Chapter 139: Tathagata Palm, Kate's Countermeasure (3k First Update)

Jiebo completely transformed his physique in mid-air, and then, as Bai Cangshu's body expanded, he clasped his fists together and smashed down violently from the sky.

Bai Cangshu looked at the distance between them; even though they were still several meters apart, multiple thoughts appeared in Bai Cangshu's mind in an instant.

Was the opponent going to use some kind of energy-projection technique to attack him from a distance?

Or was Jiebo going to utilize his ability to freely adjust his physique to instantly elongate his arms to attack him?

The battle between the two was already extremely fast, and everything happened in the blink of an eye; he had to make a judgment within a few milliseconds. At this moment, Bai Cangshu watched the opponent's muscle movements, instantly crossed his arms, and raised his hands to block above him.

Bang!

In Bai Cangshu's eyes, those clenched fists were still more than two meters away from him, but a massive force had already struck.

Bai Cangshu instantly felt as if he had traded blows with Queen Maeve again, and he was instantly and uncontrollably knocked down from the sky.

Jiebo, meanwhile, used the moment of their collision to generate a force out of thin air, leaping upward another stretch, flipping in the air, head downward, and slowly pressing his right hand down.

At this instant, Bai Cangshu felt a huge sense of crisis. He looked at the palm that seemed like slow motion in his eyes; although it was still very far away, that sense of oppression already made his whole body feel cold.

Bai Cangshu no longer hid; while falling, he raised his right hand, pressed his left hand against his right wrist, and golden Qi condensed in an instant.

Hum!

The next moment, the air in front of him shattered completely. Bai Cangshu had already realized what was happening and fired a Dodon Ray at the same time.

Boom!

The explosion occurred a few meters in front of Bai Cangshu. He was instantly accelerated by the terrifying shockwave and smashed into the ground, making a loud bang.

In the air, Jiebo tilted his head and touched his ear, which had been grazed off.

This Tao Baibai actually possessed a long-range ability capable of piercing his level 4 【Tathagata Palm】. Although he had seen this move from a distance before, only by experiencing it personally could he perceive the terrifying penetrative power and might of this ability.

Thinking of the codename Tao Baibai, he could almost be certain that the opponent indeed possessed abilities from that extremely dangerous 【Dragon Ball World】.

Martial Artist, Dodon Ray, wearing Tao Baibai's pink robe—this guy... had no intention of hiding his abilities at all.

Jiebo fell from the sky, the energy in his meridians slowly recovering.

As a Great Cultivator who had already opened all three meridians and seven wheels upon entering the space, and also being a Chosen One, Jiebo had an extremely smooth start, but his overly brutal behavior had displeased someone in 【Blue Sky】.

In the end, after paying a considerable price, he obtained the protection of a certain big shot and also became his follower.

That big shot valued Jiebo's potential and found him the 【Reanimation Technique】, an ability that fit his talent very well; unsurprisingly, his Chosen One talent awakened.

Then, after obtaining the 【Tathagata Palm: Fragment】 ability through a trade, Jiebo felt he was already among the fastest-developing Reincarnators. He hadn't expected this Tao Baibai to be even more exaggerated than himself.

Since when could low-level Reincarnators obtain abilities from the 【Dragon Ball World】?

Could the opponent also be a pawn or follower of some big shot?

Thud!

Jiebo bent his knees. The benefit of having an excessive muscle-to-body ratio was immense strength. At this moment, the interface displayed data that was completely 20+, which was a special display method in the space.

It indicated that the Reincarnator's strength had exceeded the theoretical limit without having crossed the 【Extreme Value】; in reality, the Reincarnator's strength at this time, according to the First Order calculation, had already reached 23, 24, or even higher.

But because the 【Efficiency】 of numerical values at each stage in the space was different, a Reincarnator who had truly crossed the Extreme Value would gain much more effect from 1 point of strength than a Reincarnator who had not crossed the Extreme Value would gain from multiple points of strength.

Therefore, the expression 【20+】 represented that, currently, Jiebo's strength was an existence that broke the rules among First Order Reincarnators.

At the same time, the overly high muscle ratio made Jiebo's movements and reactions less fluid than before. He had no shock-absorption process in his landing, simply relying on the strength of this Starlight body to perform a free fall.

He waved his hand casually, the massive force causing his swing to emit a dull whistling sound. A gale swept through instantly, and the smoke at the place where Bai Cangshu fell dissipated.

"You're not dead, Tao Baibai? Only this level..."

Jiebo's voice stopped abruptly. He saw the smoke clear, and standing before him was a muscle monster over two meters tall, emitting white steam from its entire body. The way its muscles bulged all over was even more exaggerated than his current type, which had shifted its physique to full strength and Constitution.

The opponent looked exactly like someone who had used some kind of 【Transformation】 ability.

Bai Cangshu turned his head, saw Jiebo finally land from the sky, and tilted his head to spit out a mouthful of thick, blood-stained phlegm.

"So slow, Jiebo."

Thud.

Bai Cangshu took a step forward, the ground shook, and a certain Force was driven directly into the ground. Jiebo's muscles tensed instantly, but the next moment, he discovered that the man had not disappeared and was still stepping toward him.

Thud.

Another step was taken, and the earth seemed to transmit a peculiar rhythm.

The relaxed and easy smile on Jiebo's face dissipated somewhat; he had realized that this Tao Baibai was likely a monster of attributes.

At this very moment, the opponent's physical body was actually no less than his own, having seized the body of the Superhero Starlight and activated his talent.

Although he was still a First Order Reincarnator and could only use his attributes with the lowest 【Efficiency】, by the same logic, would there really be a First Order Reincarnator whose strength, agility, and Constitution all broke the rules?

Thud!

A gust of wind hit his face, and Jiebo's pupils constricted. Tao Baibai had arrived in front of him in an instant. The two were less than ten centimeters apart, and he could almost smell the nauseating aura on the opponent.

Bai Cangshu had his hands in his pockets, head lowered, looking at Jiebo, who appeared incredibly stocky after changing his form, and said,

"This isn't your trump card, Jiebo."

"How much longer do you intend to keep up this pretense..."

Bang!

Jiebo threw a punch instantly, but Bai Cangshu, having fully mastered 【First of the First】 in this close-quarters combat, instantly raised his palm and caught it completely. His own 20+ force was like a clay ox entering the sea. Jiebo's thoughts shifted, his figure changed bit by bit, and at the same time, the energy center on top of his head glowed again.

His hands disappeared in an instant, his speed reaching the extreme. Countless fists struck simultaneously at Bai Cangshu's throat, heart, kidneys, perineum, and other vital points. More importantly, the mental power of the chakra was simultaneously eroding the opponent.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

A series of striking sounds appeared. Bai Cangshu's lips curled; his own hands were also waving at extreme speed, precisely blocking every punch.

"Ha, you really were just using Illusion Technique to deceive my senses just now, just like this moment..."

In Bai Cangshu's eyes, the distance between the two had actually widened significantly, and the opponent's fists were all striking places where they couldn't touch him at all, but Bai Cangshu still relied on the flow of the air to catch all these fists.

As long as the distance was close enough, even without relying on vision, Bai Cangshu could fully capture the opponent's limb movements.

Bai Cangshu was a very wild person; once he knew his sense of distance had been misled, he completely discarded the influence of vision and fought by trusting his intuition entirely.

He laughed wildly, and suddenly, he clenched his hands.

Jiebo's slender arms, which were like phantoms, were grabbed directly, and then Bai Cangshu raised his head and smashed it down violently.

Bang!

Jiebo's skull vibrated, the light of the Meridian wheels vanished, and Bai Cangshu pulled his hands apart and exhaled a breath of turbid vital energy.

!

"You must have kept a real body hidden somewhere, rest assured, you won't have the chance to return to that body..."

"And that trump card you've kept hidden for so long, let it dissipate along with your Arrogance."

At this moment, everything before Jiebo was golden, and only the voice of Tao Baibai seemed to appear from nowhere.

But his heart kept sinking; that feeling of being Empty was incredibly panic-inducing.

He would die? That was impossible. His current body was a fleshly body with Starlight capable of resisting large-caliber sniper rifle fire; even a Dodon Ray shouldn't be able to kill him instantly.

ORA ORA ORA...

Bai Cangshu's fists suddenly disappeared, and his Power and Speed, both at A-rank, erupted instantly.

Countless fists struck Jiebo's naked female body in an instant, the shockwaves accompanied by the whistling of air, and the terrifying frequency caused the Yellow Springs Power within Bai Cangshu to begin awakening rapidly.

Finally, a streak of pitch-black light emerged from within Bai Cangshu, flowing with his blood onto his fists.

Bai Cangshu watched as the pupils of Jiebo, who had just regained consciousness, contracted violently; her head was expanding—that was the opponent reacting quickly to prepare for self-detonation, but it was already too late.

Bai Cangshu's pupils were filled with indifference.

Death Intent Senra!

Bang!

A violent explosion accompanied by a blood mist erupted; Bai Cangshu felt as if he were riding the clouds and mist, watching his own body cross a distance of several hundred meters in an instant, crashing through the first floor of an entire building, and being thrown away accompanied by a massive force.

The last image he saw was that black man wearing a blue bodysuit looking at him indifferently before vanishing instantly.

A-Train...

Boom!

Bai Cangshu's limbs hung down uncontrollably due to the terrifying force, while his core torso was swept up by that overly powerful force, rapidly smashing through various walls, office equipment, and even some monitors.

Bang bang bang...

Countless violent impacts caused Bai Cangshu's bones to shatter piece by piece, and his internal organs were rapidly damaged.

A-Train's full-power eruption came unexpectedly; neither Jiebo nor Bai Cangshu had anticipated that the opponent could break free from the battlefield of Homelander.

Bai Cangshu being suddenly knocked away made Queen Maeve heave a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye, she heard an extremely terrifying roar.

"No!"

Homelander completely perceived the entire battlefield; he frowned and opened his eyes, seeing the blonde woman who had appeared before him at some unknown time, her hand resting on his cheek.

Golden Boy's girlfriend, Cate, had blood flowing from her nasal cavity, and her eyes were completely bloodshot; controlling and interfering with Homelander's Spirit was already beyond the limits of her ability, and even having injected Compound V, she was trembling all over at this moment, watching helplessly as the enraged Homelander broke free from her control.

And further away, Golden Boy, whose right arm had been torn off at the shoulder, saw this scene and immediately roared:

"Run, Cate!"

Boom!

Cate was like a black shadow, instantly blasted hundreds of meters away by Homelander, smashing into a car and triggering an explosion.

Homelander's eyes were bloodshot; his X-ray and long-distance vision allowed him to clearly see that his companion, the only person who recognized and understood him, and one could even say the "true friend" who guided him to this point—Tao Baibai—was now lying in the ruins with all his bones shattered and internal organs bleeding, his body trembling on the verge of death.

"You actually dare..."

Bang!

Homelander flew out instantly, a sonic boom cloud exploding on the flat ground; wails erupted instantly among the crowd, countless people's eardrums torn by the terrifying sonic roar.

A-Train was also sent flying instantly as if riding the clouds and mist.
