Faced with Qi Wu's almost playful fighting style.
The Black Ape King grew more frustrated and alarmed with every exchange.
The strength it took such pride in seemed to have little effect against this human.
Although its opponent's attacks could not seriously injure it yet, they always struck where it hurt, leaving it unable to bring its strength to bear.
Even more irritating was how this human seemed able to predict its every move, always neutralizing its attacks with minimal effort.
"Roar! (Annoying fly!)"
The Black Ape King roared furiously and threw its arms wide, recklessly sweeping them around Qi Wu in an attempt to crush him in the most primitive way possible!
A sharp glint flashed in Qi Wu's eyes. Rather than dodge, he ducked low and slipped like a fish through the gap between the Black Ape King's closing arms, instantly drawing close to its completely exposed chest and abdomen.
"Had enough?" Qi Wu's voice came from right in front of it.
Alarm bells blared in the Black Ape King's mind. It tried to draw its arms back to defend, but it was already too late.
A layer of pitch-black, lightning-like light suddenly gathered and compressed around Qi Wu's right fist, poised against the Black Ape King's abdomen!
"Try a critical hit from my basic attack!"
Qi Wu laughed.
By compressing cursed energy to its absolute limit and perfectly synchronizing it with the moment of impact, he produced a critical hit far more powerful than an ordinary strike.
[Black Flash]!!!
BANG-!!!
A deafening impact!
Qi Wu's fist, wreathed in black lightning, slammed squarely into the Black Ape King's abdomen, which was far harder than steel!
Time froze at that instant.
The Black Ape King's crimson eyes flew wide, filled with utter horror and agony.
The next second-
"Bleurgh-!!!"
