It always felt like something was wrong... Although the person in front of them seemed to be indifferent to them, he had been protecting them in behavior, and no matter how awkward he was, he would not suddenly attack them. There must be something wrong with him in some way.
At the same time, Wing also swung his sword, just in time to block someone's fist. The eroding heat energy forced Wing to give up the weapon. The explosion that followed blew her back, and the heat wave swept across.
A drop of cold sweat broke out from her forehead.
"It's different from before, the feeling has completely changed... Could it be that I'm being controlled?"
As a defender, Tsubasa immediately noticed something was wrong during the confrontation, and at the same time, a voice came out and let out an admiration.
[Bingo! This is a special benefit for the winner, because he can’t fight temporarily? So I helped him and restored his abilities by fighting on his behalf.]
"What kind of benefit is it to control others!"
As Chris complained, her voice laughed and she explained:
[No, no, no, I haven't finished talking yet. Apart from the benefits, this is also a punishment - I have already mentioned the punishment for you entering the battlefield without permission. As the loser, it is enough for you to just watch... Since you don't
Isn't it nice to listen to the warning and let the winner judge your transgression? I think I am more sympathetic to reason.]
"What a joke!"
But no matter how much they resisted, the grim fact was already before them - the man who fought with them before had now become their enemy.
Huhu——
A little black energy emerged from Hao Qing's body. Starting from his heart, his body began to be covered with black blood vessel patterns, which were decorated with strange patterns on his red clothes. His pair of black pupils were even more expressionless.
The whites of his eyes faded away, completely turning into pitch black.
As the transformation was completed, the burns on Hao Qing's body faded, and his momentum skyrocketed. The generated heat flow caused the temperature to surge, and the hot wind stirred up. The pretenders subconsciously raised their arms to block it, and then they were shocked to find that their arms were burned.
"This is too exaggerated!"
Although they felt it when they watched him fight, it was only after facing him in person that they realized... how terrifying the man in front of them was.
[Just in time, let the battle that has not yet started unfold here. Who among you is stronger...just decide here!]
Hao Qing raised his hand silently, and the scarlet thermal energy bomb was released. The moment it flew out, it expanded to 100 meters, overwhelming the people who carried it.
"hateful!"
During this period, Chris tried to use bullets to detonate it, but the opponent ignored her attack and rushed forward.
"Yukine, Tachibana!"
Seeing this wing with the highest mobility among the three, the natural thought was to lead the three of them to avoid it.
However, the opponent didn't give them a chance at all, and saw only a red afterimage flash by. Hao Qing actually attacked first and reached behind them.
"...Oh!"
Although there was still hesitation in his heart, the situation was critical and facing him, Hibiki still clenched his fist and collided with him when the arm armor was fired.
Bang——
The fists of one large and one small collided together, the jets of air roared, and the opposing force acted on the two of them. The former was stable, while the latter couldn't bear the strength and staggered backwards.
Okay, so strong!
While Hibiki was sighing, the heat eroded into her body, and the resulting explosion caused her pain. At the same time, her body changed from a backward posture to ejection, flying right in front of Hao Qing.
"Tachibana!"
"That fool!"
Yi and Chris wanted to rescue them, but it was too late. Hao Qing punched them without mercy.
volt——
The punch containing heat flashed red and was about to explode. However, at the moment when it was about to hit, a yellow and white scarf wrapped around it blocked Hao Qing's fist.
As if in response, a red glimmer flickered from the scarf, and the hardened scarf actually blocked this fierce blow full of murderous intent.
"..."
Hao Qing was silent, about to withdraw his fist, but the next moment, a blazing red light burst out, and the scarf tightly tied into a shield spread out, and the heat reappeared like a volcanic eruption, surrounding the whole body and embellishing it into the crimson color of courage—
—The red gear reappeared, hitting Hao Qing with surging heat, forcing him to retreat.
Click——
Very quickly, he steadied his feet and grabbed Hibiki's scarf with his backhand. Regardless of the heat that came through him, he exerted a slight force and pulled Hibiki up, then swung him back and threw him out.
.
"Tachibana!"
Tsubasa stretched out his hand to catch it, but what he didn't expect was that it wasn't just Hibiki, but also a thermal bomb attached to Hibiki's scarf.
……Oops!
By the time it was discovered, it was already too late.
"you……!"
Seeing the two people flying backwards, Chrissy quickly gathered her energy and used her fully armed armedgear to output firepower at Haoqing, hoping to buy time for Hibiki and Tsubasa to get up.
The firepower point with Chris as the center roared and spit out tongues of fire. The machine guns combined with missiles formed an airtight firepower network, blocking all Hao Qing's hiding spaces.
In this case, even if it doesn't hurt him, it should be able to delay it for some time, right?
Chrissy had prepared the worst plan, but... what she didn't expect was that, facing her greatest firepower, Hao Qing had no intention of evading, and instead charged towards her at maximum speed.
passed.
"Are you kidding me?!"
The red film unfolded in front of him, and Chrissy's firepower fell on it. Apart from causing a ripple, it had no effect. Hao Qing just rushed forward with the firepower.
In the end, he seemed to be tired of holding one hand in front of him, so he didn't even block her, and just rushed in front of Chris.
Oops, he got close to me!
Chrissy, who had never expected this to happen, could only use the butt of her gun to try to block, and temporarily pulled out a small pistol to fire. However, the close-range gun fighting technique was completely ineffective in the face of the power gap.
The armed gear interrupted the damage, and the attack that I thought would not affect the body turned into a cone-shaped thrust that penetrated the chest and abdomen.
"Ugh!"
The severe pain caused Kris to kneel directly to the ground. Hao Qing threw the exploded fragments of the armedgear behind him without hesitation, raised his hand to grab Kris' head, and was about to strike with a charged killing punch.
But just when he was about to hit, Hao Qing seemed to feel something. He temporarily opened his fist into his palm, released a scarlet thermal bomb, and with a hiss, interrupted the sword blade behind him that was trying to insert the shadow.
However, the blue guard that followed closely attracted his attention. Just as he was shifting, a roar came from behind.
"Ohhhhhhhh!"
The dangerous tingling sensation prompted him to turn his head, and the hot drill bit rotated towards him.
The spraying flames emitted no less heat energy than the fists and feet in front of him.
But it didn't matter - Hao Qing calmly blocked Chris in front of him, successfully forcing Hibiki to brake forcefully.
"Little Chrissy!"
"Idiot...just leave me alone now!"
Chris struggled as she spoke, trying to interfere with Hao Qing who was behind her, but Hao Qing grabbed her hand like an iron pliers. No matter how she struggled and resisted, the grip remained stable, and even in the end, her palm popped out.
A scarlet electric current was emitted, paralyzing Chris's whole body along with the grip.
"...Ouch!"
"Little Chrissy!"
This made Hibiki become anxious on the spot, and he moved forward to continue charging.
But unexpectedly, before she could rush over, Hao Qing took the initiative to throw Chris into her arms.
At first, Xiang didn't think much, and opened her arms to hug him, but Yi shouted and warned her: "Don't pick it up!"
Thinking of the explosion that had occurred on her body in front of her, she started to retreat like a conditioned reflex. That's it, it was still too late - the electric current in Chris's body began to gather heat energy, all turned into the power of the explosion, and she was killed on the spot.
It exploded.
"Uh-huh!"
Hibiki couldn't completely avoid it. She relied on the scarf behind her on the ground to barely withstand the force. The burning pain in her body couldn't be concealed, causing her to shake for a while before kneeling on the ground.
"Little Chrissy..."
But no matter how much physical pain she felt, it couldn't compare to her concern for her companions.
But Hao Qing in front of him would not let go of this perfect flaw, but just when he was about to step forward...
