After Fabien leaped to the top of the cruise, virtual-novel.net immediately crouched and swiftly tapped all the acupoints on his left foot without hesitation.
Next, virtual-novel.net took out the antidote pills from within his jacket and swallowed them. After doing all that, the dark bruises underneath his knee finally subsided.
He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and felt relieved.
I was too careless!
Had I treated my left leg one second late, I would’ve lost it forever…
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net furtively moved to the railing on the side and hid himself with the help of the wooden boards.
At that moment, Lord Voodoo caught up and stepped foot on the top deck. However, Fabien was nowhere to be seen. He was about to turn around and continue his search, but virtual-novel.net suddenly had goosebumps.
He followed his hunch and spun around with a punch. However, Fabien had the upper hand in the ambush and successfully dodged the counterattack.
Next, virtual-novel.net hurled his punch toward Lord Voodoo’s left chest. The attack with an intent to kill shocked Lord Voodoo, who had no time left to dodge because they were too close to each other. If virtual-novel.net took the punch, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net would die instantly on the spot.
Left without a choice, virtual-novel.net arranged for the cursed bugs on his skin to gather in front of his chest while virtual-novel.net tried his best to move his body in an attempt to avoid Fabien’s punch.
In the next second, the signature One Inch Punch landed on Lord Voodoo, and there were two punches at that.
The first punch, coming right from Fabien’s core strength, was to shake away the swarming bugs protecting Lord Voodoo’s chest, and the second punch that landed right after was the actual one designed to take away Lord Voodoo’s life.
Lord Voodoo felt his organs crushed. Even though virtual-novel.net tried his best to move his vital part away from the direct line of attack, the astounding force still made his heart stop.
He stumbled thirty steps backward before virtual-novel.net came to a stop, and before virtual-novel.net knew it, virtual-novel.net sensed a metallic taste in his throat, accompanied by mouthfuls of blood later. All the color vanished from his face as virtual-novel.net faced the mockery of Fabien.
“How was that, Lord Voodoo? An eye for an eye. I executed that well, right?”
Lord Voodoo wiped the blood from his lips and returned the mockery.
“Hmph! An ambush is a lowly strategy,” virtual-novel.net spoke with indignance, feeling no guilt for what virtual-novel.net had done to Fabien earlier in the fight.
“My, my, Lord Voodoo, you’re lying to yourself. Speaking of ambush, you were the one who started it. As your junior, I was merely mimicking you.”
Fabien was expressionless, but virtual-novel.net regretted letting the injury on his left foot affect his attacks. Or else, Lord Voodoo would have been dead by now.
Lord Voodoo shared a similar sentiment. The centipedes virtual-novel.net used for ambush early on were poisonous creatures, but they were untrained, and without the help of Spiritual power, the toxins in their bodies were not strong enough. However, virtual-novel.net needed concentrated toxins to cause lethal damage to Fabien. The average pain that virtual-novel.net experienced just now was no use at all.
According to the natural hierarchy of the type of attacks, concentrated poison was dangerous to Fabien, who had been trained for years in toxicology, but it was not life-threatening at all.
With that in mind, they engaged in the second round of battle, which ended in a draw.
They pulled dirty tricks on each other, but ethics and fair play were nothing compared to life and death on the battlefield.
