Kexiao fought the hardest. The opponent's terrifying body technique abilities made it so that even for him, every punch thrown was met with an equal blow, without any semblance of holding back. The constant collision of hands already left his skin torn and bleeding. However, his opponent seemed to be made of iron, fighting with increasing ferocity as if invigorated by battle, causing intense vibrations in the surrounding space with each contact.
Sky Shadow's fight was more standard and no outcome was discernible in the short term, but the consumption under the superbody state was much higher than usual bursts, so with the passage of time, Sky Shadow gradually gained the upper hand, slowly suppressing the opponent...
As the energy of the second Cantelu warrior increasingly dissipated, Sky Shadow suddenly charged through the void with the power of Blank Paper, and from an unexpected angle, struck down with a hand chop from above, beheading the warrior in a swift motion.
As for Kexiao, neither Sky Shadow nor Mengdie intervened, as if they both knew clearer than anyone that at this moment they should not interfere, and Kexiao wouldn't allow the two to join in.
Bang bang bang...
In this gritty battle without concessions, Kexiao gradually fell into a disadvantage, or rather, the opponent was not lacking compared to him in resilience, striking power, or even physical strength. What's more terrifying was the Cantelu warrior fought with increasing excitement and madness as the battle progressed, as if driven by an obsession—one couldn't tell if this was good or bad luck for Kexiao.
From the looks of it, Sky Shadow believed that even if he joined the fight, it would be no different, and because of the transplant surgery, his skill level was even a bit lower than Kexiao's; in other words, if he were in Kexiao's place, the situation could be even worse.
Crack boom!
Kexiao's punch fell like a meteor, fiercely striking the Cantelu warrior in the chest and abdomen, immediately causing blood to spray from his mouth.
Boom!
The warrior also landed a punch on Kexiao's abdomen at the speed of lightning, making Kexiao heave and almost vomit, but he forcibly suppressed it and gulped it back down...
He then dashed forward, pivoting to throw a swing punch, which halfway through, morphed into a dropping elbow, but the Cantelu warrior saw through it in advance and raised his hand to block, countering with a swift inch punch, trailing a harsh image to strike Kexiao squarely in the face.
At the same time, Kexiao's knee strike also landed firmly on the warrior's face, and both flew away...landing on the ground with a resounding tremor.
This was bad; at this rate, even if Kexiao could defeat his opponent, he would inevitably end up severely injured.
As the Cantelu warrior slowly got back on his feet, Kexiao lay motionless on the ground as if unresponsive. Sky Shadow wanted to intervene, but he still suppressed his emotions.
If Kexiao were to fail so easily, he wouldn't be himself; the entity that could stand alongside Feng Yi would not be defeated so simply. Or was he considering some sort of tactic?
Indeed, any tactics are futile before absolute power, but the situation was different now; this guy hailed as the weakest had proved stronger than the two previously defeated opponents. One wonders how strength is measured in this universe – clearly, it defies their common understanding.
The Cantelu warrior did not give Kexiao any time to breathe, leaping into the air with a bounding step. As he descended, he intended to crush Kexiao into dust with a knee drop.
If hit by such a strike, death was certain; but of course, Kexiao was not that weak. On the contrary, not only was he adept at offense, his defense was equally strong. However, this time he opted not to defend but instead quickly stood up and dodged, with one hand forcefully grabbing and holding the opponent's arm, while his other hand burst forth with a glowing aura.
The Cantelu warrior realized that this guy was trying to kill him with a strike—a naive thought; how could he just let himself be butchered?
At this moment, Kexiao's gathering aura was becoming more and more intense, signifying an imminent attack. The Cantelu warrior struggled to break free, attempting to forcibly escape Kexiao's hold, but to no avail—the other seemed to lock him down with all his might.
"Die!"
The Cantelu warrior's knee strike aimed for Kexiao's abdomen, its explosive force enough to injure even a fighter of Sky Shadow or Kexiao's level. Yet Kexiao endured it, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Bang bang bang...
Followed by several more knee strikes from the Cantelu warrior to Kexiao's chest and abdomen, even breaking his ribs in the relentless assault. Regardless, Kexiao seemed indifferent, still focusing on his next attack.
It seemed that this person, embracing a resolve to die, chose not to defend at all, but concentrated solely on landing the final, offensive strike. Realizing this, the Cantelu warrior's expression changed dramatically, as if sensing a grave danger, began struggling desperately: "You're insane, if you continue like this, even you might get caught up in it."
"Really..."
Kexiao's voice remained calm, within which there was an unprecedented sense of relief. He had no regrets in his life. If he had to name a regret, perhaps it would be that he never got to have a final showdown with Feng Yi?
Everyone has to leave eventually, and for a warrior, this seems to be a rather good ending.
"Could that guy be thinking of..."
Sky Shadow muttered to himself. He had never thought that Kexiao would willingly give up his life for a battle, but at this moment, Sky Shadow seemed to understand this man's obsession with battle. At this instant, he felt an admiration for Kexiao he never had before—he was truly the pride of Saudi and a peer of Feng Yi and Revenge Shadow Rider, the strongest mobile warrior by those names.
A true warrior is never defined by strength alone, but by the strength of their heart. In this moment, Sky Shadow seemed to understand the intangible bond between Kexiao and Feng Yi.
"I give that phrase back to you."
And with that, the light in Kexiao's palm grew even more brilliant. Despite the energy being the size of his palm, the Cantelu warrior could clearly feel the terrifying destructive power it contained, which seemed capable of destroying any living thing in its path, even if Hasten Ressenbor were to stand here—no, Hasten Ressenbor was invincible.
Knowing escape was no longer possible, the Cantelu warrior burst out with a vicious and chilling laugh he had never shown before, "Hahaha, even if you kill me, you cannot escape. The master will make you experience the true hell."
No sooner had he finished speaking, the halo of light shot straight at the Cantelu warrior's inescapable body, like a gamma ray bursting through the outer realms, illuminating the interstellar void, and finally dissipating into the vast darkness...
The shape of the Cantelu warrior also vanished, and at the moment of the energy burst, the center of the explosion between Kexiao and the Cantelu warrior also burst open with a brilliance many times brighter than the sun, instantly lighting up the entire night snow plain, causing the surrounding snow to melt away completely...
Kexiao's body no longer had any response.
Sssss...
At this moment, the Blade Warrior, who had been hiding in the shadows, could no longer care about being discovered, took several leaps to arrive in front of Kexiao to quickly check his condition...
"No, not good, this isn't looking good!"
"How is he?" Sky Shadow hurriedly asked.
"He's not breathing..."
What!? No breathing, doesn't that mean Kexiao is already dead? Knowing it was one thing, but the confirmation of Kexiao's death was quite another.
Blade Warrior angrily said, "Why didn't you guys support him just now? I was worried for him."
"Stupid, do you think he would have happily accepted assistance—you don't understand him at all."
The Blade Warrior was left speechless by Sky Shadow's words, which were correct. How could someone as proud as Kexiao possibly let others intervene in a 3V3 battle? Nevertheless, she still couldn't accept this fact.
This not only meant a great loss of combat strength but also the loss of a comrade. In fact, from the moment they all boarded the Time-Space Transfer Device, their relationships were set in stone. There might have been some estrangements, but this could not change their shared goals.
Who could have expected, even a person like Kexiao would tragically die in battle upon arriving at the 103rd Colonial Planet, a situation that had drastically diverged from the original plot they had predicted.
What to do now? Seeing that Kexiao had lost his breath, it was uncertain if he could still be saved, but they had to try. There might be hope, even if it was just a sliver of a chance; it was impossible to just watch Kexiao fall like this.
Regrettably lacking medical equipment on the scene, the Blade Warrior could only quickly stand up and carry Kexiao to the shuttle to freeze him temporarily.
