Jim’s fist moved faster than the wind. His fist went right through the thickest region of the web and pounded the Night Spider’s face.The Night Spider’s defense was no joke, but still it couldn’t last more than three hits, and its head exploded to bits. The venom in its fangs fell on the web and began to melt the web.“Was it preparing to release venom soon?” Jim wondered. “Good thing that I reacted quickly, or more people would have died. Anyway, now there’s only one beast left.” His gaze soon shifted toward the Flame Monkey that was still squatting near the cave entrance. Jim saw no fear in its eyes.“I will fight that as I said I would,” Joker voiced his mind and then rushed at the monkey.The Flame Monkey turned its tail and ran into the cave.“Is it running away?” some men sneered. “Did it shit in its fur after seeing two of its friends die? What a coward!”Joker, however, didn’t think the same. (Is it leading me to a different location that’s far away from Jim? This cunning fuc
The second floor was known as the paradise for villains but as hell for survivors. However, things changed really quickly after Jim entered the second floor.Not only did the first ranked villain Jeremy get defeated, even the 350-year-old Demon Bull was helplessly destroyed.Nobody on the second and third floors foresaw this. No one. Not a single soul.Even Ronny and Doug who were next to Jim most of the time didn’t see this happening.Right now, Ronny was sitting inside a secret home made inside a giant boulder. This was a home made by Ace many months ago to make secret deals with villains from other streets. It now came to be of use.Ronny’s body was burning hot as if he was suffering from high fever. He was still awake, but he felt very weak. Even a big man like him felt helpless against fever. He didn’t even have enough strength to clench his fist now.Ronny didn’t feel all that guilty during the times when Jim saved him from danger since they both met, but right now, he felt like
Ace stepped out, and his nails grew in size. “Demon Claw Arts…” he crossed his arms in X-shape and waved them around in different directions, releasing sharp gusts of wind that gave deep cuts to the beasts around him.Some of those also reached the ghost fox that was on the rooftop, but the ghost fox easily fended off those attacks with its tail.Ace frowned. He didn’t expect to hurt the ghost fox with those attacks, but he also didn’t expect the ghost fox to casually swat his attacks aside. “I need to get closer if I want my attacks to do any damage, but if I move away from this spot, the others will be in danger.”As he was in a dilemma, the wounded beasts attacked him. He brawled it out with them. His fighting style was also like that of a beast, and he was able to beat them one by one. To his relief, the ghost fox didn’t attack him during that time.“Is it underestimating me, thinking that it can kill me whenever it wants?” Ace’s pride was hurt, but his pride didn’t really matter
Joker used everything he got, but his flames just weren’t proving to be good enough to best the flame monkey’s flames, even though both flames were white colored.Joker wasn’t at his fastest when he was using the Ace of Hearts card. He was only at his hottest. However, unlike him, the monkey was very fast, and so it was able to deal more damage to him compared to the damage he inflicted on the monkey.Joker did have a card that would grant him the ability to manipulate water, but he wasn’t sure if he would be able to take that card out, so he didn’t take that risk.Just when Joker was getting more and more beaten up, his foot stepped on the ashes of some other beast. Suddenly, his flames strengthened by it and managed to push the flame monkey back.For a second, even Joker didn’t get what happened.But he could feel the power entering his body from the ashes under his feet. “This is…” He suddenly remembered the words his grandpa said a long time ago when he said, ‘the solution is almo
“Meteor Fist!”Barbosa punched from almost twenty feet high in the air. Jim immediately thrust his palm up in an attempt to block the attack.However, the punch did not come as he thought.Barbosa’s punch released a huge shockwave that covered a radius of almost fifty feet.BOOM~~!!A loud rumbling noise echoed as the shockwave hit the floor and formed a massive crater all around. The radius of the crater was almost thirty feet.Jim and others were at the center of the crater, but only Jim was standing on his feet. The boulder that Ace and others were all inside before was now utterly crushed to pieces. Even Joker, Ace, Scarlet Storm and Electric Assassin felt greatly oppressed under the shockwave, and their knees touched the ground.Doug’s whole body hugged the ground, and he felt like a mountain crashed on top of his head. He had no clue what was going on, only that a great amount of pain gripped his head. His bulked-up arms deflated now as blood forcibly leaked out of his arms, whi
“I will break all your teeth and tear that mouth wide open,” the energy around Barbosa’s fists took the shape of a lion’s face. He jumped forth and threw his fist.His attack pattern looked very similar to the last time, so Jim paid close attention this time and didn’t even respond to the punch until it came close.At the very last fraction of a second, Jim released vivre out through his body and blocked the punch. It wasn’t able to fully stop the punch, but it bought enough time for Jim to raise his hand and deflect Barbosa’s fist.A shockwave diagonally flew forth like a missile and destroyed multiple buildings on Jim’s right side and made a few more in the back collapse.“Not bad, but…” Barbosa used his second hand to punch at Jim’s abdomen. “Blood Fist Bite!”His punch struck the vivre surrounding Jim’s body and forced its way through and struck Jim’s belly.At the same time, Jim’s elbow came down onto Barbosa’s head.Barbosa was forced to jump back. Jim’s feet slid back just fro
Barbosa crashed into a building and its wall broke. He fell on top of a table inside a room on the first floor.His broken chin hurt, but it repaired itself at a fast pace before he even got up to his feet.“Fuck. I got careless for a second,” Barbosa was getting up, but then he saw Jim already coming at him. “Krgh,” he rolled off the table in an attempt to dodge the attack.But Jim changed the direction of his hand at the last second.“Phantom Palm!”A palm-shaped energy struck Barbosa and crushed him along with the floor beneath him. Barbosa was sent to the ground floor, and he ate a lot of dust in the process. It made him cough and sneeze.Before the dust settled, Jim’s fist came down like a missile.Barbosa cross-blocked the attack perfectly. “Don’t get cocky, Kid!” He roared and pushed Jim back just by flexing his arms. “Who do you think I am? I am Blood Fist Barbosa! Even insolent children stop crying when they hear the sound of my fists!” He kicked himself up and punched the ai
“Shit. Did I send him flying toward the tomb?” Barbosa quickly rushed over to the tomb as fast as he could. Along the way, he was forced to stop as his heart began to hurt. He coughed some more blood. (Is this because of that last attack I took from him? It’s more potent than I thought.) He bore the pain, wiped his mouth clean, and then got going. He soon reached the destination.Luckily, he could see that the tomb’s door was still closed.However, what he didn’t expect to see was that Jim was already up on his feet. He was bleeding from not just his eyes, nose, and mouth, but from almost every pore in his body, and yet, he was able to stand and glare at Barbosa.“I-Impossible,” Barbosa rubbed his eyes and looked again. Jim was still standing. How was this possible? “My attack must have destroyed everything in his body and even cooked his bones. He should be dead before his body could even hit the ground. Not only is he still breathing, but he’s also able to still stand and look at me
