Chapter 285 - Personal Glory Vs Team Glory (2/2)
The moment Du Peng attacked Zeus from the front, a series of intensive thunder-like claps shook the hearts of everyone and also spread to everyone’s ears with the help of loudspeaker.
The flapping of his sleeves sounded like firecrackers in the celebration of a festival. And under the amplification from the loudspeakers, it even caused everyone’s ears to sting a bit!
Most of the participating recruits had the same feeling when they saw this attack. If it was me there, just after seeing this fierce attack, there would really be no need to fight. As long as the opposite party came before me, I would have been defeated already. I would simply be unable to block this.
At this moment, Xing Wuyi suddenly felt like it wasn’t Du Peng but Du Zhanpeng unleashing this fierce attack.
At the sight of this, Qin Fen’s pupils constricted. Du Peng’s Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary was even more perfect than Du Zhanpeng’s! The two diving arts had not yet perfectly integrated, but the strength and scope of this dominating attack had surpassed that of Du Zhanpeng’s.
Zeus’s eyes flickered with blue electric arcs. Facing Du Peng, who could deform a Chery QQ with one blow, there was not a shred of fear on his face. He lowered his waist and crossed his arms before sweeping them outwards like a scissor with a twisting force, scissoring them at Du Peng!
“Paleo martial arts! Dragon Claw! Dual Coiling Dragons!”
The commentator cried in shock. To his surprise, Zeus, who was the poster child of neo martial arts, was actually using Dragon Claw, a paleo martial art, instead of neo martial arts for Azure Electric Drive!
The audience gasped a breath of cold air together. Zeus’ Azur Electric Drive had a special ability of paralysis. Coupled with Dragon Claw’s ability to pierce through and discharge electricity, it could even deform the iron railings of prisons completely! If Du Zhanpeng’s palm was electrified and pierced through, how much strength could he play? Perhaps both his hands would be completely broken by Mark Zeus with just one clash.
Contrary to everyone’s expectation, when the ultimate skills of both sides clashed, Du Peng’s sleeve twisted in the blink of an eye. And under the entanglement of both sides power, that sleeve burst into pieces instantly, fluttering like snowflakes between the two!
In the blink of an eye, blue electric arcs suddenly jumped out from Zeus’ arms, creating a visible net of electricity, which could even cook the flesh on Du Peng’s arm the moment it came in contact. Immediately, the fine hairs on Du Peng’s arm, as well the hair on his head, stood erect as a sharp pain shot through his arm, as if his arm was being grounded by a huge press.
While Du Peng’s arm was twisted between Zeus’ arms, the five fingers of Du Peng’s Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary separated and quickly struck his arm like a pianist playing the most beautiful music on the keyboard.
Nihility Finger Flicks of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder!
Zeus suddenly felt a numbness spreading down through his bones the moment they were hit! Zeus was shocked by the sudden weakening of Dual Coiling Dragons’ power . How is it possible? Generally, it was he who used the Azure Electric Drive to electrocute others, but today, he was the one being electrocuted by others!? He could not fathom this!
In the blink of an eye, Zeus’ arm muscles began to swell uncontrollably as his blood started surging like a stream.
Crack…
A crisp sound of muscles and bones clashing with each other rang as the three arms clashed with each other. Du Peng’s sleeve was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Zeus quickly pulled his ten fingers from Du Peng’s arm as he fiercely raised his right knee and kneed towards Du Peng’s jaw, taking advantage of his height.
The basin-like huge kneecap swished through the air, giving rise to the howling of winds. Facing such a gale of wind, Du Peng’s uniform flapped constantly as if this gale could blow him away.
Meanwhile, Du Peng’s arm went numb from the shock as the electric current shot straight to his shoulder and rushed to his heart! When a human heart is given an electric shock, it could even make a dead heart start beating. And when a beating heart is given an electric shock, the current can paralyze the heart muscles, impairing the heart function, disrupting the blood flow, which in turn would lead to insufficient oxygen, which would make the body feel tired.
The sharp, blade-like ten fingers of Zeus immediately left ten red spots on Du Peng’s arm. With the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary blocked and unable to advance, Du Peng’s pressed forward as he retracted his arm and elbowed downwards, ruthlessly smashing on the basin-like kneecap.
BOOM! The elbow and kneecap clashed with a muffled, thunder-like clap. Taking advantage of the recoil from the blow, Du Peng pulled a seven to eight meters gap between the two. In the next moment, he immediately charged at Zeus like a bullet again the moment his feet touched the ground. Shaking his shoulder that was used for the cleaving cavalry, he mitigated some of the damage he had taken and quickly transferred the true energy into his arm as another Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary swished through the air.
Just as Zeus’ right foot hit the ground, pieces of reinforced concrete flew everywhere; the reinforced concrete had been cracked in several places. Before Zeus had the chance to dispel the numbing feeling on his knee, he was taken aback by Du Peng’s second charge.
So fast!? Zeus shook his ankle as he ran the Azure Electric Drive to his kneecap! While at it, he displayed the Dual Coiling Dragon, once more!
BOOM!
After another lightning-fast exchange, both sides separated again. Owing to the clash, everything went black before Zeus’ eyes. Discovering that Du Peng used another Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary after retreating, he was shocked over and over again. Is this guy unafraid of electricity? Does he not feel the slightest bit numb? Why does my arm feel so numb? Why does it feel like my body isn’t listening to my command?
BOOM!
As the third Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary clashed with the Dual Coiling Dragon, the surprise in Zeus’ eyes diminished. The power of this Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary is much lower than the previous two!
Zeus didn’t entangle his arms with the cleaving cavalry like before. He took half a step with his left leg and promptly twisted his waist. His body was like a high-speed tank. His step made a rumbling noise, splattering countless pieces of reinforced concrete everywhere, crashing into Du Peng’s chest.
Paleo martial arts! Eight Extreme Fists, Iron Mountain Thrust!
Xing Wuyi’s eyes bloomed with a sharp gleam! Chance! Phaseless Water Bird Art – Water Bird Twisting the Neck! Even if he can’t chop Zeus’ head, cutting his carotid artery will not be a problem!
Well!? Xing Wuyi was stupified. Contrary to his expectation, Du Peng didn’t use the Phaseless Water Bird Art. Instead, he tapped his right foot on the ground, sidestepping to the left side and avoiding the oncoming blow before he thrust his two fingers of his left hand straight towards the back of Zeus’ ear like a long spear on an ancient battlefield!
Finger Thrust of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder!
Ears were the most difficult part of a human body to temper. And it was also the key location where several acupoints intersected. Listening to the swishing sound, Zeus dropped his left elbow and twisted it counter-clockwise, turning it into a spear with a thick end and smashing it at Du Peng’s fingers.
Why did he use the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art again? Xing Wuyi’s eyebrows twitched. He gave up such a perfect opportunity to use the Water Bird Twisting the Neck. Du Peng is too stubborn!
Under the lightning-fast exchange, as those weak-looking fingers of Du Peng ruthlessly clashed with Zeus’ iron-like elbow, both of them staggered forward. For a moment, they were back-to-back against each other.
Whether Zeus wanted it or not, he had no choice but to kick back like a donkey towards the back of Du Peng’s heart. His thick and strong leg was like the legendary hammer of Thor, his trousers flapped against the winds, making muffled thunder-like claps.
BOOM!
The same time Zeus kicked, Du Peng did the same. Owing to the explosive force of both sides, both of them were sent flying like two shells, opening a distance of thirty to forty meters in the blink of an eye.
As their feet touched the ground, their bodies could not mitigate the inertia completely. Only after having stepped three times could they completely stabilize themselves.
The audience was completely shaken by this thunderstorm-like lightning-fast exchange. This is is just the round of thirty-two! Why is their level much higher than the finals of any of the previous recruit tournaments? Are they really new recruits?
While everyone was still reeling from the shock, Zeus’ robust body suddenly shook, followed by his back, chest, his thick arms, and legs. In the blink of an eye, a dozen pinky finger-sized wounds broke open as blood gushed out from the wounds like a bloody mist, as if his blood was under some tremendous pressure.
What’s this?! Tens of thousands of the audience members were surprised at the same time. Du Peng did not hit Zeus on those places, why did he suffer such injuries?
In an instant, Zeus’ robust figure turned completely bloody. It seemed like he had been badly injured. At the sight of this, a majority of American recruits clenched their fists in worry. Their eyes were glued to that slowly grinning face of Zeus.
Watching Zeus happily smiling on the screen, the audience knit their brows, one after another, puzzled. This guy has suffered such injuries and yet he is smiling!? Like he has won!?
What a close call… Zeus wiped the sweat off his forehead. What a scary paleo martial art! Clearly, I have been hit in this place, yet the power exploded from another acupoint! Had I not pushed this power out in time, I am afraid it would have burst in my body in a hundred different places a thousandth of a second later. Then, I really would have been seriously injured.
Puff…
Du Peng opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of blood. Blood kept dripping down from his two fingers, again and again. Even the other eight fingers were slightly twitching as blue arcs of electricity jumped between them..
