Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Sir! You are going to use Chizuru Kagura?” Song Qingfeng was surprised since Mr. Fang usually used Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, but rarely Chizuru Kagura.
At this moment, Fang Qi had just finished the first round, and Chizuru Kagura still had more than half of her HP. The situation looked good.
“Ugh? Chizuru Kagura?” Nanhua Heavenly Fairy Liu Ningyun was also puzzled. “Can he fight to the end with this character?”
Since Chizuru had no long-range moves and seemed to not have great combos, they had played her for a while before giving up.
“Oh! You’re playing the King of Fighters?” Still eating instant noodles, Huangpu Tao pulled over a bench and sat behind Fang Qi to watch him play.
It was time for breakfast, and Mo Tianxing and the others also stood behind to watch the game while eating instant noodles.
“What’s that?” Even the aloof Xichi Spiritual Master came over curiously and watched him play.
Soon, Fang Qi was surrounded by a group of people both in his Qzone and in the internet café.
At this moment, Fang Qi’s opponent was Chin Genzai, the Drunken Fist Master. At the beginning, they fought cautiously since the characters in the second team were already quite powerful.
However, in the next instant, Fang Qi squatted and dodged his opponent’s light kick in the air, and his opponent landed behind him and received two light punches from him.
This scene might be ordinary to others, but light suddenly appeared in Fang Qi’s Chizuru Kagura’s hands.
Desperation Move – Sui Chou no Mai!
On the screen, Chizuru turned into many blurry shadows, and she punched quickly. After her desperate move was over, she continued to attack with light punches in mid-air before launching light kicks and light punches while squatting.
Fang Qi’s controls were smooth and swift. The character on the screen moved fast while punching and kicking; the moves were so fast that they became blurry shadows!
“F*ck! A combo of 27 moves?!” Seeing this scene, Song Qingfeng’s eyes almost popped out.
“So das.h.i.+ng!” Lin Shao wished that he could do it too.
After the combo, Fang Qi’s opponent turned from having a full bar of HP to a sliver that was as thin as a thumb on the screen.
Also, his opponent had been stunned!
“We can play her like this?!”
“When striking from behind, a combo of 27 moves is not unusual,” Mr. Fang explained to them, “But it’s hard to find an opportunity. With a good opportunity, I can even launch a combo of 28 moves.”
“So awesome!”
“How come I couldn’t do it when I played her?” Liu Ningyun was dazed.
Sometime later, the picture on the screen changed from the battle stage of the compet.i.tion to a huge altar!
The atmosphere turned grim when they saw the purple light shooting into the sky; it was a scene that they had never seen before!
There was only one opponent. When Fang Qi lined up his characters in the order of play, others saw that his opponent team had only one black figure.
“What’s happening?” Ruan Ning and the others were baffled.
The audience standing behind Fang Qi and eating noodles also had grim expressions on their faces since they could sense an extremely oppressive aura, even if they were two screens away.
When Chris of the Orochi Team revealed his snake eyes, lightning flashed while thunder rumbled on the screen. While the lightning flashes illuminated the area, the short white hair of that huge figure fluttered in the air, and a ring-shaped tattoo that looked like a radiant sun appeared on his chest.
As if it were disregarding the rules of the world, it hovered in the air.
Its body emitted a G.o.d-like aura!
“Orochi?!”
“Is this person Orochi?!”
The King of Fighters recreated by the System looked more real and thus gave people a stronger shock.
Behind Fang Qi, people exclaimed in surprise.
The moment they opened their mouths, Orochi’s body s.h.i.+fted and vanished!
In the next moment, it appeared behind Fang Qi’s Kyo Kusanagi!
“Translocation?!”
It was like teleportation without warning; it didn’t need time to cast like the teleportation skill of wizards.
Then, Orochi shot out a black spherical energy projectile, hitting the center of Kyo Kusanagi’s back. After that, it spread its arms above its head as if they were wings.
Many sparks flew down from the sky, and there was no place to dodge. The whole screen turned white.
Only after two moves, people saw that Fang Qi’s Kyo Kusanagi had turned from full HP to a tiny amount.
The moment Kyo Kusanagi stood up, Orochi shot up a beam of radiant spiritual essence from the ground with his will.
Kyo Kusanagi was killed instantly!
“So powerful!” Song Qingfeng gaped at the sight and forgot to close his mouth.
From his appearance until now, he had killed his opponent with only three moves!
“I didn’t play it well! I didn’t play it well!” Fang Qi shook his hands and inhaled deeply. Obviously, he was dazed by this defeat.
Soon, Iori Yagami stepped up. This time, Fang Qi was more cautious. The moment his opponent disappeared, he made a prediction and rolled. When Orochi appeared behind him, he had dodged again and moved behind Orochi.
Light punch plus Kuzu Kaze, then strong punch plus the s.h.i.+ki Aoi Hana three repeat. This combo dropped Orochi’s HP by one-third!
“This prediction was awesome!”
“Very accurate!”
The people in the audience exclaimed.
The moment Orochi fell, Iori Yagami moved close to it swiftly. While the former stood up and raised his hand to release a black spherical energy projectile, Fang Qi moved up subconsciously and dodged this energy projectile at the perfect moment.
Fang Qi moved his hands calmly and used another combo in a flash.
Orochi could use combos as well, and it used them even more smoothly than Fang Qi.
The audience was at a loss for words while they watched the dazing combos, and they were surprised that this little game in Qzone could be so fascinating!
Fang Qi used the last character Chizuru Kagura to clear stage narrowly with the last bit of HP. Everyone thought that it was the end of the game, but the next scene…
Orochi couldn’t be killed so easily. Now, it was the turn to battle the real Orochi who had been sealed by the three sacred treasures for many years!
The resurrected Orochi descended on land like a G.o.d. In the interlude animation, it was no longer restricted by the frame of the game, so it could better showcase its power.
With violent gales and flashes of lightning around it, Orochi hovered in the air like a G.o.d. It easily activated the Blood of Orochi in Iori Yagami’s body and controlled Iori Yagami to charge toward Chizuru Kagura and Kyo Kusanagi.
Its horrifying strength swept across the whole world.
All the people watching the game were stunned and were at a loss for words!
Even through the screen, they could sense this great power. Since the players could buy and learn the stuff that they unlocked through playing games, it meant that this power was real!
At this moment, people saw that Iori Yagami was red-eyed with restlessness, and he was struggling violently. No one could control Iori Yagami, not even Orochi, who was a G.o.d-like existence. To everyone’s surprise, Wild Iori used his last trace of sanity and attacked Orochi.
His powerful and sharp claws clutched Orochi’s neck, and the horrifying purple flames shot up into the sky, piercing a hole in the dark clouds!
“Sir,” Song Qingfeng said in a shaky voice, “Can we learn this one!!??”
He was so excited that he shook all over.
On the other side, red flames shot up, and the terrifying flames almost burned everything around them into ashes.
“This is the Ultimate Desperation Move ‘Mu s.h.i.+ki’?!” Song Qingfeng and the others cried out.
They might be able to learn this move.
In the thick fire beam, a figure engulfed in flames turned into a red light. It moved so fast that blurry shadows appeared behind it.
Strong punch!
The whole world was turned fiery red!
