Chapter 191: Intimidation? A Battle Upon Meeting (Modified)



After discovering the anomaly with the lightning, the convoy came to a halt.

The director Zhang and those around him exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes, they saw surprise and unease.

They knew for certain that the Thunder God had arrived!

Previously, they had secretly contacted the Thunder God Shelter and revealed Zhao Zheng's strength, which immediately caught the attention of the other side.

Unforeseen.

The Thunder God himself had come! It was likely that the Thunder God also feared the strength of Zhao Zheng, a powerful individual who could wreak havoc in the shelter and cause irreversible damage. Hence, he chose to take the initiative and intercept the convoy midway.

At this moment, all the survivors were watching the lightning bolt rapidly approaching them.

Among them were Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang.

Seeing the lightning, Song Haitang's expression was one of surprise.

"His form... it's very similar to Elementalization!"

As she spoke, the girl furrowed her brows.

Among the Natural Devil Fruit users, those with the ability to Elementize were exceptionally powerful.

"It does resemble it." Zhao Zheng nodded, his face calm. "No wonder he's one of the strongest Superhumans. His strength is indeed formidable."

Just as his words fell.

"Crack!"

A thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking directly in front of the convoy.

Then, the thunder dissipated, revealing a tall figure.

It was a middle-aged man, appearing to be in his thirties, with a tall and robust stature. He wore a black overcoat, his features were sharp, and his aura was awe-inspiring.

The most striking feature was still the man's eyes! His eyes were no longer human, but rather, they were formed by gathering lightning, emitting a radiant glow.

Looking into those eyes, one felt an intense sense of oppression.

There was no need to ask; this man was undoubtedly the "Thunder God"! One of the strongest Superhumans!

The title "Thunder God" was given to him by others, but his real name was "Chen Wu," and he also had a military background.

Seeing the tension among the survivors in the convoy, Chen Wu immediately spoke with a loud voice:

"There's no need to be nervous, everyone. I am the director of the Han City Shelter. On behalf of the shelter, I welcome all of you."

Hearing these words, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and then showed delighted expressions.

The Thunder God coming out to greet them personally made them feel valued. Moreover, with the Thunder God leading the way, the journey ahead would undoubtedly be safer.

Chen Wu scanned the crowd and suddenly asked, "May I know who is the leader of your convoy?"

Song Haitang was about to step forward, but Zhao Zheng pulled her back.

"Leave it to me."

Zhao Zheng smiled at Song Haitang and then jumped down from the RV, facing Chen Wu.

"I am Zhao Zheng, temporarily acting as the leader of this convoy."

Seeing Zhao Zheng's youth, Chen Wu was taken aback.

"You're Zhao Zheng? I've heard of your formidable strength."

"Who told you that?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.

Chen Wu didn't answer but said, "I love sparring with strong opponents. It's still early, so why don't we have a friendly match before heading to the shelter?"

Zhao Zheng readily agreed.

Chen Wu narrowed his eyes and smiled, nodding, "Shall we find a different spot?"

"Sure!" Zhao Zheng turned and instructed the group, "Wait here for a moment."

What could the survivors say?

They dared not say anything.

In fact, at this moment, they were all a bit dazed, not understanding why the two big shots were about to engage in a battle upon meeting.

"Follow me!"

Chen Wu shouted and transformed into lightning, flying towards the wilderness.

This guy's flying speed was incredibly fast! The rumors about him escaping from the hands of the Aberrations were likely true, given his flying speed.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng revealed a smile and then slowly ascended into the air.

The next moment!

"BOOM!!!"

A terrifying sonic boom exploded in everyone's ears.

Zhao Zheng's figure swiftly tore through the void, flying like a meteor.

Around his body, numerous air waves swirled.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that this was the sound barrier phenomenon, which occurred when an object's speed in the atmosphere exceeded the speed of sound.

In the blink of an eye, they could no longer see Zhao Zheng.

It was only at this moment that the survivors realized how terrifying Zhao Zheng's flying speed was!

A survivor, unable to contain himself, spoke up.

...

Chen Wu's expression turned to one of surprise as he saw Zhao Zheng rapidly closing in on him.

Flight!

It was the ability he prided himself on the most! Among all the flying superhumans, he was undoubtedly the fastest, after all, he could transform into lightning and move swiftly.

Unexpectedly, this young man possessed such a terrifying flight speed, easily catching up to him...

When did such a powerful being appear in the world? How could he not know about it?

As he watched himself about to be overtaken, Chen Wu quickly descended to the ground.

Zhao Zheng followed closely behind, landing opposite him.

"This should be far enough from the city," Chen Wu said.

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded, "Sure."

"As a guest from afar, please go first," Chen Wu suggested.

"Alright!"

Zhao Zheng clenched his fist and added, "My punch might be a bit strong. If you feel you can't take it, let me know immediately."

Hearing this, Chen Wu felt like laughing.

He could transform into thunder, granting him near-immunity to most physical attacks. It was uncertain if Zhao Zheng could even land a hit on him.

Suddenly!

A buzzing sound filled the air as Chen Wu witnessed Zhao Zheng's fist turning pitch-black, surrounded by an abundance of red lightning, creating an extremely intimidating sight.

This was the highest level of Armored Color Domination!

Witnessing this scene, Chen Wu had a foreboding premonition...

Then, he noticed the young man's fist enveloped in a massive energy shield.

What ability was this? The next moment!

The young man across from him threw a punch!

"Boom!"

An indescribable sound of rupture filled the heavens and earth.

Chen Wu's eyes widened in shock! He saw the void shattering, the world turning upside down.

In this moment, it felt like the sky was about to collapse!

The ground cracked, and the earth trembled!

It seemed like the entire world was shaking.

As the terrifying shockwave reached Chen Wu, he stared in disbelief.

He sensed an imminent danger!

"Not good!"

Chen Wu roared, and his body instantly turned ethereal, transforming into a bolt of thunder, attempting to escape the collapsing world.

Despite his swift actions, he was a step too late.

[Armored Color Domination: Has a certain degree of control effect against Demon Fruit ability users and non-physical energy bodies.]



This was an additional effect of Armored Color Domination.

In other words, even if Chen Wu wasn't a Demon Fruit ability user, Armored Color Domination still had a control effect on him.

For Chen Wu, Zhao Zheng's punch was a direct hit!

"Huff!"

Suddenly, a large amount of blood sprayed out in the void.

Then, Chen Wu's body emerged from the lightning, hanging in mid-air.

Zhao Zheng's punch had turned him back into his original form! At this moment, Chen Wu was covered in blood and had lost consciousness, falling from the sky...

From such a height, if he fell to the ground, it might kill him.

The ground continued to shake, and numerous cracks appeared.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking through the air echoed.

Zhao Zheng swiftly flew over, grabbing Chen Wu.

Looking at Chen Wu, Zhao Zheng thought to himself, 'I didn't expect this guy to be so weak. One punch and he's out cold.'

He had punched from a distance, with at least two to three hundred meters between them. Chen Wu had ample time to react.

Zhao Zheng did this intentionally, as it was just a spar, and he didn't want to kill.

If he had punched from close range, this "Thunder God" might not have even left a trace.

But even so, his punch had inflicted unimaginable damage on Chen Wu! At this moment, Chen Wu was not only unconscious, but his breathing was faint, teetering on the edge of death...

"What a hassle! If I had known you were this weak, I would have gone easier on you."

Zhao Zheng silently mocked, then, holding the unconscious Chen Wu, he swiftly flew towards the vehicle fleet...

...

Back at the fleet, everyone was anxiously awaiting their return.

The survivors secretly understood that the outcome of this battle might significantly impact their entry into the shelter.

"I wonder who will win between these two powerhouses?"

"It's hard to say! Chen Wu is a renowned figure, and the title of 'Thunder God' wasn't self-proclaimed."

"I still think the Captain's friend is the stronger one!"

"Alas! Why did they have to fight? When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured!"

"I think it's because Chen Wu heard that there are experts in our convoy, and he's afraid that he's coming for control of the shelter. So he took the initiative to come and give us a warning!"

"Your analysis is spot on, it must be that."

"So that's how it is? No wonder they wanted to spar as soon as they met. He's probably planning to defeat the experts on our side, so that when he goes to the shelter, he'll have an easier time controlling it."

"It's a pity we can't witness their fight, it's really a shame."

"Pity? Haha! Do you believe that the aftermath of their battle could leave you with no place to be buried?"

"I wonder how long they'll fight..."

"Just don't let it go on for three days and nights before we know the outcome!"

...

The murmurs reached this point.

Suddenly.

Everyone saw a figure swiftly fly back, and then directly from the camper's skylight, fall into the camper.

Everyone was left dumbfounded...

"What's going on? Who just flew back? I didn't see clearly..."

"It's the Captain's friend!"

"Ah? He's back so soon?"

"He's carrying someone, it seems like Chen Wu?"

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I saw it too..."

"No! They're both top-tier experts, shouldn't they be fighting for three days and nights? How could it be over so fast..."

...

At this moment.

Inside the camper.

Seeing Zhao Zheng suddenly fly back, everyone was startled.

When they saw Zhao Zheng, covered in blood, and an unconscious Chen Wu, Han Minna and the others were even more shocked.

Even Song Haitang was a bit overwhelmed...

"Don't stand there in a daze!" Zhao Zheng said, "His injuries are very severe, Yingying, come and help him with the treatment quickly!"

If Chen Wu died here, it would be troublesome.

The entire Han City Shelter, or rather, the Thunder God Shelter, might fall into chaos.

For Zhao Zheng, this was just a minor problem.

But for the survivors, the Han City Shelter, or the Thunder God Shelter, was their last hope for a sanctuary! If the Han City Shelter couldn't be protected, who knows how many would commit suicide out of despair.

Although the death of many survivors wouldn't affect Zhao Zheng's mission, he didn't want to see so many people die because of his momentary negligence...

Hearing Zhao Zheng's command.

The young Han Yingying hurriedly came to Chen Wu's side, and her small hands rested on Chen Wu's body, emitting a gentle glow.

Instantly!

Chen Wu's mouth stopped bleeding...

Han Yingying seemed to truly possess the destiny of a chosen one, with an exceptional talent.

In just ten days, she had already absorbed two Corpse Crystals, her strength improving astonishingly.

It's known that normal superhumans can only absorb one Corpse Crystal a month, any more and they'd be poisoned.

Those with less talent might take months to absorb one...

This shows how remarkable Han Yingying's abilities are.

Even yesterday, she had healed Han Minna, allowing her severed arm to regenerate!

Since yesterday, Han Yingying has officially revealed her identity as a "Healing Specialist."

Everyone in the convoy knew that Han Laosan's daughter had awakened an extremely powerful "Healing" ability.

Many were envious.

As for Han Yingying's ability to make plants grow, it was still being concealed...

...

Although Han Yingying's healing abilities are formidable now.

However, Chen Wu's injuries were indeed quite severe...

Under Han Yingying's full treatment, half an hour passed, and there was still no sign of awakening! Instead, Han Yingying was exhausted, severely fatigued, and her face had turned pale.

"Yingying, stop for now, take a rest."

Song Haitang immediately stopped her, saying, "His vital signs are stable now, you can continue the treatment later."

The girl's observation was meticulous, and she had noticed that the little girl was almost at her limit, but she didn't dare to speak up.

After all, Zhao Zheng's authority was absolute, and no one in the convoy dared to defy his orders.

Hearing Song Haitang's words, Zhao Zheng, who had been watching over Chen Wu, noticed that the little girl was almost on the verge of collapse. He immediately said, "Yes, stop for a while and take a rest."

Only then did Han Yingying dare to let go, stumbling a few steps and almost falling.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng took out some food and water, saying, "Eat something and rest."

The girl didn't dare to refuse, carefully taking it with a look of joy in her eyes.

She was indeed hungry and thirsty.

Zhao Zheng's gaze then turned to Chen Wu, seeing his labored breathing and weak pulse, before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a weak "God"!
