Chapter 143

He appeared behind Lu En.

A finger shot toward him in a sudden attack.

Finger Pistol!

But he only saw,

Lu En tilted his body ever so slightly, dodging the Finger Pistol with effortless ease.

"Tempest Kick!"

Bokatoro swiftly pulled back to create distance, then whipped out a fierce kick.

The surging power gathered beneath his foot,

in an instant, transformed into a peerless, dazzling streak of light.

Whoosh—

A vicious slash flew straight toward Lu En's position.

Wherever it passed…

it seemed as if even space itself would be cleaved apart.

A piercing screech of tearing air exploded outward.

A sky-filling gust swept over Lu En's body.

His gaze was calm and natural.

The next second,

he slowly raised his right arm.

"Iron Body·Steel Fist!"

Clenching his right fist,

he threw a punch.

Boundless power gathered upon the fist, then erupted all at once in a sudden, full-blown explosion.

The punch slammed into the incoming slash.

Boom—

Accompanied by a world-shaking roar.

Like thunder in the ears,

deafening to the extreme.

The violent force erupted into endless shockwaves, evolving into a surging blast that swept swiftly in every direction, forcibly shaking even the entire warship.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The warship trembled faintly.

The several hundred Marines standing on the deck were all affected by the blast; without prior agreement, they all shrank back in unison, their eyes filled with horror as they stared fixedly at the battlefield ahead.

The shockwave alone scraped the skin on their faces until it ached.

They dared not imagine,

if they were standing at the very center of that explosion…

what a terrifying force they would have to endure!

Crack!

Crack!

Faint sounds came from the warship's deck.

Under the assault of this blast,

even though the warship's deck was made of an extremely special material, it was faintly struck until it cracked, splitting open with a series of relatively faint fissures.

"Soru!"

Before the dust had fully settled, Lu En's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The very moment he disappeared,

Bokatoro's figure appeared directly overhead, sweeping a kick down at the now-empty spot below.

"He vanished…"

Seeing Lu En's disappearing figure, Bokatoro's pupils contracted slightly; his attacking motion abruptly ground to a halt, and he roused his full vigilance, carefully observing his surroundings.

·· ·········Request flowers··· ····

Treading Moon Walk,

Bokatoro kept shifting his position to prevent Lu En from seizing the chance to kill him.

High in the air,

Bokatoro stepped on the air, producing a series of pleasant sounds, like the breaking of glass.

Extremely shrill,

ear-piercing.

"Colonel Bokatoro…"

"Are you looking for me?"

A playful voice drifted faintly from right behind Bokatoro's head.

In an instant,

Bokatoro felt every hair on his body stand on end, a chill shooting from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.

A creeping horror,

a shiver down the spine.

"When?!"

Twisting his stiff neck, Bokato turned his head back with a look of pure horror.

He could see,

Lu En had already thrown out a kick.

"Tempest Kick!"

A streak of dazzling light transformed into a fierce slash, flung out from beneath Lu En's foot.

Whoosh—

Accompanied by a piercing sound of tearing air.

The slash closed in on Bokato's position without limit.

Dazzling,

Blinding,

Radiant.

This slash contained an immensely powerful cutting force, brimming with destructive power.

Faintly,

Wherever the slash passed, even the very space in this area was writhing and trembling madly.

It seemed…

To produce the visual illusion of space about to shatter and collapse.

"So fast!"

Seeing this incoming slash, Bokato's face shifted slightly.

At the critical moment…

He could no longer dodge.

He could only tank it with his body!

"Iron Block — Steel!"

With a great shout, Bokato drove the power within his body at full force, gradually transforming his body into something as hard as steel.

The Six Powers' Iron Block had been pushed to its absolute limit at this moment!

Finally—

The slash successfully struck Bokato's body.

Boom!

Accompanied by a tremendous roar.
