Chapter 485 [3 Chapters Combined] Hulk felt he had some real skills.
After declaring his victory, Afu strode leisurely toward his spoils, ready to deliver the final blow.
Witnessing this scene, Little Snake and the others tried their best to get closer to Jackie Chan and stop Ah Fu, but they were blocked by a large number of ninja soldiers.
In an instant, the little snake's screams, the old man's curses, and the bull warriors' and Alexei's roars were drowned out by the screams of the ninja soldiers who had an overwhelming numerical advantage. The despair of watching their comrades die before their eyes seeped into the very marrow of everyone's being like a cold mist.
But, just as Ah Fu raised his foot, and the shadow was about to engulf Jackie Chan, his head was caught completely off guard.
A sudden change has occurred!
In the very center of the hall, the air twisted violently without warning, until it condensed into a strange, silvery-gray curtain.
It appeared silently, yet instantly attracted everyone's attention, even the irrational lizard ninja soldiers were momentarily stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a roar filled with endless rage and pure destructive desire exploded from the chaotic depths of that dimensional barrier, resounding throughout the entire space.
"Hulk! Smash—!!!"
The last word, "smash," struck everyone's heart like a warhammer!
The next second, the chaotic scene of the dimensional barrier was violently shattered by a rapidly enlarging green figure!
Hulk leaped out of the dimensional barrier like a green cannonball!
Its massive body stretched out in the air, carrying an overwhelming force, and crashed down towards Afu's location!
"BOOM—!!!!!!!!!"
In that instant, a violent and terrifying impact rapidly spread outwards! It directly sent the unsuspecting Afu flying!
Yes, of course...
Even Ah Fu suffered a real loss. Having just been beaten down by Ah Fu, Jackie Chan, who also didn't have time to dodge, was naturally thrown into the air by the commotion caused by Hulk's landing, amidst his subconscious exclamation.
Fortunately, Hulk heard the commotion and promptly extended his green arm, thicker than a normal person's waist, to catch Jackie Chan safely with his fan-like hand. This prevented the injured Jackie Chan from having a "close encounter" with the ground and causing further injury.
"Thanks, Hulk." Jackie Chan coughed twice and nodded gratefully.
"Hmph! Hulk likes Bugs! You're Bugs' friend, so you're Hulk's friend!"
Hulk exhaled two puffs of white breath from his nose, tilted his head back slightly with a smug look, and seemed to be enjoying himself.
He then turned around, his burning, angry eyes locking onto Afu, who had just staggered to his feet dozens of meters away.
"You hurt Hulk's friend... Hulk is furious! Hulk will tear you to pieces—!!!"
Meanwhile, Afu, who had landed somewhat awkwardly, was shaking his buzzing head.
After a brief moment of shock, his martial arts fanatic instincts were completely ignited by Hulk's unprecedented body, which was full of pure power and beauty!
fear?
That's an emotion only the weak have!
At this moment, his heart was filled with boiling fighting spirit and excitement that had reached its peak!
"Hahaha! Let's see! Will you tear me to pieces first, or will I rip your head off first!"
That's why, faced with Hulk's undisguised hostility, Alfred not only did not back down at all, but instead laughed loudly and took the initiative to charge at Hulk!
"A spiral curl!"
He roared and lunged forward like a high-speed spinning drill, using his shoulder and elbow to slam into Hulk's waist and abdomen.
As one of the three numerical monsters in "Jackie Chan Adventures", this attack, which was infused with Ah Fu's full strength, was enough to break a stone pillar, but it only made Hulk's huge body sway slightly.
Hulk looked down, seemingly getting impatient with the "little bug" that kept bothering him, and raised his foot to stomp on it.
"Use a ponytail to swat flies!"
But Ah Fu was faster. He used the reaction force of the impact to spin around rapidly, and his fiery red hair, like a steel whip, lashed out at Hulk's face!
Although this move wouldn't cause Hulk any harm, his eyes, being the most vulnerable and sensitive part of the human body, inevitably made him squint.
In that instant, Afu changed his move again, and his body suddenly sank down!
"The sickle strikes the earth—!"
With a sharp shout, he drew a sharp arc with his right leg, which was close to the ground, and ruthlessly swept it across Hulk's ankle, the only part of his body that was on the ground supporting his weight!
Of course, under normal circumstances, Hulk, whose stats far surpass those of Alfred, would be far more formidable than Alfred, even if he were standing on only one foot. Even a single toe would be far more dangerous for him.
However, just like when they first met in Mexico, Jackie Chan was able to kick the Hulk away with one kick. As Riley's side gradually became stronger, the dark energy that was constantly exerting its power in secret gave Afu even greater power!
That's why, after being hit by a powerful blow that far exceeded expectations, Hulk's massive body actually lost its balance and crashed forward, shaking the ground again!
"We succeeded!"
Afu's eyes gleamed; how could he let go of such a golden opportunity?
Just as Hulk roared and propped himself up, Alfred leaped up again.
"The mischievous monkey unleashes his power!"
He leaped up as nimbly as a monkey, braced his hands on Hulk's broad shoulders, and used the momentum to somersault forward, flexibly landing directly in front of Hulk and stepping on Hulk's chest!
"The Angry Octopus!"
The next second, Ah Fu's fists turned into a blurry afterimage, like countless tentacles of an enraged octopus, slamming into Hulk's face and chest with a shrill shriek that tore through the air!
The speed of his punches and the concentration of his power represented the pinnacle of his life!
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"
The dense, drum-like impacts instantly resounded throughout the entire hall.
Hulk was hit by this sudden close-range attack, causing his head to tilt back slightly.
However, at the same time, his green skin and muscles became even more clearly visible as the veins bulged out.
Without a doubt, Hulk has been thoroughly enraged by Alfred's increasingly audacious behavior!
"Hulk is angry! Roar—!!!"
Hulk let out a deafening roar, his massive arms lashing out wildly forward, trying to catch the annoying "fly".
However, the moment Hulk made a move, Afu interrupted his combo, lightly jumped back and landed, creating a distance of several meters behind him.
"Hmph, nothing special! I'll show you what true martial arts are!"
Seeing that his combo seemed to be working, forcing the terrifying green giant to roar in anger, an unprecedented sense of pride and arrogance welled up in Afu's heart.
He felt he had figured out the giant's true nature—he possessed brute strength but was slow-witted and completely lacked any fighting skills! He was no match for him at all!
Then, after winning two consecutive rounds, Ah Fu, whose mentality was extremely inflated, deliberately did not continue to attack Hulk. Instead, he let Hulk stand up while he spread his arms and made an extremely exaggerated, dramatic, but flashy and impractical "intimidating" pose. He even dragged out the words and recited the impromptu, meaningless move names.
"Watch closely, this move is called 'Little Fish Swimming in Water, Whale Swinging'..."
The last syllable of his "tail" was still lingering on the tip of his tongue, and he hadn't even gotten into the proper pose for his show-off move—
Hulk moved.
There were no fancy techniques, not even the slightest warning before launching an attack.
The green giant, who had been passively taking hits and seemed to only be capable of impotent rage, locked his eyes, burning with the most primal fury that had been completely ignited, onto Alfred, who was posing and spouting nonsense.
Then, Hulk twisted his waist, lowered his shoulders, and leaped into the air like a cannonball, heading straight for Alfred's face. At the same time, he launched a powerful straight punch with zero frames!
Before Afu's smug and arrogant smile could even turn into astonishment, his vision was completely filled by a fist that kept growing larger and was blindingly green!
"Bang--!!!!!!"
Accompanied by a muffled thud that made Afu's soul tremble!
Time seemed to stretch out at that moment.
Afu clearly heard the sound of his nasal bone shattering like glass. He felt the intense pain of his facial bones instantly deforming and collapsing, and the irresistible, terrifying force, as if he were being violently rammed head-on by a high-speed, hundred-ton behemoth, was ruthlessly pouring into his body!
"Ugh... Ah—!!!"
All of Afu's consciousness, all his pride, and all his martial arts insights turned into the most insignificant dust in the face of this punch with its "full-force technique".
He didn't even last a second before he turned into a straight, blurry afterimage and flew backward at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!
After he uncontrollably crashed through three thick stone pillars and finally slammed into the rock wall, creating a deep crater, he finally managed to slide down, his body limp and weak. Countless bones in his body were broken. His face was covered in blood, and he was seeing stars. The once smug Afu was now nothing but unconscious convulsions and painful groans squeezed from deep in his throat.
"Hulk! I'm going to crush you—!"
Of course, when completely enraged, Hulk wouldn't let Alfred off so easily. With bloodshot eyes fixed on him, roaring furiously, he leaped into the air again the instant his feet touched the ground, raising his fists high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Alfred!
"Cough...cough cough...What do you want to do? Let me go! I...I can still fight...!"
However, just as Hulk jumped, the shadow where Alfred had collapsed suddenly writhed.
Four or five dark green ninja soldiers, who had clearly received prior emergency orders, darted out like lightning.
Ignoring Afu's weak, blood-stained struggles and mutterings, they lifted the nearly destroyed body as quickly as possible.
The next second, they, along with the unconscious Afu, sank rapidly. As if sinking into a black abyss, they vanished without a trace in an instant.
Clearly, the Holy Lord did not actually "sell" Afu.
After all, the Mafia trio was only forced to assist Shendu out of concern for Valmont, and the Mafia was completely disbanded under the attack of Section 13...
How could the Holy Lord easily abandon Ah Fu, the "excellent tool" who was finally found and had just proven his strength with his actions, enough to take down Jackie Chan one-on-one?
As Ah Fu was rescued, the aura of the Holy Lord completely disappeared.
As well as the ninja soldiers in the main hall, due to the departure of the Holy Lord, they will no longer frequently appear to replenish the losses from battles. Instead, in a true sense, each one eliminated is one less to be lost.
Meanwhile, Hulk, having failed to completely flatten the annoying bald man with a single punch, felt his rage simmering like a volcano with its pent-up anger. With Alfred, the "main target," gone, his pent-up fury naturally shifted to the still-sprawling "insects" before him. There was no need for the ninja soldiers to provoke him further; their very existence became the perfect outlet for Hulk's rage.
"roar--!!!"
Hulk let out a deep growl, his eyes gleaming green. He didn't even bother with "complex" movements like charging or pounding; he simply stood firmly in place, feet slightly apart, shoulders relaxed and elbows dropped, slowly raising his two giant green hands, comparable to battering rams, to face each other in front of his chest.
Just as Hulk was poised to strike, an urgent voice suddenly rang out:
"Find cover! Quickly!"
It's Jackie Chan!
While searching for the bull charm in Mexico, he witnessed Hulk use this seemingly childish but terrifying method to send Riley flying!
Therefore, when Jackie Chan saw Hulk adopt that familiar starting stance, he felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly looked for sturdy cover nearby while using all his strength to warn all his companions.
The little snake reacted the fastest, and upon hearing the sound, it pounced without hesitation behind the nearest, thick stone pillar whose overall structure was still intact.
The bull warrior let out a low growl, flung away the three ninja soldiers who pounced on him, and then rolled to the side to hide behind the overturned altar base.
Alexei's "Justice" system calculated the best evasive path the instant Jackie Chan issued the warning.
Then, he grabbed his father, who had difficulty walking, and held him tightly in his arms before charging forward with his massive body. Just a second before Hulk's hand closed, he moved as far away from Hulk as possible, turning his back to Hulk and curling up on the ground. He used his tough, fleshy body to act as a reliable human shield for his father.
Just as everyone had hidden themselves—
"Smack—!!!!"
A crisp, short, yet terrifying sound, powerful enough to shatter eardrums, suddenly exploded in the center of the hall!
That was pure, extreme physical force, released instantly in an extremely small space, compressing and breaking through the air to the extreme, producing a terrifying sonic boom!
Even the propagation of sound cannot keep up with the speed of explosive force!
Before the sound could fully spread, a visible, solid, milky-white ring-shaped shockwave, as solid as a crystal wall, emanated from Hulk's clasped hands and spread rapidly in all directions, displaying an all-destroying posture!
Where the shockwave passed, time seemed to slow down:
Those dark green lizard ninjas, still roaring and charging forward, were the first to be hit.
Their tough, scaly bodies offered no resistance whatsoever. Like sand sculptures swept by a raging storm, they silently crumbled and shattered upon contact with the white ring wall, turning into the finest black dust. They didn't even bother with the process of dissipating into black smoke, returning directly to the embrace of the Shadow Kingdom.
The debris left from the previous battle, whether stones or metal, was simultaneously propelled outwards by the impact, transforming into a terrifying storm of death!
Further away, the already crumbling stone pillars and walls were swept by this shockwave and instantly shattered under its strain, with large amounts of stone dust and debris falling down, shrouding the entire area in a gray haze!
The entire process was devoid of fire or magical effects; it was simply a raw and primal outpouring of power.
The white shock ring swept across every corner of the hall in the blink of an eye, then quickly dissipated into the air.
When the dust slowly settled and the still-shaken crowd gathered together again, the hall was deathly silent.
The seemingly endless roars of ninja soldiers and the clanging of weapons that had just filled my ears have now completely disappeared.
Within their field of vision, not a single enemy could be seen still moving, not even a slightly larger piece of enemy remains. It was as if the shadowy legion that had previously given the Dragon Team such a hard time had never actually appeared.
With a single blow, Hulk cleared the area!
Of course, this is all thanks to the immortal god who, when building this Taoist temple, specially reinforced the load-bearing structure to ensure the safety of the Panku Treasure Box.
Even after the passage of time and the loss of most of the material's properties, it still withstood the Hulk's terrifying strength and steadily supported the Taoist temple.
Otherwise, Hulk's indiscriminate attack, unleashed in his rage, would likely have already completely destroyed the Taoist temple.
Jackie Chan and the others, who were unable to escape the Taoist temple in time, were buried by the collapsed temple, resulting in a fate where no one survived except for Hulk!
That's why, after everyone was sure they were all safe and sound and breathed a sigh of relief, they all turned to look at Hulk with complicated expressions.
With the complete annihilation of the Shadow Legion, the boiling rage in Hulk's chest receded rapidly like a tide.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping over Little Snake, Bull Warrior, Alexei, and Old Man, their figures covered in dust and looking disheveled, before finally settling on Jackie Chan.
Seeing their disheveled appearance, a "kind" smile suddenly popped into Hulk's mind...
That was a smile that Riley only showed when he was angry, a smile that was enough to send chills down Hulk's spine.
"Well……"
Thinking of this, Hulk's massive body involuntarily trembled.
The rage and fury emanating from his entire body vanished instantly, and even Hulk's eyes became clear.
He turned his head away guiltily, not daring to meet the eyes of the crowd.
Clearly, Hulk was starting to get scared. He wondered how Riley would "treat" him once he found out, and...
Hulk, who was supposed to help everyone escape their predicament, nearly killed them due to his emotional outburst...
Will Jackie Chan and his friends be like the people Hulk has encountered before, feeling fear and resistance towards Hulk, viewing him as an uncontrollable, dangerous monster that only causes destruction...?
A slightly oppressive silence spread through the dilapidated hall. Even the occasional soft thud of falling debris became clearly audible to everyone present.
"Goodness...this is even bigger than what happened in Mexico."
Fortunately, just as Hulk was feeling uneasy and his muscular body visibly shrank a bit, the situation improved.
Jackie Chan glanced at Hulk with lingering fear.
But soon, he noticed Hulk's obviously cowering posture and his constantly shifty, guilty eyes.
This reminded Jackie Chan of Riley's description of Hulk when he was in Mexico, claiming that the terrifying-looking Hulk was just a child who was severely insecure and instinctively seeking self-preservation.
In addition, having a mischievous and troublesome niece named Jade has given Jackie Chan a wealth of experience in "raising children" and "understanding the psychology of troublemakers."
This made Jackie Chan understand almost instantly what this seemingly indestructible giant was worried and afraid of at that moment.
After a brief moment of thought, Jackie Chan, ignoring the silent obstruction of Little Snake and the others who stared wide-eyed and waved their hands repeatedly, walked out from behind the stone pillar that had been concealing his body.
He casually brushed the dust off his clothes to make himself look less disheveled, then walked over to Hulk on his own.
Looking up at his green companion, who was much taller than him, Jackie Chan revealed a gentle smile that showed no resentment or blame, but rather sincerity.
"Thanks, big guy. We really owe you a lot this time, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."
As he spoke, Jackie Chan naturally raised his hand and gently patted the outside of Hulk's forearm, which was as hard and strong as granite.
In every gesture, there was no trace of fear, hypocrisy, or probing, only heartfelt gratitude and affection, as if comforting a helpless child.
Hulk's tense body gradually relaxed, and he stopped avoiding Jackie Chan's gaze.
Jackie Chan then withdrew his hand and asked Hulk the question that had been lingering in his mind ever since he saw Hulk appear from the dimensional wall.
"But speaking of which, why are you the one who came? Where's Riley?"
It's worth mentioning that...
As mentioned earlier, due to Riley's influence, Banner and Hulk had already reached a reconciliation while they were in Mexico.
Since that day, Banner has spent a lot of time and effort privately communicating with and guiding Hulk.
This inner harmony and education allowed Hulk to rapidly grow from a "giant baby" who acted entirely on instinct and could only express his emotions through short phrases and roars.
Today, although Hulk's vocabulary is still limited, he has grown from an "infant" whose words were intermittent and whose meaning was difficult to understand, into a "teenager" who can speak clearly and communicate normally when calm.
"The little bug is in New York and can't get away."
That's why, when Jackie Chan asked him, Hulk only thought for a moment before giving a concise answer.
"When the little bug came to Hulk, he said there was new trouble in the city, and it was invaders from another dimension. So he couldn't get away for the time being, which is why he came to Hulk for help."
