Chapter 614: One Punch Fang Mo, maybe he's the Protagonist?



Chapter 614: One Punch Fang Mo, maybe he's the Protagonist?

"So, how should we divide the work?"

Facing the situation at hand, Fang Mo also turned his head and asked Xiao Yao beside him, "Should we both go together, or should I handle them alone?"

"You go ahead."

As Xiao Yao spoke, she casually pulled out a white high-tech rifle: "If there are any you miss, I'll help finish them off."

"…Alright then."

Fang Mo actually wanted to say that he wouldn't miss any, but then thought it unnecessary.

After all, it's rare for this little guy to come out, so he might as well treat it as playing along with her. Thinking this, Fang Mo walked forward, effortlessly jumped onto the fighting ring, and faced the monster not far away.

At this moment, Bakuzan was still tormenting Suiryu beneath him.

Although the opponent was already unconscious, Bakuzan, in his monstrous form, let all the evil within him burst forth, with no intention of sparing his opponent.

Because of this.

Bakuzan didn't notice Fang Mo immediately.

But it was different for Gouketsu. Although he looked a bit like a darkened, giant fighter, he still retained some monstrous traits, such as his head, which was completely covered by a dark curtain where his eyes should have been, except now the curtain sprouted five vertical monster eyes that spun chaotically.

Thanks to these monster eyes, Gouketsu's observational abilities were exceptionally strong.

Just as Fang Mo was getting up to jump onto the ring, one of Gouketsu's eyes immediately noticed him.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Gouketsu cross his arms, he didn't seem to take Fang Mo very seriously: "I've felt like some little bug has been watching since earlier… is it you? The S-class hero from the Hero Association, I thought you had run away."

"That look… kind of resembles that character from Street Fighter."

However, faced with Gouketsu's provocation, Fang Mo just smiled: "But it seems your strength is just so-so. Come on, I'll let you have the first move."

"Are you looking down on me?"

Upon hearing this, Gouketsu wasn't angry: "Heh, interesting, this is my first time seeing an S-class hero from the Hero Association. Gyoro Gyoro said even the executives of the Monster Association shouldn't underestimate you, so let me test you personally…"

Before Gouketsu could finish speaking.

Suddenly a figure burst from his feet, charging straight at Fang Mo.

This wasn't someone else but the very Choze who had been slapped into the wall by Fang Mo earlier, and now completed his transformation into a monster, a humanoid beast with horns and a body covered in scales.

"You dare to slap me into the wall before!"

Choze, full of rage and murderous intent, threw a punch at Fang Mo: "Fear me now, I've become a monster surpassing all, I will kill you with my own hands!"

However, as this opponent charged ferociously.

Fang Mo just glanced at him, then casually raised his hand and punched.

With a loud 'bang', Choze's body exploded like a burst balloon, turning into a pile of mush, only a horn flew back the way it came and bounced a few times to land at Gouketsu's feet.

"What... what!?"

Seeing that Fang Mo had instantly killed the transformed Choze with one punch, the other monsters also suddenly panicked.

Yes, although they claimed to be invincible after transforming into monsters, deep down they knew better. They weren't even a match for Choze before his transformation, and now that even the transformed Choze was instantly killed by the opponent with one punch, it was clear they were outmatched.

Even Bakuzan, who had been torturing Suiryu, was now distracted by this disturbance and looked towards Fang Mo: "Huh? Who is this guy…"

"Excuse me, does anyone know that guy just now?"

But Fang Mo, seemingly unconcerned, just casually dug his ear out and said: "He died too quickly just now, I didn't quite catch what he was saying."

"Ha ha ha!"

Although these fighting monster fighters were indeed frightened, at this moment they still recklessly charged forward… These were the crow monsters brought by Gouketsu.

They were Gouketsu's former disciples, too weak to maintain their sanity even after monsterization, becoming beast-like creatures, unable to stand the smell of blood. Now, with Choze turned into a blood mist by a punch, this instead triggered their ferocity, and they flapped their wings, charging at Fang Mo.

Fang Mo's figure slightly swayed, delivering a punch to each crow monster.

But his speed was so fast that these monsters couldn't even see what happened; the crows exploded into a blood mist at the same time.

Black feathers mixed with blood droplets fell from the sky, even creating a kind of eerie beauty.

"You seem... indeed quite capable."

With his subordinates dead, Gouketsu appeared to take things a bit more seriously, and if one looked carefully, one could even see a hint of excitement: "Gyoro Gyoro was right after all. Well then, I'll just play with you for a bit. Although Gyoro Gyoro specifically mentioned avoiding conflicts with S-class heroes as much as possible, if I handle you... it shouldn't take long."

"I advise you to listen to Gyoro Gyoro."

Hearing Gouketsu's remarks, Fang Mo earnestly advised: "Honestly, it really won't take me long to handle you."

"Hehehe, hero..."

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, Gouketsu couldn't help but suddenly burst into laughter, but in the next second, his gaze hardened: "Die!"

Despite Gouketsu's building-sized physique, his speed was frighteningly fast, almost a different dimension compared to the monster Choze. Accompanied by a howling sound like a hurricane, Gouketsu charged at Fang Mo in an instant, his terrifying punch pressing down from above.

The mere wind from his punch was enough to blow away all the humans and monsters on the ring.

Even the ring itself couldn't withstand it, exploding into countless fragments, with a huge crater appearing where Fang Mo stood.

Even Gouketsu himself displayed a cruelly delighted smile, as if anticipating the scene of his opponent smashed into a pulp. But soon he found it hard to smile, because somehow his punch was suspended right above Fang Mo's head.

"What... what?"

Gouketsu was surprised, his all-out punch inexplicably unable to reach his opponent, instead feeling a repelling force continually pushing his fist outward.

The harder he tried, the stronger the repelling force became.

Even with all his strength, Gouketsu's fist couldn't push down even a millimeter.

Looking at the smiling Fang Mo below, Gouketsu then understood Gyoro Gyoro's words; these S-class heroes really weren't simple, this kind of defense shield was something he couldn't quite comprehend, likely not achievable by any martial art.

But thinking of Gyoro Gyoro, Gouketsu suddenly paused, then a realization dawned on him.

"Could it be... psychokinesis?"

Seeing this, Gouketsu suddenly withdrew his fist and leapt back some distance, then cautiously scanned around: "Is there an ambush?"

Yes, upon discovering he couldn't hit Fang Mo, Gouketsu recalled that there was an S-class hero named Tornado, absurdly powerful and even Gyoro Gyoro was wary of her, skilled in the same type of power.

Gouketsu had seen Gyoro Gyoro's abilities.

It was a kind of invisible force that could interfere with the real world.

So now he suspected if there was an ambush around, whether Tornado had already arrived here, ready to launch a surprise attack.

However, Gouketsu thought this way, certainly also based on his own judgment. In his view, although Fang Mo had apparently run away earlier, now he had voluntarily returned to the fighting ring; what did that imply? He must have some reliance to dare to come back, otherwise wouldn't that be seeking death?

"Damn it, come out!"

Thinking this, Gouketsu immediately yelled around: "Tornado of the Hero Association! Do you really enjoy hiding and ambushing?"

However, no sooner had Gouketsu shouted a couple of times.

One of his eyes suddenly noticed Xiao Yao not far away.

"Hmm?"

Seeing her for a moment, Gouketsu instantly realized, this young-looking woman floating in the air... according to the intelligence, she must be Tornado, right?

Thinking about this.

Gouketsu immediately launched an attack.

He suddenly assumed a martial arts stance, then stomped on the ground with one foot, and with a loud boom, the ground beneath him splashed like water, rippling outward. As the ripples expanded, the ground rolled up, and the entire fighting arena was filled with cracks, teetering on collapse.

And with the vast surge of air bursting forth.

Gouketsu shot like lightning toward the direction of Xiao Yao.

This time it wasn't a punch, but a knee strike, concentrating all the kinetic energy of his massive body into one point, attacking with a force that could obliterate anything.

"Die!!!"

Gouketsu bellowed, and all five eyes locked onto his target at the same time.

Yet, to Gouketsu's surprise, the 'Tornado' he was aiming at just looked at him with a bit of astonishment, and the next second, a familiar figure had already intercepted in front of her.

"Dammit, you dare attack my girlfriend!"

Seeing Fang Mo's expression darken noticeably, he immediately threw a punch without a second word: "Damn it, I can't hold back... Intentional Bombardment Fist!"

And this punch was extraordinary.

The moment Fang Mo's fist connected, both the dimensional ring and the storage space's neutron element sword lit up.

His fist suddenly flashed with a black-purple light, and immense gravitational forces rapidly converged, causing the surrounding space to collapse and decay, forming a pitch-black sphere.

In an instant, everything around started to gravitationally pull towards his fist, like being swallowed by a black hole, forming a terrifying vortex.

At the same time, numerous black-purple arcs of electricity flashed continuously.

Any matter that touched it was instantly disintegrated into the finest dust.

"!!!"

Seeing this scene, a sudden and uncontrollable gulp escaped Gouketsu's throat.

Following this, an endless sense of dread rose within him. As a martial artist, his instincts made him realize the danger of what was before him — it was the sensation of imminent death.

But now, even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. It was as if a terrifying gravitational pull was dragging him towards Fang Mo's fist, and despite his desperate struggles in mid-air, it was futile; he could only watch as that fist grew larger in his view.

At that moment, Gouketsu finally realized.

The strength of the individual before him was perhaps excessively formidable, perhaps even more so than Gyoro Gyoro had anticipated.

Would other executives also be defeated in an instant?

Could the Monster King Orochi even stand a chance against this guy?

Unfortunately, there was no time for Gouketsu to ponder further, as Fang Mo had already launched his punch.

The gravitational field indiscriminately tore through everything in the forward sectorial area — the ground, the ring, the walls of the fighting arena, and even the body of the dragon-level monster Gouketsu; everything was instantly shredded to nothingness, not even a drop of blood remained.

"Phew, that's settled."

Having dealt with Gouketsu, Fang Mo let out a long breath of relief.

It had to be said, fighting Gouketsu had been quite satisfying; that punch alone had earned him over two hundred experience points. To think that defeating those crow monsters only gave him five points each; indeed, battling dragon-level monsters was truly gratifying.

After defeating Gouketsu and gaining quite a bit of experience for his Iron Fist module, Fang Mo was visibly in a good mood. He then turned to Xiao Yao and smiled.

"How about that, partner? Not bad, saving the day, right?"

"…"

However, Xiao Yao seemed a bit startled, floating there somewhat dazed.

"Hey, what's up?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo grabbed her shoulders and shook her a bit, then pinched her cheek gently: "I told you your PvP skills are weak, just hide a bit, no need to show off. It's not like I couldn't handle them... and now you're scared stiff, huh?"

"Um…"

Called out by Fang Mo, Xiao Yao finally snapped back to reality.

She had indeed been a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment; of course, there was no helping it. After all, unlike Fang Mo who had struggled through countless worlds and faced myriad demons and monsters, she had just crossed over not long ago and lacked any real combat sense, her mindset clearly not yet adjusted, instinctively feeling she couldn't win.

"…I almost thought you were going to punch me too."

Though scared, Xiao Yao would never admit it, thus she turned her head and said: "Nicely done, but don't try to act like madman next time, I'm scared."
