Chapter 399 Sword and Shield, Martial Arts Bear Master VS Tyranitar! (Part 2)
[The first lightning strike paralyzed him, and then the first attack took effect immediately after he was paralyzed. Seriously, no one else can do that 2333]
Haha, Master Xiong is such a jinx!
[The prison squad actually has a hidden trait: "super lucky," right?]
[Tyranitar: Luck is also part of the battle!]
The unexpected situation on the field took the already explosive barrage of comments in the live stream to an even higher level.
This shows how unlucky Master Xiong was.
However, to be fair, the interruption of [Provocation] did make Master Xiong's already bad situation even worse.
Speed should have been its key asset in this duel against Bangiras's heavy defense and strength advantage.
However, at this moment, the energy blockage caused by the paralysis made its movements noticeably sluggish.
Seeing Tyranitar's aura become noticeably more ferocious after completing his first [Dragon Dance] in the sandstorm, Martial Arts Kuma knew that his speed advantage was likely to be reversed soon.
Continuing to try to use [Taunt] to block Tyranitar's transformation moves is pointless.
We must change our strategy!
Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes sharpened, and he made a decision in an instant.
Since speed is temporarily restricted and the rhythm cannot be perfectly controlled, the most direct approach is to dismantle the opponent in a head-on offensive and defensive battle.
It took a deep breath, enduring the discomfort caused by the paralysis, and mobilized the fighting energy within its body.
This time, the energy no longer pursued extreme concentration and explosion, but rather converged towards the fists with a profound rhythm.
Rock crushing!
Fighting-type physical moves, while not very powerful, have a 50% chance to lower the opponent's physical defense.
Combined with the "Crippling Mark" effect granted by the [Fighting Attribute] bond—it reduces physical defense upon each successful attack.
This is undoubtedly the best option to break through Bangiras's defenses as quickly as possible under the current circumstances.
"Waaah—"
With a low growl, Martial Arts Master Xiong moved.
Even with paralysis, the combo-style form's flexible body coordination and profound martial arts foundation still allow it to perform fluid and powerful offensive movements.
Its feet pounded the ground, its body arched like a bow, its fists tucked under its ribs, and then it unleashed a barrage of attacks like cannonballs.
Bang bang bang—
The dense, drum-like sound of punches remained clearly audible amidst the howling sandstorm.
Martial Arts Bear Master's fists transformed into a blurry shadow, each punch carrying the fighting energy to shatter rocks and split mountains, precisely striking various parts of Tyranitar's body covered in gray-green rock armor.
Bangilas neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he even attempt a proper block.
Its scarlet eyes held only absolute focus and madness.
Faced with a barrage of punches powerful enough to break the bones of an ordinary Rock-type Pokémon, it continued its ancient dragon war dance with even greater intensity.
"Gaho—!"
The roars and the sounds of punches mingled together.
The massive body of Tyranitar thrashed violently in the sandstorm, its thick tail sweeping up clouds of dust, its two feet stomping on the earth, causing it to tremble.
It completely ignored the fists that were landing on its armor, focusing all its attention and energy on the sublimation of power.
With each additional circle it dances, the explosive power it contains increases dramatically.
not enough!
The power of the attack and the speed of the impact are far from sufficient!
To defeat Martial Arts Bear Master, we need even greater power!
Thud—
Master Xiong's [Rock-Shattering] fist strikes continued to hit.
At first, the fists landed on Bangiras's rock armor, leaving only shallow white marks and dull thuds.
But as the [Crippling Mark] layered on, Tyranitar's armor, which was supposed to be the pinnacle of physical defense, began to emit a sickeningly fine cracking sound.
The white marks gradually deepened, and even some areas developed fine, spiderweb-like cracks!
The fourfold restrained fighting energy relentlessly eroded Tyranitar's body like an all-pervasive stream of water.
The elemental advantage caused Tyranitar's steps to become unsteady, no longer firmly rooted to the ground as it had at the beginning.
Finally, after Martial Arts Master Xiong unleashed a powerful punch with a tricky angle.
"Gaho-i—"
Bangiras let out a suppressed roar of pain, his massive body staggering back several steps from the punch, carving a deep trench in the gravel-strewn ground.
But just as it retreated and lost its balance, a sudden change occurred.
Buzz—
A deep, dark red energy shield, as dark as congealed blood, suddenly erupted from Tyranitar's body, instantly enveloping his entire body and triggering Bloodhand's passive effect!
When the equipped spirit's health drops below 60% for the first time, it immediately gains a huge shield based on 80% of its maximum health!
This means that the series of fierce attacks by the Martial Arts Bear Master had reduced Tyranitar's health by more than 40% in a short period of time.
This directly triggered the passive effect of this defensive artifact!
However, the shocking damage and the sudden appearance of the shield did not shake Tyranitar in the slightest.
Instead, its crimson eyes, which had become slightly unfocused due to the intense pain and staggering, suddenly refocused the moment the blood-hand shield rose.
It immediately burst forth with an even more intense golden-orange light!
The third dragon dance is complete!
"roar--!!"
A deafening roar pierced through the sandstorm and soared into the sky.
The aura surrounding Bangiras underwent a qualitative change.
The raging sandstorm, as if summoned by a monarch, spun even more wildly.
An incredibly terrifying pressure, mixed with the Desert Tyrant's sandstorm domain, swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami.
Physical attack and speed increased by 150%, thanks to the blessing of the Three Dragon Dances!
The Bloodhand Shield gives it the ability to withstand damage, while the Three Dragon Dances grant it the power and speed to destroy everything.
Now, the balance of power has shifted.
Bangilas stopped dancing; its massive, mountain-like body lowered slightly, gathering terrifying kinetic energy.
The next second, its right leg, which was wrapped in a dark red shield and entwined with golden-orange light, slammed down like a giant battering ram.
Rumble rumble—
Centered on its landing point, a visible, earth-yellow shockwave spread wildly in all directions in a ring.
Wherever it passed, the already shattered ground was repeatedly plowed as if by a giant plow, with layers of bulging and fractures. The violent tremors were not limited to the battle area, but even affected the entire beach, and even caused the Qiming Island lord's residence in the distance to tremble slightly.
earthquake!
Ground-type physical moves that draw upon the power of the earth to launch indiscriminate area-of-effect attacks.
With a 150% physical attack bonus, this attack is devastating!
The martial arts master Xiong, who was so close at hand, was undoubtedly the target that bore the most complete impact of this [earthquake].
The terrifying shockwave slammed into Martial Arts Master Xiong like an invisible giant wave.
Even as a fighting master with exceptional body control and force-dissipating skills, Martial Arts Master Xiong still felt his internal organs churning.
It felt as if he were standing on raging waves, with no way to gain any leverage. His massive body swayed violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.
However, the value of rigorous martial arts training was revealed at this moment.
Just as its body was about to lose its balance, the martial arts bear master's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Instead of forcibly resisting the shockwaves of the earthquake, it guided the force with the current.
The body, to some extent, resonated with and synchronized with the devastating shock in a dangerous way.
It looks shaky, but it's like a roly-poly toy that never falls over.
But Bangilas is also insidious.
Just as Martial Arts Bear Master was fully focused on dealing with the [earthquake], his body in that delicate balance, Tyranitar's right leg, as thick as a stone pillar, swept out along the ground.
The energy gathered on his legs was a dark red fighting-type aura.
Kick him down!
Fighting-style physical moves, with simple and brutal effects.
The heavier the opponent, the more terrifying the damage.
The weight of the martial arts master Xiong Shi clearly meets the standard of "heavy".
The timing of this sweeping leg strike was extremely tricky, perfectly timed to coincide with the moment when Martial Arts Master Xiong adjusted his posture.
The martial arts bear master's pupils contracted sharply. Most of its mind and strength were used to maintain the synchronous dissipation of the seismic fluctuations, and it had no time to react effectively to this sneak attack from below.
boom-
A dull thud rang out as the dark red energy struck the side of Martial Arts Master Xiong's calf, which was supporting his body.
The immense force and the impact of the fighting energy instantly disrupted its original balance.
Martial Arts Master Xiong let out a muffled groan, feeling his lower body suddenly lose its footing, and his massive body crashed to the side, kicking up a cloud of dust and rubble.
Real-world combat is not like turn-based games where you take turns making moves.
Tyranitar gave his opponent no chance to breathe. Just as the martial arts master fell to the ground, Tyranitar's right leg, which had just completed the sweeping kick, had not even fully retracted before his massive body adjusted its posture using the momentum of the rotation, and his right arm was raised high.
On his arm, deep red fighting energy, condensed like a solid battle axe, rapidly gathered.
Break the tile!
Fighting-type physical moves are also highly effective against Dark-type One-Hit Strike Urshifu.
This strike, imbued with the terrifying power of three dragon dances, descended from above, fiercely slashing down upon the fallen martial arts master Xiong Shi.
Even before the axe blade arrived, the sharp sound of it cutting through the air and the terrifying sense of oppression caused the surrounding air to whistle.
If this [Brick Break] hits squarely, it will be difficult for Urshifu to defend effectively given its current collapsed position, especially considering the type advantage and Tyranitar's currently insane physical attack power...
The consequences could be disastrous.
Even though the [Fighting Attribute] synergy and [Hand of Light and Justice] grant it the ability to turn the tide in dire situations by "the lower its health, the higher its lifesteal efficiency," it is unwilling to gamble on whether it can withstand this fatal blow before then.
In that split second between life and death, an astonishing light burst forth in the eyes of Martial Arts Master Xiong.
The disadvantage of being knocked to the ground did not cause it to panic; the willpower honed by years of martial arts training was on full display at this moment.
see through!
The world seemed to slow down instantly in its eyes.
The trajectory of Bangiras's cleavage, the ripples of energy flow, and even the path of the drifting dust became crystal clear.
Without hesitation, almost the instant the perception was complete, Martial Arts Master Xiong endured the paralysis, his muscles suddenly contracted, and his entire body rolled rapidly to the side.
The crimson energy battle axe grazed the edge of the fur that had billowed up as the Martial Arts Bear Master rolled, and slammed down hard on the spot where it had just been lying.
boom-
The earth groaned in pain.
The ground that was struck was directly annihilated by the extremely concentrated fighting energy, leaving behind a huge crater several meters deep.
The flying debris shot out like bullets, hitting the distant barrier with a crackling sound.
Just as Tyranitar missed his seemingly sure-fire Brick Break, his body momentarily leaned forward and stiffened.
"Whoosh!"
The martial arts master, Xiong Shi, who had fallen to the ground, braced himself with one arm. His body was like a spring compressed to its limit. Using the reaction force from bracing himself and the power of twisting his waist, he swiftly swept his left leg out in the opposite direction, close to the ground.
The energy gathered on his legs was also a dark red fighting aura.
Kick him down!
With the way of the people, also treat the body of the people!
Thud—
This kick landed squarely on Bangiras's hind legs, which were supporting his body.
Tyranitar's terrifying weight became a damage amplifier at this moment.
A burst of dark red energy erupted, and Tyranitar roared in pain as his body, already tilted forward from the impact, completely lost its balance.
Like a collapsing mountain, it crashed forward with a deafening roar, slamming heavily onto the ground and causing the sandstorm to pause.
Using the recoil from that kick, Martial Arts Master Xiong was propelled directly up from the ground.
It completed an exaggerated turn in mid-air, perfectly merging the momentum of its descent with the power of its entire body, its right fist clenched, and deep red fighting energy once again frantically condensed.
Break the tile!
Like a crimson meteorite, the Martial Arts Bear Master, with the force of a tumble, crashed down on Tyranitar, who had just collapsed to the ground and was still standing.
Bangilas fell face down, its massive body and lingering stiffness making it almost impossible for it to avoid the fatal blow from above.
However, those scarlet eyes showed no sign of panic; instead, they became even more focused.
Can't escape it?
Then I won't hide!
Bangilas jerked his head back upwards.
At the same time, a cold, hard, silver-white energy plating that shimmered with metallic light suddenly covered the gray-green skull!
Iron Head!
It must rely on the remaining Blood Hand Shield on its body to withstand this attack in the most ferocious way and carry out a close-range, fatal counterattack.
In a flash, the red meteorite and the silver iron head collided with a deafening roar.
boom-
Unlike any other energy explosion, this impact sounded extremely muffled, yet it caused people's hearts to stop.
The terrifying ripples of power visibly spread out, temporarily clearing away a section of the surrounding sandstorm.
The silver-metal head of Tyranitar was slammed into the ground by the falling Brick Break, causing it to sink deep into the already shattered ground below.
Martial Arts Master Xiong was no better off.
The moment the fist slammed into the iron head, the recoil caused its entire right arm to go numb instantly.
The enormous reaction force propelled his body high backward, where it tumbled several times before finally managing to regain its balance and land heavily on the ground.
Feeling the pain and numbness in his arm, Martial Arts Master Xiong was secretly alarmed.
Even with a four-fold advantage, this all-out [Brick Break] could only manage a draw against Tyranitar?
What terrifying power this is.
To make matters worse, because of that damned Bloodhand Shield, most of the damage from my attacks was absorbed by the shield.
The life steal effects of [Hand of Light and Justice] and the bond almost never triggered, and all the damage hit the shield. No matter how high the life steal is, it's useless.
We can't fight it head-on.
This is the peak of Tyranitar's enhanced state, so we must temporarily avoid its power!
In the blink of an eye, Martial Arts Master Xiong made a slash in the air with his left hand, fingers pointing like a knife.
A blue energy blast, imbued with pure fighting spirit and waveguide power, instantly took shape.
It then shot towards Bangiras, who had just pulled his head out of the ground and was shaking his head, feeling somewhat dizzy.
Wave Missile!
Fighting-type special moves, guaranteed to hit.
Although both are four times weak to each other, Urshifu's special attack is far inferior to its physical attack.
More importantly, during sandstorms, Tyranitar gains a 1.5x special defense bonus.
The deterrent effect of this [wave missile] lies more in disrupting and forcing movement than in causing decisive damage.
Sure enough, Tyranitar merely glanced at the incoming light blast with his crimson eyes, not even bothering to mount a proper defense or dodge.
puff-
The azure light blast hit its target, exploding into a cloud of energy mist, but it was quickly swallowed up by the sandstorm.
It shook its head, almost completely unharmed.
His gaze was once again fixed on Martial Arts Master Xiong, and he took a big step, ready to charge again!
However, just as it passed through the energy mist that had not yet completely dissipated and lost sight of it, the figure of the martial arts bear master vanished!
It wasn't a fleeting afterimage left by high-speed movement, but a genuine disappearance from the original location.
Dig a hole?
Bangalore made a decision instantly, almost without hesitation, and stomped its huge paw heavily on the ground again.
earthquake!
The ground trembled violently again, and the shockwave propagated underground.
However, the vibrations reported back were abnormal.
There was no sign of any excavation or underground creatures.
No, it's not underground!
Bangilas suddenly realized something, and his scarlet eyes snapped upwards.
But it was too late.
A sharp whooshing sound came from directly overhead.
The figure of the Martial Arts Bear Master appeared there without anyone noticing, its body enveloped in a layer of swift and agile flight-type energy.
The friction between its body and the air created a white shockwave, and with a speed and angle exceeding its usual straight-line sprint limit, it kicked down hard towards Bangiras's back.
Swallows return!
Flying-type physical attacks are guaranteed to hit.
At the crucial moment, the martial arts bear master switched his attribute orientation and launched a surprise attack with a flying-type move.
Although its damage is not as great as fighting-type moves, it has the advantage of being unexpected and can bypass the strongest frontal defenses.
Bangilas only managed to barely twist his body.
At the same time, between the sharp teeth, violent golden lightning surged forth once more, biting back at the figure attacking from the air.
Lightning Fang!
The flying kick with a whooshing sound and the counter-bite with the lightning fangs struck the opponent almost simultaneously.
Both of them let out a painful groan and stumbled backward.
But this time, as they retreated, a glint of light ignited in the eyes of both elves.
They both knew that their opponent had also reached their limit.
The next confrontation could very well be the decisive moment.
There was no respite, no adjustment.
The moment Martial Arts Master Xiong landed, he endured the excruciating pain and numbness from the lightning burning his legs, and poured all the last remaining strength in his body into his right fist, which was condensed with dark red evil energy.
Nowhere to be found!
The fighting-attribute physical moves become more terrifyingly powerful the user is in poor condition.
At this moment, Martial Arts Master Xiong's condition is like a candle flickering in the wind; the power of this strike will reach an unbelievable level!
Almost at the same instant, Bangiras also regained his balance.
Ignoring the pain in its neck and mouth, it gathered all the power accumulated from the Triple Dragon Dance into its right arm.
It's also a strike that goes all out—the tile-splitting attack!
Amidst the raging sandstorm, two figures, like two blood-red meteors hurtling in opposite directions, charged toward each other with an indomitable and fierce momentum.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
All the onlookers, whether they were champions like Cynthia Dante, young trainers like Iris and Nemo, or the millions of viewers in front of the live stream.
They all held their breath at that moment.
The next moment—
boom-
A terrifying explosion, indescribable in its horror, erupted in the heart of the battlefield.
An enormous sphere of chaotic energy suddenly expanded.
The blinding light made the night retreat, and the terrifying shockwave instantly vaporized all the surrounding gravel, dust, and even the unmelted ice crystals.
The barrier set up by Rashiram trembled violently, and large cracks appeared on its surface, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
The light lasted for several seconds before slowly fading away.
As the dust settled, the scene inside the barrier gradually became clear.
In the center of the battlefield, a huge crater several meters deep appeared.
At either end of the pit, two elves lay lying there.
Martial Arts Master Xiong maintained his punching posture, but the dark red energy at the tip of his fist had dissipated.
Bangiras lay on his side on the other side, and the golden light of the dragon dance had dimmed.
perish together!
