"That suits me perfectly. Bring it on! I'm not some stepping stone!"

Li Ren lowered his body, spread his hands in front of him, and stared intently at Liu Longguang's movements.

If it's a contest of sharpness, I'm not afraid!

If you seize the opportunity, you can use [Razor's Edge] to cut the long rope, or even directly cleave the scythe itself, rendering the opponent's weapon useless!

Come on, I'm ready!

Li Ren opened his eyes wide, his mind flashing through several paths of the flying scythes, waiting for Liu Longguang to make his move.

—Here it comes!

cough!

Liu Longguang swung his right arm toward his left shoulder, his fingers pulling on the long rope, causing the sickle to rise from below.

But to everyone's surprise, Liu Longguang aimed at a pebble on the ground!

Snapped!

A pebble, only a third the size of a fist, was sent flying by the sickle, hurtling straight forward like a bullet.

Liren was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the left eye by a stone.

boom!

In an instant, blood splattered all over Rito's face, like a gruesome red flower blooming, causing him to close his eyes tightly.

Before he could even react, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his right side.

puff!

Liu Longguang swept his other sickle horizontally, the tip of which pierced Li Ren's right ribs. He then pulled the long rope to remove the knife, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound.

"Huh—?!"

Rito covered his left eye, his right eye wide open, bloodshot and realizing that this level of injury was serious.

He quickly tore open his shirt and covered the deep stab wound to prevent excessive blood loss.

But in doing so, both of Rito's hands were occupied.

Faced with Liu Longguang's two sickles, he could only retreat repeatedly, with no room for counterattack.

The next second—

Liu Longguang's gaze sharpened. "It's over!"

The sickle was swung out quickly.

But even though he was looking at Rito, the target of his scythe sweep was Shiraki Sho!

cough!

In an instant, Shiramu Cheng crouched down to dodge, but the shirt he was wearing was still suspended in mid-air and was stabbed and torn away by the sweeping scythe.

Snapped!

Liu Longguang retrieved the two sickles, and also wrapped the long rope around his hand.

He looked up and saw Bai Mucheng, who was wrapped in bandages but could still crouch and dodge. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and praise, "Good eyesight!"

Bai Mucheng squatted down, supporting himself with his right hand on the ground, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

He guessed that Liu Longguang would launch a sneak attack, but the speed of the scythe's sweep was far beyond his expectations, and he almost couldn't dodge it!

Meanwhile, Yamashita Kazuo, who was hiding on the other side, suddenly noticed that there were bloodstains on the bandages on Shiraki Sei's back, as if the wound had reopened.

Oh no... this is terrible...

Yamashita Kazuo was covered in sweat, his eyes darting back and forth between Shiraki Sei and Ryu Ryu-kwang.

Hey, are you kidding me? Is this guy going to fight to the death with his wounds reopened?! And against such a dangerous guy at that!

"……snort!"

Liu Longguang snorted, "Weapons manipulated by ropes or chains have tips that travel faster than the limits of vision."

"However, all the movements of the weapon originate from the user's hand control, so by observing the user, the trajectory of the weapon can be predicted."

"—That's what you think, right?"

Liu Longguang removed the long rope from the end of a sickle and threw it aside, leaving only a sharp blade on the entire chain sickle.

"This will be faster, let's play some more."

"..."

Liu Longguang, holding a single sickle, was about to throw it and swing it to attack Bai Mucheng again when he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him.

Pfft!

It sounds like a heartbeat...

But would a heartbeat be that "loud"?!

Suddenly, a hoarse whisper came from behind Liu Longguang, mixed with a ferocious smell of blood.

"That constant chatter is so annoying..."

Liu Longguang turned his head and saw that the Ten Demon Snake King Ma, whom he had knocked unconscious earlier, now had red skin all over his body, with veins bulging out visibly.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

A deeper, more muffled heartbeat, like the beating of a drum, emanated from Wang Ma's body.

"Hey, you guy with the sickle, I have something to ask you..."

Wang Ma braced himself on the ground, stood up with a thud, opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and growled hoarsely, "What the hell did you say about Erhuliu?!"

He had been pursuing and fighting all the way to avenge his master, and therefore he would never allow anyone to underestimate his Erhu style!

despair!!

Wang Ma stomped his feet on the ground with such force that he even shattered the floor tiles, and rushed towards Liu Longguang, throwing punches with all his might.

Liu Longguang immediately raised his arm to block, but was hit in the forearm by Wang Ma's heavy punch, which made him roll backward and the kusarigama in his hand fell to the ground.

It's so heavy!

Liu Longguang pushed off the ground and retreated, creating some distance between them. While rubbing his wrists, he looked up at Wang Ma and asked, "Did you do 'that'?"

"Ah? So you knew..."

Wang Ma spat out a mouthful of blood, grinning maliciously, "Yeah, I went to [pre-borrow]!"

Boom! !

With another kick, Wang Ma charged forward, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks at Liu Longguang. His speed was more than twice as fast as before, and the force of each strike was heavier than the last.

Bang bang bang!

Liu Longguang was forced to retreat repeatedly, as if he was about to be completely suppressed.

But just as Rito and Kazuo Yamashita, who were watching from the sidelines, thought the battle was about to be decided, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared—

puff!

Blood suddenly spurted from the inside of Wang Ma's right wrist as he swung it. Upon closer inspection, three scratches were clearly visible, as if he had been cut by something.

"--what!?"

Rihito was taken aback, recalling his own special skill, "That little dwarf also knows [Razor's Edge]?"

but it is not the truth.

In Liu Longguang's right hand, there was an extra "hidden weapon" fixed to his palm, worn in a manner similar to brass knuckles.

The difference is that three blades are welded to the inside of the palm, perfectly fitting the gaps between the four fingers, allowing you to use your palm to cut your opponent, and the tips of the blades can also emerge when you clench your fist.

Liu Longguang raised his hand and introduced, "This is a hidden weapon from India—BaghoNakh, which translates to 'tiger claw.' It's a nice toy."

He turned to look at Wang Ma, only to see that the other party had already deactivated the [Borrow] state, but before that, his wrist had already bled a lot.

It was even quite obvious that Wang Ma's bleeding was far greater than that of an ordinary person, and it only subsided after the [Pre-borrowing] was lifted!

"really……"

Liu Longguang murmured, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have some understanding of the [Pre-borrowing] technique."

"—Actively increase your heart rate to dramatically increase the speed of blood circulation and convert the generated heat into exercise capacity."

"This is the principle behind 'pre-borrowing'."

"Therefore, the solution is quite simple: just create a 'critical wound,' such as the wrist artery, which will double the amount of bleeding."

Liu Longguang played with the tiger claw, glancing at Wang Ma with a teasing smile.

"So I wasn't wrong. Your Erhu style is still too immature. It looks fragmented and lacks any charm of that lineage."

"...It seems like your master must have died quite young, right?"

Chapter 205 Testing

Wang Ma has accumulated a considerable amount of street fighting experience.

The instant his right wrist was cut, he immediately deactivated the "Borrow" state to avoid massive bleeding caused by the rapid flow of blood.

At the same time, place the left palm under the right armpit, and clamp the right upper arm tightly against the ribs, using the left palm to press firmly on the artery on the inside of the upper arm to achieve hemostasis.

The next tactic, rationally speaking, should be to dodge and maneuver, using the remaining stamina to find an opportunity to turn the tide.

But Liu Longguang's last words caused Wang Ma to lose his temper—

"...It seems like your master must have died quite young, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ma's eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth clenched so hard they made a grinding sound, and he stared at Liu Longguang with a ferocious look.

"You know who killed Erhu?!"

“No, it’s just a guess,” Liu Longguang shrugged. “But it’s really a pity. I originally wanted to have some fun with that ‘Erhu,’ but I didn’t expect him to die while I was in prison…”
