The two men's leg armor shattered simultaneously, sending sharp, jagged ceramic shards flying in all directions. Blood instantly soaked their pants legs.

Both men had put everything they had into that knee strike. So the damage they inflicted on each other was also immense. Bloodshot felt as if his entire right leg had lost all sensation. His muscles spasmed uncontrollably. Zero's right leg was similarly a bloody mess, revealing the stark white of bone. But he didn't seem to feel it, still grinning savagely as he swung his left fist towards Bloodshot's temple.

But he was still a step too slow. Bloodshot possessed an almost animalistic combat instinct. Although he hadn't undergone training, he was unexpectedly fierce in the rapidly changing world of close-quarters combat. Faced with Zero's sweeping left fist, he didn't dodge, but instead slammed a headbutt straight into him. Because the two were so close, this headbutt landed squarely on Zero's nose.

Instantly, intense pain mixed with a sourness swept through Zero's body, bringing tears to his eyes. The left fist he threw naturally came to nothing. He staggered backward, roaring in anger.

"Damn it. You rogue!"

He was right, Bloodshot's fighting style was indeed chaotic. It was more like a street thug's brawl. But the more it was like this, the more effective it was. After all, although Zero had undergone rigorous training, he rarely faced fighting styles like that of a street thug, so he naturally suffered a great disadvantage in the fight.

But it was too late to say anything now. Bloodshot, having gained the upper hand, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Despite the excruciating pain in his right leg, he still lowered his body and pounced like a leopard. While still in mid-air, he executed a great spin, his left leg lashing out towards Zero's head with a fierce wind.

Bloodshot's kick was somewhat unusual. Most people's kicks are in a forward direction, relying on the front of the calf to inflict damage. But his sweeping leg was in the opposite direction, showing the weak part of the back of his knee. It didn't look like an attack, more like offering it up for the opponent to hit.

But Zero was startled when he saw this. He retreated rapidly as if he had seen a ghost. At the same time, he raised his hands to protect his head.

And that was indeed the case. Bloodshot's move looked very unsightly, but it was an extremely fierce killing move. He had relied on this move to break the hyena's neck with a single blow when his hands were tied. Because this move was not a common striking technique in hand-to-hand combat, but a standard joint lock! As long as his leg wrapped around, the power of his whole body could be transmitted through the joints and tendons to the back of the knee, like a python strangling its prey to death! And even if the opponent tried to attack the weak back of the knee, Bloodshot's heel could quickly wrap around and kick the back of the opponent's head. It was truly extremely sinister.

However, Zero was worthy of being an appendage of the cosmic mercenaries, with extremely rich combat experience, and instantly judged the power of this move. He actually protected his neck tightly. Seeing that Bloodshot's neck strangulation was ineffective, Bloodshot's eyes burst with a cold light, not only did he not stop, but he straightened his waist, instantly changing the angle of attack from horizontal to vertical. Changing the reverse sweep into a downward strike!

Like a battle axe, it chopped towards the top of the opponent's head!

This strike condensed Bloodshot's entire body weight and inertia. Once it landed, even an iron plate would be broken. Not to mention flesh and blood? Moreover, his change of move was extremely fast, even Zero couldn't react. Seeing that he was about to be killed with one blow.

But at that moment, another extremely dangerous feeling flashed through Bloodshot's mind. He abandoned the attack almost without thinking, and suddenly burrowed under Zero. At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the position in the air where he was originally located suddenly exploded, as if a bomb had been detonated out of thin air.

It's that ability again!

Bloodshot knew without thinking that it must have been done by that guy named Heng. He was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, specializing in using this strange ability to kill people. He had attacked Bloodshot with it once at the beginning, but because Bloodshot's premonition of danger was almost animalistic, he had dodged it in time. This time was the same, if Bloodshot hadn't reacted quickly, then he would definitely have been injured by the ability to explode out of thin air. It might even endanger his life!

And the key was that the crisis had not been resolved, Zero was obviously used to cooperating with Heng. Seeing Bloodshot being forced by Heng's ability to give up the attack, he grinned and slammed his elbows towards the top of Bloodshot's head with a fierce wind. He was a hand-to-hand combat specialist, and if he landed this strike, even granite would be shattered.

The situation instantly became extremely bad! Bloodshot had just finished his previous movement, and was still in the position below Zero. He had lost even the slightest space to dodge. Seeing that he was about to be crushed by Zero's strike, his face remained expressionless. Suddenly, he reached out his left hand like lightning. Like iron tongs, he clasped Zero's elbow!

Instantly, Zero's terrifying physical power acted on Bloodshot through this hand. It actually pressed Bloodshot's joints until they cracked. But Bloodshot ignored the intense pain, flipped his wrist, and forcibly separated a gap between Zero's elbows with brute force! Immediately afterwards, his right hand pinched his fingers into a knife shape, and inserted it into the gap. He plunged it into Zero's armpit!

"Hiss!" Zero's face twisted in pain. The armpit is one of the weaknesses of human beings. No matter how strong he is, he can't exercise there. Although Bloodshot's attack could not cause fatal damage to him due to the length of his arm, the pain was extremely great. It actually hurt him so much that he almost cried out! And this was just the beginning. Seeing him lose his voice in pain, Bloodshot didn't stop at all, and directly flipped his right hand and grabbed Zero's upper arm! Both hands exerted force at the same time, and his body exploded into a great spin!

Tornado… Over-the-shoulder throw!

In an instant, Zero felt dizzy and the world spun, and his whole person was thrown out by Bloodshot like a sack. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stabilize his body. He rose into the air in a spiral. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground head first, Zero's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Heng!"

With a bang, another explosion out of thin air erupted beside Zero. Relying on the aftermath of this explosion, Zero finally broke free from the spiral state. He landed on the ground in a mess. After landing, he staggered around several times before he stood firm.

"Good fellow, really powerful!" Zero's mask had fallen off, revealing a scarred face. His face was flushed, as if he was drunk. But his eyes shot out extremely excited light.

His exchange with Bloodshot just now could be described as lightning fast, and every offensive and defensive transition was completed in an instant. Any slight mistake would be seized by the other party. Although Bloodshot was slightly better in the end, it brought Zero a very exciting feeling. The tension of life and death hanging by a thread was like a drug, making him excited.

For these mercenaries who live in combat all year round, a good opponent is so rare. Under normal circumstances, Zero and Heng only follow their master, and the cosmic mercenaries' battles are not something they can participate in, at most helping to deal with some small characters. Such battles do not bring enough passion to Zero. What's more, he is a hand-to-hand combat expert, and once the enemy's attack exceeds his ability limit, he is often the easiest type to die. So in order to protect him, the master rarely let him go to battle.

But now he met Bloodshot, a guy whose physical fitness was on par with him, and whose fighting will was as firm as steel. He was naturally excited.

It was just a pity that killing Bloodshot was his mission, otherwise he could have made friends with Bloodshot.

Bloodshot was panting heavily, the series of exchanges just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength and energy. Although these consumptions were nothing to him, he had to seize any time to recover. At the same time, he fully felt the movement around him, vigilant against the Heng hidden in the dark.

If Zero was a powerful opponent, then Heng could not be described as powerful. That was simply terrifying. This guy hidden in the darkness was like a poisonous snake, ready to rush out and bite you. Moreover, the explosion caused by this guy did not know what ability it was, it seemed to appear anywhere, and its power was amazing.

In the silent street, Bloodshot and Zero were both recovering quickly. But the calm time was very short. Just as a stone slipped from the roof next to him, the two moved at the same time. Like two leaping leopards, the two men's pounce was strikingly similar! In just an instant, they were entangled together.

In an instant, the wind pressure of fists and feet tore the air, and a dense popping sound rang out between the two. Both were good at hand-to-hand combat, and their movements were extremely fast, mutually attacking and defending in a small, close-fitting space. Every punch hit the flesh, and it was extremely dangerous.

This battle was slightly different from the one just now, it seemed that in order to make a quick decision, the two gave up most of their defenses at the same time, Zero hit Bloodshot's shoulder at the beginning, but Bloodshot turned around and punched him in the abdomen. Zero arched up like a shrimp. But while being injured, he grabbed Bloodshot tightly and punched him in the temple. Bloodshot took this blow head-on, turned his head and slammed a headbutt into his face.

Blood splattered between the two! In just a moment, the two were dyed into blood men. But at this moment, no one was willing to give up, and they were both attacking each other with all their strength. They were fighting, fighting physical strength, fighting will, fighting ferocity! Whoever couldn't hold on first would fall, at this time, skills were no longer important, when the battle entered this stage, all they needed was perseverance and bloodiness!

On this point, even if Zero was a rigorously trained mercenary appendage, he was more than a notch inferior compared to Bloodshot.

So he lost! He fell in the last attack. The two men hit each other's temples at the same time. Bloodshot just shook, but Zero passed out directly. But at the same time as he passed out, his right hand grabbed Bloodshot's arm tightly!

Even in a coma, his mouth still revealed a victorious smile.

A strong wave surged in the air, and Heng finally made his move at this time...
