Meng Jingchan charged forward with a flick of his sword. He was as fast as the wind, and his moves were cunning. In terms of strength, he gave it his all.
Feng Bujue morphed into a shadow, and wherever he passed, the cards flashed. His attack power was above that of Meng Jingchan.
Both of them knew very well that facing the Anomaly before them, even if they gave it their all, they might not win. It was pointless to hold back and test the waters.
The two silhouettes unleashed their ultimate attacks. Even though K3 was fighting two alone, his defense was impenetrable. He was not at a disadvantage at all. In terms of raw power, he was twice as powerful as the two combined; in terms of skill, he had been through countless battles; in terms of fighting spirit, every battle that he had been through was a battle of life and death.
The battle between the three formed a delicate balance. The two players temporarily used their fast and concentrated attacks to suppress K3, but they were unable to defeat him. If they continued to drag this out, in a few minutes, Feng Bujue would lose the ability to fight, and the balance would be broken. But they did not have the energy to change their moves first.
"You're a bit slow." In this impenetrable defense, K3 suddenly said in a relaxed tone, "You're not strong enough either." His right arm exploded with energy, and part of the energy shield opened. It knocked away Meng Jingchan's sword that came at him.
Meng Jingchan felt his palm go numb, and then a wave of energy surged up his arm, causing his sword to fly out of his hand.
"You're not bad." K3 then turned to Feng Bujue. "But your combat experience and skill are a mess …" He leaped forward and used a simple but unexpected move to barge into the gap on the right side of Feng Bujue. He aimed his elbow at Feng Bujue's ribs.
Thankfully, with the Echo Armor and the buff from Body Enhancement Spell, Feng Bujue was able to assume a defensive posture before he was hit. Even though the elbow knocked Feng Bujue back more than ten meters, it only caused him to lose ten percent of his Life Points.
Of course, this 10% meant that the duration of the Body Enhancement Technique was reduced by another 25 seconds.
"If you guys don't perform better, then this battle is over," K3 said. "I still have four people to deal with."
"So this is your weakness …" Feng Bujue suddenly sneered, his eyes becoming sharp and cold.
"What did you say?" K3's expression did not change, but in reality, he was starting to feel unsettled.
At this time, Meng Jingchan had already picked up his sword. He grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and stabilized his trembling arm. It was obvious that he had not given up. This defeat was not enough to make him admit defeat.
"Even an Anomaly cannot have unlimited stamina." When Feng Bujue said that, he had already regrouped and charged forward. "Your Chi Shield also requires stamina to support it. I can see that … Whenever your stamina is depleted to a certain level, you will use a skill that is obviously stronger than your current level." The poker cards flew out from his hands. There was no combo; he only wanted to attack multiple targets at the same time.
"It would be good if you can kill your opponent, but even if you can't, your opponent will be forced back by your powerful skill, and you will have the chance to recover." Feng Bujue used more than ten cards and once again rushed to the front of K3. "The recovery speed of your Stamina Points determines your behavior pattern. The stronger your skill, the closer you are to defeat. When you use your strongest skill, it means that you have no way to retreat. "
K3's Chi Shield was a passive defensive skill. When he was hit by a powerful attack (obviously, a stool bashing on the back did not count), it would be activated automatically to negate the power of the attack. The thing that was more powerful than the Echo Armor was that the Chi Shield did not only protect the torso but covered the whole body. Even if the enemy attacked at close range, it would be activated normally.
Other than that, the Chi Shield could be activated automatically. K3 had used it several times already, like a partial explosion, a full-body explosion, or to increase the damage of long-range attacks …
However, this kind of convenient and powerful skill naturally had its exhaustion. If his Stamina Points dropped below thirty percent, the passive defensive effect of the air shield would disappear, and that would place K3 in danger. Therefore, his combat style was to use offense as defense before his Stamina Points reached their tipping point to turn the tables around.
Whenever K3's Stamina Points were depleted by more than half, he would use a powerful skill. Just as Feng Bujue predicted, even if he could not heavily injure his opponent, he would be able to force them back. Then, when his opponent was catching his breath, K3 used the opportunity to recover as well. The recovery speed of an Anomaly's Stamina Points and Life Points could not be compared to a player's. They were born as data, and the scenario world was made up of data. For them, recovering Stamina Points and Life Points was like a cultivator absorbing spiritual energy. Their recovery speed was at least ten times faster than a player's.
Feng Bujue thought back to his last encounter with X-23. She was also a level three Anomaly. When she battled Pan Feng and Hwa Xiong, she did not show much of an advantage. She merely won with a steady battle. And this time around, this fella seemed to be so strong that he was practically Heaven defying. He felt that even a GM would be insta-killed if he were here.
But Feng Bujue eventually saw through it … this was all an illusion. K3's combat style was quite deceptive. It made people think that he could increase the power of his skills endlessly.
"This method of yours must have worked many times." Feng Bujue's poker cards were not stopped this time. They hit K3 from all sides, but the air shield around the latter's body was still working. "You have turned your 'presence' into an effective weapon. Most people, when facing an opponent who is getting stronger and stronger, will have the illusion that they are slowly being suppressed. This feeling will quickly turn into doubt and fear of you." As Feng Bujue spoke, the glowing poker cards had already cut at K3's throat.
Zen Dream also made a comeback at that moment. His sword was pointed at K3's back, and he stabbed silently.
Bang!
It was the same sound again. The blade was bent, but the tip of the sword still did not pierce through the air shield. This was Meng Jingchan's full-powered attack. Even though he did not lose any Life Points, he had to keep up with Feng Bujue's attacking rhythm, and the exhaustion of his Stamina Points was self-explanatory.
And Feng Bujue's wrist that was holding the cards was grabbed by K3. He did not even manage to finish the attack.
"Not a bad idea, and the tactic of continuous attacks is correct," K3 said in a low voice. K3 said darkly, and his expression turned serious. "Unfortunately, your execution is not good enough." He twisted with one hand, and Feng Bujue's right forearm was snapped off. It was yanked off, and even the bone could be seen. Blood spurted out instantly.
The simulation of pain was very realistic, but it was still weakened by the system. If it was reconstructed one hundred percent, Feng Bujue would have fainted from the pain.
"If the two GMs fought me according to your plan, if they were lucky, they might have a chance of winning," K3 said coldly. "Of course, I seriously doubt they would be able to survive my ultimate attack." He tossed Feng Bujue's broken arm away. "As for you …" He turned around and kicked, and his foot landed squarely on Meng Jingchan's shoulder. The latter's face was filled with shock, and he coughed out blood. He flew back about ten meters and slammed into a tree not far away. "I told you, he is not fast enough, and he is not strong enough." He moved his gaze to Feng Bujue's face. "As for you … you don't even know how to fight. Twice the effort for half the result."
The red glow on K3's right arm reappeared. With the power of a dark cloud, it covered up the blood around Feng Bujue.
Feng Bujue's Life Points soon dropped to one percent due to the heavy injury on his arm and the bleeding effect. His Body Enhancement Spell should still be active in the last few seconds, but regardless of whether the skill was active or not, Feng Bujue would not be able to successfully evade K3's next attack.
"You are not worthy enough for me to use my strongest skill." K3's action was probably to prepare to use the Red Dragon Fist again. "The punch that I was unable to use earlier is more than enough to deal with you." He was not wrong. If not for the whip kick that Feng Bujue used earlier, this punch would have ended the battle already.
In this fleeting moment, many thoughts crossed Feng Bujue's mind. Should I say something to divert the main character's plot armor away from me? It will be bad if he destroys my equipment again. Or should I just quit? After all, I've fought enough, and I've lost. Even though I knew from the start that I couldn't beat him, after such a long battle, I couldn't even grasp the slightest chance of winning. I really can't accept this …
The dragon roared, and the red glow appeared. The red dragon energy on K3's right arm followed the edge of his fist and blasted at Feng Bujue's chest.
Feng Bujue's first reaction was, Don't tell me this will break my Echo Armor. I've only been wearing this equipment for less than one scenario …
Bang!
The energy collided with an invisible force field. However, it was not the sound barrier of the Echo Armor. Instead, it was …
"Your Sorcery Weapon data has been updated.
"Your item SCP-500 has been consumed. Current storage: 1,920."
“What？” When Feng Bujue heard the system announcement, he saw the barrier before him clearly. It was the golden shadow of a poker card. Its size was about the size of a door, and it blocked K3's attack.
There were three special effects for Death Poker, and they were:
"Special Effect 1: Infinite (Automatically generates a depleted card every five minutes, and will stop when there are 54 cards)
"Special Effect 2: Combo (Attack with a certain combination of cards will increase the damage)
"Special Effect 3: Soulseeker (The Sorcery Weapon will always fly toward its owner's target)
At that moment, the fourth special effect appeared and was activated. "Special Effect 4: Shield 'Card' (Randomly consume ten cards to create an indestructible shield)"
This was hard to explain. Was it because Feng Bujue's mastery of the Sorcery Weapon increased, or was it because of the main character's plot armor? It was hard to tell … Coincidentally, after the previous depletion and the loss of ten cards, there was only one card left.
The thing that confused Feng Bujue the most was, what was the reason for the exhaustion of the SCP-500? Even though it was a cure, it could not recover his Life Points.
"How is that possible …" K3 was also shocked.
Feng Bujue followed the man's gaze, and when he lowered his head to look, he realized that his arm was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. His marrow, veins, bones, flesh, skin, and so on … miraculously regenerated on their own. The green light formed from data floated around the edge of the wound. The right arm that was torn off healed in less than ten seconds, but the sleeve did not appear.
It looked like the forced exhaustion of the SCP-500 was to complete the recovery of the arm.
"Why can't you die?!" For some reason, K3 was infuriated. He ignored the exhaustion of his Stamina Points and unleashed his chi again. He waved his palms in the shape of an X, and as his ten fingers crossed, a web-like air wall shot forward.
After Feng Bujue's arm recovered, the bleeding effect stopped, so his Life Points did not reach one percent but stopped at seventeen percent. This meant that the effect of the Body Enhancement Spell was still there.
Earlier, the Red Dragon Fist had increased the distance between the two of them, and Feng Bujue had more space to maneuver. Facing the wall of air that was coming at him, he did a rather unorthodox somersault to move to the side, and to his surprise … he really managed to dodge it.
"Tsk …" K3 scoffed. "Don't think you can keep dodging it. I've been observing you. You won't be able to maintain this high-speed state for long."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue replied rudely. "You don't have to worry about that … Before I defeat you, I will not deactivate this state." He was just being stubborn. In less than a minute, the skill would automatically deactivate.
"Die!" K3 roared. He leaped into the air and threw out three punches. They were powerful, fast, and heavy … These three punches had the combination of strength, speed, and energy. It was a well-balanced and solid attack.
"Your equipment, M1911A1 pistol, has been destroyed.
"Your equipment, Eye of Hostility, has been destroyed.
"Your equipment, Robots Must Die, has been destroyed.
"F * ck!" The word escaped Feng Bujue's lips. After all, there were no other players around him, so he did not mind saying it out loud.
This time, his Life Points did not decrease because all three punches were fatal, so he dropped his equipment …
K3 did not know that the items in his opponent's inventory had disappeared. He looked at Feng Bujue in shock. He looked at the man who took three punches but did not move an inch. "You're still not dead?"
"Dead?" Feng Bujue's eyes were about to spit fire. With lightning speed, he pulled out Mario's Wrench and aimed it at K3, who was inches away from him, and swung it at his temple.
Bang bang bang …
K3 was hit on the head by the wrench. He quickly raised his arm to block, but his arm was injured as well.
"Dead! Dead! Dead! "Feng Bujue repeated as he swung." You've exhausted yourself too much in such a short period of time, haven't you? Huh? Your Stamina Points have dropped below the limit to maintain the energy shield! " He greeted K3 with a barrage of punches and punches. With the momentum of killing a master with a flurry of punches, he forced K3 back again and again.
Initially, K3 was hit heavily on the head, and that confused him. He did not expect the man to be completely fine after his three consecutive hits. He staggered backward, and Feng Bujue chased after him to give him a good beating.
