Melee combat: brutal, fierce, heroic.
At this stage of the battle, skill had taken a backseat, replaced by a contest of wills.
Zannian Shaonian and Honbu Taizou were both serious; this was a battle between men wagering their schools' and their personal honor.
The Zannian of the Zannian School and the firepower of the Ultra-Real School collided in the open space, shaking and impacting the hearts of onlookers.
"Damn... I hate to admit it, but there's no room for us to interfere..." Green Meteor had returned from the forest at this point.
"Yeah, I have to admit... these two guys are strong." Banana Loving Fellow also returned.
Actually, Green Meteor and Banana Loving Fellow weren't completely incapable of interfering in the battle, but... they also wanted to see who would emerge victorious.
"Hmph... don't play dumb." Sai La Jiong understood them well and immediately exposed their thoughts. "You just want to see who's stronger, right?"
Flea Bro, never one for false words, said, "I want to see too." He paused for half a second before adding, "Besides, spectating is advantageous for us; if Honbu wins, Zannian Shaonian will either die or be injured, and we can take the opportunity to arrest him. If Zannian Shaonian wins, it will definitely be a narrow victory, and we'll have a better chance of catching him then."
"Yeah, I agree." Feng Bujue echoed, feigning agreement. Clearly, he didn't want to fight those two either.
It wasn't that Brother Jue couldn't beat them, but... he was always happy to "sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
However...
Within the crowd... one person couldn't wait for the battle to end.
Whoosh—
Just as Zannian Shaonian and Honbu reached the climax of their battle, an unexpected beam of white light suddenly burst into the fray from outside the circle.
This ambush was unexpected and vicious.
The attacker was no ordinary person, because their move... was launched simultaneously targeting both combatants, and it was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The next second, the white light pierced through Honbu Taizou's back, exited through his chest, and then struck Zannian Shaonian's face.
"Ugh—"
"Ah!"
Instantly, a muffled groan and a scream of agony rang out.
Honbu Taizou fell. The blow had severely damaged his organs, and he was on the verge of death.
Zannian Shaonian also fell, clutching his left eye and screaming as he rolled on the ground, because the "hidden weapon" was still lodged in his bloody eye socket.
"Heh heh heh... ha ha ha ha..." After a bout of standard villainous laughter, a plump, buck-toothed square dance enthusiast appeared.
That's right, it was—Bucktooth Auntie.
"Two idiots, I caught you off guard, didn't I?" she said, plucking out her two front teeth.
Her front teeth were large, each about the size of a mahjong tile. Even more astonishing... two seconds after she pulled out her teeth, two identical, large buck teeth immediately grew back, without a drop of blood.
It should be noted that... Bucktooth Auntie was a "special variant" among the square dance enthusiasts. Her huge front teeth had the hardness to crush steel, and could be detached at will, and would immediately regenerate after being detached.
"You didn't immediately die after being hit by my 'Bucktooth Pear Blossom Rain'? Your combat power is not bad." Bucktooth Auntie held her two front teeth in her hands, skillfully playing with them. "Too bad your brains... are too stupid."
"You... poof..." Honbu spat out a mouthful of blood, turning his head to look back. "From where..."
"Heh... don't you understand?" Bucktooth Auntie said, approaching the two people lying on the ground. "I was already lurking in the crowd long before you two idiots showed up." She said, pointing to Wu Xu Maluo, who had returned to the betting area. "Why do you think someone was opening bets there? And who do you think leaked the news that Zannian Shaonian and I would appear here?"
"You... you this..." Honbu seemed to want to curse, but he could barely speak.
"I knew from the beginning that you, Honbu Taizou, were on Park Star, and I also knew... about the rivalry between your Zannian School and the Ultra-Real School, and... that you're both idiots." Bucktooth Auntie continued, "So, I set up this scheme..." She glanced at Zannian Shaonian, who was still rolling on the ground. "This kid is very easily provoked, it wasn't hard to lure him here." She looked at Honbu again. "As for you... it's also very simple, I just needed to hire a few Beggar Stars to cause you trouble."
Upon hearing this, Honbu Taizou's eyes widened in sudden realization...
The various anomalies from before flashed through his mind... He finally understood why those Beggar Stars, who had always treated him with respect and distance, had actually taken the initiative to provoke him today.
"By the way, more than half of the Beggar Stars betting over there... are working for me." After a two-second pause, Bucktooth Auntie coldly added, "It would be too suspicious if I bet directly, or bet too much on myself at once, and it might expose my identity. So, I divided the money into multiple shares and had them place bets for me... betting that I would win."
"Tch... even I fell for her trick." Upon hearing this, Wu Xu Maluo revealed an displeased expression.
However, despite his displeasure, he didn't do anything...
As a professional who opens bets everywhere in the universe, Wu Xu Maluo has his principles; as long as others don't directly attack him, the bookmaker (like Zannian Shaonian's attack), then the external manipulations of the betting results is something he does not interfere with.
That's how things are on the gambling table... there's never any right or wrong, the one who gets tricked is the fool, and the loser has no right to criticize the winner's methods.
"You... you old hag!" After rolling on the ground for a while, Zannian Shaonian finally burst out in uncontrollable anger and roared.
His left hand was still pressed against his left eye, blood flowing between his fingers, but his anger had made him ignore the pain.
"Zannian School... secret technique!" The youth shouted the name of the technique, staggering towards Bucktooth Auntie, preparing to fight her to the death.
Bang—
Unexpectedly, Bucktooth Auntie dodged and kicked Zannian Shaonian squarely in the abdomen with a side kick.
This fat woman's speed was truly disproportionate to her size...
"Idiot..." She deliberately chose to enter from the blind spot on the opponent's left side, striking first and killing Zannian Shaonian's move in the cradle. "What Zannian School, Ultra-Real School... utterly boring!"
"Fighting and risking your life for some inexplicable reason, are you idiots?" Bucktooth Auntie said, raising her leg again and pressing Zannian Shaonian to the ground. "Being regarded as the same level as an idiot like you is very troubling to me." At this point, killing intent appeared in Bucktooth Auntie's eyes. "So... you should just hurry up and die!"
After saying that, she swung her arm and threw the two front teeth she had prepared at Zannian Shaonian's forehead.
But!
Chi—
In that instant, a black light flashed past, accurately intercepting the attack that was sure to hit.
"Hey."
Just as Bucktooth Auntie was shocked, a hand landed on her shoulder; a weak "hey" sounded from her ear.
"You..." Bucktooth Auntie turned her head, her face full of horror. "Who are yo—"
Bang—
Before she could say the word "who," Feng Bujue's old fist hit her fat face.
Bucktooth Auntie's fat body flew out horizontally, crossing the open space until it crashed into a large tree and stopped.
This blow caused the expressions of all the onlookers to change suddenly.
Feng Bujue's speed in approaching Bucktooth Auntie in an instant, the power to send that fat pig flying with a casual swing, and an astonishing aura, were all like a silent declaration.
"To be honest, I don't have any problems with what you've done." Feng Bujue shook his hand calmly after hitting her and said, "I even want to say 'well done' to you, the setup was very successful, it was a complete victory in terms of intelligence."
As he spoke, he turned around, took out [Qi Xu Ru Lin] from his bag, and squatted down beside Honbu Taizou.
No one knew what he did... but, after a short breath, they saw that the injuries on Honbu's body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ugh—" The Park God thought he was going to die in the park, but this sudden change caught him off guard.
"Whether you want to plot or silence people, it's fine... anyway, none of you are good people in the eyes of the UPL." After saving Honbu, Feng Bujue turned around and stood up again, looking towards Bucktooth Auntie's location and shouting, "But..." He changed his tone. "How dare you say the reason for this duel is inexplicable?"
"Tch... I was careless..." On the other hand, Bucktooth Auntie, who had fallen dozens of meters away, had already stood up from the ground. She spat out the blood and foam in her mouth and stared at Brother Jue with a ferocious gaze, thinking to herself, "I thought the strongest of the five was Flea Bro, and the other four were about the same level as Green Meteor. I didn't expect... there to be another tough one."
"Bucktooth fatty." The next second, Feng Bujue was walking towards the other party's location with a blank expression. "There are some things... you better understand..." He said as he walked, "Indeed... those two guys are big idiots. People like them... don't have good heads and are not good at socializing; they can't do anything except fight. They are losers in life, like stray dogs... hated by people, and hated by themselves. They give up on themselves and no longer believe that they will be accepted by anyone, so they always show their fangs in front of people and live like stray dogs."
He walked very fast and was in front of the other person in the blink of an eye.
"The money, power, fame, and status that the world pursues... don't have much to do with them, and they themselves know that they don't deserve to have them." Feng Bujue paused, and said solemnly, "But... they also have things that they insist on. You can trample and destroy the lives of stray dogs, but you can't deny their last insistence."
"Long-winded..." Bucktooth Auntie stared at Feng Bujue with a sinister expression, patiently waiting for the other party to step into her attack range. "I can't understand what you're saying at all!"
Accompanied by a roar, her fat body suddenly rose, and a Mount Tai Press suddenly attacked.
"What I want to say is... men ah..." Feng Bujue's voice was not loud when he answered the first half of this sentence, and he didn't move.
"What's wrong with fighting to prove that you are stronger than the other party!"
Bang—
When the second half of the sentence came out, Brother Jue had already roared out loud.
On the premise of instantly opening [Ling Shi Ju Shen Shu- Gai] (Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique - Modified), he used his absolute speed advantage to break into Bucktooth Auntie's attack range and delivered a straight uppercut to the latter's face, gathering the strength of his whole body.
It is said that... all martial arts in the world come from rising dragon.
This punch rose up towards the head, Bucktooth Auntie got a concussion directly... Her fat body also turned into an ordinary heavy object due to the loss of consciousness, and was lifted into the sky by Brother Jue with one punch...
That round body turned three times in the air, and then crashed to the ground. The sound was like a container falling accident.
Then... there was silence.
The whole place was silent, everyone... including Wu Xu Maluo and the four heroes of the UPL, looked at Brother Jue with incredible eyes.
"Phew... luckily my speed is much faster than hers..." Feng Bujue himself was thinking, "If I hadn't knocked her unconscious before her 'strength' pressed down, I might not have been able to save my arm..." He looked down at his already comminuted fracture right hand, secretly rejoicing...
Among all the onlookers, there was only one who saw the technique that Brother Jue had just used...
"Is it 'counterattack'..." Honbu Taizou is worthy of being a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. Even if his combat power is not as good as Brother Jue's, he can still see the tricks, "It's the first time I've seen someone use it in that situation..."
The so-called "counterattack", or "counterattack punch", is a technique in boxing. That is: at the moment when the opponent punches, instantly judge the punch path, and at the same time avoiding the attack, deliver an effective punch in the direction opposite to the opponent's force.
The horror of the counterattack punch lies in the fact that in addition to its own power, it also adds the opponent's forward force. In boxing, a successful counterattack can not only destroy the opponent's offense, but also effectively frustrate the opponent's spirit, and sometimes even knock the opponent down.
Just now, Feng Bujue's killing of Bucktooth Auntie was actually a variation of the use of a counterattack.
He consciously increased the speed according to the actual situation, making it faster than a general counterattack; otherwise, if he waited until the power of Bucktooth Auntie's move was completely released before using "counterattack", the result would likely be that Brother Jue's entire arm would be wasted, and Bucktooth Auntie's head would be smashed into pieces on the spot.
"Well... it's about time for us to pack up." Feng Bujue said to Flea Bro as he turned back from there, "Captain, just use the remote control to drive the spaceship over..." He glanced at the surrounding crowd. "I think... no one dares to attack our ship now." He shrugged again. "I don't want to carry that fat woman and this brat back again."
"Heh..." Flea Bro smiled rarely. "Okay, no problem."
"Wait!" At this moment, Honbu Taizou... spoke again, "Hero, please wait!"
