Chapter 675: All Submit
The three fighters inside the room were suddenly hit by a mental shock, causing their bodies to pause momentarily.
However, all three of them were Black Steel Level fighters from Allied Heavy Duty, and they were selected elites.
This required each of them to have the strength to not only confront but also suppress the former imperial guards in the Fusion Ground, and they had undergone complete metamorphoses.
These fighters all cultivated psychic powers, and a simple mental shock, without any advanced psychic techniques, 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 actual number of people.
After the mental contact, even if they retreated, as long as they stayed within a certain distance, he could still sense them.
As he activated his mental abilities, he surged forward, closing the distance to just a few hundred meters from the three of them.
To a Third Limit Fighter, this distance was negligible.
The three inside the room knew that there was no way to escape now. However, they did not intend to retreat. Instead, they decided to face Chen Chuan head-on.
This choice was not wrong. First, they did not know the identity or background of the intruder, nor whether there were more people outside. Although the intruder seemed strong, he was only one. They believed that by concentrating their strength, they could take him down and then make further decisions based on the situation.
Moreover, as long as they were not immediately surrounded by a large number of fighters and armed personnel, they were confident they could escape with their martial prowess.
Because the building’s interior was too cramped, they immediately stepped out and spread out, other positions, seeing a figure holding a saber approaching from one end of the street.
The stocky fighter pulled out a metal sphere from his waist and hurled it towards the approaching figure.
The sphere, after crossing a distance of over two hundred meters, reached above Chen Chuan’s head and burst open in mid-air, forming a large net.
At the same time, the other two threw two flying daggers at him, attempting to lock his evasion space.
Chen Chuan glanced, and the Snow Empress Saber flashed out of its sheath. A flash of the blade instantly sliced through the net.
Following the blade’s descent, he lunged forward. One of the flying daggers, upon striking his body, shattered into pieces and flew outward.
Chen Chuan had no intention of entangling with the three, as there were too many people around, and a Third Limit Fighter’s full-scale battle would cause extensive damage. He needed to resolve this quickly.
Thus, he immediately overlapped his second self, and almost instantly appeared in front of the stocky fighter, the Snow Empress Saber slashed down again.
The fighter, though prepared for battle, did not expect Chen Chuan to be so swift. For a moment, he almost disappeared from the fighter’s perception.
He sensed Chen Chuan coming at him and barely managed to shift his body to the side. However, this action was still too slow, and as the blade flashed by, the fighter froze in place, his expression turning blank.
Chen Chuan, after the first slash, passed by the fighter, turning the saber horizontally towards the second person.
This person was the sharp-eyed, gaunt-faced fighter from the first image. His psychic power seemed strong, and his eyes glinted with precision, capturing Chen Chuan’s specific movements.
However, seeing does not mean evading. His mind could react, but his body struggled to respond in time, and could only watch the blade slice through his body, his metal rod raised only halfway.
But he was not willing to give up. Judging from the situation, he believed that the blade would only cut him in half, and he would not lose his fighting ability. Thus, he let out a roar from his throat, straightening his back, attempting a counterattack.
However, at that moment, a hand pressed on his shoulder. The hand carried no force, merely resting there.
This small action immediately disrupted his breath balance, preventing him from releasing his power, and he froze in place. Instantly, a thin line of blood trickled from his waist, quickly forming a large pool on the ground.
Chen Chuan’s hand remained on his shoulder, now lifting his gaze to the last person.
The tall, bear-like woman stood there, gripping a crane beak hammer.
This person radiated a deep aura, and her strong muscles were filled with resilient adaptation tissues, undoubtedly the strongest among the three.
At this moment, the strong woman bent down, then leaped forward. Despite her large frame, she moved with remarkable agility.
Chen Chuan’s eyes glinted with a hint of light, and he saw clearly that the approaching figure was actually a mental projection, slightly lagged, followed by her true form rushing forward.
Due to the close proximity between the spirit and the physical body, and the rapid speed of the attack, even if one's spiritual power was stronger, it would be difficult to observe in time, which might lead to a misjudgment in attack distance, causing subsequent moves to be problematic. Even if the attacker was struck, it was still possible for them to retaliate.
Facing such an attack, he took a step back, positioning himself just outside the opponent's intended landing point. The opponent could reach him but couldn't exert their full strength.
The muscular woman, seeing his retreat, immediately felt uncomfortable. She could only make slight adjustments as she rushed forward, extending her body slightly, hoping to gain better leverage.
But at that moment, Chen Chuan stepped forward, returning to his original position, and using the momentum to kick out with his foot! This retreat and advance completely disrupted his opponent's rhythm. The muscular woman had no time to adjust, and could only watch as a swift and fierce kick rushed towards her, slamming into her chin with a loud bang.
With this strike, the ground beneath Chen Chuan's feet cracked from the force, and the impact on her chin caused a painful explosion that hurt eardrums.
The muscular woman's chin was raised high, her throat stretched upwards. At that moment, Chen Chuan spun in place and kicked her chest with another loud bang. Her sturdy body flew sideways, crashing into a wall, collapsing it, and landing heavily amidst a pile of bricks and stones, without a sound.
Chen Chuan slowly lowered his foot, and his hand was still on the fighter's shoulder, feeling the slight tremors coming from her body.
In an instant, he had dealt with these three individuals, and they were injured but not dead, which was more challenging than simply killing them.
He was able to do this because after merging with his second self, his speed and strength completely overwhelmed his opponents. Under his powerful spiritual force, he could clearly see the force paths of these three individuals, as if they were transparent to him.
However, his eyes flickered slightly, as he sensed that the Allied Heavy Duty was trying to rely on these three individuals to navigate the Fusion Zone, which was far from sufficient. Among the three, only the muscular woman barely touched upon the edge of Heart Pulse.
It should be known that Pioneer Teams that could navigate the Fusion Zone were composed of fighters with Heart Pulse, like Chen Bitong, Lao Hu, and Yang Shen. Ideally, they would also have good coordination among themselves, which these three lacked.
Considering this, it was highly likely that there were other members besides these three. But for now, he would put that aside and first take these three back for interrogation.
He tapped the Dimensional Token and spoke to the squad members outside: "I've handled the situation here. Someone informed them before I arrived, so there might still be others nearby, but we don't know their numbers yet. Be careful."
Since there were still many residents around, he couldn't use his spiritual power on a large scale, so there would definitely be some who escaped.
These individuals could be handled by the squad members outside.
He glanced at the lingering Dawn Cry in the sky, then released the fighter's shoulder and stepped into the house where the three had been.
The fighter remained stiff, not daring to move a muscle, because he could sense a force within his body. If he moved even slightly, it might rush towards his brain, leading to a terrible death.
Chen Chuan entered the house and scanned the room. Most of what he saw were training equipment and gear belonging to the three. On the table was a Central City map, beneath which was a radio, and scattered around were some nutrient gels.
He walked towards the back of the house and, at the very end, saw a half-person-high metal box. It was empty, and he couldn't discern its purpose.
He approached it, took a look, and tapped the Dimensional Token, saying, "An Dun, take a look, what is this?"
"Analyzing... Based on the box size and residue on the walls, it's determined that the contents are a large combat creature not yet on the market."
A large combat creature?
Chen Chuan took another look. The box was already half a person's height, and typically, combat creatures were kept in a curled-up state during transport, so it was easy to imagine that when fully extended, this creature could indeed be very large.
He asked, "An Dun, can you tell how long this thing has been gone?"
"Based on the traces, it should have been three to five hours."
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. If it had been three to five hours ago, that would have been during the morning, and Huang Wei-yi's surveillance team hadn't noticed anything.
Something this big couldn't have moved without making a sound.
So...
He reached out and casually pushed the metal box aside, revealing a deep pit underneath.
