Peril in the Sky
The tremors subsided, the snowflakes scattered, and the ground was littered with corpses and blood. Ye Chen stood before the Corrupt King, ignoring him.
"Boy, who are you?!"
With a furious expression, the Corrupt King glared, his eyes radiating murderous intent.
"Your men are here to arrest you!"
"You're in the Navy!"
The Corrupt King's expression changed, and his Observation Haki spread out. When he realized that Ye Chen was alone, he revealed a cold smile.
"Just you alone? Did the Navy send you here to die?"
No matter how you look at it, Ye Chen is not in danger. Putting aside his physical body, the Corrupt King is only two heads taller than Ye Chen. Most importantly, Ye Chen is too young.
Ye Chen picked at his ear, not taking the Corrupt King's contempt to heart.
"A single navy dares to attack me, the Corrupt King Abaro Pizarro? It seems that my lack of trouble with the navy lately has led to many misunderstandings about me!"
Raising his three-barreled pistol, the Corrupt King pointed it at Ye Chen. "Since that's the case, I'll kill you first, and then go play with the navy!"
"Whoosh! Puff! Bang!"
Sparks flew and a whooshing sound came, like Inazuma in the night sky, arriving in the blink of an eye!
Sand flew everywhere, and bullets struck the wall, leaving craters; but Ye Chen's figure had long since vanished.
The ground shattered, Ye Chen appeared in front of the Corrupt King, leaping high into the air and delivering a knee strike straight to the Corrupt King's chin.
The air currents swirled, and the immense force collided violently. Ye Chen frowned, noticing that the Corrupt King's right hand, black as a fan, was blocking his way.
With his head held high, the Corrupt King Backslide due to the immense force, his right foot sinking deep into the ground. The three-barreled pistol in his other hand spewed countless tongues of fire as he charged toward Ye Chen at point-blank range.
Armament Haki covered his chest, Ye Chen grunted, and quickly disappeared into the distance, his face somewhat gloomy.
"Put-put-put"
A barrage of bullets began to spray bullets at Ye Chen, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Vanished from sight, Ye Chen reappeared above the Corrupt King, flipped over, his right foot fully Armament Haki, and slammed down.
A violent explosion caused cracks to appear all over the ground. The Corrupt King raised his right hand to block the explosion above his head, but the immense force caused his knee to slam directly into the ground.
Seeing himself kneel down on one knee, the Corrupt King's face twisted into a ferocious expression.
The barrage of bullets forced Ye Chen back once more. The Corrupt King stood up, staring intently at Ye Chen, and threw away the three-barreled pistol in his hand.
An oppressive aura began to emanate from the Corrupt King.
"Gunko, you're going to die a horrible death!"
His pupils contracted. With his Observation Haki, Ye Chen only sensed a shadow, then felt a gust of wind beside his ear. Without thinking, he crouched down.
The aura was terrifying, as if the air itself had been sucked out, creating a deafening explosion. Everything behind Ye Chen vanished instantly, the ground overturned.
With his hands on the ground, Ye Chen turned around, his feet lifting off the ground with tremendous force, and charged forcefully toward the Corrupt King's chin.
Using the same trick again, the Corrupt King bent his right hand, which was pitch black, and pressed it down hard on Ye Chen's feet. He then clenched his left fist and slammed it into Ye Chen's stomach.
Two muffled thuds, accompanied by spurting blood, followed as the Corrupt King's massive body flew through the air, spitting blood continuously, before finally crashing heavily to the ground.
Ye Chen, with his hands protecting his stomach, took the blow from the Corrupt King. Like a streak of light, he flew backward, passing through several buildings before collapsing into the ruins.
Brushing aside the soil, Ye Chen stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared grimly at the Corrupt King not far away, his head tilted back and his mouth full of blood.
"Cough cough"
A bloody tooth appeared in his palm. The Corrupt King looked at his tooth, his face like that of a vengeful ghost.
They looked up and met eyes. Almost simultaneously, walking close to the ground, they collided like cannonballs.
The violent impact ripped up the ground, causing the surrounding area to collapse; two black fists, one large and one small, pounded back and forth, each time accompanied by a deafening sound.
With his elbow slamming down, the Corrupt King roared, his left fist clenched tightly, veins bulging, as he slammed it head-on into Ye Chen.
With his feet sinking deep into the ground, the Corrupt King moved sideways, but at that moment, Ye Chen leaped high into the air, his right arm suddenly swelling, veins throbbing, like a mountain crashing down on the Corrupt King.
Gritting his teeth, the Corrupt King, his face sinister, showed no sign of backing down and once again stubbornly resisted.
In an instant, the violent impact caused a deafening explosion.
Struck hard, the Corrupt King lost his balance and flew off the Drum Mountain.
Ye Chen followed, leaving two footprints in his wake.
A massive storm surrounds the 5,000-meter-high Drum Mountain, making it extremely dangerous.
Plunging downwards, Ye Chen plummeted, his feet swiftly kicking out, two Rankyaku tearing through eardrums as they cleaved the Corrupt King below.
As they plummeted downwards, the Corrupt King looked up at Ye Chen, who was following behind. His eyes were bloodshot, and his right fist was covered in a crimson Armament Haki, still emitting smoke. He quickly threw two punches.
The impact of the airflow caused the two Rankyaku to explode before they even reached the Corrupt King.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Ye Chen suddenly appeared and kicked the Corrupt King.
Just then, the Corrupt King suddenly felt an impact beneath his feet, and instead of rising, he fell, appearing in front of Ye Chen a sinister grin.
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. He had assumed the other party wouldn't be able to stay in the air, but now it seemed he had been careless.
"Puff"
With a contorted face, Ye Chen was bent over, spitting blood continuously from his mouth. The Corrupt King did not let go of such a good opportunity. He grabbed Ye Chen's face with one hand and slammed him against the Drum Mountain. Accompanied by falling rocks, he quickly fell downwards.
A burning pain shot through his back; the friction from the rapid fall had left Ye Chen covered in blood.
Gritting his teeth and forcibly stabilizing himself, Ye Chen punched the Corrupt King in the stomach. However, the king's chest was completely Armament Haki, and he actually withstood Ye Chen's attack.
"Bang bang"
The bloodshed spurred the two on. No matter what attacks they endured, the Corrupt King refused to let go, holding Ye Chen firmly in the Drum Mountain, displaying extreme cruelty.
Forced to suppress Ye Chen by the Corrupt King, Ye Chen, his face contorted with ruthlessness, disregarded the pain in his back and abandoned all defense, launching an attack.
Armament Haki surged and roared as Ye Chen's fists relentlessly pounded against the side of the Corrupt King. The Corrupt King tried to resist with his other hand, but Ye Chen deflected it and delivered a heavy kick with his right foot.
Punch after punch, kick after kick, the Corrupt King's face contorted in pain.
"Click"
With a groan, the Corrupt King knew that his ribs were broken.
But at that moment, both of their expressions changed drastically, because the ground was already within arm's reach.
At this rate of fall, without any defenses, they would both die.
A fall from a height of 5,000 meters is no joke.
Clearly, neither of them would choose to perish together because of the other.
Almost simultaneously, the Corrupt King punched Ye Chen, and Ye Chen also punched the Corrupt King. Afterward, the two distanced themselves from each other.
However, just as the Corrupt King left Ye Chen suddenly showed a look of horror, while the Corrupt King, for some reason, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Boom"
The terrifying explosion caused unparalleled destruction, tearing a gash in the storm swirling around Drum Mountain, followed by widespread tremors, as if Meteorite had struck, causing the mountain to collapse and the earth to split.
