The Barney, who had just been torn in half by the [Duan Kong Jiong Lie Zhan]'s (Severing Space Blazing Fierce Slash) shockwave, was back to normal when Xiao Tan looked back.

At this moment, he was standing with his legs crossed in a debonair manner, one hand on Mingzhixin's shoulder, and the other holding a carrot he didn't know where he had pulled out from, putting it into his mouth.

Judging from his lip movements, he was again saying that line to the Warring States' captain: "What's up, doc?"

"How is this possible..." Facing this familiar scene, Mingzhixin was shocked and angry. Just like last time, she was unable to move because Bugs Bunny had pressed down on her shoulder. "Even a Shijinshen (Four Pillar God) wouldn't be unscathed after taking such a slash..."

"Tsk tsk..." Barney chewed on the carrot and said with a smile, "You're right, buddy, but... in actual combat, your comparative way of thinking is meaningless."

At this moment, both Takeda Tomo and Uesugi Jin had collapsed to the ground due to extreme overexertion of spiritual energy and physical strength, and were unable to get up and interfere. Therefore, Barney seemed very relaxed when he spoke, and his speed was not fast.

"To make an analogy, the defensive ability of a Shijinshen (Four Pillar God) level is like hard metal; while I am just a piece of plastic." Barney explained leisurely, "Metal has better performance than plastic in the face of most attacks. But... there is one exception, and that is when encountering HF (hydrofluoric acid)." He paused, looked at Mingzhixin, and smiled, "Your companion's move... is like HF; it can even corrode metal, but... it has no effect on plastic."

"You..." Hearing this, Mingzhixin also reacted, "Slashes are ineffective against you..."

"Ha..." Barney smiled without saying a word.

He didn't give the other party a definite answer in order to avoid being put in a passive position when they met again in the future.

In fact... Barney wasn't "immune to slashes." If he really was fine no matter how he was cut, he wouldn't have needed to dodge and evade in the previous entanglement with Oda Ai.

Barney's real characteristic was "immunity to slashes above a certain level of speed and power"; that is to say, he would still be injured when encountering those slashes that weren't too fast or too strong. It's just that... he could easily avoid such slashes with his physical skills, and wouldn't be hit at all.

"You know enough." Barney said, "Then... please return to your own world, otherworldly traveler."

After saying that, he took out from behind... yes, it was "behind"... a large hammer that was taller than himself, with the words "1t (i.e. one ton)" written on the hammer.

Mingzhixin still didn't know how to crack Bugs Bunny's "one-handed suppression" ability, so she could only stand there and watch the other party smash the hammer over.

Bang—

After a loud bang, another Warring States player was declared dead.

"Then, next..." Barney knocked out Mingzhixin, then carried the hammer on his shoulder and turned to look at Takeda Tomo and Uesugi Jin, "I'll send you on your way too."

At the same time, on the side of Bugs Fat Bro...

"Damn it!" Watching his teammates in the distance being killed one by one, Oda Ai was anxious and furious.

However, Bugs Fat Bro in front of her didn't give her any chance to leave.

"You are very strong... young lady." Fat Bro had already activated both the Zhuan Long Breathing Technique and the Mushō Tensei (Reincarnation of the Unconscious), able to dodge and block with ease, "Unfortunately, you rely too much on your combat instincts, which has become a burden for you instead."

"What are you babbling on about... I don't understand!" Oda Ai really had no interest in listening to Fat Bro's guidance. She was a standard action-taker, and she would rather strike a few more times than stop to think.

"Hehe..." Fat Bro continued with a smile, "Then let me be more specific..." While dealing with the attacks, he said unhurriedly, "You have a high talent in close combat. Ordinary people need to think for a short time to understand things, but you already know them by instinct. In short... you are a genius." He paused for half a second before saying, "But... even geniuses need to work hard. Maybe you 'don't need to think', but that doesn't mean you can take it for granted and 'not think'; the latter... is a very bad habit, and you have already developed it."

"Nonsense!" Oda Ai was very unconvinced, "If I can win without thinking, why should I think!"

"Because... those who think will be stronger." Fat Bro replied calmly.

At this moment, Oda Ai's expression changed, and she heard something from the other party's words...

"That's right." Fat Bro also noticed the change in the other party's expression, and immediately continued, "I... am also a genius." His tone was very calm, without any hint of boasting or exaggeration, "I have been called the most talented man with the most gorgeous moves in the last two thousand years of Duan Mao Shen Quan (Short Hair Divine Fist)..."

As he spoke, his fighting spirit was faintly increasing.

"But, a genius... may not be able to become a grandmaster."

Along with the rising fighting spirit, there was also a surge of killing intent.

"There are many powerful people in this world, and there are not a few who can be called geniuses. But... there are only a handful of truly first-class martial artists; those who can be called grandmasters... are even rarer."

While Fat Bro was saying these words, Oda Ai's offensive intensified once again, because her fighting instincts told her... something extremely bad was about to happen.

Or rather... it was already happening.

"In terms of destructive power, speed, and moves alone... maybe your strength is already above mine." Fat Bro strolled freely and calmly through the other party's sword skills, "But, as a martial artist, the gap between your realm and mine is too great... In my opinion, you are almost a beginner." He shook his head, "Even with amazing power, without the technique to perfectly display it, it is all in vain..."

These words were simply the most thorough slap in the face for the proud Oda Ai. But she was speechless, because she understood in her heart... that what the other party said was the truth.

"Of course, you may not be able to comprehend everything I said in a short period of time." Fat Bro seemed to have said everything he needed to say, so...

"Let you experience the gap between you and me as martial artists."

With these words, his fighting spirit exploded, and his ultimate move suddenly appeared.

Fat Bro's arms bent and stretched, expanding in front of his chest, and he shouted sharply: "Duan Mao You Qing Duan Xun Quan (Short Hair Affectionate Severing Swift Fist)!"

The words ended, and the move also ended.

Fat Bro's figure appeared behind Oda Ai as if he had teleported, while Oda Ai stood there... motionless.

"To think there would be..." She stared blankly ahead, muttering, "...such a thing..."

Pupu pupupu—

Half a second later, a burst of firecracker-like rapid fighting spirit exploded on Oda Ai, as if she had been punched dozens of times in an instant, and she flew backwards, her survival value dropping to zero.
