BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38 - 38 The Nuclear Powered Fist God_1
The sound of the waves never ceased to reach the shore of the harbor.
Beneath the clear moonlight, this soul-stirring sound of the waves was somewhat of a buzzkill.
Xiao Fengchen, carrying a briefcase in his left hand and pressing tightly on his black hat with his right, glanced constantly at pedestrians ahead and behind through his thick lenses, as if he feared someone might discover his escape.
He had taken a ferry tonight on short notice.
If he were lucky, the Federation Research Institute wouldn’t discover his escape until eleven o’clock tonight.
But if he wasn’t lucky…
“Professor Xiao.” Suddenly, a voice sounded not far behind him.
Xiao Fengchen’s complexion changed, and he cursed under his breath.
As if he hadn’t heard, he quickened his pace to leave, not caring as his hat was whisked away by the fierce night wind and he immediately broke into a run.
He ran for he didn’t know how long.
He plunged headfirst into the jungle.
Gasping for air, he kept feeling for the trunks and continued running forward.
He heard the laughter of young men and women and soon saw several tents.
Under the campfire, his sudden appearance startled everyone.
Fog enveloped the area without anyone noticing.
An icy cold wind blew in gusts.
But footsteps behind him kept coming, seeming to get closer and closer.
Xiao Fengchen’s face was ashen.
It was over.
His guesses hadn’t been wrong.
Indeed, the Institute had noticed something was off with him; had he not seen the Investigation Team during a chat with the parking lot janitor, he might still be oblivious, passing intelligence to the Old Gods Association and getting captured for a brutal interrogation.
He stumbled.
Xiao Fengchen fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, suddenly a Vine Man sprang from behind, wrapping around his legs.
Xiao Fengchen’s face was filled with terror.
“No, no! Let go of me!!!”
Out of the fog, two men in black suits and sunglasses appeared, one’s arm turned into a Vine Man, connecting to Xiao Fengchen’s leg.
With a lift of his hand.
Xiao Fengchen was hoisted by his left leg high into the air.
The nearby young men and women were startled, letting out screams.
“What do we do?” Vine Man looked over.
“I’ll handle it.” The long-haired man in sunglasses spoke indifferently, a long knife appearing in his hand as his figure vanished from the spot.
Amid screams, Vine Man walked over unhurriedly, a faint smile on his face as he looked at Xiao Fengchen hanging in mid-air: “Professor Xiao, what are you doing in Da Peng City late at night instead of conducting experiments at the research institute?”
Xiao Fengchen’s face was deathly pale, especially seeing that these people didn’t spare even ordinary people, killing them to silence any witnesses; he was even more shocked!
Retreating in horror, he exclaimed, “Who the hell are you? I just came here to buy supplies; let me go or you’ll regret it!”
Vine Man revealed a sinister smile: “Professor Xiao, there’s no point in pretending now. Come with us. I hope you can maintain your innocence on the cross.”
Countless Vines wrapped around Xiao Fengchen like a cocoon, gradually enclosing him.
To the side, the long-haired man in sunglasses cleaned the blood off his blade and frowned, “There are no wild animals around here; what a nuisance. Dealing with this kind of trouble whenever we go out, if the boss finds out we’ve been negligent, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“Luckily, we’ve caught a traitor; that should offset our mistake.”
Not far away.
Silver Art looked towards Pei Jinye, waiting for his command.
Pei Jinye said calmly, “It seems we’ve overthought it; the other side hasn’t turned. Let’s save him first; we’ll leave the interrogation to those above.”
Silver Art nodded his head.
“Shall I begin?”
“Hmm.”
Having received Pei Jinye’s nod of approval, Silver Art rushed out swiftly.
Silver light sparkled.
In an instant, the woods were as bright as day.
Pei Jinye:
Damn, don’t go all-out and accidentally kill Professor Xiao!
He glanced in the direction and rushed out as well.
Not forgetting to cast two Psychic Power Identification Techniques.
[6.7-7]
[6-7.1]
“Damn! Their upper limit is higher than mine!”
Pei Jinye cursed under his breath, pulled out a Titanium Alloy Knife from his waist, and slashed directly at the Vine that had entangled Xiao Fengchen.
“Who’s there!”
Vine Man abruptly caught sight of the Sword Light and cried out in alarm.
He grabbed with his other hand.
But the next second, Silver Art extended his hand and swiped in front of him, where silver light tore through the void and directly shattered the countless Vine Men in front of him.
“Damn, it’s him! Number 17 on the Black List, Silver Art!” the Vine Man exclaimed in alarm.
The long-haired man in sunglasses next to him sneered, “Just as I thought, there’s a connection with the Old Gods Association!”
A sword hung at his waist.
His figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Leaving only his words drifting in the air, “You deal with him, I’ll take care of the rest!”
The Vine Man rapidly grew new Vine Men, like Tree Dragons, splitting into two, one wave charging at Silver Art, the other attacking Pei Jinye who was approaching the cocoon.
Pei Jinye’s wrist was entangled by a Vine Man.
He swung his sword to cut.
He barely managed to cut halfway through when new Vine Men appeared, their speed incredibly fast and their numbers even greater.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help frowning.
They were tough to deal with.
He cast the Appraisal Technique.
Five meters away, the opponent’s spiritual power had declined by 0.1, leaving 6.6 remaining.
Waiting like this, enduring a hard fight, was not the solution.
With a thought,
Golden Armor!
The ability of Jin Wuji was quietly employed. Under the dazzling light from Silver Art, it was barely noticeable, especially since he deliberately wore long sleeves to avoid exposing a skin surface as unseemly as Jin Wuji’s.
Pei Jinye felt a sudden surge of power and violently yanked, tearing the Vine Man on his wrist to shreds with a “rip”.
“What!”
The Vine Man was shocked.
The next moment.
Pei Jinye gave up chasing Xiao Fengchen and lifted his sword to slash directly at him.
The Technique “Quake” was activated simultaneously.
The sword wind surged out, striking the Vine Men blocking the attack in front of him. The crisp slashing movement was hindered and turned out to be not as ferocious as a punch.
So the next moment, Pei Jinye simply dropped the sword, pouncing forward with the vigor of a live dragon, carrying a rush of wind and thunder.
After many days of battling solely with his Physical Body Strength against Tang Huoyang, he had already honed a great deal of experience.
Now employing the Transcendent Body·Diamond ability meant breaking the previous limits, as his physical body strength rapidly soared several folds.
Recalling Jin Wuji’s terrifying battle record of being invincible with his Golden Armor, one could only imagine the frightening potential of such Extraordinary-Human Genes.
The Vine Men he touched were mercilessly torn apart, as if everything was as fragile as paper mache in his hands.
The Vine Man’s eyes were wide with shock.
“Holy shit, this physical body strength!”
Without any hesitation, he turned and shouted for help, “Light Sword, save me!”
“Clang!” A spray of sparks erupted beside Silver Art.
A figure that had suddenly appeared from the shadows quickly faded after striking with his sword, elusive as an uncertain shadow that couldn’t be traced, hastily escaping to where the Vine Man was.
“Get over here!”
Within three feet, Pei Jinye grabbed a Vine Man and forcefully pulled the Vine Man over to himself, his massive fist crashing down on that terrified face.
“Bang!”
A figure suddenly hit the ground.
The ground was forcefully blasted into a pit.
The Vine Man’s head sank more than ten centimeters into the ground, bleeding from every orifice, his body convulsing.
“Bang!”
Sword Light suddenly fell.
In an instant, Pei Jinye was knocked back three to five steps.
He looked down.
A bloody mark appeared on his shoulder, but there was no blood flowing.
Thankfully he had the Golden Armor Defense; otherwise, that last sword strike would have been enough to pierce through half his body.
Pei Jinye’s gaze sharpened.
He hadn’t even noticed how the opponent appeared.
Silver Art’s voice came quickly, “It’s a Shadow System Transcendent who can transform himself into a shadow. In the night, he’s on his home turf.”
“You light it up. I’ll sense his position and call it out, and together we’ll take him down!” Pei Jinye said decisively.
Silver Art charged forward and immediately went all out.
This time the silver light shone even more ferociously.
A shadowy figure swiftly rose, grabbed the still-twitching Vine Man, and quickly fled towards the darkness in the rear.
Pei Jinye hurriedly gave chase.
Then, the forest shuddered, the ground shaking cataclysmically, and a rolling dust cloud rose several meters high, billowing in all directions.
Silver Art’s mouth gaped open.
“The Demon King… he couldn’t be the Nuclear Powered Fist God, could he?”
