He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

The fist that was thrown to defend was no longer as indestructible as before; it was cut by the blade and only stopped when it was deeply embedded in the metacarpal bone.

—Breath of Flame: Complete Collection!

"Aaaaah... You should just become a ghost!"

Facing Kyojuro, who had entered a state of full concentration, Akaza was not afraid at all. Instead, he was even more excited and shouted, "Your physical body is far from reaching its peak. In another year or two, your swordsmanship will be even more exquisite, and your destructive power will be even greater!"

Watching talented people grow old in such an ugly way is terribly painful for me! You might as well become a ghost!

It seems that talking distracted him, or perhaps Kyojuro focused his attention.

As they were talking, Akaza's punch was sliced ​​off by Kyojuro's sword.

But the next second, in less than 0001 seconds, as the fist was on its way to the intended attack point, the severed fist grew back perfectly intact, allowing the blow to be delivered completely.

But it was also a merciless blow from the other party, as if making Akaza realize the reality that persuasion was impossible.

"Is that so? Then you might as well just die!"

Akaza pressed his fists against the blade, almost touching it, and muttered, "Kill me while you're still young and powerful!"

After saying that, he pushed with both fists, using the reaction force to flip backward and leap into the air, gathering power in his fists at his waist, and finally punching out from a distance.

"Destruction Kill - Void Style!"

No abnormalities were observed in the surrounding area.

However, Kyojuro knew that an enemy of this caliber would not make meaningless moves in battle, so he remained vigilant, keeping his eyes and ears open. Finally, he sensed danger approaching and instinctively raised his sword to block in front of his chest.

"boom!"

The moment the sword was raised, it shattered as if struck by a heavy hammer, its immense force causing even Kyojuro to feel strain, far exceeding any punch he had previously received.

"boom!"

Akawa landed on the ground, roaring excitedly as he threw punches from a distance. His fists seemed to be enveloped by some invisible gas, each punch causing the air to vibrate and transmitting force through the air.

While parrying with his sword, Kyojuro kept a close eye on Akaza. When he was knocked back five meters by the powerful impact, he finally understood the effect of the attack and immediately made a countermeasure.

"Breath of Flames, Fourth Form: Vortex of Blazing Flames!"

Kyojuro inhaled and exhaled sharply, releasing a scorching stream of air. At the same time, he swung his sword in a circle around himself, causing the air to distort widely, as if flames were burning outwards and spreading in concentric circles.

All the force transmitted from a distance was swept away by this single wave and vanished into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, Akaza immediately stopped and retreated.

While retreating, he increased the speed of his fist swings.

Kyojuro swung his sword in the opposite direction, once again unleashing a wave of heat that carried away the force. At the same time, he changed his breathing rhythm and shifted his center of gravity, pressing forward.

"Flame Breathing - First Form - Shiranui!"

Charge forward, then unleash a slash.

Kyojuro burst forth like a flame in an instant, rushing to Akaza's side and slashing out with his sword.

But Akaza, as expected of a demon who pursues the highest level of martial arts, seemed to have anticipated the trajectory of this strike and dodged it by simply bending his waist slightly.

Then, he continued to swing his fists, unleashing a fierce and relentless attack with invisible shockwaves.

Kyojuro was not to be outdone, unleashing his full power with Breathing Technique: Concentration, and attacking relentlessly.

Waves of energy erupted, sparks flashed, and clanging sounds echoed... The two exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant. The afterimages that filled the sky were dazzling and terrifying, making people wonder: Is this really a power that humans can control?

"Kyojuro, such exquisite swordsmanship is disappearing from the world. Don't you feel sad, Kyojuro?"

Kyojuro, in full concentration, launched incredibly fierce attacks. Akaza could no longer meet the blade head-on with his fists. Even with the invisible energy waves generated by the Blood Demon Art, he was still cut open with each collision.

Whether it's a fist being broken apart, a hand being severed, or a wound being slashed across the chest.

Akaza, however, felt no pressure; instead, he became even more excited. He had originally decided to kill his opponent while he was still young and strong, but now he changed his mind because of his appreciation for the opponent's powerful strength.

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they are human, this is only natural!"

Seemingly having gained the upper hand, Kyojuro had a chance to reply. He increased the speed of his sword swings while answering with righteous indignation. These words only strengthened his resolve, making his sword swings even faster and more powerful, and his attacks even more ferocious, leaving his opponents breathless.

"Great, we can win!"

Upon seeing this, Yushiro clenched his fists in excitement.

The other special forces members couldn't help but feel excited and delighted after hearing this.

Although they couldn't see the specific details of the battle, they could see the blood spilled from the battlefield and the arms covered in the tattoos of sinners that flew out, and they could also see the air burning like flames growing stronger.

"Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good; justice will always triumph over evil!"

Coulson couldn't contain his excitement and showed off a Chinese idiom he had recently learned in order to deal with Gu Qing.

then……

"boom!"

The burning flames paused for a moment, then dissipated, and Kyojuro's figure flew out like a cannonball, crashing into an abandoned building hundreds of meters away.

Coulson's mouth dropped open.

The others looked over speechlessly, as if to ask: "Is your mouth blessed?"

Coulson, of course, had no time to pay attention to these guys' wild thoughts. Seeing Kyojuro being knocked away, he was so nervous that sweat dripped down his forehead.

(Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon.)

It turns out that when Coulson had destroyed five helicopters and was about to kill Iron Man, he contacted Fury and asked him to send reinforcements immediately.

Although he didn't know if S.H.I.E.L.D. had anything to do with Akaza at the moment, he had already informed Fury of Ray's strength. Knowing Fury as he did, he was sure that if reinforcements were sent, they would be effective.

If he can play a role in resolving the battle against Rui, then even if he cannot defeat Akaza, he can still help Kyojuro.

"boom!"

The collapsed boulders were lifted up.

Kyojuro's figure, covered in blood, appeared in everyone's sight, panting heavily.

Akaza did not press his advantage, but instead deliberately gave Kyojuro time to catch his breath, slowly walking towards him while continuing to persuade him: "Kyojuro, do you see that?"

This is the difference between humans and ghosts.

Your forehead, sternum, and shoulder bones are all shattered, and your strength is about to be exhausted.

The damage you inflicted on me at such a high price has healed in the blink of an eye. If this continues, you will surely die.

Kyojuro, even if you're prepared to die, it's no use. Just become a demon already!

"A man who is too clingy is just annoying!"

Accompanied by Stark's signature quip, several rockets were launched toward Akaza.

But just as Jarvis had calculated, even a sneak attack had no effect on Akaza. Akaza simply veered to the left or right and easily dodged the rocket attack, as if the blast radius had been calculated perfectly, leaving it completely unaffected.

However, although the attack was ineffective, it seemed to have a mocking effect, attracting Akaza's attention.

"The weak should at least have some self-awareness!"

Akaza looked at Tony with cold eyes and said indifferently, "I only spared you burdens because I gave Kyojuro face, but if you dare to disturb my reading with Kyojuro, then I will have no choice but to kill you first."

"Weak?"

Tony raised an eyebrow and stepped forward confidently. As he slowly walked towards Akaza, he said in an unpleasant tone, "There are always people in this world who think they are superior, but in reality, they are nothing more than ants in the eyes of others."

"Oh~"

Akaza became interested, a smile playing on his lips. "You mean, in your eyes I'm just an ant?"

"No."

"Ok?"

Akaza was slightly surprised.

"At best, they're just harmful germs!"

The room fell silent after he said that.

Everyone stared at Tony in shock, not understanding why he would deliberately provoke the other party at such a time.

Akaza's head was bowed, his expression obscured by shadows, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. Yet, the chill emanating from his body sent shivers down one's spine.

Tony was also feeling uneasy, but considering Jarvis's calculations and his own plan, he could only steel himself and meet the challenge with a dismissive expression and tone: "What?"

"Do harmful germs also feel uncomfortable when they hear others' disdain?"

That's right, Tony wants to provoke Akaza.

Just now, during their fight, Jarvis analyzed Akaza and Kyojuro Rengoku's attack methods, clearly explaining their moves, power generation methods, timing of attacks, and even their personal habits.

But it is precisely because the analysis is so clear that one can appreciate the strength of the two individuals, and thus feel despair at this situation.

Yes, the answer is indeed despairing.

Jarvis told Tony that Akaza's moves weren't too outrageous, at least they didn't deviate from the principles of human biomechanics, but even when he was distracted in battle, he could still make the optimal solution with each move.

Attack, defend, dodge...

Akaza always manages to make the most suitable choice at the most opportune moment, demonstrating that his combat skills have become second nature, allowing him to devise the optimal response without conscious thought. Furthermore, as an Upper Moon demon, he possesses immense physical strength, lightning-fast reflexes, and extensive combat experience, coupled with Blood Demon Arts that enhance both his defense and lethality…

To deal with such an enemy, one must either crush him with overwhelming power, fight him with equally exquisite or even more powerful skills to force him to reveal his weaknesses, or possess absolute wisdom to see through his moves and set traps many steps in advance, forcing Akaza to make the optimal solution every time but only to meet his demise.

With Jarvis's assistance, Tony's brain's thinking and calculation speed can decipher the opponent's moves and calculate in advance his next move, the next next, and the next next... Theoretically, he can force Akaza into a situation where even if he makes the optimal solution every time, it will eventually lead to failure.

However, the Mark armor he was wearing, without its weapons functioning, could not support him in doing this solely through its own power performance.

So Tony wanted to provoke him.

Only by enraging this man, causing him to lose his temper and make an unwise choice, can I have a chance.

Akaza despises the weak, and I am the weak one in his eyes... If I, the weak one, were to provoke him with a contemptuous attitude, even if Akaza has the best temper, he would get angry!

However, the result seemed to be different from what the game had envisioned.

Although the increasingly cold air around him indicated that the man was furious, the scene of him losing his temper and attacking him did not materialize as I had imagined.
