The entire palace was divided into three battle circles.
Only Nobu and Pom did not participate in the war.
The two of them were responsible for transporting the hypnotized humans to the fourth-dimensional apartment.
For the chimera ant expedition team, whether it is fighting or rescuing, the most important thing is to race against time.
now.
Courtyard Palace.
On the throne.
The ant king put down his book.
Beside him, various books piled up.
These books are not for display, some of them have been read by him.
While reading these books, the Ant King did not pay attention to the sounds and thoughts coming from outside the hall.
Instead, the sound of footsteps coming from the door made the Ant King put down the half-read book.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the hall door directly ahead.
I saw Nitro, wearing a battle suit with the word "heart" and a shaved head and beard, striding across the threshold and walking into this magnificent hall.
What really made the Ant King put down his book was actually the surging fighting spirit exuded by Nitro at this moment.
That solid fighting spirit was as dazzling as the sun.
Even if you don't look directly, you can clearly feel its presence.
Ta, tap -
Rhythmic footsteps echoed in the spacious hall.
Nitro's whole body was shrouded in static mental power, and his eyes full of determination looked at the Ant King on the throne.
He saw the mountains of books next to the ant king, and also saw the huge aura on the ant king's body.
With just one glance, two pieces of information were packed into his head.
Ant King——
Are you actually absorbing knowledge like a human being?
And compared with half a month ago, the ant king's manifest energy at this moment has actually become stronger, and not just a little bit stronger.
Judging from Nitro's perception, the scale of Qi Qi has at least doubled...
"I expected that he would still have room to grow..."
Shadows quietly appeared in Nitro's eyes, and he muttered to himself in his heart: "But I didn't expect it to grow so fast."
In the next confrontation after a period of time, the Ant King, who was already extremely troublesome, actually increased the total number of manifested Qi to an even more desperate level in less than a month.
This result surprised Nitro.
But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.
Faced with the turbulent aura of the Ant King, Nitro did not shrink back, just like a small boat, riding the waves forward fearlessly.
For this battle——
Nitro meditated quietly and adjusted his body and mind to the best state.
This trend,
It must be on the ant king.
On the throne.
The ant king's eyes reflected Nitro's gradually approaching figure.
The ant king was somewhat interested in the arrival of this "veteran".
After all, in the battle in front of the ant nest, the veteran in front of him chose to escape.
But now——
The Ant King slowly stood up and looked down at Nitro, who had walked to the center of the hall.
"Have you figured out how to die?"
The voice without any emotion rang through the hall and penetrated into Nitro's ears.
Judging from the tone of his words, the Ant King seemed to be stating something that was bound to happen.
Nitro's response was not to regain his position through words, but to directly swing his arms and close his palms under the mobilization of his mind power.
chat?
No need...
From the moment he stepped into the palace hall, this was the beginning of this deadly battle!
"One Hundred Styles of Guanyin·One Palm"
Without the slightest intention of speaking, Nitro used his first move without any ceremony, summoning the golden Guanyin to wave his bamboo pole-like arms and slap the ant king on the head.
However--
The ant king seemed to be able to clearly see the trajectory of Baishi Guanyin. He swung his arm and waved his palm, and actually hit the back of Baishi Guanyin's palm, which came down like thunder.
Peng!
I saw a raging white air wave bursting out from the contact point.
The ant king waved his palm as if he was driving away flies, forcibly knocking aside the palm that fell from Baishi Guanyin.
"Um!?"
Seeing this scene, Nitro's eyes changed slightly.
But in the flash of lightning, there was no time to think about why the Ant King could easily defend against the first palm of Baishi Guanyin, and Nitro's mentality was still as stable as a rock, not affected in the slightest.
Nitro's gaze was directed at the Ant King, and the golden Guanyin standing behind him launched a follow-up attack.
"Hundred-Style Guanyin·Two Palms"
A golden light roared towards the Ant King from the side.
The Ant King reacted again, jumped up, and let the golden palm light sweep across from below.
But in the airborne state, he once again faced the next wave of attacks from the Hundred Styles Guanyin.
Because the power of Baishi Guanyin is not only reflected in the speed, but also in the continuous and infinite palm strikes.
"Hundred-Style Guanyin·Three Palms"
Two compassionate and generous golden palms wrapped around the ant king in the air from the left and right sides.
"Even if you memorize the palm movements, is it difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the attack..."
There was a dazzling golden light floating in the corner of his eye. The ant king could not avoid it, so he could only open his arms in advance, intending to block the closed palms of Guanyin.
Pumbaa!
And he did indeed do it. The two palms filled with terrifying mental power firmly resisted the clasped palms of the Hundred-Style Guanyin.
This time, Baishi Guanyin's "Three Palms" failed to squeeze the ant king into his palm, but the ant king opened his palms one step ahead.
obviously--
There are some tricks in the way the Ant King fights.
Nitro saw this and immediately understood the reason.
The monster in front of me is a collection of countless excellent genes...
Not only does he have power that exceeds the upper limit of human beings, but he also has wisdom that cannot be underestimated.
Reading through books is a way to show wisdom, and memorizing your opponent's moves in battle is also a way to show wisdom.
That's right——
This monster memorized the landing point of Bai Shi Guanyin's palm in the previous battle, thus imagining the complete moves of Bai Shi Guanyin.
That's why we can have such a targeted response plan.
"It's really scary..."
In this gap of time, Nitro whispered softly.
I don't know if I am sighing or praising.
What is certain is that Nitro's hand movements are not subtle.
The fourth palm of Baishi Guanyin hit the ant king.
At this moment, although the ant king opened his arms in advance to hold the third palm together, the Hundred-Style Guanyin has more than one pair of arms.
The palm movement, which was like a golden stream of light, slapped the ant king, who was temporarily unable to move, to the ground.
Boom!
As the ant king's back hit the ground hard, the impact caused the floor tiles in the hall to burst and break like tofu.
Nitro's eyes glanced at the syringe-like tail of the ant king exposed on the side of the golden palm.
One second he was muttering about the terror of the ant king, but the next second he was calmly controlling the Hundred-Style Guanyin to hit the fifth and sixth palms...
Peng Peng Peng!
Continuous palm strikes hit the ant king's body.
The direction of this fight to the death has returned to its original appearance.
The ant king bravely resisted all attacks from Baishi Guanyin with its physical strength.
You can hear the screams breaking through the air, you can hear the cracking of masonry, you can hear the dull sound of palms touching your body...
The ant king listened to all the sounds hovering in his ears and felt every bit of power acting on his body.
Then I fell into thinking.
At this moment, the ant king understood that "taking advantage of each other's tactics" did not apply to the level higher than the ultimate displayed by the veteran in front of him.
Therefore, even if he could memorize the ninety-nine palms of Guanyin, he would not be able to perform equal moves, let alone seize the opportunity in the duel.
The ant king's feelings at this moment were even clearer than when he first faced Baishi Guanyin.
It's like a game on a chessboard.
The more you understand the craft, the more you will understand the horror of it.
Then a kind of emotion grew in the heart of the ant king.
It's not the frustration of having no choice, nor the unwillingness and anger after being suppressed.
Rather, it is an unstinting admiration.
The Ant King sincerely admired Nitro's indescribable state that could only be achieved by immersing himself in crazy and paranoid emotions.
At the same time, the ant king knew——
With his current ability, he simply cannot compete with Nitro on a "technical level".
There is no shame in admitting your shortcomings.
The Ant King accepted this, but that didn't mean he would give in.
Skills are not the only thing in fighting.
The Ant King admitted that Bai Shi Guanyin was a move that could defeat him, but that was all.
call--
Amid the violently floating smoke and dust, there was the sound of a sharp wind.
The ant king, who had endured countless slaps, finally sounded the horn to fight back.
His body passed through the remaining lingering effects of his palm, fearlessly attacking Nitro in front.
Will, thought.
They are all integrated into the power of thought, thus creating a terrifying aura.
Facing the ant king's counterattack, Nitro's "qi" remained as calm as ever.
The Baishi Guanyin, which carries his lifelong achievements, perfectly presents this calm state.
A palm strike from a tricky angle hit the Ant King without any surprise.
Peng!
With a deafening muffled sound, the ant king's body flew out and hit the most dazzling throne in the hall.
In an instant,
The throne, which represented the apex of national power, suddenly shattered and turned into debris all over the ground.
Immediately afterwards,
The ant king rushed out of the unformed smoke and attacked Nitro again.
Peng!
There was another muffled sound in the hall.
The ant king was beaten away by Baishi Guanyin again.
But what followed was the next wave of the Ant King's attack.
At this moment, the ant king only holds one thought.
That is to directly hit Nitro with the attack.
Apart from this, the Ant King has no other ideas.
Whether it is the broken throne in the palace, or the direct guards who are fighting bloody battles outside the palace, or even the ambition to rule the world that he shoulders.
At this moment, they were all swept into a corner by the Ant King.
In order to turn the idea at this moment into reality, the ant king implemented extremely simple tactics.
That is——
Keep attacking!
In the view of Ant King, although Baishi Guanyin implements the word "fast" to the extreme, it is still based on the established model.
Therefore, if he could attack from angles that his palms could not defend against, he would have to make temporary adjustments to create new palm strikes outside of the established pattern.
What I have to do is to push him step by step into a situation where he has to use a new palm attack.
Having said that…
Although the fighting space limits the trajectories and angles of palm strikes, as the number is superimposed, more combinations can be derived.
That is to say——
It may take thousands of attacks to achieve tactical success!
The Ant King definitely saw this future.
And he was confident that he would be able to push Nitro into a desperate situation.
What he relies on is his physical strength and aura that are far superior to Nitro's.
This is also true.
Today's ant king can be said to be completely different from what he used to be in terms of his aura.
Because since he was born, he not only devoured Nephibido, but also devoured many foods for telepathic people prepared by Xiaoyapufu in advance, as well as a not weak telepathic person stationed in the palace of East Goda.
These food sources all give the ant king greater strength.
So much so that when faced with the infinite palm strikes of the Hundred-Style Guanyin again, the Ant King felt that these attacks were not painful or itchy at all.
The cruel fact gave this death battle one more possibility from the beginning.
Even if Nitro had exhausted his potential energy, he would never be able to inflict fatal damage to the ant king.
This kind of battle where the result can be seen at a glance...
But it didn't make the Ant King feel boring.
On the contrary, he became more and more excited.
The Ant King sincerely hopes that Nitro can persist a little longer.
Persevere until the moment "nothing can be done"!
Then he would personally bring a perfect end to this fight to the death.
Before that, he didn't want to see Nitro die of exhaustion.
The ant king's gradually joyful and excited emotions were definitely conveyed to Nitro through the collision between offense and defense.
"As expected, it still doesn't work..."
Compared to the Ant King who was enjoying himself, Nitro felt solemn.
The Ant King is not the only one who has made changes and adjustments.
After the first battle, Nitro also deeply understood that the "defense" of the Ant King was the biggest problem for him to win.
Therefore, he believed that his chance of victory lay in the undercurrent beneath the turbulent waves.
The opportunity lies in the reading skills mastered by every person with top reading ability——
flow!
As long as the attack intensity and rhythm are increased at all costs, a gap will definitely appear in the Ant King's defense.
Then use the superior "flow" to expand the gap...
This is what Nitro wants to do in their second encounter.
But what he didn't expect was...
In less than a month, the upper limit of the Ant King's manifested Qi was half as strong.
It was also this unexpected change that greatly increased the difficulty for Nitro to find a breakthrough.
In contrast, the winning rate, which is not much, is infinitely close to zero.
Some things seem to have changed, but in fact they haven't...
In the hall, fierce fighting continued.
Even the aftermath was so strong that the surrounding area began to shake.
Nitro was clearly on the offensive side, but gradually it felt like he was on the defensive.
Outside the palace hall.
A sharp slash penetrated the night.
Although there was no wailing sound, many cells representing life were adjusted in the air.
Moyu's consistently strong attacks gradually put Xiao Yapfu at a disadvantage.
"Have you figured out how to die?"
The outcome of the battle could be seen at a glance, which not only made Moyo feel bored, but also gave him the confidence to announce the outcome in advance.
"..."
Faced with Moyu's condescending tone, Xiaoyapufu's mentality began to show fatal cracks.
