Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

A group of strange people burst into laughter: "Haha, how about that? Terrified by this number? Saitama, today is your doomsday."

Ignoring the clamor of these small fry, Saitama said in a trance, "Can any of you emit light? It's so dark on the ground! I can't see you very well."

"Heh, want to see things clearly before you die? Let me grant your wish! I hope you won't be scared."

A short, stocky, one-eyed monster pressed down on the horn on the top of his head, and a beam of light, like a searchlight, shot out from his single eye, illuminating the hideous appearances of hundreds of other monsters around him.

These strange people have all sorts of appearances. Some look like rhinoceroses, snakes, or hedgehogs, while others resemble octopuses, lizards, mud, insects, or crows. It's practically an exhibition of rare and exotic animals.

Looking at these monsters who seemed like demons and ghosts ready to devour anyone they wanted, Saitama remained calm and composed.

"Thanks for the lighting. You're quite useful. I'll keep you here for a while." Saitama clenched his fist, his expression changed, and his style became sharp.

"Alright, now it's time for the big clean-up!"

Chapter 247 Martial Arts Conflict

After Saitama fell to the bottom of the pit, several minutes passed without any new heroes falling down.

Genos and Bang, who jumped down right after Saitama, were intercepted by Gouketsu halfway down.

The hero hid in the middle of the pit, and when Genos landed in his position, he suddenly launched an attack, kicking Genos to the edge of the pit's rocks.

Then, using the same trick again, he punched Bangu into the rocks as well.

"A cyborg, a martial arts master, and two S-class heroes as opponents should be enough to test my strength."

Hero gripped the stone wall with one hand while observing Genos and Bang.

The two men, who had been suddenly attacked, broke free from the rocks, their faces turning pale.

"This strange person is very strong and also very good at concealing his aura. My detector did not detect his attack at all."

"His attacks incorporated martial arts techniques; this opponent is indeed formidable."

Haojie's ears twitched, and he looked at Bang, introducing himself: "When I was a human, I won the first martial arts tournament. Back then, Bang, you were one of the tournament's judges."

Banggu was startled and asked in surprise, "The champion of the first martial arts tournament? Could you be Haojie, the genius who created the Haojia-ryu style of boxing? How did you become like this? How did a promising newcomer to the martial arts world become a weirdo?"

Haojie laughed and said, "A promising newcomer, haha, so old man Bang Gu thinks so highly of me."

Haojie laughed for a while, then his expression turned cold: "Back then, when I won the tournament, I was full of arrogance and overestimated myself by challenging a certain monster. In the end, I failed and was captured. The monster didn't kill me; instead, he took me to the Monster Association. After being enlightened by the association's Great Eye, I understood..."

“Understand what?” Bang asked, frowning.

"Human abilities have limits. I learned one thing from my short martial arts career... It is impossible to surpass human limits and gain the power to defeat everything by relying solely on martial arts... Unless you transcend the limitations of the human species... So I stopped being human."

Bang said with great distress, "No, you have gone astray, not surpassed your limits... Humans cultivate martial arts by climbing to the peak, and the closer you get to the peak, the more difficulties and obstacles you encounter... You have become a monster, seemingly gaining great power easily, but you are walking down a downhill road to the abyss, and what awaits you at the end will surely devour everything you have."

Haojie scoffed at this, saying, "It's that same old cliché again. The end of becoming a monster isn't the abyss. Becoming a monster is a form of evolution, where the strong replace the weak. We monsters are the new humans who replace the old humans."

Hero didn't want to continue the discussion with Bang. He wasn't there to argue; he wanted to crush these two heroes and test his strength.

With a loud shout, the hero unleashed his fist technique and charged towards Bangu.

Genos rushed to Bang first: "Old man, let me handle this guy."

The engine behind him spewed flames, giving him a maneuvering advantage even on this cliffside terrain where he was neither in the sky nor on the ground.

Faced with a fist from a hero that was bigger than a millstone, Genos met it head-on with a punch.

"High-voltage current punch"

His fist was crackling with lightning, the hydraulic rod propelling the fist, and the engine in his elbow turning fuel into thrust, amplifying the impact and slamming it hard into the hero's finger bones.

Click!

The hero's finger bones didn't break, but Genos's arm was reduced to scattered parts.

A 100,000-volt high-voltage current raged through Haojie's body, but he completely ignored it.

"Is this the power of an S-class hero, a cyborg? How weak. You believe in the power of steel but deny the power of flesh and blood. You are not worthy to be my opponent."

With a powerful side kick, the leg, as thick as a hotel lobby pillar, slammed into Genos like a truck, shattering his body and embedding him deeply into the rock wall.

"How could this be? I couldn't even withstand one of his moves." Genos spat out a mouthful of engine oil, a deep sense of defeat welling up inside him once again.

Compared to Genos, who has undergone multiple upgrades in the original work, the current Genos hasn't even defeated a Deep Sea King, and may not even be able to. Therefore, it's not surprising that he would be instantly defeated when facing a more powerful hero.

“The troublesome guy should be unable to move by now, Bang, it’s time for our showdown.”

Bang watched Genos's defeat without showing any emotion. He assumed the stance of the Flowing Rock Smash Fist on the rock wall, his eyes fixed on Gouketsu.

"If you won't make a move, then I'll strike first."

"Heroic Dragon Fist"

Hero pushed off the rock wall with his feet, his body shooting out with the reaction force, his arms outstretched, his body spinning like a drill, hurtling towards Bangu.

Bang pressed one hand down and raised the other, as if guiding a stream of water, catching the spinning Bakusan and directing his power to blast it against the rock wall beside him.

Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist - Flowing Water Formation

This is a defensive technique that deflects or neutralizes all attacks within the reach of both hands.

Faced with the monstrous strength of a powerful dragon, Bang wisely chose not to take the hit head-on.

He's old and frail, and in a pure strength contest, he might not be a match for Genos. Given Genos's experience, how could he possibly repeat the same mistake?

The hero's powerful Dragon Fist slammed into the rock wall on one side, blasting a spiral tunnel through the hard rock wall as if it had been pierced by a tunnel boring machine.

After using the Flowing Water Formation to neutralize Haojie's attack, Bang seized the opportunity and thrust his palm into the area below Haojie's third rib.

That's where Gouketsu's heart is. Even with his monstrous body's strong defenses, if Bang hits a vital point directly, he won't feel good.

Hero immediately responded, his legs transforming into scissors like dragons, aiming to cut Bang's waist.

Bang Gu secretly admired Hao Jie's keen intuition and abandoned the idea of ​​piercing Hao Jie's heart with a hand chop imbued with the power of the Heavenly River.

Bangu resumed his offensive stance.

Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist - Water Fang Formation

He pinched his two fingers together, like a bird's beak.

Bang quickly approached Haojie, his movements as unpredictable as flowing water. In an instant, he passed through Haojie's interception and reached out his hand towards Haojie's eyes.

The hero raised his arms to protect his head.

Bang passed him by, tearing a large chunk of flesh from the hero's arm between his two fingers.

"Instant Water and Fang Strike, Bang, I know all about your Water Flow Rock Smash Fist. You wanted to use Water Fang Formation to blind me, am I right?" Haojie laughed, his arm muscles twitching, sealing off blood vessels and stopping the bleeding.

"Hmm? You're an outsider, yet you know my boxing style?"

"Of course, because I've always watched human martial arts tournaments. There was this guy wearing a wolf head mask who gave a complete performance of your school's boxing style on TV! Thanks to him, I was able to understand the essence of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist!"

“It’s Hungry Wolf!” Bang sighed. “What a troublesome disciple.”

"Bang, I've already figured out your fighting style. You have no chance of defeating me." Gouketsu continued to laugh. "But I'm different. After becoming a monster, I've completely perfected the 'Gouga-ryu Kenpo.' Now, let me show you!"

The hero's muscles rippled and writhed, as if a python were slithering under his skin.

He gathered all his strength, his five fingers slightly bent like dragon teeth, and threw a punch that compressed the air into an illusory dragon shape.

"My Dragon Slayer Fist!"

Faced with an astonishingly powerful attack, Bang calmly replied, "So what if you know my Flowing Rock Smashing Fist? When did you get the misconception that I only know one style of fist?"

Bangu's clothes ripped off in an instant, and his thin, scarred body erupted with terrifying blood energy.

He swept his arms across, striking a pose quite different from the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist.

"Explosive Heart Liberation Fist"

In that instant, Bang's style changed drastically. The old man, who was as calm and composed as flowing water, seemed to have instantly regained his youth and become an unruly, arrogant, and unrestrained young man.

The Exploding Heart Release Fist was a ruthless move he created during his unruly youth.

With this punch, he even earned the name "Blood Wind" in the martial arts world.

Bang was later reformed by his brother Bomb and sealed away this extremely powerful fist technique. Now, facing the monster-like Gouketsu, he has no choice but to use it again.

The Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist is a defensive style of boxing.

But the Heart-Burning Liberation Fist is the true killing fist.

Bang poured all his internal energy into the Exploding Heart Release Fist, which collided fiercely with Gouketsu's 'Gouketsu Dragon Killing Fist'.

boom!

Bang was sent flying backward, his arm was broken, and his body was pierced through by the dragon-shaped energy, his bones cracking and breaking.

In contrast, the hero only staggered slightly and suffered no other injuries.

Failed?

Haojie laughed loudly: "These are the other boxing techniques you've mastered? Weak, weak, utterly weak! You didn't even manage to hurt me!"

Embedded in the stone wall, Bang, his head bleeding, smiled: "Really, I didn't hurt you? Has your body become dull after turning into a monster?"

The hero's laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression suddenly became indescribably wonderful.

A sensation of itching, numbness, and pain spread continuously along the spot where Bang had struck.

"What's going on? My body is injured... This power... Stop... Damn it, stop it now."

Where Bang's fist made contact, a force like an electric current spread from his arm throughout his body, gradually converging at his heart.

The power of the Heavenly River Internal Force and the Explosive Heart Liberation Fist coursed through Haojie's body, wreaking havoc on his meridians, blood vessels, and muscles.

Haojie looked terrified, scratching his chest and desperately pounding himself to cut off the blood flow and block his meridians, but he could not stop the destructive force within his body.

When the internal force and the power of the Exploding Heart Release Fist were all gathered in his heart, Haojie's body swelled up strangely. His face was blank and his body was still. The next second, he was like a bomb, exploding from his heart. His limbs and head were blown off, and blood splattered several feet away.

The hero is dead!

Even in his dying moments, his four eyes remained wide open in anger, as if he were filled with resentment and couldn't understand why he had been defeated by Bang.

Banggu seemed to know Haojie's unwillingness and sighed, "Rest in peace, Haojie. You will lose to me because you chose an easy path and abandoned the principles of a martial artist!"

Chapter 248 Luo Yan and Boros

The battle between Luo Yan and Boros went from the desolate land to the skies above City A, and then from the skies above major cities to the vast grasslands and the snow-capped mountains.
