Once the Ant King gets serious, the sheer amount of aura he unleashes is truly unmatched.
However, even at this stage, he still doesn't want to take Chairman Netero's life. He just wants to defeat him and make him submit.
Clearly, Netero, on the opposite side, also felt the pressure from the Ant King. He quickly clasped his hands together again.
Then, almost simultaneously, he leaped into the air.
Buzz!!
Golden light erupted, illuminating the dark night sky, with Netero's figure flickering in and out of view within it.
Even with the most meticulous observation, the only thing visible was Netero's raised foot and his two hands held upright in front of his chest.
Netero slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of deep thought before the battle officially began.
At this time, he couldn't help but recall: When did he start waiting for the enemy to attack first?
The current situation was reminiscent of when he had first completed his training on the mountain and descended to challenge the martial arts dojo.
Only through absolute strength and confidence would one allow the opponent to make the first move.
And how is the Ant King not like the old version of himself?!!
"100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva... Ninety-Ninth Hand!!"
In mid-air, Netero's two hands simultaneously bent, the tips of his index fingers and thumbs touching to form a circle.
The other three fingers came together, forming a hand gesture that looked like the number 9.
The two 9 gestures represented the Ninety-Ninth Hand, the ultimate technique of 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.
After Netero performed this move, nearly a hundred arms shot out like a storm, descending on the Ant King with full force!
Bang!!
The first hand descended, and the Ant King's gaze tightened as he used all his strength to resist it.
However, under this descending hand…
Boom!!
He was still struck and slammed into the ground!
Immediately after, the remaining dozens of hands followed without pause.
One hand after another fell from the sky, accurately striking him!
"When did it start again..."
Netero, who was performing the move, looked at the continuous strikes of 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva and once again thought back to earlier moments.
"When the defeated opponent bows their head and extends their hand, I would not hesitate to shake hands in friendship with them..."
"It shouldn't be like this!!"
Netero's eyes suddenly widened: "The martial arts limit I've been pursuing is..."
"To face a potentially stronger opponent, one must give everything to fight!!"
Boom!!
Crackling!!
Under the continuous storm of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, the ground was shattered, and the two of them fell into an underground palace.
Chairman Netero's fighting spirit was still strong despite his age. Standing firm after the fall, his battle intent surged: "At my age, to still face an opponent like this fills me with excitement."
He quietly waited for the smoke to dissipate, but to his surprise, the Ant King emerged from the smoke, completely unharmed.
He simply sat on the ground, calmly staring at his opponent.
"It seems my attack wasn't enough after all."
Netero couldn't help but self-deprecate: "Do you know what this place is called?"
He opened his hands again. "This is called a graveyard; of course, it's prepared for you..."
Behind him, the massive golden Guanyin Bodhisattva reappeared.
Netero reached out, and the golden Guanyin Bodhisattva also extended its hand, launching wave after wave of attacks.
With the continuous assault, the Ant King's posture no longer remained calm; he seemed increasingly disheveled.
"I am very grateful..."
Netero, calm as still water, said: "For everything I experienced before meeting you..."
His two hands even made a heart shape on his chest.
The battle had reached its boiling point.
Despite Netero's moves being elaborate and powerful, the Ant King no longer stood idly by. He evaded at high speed, attempting to get closer to Netero's body.
However, each time, he was mercilessly pushed back.
In the end, when he once again attempted to charge forward…
Smack!!
The Guanyin Bodhisattva's palms clasped together, trapping him firmly in both hands…
Bang!!
Frustrated, the Ant King began to accumulate strength, using brute force to break free.
At that moment, another powerful blow followed.
Before he could react, Netero had already charged forward.
At this point, the Ant King had compressed his perception of time to the extreme and barely managed to catch a glimpse of Netero's fast-moving afterimages.
And during this battle, an unprecedented special emotion began to stir in his heart.
It was a genuine admiration for his opponent!!
This was what made the Ant King start to seriously appreciate Netero's abilities. Through the continuous attacks, he noticed the characteristics of his opponent's techniques; Netero's speed was far beyond his own.
In any battle, any unnecessary movement could lead to death.
But it was this seemingly unnecessary hand gesture that turned into a powerful weapon capable of defeating him.
"Why can such a mere human comprehend such advanced martial arts?"
"That's not something someone can reach through simple thinking..."
"This human... Must have invested a crazy amount of time…"
"Five years, ten years... Perhaps even longer..."
"Only with complete focus on research can one master this technique..."
After being struck down again, the Ant King slowly stood up from the smoke, speaking once more: "You spent a long time practicing to improve your abilities, and the result you achieved..."
"I have already comprehended it."
The dust from his body was the best proof.
But what made Netero couldn't help but raise his eyebrows was...
"After so many blows, he was almost unscathed..."
"Well, it's just as I thought."
Netero's expression remained calm, and the Ant King slowly spoke: "This is a realm that surpasses the limits of training..."
