Not only did the rocks beneath him shatter, but spiderweb-like cracks also appeared on the ground, due to the sheer force of the impact!
"I told you! Instructor Zephyr must have been careless earlier. Now he's truly serious!"
"As one of the top-tier fighters of the Marine Headquarters, he's not someone who can be easily defeated!"
"Bob, despite his talent, can only admit defeat when facing a truly powerful opponent like instructor zephyr!"
Seeing Bob being blasted away by Zephyr, the marines who had been worried about Zephyr earlier changed their tune. Instructor Zephyr was bound to win now, and he deserved their full trust and hope.
The current situation indeed confirmed this.
It must be said that Zephyr was the most formidable opponent Bob had ever faced. Compared to Shiki, whom he had fought before, it was hard to determine who was stronger in overall strength.
But as an opponent, Zephyr exerted far greater pressure.
The reason was simple, Zephyr, like Bob, was a close-combat fighter. In their physical clashes, they competed with bone-crushing force.
In terms of raw strength and physical prowess, Bob far surpassed Zephyr. However, when it came to experience and technique, Zephyr held the upper hand.
When facing Shiki, Bob only needed to focus on blocking his sword energy, which was not particularly difficult. Moreover, once Bob closed the distance, Shiki weaker physical condition would lead to his immediate defeat.
But against Zephyr, closing the distance didn't provide much of an advantage.
This made Bob inwardly sigh. Swordsmen and warriors truly had to be treated differently!
Amidst the cracks, Bob, covered in Armament Haki, climbed to his feet and brushed off the dust from his cloths. At this moment, Bob body tensed as he prepared to go all out! In the strong wind, the tattered edges of his clothes fluttered, and his eyes glimmered with a fierce light as he looked up.
"I see you!"
The next second.
Bob stomped the ground and shot upward, instantly hovering in front of Zephyr. His speed and power expanded dramatically, and his crimson fists now resembled two meteors crashing toward the earth.
A terrifying energy erupted, as if it could tear a rift in the air.
Zephyr, in his combat-ready stance, sensed the incoming attack with crystal-clear perception, feeling the immense energy within the fists.
Without hesitation, Zephyr body exploded backward, retreating dozens of meters in an instant, as if he were teleporting.
In the next moment, Bob pursued him.
The two black figures clashed repeatedly in the air, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen. They were like two black lightning bolts, flickering and jumping across the sky. Each collision produced a deafening roar, accompanied by shockwaves that ravaged the land.
"If they keep fighting like this, this place is going to collapse!"
"This is terrifying! This isn't human combat at all!"
"Fall back! Keep your distance from Instructor Zephyr battle zone!"
The watching marines exclaimed in shock, retreating to a safe distance. Observing such a battle up close would be nothing short of suicidal.
The navy, having retreated to a distance where the battlefield was no longer visible to the naked eye, picked up their military-issued binoculars to continue closely monitoring the ongoing battle.
"Boom!"
Finally, between two black lightning bolts, a deafening explosion erupted. A figure was smashed down to the ground, like a meteorite crashing down, instantly creating a massive crater. The surrounding seawater, affected by the shockwaves, surged into towering waves that swept toward the island.
The waves crashed onto the shore with unstoppable force, pushing forward relentlessly. The seawater rushed in like a monstrous beast devouring everything in its path, submerging a significant portion of the island.
Looking at Bob, he now standing above a large boulder, his eyes lowered, calmly gazing at Zephyr, who was submerged in the seawater within the crater.
"Splash!"
At that moment!
A sound of water breaking echoed as Zephyr figure arched through the air, landing steadily on a rock opposite Bob.
His purple hair, soaked by the seawater, glistened under the sunlight. His clothes were completely torn, and his entire body was covered in black Armament Haki, though numerous wounds were visible.
Blood flowed endlessly.
"This power…"
Zephyr silently marveled at the terrifying final blow from Bob.
He felt as though his bones were about to fall apart, and his mind was foggy, his consciousness growing heavier. His breathing became increasingly faint, and even his Armament Haki had dimmed significantly.
He was on the verge of collapsing.
But in the next second! His eyes suddenly lit up, and his previously weak aura fully recovered, becoming even more robust. The dimmed Armament Haki instantly turned deep black.
And that wasn't all.
"Whoosh!"
With a soft sound, a surge of immense energy erupted, forming a dense black aura around his wounded body. From a distance, Zephyr now appeared as if he were shrouded in a thick black mist.
"Huh?"
Bob couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation at the sight.
The next moment.
A calm, composed, and meticulous voice slowly rang out.
"Rokushiki Ougi: Rokougan!"
Boom! Zephyr vanished in an instant, and the spot where he had stood now sank lower than the surrounding terrain, causing seawater to rush in.
Bob immediately turned around.
He saw Zephyr hovering in the air at the same height as him.
Frowning slightly, Bob's expression showed little surprise.
After all, this was Zephyr.
Although his speed wasn't as fast as it had been before, his strength had increased several times over.
Bob carefully observed Zephyr, who was now nearly a hundred meters away. His upper body was almost completely exposed, with numerous wounds still bleeding, yet the Armament Haki covering his body was an unsettling deep black. With each heartbeat, his broad chest rose and fell deeply, and his feet occasionally stepped on the air.
This was the Rokushiki technique, Geppo!
"Here he comes!"
