Chapter 279: The Dragon and Tiger Team wins
"Ah, Sakazaki Ryo really lived up to expectations and defeated two members of the Fury Team in a row!"
With Clark knocked out, the studio commentator got to work: "The Dragons and Tigers are currently leading the Fury 2-1. Then, according to the process of the game, the next player on the Rage team is Liana. ”
Teacher Zeng on the side also commented: "Although Liana is the youngest member of the Fury Team and a woman, she can stand in the King of Fighters arena because of her strength. It can be said that the three members of the Fury Team have no obvious shortcomings. ”
There is no doubt that Mr. Zeng's words have already hinted that the opponent of the Rage team, the Dragon and Tiger team, has obvious shortcomings, of course, this cannot be said as a commentary.
So the commentator on the side spoke up and changed the topic: "Teacher Zeng, do you mean that Liana has a big chance of winning this game?" ”
"Yes!"
Teacher Zeng nodded and said: "Sakazaki Liang has fought two games in a row, and his physical strength is very high, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and Liana, who is guaranteed to appear on the stage of the Fury Team, is no worse than Ralph and Clark who played before.
"With the trade-offs going to the end, I think Sakazaki is likely to lose this game, and Liana will be able to drag the fight to the final tiebreaker."
"Wow, tiebreaker?"
The commentator sighed: "For the audience, it was definitely a game worth the ticket price." ”
Teacher Zeng also said: "Yes, although the previous game between the three artifact teams and the hungry wolf team was also very exciting, but because it was the relationship between Kusanagi Kyo and the three, the number of games was too small and it was not watchable. Even I think it's too short. ”
After that, the most shadow and Teacher Zeng looked at each other and smiled, and then the most shadow asked, "Then Teacher Zeng, what kind of tactics do you think the two sides will use?" ”
"That's a good question."
After a little thought, Mr. Zeng said, "Due to the different situations of the two sides, the tactics used are definitely different. ”
"Let's start with the Dragon and Tigers' side, because Ryo Sakazaki has a lot of consumption in two consecutive games and has little chance of winning, so I think he is likely to make full use of his remaining stamina and consume Liana as much as possible to create a better chance of winning for Robert, who will appear later."
"As for the Fury team, Liana will definitely want to make a quick decision, quickly solve the already consumed Sakazaki Ryo, and reserve enough physical strength for her next match against Robert."
"Well, that's a logical tactic."
As the intermission drew to a close, Liana began to walk to the ring, and the commentator said:
"Audience friends, Liana has walked to the ring, and the exciting game is about to begin!"
Liana, with blue hair similar to Rei Ayana, and a similar personality, is taciturn and rarely expresses her emotions. And when this character is embodied in a soldier, it gives people a cold-blooded feeling.
For example, now, in the face of the fierce shouts of the audience, Liana walked to the ring with a blank face and looked at her opponent Ryo Sakazaki.
"Yes, Liana."
In the stands, all three members of the women's martial arts team pulled their right hands to their chins in a thoughtful look.
Soon, Joan was the first to speak, "I think Liana is a good fit for our female martial arts team. ”
Shiranui immediately agreed, "Agreed!" ”
Mary also said, "We can try to contact her for the next King of Fighters." ”
At the same time, in the ring, Liana did not say a word as always, and silently assumed a fighting stance. Just opposite her, Ryo Sakazaki took a deep breath and opened the battle stance!
"Phew!"
As the bell rang for the start of the match, Liana rushed towards Sakazaki with lightning speed, her arms stretched out and slashed towards her opponent like a sharp blade!
"Mighty Saber!"
At her fingertips, there was a fierce light like a sharp blade, as if even steel could be chopped.
Liana's set of attacks has already shown that she is different from the previous Ralph and Clark, she is not a power player, but an agile type that completely crushes Sakazaki with speed!
Fortunately, although his speed could not match that of his opponent, Sakazaki still relied on his experience and understanding of his opponent to judge Liana's attack trajectory and retreat in time......
It's a pity it's still late!
"Smasher!"
Before Sakazaki could take a step back, Liana had already raised her legs and did a backflip, and interestingly, her toes were like fingers, drawing a cold light in mid-air like a sharp blade!
As for Ryo Sakazaki, he originally fought two battles in a row and consumed a lot, but he was immediately hit, and a long gap was drawn on the clothes on his chest, and a red mark was left on his skin.
Fortunately, the King of Fighters tournament is a competition, so Liana has a restrained shot, otherwise Sakazaki Ryo may see blood.
Seeing this scene, the most shadowy in the studio immediately shouted, "Oh, is Liana going to defeat Ryo Sakazaki in one go?" ”
Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least on the scene, Liana did take advantage of the first move and launched a series of strikes towards Ryo Sakazaki, who was unstable because of the move!
"X-caliber cannon!"
I saw Liana leap high into the air, waving her hands at Ryo Sakazaki who was standing on the ground, and slashing out a cold light like the letter "X" from top to bottom.
Ryo Sakazaki, who knew that he was powerful, did not choose to retreat, but:
"Tiger roar!"
In the face of an opponent attacking from the air, Sakazaki Liang did not hesitate to play the dragon rising technique and launch a counterattack!
"Crackle!"
The moment the two fists collided, a sound of gold and iron clashing resounded throughout the audience, and the two also killed each other and retreated.
Sakazaki, who was very consumed, took three steps back to stabilize his figure, and then he immediately looked up ahead, ready to deal with Liana's possible follow-up attack.
However, a scene that surprised Sakazaki Liang happened, it stands to reason that Liana, who has just come on the field and is in full condition, should stabilize her body faster than Sakazaki Liang after the fight just now.
But in fact, after Liana landed, she took five steps back to stabilize her figure, two more steps back than Sakazaki Ryo!
In this way, Liana simply did not have enough time and opportunity to launch an offensive, but instead gave Sakazaki a chance to fight back!
As a martial artist, Ryo Sakazaki, no matter what situation he finds himself in, the competition is all about winning with all his might!
So he immediately seized the opportunity and pushed forward with both palms to play a super must-kill:
"Overlord Xiang roars!"
The huge qigong wave mercilessly hit Liana's body, directly knocking the latter flying!
However, this blow alone is not enough.
So Ryo Sakazaki immediately launched another offensive:
"Swift Wind Feet!"
I saw Sakazaki Liang's body, like a loaded bullet, rushed towards Liana, who had just landed, and kicked out his legs!
The first blow hit the latter in the waist; The second blow hit the latter in the jaw and knocked him flying on the spot!
It's time to finish!
Sakazaki Liang took a deep breath, gathered all his remaining strength, and hit the falling Liana with a decisive blow:
"Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist!"
The right fist, which condensed the strength of Sakazaki's whole body, hit Liana directly in the chest, and the latter was like a kite with a broken string, floating several meters away before falling heavily to the ground.
At this moment, no one noticed that Liana's eyes suddenly glowed red for a moment, but in the next moment, Liana clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes immediately returned to their original state.
Seeing this, the commentator in the studio immediately said excitedly:
"Oh, pretty!"
"Ryo Sakazaki, who originally thought that there was not much chance, really seized the fleeting opportunity and played a gorgeous combo to defeat Liana!"
Teacher Zeng on the side also smiled: "Yes, even I can't believe that Ryo Sakazaki, who has fought twice in a row, really defeated Liana, who is in full form." ”
At this moment, because Liana couldn't get up for a long time, the referee on the scene decided that she had lost her combat effectiveness, so he pronounced the verdict:
"Ryo Sakazaki won, and the Dragon Tigers defeated the Rage team 3-1 to advance to the next round!"
In the shouts of the audience, Ryo Sakazaki, as the victor, raised his right fist high to swear victory, Robert in the players' lounge was also waving in celebration, and Yuri Sakazaki, who had recovered, jumped up and shouted:
"Brother, well done!"
Of course, there was Joan in the audience, and she also excitedly shouted, "Liang, play beautifully!" ”
As a result, it drew another stare from Mary and Mai Shiranui......
Subsequently, the screen cut back to the studio, commentating on Zhiying and Teacher Zeng, and began to review the previous two games again, commenting and analyzing the essence and details......
But outside the picture, Liana, who had been lying for a while, finally stood up from the ground, and silently turned around and walked down the ring and walked back to the player's rest area amid the crowd's shouts for the winner.
Hadilan, the leader of the mercenary team, was already standing in the rest area for some time, and Ralph and Clark stood neatly in front of him in a military queue.
Liana, who stepped forward, first gave a standard military salute to Hardirlan, and then stood straight next to Ralph and stood in the queue!
"Well done."
Hadilan didn't seem to care about the defeat in the ring at all, but praised his men: "The first step of your mission has been completed, then the second step should be carried out, and the old team will be monitored, especially Latipu!" ”
Only to hear Hadiren continue: "According to the information obtained so far, as early as the day before the start of the King of Fighters tournament, Latipu seems to have been injured in the battle with Ashu and others. This means that he is not invincible, and we need to find out his weaknesses. ”
The three members of the Fury Team said in unison:
"Yes!"
On the other side, on the airship, Li Yunfeng also seemed to see the clue, and said to Rose and Gaoyue:
"Just now, Liana didn't seem to do her best, that time the two sides fought each other, she should have the advantage, but she actually retreated at least three more steps."
"What is this? Water? Doesn't she want to win? ”
"yes, the three members of the Fury Team didn't want to win in the first place."
Rose explained to Li Yunfeng: "Don't forget, Li, the mercenary group where the Fury Team is located is hired by us as a group to protect the competition, so Hadilan has only one purpose, and that is to help us find Latip's weakness!" ”
