Chapter 616: Elimination
Chapter 616: Elimination
A gunshot rang out in the area. Kenwa glanced at the sky and saw the figure still circling and flying above, prompting him to curse inwardly.
Although he had learned marksmanship in the military, he didn't pay much attention to it as his combat style favored close-quarters combat. It was challenging to take down a true third-tier master at a distance with a gun.
The target above wasn't a stationary target but a swiftly moving one, and the strong wind from the sea made it nearly impossible to hit with his marksmanship skills.
The others looked at him, silently asking if they should take down the target in the sky.
Kenwa didn't respond.
They were at the port, and a single gunshot could be masked. If more shots were fired, the security personnel would rush over. Although he wasn't afraid, he would have to relocate.
The current position was excellent, and he didn't want to move again so soon.
Chen Chuan sat in the car, observing the situation below through the vehicle's realm organism, borrowing Chao Ming's perspective. The port was vast and crowded, making it challenging to locate the target.
He was waiting for Specialist Cao's telegram. Once a specific area was confirmed, the search area would be narrowed. As long as he personally reached that location and released the realm or mental projection, he could find the target's whereabouts.
Just then, he heard another gunshot, which came through Chao Ming's intercom. Based on the sound, it seemed to be aimed at Chao Ming.
Kenwa immediately instructed the realm organism to adjust, and the image on the intercom suddenly zoomed in, revealing the area where the gunshot likely originated.
This technology was from Wingblade Corporation, originally designed for flying combat organisms to search for enemy traces. It was perfect for this situation.
Through the zoomed-in perspective, he saw a group of people below, and a man in the middle who had just put down his gun.
Despite the absence of an active sentient entity for comparison, Chen Chuan instantly confirmed the target upon seeing the man.
The area where the target was located was approximately four kilometers away from his position.
Chen Chuan exited the car and gave an order to Yu Xiao via the intercom, who understood and immediately led a small team to an armored vehicle, heading towards the port administration building.
Kenwa's ability to stay at the port with an armed group without being checked suggested either a problem with the port personnel or special consideration from higher-ups.
With the amnesty order issued, the latter possibility was highly likely.
During the operation, he didn't require these men to assist; he only needed them to avoid causing trouble.
He glanced at the black dot circling in the sky and headed in that direction.
Inside the yard, Kenwa lay with his hands behind his head. He watched the shadow circling above and felt that the bird had taken an interest in him due to the earlier gunshot.
This made him inexplicably restless.
If he had a throwing spear from his homeland, he could have confidently pierced the bird from this distance. These spears were designed to impale flying creatures.
In his homeland, the ancient Primordial Clan trained animals to observe and monitor enemies. However, as the Primordial Clan gradually diminished, few people nowadays possessed this skill.
As he thought about this, he suddenly realized something. His pupils dilated, and he stood up from the ground, saying, "Be on guard!"
All the gunmen around him were skilled veterans he had brought from the Linaksa Federation, most of whom were of mixed Primordial Clan descent like himself. They had excellent military qualities and were equipped with advanced combat implants. At his call, they immediately went on high alert.
Although they didn't know the enemy's location, this position wasn't chosen randomly. There were only two accessible entrances, easily blocked to prevent outsiders from entering. Guards were posted at high points, ensuring early detection of any approaching threats.
Kenwa picked up his weapon, a long stick with a giant steel ball attached to its end—a famous hammer ball stick among the Primordial Clan."
Suddenly, he felt a sense of extreme danger, though he saw nothing. His body was warning him.
His external tendrils tensed, and he entered a state of high alert.
Just then, his mind went blank, and a wave of dizziness hit him, causing him to stagger. He saw a gunman on high ground, who suddenly tilted his head and fell from over six meters above, landing with a loud thud on the ground.
Not only here, but in the distance, there were sounds of people falling and guns dropping. Incredibly, all the gunmen he had brought lost consciousness within a single breath and lay on the ground.
He shook his head vigorously, and a cool sensation instantly permeated his spine, clearing his mind.
Clear footsteps approached from afar. He looked up and saw a young man in casual attire walking towards him, wearing a Handling Bureau's standard jacket, unbuttoned. His stride was calm, and his expression was serene.
Kenwa stared intently at the approaching figure, his grip tightening on the mallet stick in his hand. He had smashed countless bodies with this weapon, but at this moment, it offered him no sense of security.
The force that had just hit him was likely a form of mental power, and he knew that anyone capable of such power was far beyond his ability to fight.
His heart raced with a mix of shock, anger, and fear. He hadn't expected to encounter a fighter of this caliber even before reaching Central City.
This was something that, under normal circumstances, should never have happened. Fighters of this caliber were usually tasked with protecting officials and securing vital areas in Central City. How could one possibly end up in the port of this border city?
Could it be that they came specifically for him?
That was preposterous. Deploying such a high-level fighter for him was entirely unnecessary and made no sense.
But why?
Chen Chuan arrived at the open ground and looked towards Kenwa. He reached into his pocket, took out Kenwa's wanted notice, unfolded it, and casually waved it in front of him, asking:
"Is this you?"
At this moment, Kenwa's hope vanished, replaced by overwhelming fear and a desperate desire to survive. He let out a loud cry, and his implants immediately injected a large dose of potential-unlocking and explosive drugs into his body.
In a flash, the ground beneath him exploded, propelling him into the air. He swung the mallet stick upward with force and then flung it forward. The massive steel ball attached to its end hurtled towards Chen Chuan with a deafening whoosh!
Chen Chuan's eyes reflected Kenwa's leaping figure. Although his opponent's aura was intimidating and their power erupted in an instant with immense strength, to Chen Chuan, their movements appeared incredibly slow.
As the steel ball drew closer and was about to land right in front of him, Chen Chuan released the wanted notice and reached out, pressing the steel ball and gently pushing it aside.
In an instant, under a powerful pull, the ball changed course, moving sideways instead of falling straight down. The force that was initially directed downward suddenly transformed into a forward-pulling force.
Chen Chuan's action coincided with the exact moment when Kenwa's energy erupted. Kenwa's entire body, including his transformed tissues and muscles, was in a state of heightened tension. Although the drug enhanced his strength, it also made it difficult for him to control his power output fully. As a result, when the steel ball was flung, it immediately pulled Kenwa's entire body forward, and for a moment, he couldn't retract it.
Chen Chuan watched as Kenwa was pulled towards him. He maintained a calm gaze, then swiftly kicked, striking Kenwa's head. A surge of heart energy instantly filled it.
With a loud bang, Kenwa's head exploded in mid-air, and his brain matter and blood splattered outward. A drop of blood even flew towards Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan's raised hand had not yet lowered, and his fingers pinched the drop of blood, stopping it less than half a foot from his face.
At this moment, it became clear that it wasn't blood but a short, thick worm squirming in his grasp.
Even Chen Chuan could feel the powerful struggles emanating from it, and he noticed a dematerialization effect occurring on his second self.
He stared for a moment, then squeezed his fingers, and with a sharp crack, the worm was crushed.
Kenwa's headless body finally fell from the sky, landing with a thud on the ground. The wanted notice, which had been floating in the air, now drifted down, settling among the scattered brain matter.
Chen Chuan, having dealt with the threat, was about to contact his backup to handle the aftermath. But as he reached for the intercom, his eyes flickered.
Something's not right...
That thing had come straight to him, as if afraid he wouldn't notice it.
Chen Chuan lowered his hand and slowly approached the corpse. After examining it for a while, he lifted his foot and stomped on it. In that instant, Kenwa's back arched as if something was trying to break free from within.
But before it could fully emerge, Chen Chuan's foot came down on it with a sharp crack. Kenwa's body exploded under the impact of the two opposing forces, revealing a worm-like creature with a twisted shape.
It had a segmented body, and its outer surface was covered in thin, long tendrils, still clinging to remnants of flesh and blood.
It seemed that Kenwa had completely replaced his spine with this creature, and the dense network of fine limbs on both sides connected the rest of his body.
As this creature was exposed, the dematerialization effect on Chen Chuan's second self intensified, and a faint, incomprehensible murmur emanated from it, as if trying to infect and bewitch him.
Chen Chuan's expression remained unchanged. He stomped his foot, crushing the creature into the ground, turning it into a bloody mist. A pool of thick, dark red blood spread beneath his feet.
