The rest of the team had also noticed the bald man
“Huh, why isn’t he wearing any armor?” Yao Mingxi asked curiously.
“Who cares if he’s wearing armor or not, we’ll fight him if he’s an enemy.”
Hu Guan clenched his fists and walked toward the man aggressively.
An Lin immediately grabbed onto Hu Guan’s arm. “Don’t be ras.h.!.+”
“Is there something wrong, Big Brother An?” Hu Guan was a bit curious with regard to why An Lin looked so anxious.
An Lin took a deep breath before replying, “I’m scared that you might not even be able to survive a single punch if you charge in recklessly like this.”
Xuanyuan Cheng chimed in with approval. “Cla.s.smate An Lin is right, we should be cautious against enemies like this who we know nothing about. Let me test the waters.”
He drew his antique sword as he spoke and made his way toward the bald man with a cautious expression.
An Lin was given a fright by Xuanyuan Cheng’s actions and immediately dragged him back as well.
Xuanyuan Cheng: “???”
An Lin swallowed and said with a solemn expression, “That guy’s get-up is making me a bit worried that none of us would be able to take a single punch from him. We should let Gundam One and Gundam Two test his strength first…”
Yao Mingxi, Hu Guan, and White Spirit Snake all widened their eyes in disbelief as they turned their gazes upon An Lin as if they were seeing something inconceivable.
This was the first time in their memory that Big Brother An had ever been so fearful of anyone.
Liu Qianhuan stroked her chin in deep thought as she looked at the bald man with the weird fas.h.i.+on sense. “I have a nagging feeling that I’ve seen him somewhere before…”
An Lin turned to Liu Qianhuan as if he had found his soulmate. “One Punch Man.”
“Oh… that’s right!” Liu Qianhuan clapped her hands together as her purple eyes shone with excitement. “He’s that Master Saitama who can kill any BOSS with one punch!!”
All the clueless team members were shocked by her words.
Saitama? Kill any BOSS with one punch? Was he that powerful!?
“h.e.l.lo, Master Saitama! I’m young sorceress Lux!!” Liu Qianhuan waved excitedly at the bald man in the distance with an extremely vibrant smile.
They were like two cosplay enthusiasts who just so happened to stumble upon one another in this big, wide world.
It was fate!
The bald man was rooted to the spot as he saw an extremely beautiful woman waving at him enthusiastically while referring to him as Master Saitama. His eyes then suddenly lit up as if he too had found his soulmate.
He was extremely concerned about how to recover his gallant image after losing all his hair recently.
Soon, he remembered an extremely bada.s.s fictional character in the world created by Her Majesty. Hence, he decided to cosplay as that character in order to rediscover his mojo; who would have thought that he was recognized after only just adopting this get-up!!
Could it be that he was naturally exuding a b*da.s.s aura?!
The bald man was extremely pleased, but he knew what his mission was. If he didn’t complete his mission, he wouldn’t be cosplaying as a powerful baldie next time. Instead, he would be cosplaying as a headless cavalier…
Just as he was basking in the joy of being recognized, a white figure had already appeared above him before opening its mouth.
Boom!
Purple flames crashed down from the sky.
These were the Dark Purple Dragon Flames which had extremely powerful penetrative properties. The bald man was instantly engulfed by the flames and extreme temperatures turned the ground below him into molten lava.
But just as the Gundam was spitting forth a stream of flames, the bald man had already appeared behind it.
An Lin’s pupils contracted in shock. “So fast!!”
The bald man’s white cape flapped in the wind behind him as his gloved fists thundered down at unimaginable speed onto the Gundam’s back.
Boom!
A resounding thump exploded forth like roaring thunder, creating a white explosion of power which extended for over a kilometer into the air.
Crack…
The metallic exterior of the Gundam instantly began to crack under the devastating force and its body transformed into a flas.h.i.+ng white streak before cras.h.i.+ng to the ground, where it created a ma.s.sive crater.
An Lin took a deep breath as an extremely fearful expression flashed through his eyes. “Yao Mingxi, Hu Guan, help the Gundams take on Battle G.o.d Zhen Hong. Everyone else, follow me into battle against the bald man!”
The speed and power exhibited by the bald man were a lot more powerful than even a Battle G.o.d. Yao Mingxi and Hu Guan were two of the weaker members of the team, and they were aware that this wasn’t a battle where they could be useful. Hence, they followed An Lin’s instructions without any objections and flew toward Battle G.o.d Zhen Hong.
An Lin transmitted telepathic instructions to the two Gundams to delay Battle G.o.d Zhen Hong for as long as possible. The main objective was not to kill him but to prevent him from joining in on this battle.
The bald man didn’t give chase after smas.h.i.+ng one of the Gundams into the ground. Instead, he walked toward An Lin and the others slowly with a relaxed smile on his face.
“h.e.l.lo everyone, I’m the final BOSS of this trial, Saitama. The trial has been far too easy for you guys so far, so it’s time for me to kill a few of you. Are you all ready?”
He wasn’t going to forget why he had become bald. Now that he had a chance for vengeance, he was naturally going to grab it with both hands.
An extremely powerful killing intent began to permeate outward as he spoke.
An Lin looked into the bald man’s eyes and was struck by a sense of extreme danger. He really did feel like he was going to be killed by a single punch.
“I’ll distract Saitama, you guys attack him when opportunities arise!” Xuanyuan Cheng suddenly said.
“Ok! Xuanyuan Cheng will draw his animosity, I’ll blast him with attacks from afar, Su Qianyun can operate as the mid-range a.s.sa.s.sin, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan can engage him in close combat!” Liu Qianhuan delegated excitedly.
Everyone: “…”
An Lin felt like he could rely on Xuanyuan Cheng to distract their opponent. After all, even when he was just Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, he was able to fight for a short time with w.a.n.g Xuanzhan who was Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and had activated the full power of his bloodline.
He was now a Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivator, and he was definitely the most powerful cultivator among them in terms of overall strength.
However, Xuanyuan Cheng didn’t even have a chance to move before a huge pillar of white light tore through the ground and flew directly at the bald man.
Whoos.h.!.+
An afterimage was engulfed by the pillar of white light as the bald man dodged at a speed faster than the eye could detect.
The pillar of light pa.s.sed by his shoulder and left a huge trench of over a thousand feet behind him.
“Holy sh*t…”
Liu Qianhuan blinked her purple eyes in disbelief.
“My turn,” the bald man announced expressionlessly.
His gloved fists had already descended upon everyone with mountainous force in the next instant!
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted and the ground below them completely shattered!
An antique sword stood in the way of the gloved fists as the projection of a yin-yang image revolved in a never-ending loop.
“Oh? Interesting…” A hint of surprise appeared in the bald man’s eyes.
He didn’t think that there would be someone here who could take one of his punches.
Xuanyuan Cheng wore an extremely calm expression, and he seemed to have entered a mystical state. However, the blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth demonstrated the fact that he had, in fact, been injured.
A sword projection imbued with flames and lightning suddenly slashed toward the bald man with fearsome speed.
The bald man took a step back, and his body instantly retreated about a dozen meters, leaving a string of afterimages in his wake as he dodged the sword projection.
The air rippled and a blue Moonlight Disc appeared silently behind him before drawing a lethal blue line through the air.
The bald man immediately unleashed a punch without even looking behind him!
Boom!
The sound of a thunderous explosion erupted as his gloved fists condensed the very air itself into a dense pancake, causing the blue Moonlight Disc to tremble violently.
It was impossible to describe what kind of power this was. Su Qianyun was situated over a hundred meters away, but she felt like every bone in her body was almost broken as she was knocked flying by the punch from afar, spitting forth a mouthful of blood as she flew through the air like a rag doll.
The bald man suddenly felt a cold breeze whip up beside him, and he once again unleashed a punch without even looking!
The blade of An Lin’s Evil-Slaying Sword was only an inch from the man’s neck when a devastating fist projection rammed into his body, sending him flying a few hundred meters away…
Within the short span of a few seconds, the bald man unleashed three punches, resulting in three severe injuries.
