It was rare for Leo to encounter such a skilled Enhancer as Uvogin, and it stirred his desire to fight.
Both of them completely abandoned defense, choosing the most savage, most violent brawl!
Uvogin slammed a fist into Leo's chest; Leo let out a muffled groan, a faint fist mark appearing on his chest. But at almost the same moment, he retaliated with a punch, landing squarely in Uvogin's abdomen!
"Pfft!" Uvogin spat out a mouthful of blood, but his smile became even more crazed.
"Exhilarating! This is absolutely exhilarating!!!"
He roared, lunging forward again! Leo met him head-on! The two were like frenzied beasts, trading blow for blow, blood constantly splattering.
But Uvogin gradually realized something was wrong.
Leo's punches... were getting heavier and heavier.
Moreover, Leo's recovery speed after being injured was eerily fast—the areas he had struck showed no signs of injury within a few breaths; although not fully recovered, it no longer affected the fight.
"In that case..." A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Uvogin's eyes.
Uvogin went completely berserk. He held nothing back, pulling his right fist back as all the Nen in his body gathered and compressed into his fist like a vortex!
The surrounding air began to distort, and the gravel on the ground was lifted, suspended by an invisible force!
"Great! Destruction! Fist—!!!"
Uvogin roared, charging toward Leo like a war chariot!
With this punch, he would blast this humiliation into dust!
Leo watched that familiar starting stance, looking at the terrifying energy gathering on Uvogin's fist, and smiled.
That smile was full of mockery.
He also raised his right fist, pulling it back. Nen gathered and compressed toward his fist in the exact same pattern!
It was even more efficient and dense than Uvogin's compression!
A basketball-sized golden ball of light condensed in front of his fist, the energy inside spinning and colliding crazily, emitting a low rumble like thunder!
"Super Destruction Fist? What a coincidence—" Leo's smile vanished instantly, his eyes cold as blades. "I can do it too."
Uvogin's pupils constricted sharply! Impossible! This was his unique technique! How could this guy— There was no time to think.
The two fists, carrying equally terrifying energy, collided in the center of the street!
BOOM—!!!
An explosion that defied description! A storm of golden and dark red energy shot into the sky!
The shockwave, like a ring of destruction, instantly swept across a hundred-meter radius!
The ground was overturned layer by layer, and chunks of concrete flew everywhere like cannonballs! The surrounding buildings collapsed like they were made of paper, smoke and dust blotting out the sky!
At the center of the explosion, the two figures deadlocked for a mere two seconds. Then, Uvogin spat out a large mouthful of blood!
The ball of energy on his fist was forcibly crushed! Leo's fist drove straight in, slamming solidly into his chest!
CRACK—!!! A clear, teeth-grinding sound of bone breaking!
At least two of Uvogin's ribs were broken, and his internal organs ruptured under the terrifying force!
He flew backward like a broken sack, carving a parabola in the air, crashing heavily onto the street fifty meters away, bouncing and rolling, leaving a shocking trail of blood.
Leo did not give him any chance to breathe. The moment Uvogin landed, Leo had already appeared beside him like a ghost.
His right hand clamped onto Uvogin's blood-stained long hair like an iron pincer, lifting him up, and then—slammed him hard into the ground!
THUD!!!!!! The ground shook violently! With Uvogin's head as the center, the concrete ground exploded into spiderweb-like cracks, depressing into a shallow pit!
Uvogin was not dead yet. The vitality of an Enhancer was terrifyingly tenacious. He struggled to crawl up, coughing up blood foam and organ fragments.
But Leo gave him no chance. Grabbing Uvogin by the hair, Leo began to sprint across the ground!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!! Uvogin's body frantically scraped and slammed against the ground!
The hard concrete was plowed open like tofu, with gravel and dust flying everywhere!
His skin was shredded in the violent dragging, exposing the flesh beneath, and blood dragged along the ground in a long, shocking trail!
It was a gruesome sight. Finally, Leo dragged him and slammed him hard into the wall of a five-story building!
BANG—!!! Amidst a muffled thud, Uvogin's head was forcefully pressed into the wall by Leo! Bricks shattered, his head embedded in the wall, and his body hung limply.
But Leo knew this was not enough. To deal with an Enhancer of Uvogin's level, one must destroy him completely.
He let go, stepped back half a pace, and raised his fists like pile drivers—then, blasted them out!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!! The dull sounds of impact, enough to make one's heart stop, continued incessantly!
Each time a fist landed, it was accompanied by the crisp sound of bone breaking and the tremor of the wall! Uvogin's body, embedded in the wall, was like a human sandbag, repeatedly struck by Leo's fists!
His sternum was completely pulverized. All his ribs were broken. His internal organs had turned into a pulp. Blood and gore splattered constantly, staining the wall a deep scarlet.
After a flurry of rapid strikes too fast for the naked eye to catch, Leo stopped.
He grabbed Uvogin's body, which was no longer recognizable as human, his arm muscles bulging, and threw him toward the high sky with all his might!
Uvogin's broken body flew into mid-air like a tattered sack, dragging a bloody trail under the sunlight.
The next instant, Leo jumped. He appeared above Uvogin, his eyes cold, without a shred of pity.
His right leg was raised high like a battle axe, Nen compressed to the limit at the edge of his leg, forming a blinding layer of light—then, he brought it down!
"It's over." BOOM—!!!
Uvogin's body slammed back to the ground like a meteorite! Smoke and dust shot into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud!
The ground was smashed into a giant crater five meters in diameter and two meters deep! The shockwave swept out again, completely leveling the remaining surrounding buildings!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Leo landed at the edge of the crater, breathing slightly heavily.
At the bottom of the crater, Uvogin's corpse was unrecognizable. His chest and abdomen were completely collapsed, his limbs twisted at bizarre angles, only half his skull remained, and red and white matter was scattered all over the ground.
A familiar warmth came from the tattoo on the back of his hand. [Rank: 49 (8%) → (46%)]
From the moment Uvogin attacked to his death, it had been less than two minutes in total.
In the distance, Franklin stood frozen in place, the barrels of his hand-mounted machine guns still smoking, but he had forgotten to fire.
He remained stiff, his pupils constricted to the size of pinpricks, his lips trembling, unable to say a word.
Uvogin... dead?
The strongest Enhancer of the Phantom Troupe, crushed head-on, killed in two minutes?
Franklin slowly turned his head to look at Leo, who was standing at the edge of the crater. That man was also looking at him. His eyes were calm, as if he were looking at a corpse.
Franklin's body began to tremble. It was not fear, but anger, humiliation, and an unacceptable madness!
"You... you dare... you dare to kill Uvogin—!!!"
He roared, his hand-mounted machine guns firing wildly again! This time, he was no longer aiming for Shizuku; all his Nen Bullets were poured toward Leo!
Leo raised his head and looked at Franklin. His eyes were very calm. So calm that it was as if he had just swatted a fly.
"I said it last time." Leo spoke, his voice not loud, yet clearly piercing through the gunfire. "Since you are in such a hurry to die, I will grant your wish."
He raised his right hand. Nen began to gather. It was larger, more condensed, and more terrifying than before.
Franklin's pupils constricted to pinpricks. He remembered that night half a year ago at the Xililike Auction House. He remembered that punch that shattered his defense and broke his ribs.
And now, this punch... will kill. It will absolutely kill.
"AAAAH—!!!" Franklin roared, pouring all his Nen, all his anger, and all his fear into his hand-mounted machine guns!
The Nen Bullets spraying from the barrels formed a curtain of light, sweeping toward Leo like a metal storm!
Leo's right fist slowly pulled back. The golden ball of light in front of his fist began to expand. The aura of destruction enveloped the entire street.
Shizuku had already retreated into the distance. She watched Leo, and for once, a glimmer of curiosity appeared in her eyes behind her black-rimmed glasses.
And Franklin... he saw death.
