Killing the Bat

Long Ye's fighting instincts had triggered the Explosion Release chakra in his punch. That was what caused the massive explosion that engulfed a hundred-meter radius.

At the center of the blast!

A battered figure emerged from the dust.

The White Night Bat's wings were gone, and the deep dent in his chest was especially horrifying.

"Such... power! You attacked me while my guard was down!"

Blood poured from the bat's mouth as he struggled to speak, carrying fragments of his organs with it.

The bat's cells had evolved to an astonishing degree. Long Ye's punch had shattered his organs, yet he looked almost unfazed.

His body split open, then healed at incredible speed, over and over.

It was because of the Snake Cypress Seed he had swallowed.

"What's going on?"

A moment later, the bat sensed
