Chapter 410: Stepping on the Shattered
Chapter 410: Stepping on the Shattered
When Gai Er made his move, he didn't give any warning. His attack was swift and fierce, catching most people off guard.
Chen Chuan's eyes reflected the gradually enlarging end of the staff, but he didn't flinch. As the tip of the staff neared his face, it straightened with a metallic sound, halting its forward motion.
Chen Chuan, with his keen eyesight, realized that the attack had reached its limit, and the opponent's field told him that this was just a feint to test his reaction.
As expected, when Chen Chuan didn't dodge, Gai Er quickly followed up. He pushed forward the last section of the three-section staff, and with a layered force, the three connected sections instantly transformed into a true long staff. The front end hissed as it tore through the air, thrusting forward.
Chen Chuan didn't draw his sword but simply raised his hand, accurately blocking the long staff's tip. A loud bang sounded as the point of contact exploded with a burst of energy.
Chen Chuan's hand didn't even tremble.
Seeing that the initial attack was ineffective, Gai Er swiftly transformed the long staff back into three sections with a metallic sound. He then spun, using his waist and back strength to swing the staff in a circle with a loud whoosh. This move, called "Armor-Piercing Whip," first forced the enemy to dodge or block. Once blocked, the force would enter through the contact point, pinning the opponent in place.
Simultaneously, the staff's sections would separate, creating an opening for a counter-strike, gaining a slight advantage. Finally, all his strength would be concentrated in a powerful draw to defeat the enemy in one blow.
This was Gai Er's killer move, and it had never failed him.
Facing this attack, Chen Chuan, perhaps due to the previous impact, had no time to dodge. The steel staff struck his neck with a loud bang, and he felt a burst of pain.
The Lu Tong Logistics personnel were startled, many feeling a sudden tightness in their chests. The Du Yi Kuaiyun people couldn't hide their excitement because they had witnessed Gai Er splitting a car in two with a single strike.
However, after the strike, Chen Chuan stood still, not moving an inch. He slightly tilted his head, calmly gazing at Gai Er, and said, "Is that all you've got?"
Gai Er's pupils contracted, and he quickly tried to retrieve his weapon for another round.
But due to his previous exertion, he leaned forward, and his retreat was slightly delayed. Chen Chuan stepped forward, closing the distance and reaching Gai Er's proximity.
Gai Er was startled and hastily backed away, but Chen Chuan matched his speed, staying right in front of him as if neither had moved.
Suddenly, Gai Er felt a powerful aura, a force that seemed capable of crushing him. He couldn't help but pause.
At that moment, Chen Chuan swiftly raised his hand, grabbing Gai Er by the neck. With a gentle lift, he hoisted Gai Er into the air, then slammed him forcefully onto the ground!
A loud boom echoed as the ground beneath Gai Er cracked, his bones below the knee shattered. His skin tore open, and blood oozed out, even from his orifices.
Chen Chuan released his grip, and Gai Er knelt with a thud, gasping for breath, unable to move.
But as a seasoned fighter, Gai Er gritted his teeth, refusing to fall. His skin began to twitch and heal under the influence of his blood essence, as he glared at Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan looked down at him for a moment, then extended his hand, gently touching Gai Er's forehead, and pushed. Gai Er lost his balance and fell backward.
Chen Chuan stepped towards Gai Er's head, and the latter realized his intent. Panic and fear flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something. But the previous strike had disrupted his breath, and his lips moved silently, unable to form words.
Chen Chuan raised his foot and stomped on Gai Er's head. A loud boom sounded, and a pit formed below, with shattered bricks and stones flying out. Gai Er's body violently jerked.
Action: As he pulled his foot out of the sinking ground, a twisted and deformed face emerged from the rubble, its features blending with the surrounding bricks and stones.
Old Bian, who had witnessed this scene from behind the Boundary Vessel, couldn't help but raise his body as if trying to flee from his original position. His heart began to beat rapidly without his conscious control.
In the midst of the silence, the only sound was the rapid breathing of the individuals present.
The leader of the Moss Clan was stunned for a moment. He felt a chill rise up his spine and swallowed hard. Then, addressing the Boundary Vessel, he said, "Gai Er is done for. His head was completely crushed..."
The person across from him seemed shocked as well, remaining silent. Chen Chuan left without looking back, having defeated Gai Er with his bare hands without even drawing his saber.
Strictly speaking, Chen Chuan had effectively immobilized his opponent with a single move. If this had been a proper duel, the battle would have ended at that moment.
As he passed by the three-section staff, Chen Chuan lightly hooked it with his foot, causing it to spring into the air. He caught the front end in his hand and with a swift motion, brought the three sections together.
Over at Luotong Logistics, Lan Shenan was the first to regain her senses. Suppressing her excitement, she immediately used the Boundary Vessel to alert the others to be cautious, especially regarding the Venom Ant Express personnel who might act recklessly at this time.
Fortunately, the Venom Ant Express personnel were not so foolish. They understood the destructive power of the Third Limit Fighter and wouldn't provoke them at this time.
The leader of the Moss Clan kept waving his hands, urging the driver to leave this place immediately. He didn't want to stay here for another moment, fearing what the Third Limit Fighter across from him might be planning. If the Third Limit Fighter had any intentions, he knew he wouldn't survive.
Lan Shenan walked forward and met Chen Chuan face-to-face. She nodded respectfully at him, then continued forward to confront the Venom Ant Express personnel. She addressed those hiding behind the fortifications, saying, "You've lost. According to our prior agreement, you must withdraw from the territories you've occupied. If you break this agreement, we won't abide by the rules either."
After waiting for a response, a voice came from the other side, "Captain Lan, we understand the rules, and we will abide by our agreement. But you need to give us some time."
Lan Shenan replied promptly, "Two days is more than enough. If you don't leave by then, we'll take matters into our own hands." After saying this, she turned and walked away without another word.
Chen Chuan had already returned to the motorhome and took a sip from the cup of hot drink he had been drinking earlier. The temperature hadn't changed much.
The confrontation between the two men had ended almost as soon as they faced each other, and Gai Er hadn't been able to put up much of a fight. However, this person wasn't as weak as he seemed.
In Chen Chuan's assessment, he was definitely stronger than the Viper Team's Xiao Sheng and Xian Quanfeng. If he were fully prepared, it would be challenging to defeat him in a single move.
When Chen Chuan had touched the Field Domain earlier, he had realized that this person was extremely self-serving. If he sensed something amiss, he wouldn't hesitate to abandon everyone and flee, disregarding any rules of combat.
Chen Chuan had intentionally allowed himself to be hit to psychologically intimidate his opponent and blunt his edge. He seized the opportunity to advance while pressuring him with the Field Domain, causing his mental state to waver, and finally delivering the finishing blow.
On the surface, Chen Chuan seemed to have easily subdued his opponent, but behind his seemingly effortless victory lay not only his robust physical qualities and combat abilities but also his tactical choices.
However, Gai Er's staff attack, though it appeared formidable, wasn't as powerful as it seemed. Chen Chuan had planned to withstand the second wave of the attack but didn't need to; he relied on his own blood essence and alien tissue dissipation techniques to neutralize the force within.
At that moment, a notification sound rang out from the Boundary Vessel, indicating an unknown communication. Chen Chuan considered it for a moment and decided to answer.
An indistinct voice came from the other end, "Mr. Chen, this water is deep. Are you sure you want to wade into it?"
Chen Chuan asked, "Who are you?"
The voice didn't answer his question but continued, "Mr. Chen, we know your abilities, and we respect you. However, the matters of the Lower City District are not something you can casually intervene in. Doing so will cause trouble for many, including yourself and those close to you.
If you withdraw now, we will provide you with a satisfactory reward. We hope you make a wise choice, Mr. Chen. If you've made your decision, you can contact me using this signal."
After this, the voice fell silent.
