Chapter 432: Mad Dance Of Infinity
There was a moment of silence between Kaito and Jasper. The former didn’t need to speak to understand just how troubling dealing with someone with the Eight Inner Gates was.
By the time Kaito flared his eyes to respond, Jasper ran forward, breaking the earth with each step.
Kaito’s first instinct was to block or counter a direct punch, but instead of the punch he expected, Jasper feinted and appeared behind him. Then Jasper’s hand shot out in a four-hit combo.
The first strike was a jab to the ribs. Next was a spin kick that connected on Kaito’s head. The third was a low leg sweep that knocked off balance. Then, while Kaito was still in mid-air, the last was a knee to his back that forced Kaito skyrocketing upward.
Wind rushed past his ears, and for a moment, all he could hear was the rush of air.
Everything had been so quick that although he had seen the attacks, his body wasn’t able to react in time. It was the kind of attack that reminded Kaito of his last training session against Arthur, someone who was simply impossible to guard against when he got serious.
Being compared to Arthur alone made one thing clear: Kaito had to stay very sharp now.
He quickly flipped mid-air before trying to regain control. But before he could do more, Jasper reappeared behind him. He didn’t even have time to turn as Jasper’s arms wrapped around him, locking him in a hold. Then, in the same motion, Jasper shifted their weight, driving them both downward.
"Severe primary lotus!" Jasper hissed.
The two crashed down to the ground with a deafening impact. That taijutsu attack, reminiscent of Might Guy’s Primary Lotus, was executed at more than seventy feet in the air!
Dust and debris flew out as Kaito was seen crouched inside a crater. He was gravely annoyed but still able to continue fighting. His body also hurt with internal bruises that were healing.
If he hadn’t used the Cellular Activation technique in time, he might have been in a more terrible position. Yet that didn’t stop his injuries from being excruciatingly painful.
