Chapter 264: Saint Void State Technique
There was utter shock on Cain’s face as the machete was sent away from his grasp, but as the assassin came closer, a cold smile appeared. His heartbeat grew even stronger as he pushed Second Gear to the limit, ensuring Sun Seed flowed his body with golden flames so it would not crumble under pressure.
Cain’s hands and wrists turned into blood gems as dark energy covered his extremities, and then he adopted the battle stance of Bloodflow Fury.
"CLANK!"
The sound of steel clashing against steel echoed inside the room as Cain pushed the dagger out of his path before unleashing Flowing Fist and Tempest Kick against the man covered in shadows.
Immense surprise appeared in the assassin’s eyes when Cain hit his dagger with so much strength that it nearly sent it flying away, just like he had done with Slaughter. According to his knowledge of the young man, this one did not excel in strength and definitely did not possess a top-tier melee close-range technique.
Yet, the assassin could not negate what he was seeing as the barrage of punches and kicks pushed him back toward the corner where he came from.
Cain’s eyes were full of killing intent as he pushed himself to the limit, and all his attacks were aimed at vital points. He felt his muscle tearing due to the effort but could not afford to slow down since a single breath would be enough to diminish his momentum, something the assassin could take advantage of.
Despite Cain’s speed and technique, the assassin could dodge every single attack, never once having to block, but things changed when he was finally pushed back into the corner.
Such narrow space would limit your attack speed, but Cain only changed to Crimson Knees and Elbows, making them glow as he sent a knee strike toward the assassin’s groin.
That knee could break steel walls, so the damage it could do to a person’s crotch would be no joke.
Cain was sure his attack would generate enough damage and pain to incapacitate the assassin long enough he could use Blood Revolution. That was his killing blow, and the strength he could unleash with it now was enough to kill a Peak Wave Champion.
However, just as Cain’s knee was about to land, the assassin melted into a puddle of shadows. Before Cain could overcome the shock, the assassin appeared right behind him.
