The answer is self-evident.
That initial passion and pride for martial arts would never allow him to abandon his dignity as a human being.
“KING…”
The hero raised his head, now with only one eye remaining, and for the first time, his voice was devoid of arrogance and tyranny, containing only the final plea of a martial artist.
"I chose the wrong path, and there's no turning back... As someone who once shared the same path, could you... use your strongest martial art to send me off?"
Lin Mo looked at him quietly, and in the other man's one cloudy eye, he saw the final awakening of a lost soul.
He nodded slowly.
"as you wish."
This is not only the end of an enemy, but also a sign of respect for a former martial artist.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, and his entire aura suddenly changed.
The previous domineering and overwhelming pressure quietly faded away, replaced by a clear and pure state of returning to simplicity and merging with all things in heaven and earth.
Under the impetus of [Martial Arts Extreme], the three basic attributes within his body began to resonate and circulate in an incomparably profound way, and finally merge into one.
He slowly raised his right fist.
This movement is very basic, seemingly just a normal punching start.
However, in Haojie's perception, the whole world had changed.
The wind stopped, the dust stopped moving, and even the passage of time seemed to slow down incredibly.
KING's figure seemed to have become the center of the world.
His slowly raised fist, though devoid of any light, shone brighter than the sun in the hero's perception.
That fist seemed to contain everything about martial arts—beginning, process, and end; fierceness, gentleness, movement, stillness… all opposing yet unified concepts were perfectly integrated into it.
"Martial Arts·Extreme Intent..."
In the hero's single eye, the approaching fist was reflected. He could not sense any killing intent, only the supreme martial arts.
His consciousness was clearer than ever before at this moment, as if he could see the most magnificent scenery at the end of the martial arts path.
"This is... the real..."
His consciousness remained frozen at that moment forever.
Lin Mo's voice rang out in the silence, ethereal yet majestic.
"Martial arts..."
"—Return to the Origin".
[By Hao Jie's awakening and acceptance, Energy Points +9000!]
At the same time, a one-eyed flying object, attracted by the huge energy fluctuations in the area, silently peeked out from behind the ruins of a collapsed building.
This is one of the countless clones that Big Eyes uses to monitor the battlefield and gather intelligence.
It was cautious by nature, so it carefully cast its gaze into the distance, trying to figure out which official had caused such a huge commotion.
Then, it saw something that it found unbelievable.
At the site of the collapsed building, the injured and dying cadres lay there as if resigned to their fate.
Opposite him stood the legendary "strongest man on earth," King, whose body was spotless, showing no trace of battle.
This stark contrast allowed the surveillance clone to instantly make a preliminary judgment:
The heroes suffered an overwhelming defeat!
The next second, KING slowly raised his right hand.
In the clone's eyes, the whole world seemed to slow down, with strange ghosting and delays appearing on the screen, undoubtedly caused by some incomprehensible force interfering with it!
All it could see was that seemingly ordinary fist touching the hero's body.
Subsequently, Gouketsu's monstrous body, which was as hard as superalloy, became as fragile as tofu when it came into contact with that fist.
Starting from the point where the fist struck the chest, an annihilating force spread outwards.
First the chest, then the massive torso, the thick limbs, the ferocious head…
Everything vanished from this world under the influence of that "return to the origin" will.
It all happened in less than a second.
One second the Dragon-level monster Gouketsu was still there, the next second he was nothing but a pile of fragments.
Only the man who slowly withdrew his fist remained in place.
The clone subconsciously looked past KING and towards Haojie's back.
It was a ravine that started from KING's feet and stretched into the distance of the city, with no end in sight!
This...this is not the aftermath of a battle at all!
This was merely collateral damage caused by the force of the punch!
The surveillance clone froze; the extreme fear, transmitted through the mental link, caused even the original body, located underground, to pause.
Just then, the man who had been slowly withdrawing his fist seemed to sense something and turned around.
His gaze pierced through hundreds of meters, locking onto the watcher hiding behind the ruins with unparalleled precision.
The Monster Association, at its deepest point.
Within the vast underground space, the large, piercing eye that sat at the core suddenly trembled.
The extreme fear emanating from that clone, and the last scene before the hero was completely erased, were etched deeply into its mind.
"The hero's... vital signs... have completely disappeared..."
The enormous, single eye of the Great Eyes stared intently at the last frame before the clone was destroyed—
The image of KING retracting his fist, and the terrifying trajectory that split the city in two, seemingly tearing even the sky apart.
Its brain was working frantically, analyzing everything that had just happened.
"This is terrifying... Just a pure... physical attack... can have such power?"
This conclusion made it feel even more worried than when facing the tornado's superpowers.
In its plan, Haojie is an ace capable of suppressing multiple S-class heroes, and is definitely a strong figure among the executives.
Even if we were to lose, it should have been a momentous, earth-shattering battle. It's absolutely impossible... absolutely impossible for it to end like this...
This word emerged from its mind.
Yes, within the limited scope of its observations, the entire process is as follows: KING appears, throws a punch, and the hero disappears.
With a single strike, he completely wiped out this terrifyingly powerful hero from the world.
"Reassessment... We must reassess the threat level of KING, the sixth-ranked S-class NPC!"
The voice that Big Eyes had faked disappeared, and in its place came the voice of its true self—Sykes.
"Threat level... incalculable!"
"Damn it, why are there only vague descriptions like 'battle record unknown' and 'strongest on Earth' in the association's records about such an existence?"
"This is not a power that a human should possess! What exactly is it...?"
As the murmur, filled with fear and confusion, faded away, the vast underground space returned to silence once more.
Chapter 144 Godhood Level 108 - Grandpa Exploding Mountain!
The venue for the martial arts tournament.
The once bustling arena is now a huge, rubble-filled pit.
The stands were a mess, littered with the chaos left behind by the panicked spectators as they fled.
The silence was ripped apart by a rough laugh.
"Hahaha... Hahahaha! Did you see that? The water dragon! This is power! This is a realm you can never reach!"
An unusually large man was stomping hard on the water dragon's chest with one foot.
He is one of the top contenders in this tournament, a martial artist of the "Dark Hell Style"—Bakuzan.
But at this moment, he can no longer be fully called a human being.
The freak cells caused his strength to increase wildly, causing his muscles to burst to several times their original size, and his height to rise to a terrifying ten meters.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his face wore a manic smile caused by a sudden surge of power.
At his feet lay a dragon covered in blood, its limbs twisted in an unnatural position, clearly broken.
His once pristine martial arts uniform was now torn and stained with blood and dust.
He tried to struggle, but the weight of the foot on his chest made it incredibly difficult for him to even breathe.
"Cough...cough..."
Shuilong coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood with difficulty. He looked at his former opponent, a fellow martial artist, with disdain and contempt in his eyes.
"You...you traitor...you scum who betrayed humanity..."
"Scoundrel?!"
Baoshan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He suddenly stomped on the water dragon's breastbone, making a crisp "crunch" sound.
"Ahhh!" The excruciating pain caused Shuilong to let out a muffled groan.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully! It's a water dragon!"
Bakuzan laughed wildly, "I am not a scumbag! I am an evolved being! I am a new kind of human who surpasses you mortals! I possess—absolute power!"
He opened his arms in ecstasy, feeling an unprecedented surge of power within his body.
"What moves, what techniques, are all bullshit in the face of this power! Your so-called 'Dark Body Fist' is nothing but child's play in front of me!"
Baoshan's arrogance was not without reason.
After consuming the monster cells, his already strong body underwent a mutation.
