Bab 87: Chapter 87: Why Do You Jump So High?
"Whoosh!" In the next moment, Madame Gao's pupils suddenly contracted. Her rich combat experience and the feedback from her cane told her that her strike hadn't hit anything solid, even though she was certain she had stabbed Robert's body!
As Madame Gao's heart filled with doubt, she felt a surge of crisis. Almost without hesitation, a burst of psychic power erupted from her, followed by an intangible barrier that blocked in front of her.
"Crack! Crack!" Just as the intangible barrier had just formed around Madame Gao's body, a fist slammed into it, sounding like the shattering of glass, but Robert's punch was halted.
"Whoosh!" Madame Gao's eyes lit up, and in the instant Robert's punch was blocked, she immediately thrust her cane at the fastest speed, but it still stabbed into the intangible Robert.
Meanwhile, Robert, appearing ten meters away, looked at Madame Gao somewhat perplexedly and muttered, "Dumplings? Superpower? Or should I say, the materialization of psychic power?"
Robert had thought Madame Gao was a pure fighter like himself, but he hadn't expected that she could also exert psychic powers.
However, this did not intimidate Robert; it actually excited him even more.
Madame Gao's energy was slightly stronger than Robert's when he wasn't using his berserk fist. Now that she had psychic powers, it allowed Robert to enjoy the fight even more, and he didn't even intend to use his berserk fist to break through the psychic power.
After all, it's fun to fight against someone stronger or with special abilities!
"Shh!" In the next moment, Robert's energy fully exploded, and his appearance and physique changed back from Kakarot to his own.
"Hmm? What's happening? Why did he suddenly shrink?" Madame Gao was stunned to see Robert suddenly shrink, but her vigilance quickly rose, as the fully unleashed Robert now posed a great threat to her.
"Whoosh!" This time, Madame Gao chose to take the initiative again, spreading out her invisible psychic power once more, bombarding Robert's body.
Robert, unfamiliar with this attack method, could still sense this psychic power.
"Break!" With excitement in his eyes, Robert's fist, concentrated with energy, blasted out, hitting the materialized psychic power.
"Crack!" With that punch, the psychic power completely shattered, and with the sound of breaking, Madame Gao once again lost track of Robert's position.
"Here!" Madame Gao's alertness went full throttle, pointing her cane to her side, and in the next moment, her expression slightly changed, again using psychic power to form a barrier around herself.
"Crack!"
The barrier shattered once again, and taking this opportunity, Madame Gao's attack missed once more, everything seemingly returning to the initial state of their fight, and this situation was repeated over and over...
After a while, a hint of fatigue flashed in Madame Gao's eyes, and her vitality had diminished significantly.
Every power has its source, and the psychic power Madame Gao released was not infinite. Whether it was attacking Robert with materialized psychic power or defending against Robert's attacks with a psychic barrier, it was a significant drain.
Especially since every release of psychic power by Madame Gao was forcefully shattered by Robert, which was a mental strain on her!
"Damn it! Where did this freak come from? So fast, and with strange illusion techniques..." Madame Gao's combat experience was rich, but she had never encountered a technique like the afterimage fist. Finding a way to counter it would take some time, and her psychic power was nearing exhaustion before she could find a weakness.
Of course, Diana, with similar combat experience, had taken countless hits from Robert before finding a flaw in the afterimage fist, let alone Madame Gao.
And Diana could grasp the flaw in the afterimage fist because her sturdy body could withstand Robert's repeated attacks without sustaining much damage, but Madame Gao dared not take a few hits from Robert's powerful fists.
Despite Diana and Madame Gao's energy being on the same level in Robert's perception, their actual defensive strength was worlds apart.
"Boom!" As Madame Gao's psychic power ran out, Robert's punch landed on her old face, teeth mixed with blood flying out. Robert hadn't expected that Madame Gao, at her age, still had real teeth.
"Boom!" Madame Gao crashed into the ground somewhat embarrassingly, half of her face severely deformed. It could only be said that compared to other strong individuals of the same energy level, Madame Gao was at a considerable disadvantage, not just in defense but also in healing ability. Even now, Robert couldn't see many signs of wound healing on her.
"Heh...heh!" Madame Gao stood up from the ground, taking several deep breaths. She couldn't remember the last time she was in such a sorry state.
Madame Gao's eyes flashed with angry flames, and a new power surged from her body. It was a dark aura, very close to Madame Gao's own and similar to the aura of those shadow ninjas!
"So, this is the power behind the shadows?" Robert raised an eyebrow, looking at the dark power swirling around Madame Gao with interest.
"This is the power bestowed upon me by the great master! Dying under this power will be your honor!" Madame Gao looked at Robert with intense murderous intent in her eyes, her severely deformed face bearing a terrifying expression.
"Boom!" The next moment, Madame Gao stomped her foot, turned into a shadow, and leaped towards Robert.
"Good! Let me see how powerful the power bestowed by your master is, just don't let it be all bark and no bite!" Robert smiled and nodded, disappearing from his spot, directly intercepting Madame Gao in mid-air.
"Whoosh!" Dark power surged on Madame Gao's cane as she stabbed at the approaching Robert, only to find herself stabbing into an illusion again.
"Boom!" At this moment, Robert appeared above Madame Gao, kicking towards her head. Madame Gao hastily raised her hand to block, and she crashed from mid-air to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"You said you can't fly, so why try to jump so high like others? Aren't you afraid of dying from the fall?" Robert, floating in mid-air, shrugged his shoulders, his figure flashing into the dust cloud.
"Just wait, let the dust settle a bit!"
