Chapter 541: Pure Power
Kaito Shirogane stretched his body, as if waking up from the most sufficient sleep. His muscles and bones constantly emitted various abnormal sounds.
That kind of commotion was like firecrackers constantly exploding, and even tiny ripples constantly appeared in the air.
Jin Yue'an clutched her chest, staggered two steps to the side, and quickly took out a hemostatic spray, spraying it indiscriminately on her chest twice.
But her face revealed a joyful smile.
"Boss, you really returned..."
Kaito Shirogane didn't answer, merely turning his head to look at that huge ice pillar dozens of meters high, which had frozen the entire hotel along with that Reincarnator.
[Heavenly Frost Fist (Heavenly Frost Force, Bone-Attaching Ice Poison) Lv9 - Frosty chill annihilates the Nine Underworlds, the fist seals all things extinguishing life]
Even without energy like internal force, relying purely on physical force and his own [Qi], Kaito Shirogane could now reach the point of completely freezing a large hotel with a casual punch.
[Qi] is an extremely convenient energy. Having reached Kaito Shirogane's current realm, he could experience this even more.
[Mahakala] looked at the finally appearing Mercenary Tao with doubtful pupils. The other party exuded an inexplicable bearing.
As if amidst the ups and downs of the world, he remained unstained by a single flaw.
The Grandmaster realm of a mind still as water? No, perhaps even above that!
What level has Mercenary Tao's physical arts specialization reached? Lv9 or Lv10?!
Kaito Shirogane slightly raised his head, his eyes looking down from the corner of his eye at the "young child" inside the ice block behind whom black flames still flowed.
Subsequently, he raised three fingers, tapped them, and in the next moment, slightly bent his knees. The surrounding air seemed to blur and twist in an instant.
[Force], which should only flow within the human body, manifested in the outside world as if substantial, actually seeming to turn into some kind of force field. The dust and ice shards in the air all abruptly changed direction, falling towards the ground.
Pfft!
The air made a tearing sound. In the next instant, billowing airwaves roared over like a gale. The terrifying sonic waves made Jin Yue'an cover her ears, her face pale.
Whoosh~
Black flames ignited in front of her. Jin Yue'an was immediately alerted. Sure enough, in the next moment, Mahakala appeared from the flames. That punch that froze the hotel didn't cause him much damage.
But Mahakala didn't continue to attack Jin Yue'an. He had just clearly read Mercenary Tao's inner thoughts.
"Three minutes. Give me three minutes to finish off those people, then I'll play with you~"
Arrogant, overbearing, but also amazingly powerful.
Mercenary Tao's fist technique had advanced to a terrifying degree. When that punch came, countless ice forces almost instantly filled the hotel lobby, leaving him no time to make any moves before directly being frozen.
The reason he was completely unharmed was not because his defense was formidable, but because Mercenary Tao completely had no intention of attacking him.
Of course, Mahakala also didn't think Mercenary Tao was already stronger than himself; he naturally had his own pride too.
But undoubtedly, he had already regarded Mercenary Tao as an opponent on the same level, completely on a different plane from those people like [Great Demon] over there.
Mahakala waved his hand, signaling Jin Yue'an to retreat.
"You go. The next battle is not something a newbie of your level can watch."
Whoosh!
Like a high-speed fighter jet skimming closely past the city at extreme speed, the terrifying sonic boom directly shattered the glass on various buildings all at once.
The terrifying sonic waves, accompanied by several explosive-like hisses, directly resounded through the entire [Paradise].
The few people who were chasing that slippery Reincarnator all stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky.
Under the low, gloomy sky, a man wearing a pink robe stood above the city, his feet stepping on the void.
He bent his waist, his black long hair dancing wildly, the corners of his mouth hooked up, a teasing and cruel smile.
Wei Yixiao's pupils shrank. He would never forget this smile.
Back then, he had floated in the air, watching the other party, with this exact smile, successively kill [You Jiu] and [Basha], two companions who had taken great care of him, ultimately leading to the collapse of the Fifth Element.
Clack clack clack...
A fine trembling sound emitted from Wei Yixiao's body. [Jia Su], standing beside him, looked worriedly at this young boy. He couldn't distinguish whether Wei Yixiao's expression at this time was smiling or crying.
Similarly, he couldn't distinguish whether the continuous shuddering of his body at this time was from fear or excitement.
But in the next moment, he understood.
"Mercenary... Mercenary Tao... Mercenary Tao, Mercenary Tao, ah!"
At first, it was just a soft murmur, but the boy rapidly muttered this nightmare-like name, his voice growing louder and louder, finally erupting into a loud shout!
Dark blue flames instantly erupted from Wei Yixiao's body. In just an instant, the flesh and hair all over his body completely disappeared.
"Haah!"
In just an instant, Wei Yixiao had completely entered a state of furious rage. That powerlessness when his close friends died, and the anger of having the "peaceful" adventure life where he should have cooperated with Boss Kai and the others to conquer mission worlds one by one being completely destroyed.
At this moment, it erupted without reservation.
Boom!
The ice-blue flames instantly expanded into a terrifying fireball over a kilometer in diameter, completely swallowing the surrounding buildings and violently exploding.
The flames turned into meteors of fire, wrapping the debris of those buildings. The cars on the street also exploded completely in an instant.
This scene made the expressions of the other few people change slightly.
They more or less underestimated these two remnants from the [Fifth Element], but they didn't expect that this guy who inherited the team's legacy had actually grown to this extent.
Boom!
Amidst the huge explosion, even more fire meteors frantically coiled up like a fire dragon, crashing towards Mercenary Tao in the sky.
Kaito Shirogane watched with interest the boy exploding with incomparable anger. It was almost difficult to connect the other party with that guy who could only hover in the sky throwing javelins that day, not daring to come down and fight.
Indeed, Reincarnators are a group of interesting creatures capable of evolving in an extremely short time. And [Humans] will also undergo earth-shaking changes because of that [Heart].
The weak can become the strong, and the strong can also become weak.
Kaito Shirogane raised his right palm and lightly pressed down.
Buzz~
In the air, in an instant, countless blazing white airflows rolled backwards. That was the trace manifested by the extreme friction and flow of the intensely moving air.
The flames crashing upwards like a dark blue wild dragon instantly seemed to hit an air wall.
[Cloud-Dispersing Palm (Formless Cloud Force; Aura Piercing the Clouds) Lv9 - Impermanent momentum swallows heaven and earth, sea of clouds churning palm breaks souls]
Pfft!
Amidst the frantic collision of the two airflows, the cold steel spear burning with dark blue flames instantly tore open the palm momentum. A terrifying shockwave instantly rolled backward towards Kaito Shirogane.
Accompanied by monstrous fury, the young man whose flesh and blood had all been burned to ashes by Hellfire gripped a spear and had already arrived before Kaito Shirogane.
On the ground, Jia Su let out an exclamation. He didn't expect Wei Yixiao to have already attacked directly in front of Mercenary Tao with a single move. This was different from the besiegement plan they had discussed earlier.
"Mercenary Tao, die for me!"
A youth's fury could never be suppressed. In Kaito Shirogane's eyes, this spear approached him inch by inch, its violent force completely piercing through the air ahead of the spear tip.
When the spear tip was still a dozen meters away from him, that sharpness and the coldness of the flames already seemed to touch his body.
"Ha~ Wei Yixiao, right? You... are very interesting."
Boom!
Devastating force and flames violently thrust out. Black clouds rolled backward. In an instant, the black clouds in the sky seemed to have a hole broken in them, faintly revealing the azure sky behind the black clouds.
But Wei Yixiao felt an emptiness in his heart. This spear strike of his hit empty space.
In his hollow eye sockets, the firelight danced. In an instant, he perceived a person appearing beside him.
He immediately turned the spear shaft horizontally, thrusting towards his side, but it was still empty space.
In the next moment, a hand reached out from his other side, pressing onto his face.
So fast... How could he be so fast!
Terrifying force erupted instantly. Wei Yixiao could hardly feel the weight of his own body. The air behind him seemed to turn into an elastic liquid, squeezed out into a huge arc by his body.
In the next moment, accompanied by a pfft sound, Wei Yixiao instantly felt the sky in front of him being left far behind by himself.
The world before his eyes seemed to become a stop-motion animation. He watched Mercenary Tao maintaining the posture of throwing him out with one hand, his own four limbs uncontrollably swinging forward. In the next scene, Mercenary Tao and that dark sky were already extremely far away.
Crack~ Boom!
The sound of the bounded field shattering and the sound of him smashing into the ground appeared almost simultaneously.
The huge shockwave spanning several kilometers in the air only just erupted at this moment. Before the sound could recover, Wei Yixiao felt his back begin to shatter along with the ground.
Rumble!
Jia Su stood motionless in place. The astonishment of Wei Yixiao thrusting out his spear in a sudden attack still lingered before his eyes. In the next moment, terrifying force erupted beside him, knocking him flying.
The terrifying shockwave made the ground roll like a wave. A wave of force entered his body, his chest sinking, and a sweetness in his throat.
Boom!
Jia Su was sent flying, and the bounded field shattered in an instant.
The emaciated old man with graying temples standing in the distance also had a dull expression for a moment.
That guy from the Fifth Element erupted with power beyond his imagination, but his fragile defeat caught him even more off guard.
"Ha... haha, Mercenary Tao, you guy, worthy of being the one who became famous stepping on us [Four Demons]. I should also..."
While speaking, his body rapidly expanded, and pitch-black demonic Qi erupted from behind him.
Hum!
Golden Qi whistled in an instant, instantly piercing through his chest like a laser.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, three consecutive sounds.
The Great Demon coughed blood from his mouth and nose. Just as he was about to fall backward, a figure had already appeared behind him, his neck subsequently pinched by a hand.
Damn it, it's Mercenary Tao?!
The Great Demon's arms shook. The terrifying demonic Qi violently contracted, and then resolutely erupted.
[Explosive Demon Wave]!
Devastating demonic Qi instantly erupted from his body.
In this instant, the scalp of Jia Su, who had been blasted flying, went numb. An unprecedentedly strong premonition of death enveloped him.
On the other side, [Mai], who returned to watch the battle because Mercenary Tao appeared, also had a drastic change in expression.
A purple-black light like an aurora violently erupted, devastatingly spreading towards all directions around.
That was a terrifying ability also from the [Dragon Ball World]. Fully erupting, with the Great Demon's current strengthening level, it was enough to destroy a small half of the city.
But...
"Urgh..."
The Great Demon suddenly couldn't feel the maintenance of the demonic Qi. The Explosive Demon Wave that was about to erupt also turned into a blast of only a few meters, making a muffled explosion sound.
The Great Demon's pupils contracted violently. He saw a headless corpse fall with a thud, blood constantly spraying like a fountain.
Damn it, how could he be so strong... He couldn't possibly be this strong... Damn it...
His consciousness gradually turned black. His field of vision rolled, landing on the ground full of mud and gravel due to the explosion. By his ear, he seemed to hear the terrified screams of those so-called "allies," who subsequently began to flee in defeat.
