Military Dao Killing Fist, Rapid Bullet Fist!

Bang!

Just as the countless Little Blacks were about to go berserk.

A tall figure suddenly appeared behind Shimomura Izumi.

A hand chop struck the back of her neck.

Shimomura Izumi's vision went black, and she collapsed unconscious.

The Torrent Phenomenon that had appeared because of her also dissipated.

Sato watched Bai Xing, who had appeared beside Shimomura Izumi, with great interest.

Only when a Fruit Core appeared in Bai Xing's palm did his expression change.

Bai Xing had arrived nearby long before Nagai began fighting Sato.

He had wanted to see what the two were capable of, so he had stayed hidden.

Unfortunately, even after a month of intense special training, Nagai was still no match for Sato. His limbs had been shattered, reducing him to a human stump.

In the end, Nagai's only advantage was his protagonist halo.

Compared with Sato, that nobody's pedigree was far too impure!

Bai Xing had originally been planning to intervene.

But he had not expected such an unexpected gain.

The pain Shimomura Izumi felt, so profound it seemed to seep into her bones, like a cuckoo crying blood, showed Bai Xing her potential as an investment.

Although Shimomura Izumi had triggered the Torrent Phenomenon while in an extreme state of emotional turmoil, it still posed no threat to the current Sato.

So Bai Xing directly stopped her.

Under Sato and Nagai's gazes, Bai Xing placed the Fruit Core above Shimomura Izumi's head.

The Fruit Core slowly sank inside, planting itself within her soul.

"You're here to make a move against me?"

Once Bai Xing had planted the Fruit Core and turned his gaze toward Sato, Sato sensed the purpose of his visit.

"When the cricket in the jar misbehaves, it needs a little knocking into shape."

Sato's half-lidded eyes suddenly opened, and his mouth split into a wide grin.

Never before had he been as serious as he was now.

"I'm also curious whether you have the strength to qualify as my master!"

An unprecedented aura gathered around him.

Not far away, Nagai, reduced to nothing but a torso and head, widened his eyes.

So Sato had never even used his full strength when fighting him!

Yet Bai Xing seemed not to feel the savage aura Sato unleashed after getting serious at all.

He said calmly, "Sure. Come on."

Violent currents burst across Sato's body, generating an electromagnetic field around him that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

At that critical moment, waves of helicopter rotor noise came from the sky.

Outside, large numbers of armored vehicles and soldiers appeared, surrounding the area completely.

Even tanks had rolled into the city.

Several thousand troops had been deployed. It was quite the grand operation.

However, these soldiers had not been sent by the island nation's government.

They all came from the US Military bases stationed on the island nation!

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was human nature, even for the arrogant Americans.

After Bai Xing had used the Super Electromagnetic Cannon without restraint to destroy Yokota Base, killing Major General Sherman on the spot.

Although the Pentagon was furious, the generals at the other bases on the island nation were afraid.

After all, Bai Xing was not the only Second-Stage Ajin to appear on the island nation.

After Yokota Base was destroyed, the island nation's government could no longer brush off the US Military and had no choice but to disclose Nagai and Sato's information.

After studying it, the US Military's higher-ups decided to pick on the softer targets first.

They would start with Sato and Nagai. Once they uncovered the truth behind these so-called Second-Stage Ajin and could replicate their terrifying ability to manipulate electromagnetic force, they would settle the score with Bai Xing and let him know America's wrath!

Thus, after the Crisis Management Center was attacked, the US Military immediately mobilized a large force to suppress the situation.

They intended to take Nagai and Sato into custody before the island nation's government could.

But they did not know that Bai Xing was here as well, and that they were destined to kick an iron plate this time.

Boom!!

Sato acted as though he had not seen the US Military closing in around them.

He instantly erupted with his full strength!

170,000 Volt Power!

Bai Xing was clearly just standing there, with no aura emanating from him at all.

Yet Sato felt tremendous pressure, and that pressure became the driving force that pushed his power even further.

The instant he attacked, he broke past his original limit and reached a new height!

Unfortunately, he would never know that no matter how much stronger he became, he could never surpass Bai Xing.

Because as he grew stronger, the planted Fruit Core had already taken root and sprouted, absorbing his power.

What it fed back to Bai Xing and the Void Ancient Tree became nourishment.

Feeling the nourishment flow into his body, satisfaction flashed through Bai Xing's eyes.

"Very good. To show my respect, I'll greet you with my full strength as well!"

—250,000 Volt Rapid Bullet Fist!!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His fists pierced through the air like bullets fired in rapid succession.

This martial arts move, created by Bai Xing on the foundation of the Twelve-Form Fist and through using World-Shaking Wisdom to observe bullets leaving their chambers.

Possessed overwhelmingly destructive power!

The first punch came with a crack.

When Sato's fist collided with it, it was like tofu smashing into rock.

The bones in Sato's fingers shattered instantly. Pale bone fragments pierced through the flesh before turning to powder.

Yet the remaining force was not so easily diminished. The flesh of his entire palm rapidly disintegrated, while countless cracks spread upward along his hand bones.

In one-hundredth of a second, fine cracks covered his entire arm before it exploded.

Turning into countless fragments that scattered through the air.

But that was not the end.

The second punch!

This strike, carrying the tremendous piercing force of a bullet, easily penetrated the electromagnetic barrier Sato had placed around himself.

It then left a transparent hole in his abdomen, with the blood not even having time to seep out.

The third punch! The fourth punch! The fifth punch!

In less than a second, five supersonic punches landed on Sato.

Only after the final punch blew apart his head did Sato, riddled with holes and reduced to a heap of mangled flesh, collapse to the ground.

At that moment, the roar of aircraft cannons rang out from the sky, followed even by air-to-ground missiles.

The armored vehicles on the perimeter had also arrived.

Bai Xing frowned slightly. "Annoying flies!"

With a casual gesture, he formed a magnetic field barrier, blocking all the bullets and missiles outside.

Thunderous explosions erupted beside him, and towering flames engulfed the entire ruin.

Yet they could not threaten Bai Xing beneath the magnetic field barrier in the slightest.

Even Nagai, who had fallen to the ground some distance away after the Little Blacks dissipated, did not die from the attack.

Of course, that was hardly a good thing for him.

Because death meant rebirth.

Not dying meant he would have to remain a human stump.

Experiencing the explosions up close, Bai Xing, whose mood had initially been disturbed, suddenly remembered something.

If he wanted to continue developing his Firearm Xingyi Quan and replicate the process through which he had comprehended the Rapid Bullet Fist, he needed to experience the power of more firearms.

He had even been thinking of creating the legendary Nuclear Explosion Fist before!

But before that, he could first create martial arts such as the Machine Gun Fist, High-Speed Cannon Fist, Bai Xing Explosive Fist, and so on.

With just the Takahashi Syndicate, a criminal organization, it would not be easy to satisfy his needs.

He could seize this opportunity and have these Americans provide him with free ammunition for his enlightenment.

Wait.

Firearm Xingyi Quan was too long and too ugly a name.

What should he call it instead?

Guns and cannons are military dao, and fists are meant for killing.

"So the martial arts techniques derived from this shall be called—Military Dao Killing Fist!"
