"Ahhhhh!" Saburo crazily shouted and rushed towards Nero. He quickly arrived in front of Nero and punched out, releasing a wave of strong wind that sent Nero flying backward.
Right before Nero could hit a stone wall, Saburo appeared behind him and punched out again, using the same attack. Saburo's pattern of attack raged on, and in the twinkle of an eye, Nero was bombarded by series of attacks. The strong wind from Saburo's attacks interweaved, forming a tornado that suspended Nero in the air while wreaking havoc on his body.
Saburo's assault lasted for a while, before coming to an end. Nero who had been at the center of this concentrated attack dropped lifelessly to the ground. But… right before Nero could hit the ground he suddenly regained consciousness, directly landing on his two legs. Nero looked to be in a sorry state but the look on his face said otherwise. The amount of blood Nero lost was able to make an average martial artist die almost instantly. But he just stood there… like an immovable mountain.
Saburo could see that Nero was bleeding profusely, and even he didn't think it was possible to survive a concentrated attack like that! But even with all the injuries and blood loss, it was nonetheless evident that Nero was surging with energy! The Qi within his body roared like a thunderstorm, and erupted like a raging tsunami!
Bang!!
Nero's power instantly rose to another level! The air around him shifted, creating a vacuum that spread dozens of feet around him. Saburo's face instantly turned ugly; he felt the rise in Nero's power. Taking a few steps back, Saburo sucked in a cold breath as beads of sweat formed on his forehead, things had escalated to such a terrifying point! He initially thought that dealing with Nero wouldn't take much effort. Even though killing him might not be possible, subduing him, to say the least, wasn't so far-fetched.
Gritting his teeth, Saburo subdued the rising fear in his heart and lunged forward.
Nero coldly snorted standing firm in his position, "This dog will bite you to death."
Saburo quickly closed the gap between them as he struck out his fist. Just when Saburo was inches away from hitting Nero, Nero quickly parried the incoming fist and countered with a kick to Saburo's abdomen. Saburo vomited a great deal of blood and was about to be thrown backward by the force when he was caught in the arm by Nero. Nero pulled Saburo back while simultaneously striking a palm to his chest, then his face…. Palm, after palm, after palm, Nero continuously assaulted Saburo, leaving visible dents on his body.
Nero finally stopped his rain of attacks and flung Saburo away like a rag doll. Saburo crashed into a stone wall, his overall condition was terrible. He had palm prints and dents on his body with blood gushing from the seven orifices of his face; this was without a doubt pitiful.
"I told before, that I was going to flatten your base if you didn't kill me. You dare take from me and be arrogant in my presence!? You only have yourself to blame."
Nero's words were arrows that hit an open wound. This was Saburo's fear at the moment…. Is he really strong enough to destroy everything?
Nero took slow steps as he approached Saburo; the dust hadn't settled yet so he couldn't properly see Saburo's current state. Separated by about 100 feet, Nero saw atop Saburo's palm a small porcelain orb that exuded a dim white light.
"Transmission orb?..." Nero said as he looked at the orb.
"I see…. So you called more friends over, what does it change? I'll kill all of you at once."
The porcelain orb in Saburo's hand was a sound transmission orb. Saburo had summoned backup to help deal with Nero, or at least stall Nero till he recovered from his wounds. Nero spread his perception covering a wide range. He locked unto over 100 martial artists rushing towards his position; each releasing a thick wave of killing intent.
Nero sensed them and coldly snorted, "Numbers mean nothing against true strength…"
As Nero said this, Saburo's eyes suddenly lit up. He could sense a large mass of Qi taking form above the mountain. Directly above the mountain, the wind howled and churned violently, bringing with it an enormous power that shook the earth. At the center of this raging wind, two beady green lights glistened like the eyes of a war god.
Saburo stared at Nero in awe and fear; his threats were no joke! He stared in regret as Nero calmly walked towards him, not minding the other martial artists that were charging at him. He had made a great enemy today, and he had no time to regret his mistake; he would undoubtedly die here today.
Nero calmly took steps towards Saburo, "Against true strength, you can only lower your head…. You all can go die!"
"Wind dragon retribution!!"
Instantly after Nero's voice fell, the giant wind storm that formed over the mountain transformed into what looked like a dragon that brandished its claws and bore its fangs, and came crashing down on the mountain.
Boom!!!!
The mountain came crashing down instantly; it already showed signs of collapsing during Nero and Saburo's continuous fierce collisions. It didn't take anything for the mountain to turn into a pile of rocks and rubble. The Black Dragon mountain that towered for thousands of meters was now nothing but piles of rocks. Wide cracks spread for hundreds of kilometers causing the nearby swaths of land to cave in several kilometers deep. All that was left now were dust, sand, and rocks. The entire Black Dragon squad had been annihilated!
Pulling back a giant boulder, Nero dug himself out from within the pile of ruins; his overall condition wasn't any better. His clothes were tattered and torn in many places, blood flowed down his head, and he looked as pale as paper, but his expression didn't look anything like he was in pain.
He clenched his fists and sighed bitterly, "Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm…"
