Chapter 375: Genius
Bang!
The concrete floor let out a muffled sound. [Charanko] took the initiative, appearing quickly in front of Kaito Shirogane. A punch swept from the side. Kaito tilted his head slightly, and the not-so-powerful force missed by his ear.
Charanko's strength, in Kaito's view, was probably close to [Average] tier Taijutsu-side Reincarnators, with speed and strength approaching the First Limit. The only commendable thing was the unique 'rhythm' between his punches.
That was a martial arts system completely different from the Dragon Ball world.
Charanko missed a punch and suddenly felt a bit panicked. This newcomer exuded a chilling aura all over. The posture of dodging his attack just now was completely the stance of those martial arts masters, as if seeing through his attack completely.
Using inertia, Charanko twisted his body. A kick swept from high up with the sound of wind. The fist intent of [Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist] was like flowing water. Although appearing soft and defensive on the surface, every move borrowed the flow to become faster and sharper. It was a very intense killing fist art.
With fist intent flowing on his ankle, he kicked towards the back of the opponent's head. But the opponent unexpectedly didn't even look, taking a step back and making Charanko miss completely.
Kaito strolled leisurely. Whether speed or strength, Charanko posed no threat to him at all. He dodged the attack and raised his foot just right to stomp [Sage], who lifted his head, back into the ground.
His control of force was far superior to Charanko. The force stomping Sage into the ground conducted through the concrete, causing a fist-sized bulge to appear on the ground and sweep towards Charanko like a wave.
Hum~
Charanko watched the concrete ground crack inch by inch and roll towards him, shocked, retreating constantly.
Suddenly, a hand pressed on his shoulder, followed by a stomp.
Bang!
A force appeared instantly by Charanko's feet and swept a thousand meters around.
The ground of this shattered block completely crumbled in an instant. The force Kaito stomped out was completely eliminated. He tapped his toes lightly, floating backward along the exploding ground in that instant.
Landing from the air lightly like a crane.
[Bang] saw Kaito's performance, a hint of surprise appearing in his cold and hard expression.
He casually threw a huge mechanical head under a tree.
That blue-and-white painted mecha head, over three meters tall, still sparked with electricity after being thrown down by Bang.
Only a pool of blood was seen in the cockpit position. The pilot was probably blown up along with the mecha by Bang's punch.
"Stand back, Charanko. This guy isn't someone you can deal with."
Bang's voice was cold and hard, but there was a look of relief in his eyes.
This kid Charanko, although indeed of average aptitude, always had a sincere heart.
Bang was shirtless. His muscles, which should have atrophied with age, appeared distinct as if carved by a knife and axe.
His silver-white hair showed no signs of falling out. He shook his neck, walking towards Kaito.
"You are also a martial artist."
"Can you tell me your master's name, young man..."
That magical rhythm gathered around again with Bang's movements. The air moved without wind; intense oppression began to emanate.
Bang was undoubtedly a [Fierce] tier powerhouse. Although not showing killing intent at this moment, just revealing hostility brought Kaito oppression far exceeding Sage and the others.
Sage, whose skull was concussed by the force conducted from Bang's stomp just now, began to tremble constantly on the ground. This life was coming to an end.
And because of this slow feeling of impending death, he was fully experiencing the terror of all bodily organs stopping work bit by bit as a human approached death.
Incontinence began; breathing was lost; blood oxygen couldn't be supplied to the brain; consciousness became blurred. Only that pain and fear still followed like a shadow.
"Mr. Bang, this guy will resurrect in about fifteen seconds. Are you ready?"
Boom!
Crimson Conqueror's Haki erupted directly. Charanko's eyes went white, swaying twice. Bang patted his shoulder, and Charanko came back to his senses, retreating with a pale expression.
In his eyes, the man who just dodged his attack at this moment was like the center of a storm. Momentum like a category 12 hurricane impacted everyone indiscriminately with an attitude of overwhelming everyone.
He turned his head, seeing those panicked passersby outside the block falling one by one. In the blink of an eye, within a radius of several thousand meters, probably only his teacher remained standing.
His legs trembling, he sat down against the wall.
What is this?!
Superpower?!
Charanko had never heard of it. Even though that group just now used various strange abilities, none could give him such a big shock.
Bang's silver-white hair was constantly blown in the violent momentum. His body surface stung slightly, as if countless fine red-black lightning bolts were striking him continuously.
Momentum actually materialized and attacked me...
He looked at the opponent's wildly dancing black hair, understanding the opponent's meaning, but spoke as if pretending not to know.
"What do you want this old man to prepare?"
Bang!
The air exploded like a cannonball by his ear. In the place where the opponent stood in Bang's eyes, the gravel shattered instantly, scattering in all directions like slow motion.
And by his ear, the air howled like an evil ghost. A fist broke through the air, sonic boom cloud exploding by his ear.
A smile bloomed at the corner of Bang's mouth. His figure changed instantly like lightning. His right hand rose vertically, blocking in front of that exploding fist.
Water-like fist intent wrapped the attack, then slashed downward abruptly.
Bang!
Kaito's cheek tilted. The whole person was knocked flying by a terrible force.
He stepped repeatedly in the air. The white trail clouds in the air were as clear as brake marks.
Without waiting for inertia to disappear, he jumped directly in the air, disappearing like a phantom.
Bang's eyes trembled, failing to capture the opponent's trace.
But he didn't panic, standing still in place.
In the next moment, a gale rose in front of him. A figure appeared from the wind.
Countless fist shadows swept over.
Bang intended to take the attack, but his heart suddenly tightened. Some strong premonition of danger appeared. He exerted force under his feet again.
Bang!
The ground exploded. He retreated a hundred meters backward.
Kaito watched the pitch-black Shinra Death Intent on his fist retreat, opening his eyes and eyebrows.
Interesting...
At Bang's level, even without Observation Haki, he already has such strong precognition for this kind of danger?
Kaito tapped his feet again, flashing straight towards Bang. This time, he didn't use the characteristic of [Demon in the Wind] to turn into wind, but rushed over directly.
Hands shaking slightly, a peculiar rhythm appeared. Water-like fist intent appeared on his fists in an instant.
"This is..."
Bang's pupils contracted. He subconsciously tilted his head, dodging this punch. But Kaito used the missed punch to kick from behind Bang.
On that heel, the water fist intent was even more intense, almost tearing the air.
This is really Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!
He was somewhat shocked but still raised his left hand. Fist intent surged, slashing the opponent's attack away instantly, and countered with inconceivable speed backhandedly.
The smile at the corner of Kaito's mouth could no longer be concealed. As his foot was slashed away, his body spun violently, and the other foot countered with equally inconceivable speed.
Bang!
Two impact sounds appeared simultaneously.
Kaito was knocked flying a hundred meters.
But Bang also slid backward dozens of meters simultaneously.
This is... [Water Stream Formation]?!
This technique is the essence of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist that Charanko has yet to master. The opponent mastered it just by seeing me use it once?!
