"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being harsh!"
As Fang Mo's voice rose in frantic frustration, a massive spherical repulsion field suddenly appeared amidst the dust. Accompanied by a rapidly expanding shockwave, everything—from the trees to the dust—vanished without a trace, even leaving a large pit in the ground.
Within this deep pit, Fang Mo stood, frowning unhappily.
"Damn it, why do ninjas always like playing 'Thousand Year Blood War?"
Fang Mo first complained, then subconsciously reached down to rub his... pants.
Because Fang Mo shared Steve's defensive power and was wearing armor made of a crystal matrix material, Sonic's attack was definitely unable to penetrate his defense.
Although it did not breach the defense, the feeling was still very disgusting.
Meanwhile, Sonic, who had retreated to a distance, was also shaken to the core.
He stared blankly at the ninja sword in his hand, broken in half, at a loss for words.
One should know that although his sword was not a divine artifact of the ninja village, it was still forged from special steel. Just moments ago, Sonic had used it to launch an attack, instantly beheading dozens of members of the Paradise Group. How could such a sturdy weapon break after just one stab?
Sonic knew that attacking that spot was shameful, but ninja assassinations only valued efficiency, not whether the methods were underhanded.
This move was also developed by the ninja village based on the principle of hyenas targeting vulnerabilities.
But this supposedly unbeatable killing move had failed.
"What the hell kind of steel is this?"
"You..."
Thinking this, Sonic hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you?"
"I should be the one asking you that," Fang Mo replied, lifting his head to look at Sonic with annoyance. "Is this how you behave as a disciple? I kindly wanted to teach you ninjutsu... and you end up stabbing me?"
"Teach me ninjutsu?"
Sonic was stunned. "Are you also a ninja from the ninja village? Which batch are you from?"
"That's not important. Just kneel down and kowtow three times right now," Fang Mo said with a wave of his hand. "If you do it sincerely, I might just forgive you for your earlier disrespect..."
However, upon hearing this, Sonic let out a cold laugh.
"Heh, so you're an arrogant one."
Sonic's expression suddenly turned darker. "Although you do have some skills, I absolutely will not allow anyone to see through my moves."
"So you still want to fight?" Fang Mo shrugged and casually took a burlap sack from Steve's hand. "Alright, young man, show your weapon..."
"The move I've been perfecting since my youth was easily seen through by you, an unforgivable act. I will not forgive you." Sonic had not yet grasped the severity of the situation. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and then, like a ghost, he appeared behind Fang Mo.
"No matter who you are, don't think you can escape..."
But before Sonic could finish his stern words, Fang Mo suddenly reached back and grabbed his left arm.
"What..."
Sonic's pupils shrank as he wondered how Fang Mo could move so fast.
"Oh, gotcha."
Fang Mo's face broke into a pleased smile, then he swung the other hand holding the burlap sack in a circle and fiercely smashed it into Sonic's face.
The sack, struck by the immense force, burst open with a pop.
The dreamlike powder inside scattered into the air, instantly enveloping Sonic's body.
"Tit for tat."
After seeing the powder scatter, Fang Mo then smiled and released his hand, saying, "You just fed me dust, now it's my turn to feed you a mouthful."
"Cough...cough cough..."
From the midst of the dust, came Sonic's disheveled coughing, "What... what is this stuff..."
Quickly, he staggered out of the cloud of dust, but unlike the handsome ninja he was before, he had completely transformed into a different creature.
He had become a creature entirely different from before, a person no more; emerging from the dust, he wasn't even humanoid anymore, having turned into an anthropomorphized blue hedgehog.
Yes, exactly, a cartoonishly strong blue hedgehog.
Actually, if it were another world, such a bizarrely shaped humanoid blue hedgehog would be quite strange, but remember, this is the world of One Punch Man.
Creatures here are inherently bizarre and oddly shaped.
Not to mention a blue hedgehog.
Even Black Sperm, that kind of freak, exists—can you believe it?
"My... my body..."
Sonic, not weak by any means, quickly noticed the changes in himself. He looked down at his body, a human-like shock appearing on his hedgehog face: "What exactly did you do to me!?"
"Haha, just as I thought."
Seeing Sonic completely change his form, Fang Mo started laughing, "It seems my guess wasn't wrong, the Twilight Forest is indeed divine..."
Indeed, to torment this fellow.
Fang Mo had directly used the Twilight Transformation Powder on him.
He had used this powder several times before and was fairly familiar with its effects, which essentially transformed a creature into another form.
The Snow Queen originally had the form of an icy big sister.
But after Fang Mo sprinkled some Transformation powder, she changed into the form of a young girl as she is now.
However, this change shouldn't be haphazard; while the powder does retain some of the original characteristics of the characters, like the Snow Queen's cold trait, even if she's transformed into a young girl form, she is still a yuki-onna, and turning into a loli would be like Cirno, that ice fairy, but it wouldn't result in becoming an ordinary girl.
As for Sonic in front of him, the same logic applies.
His title in the One Punch world was originally Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, a ninja known for his speed, so this blue hedgehog, also known for speed, was an appropriate transformation by the powder.
Even though Fang Mo was amused, Sonic himself clearly didn't want to turn into a hedgehog.
"Bastard! What have you done to me!"
At this point, he was clearly unable to restrain himself, shouting as he charged at Fang Mo: "I'm going to kill you! Wind Blade Kick!"
With these words, Sonic suddenly spun in mid-air, now clearly enraged—he had killed before, and now his murderous aura was truly frightening, his eyes bloodshot and red, this sudden kick slicing towards Fang Mo's head like a flash of light: "I'm going to split you in two!!!"
"Weak."
Fang Mo laughed upon seeing this.
However, just as he was about to taunt the other party with a few more words, a familiar voice came from the nearby woods.
"Ordinary Punch."
Then, to Fang Mo's astonishment, a red glove appeared in his field of vision, and then it simply squashed the blue hedgehog in front of him into a pulp.
"Holy shit!!!!"
