Chapter 228: Three punches!

"Bugs are just bugs, they only know how to run away when they encounter danger."

"Monster King" Orochi wandered around, searching for Sonic's trail. That man like a mouse was very good at running away.

After searching for a while, Orochi lost his patience and stopped caring about Sonic, turning his head towards the House of Evolution.

The huge figure crushed the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees. Wherever he went, it was a mess.

The earth was trembling! "Many auras have disappeared. Black Sperm and Homeless Emperor died almost at the same time. Who did it?"

"What is there here that that 'God' desperately needs? So much so that He helped us regardless of the cost."

"'He'... what is it..."

Orochi had many questions, but these questions could only be answered after victory. The only thing that made him a bit worried now was the reason why Black Sperm and Homeless Emperor died at the same time.

If it was an ambush, it could be understood. If not, Orochi had to carefully consider whether to continue attacking the House of Evolution.

While thinking, Orochi stopped, and a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

He didn't care much, and the tentacles on his body spat out ultra-high temperature rays, preparing to melt the pebbles blocking the way.

The person stood in place, like a mountain, and squeezed his knuckles, making a clicking sound.

The unstoppable ultra-high temperature ray rushed to the man in front of him in the blink of an eye. He grinned, seemingly with some mockery, his eyes bright, carrying an unyielding sharpness.

"Yellow Spring!"

A pitch-black ancient sword suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and cold, bone-chilling, surging water gushed out from the void.

It not only blocked Orochi's proud killing move but also submerged the surrounding forest, forming a vast marshland.

In the blink of an eye, half of Orochi's body was completely submerged; this water seemed to have a special power, making him feel completely uncomfortable.

"Who are you?"

A glimmer of light appeared in Orochi's indifferent eyes.

"You came to my territory with such fanfare, and you still dare to ask who I am?"

Chu Yang looked at Orochi with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.

"The person the god wants to kill is actually you?"

Orochi looked at Chu Yang with surprise, then sized him up and down, asking suspiciously, "Why?"

Why would the high and mighty god want to kill you, an ordinary person?

Chu Yang said with a half-smile, "You will know soon."

Orochi's eyes turned from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Large dark clouds suddenly drifted over his head, temporarily blocking the sunlight, and the area around the two became dim.

And in this dimness, a shrine rose from the ground, standing quietly on the water.

"Slash!"

Following Chu Yang's cold shout, countless slashes erupted suddenly, tearing the space in front of him.

Thousands of wounds of varying depths appeared all over Orochi's body, and blood drops the size of fists fell and gathered into a stream, merging with the surrounding Yellow Spring water to form a blood-red pool.

Orochi glared with wide eyes, all his tentacles attacking Chu Yang at the same time, high-temperature rays crisscrossing, and his hideous, terrifying mouth biting toward Chu Yang.

"Slash!"

It was still the same cold word.

A fierce storm of slashes appeared again! It not only severed the tentacles but also extinguished the rays, and even fell on Orochi with undiminished power.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~ The sound of wounds tearing was as loud as ripping clothes; before long, Orochi was covered in blood and gore, his flesh flying, standing in the water like a broken rag doll.

For the first time, a look of horror appeared in Orochi's eyes; this man, who looked very ordinary, was actually so fierce.

On the other hand, he was also very confused; he possessed a near-unsolvable ability to imitate and learn, but after two slashes, he hadn't learned anything.

Orochi couldn't understand the principle of the slashes, nor could he understand the Yellow Spring water that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Human, your name."

Orochi's momentum soared, his tone as majestic as a king's.

"Dead people don't deserve to know my name."

Chu Yang shook his head.

"I am the King of Monsters, you should maintain respect for me!"

Orochi let out an angry roar, staring fiercely at Chu Yang; the previous words had offended his dignity as a king.

"King of Monsters, my foot."

Chu Yang gently stroked the 【Fengdu】 ancient sword with his fingertips, a sneer on his lips, and suddenly a sword light flashed, and one of Orochi's arms was slashed off.

Continuously stimulated, Orochi fell into a state of extreme rage, and the tentacles wrapped around his whole body seemed to turn into real "giant dragons."

One by one, the "giant dragons" were intertwined and completely unleashed by Orochi, his body rising again, his whole body burning with raging flames.

Chu Yang had foreseen this, and the vast marshland formed by the Yellow Spring water restricted the further spread of the flames on Orochi's body.

The power was immediately reduced by more than half!

The higher the flames rose, the more Orochi could feel the suppression of the Yellow Spring water on himself; his body, nearly fifty or sixty meters tall, leaped up, intending to stay away from this "low-lying land."

"Naive!"

"Water, come!"

After melting the Water Demon Pearl into his body using the Treasure Refining Art, Chu Yang's ability to control water was like divine assistance, more brilliant than any Water Release.

Dozens of water tornadoes acted like chains, firmly binding the dozens of "giant dragons" on Orochi's body, and the burning flames were completely extinguished.

He was hung high in mid-air by Chu Yang like a prisoner waiting for execution.

At this moment, the dark clouds moved, and the sunlight shone directly on Orochi; for a moment, he was like the Hanged Man in the Tarot cards.

The coldness of the Yellow Spring water eroded Orochi's skin, making his body feel heavier than usual.

Dozens of "giant dragons" opened their mouths, powerful energy brewing in them, all aimed at Chu Yang, and a scorching hot wind blew in his face.

"You never learn."

Chu Yang sneered, and with a flip of his hand, the Yellow Spring water poured into the mouths of dozens of "giant dragons" simultaneously, and the surging water poured out.

A painful howl came from Orochi's mouth.

The Yellow Spring water entering the body directly was far more painful than being outside the body.

The coldness from beneath the Nine Netherworlds could even freeze the soul!

"The reason I spent some effort to let you live a little longer is because you have research value."

"You should be very grateful for every piece of flesh on your body."

The indifferent voice was like a devil's whisper, making Orochi's eyes widen suddenly, revealing intense fear.

He struggled frantically with his body, wanting to break free from the chains formed by the Yellow Spring water, but it was all in vain.

Water has no constant shape.

Since it is formless, it cannot be broken by brute force, unless his high-temperature rays could evaporate the Yellow Spring water.

Unfortunately, it couldn't.

Even the "Strongest Shinigami" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Ryujin Jakka couldn't do this.

Orochi's vitality was very vigorous, which also meant that the time he spent experiencing pain before death would be longer than others.

With the endless Yellow Spring water pouring in, the frequency of Orochi's body trembling gradually decreased, and after a quarter of an hour, he lost his breath.

With Orochi's death, the Yellow Spring water rolled back and hid in the void again, and the 【Fengdu】 ancient sword also returned to the depths of Chu Yang's soul.

"Genus, come over to recover Orochi's corpse."

"Yes, My Lord."

Not long after, a group of robots flew to the sky above Chu Yang one after another.

Small holes appeared between their fingers, and with a "bang," they sprayed out large nets and grappling hooks, covering Orochi's corpse in layers.

Seeing this, Chu Yang left the subsequent processing to these robots with peace of mind, locking onto Garou's position with Observation Haki before leaving.

On another battlefield, the hand-to-hand combat between Mumen Rider and Garou entered its final stage.

Garou's image had changed drastically by now, and he no longer looked like his former self.

His whole body was wrapped in scales, and the horns on his head had lengthened, becoming as sharp as blades, shining brightly in the sun. The biggest change was that a pair of fleshy wings had grown on his back.

The black wings were like the wings of a devil in legends, greatly increasing Garou's speed, almost no less than Sonic's.

Compared to Garou's leap-style growth, Mumen Rider seemed to lag far behind, as if returning to the way they were when they first met, suffering a one-sided beating.

It wasn't that Mumen Rider, who had unlocked his limiter, was inferior to Garou.

His growth curve was steadily increasing, not like Garou's explosive growth.

Garou was being forced to grow under the interference of a god.

Although the growth was gratifying, it wasn't lasting, and the stamina was insufficient.

With a few more battles, Mumen Rider would be able to surpass Garou, and by then, it would be Garou who was standing still.

But right now, if no one intervened, Mumen Rider probably wouldn't have a chance to surpass Garou.

He was about to be beaten to death by Garou! Blood mist kept exploding on his body, Mumen Rider's vision slowly blurred, a salty and fishy taste spread in his mouth, and a warm, slippery feeling filled his mouth.

He was almost used to vomiting blood, and a large amount of blood filled his nose and mouth, giving him the illusion of "drowning."

The sound of bones and flesh separating kept ringing in his ears, but Mumen Rider was completely unaware, even feeling like he was listening to music.

Pain! Very painful!

But he could no longer feel this pain; his nerves were so numb that his five senses were fading!

At this very moment.

The only thing supporting Mumen Rider from falling was his belief.

He had lost many times in his life.

Even after becoming the number one C-Class hero, he was still easily abused by monsters in missions, often having to rely on others to save the day.

My life was given by others.

It doesn't belong to me.

I want to save people.

I cannot die easily.

Mumen Rider was like a candle in the wind, swaying, almost about to be extinguished.

Only a faint glimmer of fire remained, illuminating the path where the future could not be seen.

"You are really tenacious; until now, I have never seen an opponent more tenacious than you."

Garou, whose heart was filled with slaughter, had a moment of clarity in his eyes, but it was soon occupied by a crimson red, and he fell back into being a slave to killing intent.

He attacked more and more ruthlessly, shattering all the bones in Mumen Rider's body, making it impossible for the other party to stand up again.

Mumen Rider fell, lying on the cold ground, looking into the distance with a dull gaze.

Suddenly!

It was as if he had seen something; light lit up in the depths of his eyes, and then he let out a long breath, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

At the same time, Garou seemed to sense something and turned his head abruptly.

The scorching sun was in the sky.

The heat flowing from that man was even more intense than the sun, more like a great sun hanging in the sky! "Yo, you even got yourself some skin; it looks quite intimidating. Did you meet a sugar daddy when you went out these past few days?"

Chu Yang's shadow was stretched and distorted on the ground, like a devil baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Garou, who had almost fallen into madness, still subconsciously shivered when he saw his figure, and the thought of running away arose.

But the next moment, he felt ashamed of his previous thought and became even more hysterical, roaring at Chu Yang.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm a superficial person; you really don't look good like this."

Chu Yang's eyes were so cold that they seemed to be seeping ice, "It even makes people feel disgusted."

The word "disgusted" seemed to trigger some kind of switch, and Garou's killing intent suddenly soared.

He slowly leaned down, his two arms hanging naturally, his thighs bent, his body swaying slightly, looking just like a feline hunting.

"Treating me as prey?"

"You have completely given up thinking now, right?"

"Although you weren't very smart to begin with..."

As soon as the words fell.

Garou rushed out like an arrow from a bow, his speed so fast that the air made a friction sound, and there was even a faint burnt smell.

Chu Yang tutted in wonder, stepped on the ground with one foot, and stomped a few times lightly.

"Earth, come!"

Mountain peaks rose from the ground, blocking Garou's path, and he was like an out-of-control train, crashing into them and knocking down the peaks in front of him.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed.

Chu Yang looked at Garou with interest, then narrowed his eyes.

A large shadow suddenly appeared over Garou's head.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a huge mountain peak falling from the sky, pressing down unreasonably.

Garou let out a strange cry, his spine straightened like a dragon raising its head, his hands held high, his muscles bulging like coiled dragons, his face hideous.

Mount Tai pressing down.

With a boom, the mountain peak and the ground were completely joined, and it was as if Garou had never appeared.

"Is it a bit too much?"

Chu Yang touched his chin, suddenly feeling that he was a bit like a villainous boss, putting the protagonist to the test.

The calm mountain peak suddenly began to shake, and the sound of the mountain cracking came from within.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Garou's angry voice echoed in the mountain, gradually becoming clearer, and then the mountain peak split into two, and he rushed out from the gap.

At this time, Garou had new changes again, as if evolving into a higher level of life.

The devil's scales on the surface of his body shattered, revealing a hollow body; there were no organs, only a galaxy could be seen.

The whole body turned into a universe!

Cosmic Garou!

Like fireworks in summer, Garou's speed was also as fast as flashing.

At the moment he was about to hit Chu Yang... his body bent to an incredible arc, like a fully drawn longbow.

He threw a punch with an endless, violent momentum, as if he wanted to perish together with the enemy in front of him.

"Not bad."

In the time it took for Garou to throw one punch, Chu Yang threw three.

The Dragon Elephant Ming Wang Art was unleashed with full force.

The sounds of dragon roars and elephant trumpets resounded through the sky.

The first punch hit the strongest part of his fist, defeating his fist with a crushing momentum.

The second punch hit his heart, and his raging fire of life was extinguished by more than half, turning into a candle in the wind.

Cosmic Garou regressed to his devil form.

For the third punch, Chu Yang swept toward his head, but when throwing this punch, Chu Yang held back five parts of his ten-part strength.

And this five-part strength broke Garou's hard horns and shattered his skull.

A large amount of flesh and blood peeled off, leaving a bare patch, bloody and miserable.

Garou's vision was covered in blood, and he flew out softly like a kite with a broken string.

Lying in a pool of blood, Garou tried hard to lift his head, blood tears streaming from his eyes.

He looked at Chu Yang with empty eyes.

"Why..."
