Duels in the water are nothing to Master Mao and Shui Yingyao. As long as they can stay in the water for a long time with a simple breath-holding spell, they can also speak normally. But the biggest problem underwater is not breathing.
, but pressure.
Water pressure is a physical restraint. Different from the pressure that strong strength brings to the opponent, water pressure is real and can be felt at all times. Under water, speed, strength and some moves will be affected, and even
Sight can also be distorted by the refraction of light by water.
Therefore, this duel is actually full of variables...
"Before I fight, I want to tell you something." Master Cat said.
Shui Yingyao still looked cold: "I don't think you have anything to say."
"Actually, there are still some... about five years ago..."
Shui Yingyao interrupted him: "I already know everything."
This moment made Master Mao stunned. He widened his eyes, which were always vacant, and flashed through his mind the fight in City S a few months ago, as well as the conversation at that time.
…………
"I have no interest in fighting anymore today, Ripper. I will come to you again. I want to take back what belongs to me."
"Tch... what a willful woman. It's been five years and you're still clinging to the title of 'Master Cat'? You've already won the highest title in other cities. I think it's called 'Qianfeng', right?"
, couldn’t it be an excuse just to bother me?”
"I just don't want to lose to you, that's all."
…………
"I see... you already knew the truth at that time." Only then did Mr. Cat understand why Shui Yingyao, who had been away for five years, suddenly came back again.
"Do you think you can really hide it from me forever?"
"Now that you know, do we still need to fight? You have no reason to hate me, right?"
Shui Yingyao smiled, but it was a sneer, and there was resentment and bitterness in his eyes: "You lied to me."
"Hey...it was also for your own good at that time..."
"You thought I couldn't accept reality, so you fabricated a reality, but I can't accept losing you either."
"Haha... You have said such words... I feel a little embarrassed hearing it..."
"Years later, you want to tell me the reality again because you think it's time and I can accept it."
"Well... mainly because I don't want to fight with you..."
"Who am I? I am not something that belongs to you. Why do you make decisions for me, decide what I should know, what I should forget, and what I should accept."
Mr. Cat stopped talking. He had indeed thought about this question but had no answer.
Shui Yingyao continued: "You lied to me, but you protected me, so I shouldn't hate you, and I should be at your mercy?"
"that……"
"You don't have to defend yourself anymore. There are no secrets between you and me. I said it a few months ago. I just don't want to lose to you, that's all."
Master Mao really couldn't say anything, because Shui Yingyao had already attacked.
She did not take off the steel needles coiled in her hair. Her long hair would have been affected if she spread out underwater, so she directly transformed into her soul weapon.
Eight long and narrow steel needles appeared between the five fingers of Shui Yingyao's hands, each one shining with a translucent blue light. Her weapon was very similar to Cat Master.
Master Cat knew that this battle was inevitable, and his scalpel slipped out from his fingers with a red light.
"Why don't they two start fighting? My eyes are sore when I keep looking at them like this." Wang Xu has moved the barbecue grill to the waterside so that he can take things from the shelf more easily.
Ning Feng still looked at the bottom of the water intently: "They seemed to be saying something just now, but they were too far away and there was water blocking them, so I could only vaguely see their mouths moving."
"Ah..." Wang Xu yawned: "Who do you think will win this duel?"
"Sister Shui should win. I heard Uncle Zheng at home say that even among the ten kings of hell, she is definitely a super strong one." The Uncle Zheng that Ning Feng was referring to is one of the four masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Zheng Bi, who was swiping like a cloud, was almost instantly killed after fighting Shui Yingyao, so he tried his best to blow his opponent up high afterwards, so that he could save some face for himself from the side...
Duan Fei said: "I also hope that Senior Shui can win." After saying this, he added two seconds later: "Because I really hate this guy Ripper..."
Wang Xu patted him on the shoulder: "I understand you very well..."
The cat in the water sneezed and dodged Shui Yingyao's slash again.
His nerves were highly concentrated at the moment, and he was desperately trying to parry the opponent's attack. The underwater battle was more difficult than he imagined. Even the simplest movement and retreat would cause him to feel huge buoyancy and resistance.
"That's not right...why is she so fast?" Mr. Cat was puzzled as to why Shui Yingyao seemed not affected by pressure at all. You must know that this is an irresistible physical phenomenon like gravity. Her soul
Master Mao also knows that there is no way this situation will happen now.
But the reality is that all this happened. Master Mao was actually caught up in speed, or even surpassed. The two of them tentatively exchanged moves, but it turned out that Master Mao was at a disadvantage.
"Do you think it's strange?" Shui Yingyao suddenly asked.
Master Mao was stunned again. He was usually the one who saw through the opponent's fighting methods, fighting habits, and even psychological activities. But this time, the person who was seen through was himself.
"That's how you are, so self-righteous. The reason why you don't want to fight me is because you think I can't beat you!" Shui Yingyao raised his voice.
Master Cat said: "You have really grown up..."
"Let me tell you why I am faster than you, because... I work harder than you, I want to win more than you, and I am better than you!"
This is indeed the only reasonable explanation, and it is also a difficult fact to accept, but Mr. Cat has to accept it, because the fact is the fact, and it is meaningless to deny the other party's strength. The only way is to accept the reality and come up with countermeasures.
Right path.
Shui Yingyao threw out the steel needle in his hand, just a steel needle.
Mr. Cat knew that the real duel had just begun.
His left shoulder was pierced, and the blue light penetrated his body. There was no pain at all, and not a drop of blood came out of the wound.
"Break!" Shui Yingyuan thought.
Master Mao's left hand dropped weakly, and the four scalpels in his hand sank into the water. He could not avoid the stabbing, but it could disintegrate Shui Yingyao's psychic ability.
"return!"
Mr. Cat covered his left shoulder with his right hand and escaped while regaining consciousness in his left hand.
But when he turned around, he saw Shui Yingyao already in front of him, with his face almost touching him. The speed surprised him.
Then, unconsciously, all his limbs were penetrated by the blue light...
