678: Chapter 322: Seven Days 678: Chapter 322: Seven Days It has been seven days since the battle between Hiroshi Matsushima and Amilcare Zhao.
Seven days ago, Amilcare, the Lord of Pine Eagle City, launched an attack from the Pine Eagle Building, landed in the district of martial arts schools, and engaged in combat with Hiroshi Matsushima.
According to most people’s original expectations, this should have been an overwhelming victory.
A Lord, or rather, a Martial Artist with the official position of “high-level military officer,” has a chasm-like gap in prosthetic body performance compared to others.
Besides, Hiroshi Matsushima did not practice Internal thods, only External Sect, and also lacked armant.
Under normal circumstances, the Lord should have been able to capture this anti-humanity rebel in just a few moves and hang him at the entrance of the Pine Eagle Building for public display.
However, the final outco surprised everyone.
Hiroshi Matsushima fought a fierce battle with a Lord from the First Heavenly Layer, with several martial arts schools in the vicinity suffering collateral damage and being razed to the ground.
But it seed that the Lord did not manage to kill Hiroshi Matsushima.
Then, four days later.
A video recording surfaced on the internet.
It was from the first-person view of a Martial Artist fighting Amilcare Zhao.
The recording devices were the prosthetic eye and personal equipnt of a certain Martial Artist.
From the surrounding environnt, this was indeed the battle between Hiroshi Matsushima and Amilcare Zhao.
During the fight, Hiroshi Matsushima, through close combat, damaged two of Amilcare Zhao’s six prosthetic eyes and likely also disrupted a sonar reception device, creating a sensory blind spot.
Finally, after detonating the Iron Dust, he used this blind spot to successfully enter the underground passageways.
Near Pine Eagle City, there is a large underground river.
This underground river, along with ancient subterranean tracks, abandoned underground buildings, and spaces privately excavated over the last few decades, form a complex area.
Highly modified cybernetically enhanced people shun this underground area due to the inconvenience of charging, while low-modification Benchmark n might face the danger of oxygen deficiency, so it is rarely visited, and the governnt has not paid much attention to it in the past.
And Amilcare Zhao was forced to stop here.
His prosthetic body was too large to directly enter such a narrow space.
Moreover, even a prosthetic body of the First Heavenly Layer would be in a bad situation if buried under heavy rocks with no space to exert force.
The Lord could not rule out the possibility that “this is a trap set for .”
Thus, Hiroshi Matsushima successfully escaped.
It is said that at the sa ti this data appeared on the internet, Amilcare Zhao mobilized again.
A great commotion seed to have occurred again in so part of the city.
Perhaps it was the second battle between Hiroshi Matsushima and the Lord.
By that ti, Ai Tielang, along with other Heroes, had already t up with the Martial Artists who had fled the Iron Block Style Dojo.
The Martial Artists of the Iron Block Style Dojo, led by the Forr Pavilion Master, Lei Daye, attempted to break out towards the edge of Pine Eagle City, hoping to enter the Wilderness before everyone else.
But Ai Tielang managed to intercept them.
According to Ai Tielang’s deduction, the Protectors had already built a blockade around the city’s edge.
After all, the Protectors still have the responsibility to ensure the safety of human life within their area of duty.
Although they will not be held accountable for involuntarily affecting civilians while combating anti-humanity Heroes, using heavy weaponry in residential areas when not necessary is still prohibited.
But it is different at the edge of the city.
Such a group of External Martial Artists without basic firewalls, not carrying any heavy weaponry, rushing towards the Protectors’ already established fire base, the outco is self-evident.
If it were a Fad Hero, perhaps they could stealthily approach and then use close combat to break through the defense lines.
But these Martial Artists from the schools do not have such knowledge.
After much effort, Ai Tielang finally gained the trust of these Martial Artists from the dojos.
“`
Of course, martial artists from the martial arts school naturally didn’t trust these heroes.
The reason Iron Block Style Dojo was investigated was because of its involvent with heroes—at least, that was the excuse Young Second Master Zhao had found—and then, to their surprise, several heroes indeed erged from among their own classmates.
So martial artists couldn’t help but have so reservations.
But at this mont, they had no choice.
Since that day, Pine Eagle City had been completely locked down.
No one inside could get out, and no one outside could get in.
The mont soone appeared in the wilderness, they’d be hit by a tactical missile.
The Protector’s army completely surrounded the entire city.
Inside the city, many mobile cavalry disguised their identities, singling out heroes and “potential heroes” among the crowds.
The Lord attempted to divide the entire city into many blocks, conducting a systematic search step by step.
At the sa ti, he was arranging manpower to destroy the underground areas of Pine Eagle City.
However, the only thing that concerned him was the pressure from the Scientific Knight Order.
There was a subterranean river beneath Pine Eagle City.
To destroy such a “potentially valuable geographic or geological phenonon,” one needed the endorsent of the Scientific Knight Order specializing in planetary physics.
With this obstacle, Old Master Zhao couldn’t freely demolish the entire underground area.
Now, no one knew where Hiroshi Matsushima was.
Ti shifted to the present, Yuki and Lei Daye were strolling through the streets, eting up with Liu Ri once again before heading into the underground area.
After navigating a complicated route, the trio returned to a temporary hideout.
Panic seed quite happy recently.
When she saw Yuki, she clapped her hands as a greeting.
Yuki had no energy to play with the little girl and simply patted her head before leaning against the ground to recharge.
Ai Tielang and a few martial artists from the school were gathered around, studying a video.
Liu Ri began searching for resources online, hoping to find new technological materials to create useful armants.
Ai Tielang said, “Astonishing, truly astonishing…
Who knew one could fight like this.
Pure External Martial Studies, and still able to achieve such a record under such a disadvantage for prosthetic bodies.”
“After all, cybernetically enhanced people always have their weak spots,” Lei Daye said.
“The Martial Ancestor once faced an enemy whose prosthetic performance was several tis inferior to his own and killed the enemy with a frontal blow of his internal force—it’s about the sa principle.”
In the video, Hiroshi Matsushima closed in on Amilcare.
Hiroshi Matsushima’s prosthetic body was only two ters, while Amilcare’s exceeded three ters.
Amilcare had superior strength, speed, and explosiveness compared to Hiroshi Matsushima.
However, Hiroshi Matsushima chose to fight close to Amilcare, always maintaining a limb’s distance to anchor himself to Amilcare’s side, preventing Amilcare from utilizing the full capabilities of his prosthetic body.
This was Hiroshi Matsushima’s only advantage—due to his prosthetic body being lighter, he had less inertia and could change speeds more flexibly.
Hiroshi Matsushima made full use of this sole advantage.
He stuck to his enemy.
No matter how weak his punch was, there was always a vulnerable spot on the enemy’s body.
A bit of internal force penetrating the area where the brain was located was enough to cause discomfort.
This was the essence of how the Martial Ancestor killed an enemy whose prosthetic body was several tis more powerful with a frontal blow.
Hiroshi Matsushima used gunpowder to blast and damage parts of Amilcare’s armor.
Hiroshi Matsushima guessed the location of Amilcare’s prosthetic eye or other sensory prostheses, and then targeted them with his strikes.
It was the epito of textbook combat.
