Chapter 1441 - 1456: Three Heroes Battle Hatanaka
As soon as King Kong charged in, Earth Wolf, who had suffered at the hands of Hatanaka earlier, couldn’t hold back any longer. He pounced decisively. To deal with someone like Hatanaka, such an old fox, the rhythm of the counterattack must be quick, and the three must cooperate seamlessly. Otherwise, it’s really difficult to handle this old monster because this old monster’s strength is truly amazing, undoubtedly East Japan’s number one ninja. It’s estimated to have reached the level of Earth Ninja! Just one step away from becoming a god-defying existence!
King Kong and Earth Wolf charged in, Lin Mu leaped into the air, following them quickly. Soon, the four were entangled in a battle. King Kong stood right in front of Hatanaka, naturally being the main attacking force. He swung a mighty and domineering punch, accompanied by a terrifying gust, launching wave after wave of attacks on Hatanaka.
Hatanaka wasn’t frightened by the overwhelming force of the punch and easily dodged to the side. King Kong’s punch was easily neutralized by Hatanaka. However, as Hatanaka turned, he struck with a blade — the Blood Shadow Demon Saber. King Kong had never seen such sinister skills, so he easily fell for a trick, getting his arm slashed. But for someone like King Kong, with tough skin and thick flesh, this minor knife wound was nothing. King Kong, taking advantage of the situation, raised a fist as big as a sandbag and then swung it towards Hatanaka.
Hatanaka was unsurprisingly punched away by King Kong, but the crafty old fox struck back with a blade before he flew away again, harming King Kong. Earth Wolf and Lin Mu also rushed in; of course, they couldn’t just watch King Kong get slashed by Hatanaka. They knew King Kong was crucial in dealing with Hatanaka, after all, King Kong’s ability to withstand attacks was unmatched compared to Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, making King Kong a mainstay in combat, likely receiving more damage.
To subdue Hatanaka Tairou, the three of them must cooperate seamlessly. Fighting separately makes it easy for Hatanaka to defeat them one by one!
The two exchanged a knowing look, Earth Wolf and Lin Mu simultaneously launched side attacks towards Hatanaka, aiming dangerously at his head — deadly moves indeed! Seeing this, Hatanaka had no choice but to let go of King Kong and focus on dealing with Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, or else Hatanaka was sure to be killed by Lin Mu. Moreover, among the three, Lin Mu had the strongest attack, being the leader; so he knew the principle of capturing the ringleader first.
Lin Mu and Earth Wolf’s pincer attack indeed worked, forcing Hatanaka to dodge and retreat, leaving King Kong’s lethal area.
Once King Kong regained his freedom, he rubbed the wound on his arm, bleeding but nothing problematic given King Kong’s monstrous physique.
"King Kong, are you alright?" Lin Mu asked after glancing at King Kong.
King Kong clapped his hands and said, "Boss, don’t worry, everything’s still tough, nothing at all."
"Alright." Lin Mu nodded and said, "The three of us will attack Hatanaka simultaneously from the top, middle, and bottom. King Kong, you can withstand damage. Earth Wolf and I will first coordinate to attack Hatanaka, this way, there’s a good chance of dealing with Hatanaka."
King Kong nodded after hearing this, "Don’t worry boss, I guarantee we’ll take him down."
"Okay." Lin Mu responded, then said to Earth Wolf, "Earth Wolf, the two of us will attack from left and right. Without some sort of plan, Hatanaka will easily spot flaws, making it difficult to handle him."
"Got it, boss." Earth Wolf nodded.
"Alright, let’s go together." Lin Mu stood in the center, said this, then leaped towards Hatanaka. Earth Wolf and King Kong also prepared their moves, following Lin Mu’s lead.
Soon, the battle remained intense, reaching a climax, bang bang... a series of violent, muffled sounds of grappling unfolded. One can imagine how fierce this entanglement was.
According to the plan, Lin Mu and Earth Wolf separated left and right to attack Hatanaka. When Hatanaka wanted to counter Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, King Kong would timely appear before Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, providing them support.
For King Kong, getting hit wasn’t much of an issue; after all, King Kong’s physique was inherently strong and superior, and his resistance to attacks was beyond words.
King Kong occasionally blocked Hatanaka’s attacks on Lin Mu and Earth Wolf, which greatly protected the two of them. Every time King Kong blocked, he provided Lin Mu with an opportunity to counterattack, so even though King Kong suffered some injuries, Hatanaka felt hurt too.
Moreover, Lin Mu and his group consisted of three people, whereas Hatanaka was alone. If it came down to attrition, Lin Mu’s side definitely had the advantage, with King Kong’s immense resistance to taking hits for them. Continuing in this manner was undoubtedly beneficial for Lin Mu, despite Hatanaka’s resilience, it was nowhere near King Kong’s resistance. Thus, in the end, Hatanaka would be at a disadvantage, being alone.
Even if King Kong fell, Lin Mu and Earth Wolf remained full of vitality, making it surely achievable to take down the already injured Hatanaka. After all, Hatanaka was also human, despite boasting his Blood Shadow Demon Saber, he was also flesh and blood; getting hit hurts him too, slashing a blade would bleed him, and excessive blood loss would surely lead to death.
No matter how formidable Hatanaka was, exhausting his strength would result in a miserable fate. Hence, Lin Mu and his group were not afraid of Hatanaka at all, even though none individually matched Hatanaka’s ability, as the saying goes, three cobblers with wisdom can beat a master strategist like Zhuge Liang; moreover, Lin Mu and his group were not mere cobblers but three powerful masters.
Of course, Hatanaka also realized that the situation was unfavorable for him. Being a top-notch master himself, he knew the principle of three becoming a tiger.
Thus, Hatanaka quickly responded, flashing back and retreating several steps. Since Hatanaka retreated, Lin Mu and his group naturally continued their attack.
Bang bang... the muffled sounds of battle rang out again, and Hatanaka had no choice but to focus wholeheartedly, initially a bit disdainful, but now going all out. After all, Lin Mu, Earth Wolf, and King Kong’s combined attack was truly a perfect match, doubling their strength.
Adding to this, Lin Mu’s Inner Strength had rapidly increased, forcing Hatanaka to exercise extra caution. In an instant, the figures of the four flickered in the air. Of course, this flickering wasn’t true disappearance, but rather, they were moving so fast that the naked eye couldn’t distinguish them. The only indication of their clash was the sporadic sound of dull impact.
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed, with King Kong’s figure blasted back to reality, falling towards the ground. King Kong’s massive body struck the ground, feeling akin to an earthquake.
Next was Earth Wolf, who was struck and flew into the air, crashing against a wall, then rolling onto the ground, bang bang... another bunch of earthquakelike sounds, indeed, a hefty body landing was not a trivial matter!
