Chapter 74: Taking One of My Blows and Surviving… Enough for You to Brag About in Hell

John Wick was sent flying by an invisible wave of ki, stunned and disoriented. As he rolled across the ground, he couldn't even tell what had hit him — but he did catch sight of a group of people stepping out of a car not far away.

Deadpool steadied himself midair, then immediately shot over to John's side, his sharp gaze fixed on Madame Gao. Since arriving on Earth, he hadn't encountered a real opponent… until now. This was the first time someone had forcibly knocked him out of his transformation.

The Young Master had said this world wasn't simple — and he'd been right. There really were experts here.

Madame Gao's eyes fell on Deadpool, a flash of curiosity in them. That strange blue cat-like creature had just transformed into a hammer… was it some kind of shapeshifting technique?Not bad, she thought — but nothing she couldn't handle. She waved to the side."Take them alive."

Shin and several ninjas charged forward.

Seeing that he couldn't match Gao, Deadpool immediately shifted into a pterosaur and grabbed John Wick to fly away — but they only rose a few meters before being struck by another invisible wave that shattered his transformation.

THUD

Both crashed to the ground again, John's face now scraped and bleeding.

Murakami watched and commented:"Interesting shapeshifting technique. That little creature is quite unusual."

Botu grinned."Seems tonight's haul will be even richer than we expected."

Deadpool roared:"John, run!"

Sowande exclaimed:"It can talk? What kind of miraculous creature is that?"

Seeing Deadpool still struggling, Madame Gao calmly pinned him in place again with Kunlun ki, freezing him completely.

Meanwhile, Shin and his ninjas reached John Wick and moved to grab him — but John immediately counterattacked with brutal close-quarters combat. He had no intention of giving up quietly.

Even unarmed, John's hand-to-hand skills held off the ninjas for a moment, though he was clearly outmatched.

Then — a blazing ki blast dropped from the sky, slamming into Gao's position.

BOOM!

Flames and dust engulfed the area. The pressure holding Deadpool vanished. He looked up at the newcomer and shouted:"Young Master!"

Smith Doyle descended between the two sides, turning to glance at Deadpool."You alright?"

Deadpool shook his head."I'm fine. Watch out for the old hag — her attacks are invisible, no trace."

Smith nodded."Help John."

At that moment, John was hanging on by a thread under Shin's relentless assault. If Gao hadn't ordered him captured alive, he would've been dead already. Seeing this, Deadpool leapt into the fray and fought side by side with John, pulling him out of danger.

As the smoke cleared, the spot where Madame Gao had stood was now a crater, blood and limbs scattered around.

Two of her guards had been killed instantly by the blast, their bodies torn apart. Gao herself had narrowly avoided death, but her cane was shattered, revealing the blade hidden inside.

Smith wasn't surprised. After all, these were Kunlun elders — if they'd been blown apart by just one of his ki blasts, they'd be too pathetic to even bother with.

Still, he crossed his arms and spoke with an arrogant smile:"Madame Gao, surviving even one of my attacks… is enough for you to brag about in hell."

The other four Fingers quickly closed ranks around her, their expressions grave. They'd seen clearly what just happened — this boy's attack was far more powerful than a grenade. Even an RPG wouldn't have left such a crater. If they'd taken that hit directly, they'd have been blown to pieces.

Gao's voice was heavy:"Smith Doyle… truly worthy of being the new leader of the Assassin Brotherhood."

"You've consumed a Dragon Ball, haven't you?"

She couldn't imagine any other explanation for this absurd level of power.

The five of them readied themselves, summoning Kunlun ki, and Murakami gripped his katana tightly.

Smith's face twisted in contempt. Consume a Dragon Ball? Did she think he was some kind of Shadow Dragon?

He tapped his scouter, and the Fingers' power levels appeared before his eyes as their ki surged: Alexandra — 45, Botu — 43, Madame Gao — 50, Sowande — 44, Murakami — 42.

Smith raised an eyebrow. Kunlun's ki techniques were decent, to be fair — raising their levels that high.But without ki, a single bullet could still tear through their flesh. Their physical bodies alone probably weren't even level 9. That high power level only manifested when channeling ki.

"The feud between the Brotherhood and the Hand… ends tonight."

Gao ordered the rest of the Hand's elite to go after John and the blue cat-creature, knowing this battle was one only the Fingers themselves could fight.

Smith raised both palms, forming glowing ki orbs one after another and hurling them at the five.

"Ha… Ha… Ha…"

He didn't even bother to charge much — just let loose a storm of blasts like they cost nothing. The Prince's Gambit technique, unleashed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Gao shouted:"All out! Now!"

The five of them raised a massive invisible ki wall in front of them to block. The first blast exploded violently against it, but their barrier held — barely.

Smith didn't care. He switched to firing with one hand, each blast slightly charged, but still fast and relentless.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Finally, his enhanced blasts tore through the barrier.

The five of them staggered and coughed up blood.

Smith didn't let up. Another five ki blasts streaked toward them.

"AAAH!" x5

With five simultaneous screams, the blasts struck each of them and exploded, sending all five flying through the air.
