Chapter 81: Are They Still Human?
Kyogoku Makoto was drenched in sweat, but his gaze became even calmer as he looked at Chi Feichei's consistently indifferent Eyes. He couldn't figure out if Chi Feichei really didn't care about taking lives, and coupled with being suppressed for so long, the anger in his heart was also rising.
Chi Feichei attacked again. This time, Kyogoku Makoto seemed to be a step slower, only managing to avoid the Vital Point. An Elbow Strike landed solidly on Kyogoku Makoto's side ribs, but he wasn't happy at all.
Given Kyogoku Makoto's State, it wasn't time for mistakes yet!
Dodge!
Kyogoku Makoto gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his ribs, immediately launching a Backhand Strike. He used the opportunity to change direction while creating distance, and in the instant his Center of Gravity shifted, he suddenly kicked out.
Crescent Moon Kick!
During their fight, they had already approached the Edge of the Open Space Forest. Originally, Kyogoku Makoto was forced to the Beside the Tree and decided to go all out, but with this change of direction, he had reversed the Situation. Chi Feichei, however, was now facing a Sure Kill Situation with his back against the Tree.
In the instant Kyogoku Makoto's Foot kicked out, Chi Feichei also Leaped forcefully, borrowing strength from On the Tree again, and flipped over Kyogoku Makoto from above.
And in the instant Kyogoku Makoto kicked out, he also realized he had misunderstood.
If it were a sneak attack or against an ordinary person, Chi Feichei's Attacks would indeed be fatal, but now that they were both warmed up, he could avoid the Vital Point of those Attacks no matter what.
Just like just now, in the instant he kicked out, although he hadn't expected Chi Feichei to directly use the Tree to flip over from above, he believed that Chi Feichei would definitely not be kicked in the Vital Point, at most he would be Injured and lose Combat Power.
Someone who could train their Fighting Skills to this level, would they still be afraid of Injury?
Injury was simply a Common Occurrence. Since they wouldn't die or become crippled, what else was there to say?
Fight all out!
After Chi Feichei flipped over from the air, he immediately followed up with Action. Kyogoku Makoto's Mind raced for a moment, but it was only an instant. His subconscious Reaction was enough to Handle it.
The Big Tree that had been kicked by Kyogoku Makoto belatedly made a few sounds, cracking with a 'kacha' sound on the side, and slowly falling to the side.
Neither of them paid any attention. Their Eyes were fixed on each other's Hands and Feet, and their Minds were analyzing the opponent's next Action trajectory, their own Method of coping, and how to Counterattack in the most skillful way after coping.
In addition, the Pace of the battle was fast and swift, leaving no chance to even catch their breath, let alone be distracted.
Boom!
The Big Tree fell to the Ground, kicking up a large cloud of Smoke and Dust.
The two people here were not alarmed, but it did alarm Conan and Haibara Ai, who had entered the Forest to search.
Conan was stunned for a moment, looking at the Smoke and Dust soaring into the sky under the Moonlight over there, but not seeing Firelight or anything like that, "This is..."
Judging by this Situation, it's probably a Tree falling?
However, with such a big commotion, the Tree that fell must be quite Big Tree. There are no Flames, so it's not a Heavy Weapon. Could it have been chopped down?
Even if you swung an axe to chop, it would take a while, right?
Haibara Ai was also stunned for a moment, and looked down at her surroundings, "Looking at the Trace, they should have gone that way..."
"Let's go take a look!" Conan immediately ran over. Now there was no need to look for Traces left on the Ground, just go directly to the Place where the Tree fell.
The landmark was obvious, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Could it be a Trap?
For example, chop the Tree until it's about to fall, and then call people over to be crushed to death by the Tree?
But to chop down a Big Tree to make a Trap, isn't that too much trouble?
Chopping down a Tree will leave Traces, it's impossible to Disguise it as an Accident...
Chi Feichei wouldn't be so careless, could it be that the Boss wants to kill Chi Feichei?
...
In front of the Open Ground, the two people still didn't know that Conan had listed them as 'victims' and 'murderers' in his Mind, and even considered how they would die and what Opening the Method would leave.
The Action was still continuing.
Another unlucky Tree was punched twice by Kyogoku Makoto. Half a minute later, the third punch landed on the Tree. This Tree, which was greatly favored by the Heavens, finally couldn't withstand the destruction. In the 'kaka' sound, the two Crack that were very close together slowly overlapped and fell backward.
Chi Feichei couldn't completely Dodge this Attack. Even though he was hit on the side, his left arm was faintly aching, but he didn't intend to call a stop.
There are many Conditions that determine Victory or Defeat in battle, and the State of both sides is one of them, and there are many factors that affect the State of both sides.
Today, the Environment in the Forest is quiet, the Summer Night Temperature is comfortable, and this Vacant Land looks more and more pleasing to the eye. Both sides are in good State, and the first battle is also easily aroused Fighting Spirit by a certain wonderful performance of the opponent... The Opportunity is rare, and it is estimated that there will only be this once in this lifetime. After understanding each other, it will be difficult to create this kind of Situation.
It would be a real pity not to fight until exhaustion and not determine Victory or Defeat!
Kyogoku Makoto also thought so, so even though he was slightly Injured, he didn't mean to call a stop at all.
Boom!
The slowly falling Tree finally landed on the Ground, again kicking up a cloud of Smoke and Dust.
Conan, who was running over, paused his Footsteps, confirmed the direction. It was slightly deviated from the last time, but still in the same direction.
"What exactly are they doing here?" Haibara Ai couldn't help but ask, not complaining, but genuinely confused.
"Uh, we're almost there, we'll know when we get there..." Conan also couldn't figure it out, and continued to run in that direction, illuminating the Ground with his Watch Flashlight.
The two ran all the way, and at the Edge of the Vacant Land, they finally saw two figures moving and shifting under the Moonlight.
On the Ground on the other two sides, there were indeed two Big Tree fallen.
Conan and Haibara Ai stared blankly at the Dazzling confrontation, feeling that their Eyes were a little unable to capture the interweaving movements.
It was the first time they felt that battle could be attractive, because they wanted to see the Situation clearly, but before their Minds could react, new changes appeared again, and then their Minds continued to digest, their Eyes continued to watch, their Minds continued to digest... falling into a cycle.
However, compared to the live battles or battle Videos they had seen before, this battle in front of them was indeed much more exciting.
That Reaction Speed and ghostly Attacks, they were simply two non-humans!
Just as the two were watching in a daze, a Tree not far from them was kicked by Kyogoku Makoto, with a 'kacha' sound, and slowly fell over.
Conan suddenly woke up, "Haibara, Dodge quickly!"
Haibara Ai's Reaction was not slow either, and she immediately ran away.
The Big Tree slowly tilted, and then crashed to the Ground.
"Cough cough..." Conan covered his mouth and nose, and continued to run to the other side with Haibara Ai, away from the flying Smoke and Dust, before wiping his Face that was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Haibara Ai also wiped her Face, her gaze catching the two people over there who were completely unaffected and still fighting. Expressionless, her clear and cold voice had a hint of dullness, "Are they still human?"
"Probably..." Conan didn't continue.
Probably already not considered... human anymore?
No... wait!
Conan frowned slightly, adjusted his Glasses, closed the distance, and his expression also became serious.
Seeing that the two people were full of vitality, he thought that neither of them was Injured, but just now he seemed to see someone get hit.
Just now, Kyogoku Makoto finally seized an Opening. After missing a kick, he twisted his waist and quickly threw a punch.
To be honest, he didn't even know if his Attacks could still be considered Karate anymore.
This punch, Chi Feichei couldn't Dodge it. Facing a punch from a Humanoid Beast, directly taking it head-on was definitely unwise, he could only try to use the Force-Unloading Method of Tai Chi to try and deflect it.
He wasn't sure if Tai Chi could Handle Kyogoku Makoto's punch.
Because his skills were not proficient... He wasn't originally specialized in Tai Chi, he had only practiced with a Teacher for a while in his previous life, and roughly understood the form. He completely treated it as a Warm-up exercise, and still a Warm-up exercise with not very obvious effects.
In the instant of contact, Chi Feichei understood that some of the force had been unloaded, but he still couldn't take it head-on. While quickly launching an Attack and forcing Kyogoku Makoto to retract his Strength, he also twisted his Hand slightly.
Dislocation is always better than a broken Bone...
A broken Bone would take a long time to heal. If it's a Dislocation, as long as it's put back in time, it can heal in two or three days with the swelling going down and avoiding heavy lifting.
On the other side, Kyogoku Makoto's punch was thrown with full Strength, and he couldn't retract much Strength, let alone Resist Chi Feichei's Attack.
Chi Feichei's Attacks, although the Strength was not as astonishing as his, the Burst Strength was not weak either, and in the time it took him to make one Attack, Chi Feichei could at least launch two Attacks.
This exchange was a mutual Injury!
