Chapter 232
“Boom————!”
In this fleeting moment, a sound akin to an explosion reverberated from Tohyama Kinji’s body.
It was a sonic boom created by his speed reaching its peak, breaking the sound barrier.
Tohyama Kinji, moving forward like a bullet violently shot from a gun barrel, clenched his fist with force, and the front of his fist exceeded the speed of sound.
The moisture in the air touched the leading edge of his fist, which had broken the sound barrier, causing the air’s moisture to condense, forming a vapor cone that hovered around Tohyama Kinji’s arm.
Under such peak speed, the shockwave generated by the supersonic speed tore apart Tohyama Kinji’s arm, causing blood to scatter and mix with the vapor cone, creating an astonishing scene that resembled cherry blossom petals fluttering around his arm.
Thus, this move was named—
“Cherry Blossom!”
With a resounding shout, Tohyama Kinji unleashed a punch that resembled a mortar.
The punch was so fast that it was impossible to track.
The punch was so powerful that it was unparalleled.
Even before the punch made contact, Fang Li’s skin all over his body felt a tingling sensation from the wind’s movement, and it was as if invisible blades were cutting through his body.
To be honest, the power of this punch had exceeded Fang Li’s expectations to some extent.
Fang Li hadn’t anticipated that Tohyama Kinji, who had always been lazy and lacked enthusiasm, had such a hidden ace up his sleeve.
However, when it came to secret techniques, Fang Li was by no means inferior to Tohyama Kinji.
In the span of a year, while continuously undertaking challenging Commissioned Missions, Fang Li had been honing his Nanaya Assassination Technique.
While the Tohyama Clan possessed techniques that maximized their power under Hysteria Mode, the Nanaya Clan also possessed the Assassination Technique that pushed the human body to its limits.
With the use of this Assassination Technique, coupled with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, even Dracula, who claimed to have an undying body, was directly vanquished by Fang Li’s single strike, obliterating his vampire form.
Now, though Fang Li wasn’t using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and didn’t have the Moonlight Dagger in his hand, he still had access to Nanaya Assassination Techniques. Besides the Flashing Scabbard representing ‘Arm’, there was also the Flashing Dash representing ‘Foot’.
Even without a weapon, the bearer of the Nanaya Assassination Technique could still transform into a Murdering Demon, using their physical body alone to strangle their opponent.
Unlike Tohyama Kinji’s attention-grabbing performance.
Unlike the beautiful scene of Cherry Blossoms scattering.
Facing the terrifying strike that approached like a mortar round, Fang Li closed his eyes, only to open them wide in the next moment.
“Flashing Dash-Meigetsu!”
A roaring gust of wind abruptly converged beneath Fang Li’s feet.
As if bathed in the moonlight shining down from the night sky, Fang Li’s figure transformed into a flash, akin to a meteor, soaring forward.
Shortly afterward, the attack, resembling a streak of light, was unleashed from Fang Li’s foot.
On one side was the supersonic fist accompanied by scattering Cherry Blossoms.
On the other side was an exceedingly high-speed kick, akin to moonlight descending.
In the next second, the fist resembling a mortar and the stream of light-like kick collided fiercely in midair.
“BOOM————!”
Accompanied by a resounding roar reminiscent of falling thunder, a berserk shockwave transformed into a powerful gust of wind. Centered around Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji, it expanded wildly.
“Kacha Kacha Kacha————!”
Beneath the influence of the berserk shockwave, the sturdy ground cracked apart with a sharp and crisp sound, much like shattered glass. It gradually crumbled, causing cracks to spread like a spider’s web.
The shockwave continued its rampage like a ferocious wind, propelling the windmill structures in the surroundings into an extremely fast rotation.
In the blink of an eye, the passing shockwave caused the entire ground to tremble slightly, raising clouds of dust into the air.
This scene was akin to a miniature Tatsumaki tornado landing in one corner of the open space island, creating a grand spectacle.
Before long, two figures were sent flying out from the center of the shockwave, rolling on the ground. After tumbling quite a few times, they finally came to a stop, looking extremely disheveled.
The immense commotion gradually began to subside.
The shockwave gradually dissipated.
The gust of wind gradually died down.
The dust gradually settled.
The windmills gradually came to a standstill.
Once all the commotion had vanished, all that remained was an open space riddled with spider-web-like cracks.
Separated by this cracked open space, Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji stood as if they had returned to their initial confrontation, facing each other on opposite ends.
“Dí Dā…”
The sound of blood dripping onto the ground could be heard. And indeed, this sound was present both in Fang Li’s and Tohyama Kinji’s conditions.
Both of them were in a very bad state.
Fang Li knelt on one knee on the ground, not knowing whether he had suffered some impact, but blood stains trickled down from the corners of his mouth.
Tohyama Kinji stood crookedly, one of his hands resembling tattered cloth, his bulletproof sleeve torn apart. His skin looked as though it had been run through a meat grinder, becoming hideous and blood constantly oozed from his wounds.
Raising his head, Fang Li looked at Tohyama Kinji on the opposite side, who was struggling with his severely damaged arm and he wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up.
Observing this scene, Tohyama Kinji let out a wry smile and then uttered a line:
“You’ve won.”
With those words, Tohyama Kinji collapsed directly onto the ground, lying in a sprawled position, his complexion pale as he tried to catch his breath. His chest heaved uncontrollably.
Although Fang Li felt some tightness in his chest, his injuries weren’t as severe as Tohyama Kinji’s.
After all, Tohyama Kinji’s injuries didn’t solely stem from the recent collision; they also included the side effects of activating Cherry Blossom.
Therefore, in terms of injuries, it was evident that Tohyama Kinji’s were more serious than Fang Li’s.
In other words, Tohyama Kinji had lost his combat ability.
On the other hand, despite being injured, Fang Li could still continue to fight.
The winner and loser were clear at a glance.
“As expected…” Tohyama Kinji, seemingly relieved, chuckled and then said: “I still can’t beat you.”
“Well, you did quit the Assault Department halfway,” Fang Li chuckled as he spoke. “If you had stayed in the Assault Department for training, maybe it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to win against you.”
At least, in such a scenario, without using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and giving it his all, Fang Li wouldn’t have been confident about beating Tohyama Kinji.
Upon hearing this, Tohyama Kinji closed his eyes and suddenly spoke to Fang Li.
“You should hurry and find Kanzaki-San.”
“Or she will die soon. My Big Brother wants to kill her.”
This statement caused Fang Li’s eyes to narrow.
