Chapter 1144 The Power of a Single Punch
Even now, facing the formidable Barrett, he still maintained an arrogant attitude—an arrogance and contempt ingrained in the Celestial Dragons.
Even if such a powerful figure emerges from a race that they have manipulated to the point of near annihilation, what can they do? In the end, it's nothing more than a desperate struggle by a cornered beast!
"I see, thank you for letting me know!"
Barrett's face was so cold it could freeze water. No one saw that his hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched so tightly that the veins bulged and his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.
Deep in his eyes, besides the surging murderous intent, there was also a trace of barely perceptible guilt.
Although the war in the entire country was orchestrated by the world government, the country was indeed destroyed by his own hands. Now that he knows the truth, he has a place to vent the harm that those people caused him!
However, that hatred could not simply disappear; instead, it was transferred to the World Government. Originally, his grudges with the World Government were not significant, and there was no real hatred between them. But now, they were involved, and it was a blood feud. His mindset had changed!
"Back then, I heard that there was a boy in the Kingdom of Gortz who awakened the power of his bloodline, and he destroyed his own country with his own hands."
By the time we arrived, the boy had already escaped to the sea. During our pursuit, a mysterious man in black robes repeatedly obstructed our efforts.
When we found that kid again, he had joined the Roger Pirates, so we had to leave it at that for the time being. That kid who destroyed his own country, that must be you, right?
The deer-headed man was so engrossed in his speech that he was spitting everywhere, completely unaware that Barrett's face had already turned ashen, and the murderous intent surging in his eyes was almost tangible. He continued to chatter on and on, his tone full of the arrogance ingrained in the bones of a Celestial Dragon!
Given the Celestial Dragons' style, it's impossible for them to let go of a race that has joined the enemy camp, such as the Lunaria, Giants, Fish-Men, Bakania, and David!
These races have all suffered persecution at their hands; some have been nearly extinct, some have barely survived, and some have become the most elite slaves. But in the end, there is only one outcome: the complete annihilation of these races, it's only a matter of time!
"Thank you for revealing the truth. I'll give you a chance to become your strongest form, or I'm afraid you'll die rather than submit!"
Barrett clenched his fist, which was as big as a millstone, his tone as cold as ice. Gone was his previous playful attitude. He was now going to kill the other party and then kill more Celestial Dragons. Only in this way could he soothe his already wounded heart!
"Hmm? Don't you want to hear any more? Or do you find it unacceptable, too harsh?"
This is what you lowly races are like. Why don't you just be our slaves? Why bother talking about dignity and freedom?
Is that something you can truly possess? Can't you accept reality? Can't you listen to the truth? Wouldn't it be better to simply accept your lowliness and mediocrity? Why resist?
The deer-headed man finally realized something was wrong, but he thought that some of the things he said were too truthful and hurt Barrett's cheap pride, so he didn't want to listen anymore!
He completely forgot about his previous experience of being brutally beaten by Barrett, rediscovered all the "good qualities" of a Celestial Dragon, and started fantasizing again!
"Idiot!"
Before he finished speaking, Barrett's figure vanished as if he had never existed. The next second, the rhinoceros's massive body was struck as if by a 10,000-ton hammer, and it was sent flying backward as if it had been hit by a cannonball. A dented fist mark was clearly visible above its front leg!
Before the giant rhinoceros could even hit the ground, it suddenly flew off in another direction, with another fist-shaped mark appearing on its body!
This continued, the fists flying like a storm, each strike creating a gust of wind. Only when Barrett's figure slowly appeared in the center of the open space did the enormous creature crash heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Looking at the deer-headed man again, his rhinoceros hide, which was originally comparable to a domineering suit of armor, was now covered with countless dented fist marks, each one deeply embedded in the bone, so ferocious that it made one's scalp tingle.
"You don't want to die with dignity, you insist on suffering first, huh!"
Barrett adjusted his headphones, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance with some disdain. "They've really lost their minds. How can someone who is a Celestial Dragon be so confident that they can even forget the beating they suffered before? It's simply incomprehensible!"
"Outrageous! You wretched bastard, you're asking for death!"
As the smoke and dust cleared, a burly figure slowly rose from the deep pit.
The deer-headed man shed his bulky rhinoceros form and transformed into a muscular giant covered in tough rhinoceros hide armor, wielding a massive scythe of death!
The scythe's blade was curved like a crescent moon, gleaming with a chilling, bone-chilling light. The blade resembled the curved horn on the rhinoceros's head, and its blood-red eyes, gleaming with ferocity, were fixed on Barrett.
"Is this your strongest form? How disappointing!"
Barrett didn't sense any increase in the opponent's aura. Apart from the fact that the body had shrunk and might be more agile, he couldn't see anything particularly powerful about the opponent. If that scythe of death counted, then it was indeed quite something.
Two gazes collided in mid-air, unleashing a scorching killing intent.
Both remained silent, their auras rising steadily, their domineering power surging like a raging torrent, causing the air around them to tremble violently, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
"Deadly Slash!"
"Overlord Fist!"
The deer-headed man wrapped all his Haki around his scythe, instantly covering the blade with jet-black Armament Haki, followed by flashes of crimson lightning; Barrett also concentrated his Haki into his fist, the blackness on his fist was darker than ink and deeper than an abyss, and the crimson lightning was even more violent!
Before the two could even move, their dissipated Conqueror's Haki collided with a deafening roar. Blinding crimson lightning tore through the sky, and a deafening explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The ground beneath their feet shattered, sending countless fragments of rock flying into the air, only to be crushed into dust by an invisible, immense force, which then fell to the ground.
As if by some unspoken agreement, the two figures vanished from their spot at the same time, leaving only two fleeting afterimages.
The next moment, the two were almost touching!
A sinister smile flashed in the deer-headed man's eyes as he raised his scythe and brought it down fiercely towards Barrett's neck. The blade slicing through the air with a piercing screech, determined to sever the man's head. Barrett remained expressionless, his fist thrusting forward relentlessly, the wind howling with destructive force. Whether it was a sharp scythe or a hard skull, he would smash it all to pieces!
"Crack!"
"boom!"
Two loud bangs sounded one after another.
A broken piece of sickle, carrying a strong wind, whistled and plunged into the distant soil, disappearing completely into the handle.
The deer-headed man's head, which resembled a rhinoceros, had disappeared from his neck.
Barrett's massive, domineering fist rested on the broken part of his neck, its surface stained with warm blood and bits of flesh.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The splattered flesh and blood hung suspended in the air, not yet touching the ground; from the severed neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, staining Barrett's fist red.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that no one had time to react.
In a short while, time began to flow again.
The broken scythe emitted a crisp hum, and blood dripped onto the ground, splattering into vivid, eerie blooms.
The flesh and blood continued to roll on the ground, getting covered in mud and becoming even dirtier!
The headless body swayed, then crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
