MM Racing Chapter 43: I won the lottery!
Chapter 43: I won the lottery!
A man and a cat stand facing each other, each holding a knife.
Chen Yan's breathing was steady. He held the knife in the standard way, with his right hand firmly gripping the middle of the handle and his left hand loosely holding the end of the handle, and slowly walked towards Hua Miao.
This sword-wielding stance is both offensive and defensive, and it is the starting move for many of the Katana Swordsman's combos. No matter what tricks Flower Cat plays, he has to find a way to break through the wooden sword in his hand.
Hua Miao, who also walked towards Chen Yan, was much more casual.
It was breathing rapidly, dragging its knife with one claw, its trembling little flowery arm making the sand path the knife tip cut crooked, its eyebrows drooping and its little tongue lolling out, looking like it was about to collapse from exhaustion.
But the two of them, one human and one cat, must have more than eight hundred schemes between them.
That's what Chen Yan thought.
"That fat thief, Flower Cat, is cunning and treacherous. He revealed his weakness after just one battle. Judging from his darting eyes, he must be plotting something again. I will use righteousness to overcome evil and slay him under the dragon."
This is what Flower Cat thinks.
"Fourth brother Chen Yan, bullying the weak with his size, forced me to exert myself in a futile effort after just one fight. Watch as I use my dragging-blade technique to feign weakness, waiting for his guard to drop before launching a sudden attack to overwhelm evil with righteousness and slay him under the dragon."
The person and the cat gradually drew closer.
Chen Yan stared intently at the cat's right paw, which was dragging the wooden sword. He was ready to unleash a swift, decisive strike the moment the cat made a move...
But he was almost at the cat's face, yet it still wouldn't make a move. Seeing that if he got any closer, he would have to use his katana as a staff, Chen Yan couldn't hold back any longer and made the first move.
Just as he was about to test Flower Cat with another surprise attack, the sun came out.
During the earlier competition, the sunlight was blocked by a menacing cloud. As the sun rose higher, the cloud lost its effect, and the scorching sunlight once again shone on this yellowish-brown desert.
The moment the sun came out, Chen Yan knew something bad was about to happen.
He had been tricked by that fat thief again without even realizing it!
Because the sudden sunlight was shining directly into his eyes, in order to avoid the sunlight, he subconsciously shifted his gaze, which was focused on the flower cat, an inch to the left.
It was this tiny movement of his eyes that made him suddenly realize that half of Hua Miao's body was gone from his sight.
The cat, who had been dawdling for half a day, was waiting for this moment when the sun would come out.
"Aha, take this Great Spinning Slash!"
The cat's weak steps and movements disappeared. It let out an angry meow, dragging the wooden sword with its paws in a 360-degree spin around its body, pouring all its strength into the wooden sword and making it whistle as it struck Chen Yan's thigh.
Flower Cat is really going all out to get a good night's sleep tonight!
Chen Yan's eyesight was failing, but his ears were perked up, and he naturally heard the sound of the blade whistling past.
If it were a powerhouse of Azure Star's level, they could probably tell the target of Flower Cat Wood Blade with just one ear, but Chen Yan is still one Azure Star away from being an Azure Star.
He could only instinctively lunge to the left.
Good news! Not only did he escape the attack, but the sunlight was no longer shining directly on him, and he could see again.
The bad news is that instead of holding back, Flower Cat has poured all its remaining strength into this missed strike.
"It will make the swallows return!"
Chen Yan, who had mastered the three moves of Flower Cat, could see through its thoughts at a glance. Even if he hadn't mastered the three moves, he could still recognize it, since Flower Cat had used this move in front of Chen Yan at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand.
Flower Cat knew that Chen Yan knew it wanted to use the Swallow Return technique, so it could only desperately squeeze out every last bit of strength hidden in the base of its tail!
Success or failure hinges on this one move!
What is meant by "swallows returning"?
Among birds, the swallow is known for its flying speed.
This move can be used to slash at swallows. It is all about speed. With an extremely fast blade speed, you slash down and then bounce back to slash again. It is so fast that even a nimble swallow has nowhere to hide. You can slash twice in an instant.
But Flower Cat took a different approach. It knew that it had short arms and a fat body, so its knife-wielding speed was not fast, or even slow.
Therefore, it abandons the power of its downward strike and focuses all its energy on the upward strike power when it bounces off the ground.
At that moment, the blade was only a split second away from touching the ground.
"Should we clash with the Swallow Return technique to overpower it? Or should we surprise it with the Hidden Blade Slash? Or perhaps try the third move?"
Numerous solutions flashed through Chen Yan's mind, but as he landed on the ground and supported himself with one hand, a sudden inspiration struck him.
"Hmm, the shipment has been completed?"
His hand, which was pressed to the ground, seemed to have a jade-like luster, as if he had touched something good.
[Gold Digger]: Not only are combustible stones or sticky stones buried under your feet, but also pottery jars. There is a very small chance that you will dig up special items when you dig.
"Never mind, whether we win or lose, it all comes down to what we can get with this move!"
Chen Yan shoved his fingers into the sand and felt something rough and oval-shaped. He didn't have time to figure it out because the sound of Hua Miao's knife hitting the ground was already echoing in his ears.
Chen Yan threw what he had dug up directly at Hua Miao, but Hua Miao, who had already used Swallow Return, didn't care about this or that!
Anyone who dares to stand in its way will be cut down, you bastard!
The sandstorm that had been carrying the mysterious object dissipated, and it was finally fully exposed to Chen Yan, Hua Miao, Brother Dragon, Brother Dragon, and Harley.
Upon witnessing its magnificent appearance, everyone, including the dragon, was stunned, except for the cat.
With a sinister grin, Hua Miao didn't hold back at all. The wooden sword, now imbued with immense force, was faster than a steel blade, cleaving the creature in two.
Sparks drifted by, and a sudden, pungent smell of lava and sulfur filled Chen Yan's nostrils.
What he pulled out was a firebomb that had inexplicably failed to detonate!
"【Golden Claw】is a scourge! I'll be a dog if I try to win the lottery again!"
The Blazing Fireball is made from rusty and dull debris that sticks to the tail blade of a Glavenus after it has cooled down from its red-hot state. When Glavenus grinds it with its teeth, it swallows these debris into its Flame Sac and mixes it with lava. When it spits it out, it becomes the incredibly powerful Blazing Fireball.
According to an unknown hunter, taking a bullet to the face from a cannon would have terrible consequences.
Now it was Chen Yan and his team's turn to discuss the consequences of slashing an unexploded cannon with a knife.
The air suddenly distorted, and Chen Yan and Hua Miao only had time for one last look before they were swallowed up by the violent explosion.
The half-charred wooden knife fell to the ground in a perfect arc, sparks flying from its broken blade.
The sudden explosion even made the older and younger brothers, Long and Long, prop themselves up halfway and stare at the battlefield with their mouths agape.
Then the older dragon reacted first. It roared impatiently and turned around to bite the nose of the younger dragon, the "culprit".
The younger brother, Dragon, retaliated quickly, spitting fire directly at his "real criminal," the older brother, Dragon.
The two dragons, locked in a furious battle, seemed to be accusing each other of spitting out the Calamity Cannon.
Only Harley, her face deathly pale, jumped down. Ignoring the smoke and flames, she rushed into the sea of fire and pulled Chen Yan and Hua Miao out a moment later.
Chen Yan and Hua Miao were seen hugging each other tightly. Hua Miao buried her face in Chen Yan's belly, and Chen Yan buried his face in Hua Miao's fat.
It took Harley a lot of effort to separate the inseparable human and cat.
With trembling hands, she touched Chen Yan and Hua Miao's necks, and after confirming that the hearts of these two troublesome bastards were still beating, her legs gave way and she sat down on the ground.
Then, a roar sealed the outcome of the contest.
"Chen Yan, Hua Miao! Once I've healed you both, I'm going to strangle you both with my own hands!"
