Ziyuan let out a short cry of surprise, her body flying backward uncontrollably.
It landed precisely in a natural depression formed by huge pebbles, avoiding the direct impact range.
Azusa's heart was in her throat, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shion land safely.
Just as Shion was thrown into the air, Sakura's fist met Banner's giant fist!
Boom!
Two terrifying forces collided without any fancy moves!
Centered on the point where the two fists collided, a visible white ring-shaped shockwave exploded out!
The violent shockwave swept outwards like a tsunami!
Click! Click! Click!
On the riverbank, countless pebbles the size of washbasins were as if struck by an invisible giant hammer.
Instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, they then shattered into pieces!
The pebbles shot out like bullets, hitting the surrounding tree trunks and leaving deep dents!
The ground seemed to have been struck by a meteorite, and a huge crater several meters in diameter suddenly collapsed downwards from the center of the two people's feet!
Muddy water was squeezed out from underground and sprayed everywhere! The shockwave swept across the river surface, creating a wall of muddy waves several meters high!
"what?!"
Banner's sinister smile froze instantly, replaced by utter horror!
He felt as if he had struck not flesh and blood, but an ancient, existing mountain of steel!
A terrifying force, overwhelming and far beyond his imagination.
It came from the opponent's seemingly slender fist like a torrent of water!
"Ugh—!"
Banner let out a painful groan, his massive body being violently shaken and staggering back two steps!
Each step left deep footprints on the riverbank, and the pebbles around the footprints were all turned to dust!
The arm that collided with Sakura's sent a piercing, excruciating pain through his fist and forearm, as if his bones were groaning in agony!
In contrast, Sakura's feet sank slightly into the soft riverbed mud, her body as steady as a rock!
She slowly withdrew her fist, her pink hair fluttering in the turbulent air, her emerald green eyes sharp as knives, coldly staring at the horrified Banner.
"Is this all you have?"
Sakura's voice was calm, yet carried an invisible sense of pressure: "It seems I overestimated you."
Chapter 230 One punch turns it into a relief!
"You damned woman!!"
Banner's shock was instantly replaced by rage!
To be defeated head-on by a woman, a woman who didn’t look strong, was a huge humiliation for him!
He roared and unleashed another barrage of punches like a storm!
Each punch was accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, striking Sakura's vital points!
Faced with this ferocious attack, Sakura's figure became as agile as a butterfly flitting among flowers!
Instead of taking the hits head-on, she used her precise footwork to dodge and block.
Her movements were concise and efficient.
Every sidestep, every slide, every parry with forearm wrapped in chakra.
This is a perfect combination of three years of hellish physical training and medical ninjutsu for ultimate control over the human body!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The dull sound of impact continued.
Banner's punches either missed, leaving a large crater in the ground, or were easily deflected or blocked by Sakura.
Sakura's power seemed unfathomable; every seemingly effortless block made Banner feel his arm go numb and his blood surge.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
Banner grew increasingly alarmed and frustrated as the fight progressed!
His strength and defense, which he was so proud of, seemed so clumsy and laughable in front of this woman!
The other party is like an unshakeable mountain, and also like a slippery eel!
He possessed immense strength, yet he couldn't even touch the hem of the other's clothes!
What's even more terrifying is that the other party's effortless demeanor made it seem as if they were just toying with him!
"Is all you can do just charge around like a wild boar?"
During the brief moment of dodging, Sakura coldly mocked, then lightly leaped into the air, avoiding Banner's sweeping, powerful kick.
The powerful wind generated by the heavy leg plowed a deep furrow into the riverbed.
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Banner has completely lost his mind.
The task entrusted to me by Lord Huang Quan, my own dignity, the humiliation of being so mocked by a woman...
A torrent of emotions burned his reason like poisonous fire.
He knew that if things continued like this, he might not only fail to complete the mission, but he might also perish here!
"You forced me to do this!!"
Banner let out a beastly roar, his eyes turning bloodshot!
He abruptly stopped his attack and, in an extremely bizarre and brutal manner, plunged his hands into his own abdomen!
A sickening tearing sound rang out! Banner's hands had actually ripped open his own stomach!
Blood and fragments of internal organs gushed out instantly!
But he didn't care at all; instead, a twisted and fanatical smile appeared on his face!
He stirred his hands inside his abdomen and suddenly pulled out a long, wriggling worm that emitted a strong, fishy stench and violent chakra!
This is precisely the source of his power—
A type of insect implanted into the body through a special secret technique, which feeds on flesh and chakra and in turn provides powerful strength!
"For Lord Huang Quan!!"
Banner let out a hysterical roar and ripped the still-wriggling worm off its skin with a violent jerk of his hands!
A dark green, viscous liquid containing extremely high-density chakra spurted out like pus and blood!
Under the horrified gazes of everyone.
Banner opened his gaping maw like a wild beast drinking poison to quench its thirst.
Greedily and frantically, it swallowed the insect fluid containing violent energy, along with the broken fragments of the insect nest, all at once!
"Gurgle... gurgle... Ughh ...
A piercing, terrifying scream erupted from deep within Banner's throat!
His body began to swell wildly, like an inflated balloon!
Muscles bulged out like rocks, tearing through already tattered clothes!
His skin quickly turned the color of a lifeless rock, appearing as a dull, lifeless gray-black!
Strange, crimson lines that resemble flowing lava.
Like living things, they emerged and spread beneath his ashen skin, covering his entire body!
His head grew larger, and hot white steam billowed from his mouth and nose.
His teeth became sharp like fangs, and his entire appearance transformed into that of a rock troll crawling out of the abyss of hell!
A chakra storm far more violent than before exploded outwards from Banner!
An even more powerful shockwave swept the surrounding rocks and mud high into the air!
The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, forming an even larger, spiderweb-like pit!
"Power...infinite power!! Hahahaha!!"
Banner's voice became like a broken gong, filled with madness and a destructive desire.
His eyes, now completely filled with blood and chaos, were fixed on Sakura, who remained calm in front of him.
"Die, you insect!!"
With a powerful stomp, the ground beneath his feet exploded!
His entire being transformed into a gray-black torrent of destruction, carrying a terrifying aura capable of crushing everything, and charged towards Sakura once again!
The speed is several times faster than before!
The enormous fist, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, was aimed directly at Sakura's head!
The power of this punch is enough to flatten a small hill!
"Lord Shion!"
Ashiho rushed towards Shion with all her might.
He could even "see" the prophecy of himself being crushed.
Kusuna and Setsuna's eyes flashed with excitement and cruelty.
They believed that in this state, Banner was unstoppable! The witch was within their grasp!
However, faced with this devastating attack, Sakura made a move that surprised everyone, including the crazed Banner.
She did not dodge.
