Chapter 138: Annihilating Every Single One That Comes (Part 2)
"What do you mean, 'what do I mean'? You're no eighteen-year-old missy; you've lived for hundreds of years, haven't you? Calling you auntie is already giving you plenty of respect—I was originally thinking of calling you old crone."
Luffy stood with his hands behind his back, giving the sexy Yinming woman a glance before turning his attention to the three-star zombie king beside her. "You're quite powerful, aren't you? This is the first time I've seen a zombie this strong. Shall we fight or not?"
"Of course we're going to fight. Since we've come, there's no reason not to, and you must let us witness your true strength before we decide whether or not to withdraw our troops," the three-star zombie king replied calmly. Dressed in white attire and a white skirt, he stepped up in front of Luffy and added, "By the way, let me tell you, I don't represent just myself; I represent the upper echelons of the zombies in the abyss. As for her, she represents the higher-ups of Yinming. We are here to determine whether the Jiuzhou Safe Zone, where you humans reside, has the right to continue existing. Your strength will decide everything—defeat both me and her, and you'll earn the qualification to survive. It's as simple as that."
"Oh, so that's how it is. You two really think quite highly of yourselves, don't you? What if I kill both of you right now?" Luffy asked with a confident smile, looking calmly at the two monsters with his hands still behind his back.
"Heh... if you can kill us, consider it your skill. I guarantee Yinming won't come looking for trouble with you," the sexy Yinming woman laughed coldly.
"That's right. If you have the ability to kill us, then it's your capability. We zombies will definitely not seek revenge, and we will withdraw our troops from this moment on. Naturally, the desolate beasts won't come to invade again either," the three-star zombie king said, looking at Luffy very seriously.
"That's just what you say."
Luffy raised a finger. Although he was still using the Ancient God's Finger this time, he only channeled a tiny fraction of its power. He didn't want to completely obliterate the three-star zombie's crystal nucleus; an eighth-tier nucleus was a rare treasure, equivalent to ten million first-tier nuclei, and a three-star king's nucleus might even be worth thirty million first-tier ones. That would be an absolute windfall. After all, he still owed the system quite a few nuclei. Although he had obtained a fair share of them earlier, carrying that debt didn't sit well with him, and clearing it out was definitely the best choice.
*Better not use the Ancient God's Finger just yet. Let's try the Grand Ultimate Taiji Intent Kung Fu first, transform into a Super Saiyan 2, and play around with them to see how strong I am in this state.*
He let out a low chant, and his hair stood on end, turning golden. Brilliant golden light enveloped his entire body, wreathed in surging dragon Qi that actually swelled to twice its previous volume. As for his strength, it went without saying—it had multiplied threefold from a base of nine thousand nine hundred times human capacity. This came as a complete surprise to Luffy, and this was merely in the Super Saiyan 2 state.
"No way... The boss turned into a Super Saiyan?!"
Zeng Hongsen wore an expression of utter bewilderment—first bewildered, then doubly bewildered, and finally triply bewildered. Was this too cool? His hair had literally turned gold, making him look like a golden statue, immensely handsome and domineering.
"Uh... he really turned into a Super Saiyan!" Zhao Liying was equally dumbfounded, staring blankly at Luffy in the distance.
"Could this be real?"
Qin Bailing wore a dazed expression as well. Back in their third year of high school, Luffy's backpack had always been stuffed with manga, such as *Dragon Ball*, and he would occasionally sneak a peek during class. She had read *Dragon Ball* too, and Super Saiyan 2 was immensely powerful and cool. She never expected Luffy to actually transform into that state. Was she dreaming?
Many others stared at Luffy with the exact same blank expressions.
"Gulp..." Ma Bi, a hardcore *Dragon Ball* fan, was completely petrified.
"You human!" The three-star zombie king was also dumbfounded. *Can he actually do that? His power seems to have grown terrifyingly strong.* He could clearly feel the oppressive might radiating from Luffy's body.
"To be able to elevate one's oppressive aura to such heights in an instant is truly remarkable."
The sexy Yinming woman was quite astonished as well.
"Both of you, come at me together," Luffy said, his eyes turning sharp and disdainful of everything, his tone calm and indifferent.
"Interesting. To dare speak to us like this—today, we'll let you experience our true might."
The three-star zombie king turned deadly serious. Corpse Qi billowed around him, making him look as though an evil demon stood right behind him, radiating wickedness.
Meanwhile, the sexy Yinming woman was wreathed in swirling dark Yin Qi. The black energy gave her an equally malevolent aura, as if a vicious ghost lurked behind her, terrifying to behold.
It caused many onlookers to gasp in cold air.
In the next instant, they charged toward Luffy from opposite sides.
Their speed was so fast that only the churning sand and dust on the ground could be seen; the figures of the people themselves were entirely invisible.
"Boom!" Luffy suddenly moved. He clenched one hand into a fist and punched forward, shattering the air itself. The three-star zombie king's figure materialized right in front of Luffy's fist, taking a direct blow to the abdomen. With a sound like a beaten drum, he doubled over like a cooked shrimp and went flying backward.
"Pfft..." A turbulent churning sensation hit his stomach, forcing stomach acid up into his throat, which he spewed out along with a mouthful of blood. Collapsing onto the ground, he felt as though he had been hit by dozens of trucks simultaneously. *How can this boy's physical strength possibly be this terrifying?*
The sexy woman was no exception. Luffy, in this state, landed a punch squarely on her ample breasts, sending her flying backward as well. She crashed down right beside the three-star zombie king, dropped to her knees, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as though her chest had been smashed by an entire mountain.
Her face turned deathly pale, and she spat out blood, nearly fainting on the spot. *Is this boy a monster? What kind of state is this? Golden Combat Form? Isn't this too overbearing?*
"Whoosh!" Luffy surged forward, giving them no chance to catch their breath. Since they had stated earlier that it wouldn't matter if he killed them, he would simply grant their wish—he definitely wanted those crystal nuclei.
"Boom!" With a sudden stomp, Luffy drove the three-star zombie king deep into the ground. As for the sexy woman, her body abruptly dissolved into nothingness, causing Luffy's follow-up punch to strike empty air.
This caused Luffy to pause for a fraction of a second, but he decided to finish off the three-star zombie first.
"Boom!" Another punch landed. Dust erupted like a volcanic explosion, and the ground shook violently. Luffy had poured his full strength in this state into that strike, directly pulverizing the three-star zombie into a mess of flesh and blood. He retrieved its crystal nucleus, stowed it away, and whipped around to charge toward his other target.
"No!" The sexy Yinming woman wore a look of utter horror. She had never imagined this boy could be so terrifying, annihilating the three-star zombie king in just two or three moves. The surrounding zombie army began retreating frantically, and the horde of desolate beasts flooded backward like an outgoing tide as well. *How is this a fight anymore? Charging in equals certain death.*
"Your state is extremely bizarre. It must be some kind of soul manifestation, right?"
Luffy's entire body glowed with golden light, leaving the sexy Yinming woman with lingering panic. They had severely underestimated their enemy, never dreaming this youth could be so dreadful. "You'd better let me go. Otherwise, Yinming will never spare you! Our power is beyond your imagination."
"The Yinming Clan? Interesting. This is my first time seeing one. Let you go? Not a chance. Do you really think I can't hit you?"
Luffy pulled a Soul-Suppressing Talisman from his body and flicked it toward the sexy Yinming woman. The talisman burst into spontaneous combustion as he threw another fierce punch. "What Yinming Clan? What abyss-dwelling zombie existences? I'm afraid of none of them. Come one, and I'll wipe out a pair!"
