Chapter 185: Don't Panic! A Punch Causing an Earthquake is Perfectly Normal

Zhao Zheng's Heat Ray, while considered one of his weaker abilities, was still formidable. In reality, his current Heat Ray was quite powerful, more than enough to kill an ordinary Psychic!

Most importantly, this move had a long range and an extremely fast attack speed, making it almost impossible to defend against.

When everyone saw two red laser beams suddenly shoot out from Zhao Zheng's eyes, directly piercing through the bald man, they were all terrified, their faces drained of color.

To the Nomads, this young man was incredibly strong, with a multitude of abilities. Even Song Haitang was somewhat surprised. This was the first time she had seen Zhao Zheng use the Heat Ray!

After intimidating the Nomads, Zhao Zheng continued to torment Hu Ge. He no longer used his fists but instead stomped on Hu Ge's chest with his foot. Whenever Hu Ge managed to recover slightly, Zhao Zheng would use the Quake Fruit Technique to shatter his entire body, repeating the process over and over again.

Hu Ge was in a state worse than death!

His self-healing ability was weakening, and the time it took to recover was getting longer. Each self-healing attempt consumed more of his internal energy.

Finally, after a difficult recovery, Hu Ge, while Zhao Zheng was about to strike again, spat out blood and pleaded in despair:

"Kill me... Just kill me..."

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly upon hearing this:

"From your appearance, you must be a Nomad, right? I've heard about your kind. When survivors fall into your hands, they suffer worse than death. The pain you're enduring now is just paying back what you owe."

With that, Zhao Zheng once again shattered Hu Ge's body with the Quake Fruit Technique.

The Quake Fruit Technique wasn't limited to just the hands; it could also be used with the feet. In the original story, during the Summit War, White Beard once descended from the sky and stomped on Crimson Dog with his foot, which was enveloped in a white aura, though Crimson Dog managed to dodge it.

Another shattering, the immense pain caused Hu Ge's body to convulse, his pupils dilating, clearly on the brink of collapse.

The remaining Nomads, upon seeing this, were filled with dread. They knew that once that demon finished with Hu Ge, none of them would escape.

"Damn it! We're dead if we stay here. Brothers, let's fight him!"

Suddenly, a tall and muscular man in the crowd roared.

The Nomads around him instinctively charged at Zhao Zheng.

However, the man who shouted the war cry quickly retreated and fled towards the exit.

Zhao Zheng, upon seeing this, sneered and punched the air.

A shockwave erupted!

"Bang!!"

It was as if the void itself had been shattered. A loud explosion echoed through the basement.

Then, a powerful hurricane appeared, carrying countless wind blades like a meat grinder, instantly shredding all the Psychics into pieces.

As for the quick-witted one who had tried to escape, he seemed to be a defensive-type Psychic and didn't die. He only lost a layer of skin on his back, flew out, and crashed into the wall, landing heavily, dazed and disoriented.

"Ah!"

This man let out a miserable scream, his eyes filled with deep fear, as if he had seen a demon.

A single punch's shockwave could kill them?

This young man was so strong, it was utterly despairing!

...

"Zhao Zheng, we have important matters to attend to. Let's finish this quickly!"

After Zhao Zheng had tormented Hu Ge once more, Song Haitang reminded him.

Zhao Zheng turned and saw the anxious look on the young girl's face beside Song Haitang. He guessed that the important matter Song Haitang mentioned was related to this girl, so he smiled and nodded.

At this point, Hu Ge was almost at the end of his rope, his recovery ability slowing down significantly.

Thus, Zhao Zheng stepped forward and crushed Hu Ge's entire head with his foot.

To ensure Hu Ge wouldn't survive, Song Haitang set his headless body on fire, burning it completely.

Then, the three of them left the basement and headed outside.

With Zhao Zheng around, Song Haitang wasn't afraid of being attacked by monsters.

"Haitang, what important matter did you mention earlier?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"Let's go save people first!"

Song Haitang looked at Han Minna and asked, "We're going to save your Uncle San and the others. Can you still lead the way?"

Han Minna, pale and weak from blood loss, looked extremely frail. But when she heard Song Haitang's words, she perked up, her eyes filled with hope, and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Yes!"

"Then lead the way!"

"This way, follow me!"

Han Minna bit her lip to stay alert, her steps unsteady as she led the way.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng knew the girl was at her limit, so he asked, "How far away are the people we need to save?"

Han Minna held a hint of reverence for Zhao Zhe and promptly replied, "About... twenty-five kilometers or so."

"Twenty-five kilometers? At this pace, how long will it take to get there?"

Zhao Zhe took a step forward, first holding Song Haitang in his arms, then grabbing the shoulder straps on the girl's back, lifting her up directly.

With his current strength, carrying two people was effortless.

The next moment, Zhao Zhe soared into the air with the two girls.

Song Haitang remained calm, but the girl, who was flying for the first time, screamed in fright.

"Show me the way! Which direction should we fly?"

The girl quickly closed her mouth and pointed forward.

"Huff!"

Zhao Zhe swiftly flew off with the two of them.

Han Minna instantly felt the immense airflow, forcing her eyes shut, while the sound of the wind howled in her ears.

And this was with Zhao Zhe intentionally controlling his speed.

If he were to fly at full speed, the enormous air resistance would be too much for Song Haitang's body to bear.

As for Han Minna, an ordinary person, she might disintegrate in an instant...

"Haitang, when I entered this world, I sensed your location and flew straight here," Zhao Zhe explained.

"With my flying speed, I could have reached you within an hour, but this world does have quite a few monsters, and they blocked my path along the way..."

"Especially on the coast, there was a troublesome aberration. That thing not only ambushed me but also used illusions. I was caught off guard and trapped for a long time before I could escape."

Zhao Zhe explained the reason for his delay.

Upon hearing this, Song Haitang immediately asked, "Are you injured?"

Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "No. After being affected by the illusion, my consciousness was pulled into another space. The aberration wanted to kill my consciousness and then occupy my body, but it didn't know that my mental power is also strong. I managed to counter-kill it."

Although Zhao Zhe spoke casually, Song Haitang knew that the situation must have been extremely dangerous!

Aberrations were indeed aberrations, and their methods were so bizarre, making them far more troublesome than those monsters!

Han Minna, standing beside them, was stunned by what she heard.

The friend of Miss September was talking about killing an aberration?

Aberrations were that dangerous? Song Haitang's face was filled with worry. "Since that's the case, I think it's better for us to retreat early."

But Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "Aberrations are a bit tricky, but killing them has additional benefits!"

"After I killed the aberration on the coast, a valuable item dropped. I'll show it to you later."

Song Haitang nodded. "Okay."

As they spoke, Zhao Zhe flew over twenty kilometers with the two women.

Han Minna seemed to notice something and suddenly pointed to a spot in front of them, exclaiming, "Over there!"

She was pointing to a wasteland with a huge pit in the middle, where many captured survivors were gathered.

Numerous people were guarding the pit, and beside them were many oddly-shaped, cyberpunk-styled vehicles.

One of the vehicles was particularly large, seemingly a modified truck.

A woman was sitting on top of the truck, devouring grilled meat.

Zhao Zhe stopped and hovered in the air with the two women.

"Are we going to rescue the captives in the pit?"

Although he already knew the objective, he still asked for confirmation, "All of them?"

Song Haitang thought for a moment and said, "As many as possible."

"San Shu, I see him! He's still alive..."

Han Minna spoke excitedly, but when she noticed the woman on top of the truck, she warned with a hint of fear, "Be careful of the woman on the truck. She's the leader of these nomads, and she can control all things. She's very formidable!"

"Previously, our firepower, even the cannons we fired, were all controlled by her using telekinesis..."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhe became interested upon hearing this. "A telekinetic ability user, that's interesting!"

At that moment, the woman on the truck also seemed to notice someone watching her and looked up.

When she saw the three people floating in the air, she was momentarily stunned.

But when she saw Han Minna with her missing arm, her eyebrows furrowed.

It was Han Minna's missing arm that was the woman's handiwork.

During the chaotic battle, Han Minna had shot and killed one of the woman's subordinates from behind with a sniper rifle. In retaliation, the woman used her psychic power to control a cleaver and directly severed Han Minna's arm.

Subsequently, that scoundrel fled, and it seemed that Xiao Hu had led a group to chase after her.

Now that this scoundrel could appear here unharmed, it was likely that Xiao Hu and his companions had already met an unfortunate fate, wasn't it?

With this thought in mind.

The woman immediately stood up, her entire body exuding a murderous aura.

Xiao Hu was her brother!!

...

High in the sky.

Zhao Zheng was surprised that the woman had detected them so quickly, impressed by her keen senses.

However, that was all there was to it.

Since they had been discovered, there was no point in hiding anymore. He then led Song Haitang and Han Minna, flying toward the massive crater.

When he and his companions descended from the sky, it finally caught the attention of the survivors and the nomads!

"Enemies!!"

"Damn! Where did they come from?"

"The bastards can fly!"

The nomads were all taken aback.

The survivors in the crater, on the other hand, showed signs of relief.

Someone had come to rescue them, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

Moreover, these three people had descended from the sky, so they must have some skills. Perhaps they could save them?

At this moment, Zhao Zheng landed right in the center of the crater.

All around him were survivors.

Further away, a group of nomads armed with weapons had surrounded everyone.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Zheng didn't give the nomads a chance to react. He immediately stomped his foot on the ground.

"Thud!"

The dull sound, like the heartbeat of an ancient deity, echoed far and wide.

Everyone who heard the sound instinctively trembled.

Then, an odd phenomenon occurred...

A shockwave emerged from under Zhao Zheng's foot and rapidly spread out through the earth.

Everyone could clearly feel the ground's tremor.

However, the survivors in the crater merely felt a slight shake and were not harmed.

When the shockwave left the crater's range, it suddenly transformed.

It was as if its true power only manifested at that moment.

Like "hitting a cow from behind a mountain."

"Boom!!"

The ground around the crater suddenly exploded.

All the nomads standing on it were blasted off their feet, either dead or severely injured.

The move Zhao Zheng had just used was "Divine Descent"!

Since obtaining this move, he had thoroughly studied it and could easily control the area and range of damage.

"Haitang, take care of them."

Leaving these words, Zhao Zheng took flight again.

The commotion here had already alerted the nomads near the convoy.

Compared to the trash guarding the survivors, these nomads were the more powerful ones, forming the backbone of the nomad group.

"Damn! Someone's looking for death?"

"Brothers, let's take him down!"

Seeing Zhao Zheng, over a dozen nomads shouted and charged over.

Some spewed flames, others were enveloped in black smoke, and some leaped dozens of meters like frogs...

The woman on the roof of the vehicle, however, made no move, merely watching coldly.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng bared a sinister smile.

Then, he clenched his fist, a white aura enveloping it, and punched forward.

"Crack!!"

The ground shattered...

...

In the crater.

When the survivors saw Zhao Zheng leave to hunt the nomads, they finally came to their senses.

"Xiao Na!"

A familiar voice rang out from the crowd, lifting Han Minna's spirits.

"Uncle San! Wu Ge!"

Han Minna called out eagerly.

They were not far apart and quickly joined up.

"Where are Third Brother and Fourth Brother?" Han Minna asked.

Han Laosan's face darkened, but he didn't answer, instead asking anxiously, "Didn't I tell you to leave and not come back? Why did you bring your benefactor here? Don't you know this place is a death trap?"

His tone became harsher as he spoke.

Song Haitang, who had just arrived behind Han Minna, smiled faintly and said, "Uncle San, it's fine. We wouldn't have come if we weren't sure of our chances."

Han Minna added, "Sister September's friend is very powerful, even able to kill aberrations! We have a chance now."

Hearing this, the surrounding people were stunned.

Kill an aberration?

Their first reaction was that it was a lie.

Aberrations were unbeatable, like the incarnations of evil gods. Who could kill an aberration?

Just then.

The ground suddenly shook and then violently trembled.

"What's happening?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

The survivors panicked.

Song Haitang quickly said, "Everyone, don't panic. This is the power of my friend, causing a brief earthquake. It will be over soon."

Everyone was shocked!!

What kind of power could cause such a strong earthquake??
