Chapter 192

"You stupid brother, I beat him, I also caught him; now it's your turn!" This is the first and only sentence Liu Xiaotian said after planting himself in front of Zha'erbi.

After saying that, he still felt a bit regretful.

Because Zha'erbi didn't utter a word of nonsense; he went straight into action as soon as they met.

In comparison, his behavior, which seemed like showing off and trying to provoke, appeared rather low-class.

As soon as they exchanged blows, Liu Xiaotian found himself at a disadvantage.

To be honest, Zha'erbi's strength is absolutely solid, with no weakness.

Compared to his brother Zabuka, who knows how many levels higher he is.

All we can say is that Zha'erbi's speed is truly too fast.

at one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

Although he didn't go all out, the attack started from this punch and continued without a break for as long as thirty to forty seconds, not even pausing for 0.5 seconds.

And this was only with his left fist; what if he used his right?

Zha'erbi completely had the posture of not letting up once he had the advantage; starting from the first punch that made Liu Xiaotian's reaction somewhat hasty and flustered, his attacks became one punch faster and fiercer than the last, clearly intending to seize the moment and defeat Liu Xiaotian in one go.

A right hook came up, and everything ended then. Liu Xiaotian certainly wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

On the Red Blood Cell Group's side, besides Xu Tianlong, even Chen Shanming was filled with worry over Liu Xiaotian's situation; his fists clenched involuntarily, he several times raised his gun aiming, but ultimately silently lowered it, his face full of anxiety.

Just as Liu Xiaotian's words hadn't completely faded, Zha'erbi stepped forward and threw a clean, direct left straight punch to the face.

As for Liu Xiaotian, aside from being a bit flustered at the start, he quickly steadied himself amidst Zha'erbi's increasingly fierce attacks; no matter how Zha'erbi pressed step by step, he could never tear open Liu Xiaotian's defense.

Only Xu Tianlong, after the initial tension, actually gradually relaxed.

That speed was truly too fast.

He clearly knew that if it were him standing before Zha'erbi right now, there would be at least an eighty percent chance he'd already be down.

During this process, Chen Shanming and the two others, plus Xu Tianlong and Li Erniu who arrived later, altogether five hearts were lifted to their throats.

Of course, the situation where one completely grasps the opponent's strength is not among them.

In Liu Xiaotian's view, besides that person who has a "mysterious relationship" with the Warrior School's Elder Principal, "Western Old Yang Guo," absolutely no one could match him.

Only in that way could he possibly achieve final victory.

Although Liu Xiaotian thought his judgment of Zha'erbi's strength had already reached a high standard, the fact proved it was still somewhat low.

However, Zha'erbi's probing was not just a casual-looking jab that ended there.

But if one uses shoulders, arms, etc., to block and defuse Zha'erbi's attacks, it's still not a problem.

Whichever fist the opponent throws, when dodging you must definitely move in that direction.

The Zha'erbi before him is absolutely the strongest opponent he has encountered since coming to this world, without equal.

For an opponent one knows nothing about, anyone would first choose to probe, only after basically gauging the opponent's strength would they launch a formal attack.

If it weren't for the current Liu Xiaotian, whose combat power underwent a qualitative leap after officially becoming a First-Class Special Forces Soldier, this punch alone could have knocked him out directly.

Only at the thirty- to forty-second mark did Zha'erbi's attacks first show a gap, but it was merely a brief 0.5 seconds.

Although Liu Xiaotian reacted instantly, leaning his upper body back swiftly while swaying left to dodge, he still clearly felt the incoming fist wind. If it were reversed, well… it wouldn't matter; just brace for the beating.

After all, for most people, the right punch is the heavy one.

Especially Xu Tianlong, who comes from a martial arts family, couldn't help but draw a sharp breath upon seeing Zha'erbi's nearly uninterrupted consecutive attacks.

Moreover, it's obvious that the current Liu Xiaotian is merely using a small cost to strive for the greatest benefit for himself.

Otherwise, would the owl dare to place him here as its greatest and final sole reliance?

Liu Xiaotian certainly doesn't believe Zha'erbi has the same system-assisted support as he does, so his stamina recovery speed definitely won't be as fast as his own.

Describing this punch's speed as "swift as the wind, fast as lightning" is absolutely not an exaggeration.

Liu Xiaotian noticed that, at that very moment, Zha'erbi's step seemed to pause slightly.

The reason is simple: because swaying away in the direction of the opponent's punching hand is absolutely safe.

In fact, the current Liu Xiaotian is also gritting his teeth and holding on.

What Liu Xiaotian is doing now is simply using his bodily toughness to hard-block Zha'erbi's fists, then, once his stamina drops to a certain point, look for a chance to strike him unexpectedly.

And for an expert, even a tiny flaw will be firmly seized, let alone such a serious mistake as "leaving the gate wide open."

It's not that he undervalues himself; he's simply being realistic.

Besides, who would launch a heavy punch the moment the two sides first clash? Going all‑out right away is a major taboo.

If you dodge to the right against a left punch, do you think his right punch won't move?

Liu Xiaotian certainly wouldn't think that meeting Zha'erbi would bring any surprise.

As for why he quickly leaned back and then swayed left to dodge, it was because Zha'erbi threw a left punch.

Thus, with such dense attack speed and frequency, even if Zha'erbi is strong, the consumption and decline of his stamina will inevitably be huge.

Because, whether in martial arts or fighting, openings often appear when launching an attack.

This is the standard dodging method in boxing.

Because he saw clearly, Liu Xiaotian adapted to Zha'erbi's attack style in less than ten seconds.

As for his strength, probably only Liu Xiaotian, who is currently fighting him, has the right to say.

Although it also hurt a lot, and after taking a few hits his shoulder felt swollen all around, Liu Xiaotian still thought that such cost and gain were absolutely proportional.

Zha'erbi's strength, if directly resisted or if hit in a vital spot, Liu Xiaotian definitely couldn't withstand.

Liu Xiaotian wouldn't be so foolish as to think Zha'erbi is also a brute.

If he wasn't seeing double, the fact that this situation occurred in such continuous attacks indicates that Zha'erbi's leg is somewhat not agile.

It's very likely because he was injured.

Also at that moment, Liu Xiaotian threw his first counterpunch.

Although it had no effect, not even touching Zha'erbi's collar, at least he's no longer purely passive defense, right?
