Chapter 675: All Subdued
Chapter 675: All Subdued
The three fighters inside the building suddenly experienced a mental shock, causing them to hesitate momentarily.
However, they were all black steel-level fighters from Unifying Heavy Control, and even among them, they were the elite.
Each of them had to be capable of confronting and suppressing the Old Imperial Palace's employed centurions in the Convergence Zone, and they were all fully transformed in strength.
These fighters cultivated mental powers, and a pure mental shock, rather than an offensive mental technique, was not enough to bring them down.
Chen Chuan's attack this time was not to overwhelm them but to confirm their presence and the exact number of people.
After their minds made contact, even if these fighters retreated, as long as they remained within a certain distance, he could still sense them.
As his mental power surged, he surged forward, closing the distance to within two to three hundred meters of the three fighters.
In the eyes of the Third Limitation Fighter, this distance was a mere instant away.
The three fighters inside the building knew that even if they wanted to leave now, it was impossible, but they had no intention of retreating. Instead, they chose to face Chen Chuan head-on.
This decision was not wrong; first, they were unaware of the intruder's identity and details, nor did they know if there were more people outside. Although the intruder's strength seemed formidable, there was only one of him, and they believed that by concentrating their forces, they could deal with him and then make their next move based on the specific situation.
Furthermore, as long as they weren't immediately surrounded by a large number of fighters and armed personnel, they were confident in their ability to escape due to their own strength.
Since they couldn't fully utilize their skills inside the building, they immediately exited and took up separate positions, spotting a figure holding a sword approaching from one end of the street.
The short and stocky fighter drew a metal sphere from his waist and hurled it towards the approaching figure.
The sphere crossed over two hundred meters and reached above Chen Chuan's head, then with a bang, it opened into a large net in mid-air.
Simultaneously, the other two fighters flicked their wrists, throwing two flying daggers at him to restrict his evasive space.
Chen Chuan glanced at them, and the Snow Lady Sword instantly unsheathed, its blade flashing as it sliced through the entire net in an instant.
As the blade fell, his figure surged forward, and the flying dagger that was heading towards him collided with his body, instantly shattering into pieces and flying outwards under the force carried by his body.
Chen Chuan had no intention of engaging in a prolonged fight with these three fighters because there were too many people around, and once the Third Limitation Fighter was unleashed, their range and destructive power would be immense. This time, he needed a quick and decisive victory.
So, right from the start, he directly merged with his second self, and almost in the instant the sword flashed, he appeared in front of the short and stocky fighter, ready to strike with the Snow Lady Sword again.
The fighter had prepared to engage, but he didn't expect Chen Chuan to be so fast. In that instant, he barely had time to sidestep, and as the blade flashed, he stood frozen in place, his expression turning blank.
After Chen Chuan's strike, he moved past the fighter, and with a swift turn of his blade, he slashed horizontally towards the second fighter.
This fighter was the one with the malicious gaze from the first picture, a sturdy-looking fighter with a sharp, thin face. His mental powers seemed no weaker, and as Chen Chuan's blade moved horizontally, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to capture Chen Chuan's specific movements.
However, seeing didn't equate to dodging, and although his mind could react, his body couldn't keep up, and he could only watch helplessly as the blade sliced through his body, and the metal rod in his hand was only halfway raised.
But he wasn't willing to give up. Judging from the previous strike, he would at most be cut into two, but he didn't think he would completely lose his combat ability, so he let out a hiss from his throat and straightened his back, ready to fight again.
But at that moment, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, without any force, just a simple touch.
Yet this small action instantly disrupted his balance of energy, preventing him from unleashing his power, and he froze in place. A thin line of blood gushed from his waist, and in an instant, a large pool of blood formed on the ground.
Chen Chuan's hand remained on the fighter's shoulder as he looked towards the last fighter.
The strong and tall fighter, with a bear-like physique, was a woman holding a crane beak hammer.
She had a deep and long-lasting energy, and one could sense the strong and resilient transformed organisms within her robust muscles. Undoubtedly, she was the most powerful among the three.
At this moment, the strong woman bent down and then leaped forward, moving swiftly despite her large size.
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Chuan's eyes, and he could see clearly that the seemingly charging figure was actually a manifestation of mental power, and her true self was slightly behind, following closely.
Due to the close proximity and rapid speed of the approaching spirit, even with superior spiritual power, it might be challenging to observe and react in time, leading to potential misjudgment of the attack range and subsequent issues in the following moves. Despite this, it was still possible for the attacker to land a successful strike.
Facing such an attack, he took a step back, positioning himself just outside the intended landing point of his opponent's strike. The opponent could reach him but couldn't exert their full strength.
Upon seeing his retreat, the robust woman instantly felt intense discomfort. She could only make slight adjustments during her charge, stretching her body to gain better leverage for her attack.
Just then, Chen Chuan stepped forward, returning to his original position, and, with the momentum of that step, kicked out! This retreat and advance completely disrupted the opponent's rhythm. The robust woman had no time to adjust and could only watch as a swift and fierce kick brushed past, striking her chin with a loud bang.
The force of the kick shattered the ground beneath Chen Chuan's feet, and the impact on her chin caused a painful blast that made her ears ring.
The robust woman's chin jerked upwards, her throat stretched, and just then, Chen Chuan spun in place and kicked her in the chest. Another loud boom echoed, and her sturdy body flew sideways, crashing into a wall, which collapsed under the impact. She fell heavily into a pile of bricks and stones, and no further sounds came from her.
Chen Chuan slowly lowered his foot, his hand still resting on the fighter's shoulder, sensing the faint tremors coming from her body.
In an instant, he had dealt with these three individuals, leaving them injured but not dead—a more challenging feat than simply killing them.
He achieved this because, after merging with his second self, his speed and strength completely overwhelmed his opponents. Moreover, under the influence of his powerful spiritual force, he could clearly see the energy paths of all three fighters, making them almost transparent to him.
However, at this moment, a flicker of realization flashed in his eyes. He sensed that Unifying Heavy Control intended to rely on these three individuals to navigate the Convergence Zone, and they were far from sufficient. Among the three, only the robust woman barely touched the edge of Heart Strength.
It should be noted that the exploration teams operating in the Convergence Zone were composed of fighters skilled in Heart Strength, such as Chen Bitong, Lao Hu, and Yang Shen. Moreover, these teams ideally worked in coordination, which was not the case with these three individuals.
In the 1619th chapter, a look at the book bar, and not a single mistake in the version!
Considering this, it was highly likely that there were other team members besides these three. However, Chen Chuan decided to deal with these individuals first and have them interrogated.
He touched the World Credential and spoke to the team members outside: "I've handled the situation here. When I arrived, someone had already tipped them off, so there might be more of their people around. We don't know their numbers yet, so be cautious."
There were still many residents nearby, so he couldn't use his spiritual power on a large scale. There would likely be some who slipped through the net.
These individuals could be handled by the team members outside.
He glanced at Chao Ming, who was still hovering in the sky, and released the fighter's shoulder. Then, he turned and walked into the house where the three individuals had been.
The fighter remained stiff, not daring to move an inch, as he could sense a force within his body. Any slight movement might cause it to surge towards his skull, resulting in a painful death.
Chen Chuan entered the house and scanned the room. Most of the items were training equipment and gear belonging to the three individuals. On the table was a radio, and scattered around were some individual nutrient gels.
He walked towards the back of the house and, in the last room, saw a half-man-high metal box. It was empty, and its purpose was unclear.
He approached it, took a closer look, and touched the World Credential, saying, "An Dun, take a look. What is this?"
"Analyzing... Based on the box's size and residual traces, it appears to contain a large combat creature not yet on the market."
A large combat creature? Chen Chuan looked again. The box was indeed large, and typically, combat creatures were transported in a curled-up state, so it was imaginable that when fully unfurled, it could be quite substantial.
He asked, "How long has it been since this creature was placed here?"
"Judging from the traces, it should have been three to five hours ago."
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. If it had been three to five hours ago, then it would have been during the morning, and the surveillance personnel from Huang Weiyi's side hadn't noticed anything.
Something this big couldn't have been moved without making any noise.
So...
He reached out and casually pushed the metal box aside, revealing a deep pit beneath it.
