Chapter 741: Gathering
Chapter 741: Gathering
As Xu Chan unleashed his power, shattering Euseios Hross with a single blow, he didn't hesitate and sprinted away.
Qi Qianyang watched Xu Chan's retreating figure, his gaze lingering for a moment. He seemed to ponder something, as if he didn't care much, and didn't chase after him.
And...
He turned his head, and in the distance, two figures appeared in his line of sight. They moved swiftly, like flashing bolts of lightning, accompanied by thunderous sounds.
Qi Qianyang's eyes darted left and right, noticing the faint glow on the fluttering arm fins of the approaching figures. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the next instant, with a thunderous boom, Sigward, the younger brother of the Thunder Twins, was punched by Qi Qianyang and slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater. Qi Qianyang, using the momentum of his punch, bent down, dodging a kick from his sister, Svia, who was about to strike from above.
Svia's kick missed, and she was propelled forward by her own momentum, but with a graceful mid-air twist, she flashed like a bolt of blue lightning and turned back. However, just as she was about to charge again, Sigward's body suddenly loomed large in front of her, and she hastily reached out to catch him. The two tumbled and rolled on the ground.
Before Qi Qianyang could finish throwing Sigward, a massive shadow appeared silently behind him. The figure was over three meters tall, almost as imposing as Hross. It moved with astonishing speed, like a fleeting shadow.
"Gray Whale" Sent Valkoni.
The iron hammer in Sent's hand glowed faintly, and he brought it down with force, striking Qi Qianyang's shoulder!
Even though Qi Qianyang had channeled some of his psychic power to dissipate the glow on the hammer's surface, the impact still transmitted into his body, shattering the bones on contact. His entire shoulder caved in, but he stood tall, unbending, and turned his head, his eyes shifting to the side.
Sent's heart skipped a beat, sensing the danger. Before he could react, his bulky body soared into the air, covering dozens of meters, and crashed into the riverbank.
Qi Qianyang tore off his upper garment, revealing his sleek, shiny back and the distinct, broad back muscles resembling a pair of wings. He slightly rotated his shoulder, and a series of cracking sounds followed as the broken bones reassembled. By the time he straightened up, his shoulder had completely healed.
At that moment, members of the Union and the Linaksis Federation began to arrive. They witnessed the scene of Euseios Hross and his three companions, all defeated by Qi Qianyang alone, leaving them in awe.
General Seraph, with her gray eyes, glanced at Qi Qianyang, but found no information about him in the Dimensional Token. She could only deduce from his appearance and skills that he was likely from the Great Harmony.
Seraph turned to a breathless martial artist who had caught up with her and said, "Go and inform the rear. Use the radio to send a message to the rear. Tell them to do whatever it takes to get the equipment ready by tomorrow."
The martial artist hesitated for a moment but dared not ask further. He saluted and immediately ran back.
Qi Qianyang turned to face the group emerging from the woods, a playful smile on his face. He stretched his neck, emitting a series of creaking sounds.
Just then, a loud boom echoed from a distance, and a pile of rubble was flung aside as Euseios Hross stood up again. His skin seemed to have turned a light golden color, shimmering brightly in the sunlight, and his seaweed-like hair had grown longer, reaching down his back. He appeared even taller than before.
At that moment, in the eyes of the crowd, he truly lived up to the title of "Titan."
The Thunder Twins, Gray Whale, and others who had been defeated by Qi Qianyang also rose to their feet, their eyes filled with caution as they realized that the man before them might be the strongest opponent they had encountered.
Was he from the Great Harmony or the Old Imperial House?
Meanwhile, many eyes were fixed on the orb in Qi Qianyang's hand, recognizing it as the object of their desire.
Qi Qianyang noticed their gazes and smiled. With so many people around, dispersing and cleaning up might be challenging, but since they had gathered here, he couldn't pass up this opportunity.
Just then, he sensed something amiss. Hmm?
The ground beneath his feet suddenly bulged, and a massive centipede-like creature burst out, swiftly wrapping itself around him.
The creature's emergence from the ground was astonishingly fast, with no warning signs. It immediately entangled Qi Qianyang, its numerous sharp hooks clinging to his body, attempting to pierce his muscles. Even so, it was evident that a significant portion of its body remained buried in the soil.
Not only that, but the ground around Qi Qianyang cracked open, and similar long-bodied creatures emerged from below, rushing towards the relic he held, seemingly intent on seizing it.
This relic not only attracted the attention of various factions but also held a powerful allure for the creatures in the Fusion Zone, driving them to rush towards it like moths to a flame.
As Qi Qianyang struggled, the others in the field recognized this as an opportunity. They charged forward with incredible speed.
The first to arrive were the Thunder Twins, who flanked Qi Qianyang from both sides like bolts of lightning, striking him with incredible force.
In an instant, his hips and one arm were hit with tremendous power, shattering them, and his entire body seemed to contort.
The renowned fighter, Soldier Ant from the Linaksis Federation, boldly charged forward, his fists clenched together, forming a massive pair of gauntlets. With a mighty blow, he smashed into Qi Qianyang's chest.
A thunderous sound reverberated as the Heart Force impact caused Qi Qianyang's chest to cave in, and his body, though wrapped in bugs, arched backward, nearly launching him into the air. Even with the restraint of the long bug, a squeaking sound emanated from the bug's body as it was stretched taut.
The attackers had landed their blows on Qi Qianyang, but his expression remained unchanged, with a crazed grin on his lips, instilling a sense of unease and danger in his opponents.
After the initial strike, none of them dared to continue their assault, quickly retreating instead.
As they watched, they noticed a faint glow emanating from Qi Qianyang's wounds, and the shattered flesh began to swell and heal rapidly. The long bug, which had wrapped around him, swelled and then burst open during the healing process.
Qi Qianyang tore the bug's body from his own, flinging it to the ground. Just then, another figure charged forward, smashing the centipede-like bugs into a pulp. A fist with a faint glow struck Qi Qianyang's cheek with tremendous force, sending him flying.
Qi Qianyang tumbled and rolled on the ground for several dozen meters before coming to a halt, lying motionless.
The relic fell from his hand once more, and the remaining bugs rushed towards it, but before they could reach it, an explosive force scattered them.
Euseios Hross strode forward, picking up the orb-like relic. The winged monkeys, who had intended to attack him, now circled cautiously around him, their fear evident.
The onlookers gazed at Hross's imposing and nearly perfect physique, reminiscent of a mythical being, with awe in their eyes.
Hross's martial arts were said to be descended from the famous Harpomias Heroic Murals, one of the Western Continent's martial arts lineages, and were believed to have been practiced by ancient heroes.
This martial art was straightforward, focusing on significantly enhancing physical attributes, which often led to substantial combat prowess.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter drew everyone's attention to Qi Qianyang, who was now standing, his half-shattered head and face grinning maniacally. The wounds near his mouth emitted a faint glow, and his skin and bones gradually healed amidst the crackling sounds.
Once he stood again, he returned to his previous appearance, maintaining the same half-crazed smile.
As long as the relic's power remained, he could fully utilize it to repair himself. Notably, he had not yet unleashed his full strength, using only about a third of his capabilities.
However, the higher the limit, the more challenging it became to progress, and the differences between levels were not as significant as one might imagine. Even a slight improvement could lead to a substantial boost, let alone such a significant leap.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Qianyang's bones cracked as his height increased slightly. His loose pants tightened around his expanding muscles, and his eyes emitted an intensely dangerous aura.
With a smirk, he turned his attention back to the relic in Hross's hand, intending to reclaim it. But as he took a step forward, he paused and looked in a specific direction.
Hross, prepared for an attack, also turned his gaze in the same direction.
The others, unaware of what was happening, followed their lead, their expressions turning cautious as they looked in the same direction.
At first, nothing seemed amiss, but soon, a large flock of birds scattered from that direction, seemingly sensing danger. A subtle tremor shook the ground, causing small stones to vibrate.
A rolling white line appeared in their vision, toppling and breaking low-lying vegetation in its path. The rumbling sound grew louder as it approached.
Amidst the onlookers' wary gazes, a massive wave of energy burst out of the forest, coming to an abrupt halt as it emerged. The muffled thunderous sound reverberated, and through the swirling dust, a tall figure stood, partially obscured by a red scarf fluttering in the wind.
