Chapter 727: The Impact
Chapter 727: The Impact
This time, Chen Chuan didn't bring a pack horse; instead, he carried a box on his back. He took out the contents and changed into the uniform of an Investigation Director right there on the spot.
He put on two layers of windbreakers and protective gloves, flexing his fingers, and then examined the patterns on them.
These were the secret sect patterns he had drawn before setting out, but against opponents with strong spiritual powers and protective items, they might not be effective. So, he didn't rely solely on them; it was just a habitual backup measure.
In the end, a fighter's true worth lies in their practical combat abilities.
After putting on all his clothing, he donned a peaked cap and then took out a jade-like protective face shield from the box, fastening it to his face. He gently caressed the fluttering red scarf, then, holding the Snow Lady Sword that was already drawn, he headed towards the direction of the camp.
Although there was a domain monitoring system in place, he had a clear view of the camp thanks to Red Veil's domain assessment. As long as he suppressed his own domain, he could remain undetected from a distance. However, once he left the forest, he would be within the line of sight of the guard post, making it almost impossible to silently infiltrate the interior of the camp.
Therefore, he didn't need to make any special efforts to hide.
As he took a step forward, he released the restrictions on his altered body, allowing it to become fully active. After a few more steps, his skin became scorching hot, and wisps of white smoke rose from his body. With his next step, there was a loud bang, and the ground exploded, creating a deep pit. Dirt and stones flew, and the branches on both sides shook violently. Then, a figure wrapped in white mist rushed forward, accompanied by a loud sonic boom, like a launched projectile, towards the camp on the other side.
Yang Yongcheng had already retreated to the hill he had just passed through. From this distance, he could still observe the movements in the camp and retreat into the forest at any time, ready to react accordingly if necessary.
But just as he steadied himself, he heard a loud bang, a sound he was very familiar with—the sound a fighter makes when they burst through the atmosphere at top speed.
He couldn't help but look, and then he saw a white trail cutting through the forest like a breaking wave. The trees and the ground seemed to be sliced in two by this straight line, and then, with incredible speed, it rushed towards the camp of the coalition.
This...
He couldn't hide his shock and disbelief. He had thought that Chen Chuan had come here for reconnaissance or to contact someone inside, but he never expected such a seemingly crazy action.
This was a fully-armed camp with strong defensive capabilities, and his direct charge was beyond his imagination. Although his rational mind told him that this was impossible, this action made his entire body tremble with excitement, and he couldn't take his eyes off the scene below.
The domain monitoring personnel noticed the commotion first, but the speed was too fast. Before they could figure out what it was, Chen Chuan had already reached the front of the camp, and they could only manage to sound an alarm.
The riflemen on the outer guard post reacted even faster. The moment they sensed the anomaly, they turned and aimed their Scadi long-range rifles at the direction of the sound.
However, the speed of the approaching figure exceeded their expectations. As the forest split in two, dust and sand flew, and a white trail shot into the camp.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sound of gunfire rang out, but all the shots missed.
Chen Chuan stared at the front, leaning forward slightly, forming a narrow angle with the ground. The Snow Lady Sword was positioned behind him, and the windbreaker and the red scarf were pulled taut.
With his high-speed movement, the ten-meter-wide transverse moat was no obstacle. He lightly tapped his toes and leaped over it. The longitudinal moats only required a slight adjustment in angle to avoid them, and even some disguised ground obstacles were revealed by Red Veil's display.
As for the barbed wire and overlapping metal panels in front, he simply pushed the Snow Lady Sword forward, slicing through the obstacles. For thicker barriers, he had already observed them before rushing over and avoided direct collision.
At this moment, the machine gun posts around the camp opened fire. These posts had been strategically positioned to cover every inch of space with intersecting fire.
Facing such a dense barrage, even with his speed, Chen Chuan couldn't possibly dodge all the bullets. However, he didn't need to dodge. He slightly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. When the bullets hit his body, his internal heart force automatically reacted, and the double layers of windbreakers deflected the bullets away.
Apart from the machine gunners, there were also some riflemen who were fighters themselves. One of them didn't even look at Chen Chuan's figure or aim at him. Instead, he closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the trigger!
This shot perfectly predicted Chen Chuan's position. Just as the bullet was about to hit his side, one of his hands reached out, and with a snap, he caught the piercing armor-piercing bullet. He casually tossed the deformed bullet to the ground, and at the same time, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, the gunman suddenly flipped his eyes and fell backward from a height.
It wasn't just him; everyone within a few hundred meters of Chen Chuan's location who didn't have any protective gear, including Tier Three Fighters and below, all fell to the ground, losing consciousness instantly. Even Tier Three Fighters were left dizzy, struggling to grasp nearby objects to prevent themselves from falling.
In that instant, the firepower within close range suddenly went silent, with only sporadic sounds coming from a distance.
"Who is it?"
After the alarm in the camp and the roaring sound of Chen Chuan's impact, Renault and the camp's security personnel were all startled, trying to understand the situation.
A field monitor shouted, "Sir, in that direction, it's heading towards Mr. Wilhelm!"
Renault and the others immediately focused their gaze on the field monitor screen, only to instinctively gasp.
At this moment, they could tell from the field frequency that the intruder was a person, but the speed was so fast that even the field monitoring couldn't provide timely feedback, resulting in a blurry image on the field screen.
Renault didn't linger on the screen. He quickly ran out of the building and saw a trail as if slicing through the camp horizontally, heading towards the Linax Federation's camp gathering area. The ground shook with explosions wherever it passed, and his head and chest seemed to tremble. Everything he saw was filled with shattered fragments, some of which even drifted towards him.
He couldn't help but raise his voice towards the Boundary Token, "Activate the highest-level field monitoring!" Then he added, "And wake up Tex!"
In a building within the Linax Federation, Wilhelm was on the second floor's shaded terrace, sitting in a chair and reading a report about the Convergence Zone. He noticed the disturbance in the distance at the first moment and quickly removed his sunglasses, his blue eyes fixed on that direction.
In a 619 book, a bar, and a look, there was no mistake in the version!
Then he saw a trail cutting through the air, heading towards him, and he felt a strong sense of threat that he hadn't experienced in a long time. In that instant, every cell in his body seemed to enter a state of extreme excitement.
He stood up immediately, reached out to open a long case not far away, and took out a long gun made in the Western Continent. This four-meter-long gun was easily handled with one hand.
At the same time, beneath his skin, his veins began to glow with a faint light blue color, quickly spreading throughout his body. In his blue eyes, there was a glimmer of spiritual leakage.
He gripped the long gun with both hands, slowly lowering the muzzle, and his muscles started to swell. Beneath his seemingly slender physique was a body like a steel casting.
Since the age of five, he had been practicing breath techniques on the snowy summit of Piloes. At ten, he recited the Vanh Book atop the Hundred-Meter Holy Pillar in Gorivye. He broke through Tier Three on his seventeenth birthday and then spent day after day in Moeti's Ghost Oak Garden, honing his gun skills.
Every bit of altered tissue and every muscle fiber in his body had been tempered through countless trials, and his spirit had endured three torments. He had honed himself into a weapon approaching perfection.
He stood there with the gun, while the attendants and the entire building's security personnel all lay on the ground.
With his blue eyes, he stared at the approaching enemy, and the world seemed to slow down. He saw the trail colliding with a mass of air in front, shattering obstacles and buildings in its path. He witnessed a white trail of smoke that, in the blink of an eye, reached close by with a deafening roar.
Amidst a flash of blue light that couldn't be ignored, a snowy blade light traced a perfect arc, slicing towards him.
Wilhelm swiftly raised the gun with both hands and thrust it forward. As he did so, the air around him seemed to be pushed aside like a wall by his body, and the gun tip exploded with a gas blast. This shot was almost perfect in terms of angle, power, and force.
The next moment, the blade light instantly collided with the long gun, and with a boom, the building where he stood collapsed and shattered, and the front end of the gun also burst apart in an instant.
