Explosive Smoke, Outmatched and Retreating
"Click click"
The wind and clouds changed color, thunder raged, the entire sky was darkened, and the ground was unrecognizable. The area centered on the battle was now filled with deep ravines and towering hills.
Everything has changed.
The entire island was torn apart, and suddenly, amidst the ongoing riots, a chilling atmosphere rose once again.
Amidst a vast expanse of shadow and dust, Kaido emerged somewhat disheveled, wiping the blood from his mouth. The bruises covering his body vanished rapidly, healing in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chen's pupils shifted as he looked at Kaido's incredible regenerative abilities. He stood up, shook his hands, and, feeling his dwindling strength, exhaled.
Ye Chen no longer intends to use physical techniques to fight his opponent. He has gained a lot of experience from this battle, and now all he has left is to give it his all. He wants to see if he can seriously injure his opponent by using his abilities.
Even more surprisingly, another thought popped into Ye Chen's mind—a dangerous idea to become stronger.
In a morbid world, only the crazy live better. To be ruthless to your enemies, you must first be ruthless to yourself.
Clenching his fist, Ye Chen stood proudly upright, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he stared sharply at Kaido.
With an angry expression and a demonic physique, Kaido exuded an imposing aura. His domineering will spread wildly, and with a loud bang, he attacked Ye Chen directly.
Seeing Kaido rushing towards him, Ye Chen reached out and flicked his finger. A bead of blood shot out like a bullet, forming a continuous stream that hurtled towards Kaido.
With unstoppable momentum, a single drop of blood was insignificant to Kaido, and he would disdain even a real bullet. So, without even glancing at it, he continued charging towards Ye Chen.
Like a drop of water, it exploded upon impact, billowing black smoke swirling with flames, churning up a raging storm, and transforming into a halo of light.
The force of the explosion caught Kaido off guard. His massive body was transformed into a cannonball, leaving a jumbled trench in the ground before crashing into a pile of rubble and creating a violent gust of wind.
He was covered in smoke but completely unharmed, clearly indicating that the explosion of Xuan Ye's blood had not had much effect.
This alone demonstrates just how formidable Kaido's defenses are, not even considering Armament Haki.
Despite having anticipated this, Ye Chen's expression still turned somewhat grim when he saw Kaido unharmed. Without hesitation, he knew that the explosion of a single drop of Ye Chen's blood could easily turn a radius of 50 meters into ruins, yet Kaido remained completely unscathed.
"The power of Devil Fruit is nothing special!"
Kaido looked up and stared at Ye Chen with disdain.
With a chilling gaze, Ye Chen raised his foot, unleashing two Rankyaku that sliced through the ground and hurtled towards Kaido.
Without even using Armament Haki, Kaido simply unleashed a punch that pierced through the air in front of him, causing his two Rankyaku to turn into specks of light and disappear.
But just then, Ye Chen appeared above Kaido's head, his right foot emitting black smoke and flames as he kicked out fiercely.
Armed with overwhelming Armament Haki, Kaido sensed that Ye Chen's kick was no ordinary attack, yet he still launched a powerful assault.
"Boom"
The explosion shattered eardrums, causing immense destruction. A wave of heat swept through the air, and amidst the billowing smoke, the surrounding ravaged ground was ripped up, utterly obliterating everything in its path.
Kaido Backslide a few steps, only to feel a sharp pain in his arm.
At the same time, Ye Chen lunged forward from within the black smoke, his right leg quickly recovering, and launched another attack on Kaido.
"Boom"
Another explosion, the terrifying impact of which made Kaido roar in anger, forcibly steadying himself. The veins on his thick right hand bulged as he slammed it out, actually managing to withstand the impact and force generated by the explosion of Ye Chen's right foot.
That brutal force was utterly despairing.
With a sudden whoosh, a gust of wind spread out, shaking the entire ground. A massive, ferocious body suddenly appeared in the air, its terrifying aura causing Ye Chen's hair to stand on end.
His pupils contracted as a thick fist, like a mountain range, seemed to tear through the air and came hurtling towards him.
With a sudden change of expression, Ye Chen crossed his arms and felt an immense, profound force erupting and rapidly crushing down upon him.
His right foot had only just recovered.
With a deafening explosion, a streak of light flashed across the sky and plummeted downwards.
With a deafening roar, the earth shook, a deep crater cracked open, countless boulders flew into the air, and a hill rose up.
Suddenly, a series of crimson lights appeared, and an invisible beam of light shot straight into the sky.
With a deafening roar, the entire sky erupted in chaos, a series of explosions forming a long river that swept across the sky. Kaido, spitting blood, also plummeted downwards.
Amidst billowing smoke and scorching heat at dawn, the entire site was in turmoil.
With a whoosh, the dust settled, Ye Chen slowly floated up from the deep pit, his hands hanging down, panting heavily. He looked up, his gaze fixed on the figure that resembled a demonic beast in the dust and smoke on the ground.
Similarly, Kaido's massive nine-meter-tall body, standing on the ground, resembled a dragon lying prone, its beast-like eyes staring ferociously at Ye Chen.
They stared at each other calmly, a gentle breeze blowing. Ye Chen's gaze turned cold as he swooped down. At the same time, the ground exploded, and Kaido's massive body, exuding a ferocious beast-like aura, rose from the ground. In that instant, the two eternal figures connected.
Like a falling meteor, Ye Chen's entire body was emitting black smoke and flames, hissing and swaying.
As Kaido soared into the sky, his right-hand Armament Haki erupted, shaking the very air with devastating force.
"Boom boom boom"
The moment they made contact, a blinding light illuminated everything. Ye Chen grinned maliciously at Kaido and, without hesitation, detonated his body.
The pitch-black darkness engulfed Kaido, and two rings of light rose from the towering mushroom clouds, unleashing terrifying storms that shattered the shattered islands and caused the sea to surge with monstrous waves.
A chaotic tearing, a destructive tug, the entire sky in chaos, and a gigantic figure plummeting rapidly.
"Kaido, you wait in the New World. The battle today is not over yet. I will come to you myself."
Amidst billowing black smoke and flames, Ye Chen's body gradually healed. Watching Kaido plummet, Ye Chen issued a challenge.
The ferocious aura of the demonic beast continued to erupt. Kaido, his face bloodthirsty, roared, but the impact of the explosion on Ye Chen's face prevented him from dispelling it in a short time.
With a splash, Kaido disappeared into the sea, while Ye Chen took a deep look before vanishing into the air and flying towards Bai Doudou's direction, because Ye Chen had already spotted Bai Doudou during the battle.
Afterwards, Ye Chen and Bai Doudou left and disappeared into the turbulent sea.
The island sank, and not long after Ye Chen left, Kaido burst out of the sea, his ferocious aura soaring into the sky and stirring up the entire world.
This battle left him extremely frustrated. With his Observation Haki, he sensed the departing aura. Kaido, his face contorted with rage, memorized the aura, determined to one day crush this man.
At the same time, Ye Chen and Bai Doudou returned to Huo's back, and the group disappeared from the spot.
