"This guy's strength has increased dramatically..."
Even though he had transformed into Shura and could fight against Chaton in his Awakening state, he almost couldn't withstand the immense force transmitted during the fight. His left arm involuntarily drooped down, and his Blood Breath flowed, rapidly clearing the blockage of qi and blood caused by the collision.
With a single strike, the two were immediately at odds. After his Awakening, Luo Chen's strength was no match for him. At least for now, before his abilities were Awakening, he was not yet able to compete with Mammon in terms of strength.
"Hehehe, so this is the power of Ancient Zoan after Awakening? As expected, its power is boundless!!"
Chaton stood aside without interfering in their battle, wanting to see just how strong Mammon was after his Awakening and whether he could defeat Luo Chen alone. Although they had only exchanged one blow, as one of the top experts on the sea, he clearly knew that Luo Chen was no match for him in terms of strength.
"Oh my god, is he finally going all out? I haven't seen him use this in ages, the last time was when we were ranking against each other!!"
Asmodeus, sitting on the magic carpet, looked at Mammon in its raging state and sighed.
"Hmm, let him handle this for now... Oh right, I forgot about Miss Gion..."
Chaton nodded upon seeing this, but then seemed to have forgotten something. After recalling it for a moment, she slapped her forehead, remembering the safety of her companion, Gion, and immediately rushed towards her.
"Miss Gion..."
Chaton rushed to the Momousagi Gion, where Luo Chen had knocked her away, leaving a large crater. By this time, she had already stood up, her breathing even, seemingly unharmed. However, she didn't rush forward. As a swordswoman, how could she possibly go up after her beloved sword, the Konpira, had been taken away by the other party?
"Miss Gion, are you alright?"
Chaton hurried over and asked with great concern.
"I'm fine, it's just Konpira..."
Momousagi shook her head and said about the food, but her gaze was focused on Luo Chen, who was fighting Mammon. A Famous Sword that gleamed coldly was stuck in his chest, but he did not pull it out. Not only did he not have time to pull it out, but he also wanted to restrain Momousagi, one of the three.
"We'll get this back later, no need to worry..."
Chaton comforted her.
"No, you don't understand, that's... Never mind, let's just keep watching..."
Momousagi shook her head, about to explain to him, but then realized that he wasn't a swordsman and couldn't possibly understand her thoughts, so she stopped talking and kept her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Chen and Mammon's every move on the battlefield.
Bang...
Clang!!
During the battle, Luo Chen did not choose to engage in a direct confrontation with his opponent. At the very first exchange, he used the recoil to retreat while simultaneously slashing with his sword.
Chant~
The Flying Slash transformed into Giant Dragon, roaring as it swooped down.
boom...
Before the Giant Dragon could even reach it, Mammon's fist exploded with power, and the Giant Dragon burst apart into fragmented Flying Slash that scattered across the ground, leaving cracks in its wake.
roar...
At this moment, Mammon's upper body transformed completely into the head of Emperor Crocodile, and he opened his jaws to bite at Luo Chen, who had landed.
"Sword technique... Piercing Might!!"
Luo Chen naturally wouldn't let him have his way. He combined his Haki, Blood Breath, and imposing presence into a single sword strike and pierced downwards.
Clang!!
The Emperor Crocodile closed its jaws, but then a Flying Slash erupted from its lower jaw, and Luo Chen broke through its jaws and walked out.
roar...
The giant crocodile's jaw, cleaved open by Luo Chen's sword, was filled with intertwined flesh that blocked the blood flow. Then, its massive mouth opened again, roaring across the sky.
Buzz...
The whistling sound condensed into a sound wave that reverberated towards Luo Chen.
"Damn it!!"
By the time Luo Chen realized something was wrong, it was too late. He saw sonic waves vibrating and rushing into his body from all directions, causing his internal organs to tremble. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately flew backward.
brush...
Mammon pursued closely, his long, thick crocodile tail sweeping out a howling Hurricane that cracked the ground wherever it passed, heading straight for Luo Chen's face.
Swoosh...
Clang!!
Sizzle sizzle... Boom!!
Luo Chen gripped the sword hilt with both hands, raised it high, and slashed down with great force.
The blades clashed, sparks flying, and then the crocodile's tail swung out and swept across the ground beside them.
With a deafening roar, the earth was swept open, creating a huge gash. Luo Chen was also thrown back several steps before managing to regain his balance.
" Shigan... Emperor Crocodile Assault!!"
Mammon stretched out his five fingers, Hardening them, and his claws flashed with cold light as he thrust them toward his chest.
Swoosh...
Clang!!
Luo Chen swung his sword diagonally, slashing away the Crocodile Claw that was thrusting at him, and then raised his sword again to stab at the crocodile's chest.
Clang!!
Luo Chen's sword pierced Mammon's chest, but the chest, which was covered in Armament Haki, only caved in slightly. Luo Chen inhaled and suddenly swung his sword, knocking both the sword and Mammon away.
laugh...
Mammon slightly bent his two hind legs, and then suddenly pushed off.
brush...
Mammon shot forward like a rocket, his scaly crocodile head slamming into Luo Chen's abdomen Vice Admiral him flying into the air.
call out...
Thump...
Mammon didn't let him go then. He kicked off again, his figure darting in and appearing in front of him in an instant, then clenched his fists and slammed down.
boom...
With a single blow, Luo Chen suddenly suffered a severe abdominal injury and slammed to the ground with a whoosh.
brush...
boom!!
Mammon was not satisfied with that. One Flash back to appear above him and punched down, causing the ground to tremble violently several times before cracking open several huge ravines, with dust billowing up.
call out...
Mammon reappeared not far away, and then, in his Awakening state, the crocodile tail behind him suddenly stretched out and whipped towards him.
Rumble...
Another loud crash rang out, and the spot where Luo Chen had fallen could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed, sending rubble tumbling down.
"Hmm, is that all?"
Chaton frowned and asked.
"No, take another look..."
Momousagi, who was standing nearby, stared intently at that spot for a moment before shaking her head and speaking.
"Huh?! This is... he's still alive? He's really lucky!!"
Upon hearing Momousagi's words, he shifted his gaze, activated his Observation Haki, and sensed a chaotic aura emanating from amidst the billowing smoke, letting him know that the battle was not yet over.
"You're really lucky to be alive, but how long can you hold on?"
call out...
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mammon vanished in a flash.
"Die!"
Mammon swung his claws and slashed.
Swoosh...
Clang!!
Blood trickled from the corner of Luo Chen's mouth as he blocked the attack with his sword. A sword rang out, and a surge of energy rippled outwards.
"Heh, of course it'll continue until you die..."
Luo Chen laughed heartily, then his eyes narrowed, and he used his sword to knock away Mammon's Crocodile Claw. Armament Haki enveloped the sword, and he slashed forward fiercely.
Clang!!
Sizzle sizzle... Boom!!
The blade slashed at him, sending sparks flying, before finally breaking through his defenses and slicing open his ribs on the side of his abdomen.
The leather armor was torn open, revealing bloody muscle and white bone underneath.
"Ouch... that hurts... get away from me!!"
Mammon felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and immediately clenched his fist and punched Luo Chen in front of him.
"This won't do... Cut it off!!"
Luo Chen smiled calmly, his face becoming even more crazed, and then, empowered by his abilities, he swung his sword with great force.
Clang!!
boom!!
Mammon's scales shattered, his bones broke, and his muscles split open.
However, Luo Chen also took the blow head-on, flying backward and crashing to the ground, instantly creating a large crater.
brush...
Luo Chen did not succumb to despair. He stood up, swung his sword, and slashed through the smoke and dust in front of him. Looking at the wounds on his opponent's body that could not heal in a short time, he laughed even more.
"Hahaha, now the outcome will be decided..."
