Chapter 465 An eye for an eye
The battle between the two continued for thirty-seven seconds...
After her opponent dodged a sweeping claw attack, Felicia instinctively twisted her waist and followed up with a low spinning kick.
This is a combo she often uses during training.
First, feign a fierce attack on the upper body to attract the opponent's attention. Then, use a surprise sweeping leg kick to disrupt the opponent's balance, creating an excellent opportunity to strike with the subsequent killing move.
In a previous sparring session, when this move was first used, even Riley suffered a real loss and praised her for being clever!
Therefore, when she used this move, she was already full of confidence, believing that the battle was about to come to an end!
But this time, the mysterious man did not continue to play defensively as Felicia had expected.
He did something that completely defied the laws of physics: just as Felicia's sweeping leg was about to hit him, he touched the ground with one foot and, like a spinning top, jumped into the air, his body rotating 360 degrees!
Not only did he perfectly avoid the sweeping leg, but the centrifugal force generated by the rotation also caused his raised right leg to fall vertically towards Felicia's neck like a battle axe!
Felicia's pupils suddenly contracted.
This move looks so familiar...
It was the same move she used against the person in front of her twenty seconds ago!
She used this tactic to break the mysterious man's long-planned counterattack!
Now the other party has returned it exactly as it was, and even optimized the rotation angle and the timing of the force application!
This unexpected turn of events caused Felicia to momentarily lose her composure and become distracted.
By the time she came to her senses, she had already missed the best opportunity to dodge. She could only grit her teeth, cross her arms, and raise them high above her head, taking the brunt of the powerful kick!
The next second, the mysterious man's raised heel slammed heavily onto her crossed arms as she tried to block.
The nanosuit's cushioning layer overloaded instantly, and a teeth-grinding cracking sound came from inside.
The impact pierced through the armor, causing her arm bones to hum and sending a tingling, numbing pain through her. She was forced to her knees by the impact.
However, before Felicia could recover, the mysterious man's second attack had already arrived silently!
After landing a powerful kick, the mysterious figure didn't pause for a moment. He bent his left hand into a tiger claw shape and, at an angle so bizarre it defied ergonomics, swung it towards Felicia's lower right ribs.
That's where the liver is located; a heavy blow there would be enough to render Felicia completely incapable of resisting!
The claw shape, the way the force was applied, the insidious angle of entry...
It was exactly the same feint attack that Felicia used not long ago to force back the mysterious man!
However, Felicia deliberately held back some of her strength at that time, so that she could change her tactics at any time.
Now, the mysterious man, whose combat experience far surpasses Felicia's, has discarded all feints and left only the most deadly thrust!
Left with no other option, Felicia could only brace herself with her hands on the ground and forcefully propel herself upwards, hoping to narrowly evade the fatal blow before it landed!
However, Felicia's every move seemed to have already fallen within the mysterious person's calculations.
Almost the instant Felicia dodged, the mysterious figure sprang into the air without warning. Quickly closing the distance with Felicia, before she could react, he delivered a flying kick with a tricky angle, aimed straight at her face!
That was none other than the "Cheng-style Flying Kick" that Felicia had learned from Uncle Long and had only shown to the mysterious man once!
Only now did Felicia realize...
The mysterious person who previously seemed to be suppressed by her and had no power to fight back...
He was actually deliberately feigning weakness so that he could analyze Felicia's every move up close while on the defensive and turn it into his own moves!
This left Felicia horrified and, facing a potentially fatal crisis, her body instinctively tried to lean back.
Thanks to being the beloved daughter of the legendary thief, Spirit Cat, Felicia possesses physical flexibility far exceeding that of ordinary people.
This is why, even with Felicia bent over at the waist, the kick grazed past her mask and did not directly hit her!
Even so, the biting wind from the leg still stung Felicia's face.
When Felicia landed and did several backflips to distance herself from the mysterious man, a deep, bone-revealing wound was found running from her brow to her cheek. Her beautiful face became contorted and terrifying, and the constantly oozing blood severely blurred her vision in her left eye.
Even so, the mysterious man still had no intention of letting Felicia go, and showed no mercy whatsoever. As if their positions had reversed, he launched a relentless and furious pursuit of Felicia!
The next ten seconds became a complete nightmare.
Every move the mysterious man made was one that Felicia had used before!
What's even more terrifying is that just as Felicia was getting used to the opponent's attack rhythm and preparing to counterattack, the opponent suddenly changed tactics!
After he parried Felicia's claw thrust, he didn't follow up with a sweeping leg or elbow strike like she did.
Instead, his entire body twisted like a serpent, his hands lashed out like whips, and his attack trajectory suddenly became unpredictable, targeting joints and acupoints!
This surprised Felicia once again.
During their countless sparring sessions in District 13, Felicia could tell at a glance that it was Gwen—or rather, Ghost Spider-Man—using his most common attack method!
How come that guy even knows this kind of move!
Wait a minute, what if he even learned Gwen's moves...?
He can't possibly be shooting spider webs, can he?!
The next second, as if to verify Felicia's conjecture.
After a series of cunning attacks that gradually cornered Felicia in the alley, the mysterious man suddenly flipped his wrist and, without warning, launched a beam of white, viscous substance at an astonishing speed toward Felicia's face!
Felicia tilted her head to the side, the viscous substance grazing her ear and sticking to the wall behind her, quickly solidifying into strong threads.
But this bizarre scene was enough to leave Felicia dumbfounded once again.
Seriously, man, you're really good at this?!
Including the initial, obvious attempt to imitate Spider-Man's wall-climbing ability, and the impressive learning ability just now...
Just how many more "surprises" does this guy have that she doesn't know about?!
Shock slowed her down a beat.
The mysterious man seized the fleeting opportunity and quickly raised his other hand.
But this time, the mysterious figure did not continue firing spider silk...
Instead, the palm armor opened, revealing a dark, miniature cannon muzzle.
As the energy rapidly replenished, a faint, milky-white halo began to flicker within the cannon's muzzle...
That was clearly Tony's palm-cannon technique!
Clearly, even though Tony's reaction speed was considered quite timely...
However, not long ago, some of the Iron Monger wreckage scattered in Times Square was leaked. After many twists and turns, it fell into the hands of a mysterious figure and became part of his arsenal!
