Chapter 142.2 Dual Card (Part2)

[Reputation points from Luke Cage +125]

"What?!"

Hearing Shishio's words, a look of surprise appeared on Cage's face. Then, he saw Shishio raise up the blade in his hand. The originally thin body, wrapped in bandages, started to swell as the muscles expanded. The bandages on his body snapped apart one by one, revealing the charred skin under it.

"Die! Infinity Blade Whirling Air!"

Sensing Cage's momentary lapse of concentration, Shishio quickly approached. The blade in his hand flared up into a blazing fire and landed as a slashing blow on Cage's invulnerable body.

Cage could clearly feel that the power coming from Shishio's blade was even greater than before. The speed of the blade was also faster than before. He tried to raise his hand and wave his arms to block the slashes, but it was obviously a useless move.

Shishio's momentum was beyond his reaction speed.

For a while, Cage, who could still fight him before, was now in a passive position.

Under the 'dual card' mode, the clone [Makoto Shishio] couldn't last, so Ryan couldn't drag the battle out any longer.

He ordered [Makoto Shishio] to end the battle as quickly as possible. In the next instant, he saw the clone swing his red flaming blade down toward Cage.

"Blazing Soul!"

The huge force coming from the sword directly sent Cage's huge body flying. At the same time, the flames set fire to everything around him, enveloping him in flames.

"Cage!"

Noticing the scene where Shishio sent Cage flying into the air, the expressions of the Defenders suddenly changed. The power of the Iron Fist emerged from Danny's hand, and he knocked down a Russian thug. He then turned around and charged toward Shishio. He felt that he had been too complacent. Seeing the two face-offs earlier, he had subconsciously overlooked his opponent's status as a member of Jiu You.

"Right on time."

Seeing Iron Fist rushing towards him, Shishio opened his mouth to reveal an ominous smile.

Right now, he didn't have much time, so naturally, Ryan was hoping to get some more points to make up for his expenses.

With a grin, Shishio swung the sharp sword in his hand. It scraped the ground and sparked as he charged toward Danny.

"Last Secret Sword: Fire Bearing Spirit God!"

As Shishio's voice fell, a large amount of flames emerged from the sword. Facing the approaching flames, Danny's expression changed. He quickly changed his stance while facing the approaching flames.

He didn't have a powerful body like Cage, which was capable of ignoring fire attacks.

"Why are you dodging? Why? Why...?"

Wielding the sharp blade in his hand, Shishio saw that Iron Fist was constantly evading. The laughter from his mouth grew sharper and sharper.

"Since you don't want to fight me head-on, why don't you just go back to the hell Lord Godless had sent you to? "

Hearing Shishio mention Lord Godless, Danny's expression subconsciously changed for a moment. There was a slight fluster in the footwork he used to avoid him. However, Shishio directly caught his flaw and raised his blade to cut him down.

If this slash came down, even if Danny didn't die, he would definitely lose his ability to fight.

Clank --

However, at this critical moment, Matt wielded his guide stick to block the slash with great difficulty.

Although he successfully blocked Shishio, the force from the sharp blade was clearly more than Matt could bear. He stepped backwards to defuse the force of the attack and raised his hand to touch his severed guide stick with a stony expression. When Shishio and Cage were fighting, he couldn't tell, but now that he had faced him personally, he realised how terrifying the opponent's flaming sword technique was.

Without Cage's powerful defence, a single slash would have been enough to inflict fatal damage.

"Come on, all of you. Killing you all one by one is just a waste of time."

Looking at Matt, Shishio waved his katana while laughing maniacally.

Boom --

At that moment, a huge billboard came flying from a distance and struck Shishio's figure.

"What happened?"

Jessica flew over, looked at Cage, who fell not far away, then turned her head and asked Matt and the others.

Jessica was a little confused as to how the situation had changed so drastically all of a sudden when she had only busy taking care of Bullseye for a short while.

"He's more powerful than we thought. Danny replied in a sombre tone, "He knocked Cage down."

"It seems like that guy wasn't lying before." Thinking of the other party's previous words, Jessica couldn't help but frown.

Boom --

Wielding the sharp blade in his hands, Shishio slashed the billboard into pieces. The good thing was that by stacking the two cards, Shishio's defence had been given a huge boost, and he wasn't as troubled as he was in the previous battle.

"Hahahaha, sure enough, Kingpin is right. You're indeed good opponents. I'll show some respect and kill you all one by one." Screaming insane words from his mouth, Shishio charged toward Matt and the others once again.

"You're a bit late."

On the other side, Ryan twirled his revolver and fired backwards without looking over his shoulder. The flying bullet ricocheted off a wall and killed a mafia member with unerring accuracy. His attention was focused on controlling his [Makoto Shishio] clone. Through the subtle changes in his chakra, he could feel that [Makoto Shishio], in its dual card state, was reaching the limit of what the clone could sustain.

Matt raised his hand and used the upper half of his guide stick to block the slash. Matt gritted his teeth and endured the powerful blow from Shishio. The hot flames from the sharp blade kept licking his skin. Ignoring the scorching smell at the tip of his nose, Matt immediately shouted, "Now!"

At Matt's command, from behind him, Danny swung his Iron Fist and dealt a vicious blow to Shishio.

"What?!"

With a cry of surprise on his lips, Shishio hastily withdrew his katana in an attempt to block Iron Fist's attack.

However, since Lord Godless broke his arm, Danny had obviously gained a better understanding of the Iron Fist's power. The katana in Shishio's hands shattered in the glow of the brilliant light from the golden fist. At the same time, the force coming from the katana sent him flying away.

Stopping what he was doing, Ryan frowned but quickly returned to his battle-ready appearance.

Just a moment ago, Iron Fist's power almost made the clone unsustainable.

Holding up his body with the broken sword, Shishio looked at the broken blade in his hand and looked up at Matt and the others. He hung his head and let out an ear-piercing laugh, "So, I'm the weak one ..."

While laughing, [Makoto Shishio] unleashed the power of his Last Secret Sword: Fire Bearing Spirit God. But this time, he didn't attack Matt and the others. Instead, he used it on himself. The blazing fire from the broken katana quickly enveloped the clone. The tattered bandages left on his body became the perfect fire starter.

In the fire, Shishio stood up and shouted with a maniacal grin, "The weak have no value in existing."
