NOVPUBChapter 798 -28: Smiling and Wholehearted_2
Or more precisely, a sense of familiarity!
That’s right!
Familiarity!
He had a feeling like dealing with a resident of Nightless City when looking at the seemingly kind-hearted youth before him.
It was that sense ofncealing oneself and then suddenly baring one’s fangs.
Jason trusted his own feelings.
Without answering, and without getting entangled with the other’s smiling demeanor, he just went into full alert.
The next moment
The smiling young man before him vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Jason.
The gentle smile remained unchanged.
But the casually hanging palm was like a knife, silently stabbing towards Jason’s heart from behind.
"There it is!”
"Xin strike!”
"Take him down!”
…
The ‘audience’ of the Brutalizer, with flushed faces, burst into shouts.
A live, pulsating heart was what they wanted to see.
And to extract the heart of a Brutalizer brought them even greater satisfaction.
Would Jason dodge?
Ofurse not!
They took it for granted.
After all, in previous fights involving the Xin, even when facing opponents skilled in speed and agility, a killing blow was always delivered in one strike.
Not to mention someone like Jason, who at a glance appeared bulky and not Agile.
The ‘audience’ of the Xin’s livestream thought so.
So did the audience in Jason’s stream.
It’s over!
Those supporting Jason shut their eyes one after another.
Theyuldn’t bear to watch that brutal moment.
So they missed what happened next, hearing only a muffled thud in their ears.
Thump!
It sounded like someone hitting the ground.
Not the sound of flesh being torn.
Those who realized this quickly opened their eyes.
Then they saw the Agile, who had been behind Jason, somehow end up in front of him, sprawled on the ground in disarray.
Thencrete surface showed cracks and depressions.
What happened?
The ‘audience’ inside Jason’s stream asked each other.
While in the Xin’s stream, the ‘audience’ exclaimed in shock.
"How is that possible?!”
"Howuld he catch the Xin’s speed?”
"He looks so big, yet he can be so agile?”
"Is this cheating?!”
…
The barrage ofmments flooded in, representing the astonishment and disbelief of the Xin’s ‘audience’ at that moment.
In fact, it wasn’t just the Xin’s ‘audience’ who were in disbelief.
The Xin himself felt the same way.
Although the strike he delivered just now wasn’t his strongest, nor did it involve any special techniques—just some stabbing and silencing skills he practiced regularly—in his heart, he had already sentenced Jason to death, just like his previous opponents.
Until Jason grabbed his wrist!
"Truly an opponent worth fighting!”
The Xin flipped up, leaping away to distance himself from Jason.
The other dusted off, still facing Jason with a mild smile.
The masked Jason, however, frowned slightly.
It wasn’t because the other was unharmed after the fall, but because the other had ‘slipped’ away from his grasp!
Just when Jason was about to throw him again to quickly end the fight, the other’s palm slipped away like an eel from his grasp.
"Some kind ofmbat technique?”
Jason wondered.
Like with ‘Electric Shock Demon,’ Jason was aware of the basic information about the Xin.
He knew the other came from a martial arts background and used to be a somewhat famous fighter.
But the other’s techniques were kind of beyond Jason’s expectations.
Given the Xin’s moniker, Jason thought the other’smbat skills would be of the ‘Sharpness’ or ‘Sharp’ type, but unexpectedly they were ‘slippery.’ 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
With somencealing techniques as well.
Under such circumstances, the other did not seem like a fighter.
Rather, more like an assassin!
And the other’s displayed ‘camouflage’ alsoincided with that of an assassin.
Named as a ‘fighter,’ but acts like an ‘assassin’?
Jasonuldn’t help but focus intently on his opponent.
His gaze swept across the other’s body, assessing potential skills.
But such scrutiny caused some misunderstanding for the Xin.
"Is it strange?”
"As a fighter, from a young age I practiced resilience to withstand blows, what may be fatal to others is merely a scratch to me.”
"But you, Jason, your reaction just now
"Have you also undergonembat training?”
It seemed the other was inquiring with genuine curiosity.
But as the words fell, the other vanished from Jason’s ‘perception’ once more.
Another surprise attack!
However, such attacks were useless against Jason.
With anstant perception level of seven, Jason’s senses had long surpassed the ordinary ‘sight’ and ‘hearing,’ and his battle instinct allowed him to easily lock on to his target.
Just like with ‘Electric Shock Demon.’
The attacks that seemed dazzling and formed a cage-like speed in the eyes of others were clear and obvious to Jason; he simply had to hold up his knife and wait for the opponent to slam into it on their own.
Because Jason had easily noticed that the ‘Electric Shock Demon’uldn’t evenntrol his own speed.
To put it simply, it was like a sports car that had hit the gas pedal but lost its brakes.
