the Stamina and Spiritual Energy consumed. Note: After accumulating power, even if the slash is interrupted, the corresponding consumption will still be deducted.]
[Equip Requirement: Fighting Mastery A, Height higher than the length of the sword, Level 40 and above.]
[Note: This is the unique weapon of the Setsurugi family, a famous martial arts family. When used to the highest level, the user can sweep away thousands of enemies and look down on all enemies.]
It was not hard to see that the activation requirement for Space Splitting Slash … was very, very strict. Taking a step back, even if the skill was successfully used, if it missed … then the user would be in a dangerous state where they had no Stamina and Spiritual Energy left.
To put it in simpler terms … this skill was very hard to 'sink'. During the sinking process, the user could be interrupted or killed. If the target was missed, the user would die.
In conclusion, this was a very impractical skill.
But as a skill that came with a legendary weapon, this skill naturally had its own uniqueness.
And that was … power.
Most of the skills in Thriller Paradise were instant-cast, and those skills that needed to be channeled … like Dragon Slash … usually had very shocking destructive power.
Then, looking at Space Splitting Slash … this skill consumed a lot of energy and took a long time to prepare. It was almost to the point where one would lose confidence in it. With this kind of cost, the power that it showed in the end was undoubtedly at the level of God Slaying.
Even if the Master of Time was standing there before his barrier was broken, there was a high chance that his defense would be broken and he would be beaten into a near-death state.
However, the Lord of Time would not allow his opponents to complete their channeling for twenty-four seconds. He would definitely interrupt them. Even if Takeda Masashi and Uesugi Hito used a combination of [Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar] and [Space Splitting Slash] against the Lord of Time, the Lord of Time would be able to pause time between [Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar]'s disappearance and [Space Splitting Slash]'s arrival. Then, he would be able to dodge the Lord of Time's attack for twelve seconds.
Of course, there was a more extreme situation … that was, the players used this combo on the Master of Time during the cooldown period. In that case, the Master of Time also had a solution. He could choose to sacrifice ninety-five percent of his Life Points and walk out of the range of Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar. After all, he had a self-healing ability. As long as he retreated from the side away from the players, before the players came back to chase after him, he would have recovered quite a lot of Life Points. Furthermore, he had the Divine Power Barrier and the Field of Silence … to finish him off, the other three players, other than Uesugi Hitoshi and Takeda Masashi, had to go around Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar in time after discovering the Master of Time's intention. They had to use at least an A-level attack on the Master of Time that was not a normal skill. Only then would they be able to finish off this boss.
There were too many restrictions and variables in this strategy. The slightest mistake would cause all the previous efforts to be wasted, and one careless move would cause them to lose everything. Without careful discussion or practice beforehand, the Sengoku players naturally would not be able to use this strategy.
However, the situation in front of them … was different.
Wang Tanzhi and Bunny Hair Bro … these two … did not have the Divine Passive Skill that the Master of Time had. If the two of them were to be hit by Sky Splitting Slash … then they would definitely be killed instantly.
And if they were to leave the range of Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar, they would be intercepted by Zhishin who was coming from the other direction. With only five percent of Life Points left, Zhishin would not hesitate to use some attacks that were extremely difficult to dodge.
After all, Zhishin's goal was to 'reduce the target's Life Points by five percent.' She did not need to do anything else. To make an analogy, this was like playing Japanese Mahjong. She had already entered the South Fourth Round, and Zhishin believed that as long as she played another round, she would be able to win the game. At this time, she did not need to be a big player or take a roundabout route. She only needed to pursue speed, speed, and cards, and she would definitely be able to win.
For Xiao Tan and Brother Fa … the situation after they forced their way out of Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar was like two people who only had one chip in their hand playing roulette. Although this situation was more optimistic than buying a lottery ticket, overall, there was still a high chance of them being screwed.
"Twenty-two … Twenty-one … Twenty …" Takeda Tomi who had exhausted her Spiritual Energy was now lying on the ground, unable to move. However, she still looked at the light pillar on her side and silently counted the time limit of her skill.
"Nineteen … Eighteen … Seventeen …" Another person who was counting the time like her was Uesugi Hito.
Sky Splitting Slash … if it was used too early, it would be canceled out by the light pillar. If it was used too late, it would be dodged by the opponent. Uesugi Hito was definitely counting the seconds.
There was only one best time, and that was the moment before Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar lost its effect.
"What should we do?" In this dire situation, Xiao Tan turned to ask Brother Fa, "Are we going to fight it head-on or …" He used his eyes to signal outside the range of the light, "Charge out to try our luck?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan." The first half of Bunny Hair Bro's reply reassured Xiao Tan. However, the second half of his sentence was different, "But, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a little."
"Uhh … What are you going to do?" Xiao Tan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I suggest you put your hands in front of your abdomen, palms facing outwards, and stack them together. Be prepared to receive the impact." Bunny Hair Bro didn't answer Xiao Tan's question. Instead, he gave him a direct instruction.
"So …" Xiao Tan did as he was told and asked again, "… What are you going to do?"
"Hey! Barney! " Bunny Hair Bro still didn't answer. The next second, he turned around and yelled at Bunny Hair Bro who was about ten meters away.
"What's the matter? Cousin. " Barney's long ears weren't for decoration. He clearly heard his cousin's call and replied loudly, "I'm a little busy here." As he spoke, he dodged a few more slashes.
While they were talking, Takeda Tomo and Uesugi Hito's countdown was coming to an end, "Eight … Seven … Six …"
"Come over here and take a huge slash for me. Also, push Xiao Tan out of the attack range." Bunny Hair Bro continued to yell.
"Five … Four … Three …"
"Hey, hey … What's with 'push'?" Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes and looked at Brother Fa, "Besides, you guys are rabbits, not cows … What are you going to use to 'push'?"
Before he could finish complaining, Barney had already replied, "Okay ~ No problem, when do we switch hands?"
"Two … One …"
"Okay …" Brother Fa continued, "Now!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the sword flashed.
The slash arrived and the pillar of heaven shattered.
In the blink of an eye, something that no one had expected happened ….
Bunny Hair Bro who was in front of Xiao Tan and Bunny Hair Bro who was about ten meters away … switched positions.
Brother Fa suddenly appeared at Barney's previous position. He raised his hand and caught Oda Ai's slash with his bare hands.
Barney replaced Brother Fa and appeared in front of Xiao Tan …
It all happened in the blink of an eye! Once Barney completed the switch, the sharp edge of Air Splitting Slash brushed against his rabbit tail, but he did not care about the damage to his body. The second his body was sliced open, he leaped up and used a flying knee on Xiao Tan, who was inches away from him. This was the most shameless and effective attack in Double Dragon II. Anyone who had used it would know that.
At that moment, Xiao Tan finally understood why Brother Fa told him to be prepared for the impact.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tan was sent flying by Bunny Hair Bro's flying knee. His speed was so fast that Mingzhi Xin couldn't catch up with him even if he wanted to.
"Ugh …" At that moment, Xiao Tan felt his vision go dark. He groaned and lost control of his body. Before he lost consciousness for a moment, the last thing he saw was Barney being hit by a flaming energy slash that was as wide as a shark's fin.
…
About ten seconds later, Xiao Tan came back to his senses after a series of ringing and dizziness.
He endured the pain of his broken arms (from his palms to his shoulders), stretched out his body to withstand the wind pressure, and used his feet as brakes … stepping on the Millennium Disk to slow down.
Just like that, he retreated another hundred meters before he finally regained his balance.
The action of treating his wounds had become instinctive. Even though his hands were hurting like crazy, he could still take out some medicine from his inventory to treat his wounds.
During the process, even though he knew he was far away from his original position, he didn't let his guard down.
Almost as soon as he regained his balance, he activated his [Eagle Eye Vision] and looked at the battlefield.
Two seconds later, the scene that entered Xiao Tan's sight gave him quite a shock …
