Monster vs. Clown (3): Fox Shadow Style - Rakshasa Palm

Monster vs. Clown (3): Fox Shadow Style - Rakshasa Palm

Bai Cangshu seemed not to hear Evans's words. He merely stared at Evans, his hair slightly standing on end as every pore on his body opened.

He was completely fired up.

This was what real combat felt like.

Even during the trial missions, the people he had encountered were either too weak, like those assassins and bodyguards, or too strong, like Mercenary Tao and the Reincarnators from Team 64323 afterward. There had been no thrill of an evenly matched battle.

The only fight that had come close was the one against Qing She, but that woman's fighting style had been too extreme, specializing in poison and strangulation. After Bai Cangshu activated the so-called Absolute Territory, he had crushed her in an instant with absolute violence.

At this moment, what Clown Evans gave Bai Cangshu was the true sense of interaction in battle.

He had actually long guessed that Evans possessed considerable martial arts and fighting ability.

After all, the bait Evans had shown him was that Ability Scroll: Magic Spear.

For a Reincarnator to reveal something like that to him, combined with the agility Evans had displayed, it was hard for Bai Cangshu not to imagine his potential fighting style.

But seeing this kind of martial art from the Kengan World for the first time still amazed Bai Cangshu.

That ingenious borrowing and redirecting of force truly had a bit of the bearing of ancient Tai Chi martial arts.

Li Chenchen frowned. He increasingly sensed a quality in Bai Cangshu that made him uneasy.

Were those eyes really something a Reincarnator who had just passed a trial mission should possess?

Even for a Reincarnator with a Special Number, this was far too outrageous.

He found it hard to believe there were people in this world who truly feared no death. Did Bai Cangshu really think he was stronger than him?

Absurd!

Li Chenchen himself had not realized that, ever since Bai Cangshu appeared, he had not worn that mocking smile of having everything under control for a long time.

Li Chenchen's breathing rhythm shifted slightly, and the flowing sensation vanished. The next moment, he stomped down hard, and all the strength in his body erupted in an instant.

Niko Style: Flame Kata - Blazing Fire!

Bang!

Amid a thunderous blast, the distance of four or five meters vanished in an instant. As Bai Cangshu's pupils trembled, the figure before him disappeared.

As a fierce gust bore down on him, Bai Cangshu suddenly leaned backward. His body bent like an agile water snake in an instant. Not only that, he swung both hands back, causing his entire body to sway violently.

His left foot exerted force and twisted his body around, while his right foot slipped in beside Evans. His center of gravity rose in an instant, and he suddenly appeared at Evans's side as well.

He raised both hands, his exertion identical to the motion Evans had just used to break his balance and throw him.

At that moment, Li Chenchen's heart seemed to skip a beat. He was certain that move was indeed Niko Style: Water Kata - Willow.

How was that possible...

How could someone replicate such a movement after seeing it only once...

Unless he had a Pupil Technique like the Sharingan.

Could Bai Cangshu's trial world have happened to be the Kengan World as well?

Or had he bought this ability at a stall?

In an instant, enormous confusion and doubt arose in Li Chenchen's heart, shattering his state of intense concentration.

Bai Cangshu pushed with both hands.

Bang!

A violent collision erupted.

Bai Cangshu was sent flying by the enormous force, while Li Chenchen did not fare much better. Under the impact of the two forces, he staggered back several steps and slammed directly into the wall.

Bai Cangshu quickly got to his feet. He shook his head and looked at his hands.

"That move of yours is indeed ingenious. I didn't have a good grasp of your force just now. Again!"

Li Chenchen's heart sank. Bai Cangshu had not mastered Niko Style martial arts. He was actually learning during their fight...

Something like this actually existed.

For no reason, he suddenly recalled a secret from the Reincarnation Space concerning Special Numbers.

Legend had it that not all Reincarnators were recruited by the Space and entered trial missions before being selected.

There were an extremely small number of heaven-chosen individuals. Those people were born with talents acknowledged by the Space and could naturally see the special marks of Reincarnators.

Such people were called The Chosen.

Every one of The Chosen was an asset to the Space. They possessed unique status and could even steal a portion of the Space's authority.

Could the Bai Cangshu before him be one of The Chosen?!

Bang!

The sound of a heavy stomp rang out. Li Chenchen abruptly came back to his senses, but his field of vision was already empty.

Not good!

He instantly realized that Bai Cangshu was imitating Niko Style: Flame Kata - Blazing Fire.

Bai Cangshu's movements were explosive. He could already tell that this Clown Evans's agility attribute was probably above his own.

With the boost from Sequence 8 - Clown, his physical flexibility and speed had both vaguely surpassed Bai Cangshu's.

But on the other hand, Bai Cangshu's strength was above Evans's.

A smile curled up at Bai Cangshu's lips. When he unleashed Flame Kata - Blazing Fire, it was even more explosive.

As the floor shattered in an instant, Bai Cangshu appeared behind Evans.

Just as Evans raised a hand to defend, Bai Cangshu had already punched him in the back.

Puh!

Li Chenchen rolled forward several times, trying to dissipate the force, but he still spat out a mouthful of blood.

A tearing pain spread through his chest and lungs with every breath.

Not good. My internal organs are injured.

A flash of light appeared in Li Chenchen's hand, and a scroll emerged. He tore it open and slapped it onto his chest. Green Chakra instantly flowed into his body, easing the pain in his lungs somewhat.

He slowly rose to his feet and discovered that Bai Cangshu had not pressed his advantage. Instead, he stood where he was, watching his movements.

Li Chenchen exhaled a foul breath tinged with the taste of rust.

"Bai Cangshu, you're strong. I acknowledge you. Perhaps..."

"We can talk."

At this moment, Li Chenchen was not trying to deceive Bai Cangshu. He had truly realized the immense potential Bai Cangshu possessed.

A monster who could master techniques Li Chenchen had learned through an Ability Scroll after seeing them only once simply could not be judged by common sense.

There was little to gain from making an enemy of such a person.

He had already lost a Medical Ninjutsu Scroll. If they continued fighting, his losses would likely become even greater.

The ecology among Reincarnators was a primitive jungle. Everyone was both predator and prey.

Successfully hunting other Reincarnators certainly brought considerable rewards, but if one exposed a weakness, one would instantly become another Reincarnator's prey. It was not worth the risk.

Li Chenchen was inclined to negotiate.

But Bai Cangshu's smile only widened, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that looked somewhat chilling in the dim basement.

Bai Cangshu shook his head.

"No, no, no, Evans. Our battle has only just begun. How can we end it with a whimper?"

He licked his slightly dry lips, his voice trembling faintly with delight.

"Use everything you've got. Let's happily... slaughter each other."

Bang!

The floor shattered once more, and Bai Cangshu vanished in an instant.

Li Chenchen's heart tightened, but he immediately focused his attention on his blind spots.

Most martial arts in the Kengan World still remained at the level of technique. This kind of high-speed footwork, aside from explosive power, relied more on exploiting the blind spots in human vision.

At that moment, his thoughts were incomparably clear. He could even see Bai Cangshu's arrogance with perfect clarity.

This monster of a newcomer... thought he had me completely figured out...

Li Chenchen suddenly dispersed his Niko Style stance. He held his right hand flat like a blade, drawing it back while continuously rotating it, his muscles twisting violently.

As Bai Cangshu's pupils contracted sharply, Li Chenchen struck out with his palm.

Terrifying force, accompanied by intensely twisting power, erupted in an instant.
