Kanoh didn"t want to lose and he wouldn"t lose no matter what. That was the thought inside Kanoh"s head at this moment.
Kuroki was surprised by that kick, however, Kanoh wouldn"t let go of that chance.
Kanoh sent out a powerful blow to Kuroki, but Kuroki had put his defense on hold.
Kanoh smiled creepily and sent out a blow that broke Kuroki"s defense.
Kuroki realized that the time lag between the "formless" and martial art had decreased in few milliseconds caused by his misjudgment.
However, in just milliseconds, Kanoh could send out this powerful kick.
BAAANG!
The kick blasted Kuroki"s leg, broke his balance and caused a fracture on his bone.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
Kanoh shouted loudly while sending out blow after blow toward Kuroki.
Formed yet formless.
Formless yet formed.
Upon being wounded more than ever before, Kanoh obtained a new power.
"Left Knee!"
Kanoh sent out a left knee to end this battle, but Kuroki blocked that blow using his right arm then moved forward to close the distance between them.
It was a chance for Kuroki, but he knew that he had entered the trap which had been laid by Kanoh.
Kanoh grinned and knew that Kuroki had entered his trap as he had planned. He tightened his right fist and sent it out toward Kuroki.
BAAANG!
Kanoh"s blow from extreme close-quarters, which led to his victory over Hatsumi, was the fastest that struck over the shortest range with minimal motion.
This makes it virtually impossible to evade.
Kanoh named this blow, the "Dragon Shot".
In all of Kanoh"s a.r.s.enal, it is the "strike with the greatest firepower".
Crack!
"........"
!!!!!!
Everyone was surprised by the result of this blow.
The dragon shot was misfired.
Kanoh"s wrist had been completely destroyed.
The right trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform, all eight carpal bones had multiple fractures.
Kanoh Agito lost his right arm.
Supinating wristlocks.
Kuroki didn"t miss the nature of the "dragon shot", nor the moment it stopped moving. His supinating wristlock literally bent the "dragon shot" trajectory. Naturally, he wasn"t left unharmed. His right hand took the full brunt of the "dragon shot". This fractured his thumb and broke all of his fingers completely.
And yet, Kuroki forcibly contracted his muscle to make a fist binding back all of his broken fingers.
Fury, unease, despair.
These couldn"t describe the emotion that had gripped Kanoh.
Kanoh fought 160 matches to repay his debts. He crossed fists with the strong many times over. Each time "evolving" and attaining victory.
And now, Kanoh was facing the biggest wall in his life. He instinctively understood that all of his fights had been for this very moment.
Kanoh once again charged toward Kuroki with his broken right hand.
Kuroki sent out a blow, but that blow was stopped by Kanoh"s left hand.
Kanoh had predicted Kuroki"s move, but because of the lack of strength, Kuroki shook him off.
Right Knee!
Kanoh targeted Kuroki"s head, but...
BANG!!!
"HNGHHH!!!!"
Kuroki sent out a powerful wrist blow on Kanoh"s chin that blew him away. He had read ahead of Kanoh"s attack beforehand. He grabbed Kanoh"s neck and pulled it closer, sending out a powerful knee attack.
BAAANG!!!
Kanoh gritted his teeth to hold the pain in his body. He charged once again toward Kuroki, but Kuroki only struck his palm at his chin once again and made him drop to the ground. He moved his head slightly to avoid Kuroki"s blow then stood up charging toward Kuroki again.
Kanoh who looked at Kuroki had this admiration since it was his first time to know that a "martial artist" could be this powerful.
However, Kanoh didn"t care about that since he would become the winner of this battle. His victory was his, and the "Fang of Metsudo" wouldn"t lose in this place.
BAAANGGG!!!
Kuroki sent out a powerful blow to Kanoh"s chin.
Following a bent-wrist fist, this was his second strike to the jaw. It was an elbow delivered as a counter, with his full body weight behind it.
Kanoh stopped moving.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Shouting loudly, Kuroki sent out powerful straight punches six strikes at Kanoh who stopped moving.
"........"
The audience was in shock and tremble to watch the result of this battle.
Kanoh Agito"s "Fang of Metsudo"s" legend is ending!!!!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Kanoh brought out his last power and kept moving to send out this blow.
BAANG!
Raising his arm blocking this blow, Kuroki watched Kanoh in shock.
Even with his brain concussed, even with his right arm destroyed, the Emperor would not die.
The "Fang of Metsudo" would not stop.
Kanoh Agito would not falter.
BAANGG!
Kuroki struck a powerful kick to Kanoh"s chin once again which made him stop moving.
Kanoh almost lost consciousness, but eyes were sharp looking at Kuroki who launched his face. Even though the result had been determined, however, he swore that he would repay Kuroki for this.
BAAANGG!!
Kuroki struck a powerful blow at Kanoh once again.
"....."
The audience was silent and no one said anything.
Kanoh Agito who was struck by Kuroki"s blow fell down on the ground without moving.
"Huft....."
"King of Kengan Matches, you, too, were truly strong."
Kuroki was standing in his karate stance and took a deep breath showing his respect to his opponent.
"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"THE WINNER IS KUROKI GENSAI!!!!!!"
The voice of the audience reverberated throughout the stadium causing a tremor of excitement.
---
"....."
Inside Yuuki"s private room, everyone was silent looking at the result of this battle.
In their minds, Kuroki was truly a strong fighter.
Even Shouko, who hated fighting, was touched since she could feel that both fighters were fighting wholeheartedly in this battle.
Yuuki rubbed his chin and couldn"t erase the smile on his face since this tournament was truly interesting for him.
"Kuroki Gensai...."
"I can"t wait for our meeting..."
