Chapter 934: Dare You Say My Old Fists Are Weak? Youth Serum, Exploding Heart Release Fist!
"Is that the four-eyes————"
Garou looked in the direction Glasses had fallen, and with his sharper eyesight, he spotted the phone cracked beside him.
Although the distance was far and he couldn't see what was on the lit screen, since that stinky old man Bang had come, it meant the other party had sent a distress signal to the outside after discovering their group couldn't take him down.
"Garou, although you betrayed the master's teachings, I always believed your nature wasn't bad, just a bit rebellious, curious about the crooked paths of life you hadn't walked.
And after experiencing trials and growth, you should still be able to return to the right path, but now it seems I was wrong————"
"Crooked path? Right path? You stinky old man, you've just lived longer than me, what makes you think you get to define good and evil, justice and evil in this world?"
Towards Bang's words, Garou was full of contempt.
From childhood to adulthood it was always like this, old geezers like Bang always liked to impose their own views of good and evil on him, thinking that the concepts of good and evil they acknowledged, he must also acknowledge.
However, so-called good and evil are nothing more than two sides of the same thing seen by guys in opposing positions.
What benefits oneself is good, what harms oneself is evil, humans are inherently creatures that seek profit and avoid harm, and those guys who package this behavior as justice are hypocrites.
"Stinky old man, in my eyes, you're nothing but a hypocrite.

Garou was not polite in the slightest, speaking the words in his heart for Bang to hear.
"So that's how you view this world, view me?"
"So what if it is?"
"Indeed, I'm just a stinky old man who's lived longer than you, and I don't have the qualification to arbitrarily define the world's good and evil, but a stinky old man like me can still erase the evil in my eyes from this world, Garou, are you prepared to be killed by me?"
Bang's words made Garou's hair stand on end; he felt a killing intent as tangible as substance from the other party.
Bang didn't wait for Garou to reply, moving first, arriving before Garou in an instant, using the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist Rising Dragon Fist that Saitama had used.
Although Bang didn't have Saitama's exaggerated stats, his fist technique was countless times more refined than Saitama's, and his high utilization rate of physical strength let this move carry the force to shatter giant boulders.
"Bang~"
The abandoned factory's tin roof was broken open, Garou was directly punched onto the factory roof, inside the factory Bang stepped on the iron shelves with a few jumps and directly chased up.
This master-disciple pair, *papapa*, fought with Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist on the tin roof, and the tin roof was like clay, easily torn and blasted open by their fist winds.
Garou originally thought he would be at a disadvantage, but after actually exchanging blows, he discovered his former teacher's fists seemed to have become much slower.
【No, that's wrong, it's not that this stinky old man got slower, it's that I got faster!】
"Bang~"
Garou leaped into mid-air, grabbed the fist Bang swung at him, legs together he kicked at the old man's chest.
Borrowing the force of the kick Garou shot toward the outside of the factory, while Bang was directly kicked into the abandoned factory, the side tin wall smashed open with a breach.
Garou landed steadily, and upon discovering his former master's current strength was actually no match for his own, a wanton smile hung on his face once more.
"Stinky old man, you're old, your fists aren't as hard as mine now, nor as ruthless, if you still want to enjoy your old age in peace, you'd best obediently lie in there, for the sake of you once teaching me fist techniques, this time I'll let you go once!"
Garou crossed his arms before his chest, shouting toward the inside of the factory just like that.
"Garou, didn't expect you've grown to this extent, truly the fist fears the young and strong!"
"Heh, people must serve the old, good that you know."
"What if I also use a young posture to fight you?"
Bang's figure walked out from the abandoned factory.
And his right hand pressed against his neck, the special syringe he held was already empty.
Bang's skin became more and more wrinkled, yet his hunched back became straighter and straighter.
Unlike Shibabawa who still needed Broly to help molt, after Bang walked out of the factory, his bones crackled, his body shook.
The old skin was directly shaken into fragments, rustling down from his body.
In the sunlight, the one appearing before Garou was no longer that old man at death's door.
But a robust youth who looked only two or three years older than Garou, with an incomparably sturdy body.
The other's mouth corners hooked up slightly; compared to Garou's superficial arrogant smile, his arrogance seemed rooted in his bones.
Garou stared dumbfounded, completely unexpected that this stinky old man actually had a second form.
"The young feeling really isn't bad, the stuff that kid Broly gave is truly the real deal."
Young Bang's face wore an arrogant, unruly smile, he turned his head to look at Garou and said.
"Old man round over, let's enter the young round showdown."
Words fell, Bang's figure vanished from the spot, again breaking through to before Garou.
"Exploding Heart Release Fist!"
He didn't use any fancy fist techniques, but straight out punched squarely on Garou's crossed arms in a defensive posture.
*Crack! * Even without taking it head-on, Garou used unloading techniques to let the fist force blast him away, but his hand bones were still broken.
"You said just now my fists weren't hard enough, weren't ruthless enough, then how about now?"
Bang laughed loudly chasing up, body like a phantom, using a fierce violent fist technique different from Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, he beat up this reverse disciple Garou.
"Stinky old man————ugh————"
Fist shadows came from all directions, Garou maintained a defensive posture barely supporting himself, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of counterattacking, but the consequence of counterattacking was being caught in an opening and taking an even more vicious beating.
Bruises purple and green rose on his body, Garou's consciousness gradually blurred, the rejuvenated Bang was like a cat toying with a mouse, not in a hurry to bite this mouse to death in one go.
"How about it, how about it, you this reverse disciple only have this degree of skill? Weren't you just arrogantly saying my fists aren't as hard as yours, aren't as ruthless as yours?
Then now, how come you've become the one with soft flimsy fists instead?
Hahaha, if you only have this much ability, your so-called evil, is it worthy of blocking before the justice I protect?
However, since you just now gave me a chance to let you go, I'll let you this reverse disciple go once too.
Hmm, as long as you kneel and admit fault now, loudly say 【Master, I was wrong】, promise to reform and start anew, this master will forgive you once."
Consciousness blurred, the ringing in his ears made it hard for Garou to hear all of Bang's words, but whether by coincidence or not, Bang's later words telling him to admit fault just happened to be heard clearly by Garou.
"Admit I'm wrong? No, I wasn't wrong in the first place, you stinking old man, don't even think about making me kneel and apologize!"
Garou's eyes turned red in an instant, and even his hair was dyed crimson in a single moment.
"Monsterfication?!"
Bang's heart sank, recognizing the situation before him.
Just now, Garou having held back against his aged self had made Bang's heart soften toward this reverse disciple once again.
But the current situation made him feel regret once again————
"You really won't admit you're wrong?"
Young Bang issued a final ultimatum question.
"Won't admit it."
But the result he got still disappointed him.
"Since that's the case, I can only let you die."
Exploding Heart Liberation Fist this time struck straight at Garou's head without any hesitation.
Although Garou had entered a monsterfication state, the monsterfication state did not have the effect of instantly healing the wounds on his body.
In other words, he was still in a state of being beaten dazed, his whole body, only his mouth was still hard.
Just as Garou was about to be beaten to death, a ball of flame suddenly shot toward Bang's head from the side.
"Who?"
Bang changed moves, using Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist to shatter the incoming fireball, then questioned aloud.
But the Phoenix Man who launched the sneak attack had no intention of answering his question.
After using his sprayed flames to interrupt Bang's offense, he rapidly flew to the air above Garou.
Claws grabbed Garou's shoulders, directly carrying him flying up.
"Don't think you can run!"
Young Bang's reaction was extremely fast; watching the Phoenix Man fly away carrying Garou, he ran a distance to build momentum, then pushed off with his feet and leaped high, leaping toward the Phoenix Man's direction, as if preparing an eagle strike into the long sky, to strike down the Phoenix Man carrying someone away.
However, the ground suddenly split open, a huge figure rushed out, interposing itself between Bang and the Phoenix Man.
"Centipede Elder, the rear guard duty is left to you."
The Phoenix Man shouted, didn't linger, and continued flying away carrying the person.
Blocked by this, the flightless Bang could no longer catch up to the Phoenix Man who had flown far away.
He glared at the Centipede Elder who had suddenly rushed out from underground to block him, with its huge body, and charged up without the slightest fear.
O
When Broly received the Hero Association's dispatch support notice and rushed over to this side, what he saw was the panting Young Bang old man, and the Centipede Elder who had been beaten by him with martial arts until a layer of bloody skin was shed.
But obviously, the rejuvenated Bang old man also couldn't deal with the Centipede Elder, this kind of giant monster that can molt to recover from injuries.
"biu~"
However, such a Centipede Elder died under a single plain and unremarkable energy beam from Broly who had arrived at the crime scene.
The Centipede Elder's head was directly pierced through by the light beam, its falling body's vitality was wrapped by Broly's massive Qi packet and rapidly plundered.
Before it even hit the ground, making an impact sound, the Centipede Elder's huge body was sucked until not even slag remained, directly turning into flying ash.
"Bang old man, so you finally used the Youth Serum, therefore you specially found an opponent stronger than yourself to measure your strength after restoring your youth?"
The descending Broly looked at the still heavily panting Bang and curiously asked.
"How could that be, I've long passed the age of vying for supremacy————"
The heavily panting Bang gave Broly a somewhat speechless look, then explained what had just happened on this side.
"Right, almost forgot, the heroes beaten down by that reverse disciple, Broly, you go check how many died and how many can still be saved————"
Bang suddenly remembered something, quickly said to Broly, fighting the Centipede Elder had made his head a bit dazed, almost forgetting those heroes who had fallen earlier.
"No deaths, just injuries are more severe, but all can be saved————"
Broly went to check the fallen heroes as told, and soon had results; although among these people the most severe had almost all their sternums comminuted fractured, internal organs and such also damaged not lightly, but with this world's medical means, even without someone like him who knows healing magic intervening, it's not too big a problem.
", really no deaths?"
"Bang old man, no deaths makes you dissatisfied, want me to kill one to cheer you up?"
"Uh, that won't be necessary————"
Bang hurriedly waved his hand, then immediately covered his forehead, and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Broly looked at him in puzzlement.
"Broly, you say if someone has a preconceived notion, misunderstands you did something you actually didn't do, and even beats you up badly for it, even wants to kill you, what would you feel?"
"Uh, this, I probably wouldn't have any feeling."
"Ah, pity, understanding kids like you are not often seen."
"Bang old man, did you misunderstand something?"
"What did I misunderstand?"
"If someone has a preconceived notion, misunderstands I did something I actually didn't do, then when the other party prepares to beat me up for it, they'd most likely be beaten up by me in return.
So, instead of asking what I feel after beating someone up to vent, you should ask what the person who might misunderstand me and get beaten up by me feels."
Hearing this, Bang fell silent for a while, and after a long time, only managed to squeeze out: "Alright, it's my problem, I shouldn't have used you as an example."
Broly's strength is too powerful; the same thing happening to him and happening to others has absolutely no similarity.
Afterwards, in order to verify his guess, Bang went to find that child with a runny nose who was encountered on the road when coming over to provide support, and learned from him the fact that Garou had protected him.
"Since he protected that child, why did that child still flee?"
In Z-City, inside the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist Dojo, Saitama raised his hand to ask a question.
"I asked him. That child was somewhat scared stiff at the time, so he subconsciously ran away."
Bang replied, then made a summary.
"Sigh, this matter is also my fault for being too impulsive. At the time, I thought Garou had already committed unforgivable atrocities, which is why I struck with lethal intent."
"Master Bang, this isn't your fault either. Who knew that under those circumstances, that guy Garou actually didn't kill a single hero."
Charanko comforted this robust youth who had become younger at his side, but whose temperament and bearing still greatly resembled the old Bang.
"But, Mr. Bang, didn't you say that guy called Garou had already shown signs of monsterization during his battle with you?"
"Not fully monsterized yet. And Garou's monsterization should be because I gave him pressure; it was because I didn't understand the situation clearly at the time.
Now that I understand clearly, knowing Garou would save an innocent child in a moment of peril, then I, who was once his master, naturally cannot easily give up on him when he can still be saved.
"Old man Bang, what do you plan to do?"
"I want to find Garou again, explain clearly the misunderstanding at the time. If he needs me to apologize and acknowledge my mistake to him, then I will apologize and acknowledge my mistake to him."
Bang said seriously.
"Worthy of being Teacher Bang. The magnanimity to acknowledge his own mistakes to a former Reverse Disciple is indeed worth us learning from!"
Charanko praised.
"I still have one question."
"Saitama, you still have what question?"
"That is, that innocent child, why was he in a moment of peril?"
With just one sentence of questioning, Saitama made the atmosphere inside the dojo turn cold.
Everyone, through his reminder, also thought of this matter.
Indeed, Garou saved an innocent child in a moment of peril, but the problem is, this moment of peril was fundamentally caused by him.
And the heroes who caused the peril, at most were unaware there was still an innocent child inside that factory building, so they accidentally manufactured the peril.
To sum it up, it still has to be blamed on Garou himself. If the other party hadn't stirred up this Hero Hunter business, who would be idle enough to go find trouble with him?
"Cough cough, after bringing Garou back, I will personally teach him."
Bang coughed once, somewhat embarrassedly added a sentence.
