Dueling in the water is nothing to Master Mao and Shui Yingyao, as long as a simple breath-holding spell can stay in the water for a long time, and they can also speak normally. But the biggest problem here underwater is not breathing, but pressure.
Water pressure is a kind of physical restraint. It is different from the sense of oppression brought by powerful strength. Water pressure exists and can be felt all the time. Under water, speed, strength and some tricks will be affected, even The line of sight is also deviated by the refraction of light by water.
Therefore, this duel is actually full of variables...
"Before I fight, I want to tell you something." Master Mao said.
Shui Yingyao still looked cold: "I don't think you have anything to say."
"Actually, there are still...about five years ago..."
Shui Yingyao interrupted him: "I already know everything."
Master Mao was stunned by this, his eyes widened, and the fight in S City a few months ago and the conversation at that time flashed through his mind.
…
"I have no interest in fighting anymore today, Ripper, I will come to you again, and I want to take back what belongs to me."
"Cut... What a wayward woman. It's been five years. Are you still obsessed with the title of 'Master Cat'? Haven't you already won the highest title in other cities? I think it's called 'Thousand Winds', right?" Could it be an excuse for simply wanting to entangle me?"
"I just don't want to lose to you, that's all."
…
"So that's how it is... You already knew the truth at that time." Only then did Master Mao understand why Shui Yingyao, who had been away for five years, suddenly came back again.
"Do you think you can really hide it from me forever?"
"Now that you know, do we still need to fight again? You have no reason to hate me, do you?"
Shui Yingyao smiled, but it was a sneer, with resentment and bitterness in his eyes: "You lied to me."
"Hey... At that time, it was also for your own good..."
"You think I can't accept reality, so I forged a reality, but I can't accept losing you either."
"Hehe... You said such things... I feel a little embarrassed to hear it..."
"Years later, you want to tell me the reality again, because you think it's time, and I can accept it."
"Well... mainly because I don't want to fight with you..."
"Who are you? I'm not a thing of you. Why do you decide for me, what I should know, what I should forget, and what I should accept."
Master Cat stopped talking. He had indeed thought about this question, but he didn't have an answer.
Shui Yingyao went on to say: "You lied to me, but you also protected me, so I shouldn't hate you, and I should just be at your mercy?"
"that… "
"You don't need to argue anymore, there is no secret between you and me. I said it a few months ago, I just don't want to lose to you, that's all."
Master Mao really couldn't say anything, because Shui Yingyao had already attacked.
She didn't take off the steel needle coiled on her hair, and her long hair would affect her movement if it spread out underwater, so she directly transformed into her soul weapon.
Eight long and narrow steel needles appeared between the five fingers of Shui Yingyao's hands, each of which shone with a translucent blue light, and her weapon was actually very similar to Master Cat.
Master Cat knew that this battle was inevitable, and his scalpel slid out from his fingers, shining red.
"Why don't the two of them start fighting? My eyes are sore from looking at me like this." Wang Xu has already moved the barbecue grill to the water's edge so that he can get things from the rack.
Ning Feng still stared at the bottom of the water: "It seemed that they were talking about something just now, but they were too far away and blocked by the water, so they could only vaguely see their mouths moving."
"Ahh..." Wang Xu yawned, "Who do you think will win this duel?"
"It should be Sister Shui who will win. I heard from Uncle Zheng at home that even among the ten kings of Hades, she is definitely a superpower." The Uncle Zheng that Ning Feng was referring to was one of the four masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Swipe like a cloud, Zheng Bi, this man was almost instantly killed after fighting with Shui Yingyao, so he tried his best to blow his opponent up high afterwards, so as to save himself a little face from the side...
Duan Fei said: "I also hope that Senior Shui can win." After he finished speaking, two seconds later, he added: "Because I really hate the Ripper..."
Wang Xu patted him on the shoulder: "I understand you very well..."
The cat master in the water sneezed, and once again dodged Shui Yingyao's slash.
At this moment, his nerves are highly concentrated, and he is desperately parrying the opponent's attack. The underwater battle is more difficult than he imagined. Even the simplest movement and retreat will feel huge buoyancy and resistance.
"It's not quite right...how is she still so fast." Master Mao was puzzled, why Shui Yingyao seemed not to be affected by pressure at all, you must know that this is an irresistible physical phenomenon like gravity, her spiritual ability Master Mao also knew that it was impossible for this situation to happen now.
But the reality is that all this still happened, Master Cat's speed was caught up, or even surpassed, the two tried tentatively, and it turned out that Master Cat was at a disadvantage.
"Do you find it strange?" Shui Yingyao asked suddenly.
Master Mao was stunned again, usually he saw through the opponent's fighting style, fighting habits, and even psychological activities, but this time, the person who was seen through was himself.
"That's how you are. You are self-righteous. The reason why you don't want to fight me is because you think I can't beat you!" Shui Yingyao raised her voice.
Master Mao said: "You have really grown up..."
"Let me tell you why I am faster than you, because... I work harder than you, I want to win more than you, I am better than you!"
This is indeed the only reasonable explanation, and it is also a difficult fact to accept, but Master Mao has to accept it, because facts are facts, and it is meaningless to deny the opponent's strength. The only way is to accept the reality and come up with countermeasures. right way.
Shui Yingyao threw out the steel needle in his hand, it was just a steel needle.
Master Cat knew that the real duel had just started at this moment.
His left shoulder was pierced, and the faint blue light penetrated his body, without the slightest pain, not even a drop of blood flowed from the wound.
"Break!" Shui Yingyao read.
Master Cat's left hand hangs down weakly, and the four scalpels in his hand sink into the water. He cannot avoid this stab, but it can disintegrate Shui Yingyao's spiritual power.
"return!"
Master Cat covered his left shoulder with his right hand, and while running away, regained the feeling of his left hand.
But when he turned his head, he saw that Shui Yingyao was already in front of him, his face was almost touching him, the speed surprised him.
Then, unconsciously, all his limbs were penetrated by the faint blue light...
