Boom!
Bang!
Crackling!!
In less than a minute, Netero, with the awareness of certain death, both sides exchanged thousands of punches and hand strikes.
The battle inside the hollow underground space sparked countless flashes of light.
However, sadly, the time of defeat had arrived.
The tiniest preference for a move, habitual actions, and tendencies were once again caught by the Ant King.
As the Ant King himself said, he swiftly darted past Netero at lightning speed.
As he missed Netero's body, there was a faint plop sound, and a shower of blood rained down, and Netero's left arm was sent flying into the air.
After this exchange, the Ant King nonchalantly sat back down on the ground.
This time, it was clear that the outcome had been decided.
"Now, you can't even use your ability. Shouldn't you admit defeat?"
The Ant King said calmly while sitting cross-legged: "Say my name."
He felt that, given the circumstances, continuing to struggle would be meaningless.
After Netero's left arm was severed, the so-called Guanyin Bodhisattva, which could deliver countless hand strikes, could no longer perform the necessary action.
In other words, the key condition for using this Nen ability had been broken; Netero could no longer use it.
Of course, this was only the Ant King's perspective. He was certain that Netero had no chance of turning the tide, and the battle was already over.
However…
"Ant King..."
Standing on one leg, Netero suddenly smiled slightly. "You think that without my arm, I can no longer pray?"
"The so-called prayer is the work of the heart..."
From his tracksuit, Netero pulled out a small gray-green bean, inconspicuous and seemingly ordinary.
Crack!
Without hesitation, Netero used his remaining right hand to toss the small bean into his mouth.
Gulp…
After a few chews, the bean was swallowed.
"Hmm?!"
The Ant King's expression instantly became serious. "Your aura..."
Under the Ant King's clear perception, the aura surrounding Netero had changed drastically again!
The physical strength and aura that had been nearly depleted were all instantly restored after Netero consumed the small bean.
Even more, it was as if it had been heightened back to his peak condition.
At that moment, except for the already severed leg and arm, everything about Netero, his body, aura, and state, had been fully restored to its most perfect form in an instant.
The overflowing surge of aura made even the Ant King take a second look.
Naturally, what caught his attention more was the small gray-green bean Netero had consumed.
Despite the long battle and Netero's obvious exhaustion, this inconspicuous little bean had reversed everything.
To rejuvenate an aging martial artist like this…
"Surprised?"
As if sensing the Ant King's fluctuating emotions, Netero, despite being worn out, flashed a grin.
"When I first got this little thing and tried it out, I had the same expression as you."
"Truly an amazing thing..."
Feeling the energy surging within him again, Netero sighed with great emotion.
At this moment, he felt completely refreshed.
In the face of imminent danger, to be restored to peak condition, there was no better feeling than this right now.
"Although it can't restore my hand and leg, nor make me younger, I am content with this..."
Netero muttered, though his slightly regretful expression betrayed a tinge of his thoughts.
If only he could truly face the Ant King at his peak, perhaps the situation would have been entirely different…
"However, to reach this point, this is already enough..."
Netero smiled lightly, placing one palm in front of his chest.
"When the mind correctly visualizes the form, it will transform into thought."
"With a thought comes fruition..."
As he softly spoke, the golden Guanyin Bodhisattva, glowing with multicolored light, appeared again.
This time, however, it appeared behind the Ant King!
Slap!!
The golden arms wrapped around the Ant King without resistance!!
It wasn't that the Ant King couldn't resist, but that he simply couldn't.
Netero, having fused the essence of his entire martial arts mastery, delivered his final lesson.
The 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared behind the enemy, and no matter whether the enemy agreed or not, they would be gently enveloped by both palms.
This attack, which combined aura and spiritual belief, was Netero's final blow, the culmination of all his strength!!
The massive golden Guanyin Bodhisattva statue, with tears streaming down its face, suddenly erupted with a blinding, star-like light, firing a dazzling burst toward the enemy trapped in its palms!!
"Zero Hand!!"
This was Netero's final, compassionate roar, the last move of the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva!!
Boom!!!
As the aura poured out like a tsunami, everything around was instantly flattened.
Countless walls, floors, and rocks shattered as if made of paper, collapsing under a gust of wind!
Dust and smoke enveloped the entire underground space.
Only Netero's bright eyes remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, at the entrance above, a figure looked up at the dazzling light rising into the sky while smiling lightly.
