Chapter 444: You’re Too Strong
Alex was launched, flying to the ground across to the opposite end.
Jada gasped as Izumi took a step back.
Even in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode—a state that rivaled the Six Paths power—Arthur had managed to cross the distance and land a clean hit before Alex could even finish his sentence.
Steam rose from Arthur’s knuckles as he hovered there in midair. "I was coming for you next anyway..."
On the far side, Alex peeled himself off the floor. His flames flickered erratically before stabilizing. Then he felt it as he touched his nose: blood. It ran down his chin, staining the pristine white chakra cloak.
Alex stared at it with widened eyes. He was shocked. No, he was beyond that; he was utterly bewildered. Not a single person had ever made him bleed before!
Slowly, the shock morphed as his mouth twitched upward.
Izumi watched him, disturbed, because she couldn’t fathom why he was still smiling.
"Okay," he laughed, wiping the blood away. "Let’s see what ya got then!" He raised his right arm, causing a dense ball of golden chakra to begin to form in his palm. "Golden wheel rebirth ex—"
Arthur appeared right in front of Alex again. This time, as Alex thrust his palm forward, Arthur reached out and grabbed his wrist. One flare of Arthur’s eyes, and the momentum stopped instantly as the golden chakra dissipated.
Alex’s mouth gaped open. He hadn’t even seen when Arthur closed the distance.
When Alex looked down at his captured wrist and then up at Arthur’s face, Arthur backhanded him.
