For them, Black Panther possesses the power of guardian that has been passed down for thousands of years. He is the most supreme being in Wakanda and also the strongest person in this advanced and wild land.
There is no reason for the Black Panther King to lose to a war hero from the outside world! Almost all the natives of Wakanda firmly believe this.
"Kyle, show your true strength and let these natives see the top combat power outside this closed country!" Howard stood at the entrance of the cave, his palms sweating. He seemed very panicked, but he was actually calm and steady in his heart.
How could the local natives understand that it was an undefeated symbol of peace, a legend with glorious achievements, and that there was absolutely no reason for it to lose no matter where it was!
On the landing platform with a waterfall cliff as the background, Black Panther prepared for battle, raised his hands gently, and his vibranium-forged nails and claws stretched out coldly.
His entire body was covered in dark vibranium, like a humanoid black panther, with the aura of a king, wild, aloof, and majestic.
This small move of the Black Panther caused countless natives around to cheer.
"Venom, full coverage mode, claw form." Kyle whispered. The Venom suit adhered to the surface of the tall body. The black liquid quickly flowed and transformed, more like the original tough keratin membrane of a living creature, covering the whole body, and condensed into a dark hood on the neck to cover the face and hair.
Dark claws extended from the end of Kyle's fist, his narrow eyes glowed scarlet, and with a bloody grin, he seemed to have become a demon monster from the dark hell.
Cruelty, tyranny, savagery, killing, these words seem to have been created to describe this.
This fully covered body of his was born purely for combat and tempered through countless battles, and the moment it transformed under the sunlight, the indigenous people who had been calling for the Black Panther lost their voices collectively. They could only gasp and look in fear at the powerful and aggressive humanoid monster that landed on the stage.
"Can we start?" Kyle smiled and looked at Black Panther with a cold and domineering gaze.
"Of course." Black Panther nodded slightly.
The next moment, the two bodies moved at the same time, and a burst of white water splashed where they were standing.
Two black figures, at an astonishing speed several times faster than that of humans, blurred into afterimages in the visual field, and suddenly collided with each other accompanied by strong winds and splashes of water.
"Bang!"
With the two of them as the center, the accumulated water under their feet exploded outwards under the powerful impact, creating ripples.
"What a terrifying power." Black Panther was secretly surprised. He held Kyle's claws with both hands, steadied his feet, kept his composure, and faced the enemy head-on without taking a single step back.
If he hadn't been protected by his vibranium suit, with most of his power removed, he would have been blown away by Kyle in the first encounter, and it would not have been as evenly matched as it seemed now.
Kyle frowned. The vibranium's ability to restrain melee physical attacks was too severely weakened.
“Come again!”
Kyle did not give up physical attacks at all, and insisted on using fast boxing and stabbing with sharp claws. He touched Black Panther's vibranium armor, and it was difficult to break through the surface defense. However, the tons of punch power still forced Black Panther to retreat a step.
"Come on!" Black Panther was not willing to be outdone. His voice was full of vicissitudes of life and he stepped forward instead of retreating, throwing himself into the battle with the same youthful fighting spirit.
After the collision of their superhuman physiques and special battle suits, Kyle and Black Panther once again entangled in a game of fighting, with the splashing of water droplets, a back-and-forth battle of strength and skills.
With superhuman strength, speed, and physical fitness, as well as the comprehensive defense of each other's battle suits, and the addition and cancellation of each other's different battle suits, the close combat between the two men lasted for more than five minutes without stopping.
The indigenous people watching opened their eyes wide in disbelief. They never expected that this outsider actually possessed a fighting power that was no less than that of Black Panther. You know, Black Panther was the most powerful king who ruled and protected this land!
"King? Humph. You probably don't know what a legendary hero is! In the field of combat, Kyle is a god!" Howard smiled happily.
He knew that this seemingly stalemate battle could basically be declared over - after all, the man he knew well loved to hide his cards.
In the fierce and exciting battle on the stage, the vibranium claws tore at the vibranium arm guard that Kyle used to block, leaving five slight white marks and making a sharp and piercing strange sound.
"Whip form!"
Kyle recited to himself as the sharp claws on his left hand quickly transformed into a black whip. The whip swung at supersonic speed and hit a black shadow that was moving at an extremely fast speed.
Black Panther fell into the water without moving, then stood up quickly while panting. His majestic and cold gaze pierced through the vibranium beast mask and fell directly on Kyle.
"Don't you understand? As long as I wear this one-piece full-body battle suit made of vibranium, there is no possibility of me being defeated." Black Panther said in a deep and confident voice.
"Okay. I have to admit one fact, that is - you are more durable than Steve." Kyle shrugged and glanced at the chest. There were some traces of Venom's outer coat being torn by the vibranium claws, and a few drops of blood overflowed from the inner skin.
Although the self-healing ability has been lost on the surface, Venom also has super self-healing ability and can quickly repair the damage to the transformed battle suit.
After five minutes, he was slightly injured, but Black Panther's vibranium suit showed no signs of damage.
"Durable?" Black Panther shook his head in disapproval.
"Haven't you noticed yet? I only used three fighting skills to fight you just now." Kyle stated a fact coldly.
"Three? What did you say?" Black Panther frowned, feeling uneasy. Isn't it normal to have three fighting skills
Kyle did not answer, but smiled mysteriously and said: "The vibranium suit is inherently invincible, right? I really hope that you, old king, can withstand the next attack—"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped on the ground and rushed towards the black panther with great force.
Black Panther's body tensed up, and he just raised his arm to launch a claw attack, but Kyle seemed to have predicted his action in advance, and raised his right hand easily, using the vibranium arm guard to block the vibranium claws.
"An illusion?"
Black Panther was shocked, but Kyle's performance immediately afterwards shocked him so much that he was completely speechless.
Even before he could launch any effective fighting moves that he thought he was proficient in, his opponent would see through them and neutralize them with simple movement techniques.
If it happens once or twice, it can be attributed to luck, but every time it happens, the old Black Panther King is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood!
Chapter 144 Above the King
"What's going on, Your Majesty?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"No way, could our king... lose?"
The indigenous people who were watching the battle generally had terrified looks on their faces, and even kept their comments to a minimum, nervously watching the battle situation turn into a one-sided crushing victory in an instant.
From a third-party perspective, in the battle on the stage, Black Panther was eager to get back on track, but every time he launched a swift and powerful attack, Kyle easily saw through it, and took countermeasures in advance, easily eliminating his fighting attacks.
"How could this happen..." Under the beast-shaped vibranium mask, the old king's weathered face was full of surprise and confusion.
Although he himself is an old warrior, Kyle, who is decades younger than him, has far superior fighting skills and combat experience.
Yes, fighting skills are the biggest difference between the two!
This gap will only be clearly reflected when the physical strength, equipment and combat uniforms of each other are not much different, and their fighting style is mainly close combat.
"Your punch isn't sharp enough. Raise your step a little higher." Kyle whispered, as if he was facing a child card player in the family. He verbally instructed and trained him while parrying and dealing with the fierce and sharp attacks of the black panther.
"Damn it." The old king gritted his teeth. As the powerful Black Panther, this was the first time he had suffered such humiliation in a battle in decades.
The hardness of vibranium metal ranks first among all metals on Earth. If it is used to make a full-body battle suit, it is naturally invulnerable to swords and guns. However, it does not greatly increase the offensive capability. The vibranium claws are the only semi-auxiliary weapons, and the offense depends entirely on the primitive fighting skills honed from fighting against wild beasts and invaders.
The primitive fighting skills that have been passed down for thousands of years are unparalleled in the country, but in Kyle's opinion, these skills are too crude and simple.
