As soon as Kai's blade bounced, he realised he was in a very bad situation!
"Damn! I underestimated its strength! I won't make it in time..." - Kai thought frantically.
He had used the Shadow Mark Dance for this counterattack, and wanted to immediately start preparing a new mark for retreat. But after failing, it didn't take long for Fashur to do so.
His free hand instantly launched a sprawling strike behind his back, flying into Kai's side!
Although Kai could use the Dance of Shadow Marks almost instantly and without stopping, but that was if judged by the measure of mere movement. In a battle with such intensity and such a strong opponent, every millisecond counted.
Watching the flying kick from the left, Kai had already calculated that he wouldn't have time to retreat... The tag would form later than Fashur's arm would arrive.
"We have to take it!" - Instantly Kai decided, assessing the whole situation.
Kai quickly pressed his fists to his chin and his elbows to the bottom of his ribs, bending slightly in his back. In this way, he was creating a shield for his internal organs. If such a blow came to his unprotected ribs, it would instantly shatter them.
"Rugged bitch," Kai thought convulsively, looking at Fashur's approaching arm.
Now it was as if the enemy's entire skin was covered in scales of stone, and Kai had already experienced their defences!
Baah! Khrak! - There was the sound of an incredible blow and followed by the sound of bones breaking!
Kai instantly flew off! It was as if he had been shot from a siege cannon. His body flew several metres, bouncing off the ground! But after a second, Kai was able to stabilise his body in motion and push himself off the ground with his healthy arm. Doing a somersault, he landed on his feet again.
Kai looked at Fashur with a calm gaze, but an evil smirk hung on his face. The whole scene looked shocking!
- Yes this guy is a nutcase! Why is he grinning! Look at his hand! - Shouted someone from the crowd.
"Jin!" came the sound of a dagger falling to the ground.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Kai stood at ease, with an inappropriate expression on his face! And all because his left arm was now dangling and not moving. It was obvious that it was broken!
Kai slowly shifted his gaze to his arm and then back to Fashur.
- Hahahahaha! Ahfucking hell!!! - Shouted Kai with a laugh.
The whole crowd looked at him stunned, they didn't know how to react to this scene....
- Puppy, have you lost your mind from despair?! - Fashur shouted loudly, clenching his teeth.
It was evident that his rage had not gone away at all, but only intensified! He wanted to crush and break Kai completely! But even though he was in such a state, he actually voiced the thoughts of almost everyone here.....
No one understood Kai's reaction except him. He didn't care at all about the audience or Fashur right now. And even about his broken arm... He was concentrating on his sensations in his bones and torn muscles....
"Unbelievable! Is it because of Kessia's bloodline! The regeneration is just monstrous! I can literally feel my flesh moving... My bones and muscles are fusing..." - Smiling evilly Kai thought.
Fashur was waiting for his enemy's response, so he had not yet resumed his attack. But at that moment, there were cheers and surprised gasps from the crowd.
At that moment, the index finger on Kai's broken hand moved slightly. But that wasn't the end of it... Followed by the middle finger, and then the ring finger, followed by the pinky.
Seconds later, under the shocked stares of the crowd, Kai calmly raised his hand and pressed his palm, against his face.
"Hehe... Even I'm shocked..." - With mixed feelings, Kai thought to himself.
Although his regeneration had been monstrous before, but still... The current speed could only be called, in one word... Inhuman!
When Kai thought about it, he instantly remembered Kessia.
"Ah indeed... She's not human... But most likely, this effect isn't just from her bloodline. It's because of the Invisible King Torture Technique's symbiosis with her. Still, the origin of my cultivation technique, this is Kessia's homeland..." - Thinking about this, Kai felt as if he was frozen.
He realised that everything made perfect sense. It seems that his technique started working much better when his body itself changed... Now, it was as if it was working with the right material.....
- What are you, a scumbag who thinks you have time for a little clouds?! - There was a loud shout from Fashur.
Hearing this, Kai was instantly brought back to reality and saw that beast coming at him again!
Reacting lightning fast, he planted the dagger with his foot and caught it in the palm of his hand. Just as Fashur was about to approach, Kai pulled the Shadow Mark trick again, ending up 10 metres away from his opponent.
- Don't be deceived, I was just giving you time to think. I know you have a hard time with this... - Kai said, and shook his head sadly.
But when he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the enemy to attack as before, but rushed forward. At this moment, he also released a lot more of his energy. It instantly flooded his daggers with black colour. Kai's attribute, suppressed any other energy. Earlier, he simply hadn't used it to its full potential.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Jin! Bang! - A series of deafening sounds erupted!
The fight went to a whole other level! An endless exchange of blows began. Kai was constantly using the Shadow Tag Dance. Whenever he moved somewhere, he would immediately prepare the next tag!
At this moment, Fashur's hand flew into Kai's face again. But he instantly ducked under his arm and struck right under his shoulder, trying to cut the tendons in one blow.
Shhhh! - There was a sound like stone being crushed, and then blood spurted out!
Kai was finally able to break through Fashur's defence! All at the expense of his attribute, which was eating away at his opponent in the form of Fashur's energy. As Kai began to invest much more of his energy, his blades finally penetrated through the layer of stone scales.
"Damn! Not enough!" - Instantly, Kai thought to himself and retreated with his Shadow Mark.
Although he had managed to penetrate Fashur's flesh, the wound wasn't too deep. He couldn't even damage the tendons, with the fact that the blow had struck one of the most unprotected places in the man. There was only skin and no muscle under the shoulder.
The moment he realised that this puppy had managed to inflict a real wound on him, Fashur's mind began to go blank. His gaze became even more ferocious! He had always been known for his defence and was incredibly proud of it. But now, some kid a level below him had managed to tarnish his pride!
- Scum... You can't live! - Fashur shouted in rage and rushed towards Kai with his fists clenched.
Bang! Jin! Jin! Jin! Bang! Bang! - There was a new series of blows! Things were getting even more fierce!
Although it seemed that Fashur had been drugged by the rage, his punches were now less sweeping and more precise. It was evident that he was beginning to take Kai much more seriously.
He wanted to suppress his opponent as soon as possible, so he began to use his fighting stance and his signature style! His hand strikes became much more skilful and his foot placement became more stable.
"If I don't want to reveal more trump cards... Then there's only one way to deal with him..." - Dodging lightning fast, Kai planned his next moves.
He had faced this kind of opponent before, and Kai knew that there was definitely one proven way to deal with him... Namely.....
To constantly hit the same point!
