Chapter 370: Dark Crescent Slice

“But wasn’t the Slapping Taoist an SSS rank empty handed knight…” GreenDew asked doubtfully.

“This is the Slapping Taoist before he advanced to SSS rank. In other words, back when he fought the battle at Heavens Mountain, not when he was at his peak state during the leagues…” Little Ye Tian explained calmly.

ThornyRose smiled bitterly. She even knows something like this. Truly a walking encyclopedia…

Zhang ZhengXiong glared the leisurely Slapping Taoist – HeavenDestroyer. His robe flowed freely as he walked. Suddenly, just as Zhang ZhengXiong blinked, he disappeared. Feeling a chill behind him, Zhang ZhengXiong struck with his elbow. HeavenDestroyer blocked the elbow with one hand while his other slapped at Zhang ZhengXiong’s head. “I’ll f*cking slap you to death!”

Zhang ZhengXiong’s other hand met the slap. While he was dissipating the strength of the blow, he pushed off with his elbow. The wind from the slap blew past his ear. His blocking hand felt extremely numb. This Taoist was strong! He quickly grabbed at the baggy sleeve and attempted a throw, but found himself falling weightlessly.

“It appeared! The Sleeve of Heaven and Earth!” FrozenCloud exclaimed.

HeavenDestroyer began to make a kame-hame-ha like pose, then his two palms blasted forwards while Zhang ZhengXiong was feeling weightless in midair. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly stomped off the ground, and used the resulting force to flip past the blow. While he was flipping, his knee struck out at HeavenDestroyer’s shoulder, but was stopped by a single hand like his elbow strike earlier. He couldn’t force through at all!

Zhang ZhengXiong’s flip was stopped, but still kept his momentum, which he used to punch towards HeavenDestroyer’s head.

“Empty Palm – Speed Burst!” The Slapping Taoist – HeavenDestroyer shouted. The hand on Zhang ZhengXiong’s knee exploded with a burst of qi, sending him flying. He then lower his stance and faced the airborne Zhang ZhengXiong. He stepped off the ground and shot forwards, his right palm was like a blade piercing through the wind, or like a bolt shot from a crossbow.

“It’s over…” ThornyRose saw that Shaking Bear was falling once again. If it was her, she would have long been dead. The most terrifying thing about Slapping Taoist wasn’t his skills, but his ability to knock-up enemies and his technique. His Sleave of Heaven and Earth was the most famous. Most people would be struck after being launched by his sleeve and then immediately slain.

Zhang ZhengXiong’s heart sank. This was not good! He activated a skill to give himself super armor! While in the air, he did his utmost to twist his body, avoiding being struck on his vitals. Thanks to super armor’s immunity to knockback, he grabbed the hand which had struck his right waist. Sudden Burst – One Inch Knee. He forcefully smashed HeavenDestroyer’s chest, making him momentarily pause! As they fell, he activated Drop – Backdrop Crush! Stun! Throw – Sun Shot! He threw HeavenDestroyer to the sky, then stomped off the ground flying after him. Ultimate – Meteor Piledriver! Like a shooting star, he forced HeavenDestroyer to spiral head first towards the ground. With a huge bang, a deep crater appeared. Zhang ZhengXiong roared, “Not yet! Ultimate – Dark Crescent Slice1!” The hand pressing down on the back of HeavenDestroyer’s head burst with an violent and chaotic qi, causing an explosion of purple flames to fill the crater.

“Player Zhang ZhengXiong has defeated the perfect imitation of HeavenDestroyer (SS rank), and has successfully promoted the Street Fighter to SS rank…”

Like last time, a ray of light shined down. Zhang ZhengXiong’s Street Fighter began to transform. The original fistwraps were replaced by metal, multi-functional, mechanical gauntlets which extended all the way above to his elbows. Steam and electricity faintly leaked out from the gaps. One couldn’t help but feel intimidated by those enormous metal fists. It wasn’t hard to imagine what would happen if those were to hit.

Zhang ZhengXiong looked at this attributes. His strength rose to SS rank, constitution to S+, Speed to S. Both his resistance to knockback and defence were high. He was pretty satisfied with the results. His new Ultimate was Crescent Slash2, while his limit break ultimate was Extreme Overlord Fist (Make a fist and gather power for 3 seconds, then perform a punch with compressed electromagnetic power, dealing 300% damage (direct hits deal 350% damage). Causes stun, paralyses, and knockback. If a negative effect is successfully inflicted, can combo into a sure-hit throw).
