Chapter 312 Captain America VS Winter Soldier

[Temporarily accepting 307]

The winter warrior trudged heavily, his footsteps echoing across the cold ground with a dull thud, like the drumbeats of death!

The tall and muscular figure, with an unstoppable momentum, instantly bridged the distance between them!

There was no tactical evasion.

There was no declaration of death.

There wasn't even a single instinctive battle cry to bolster their courage.

Witnessing the death of his own kind, in order to gain the power to defeat his target, the Winter Soldier decisively abandoned all superfluous and useless emotions and actions, completely transforming into a cold, humanoid weapon.

As the distance between them closed, almost the instant Steve entered the attack range, the Winter Soldier raised his shield, which he held tightly in his hands, and with his arms raised high, it drew a dazzling, cold light in the dim, flickering lamplight.

With immense force, the shield, which was meant for defense, was transformed into a sharp blade capable of cutting through metal, and it was slashed down fiercely towards Steve's head!

Meanwhile, Steve's nanosuit, even though it was equipped with the latest arc reactor and had an abundant energy source, just like Tony's suit, was currently overheating due to the previous full-power output.

This means that, let alone conjuring up weapons like guns and cannons to instantly kill this courageous Winter Soldier with a single shot...

For a short time, the nanotech suit couldn't even activate its most basic transformation function. It could only function as a suit, relying on its own materials to provide Steve with the most basic defensive capabilities.

But thankfully...

Steve earned the title of "Perfect Soldier" through his own genuine skills!

Steve's extensive combat experience allows him to react with lightning speed!

The instant the shield slammed down, Steve, using his eyes to estimate the time it would take for the Winter Soldier's attack to hit, slid in without hesitation.

With his scalp almost touching the falling shield, he could clearly feel the terrifying force of the shield shattering metal and breaking gold as it slammed heavily onto the floor and passed right between the Winter Soldier's legs!

"boom!"

The next second, the shield, hurtling down at high speed, slammed heavily onto the ground where Steve had just been standing, accompanied by a dull thud! Sparks flew, and a shallow crater was punched into the hard alloy floor!

The front half of the shield was deeply embedded in the floor. Judging from its appearance, it would be difficult to pull it out anytime soon!

Of course, Steve was willing to put himself in danger by taking this high-risk evasion tactic not only to catch the Winter Soldier off guard...

More importantly, it was to pick up from the cold ground the special alloy blade that had been clattered to the ground not long ago when its master died—a blade that originally belonged to one of the other four Winter Warriors!

Even as he gripped the hilt of his knife, Steve, without rushing to his feet, decisively swung his blade in a counterattack. Taking advantage of his opponent's momentary stiffness from exerting all his strength, Steve, relying on his powerful core strength, twisted his waist and slashed horizontally towards the Winter Soldier's ankle!

However, this risky strike ultimately missed its mark.

It's not that Steve misjudged the situation, causing his body to slide along the ground beyond the attack range of the alloy blade when he swung it back to counterattack...

On the contrary, the moment the attack missed, the Winter Soldier keenly sensed the impending danger.

That's why, without the slightest hesitation, the Winter Soldier, who was already gripping his shield with both hands, decisively pushed off the ground for leverage. He used the shield, which was deeply embedded in the floor, as a fulcrum to abruptly stand upside down after his powerful strike.

With this move, he not only dodged Steve's slash, but also naturally rolled 180 degrees upside down, briefly gathering his strength. Then, his legs, like powerful battle axes, stomped down on Steve, who was lying on the ground, under the influence of gravity!
