Chapter 647: Attraction and Repulsion

"Hmph, forget it, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Van Cleef chuckled behind his mask and tilted his head.

Then, a powerful force appeared out of nowhere and acted on Xia Shou. The two sides were like a pair of magnets that attracted each other, approaching each other at a very fast speed!

Both the thunder gun and the wind blade bullet would be absorbed and rebounded by the other side, turning into the power to attack themselves. Then, without using the mask, there was only one means of attack left.

Xia Shou swung his fist, and his arm was like a swinging hammer, hitting Van Cleef's neck.

At the same time, a dagger slipped out of Van Cleef's sleeve, and after holding it, it stabbed straight into Xia Shou's heart.

Xia Shou observed his and Van Cleef's movements.

In a high-intensity confrontation, it is impossible to calculate the enemy's attack trajectory and speed as accurately as an arithmetician. In a short moment, you have to calculate the acceleration and the extreme angle of joint rotation, and use vision to visually estimate the precise distance.

The amount of calculation is too huge. After all the information enters the retina through light, it must be transmitted by nerves and the environmental information is sent to the brain through bioelectric signals before calculation can be performed. Therefore, there must be a delay in the human body's reaction.

It is impossible for ordinary people to dodge through the ongoing actions in the extremely fast mutual attack, so masters do not calculate, but rely on intuition and experience!

Experience can predict the actions that the opponent will take in the future, but intuition cannot be expressed in words. This is a fighting instinct.

But Xia Shou is different. The nerve impulses in his body do not follow the normal conduction logic. The scorpion spine makes each part of his body exist independently, and the exaggerated reaction speed makes him as fast as a dragonfly, and even has room for calculation!

Xia Shou judged that his fist would hit the opponent first!

"Swish!"

The sonic boom exploded between the two people. Xia Shou tried his best to get out, and one ear was cut off directly.

The scalp at the left ear position was cut off due to the sharp airflow.

So fast!

Xia Shou opened his eyes wide in shock, staring at Van Cleef's empty hand. The dagger that was supposed to be in his hand disappeared the moment he loosened his fingers. If Xia Shou hadn't observed the other party's loosening of his fingers and predicted it by intuition, he would have backtracked now.

"You are the only one who can hide?" Van Cleef laughed.

Before he finished speaking, Xia Shou felt a slight sting on his back.

At the moment of the sting, Xia Shou directly launched [Flash Kill]!

Everything happened in an instant. Xia Shou had no time to think about the logic of the other party's attack, and he had already swapped positions with Van Cleef.

Van Cleef, who had switched positions, had the dagger that had just flown out suspended in front of his chest.

This dagger that had returned completed a silent blind spot sneak attack at supersonic speed.

When the assassination target on the flight trajectory became Van Cleef, the speed of the dagger was directly reduced from supersonic speed to zero!

Van Cleef, wearing a mask, had no expression on his face. He did not pause at all, as if he had guessed that this would happen. He shook his other hand lightly, and a large amount of red powder spilled out of his sleeve.

The moment the powders scattered from his sleeves, they seemed to be blown by a strong wind and flew straight towards Xia Shou.

"Boom!"

Before they touched, the powders turned into raging fire in the air.

The flames filled Xia Shou's vision. Before the flames approached, the scorching heat had already curled his sweat hair.

Looking at the wall of fire in front of him, Xia Shou's mouth corners rose.

He had been defeated.

There was no point in exchanging positions with the other party now.

Even if the positions were exchanged, the dagger floating in front of Van Cleef's chest would still exist and would pierce him instantly.

But if he did not change positions and retreated directly, he would not be able to avoid this high-speed moving wall of fire.

Xia Shou has finished his analysis. Van Cleef's ability is not only gravity, but also repulsion. When repulsion acts on a lighter object, it can gain great power, so he can make the dagger reach such an exaggerated speed in an instant.

The same is true for these powders. Rather than saying that the flames are approaching, it is better to say that the burning powders are pushed towards him by Van Cleef's repulsion.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the dodge skill of "flash kill by attack" are infinitely magnified.

Within three seconds of using [flash kill by attack], other abilities cannot be used. Under Van Cleef's stormy attack, let alone three seconds, there is not even 0.5 seconds of breathing time.

Xia Shou's clothes turned into flying ash in an instant, and his skin was like pig skin baked by a blowtorch, cracking and blackening quickly. The blood was evaporated into blood scabs before it flowed out, solidified in the cracked wound, and the outermost part was directly carbonized.

"Why didn't you use the mirror power just now? Didn't you react? Didn't you wear that special suit?" Van Cleef turned around and looked at the dark Xia Shou standing behind him, and asked curiously.

Xia Shou coughed hard twice, and hot blood spurted out of his mouth with burning heat.

"It's not... ordinary fire, but extraordinary material?"

Xia Shou's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

After saying that, Xia Shou's knees softened and he supported the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling.

Van Cleef said lightly: "I am different from you. I always go all out. As long as I can win, I will use all of them, whether it is misleading or extraordinary props.

However, you are really able to survive. If an ordinary person is burned like this, he must be dead. Is it the effect of the scorpion spine?"

Xia Shou remained silent, breathing hard, taking in the thin oxygen.

Every time he inhaled, the air was like a cold knife stabbing into his trachea, cutting and scraping all the way down.

During this process, he could clearly feel some sticky phlegm-like liquid slowly sliding down his trachea and esophagus.

The heart in his left chest was beating very violently, and his vitality was even greater than when he was healthy.

Although the injury was exaggerated, for some reason, Xia Shou felt in excellent condition!

The pain all over his body seemed to be separated by a barrier, which was very unreal. The pain and normal thinking were like two departments of the brain, completely separated... It was a magical experience.

Now, as long as he put on the mask, he could easily defeat him. After all, this guy's deadline was only this level.

But the condescending tone was really annoying. Did he really think everything was under control?

Simply, don't look back, put on the mask.

Let this arrogant man see what real power is.

Xia Shou gritted his teeth and used his legs to stand up from the ground. The wet blood was squeezed out from the crisscrossing cracks on his thighs and flowed along the wounds, like a river moistening the dry land.

Van Cleef was stunned for a moment, and he found that Xia Shou was actually laughing!

"Thank you for reminding me, I really shouldn't have hidden it... Next, open your eyes!"
