Chapter 539: Have You Ever Been Struck by Lightning Bolt?
Chapter 539: Have You Ever Been Struck by Lightning Bolt?
The crowds below the city gazed up at the breathtaking scene unfolding in the sky. A brief moment of silence hung in the air before they erupted into a frenzy of excitement and chatter.
"Oh my, it's Mr. Lightning!"
"He took care of a Dragon-level monster with one hit... As expected of the strongest hero! He's so cool!"
Even the bespectacled office workers among the crowd wore looks of excitement as they beheld the figure bathed in silvery lightning bolts.
In the short time since his debut as a hero, Feng Ye had become the most beloved hero!
Powerful!
Fast!
And incredibly handsome! While his good looks attracted a large female fan base, inciting jealousy from many men, countless others had been rescued by Feng Ye during disasters, and they felt nothing but gratitude toward him.
Feng Ye had dispatched the Void King with a single punch and now retracted his fist, looking down at the people spilling out of buildings onto the streets, waving at him enthusiastically. He offered them a faint smile and raised his hand in a friendly wave.
"It's taken care of."
"Mhm, the city didn't suffer much damage, but there are some injured people who need medical attention due to the chaos. Send in more rescue teams."
Feng Ye waved to the crowd below while speaking into his headset connected to the Hero Association headquarters.
A female staff member's voice, laced with respect, came through the headset. "Headquarters received! The rescue teams are on their way!"
After responding to Feng Ye, she drew in a breath and turned to the association supervisor standing beside her, her eyes curving into a smile. "It's reassuring to have Mr. Lightning around."
The association supervisor nodded, his gaze fixed on the screen displaying Feng Ye. "Indeed. No matter where a disaster strikes, as long as he's notified, he'll be there in an instant. Mr. Lightning is indeed the epitome of a perfect hero."
Thanks to Feng Ye's presence...
...in the past two weeks, the other S-class heroes had barely had any work. Any disaster involving a Demon-level threat or higher would be swiftly resolved by Feng Ye, no matter which city he was in, within seconds of being notified.
As a result, the other S-class heroes were left with little more than Tiger- and Wolf-level monster incidents to handle, and they couldn't help but feel a bit sour about Feng Ye's overwhelming prowess.
Tornado had often joked in the past that they didn't need so many S-class heroes, that she alone was enough. But now, with Feng Ye's arrival, that joke had become a reality—they really only needed him!
As Xichi watched Feng Ye on the screen, contemplating whether to suggest to the association that they create a separate tier for heroes like Feng Ye, a unique category all his own, a staff member beside him suddenly spoke up.
"Mr. Xichi, look, is that..."
Xichi immediately shifted his gaze to the corner of the screen, his eyes narrowing in surprise. "A human monster, Hungry Wolf?"
Upon spotting Hungry Wolf, Xichi immediately turned to the staff member beside him. "Quickly inform Mr. Lightning of Hungry Wolf's location. This is a perfect opportunity for Mr. Lightning to take care of him!"
"It seems... unnecessary. Mr. Lightning has already spotted him."
The staff member spoke softly, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Whoosh! ! !
In an instant, Feng Ye, who had been floating in the sky, traced an arc and descended from the heavens, landing in the middle of a nearby street.
His avid fans, upon witnessing this, immediately whipped out their phones, snapping photos and even running toward him with paper and pen in hand, hoping to get his autograph.
Zap! Zap!
Feng Ye furrowed his brows, the lightning arcs still crackling around him. The approaching girls came into contact with the spreading arcs, their bodies tingling and numb, unable to get any closer.
Hungry Wolf, who had been hiding among the crowd, launched an attack on Feng Ye!
"Although ambushing is a bit dishonorable, since you are the strongest hero, I can only show my respect for you in this way... Let me injure you first before I defeat you!" Hungry Wolf's eyes shone with determination.
Smack! !
Tracing an arc like flowing water, Hungry Wolf's strike landed heavily on one side of Feng Ye's neck. The immense force created a visible ripple in the air, and those nearby who had come forward for autographs were sent tumbling backward.
Astonishment filled the faces of those who stumbled back, and someone quickly recognized the attacker.
"That guy is... the human monster Hungry Wolf!"
"Mr. Lightning has been ambushed!"
"Damn! That's despicable!!'
The crowd was stirred into an uproar, especially the girls infatuated with Feng Ye, who clenched their fists tightly.
Hungry Wolf paid no heed to the commotion around him.
His expression turned stiff, his pupils contracting slightly as he stared at Feng Ye's neck, shocked. He could see that the area of Feng Ye's neck that his palm blade had struck was covered in a layer of pitch-black substance, and it felt incredibly hard—as if his palm blade had struck something far tougher than steel!
He could feel the bones in his hand aching intensely, even feeling as if they had cracked!
Hungry Wolf withdrew his hand, his entire body quickly taking two steps back. He didn't bother to check on his palm and instead stared intently at Feng Ye.
As he pulled back his hand, he noticed that the layer of pitch-black substance on Feng Ye's neck also quietly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been an illusion.
What was that black and hard substance?!
Wasn't the third-ranked S-Class hero, Mr. Lightning, supposed to be most proficient in speed akin to lightning and psychic abilities that allowed him to manipulate lightning? How could his physical body be so resilient!
Just as Hungry Wolf's eyes widened in shock and his heart stirred with intense emotions, Feng Ye looked at him and shook his head slightly. "After evolving multiple times, is this still the extent of your power? I don't see any signs of your limiter being released."
"......What are you talking about?"
Hungry Wolf frowned, his eyes fixed on Feng Ye as he spoke, somewhat puzzled by his words.
Feng Ye replied calmly, "It's nothing. Although I came to deal with the Void King, since I encountered you here, I can't very well let you go after your malicious attack on the heroes and your self-proclaimed title of 'monster.' "
"Then..."
At this point—
Whoosh!
The entire world seemed to freeze.
Feng Ye slowly lifted his leg, a layer of white light enveloping his foot as he aimed a slow kick at Hungry Wolf's face.
One could see Hungry Wolf's pupils contracting bit by bit as he tried to react to Feng Ye's strike, but his body couldn't move at all. All he could do was watch as his fingers moved at an extremely slow speed.
He wasn't restrained.
It was purely a difference in speed, rendering him unable to put up any resistance or evasive maneuvers against Feng Ye's attack!
Bang!!!
Hungry Wolf's face was kicked, and his body flew horizontally backward, crashing through two buildings before landing in the street and exploding.
Unable to withstand Feng Ye's strike, Hungry Wolf's consciousness faded, and he fell into darkness. In the last moment before his consciousness slipped away, only one thought floated through his mind.
So this is...
...the speed of the third-ranked S-Class hero, Mr. Lightning?
