Three-Eyes' face was full of anger. His eyes burned with fighting spirit, and the third eye on his forehead showed signs of opening.
However, in Ben's opinion, this guy was just putting on a show of strength.
"Why are your hands shaking?" Ben said with a smile. "What? Are you afraid of me?"
Three-Eyes was indeed a little scared. If he wasn't afraid of death, he wouldn't have hidden in the pile of corpses, pretending to be dead, trying to buy time. He only needed to survive for sixty minutes, and he'd be safe. But now that Ben had seen through his act, Three-Eyes was annoyed and puzzled.
Why was there such a terrifying existence among the new humans? He thought he was already strong enough, but unexpectedly, someone even more monstrous had appeared.
That punch earlier… it was truly terrifying!
Right now, the most important thing was how to survive the remaining fifty minutes under Ben's relentless pursuit. As long as he returned alive, there would still be a chance to start over.
While thinking of a countermeasure, Three-Eyes rattled off a passage:
"Before, you brought me to the arena to fight against a master like me, right? I hope you won't use that move from before, so that I can display all my life's learning. If I still lose in the end and die at the hands of a strong person like you, I will be very satisfied!"
Hearing this, Ben couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems your memory isn't very good!" His smile faded as he asked, "Do you remember the girl you injured before?"
Three-Eyes was stunned. "The one with fire abilities?"
"That's right! She is my woman!" Ben said coldly. "I lured you down here for only one purpose—to kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ben suddenly moved.
"Crack!"
The ground cracked under his feet. He lunged toward Three-Eyes like a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex. Halfway there, Armament Haki had already covered his body.
Three-Eyes' expression changed drastically!
This guy hurriedly mustered all his strength to deal with it because from Ben's aura, it was clear—he wanted to kill him.
Three-Eyes quickly put his hands together and shouted, "Ha!!"
A spirit bomb flew out from between his palms, instantly striking Ben.
"Bang!"
A muffled collision sounded.
The spirit bomb, which could instantly injure Elisa, hit Ben, but it didn't even leave a scratch. Ben only paused slightly before continuing forward as if nothing had happened.
With the Body of Steel, coupled with Armament Haki, his defense was truly maxed out!
Seeing this, Three-Eyes' expression changed again, and he quickly retreated.
Ben followed unhurriedly, always keeping a cautious eye on Three-Eyes, knowing he was a cunning opponent, likely hiding a trick up his sleeve.
Seeing that Three-Eyes wanted to create distance, Ben immediately punched forward.
"Pa!"
Fist Wind Impact!
Unlike Fist Bone Impact, which required at least two seconds of charging time, Fist Wind Impact could be released instantly. Though not as powerful, it was more convenient.
A huge fist phantom suddenly appeared, tearing through the void like a missile, striking Three-Eyes' body.
Instantly!
Three-Eyes was knocked backward, falling heavily to the ground. If not for his spirit energy protecting him, this one blow could have taken his life.
"Pfft!"
Upon landing, Three-Eyes spat out a large mouthful of brown blood, looking listless and severely injured.
Seeing this, Ben simply smiled and didn't rush to finish him off. He suspected that Three-Eyes was playing possum, trying to trick him.
Sure enough.
When Ben approached again, Three-Eyes suddenly raised his palms and shouted:
"Flash Fist!"
A strong light burst from Three-Eyes' body, temporarily blinding Ben.
The next moment!
"Dong!"
A muffled thunder-like collision sounded.
At some point, Three-Eyes had closed the distance, striking Ben's chest. This palm strike could split mountains and shatter rock.
Once, a demon clan warrior with invincible defense had been killed by this very strike, his heart meridians severed, his internal organs shattered beyond repair.
Seeing that his palm had landed, Three-Eyes showed a look of joy.
However…
Before he could celebrate, a large hand gripped his arm.
"Is this the trump card you've been hiding?" Ben's voice was ice-cold. "If that's all you've got, then you can die now."
"Crack!"
Three-Eyes' arm bone was instantly crushed.
"Ahhh!"
Three-Eyes let out a miserable scream.
But he was ruthless! Instead of struggling, he used his left hand to perform a spirit energy slash, severing his own right arm!
"Pfft!!"
His right arm was cut off, brown blood splattering everywhere.
Three-Eyes endured the excruciating pain and quickly retreated, trying to create distance once more. He stared at Ben, his expression full of incomprehension.
He had encountered Armament Haki before and knew it strengthened defense, but wasn't it only supposed to make the body's surface harder?
Why was his ultimate strike ineffective against Ben's internal organs?
Three-Eyes never imagined that Ben's true defensive power came from the Body of Steel.
Even his internal organs were as hard as steel!
…
Looking at the severed arm in his hand, Ben was briefly stunned. He hadn't expected Three-Eyes to be so ruthless as to cut off his own limb.
But… what was the point?
Did he really think losing an arm would help him escape?
With a casual flick, Ben tossed the severed arm aside and refocused on Three-Eyes.
Then.
He clenched his fist, preparing his ultimate move—Fist Bone Impact.
A scarlet glow flickered around his iron fist.
This time, there would be no escape.
Opposite him, Three-Eyes was terrified!
He knew that if he didn't use his final trump card now, he'd die.
Thus, before Ben could throw his punch, the third eye on Three-Eyes' forehead suddenly opened!
The entire eyeball was black, but the pupil in the middle was a scarlet red, flashing with eerie light.
The moment the third eye opened—
Ben suddenly found himself unable to move.
"Huh?"
He was frozen in place, unable to even move a finger.
Only his eyes could shift.
He immediately looked at Three-Eyes, realizing that this was the strange trick he had been hiding.
However, Three-Eyes looked terrible—blood streamed from all seven orifices, his face pale as death.
Suddenly, Three-Eyes shouted:
"What are you waiting for?! I can't hold him for long—kill this human monster now! If he doesn't die, we're all dead!"
At that moment—
Many "corpses" on the arena began moving.
They weren't dead.
They quickly swarmed Ben, attacking him together.
Then—
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Thunderous footsteps echoed.
A one-eyed giant, over ten meters tall, rushed forward.
The moment he reached Ben, he jumped high into the air, then fell like a mountain, aiming directly at Ben!
"Boom!!"
A massive impact shook the arena.
The one-eyed giant's technique, Mount Tai Press, was devastating!
A deep crater formed in the ground.
As for Ben—
He had been smashed into the earth.
Even Three-Eyes was shocked. He spat out another mouthful of blood, unable to get up.
In the audience, gasps filled the air.
Had the monstrous Ben… finally been defeated?
To be continued…
