The young man held his stomach and got up from the ground.
"hiss……"
A tearing pain came from his abdomen, causing Gongsun Ce to take a breath.
He hadn't experienced such a brutal attack in a long time.
He has seen many enemies who are good at fighting with bare hands and enemies with weapons in hand. He has seen many opponents who are confident in close combat.
The way those people with abilities fight will frighten others.
They either use illegally modified weapons with extremely lethal power, or they find ways to combine their abilities with weapons or fighting. Their common feature is to pursue high lethality by bursting out within a short distance.
Among them, none of them could touch Gongsun Ce's body.
The reason is simple.
Because his superpowers are stronger.
You can understand this if you think about the battles so far.
This young man's usual fighting method is to find out the flaws and weaknesses in the enemy's ability, and then defeat them after coming up with countermeasures.
It sounds like a very reasonable approach, but if you switch to other superpowers, this combat method will encounter problems at the beginning - how can you persist until you find the enemy's weaknesses?
The advantage that the party that is passively attacked and the party that actively attacks can be said to be very different.
If you are hit in a weak point, you will fall down. If you are hit first by a powerful move, you will lose the remaining strength to resist. Sometimes you will lose consciousness before you even realize that you are being attacked... Observe the weak points to destroy the enemy's idle time. This doesn't exist in most superpowers' battles, and battles are often decided in the first few moves.
This is common knowledge in this city.
In the final analysis, the showdown between superpowers is to see who has stronger superpowers.
The same goes for replacing the ability user with the impermanent one. Combat experience? Psychological quality? Equipment and companions? Naturally, these are all important, but the most critical thing is the method that can transform these elements into combat effectiveness, which is the most basic ability.
This is not to boast, Gongsun Ce is aware of his own strength. His abilities are both offensive and defensive, his invisible force is faster than a bullet, and his white matter wall is so strong that even Tyros's theosophy is helpless. The protection of superpowers allows him to think freely and calmly defeat the enemy in the end. No matter from every aspect, he is a powerful superpower.
——This power was broken just now.
"Violent girls are not popular these days."
What the masked woman just did was simple.
Using the long knife to divert his attention, he rushed towards Gongsun Ce.
After triggering the "net" warning, he moved faster than his reaction and kicked him to the ground with the final kick.
There is no feeling of superpower or impermanence in the whole process. In other words, she did this all by relying on her own body and skills.
"Skinny boys are not popular these days either."
The masked woman retorted.
This sentence made the young man feel a little annoyed.
He pointed to his chest: "I know I'm just a layman and can't compare with professionals, but this body can't be called thin in any way, right? I usually exercise well!"
The masked woman looked him over from top to bottom and said, "Ha."
"I don't object to objective comments but what you just said was really insulting."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, I just wanted to laugh. It's pretty good by the standards of my peers, eh."
The frustration was somehow stronger.
I can't always keep my rhythm when talking to this woman. I should try to get some information out, but when I actually talk, it becomes like a normal conversation, as uncomfortable as a sneeze that can't come out.
He slapped his face.
Cheer up, Gongsun Ce! If there is no breakthrough point yet, try using bluffing psychological warfare!
"I will admit your strength in close combat. However, as an ordinary person, I feel a little pain after being hit. Your strength is still far from that of an expert."
Just a bluff and a lie.
In fact, the pain in my abdomen is getting stronger and stronger.
The masked woman nodded: "I'm showing mercy. If you hadn't lost your strength just now, you would still be screaming on the ground now."
Sadly, the bluff had the opposite effect.
He was a little frightened himself.
It's not that he doesn't believe it, he has seen experts beating people. He was the one who led Mr. Qin when he came to visit his granddaughter before, so he can fully imagine what a tragic scene it was.
"I went out of my way to show mercy during the battle. Do I look that weak?"
"It might be too late to turn the net into a spear or a stray bullet just now. I'm obviously showing mercy but I'm still pretending. I can't say I'm being rigorous."
These words always feel a bit familiar.
The superpower twitched the corners of his mouth.
No wonder, this way the previous sense of dissonance can be explained.
"Miss, it's very important to leave some room when doing things. Let me tell you..." Gongsun Ce clenched his right hand, "What are the limitations of close combat."
Invisible power was activated with this movement, and the telekinetic claws covered the woman holding the long knife. But once again, Gongsun Ce's attack failed. The masked woman had already left the spot the moment he took hold of his hand, and quickly approached the super-powered person!
"Even if the ability itself has no form, the ability user's actions will leave traces, including eyes, movements, expressions, and thoughts, to determine how many precursors you have to launch an attack."
Gongsun Ce suddenly moved back several meters, narrowly escaping the enemy's attack: "You call the last one a trace? I have never heard of martial arts training that can even capture the enemy's thoughts!"
The masked woman stabbed out her knife, targeting his abdomen again.
"I can occasionally."
"Are you really good at that?!"
If an attack is launched using the power of telekinesis, this keen enemy will definitely change his tactics midway and seize the opportunity to attack.
The gap between experience and skill was right in front of him. After using his abilities to enhance his speed of action, he could barely react to his opponent's attacks. With the current level of effort, the odds of winning a single close combat match are not much higher than 0.
In this case, you must use your own advantages.
He once again controlled his body, and at the same time used the assistance of telekinesis——
"Um?"
The masked woman made a confused sound.
Just before she was about to stab him with the knife, she caught the young man's eyes.
What he was looking at was upward, which meant the direction where abilities were gathered.
Hammering down with invisible fists, shooting across a large area like rain, or even smashing down a huge wall to kill both of them... Gongsun Ce has too many methods at his disposal, and it is absolutely impossible to predict his actions. It's as simple as she claims.
The masked woman closed her hand and turned sideways, drew her knife and defended herself. She planned to rely on her senses to confirm the attack as before, and then attack again after judging the target of the attack.
"It seems like it's only occasionally."
But this time her judgment was wrong.
There was no attack that required response. What came from above was just the young man's voice.
"I see. That's the plan."
Only then did she react.
In addition to attacking, there is another possibility of gathering abilities upward.
That was the usage he showed at the beginning, using invisible power to float himself into the air.
However, this time the superpower went even further than before.
He let himself float into the air ten meters above the ground.
"The limitation of close combat is, of course, distance. Masters of close combat can knock down the enemy within a few inches, but they are often at a disadvantage when encountering guns and ammunition. Long-term exercise can strengthen a person's physique, but it cannot change it. Innate limitations, just like now, humans can't grow wings no matter how hard they train, and you can't get close to me safely with just your own hands and feet."
The young man pushed up his glasses in the air: "As I said before, I will not stop attacking unless you agree to a truce. Do you still plan to continue this fight?"
"..."
The masked woman seemed deeply shocked by this hand.
It took her a few seconds before she said slowly, "Idiot."
"……ah?"
He saw the enemy wipe his hand on the long knife.
The texture of the thick blade changed with this movement. The ink color on its surface disappeared, and the metallic color reminiscent of heavy weapons also receded. The long knife disintegrated in her hand and turned into a colorless and transparent substance. Like a solidified stream of water.
That state only lasted for a moment, and the dark color was dyed again. This time, the shape of the weapon became different. The long sword became a short bow, and the excess materials were made into arrows.
The masked woman calmly picked up her bow and nocked an arrow: "I haven't shot at a moving target in a long time."
"Hey! Who are you who just looked down on the person who used his ability to fight!!"
"A person who only uses abilities to fight is about the same as a chicken. The one who combines abilities with technology is a master."
"Stop doing this, you're cheating, you're cheating!!"
"biu."
The short arrow shot in response, and hit the young man's right arm! Gongsun Ce raised the white wall without hesitation to block the arrow from his side.
The masked woman on the ground put her hands on her hips: "Cheating."
"I've never used this before. If you break the rules first, don't blame me for not practicing martial ethics."
"Small-minded man."
"White matter bomb."
He literally made something in the shape of a bomb out of white stuff.
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and white matter explosive bombs exploded in mid-air. Countless fragments flew away, and the indiscriminate attack covered every inch of space within a ten-meter radius!
The short bow and arrows transformed into sticks, and the woman danced them so hard that water couldn't get into them. She managed to withstand the superpower's bombardment with a cold weapon.
"Okay, let me be serious too..."
The invisible power turned into a rain of gunfire and fell, but it stopped when it got close to the woman, as if the air itself had become a barrier that could not cross the boundary.
The ground under the masked woman's feet turned into a gel-like substance. She kicked off her legs and jumped into the air at high speed.
"Then I'll be a little less serious than you."
Under the dual effects of the indiscriminate attack of telekinesis and the interference of the woman's strange ability, this area has become as miserable as a passing typhoon. However, not only did these two people have no intention of introspection, but instead increased their firepower.
The young man pointed his left arm at his opponent, constantly interfering with his invisible abilities. A white giant sword appeared in his right hand, which was over 10 meters long! The air around the masked woman became thinner, and the gas turned into invisible ammunition and shot out, sparking countless sparks on the white matter defense wall. It was like shooting with a machine gun at an extremely close range!
"The next blow will make you unable to get up again."
"The next blow will make you give up completely."
A person with superpowers holding cold weapons, a melee expert who fights with abilities, the battle that continues in the air has developed to this day, but the methods of both sides have completely reversed from the beginning, and their attacks are about to touch each other——
"Ouch!"
At this moment, there was a loud noise in the cesspool that was almost forgotten by everyone, and a strange-shaped beast jumped out of it, spitting out extremely filthy attacks at the two of them. That is a huge kinetic energy obtained under high pressure, enough to cut off the water flow of trees!
The superpower and the masked woman turned their heads at the same time, the long knife turned into a wall to resist the beast's attack, and the air bullets instantly rushed to the ground and beat the beast to pieces.
They said in unison: "Don't interfere in other people's fights!"
