Chapter 76: The Direct Strike
Chapter 76: The Direct Strike
Chen Chuan initially walked, but as he advanced, he gradually broke into a jog, and then his pace quickened.
Scarface, at this moment, also started to slowly charge forward, and as his speed increased, his current weight and physique effortlessly cleared the obstacles in front of him.
If one were to look down from above, Chen Chuan and Scarface would resemble two sharp blades slicing through the crowd, approaching each other from the south and north, about to collide at a certain point.
As Chen Chuan ran, his gaze remained fixed on the front, and when he saw that the crowd ahead was almost completely broken through, and the tall figure was already very clear, he tapped his feet on the ground and suddenly leaped into the air!
Scarface, at this moment, due to the increase in speed, had stopped swinging his hammer and was holding the weapon in front of his chest, charging forward. With each step, the ground beneath him was inevitably crushed, indicating that his weight was far greater than what he appeared to be, and the power erupting from within his body was immense.
And when he felt that the front was clear, as if he had completely broken through the obstacles, a figure suddenly rushed towards him from the front, and with a leap, landed near him. In mid-air, his feet curled, and then with a powerful kick, he stomped on Scarface's forehead with a loud bang!
Scarface's head spun, and not only was his forward momentum abruptly halted by this kick, but he also staggered backward several steps, crushing several sections of the pavement beneath his feet.
Chen Chuan, using the reaction force from his kick, flipped backward in the air, spinning several times before landing on the ground and standing firmly. He slowly straightened up, fixing his gaze on Scarface in front of him.
Scarface, having stopped, also looked at Chen Chuan in front of him, realizing that this person blocking his path was not ordinary. He exhaled a scorching breath, and the skin on his body turned even redder.
Qu WeiTuo, the commissioner from behind, seeing Scarface stopped by Chen Chuan's kick, was also stunned.
This was a military implant, and it had already charged forward. How could it be stopped from the front? Even though Scarface hadn't reached his maximum speed, his body weight wasn't just for show. With such a powerful impact, wouldn't his leg break?
The people on both sides of the street watched them with wide eyes, suddenly realizing that perhaps no one could stop Scarface.
Wei Chang'an, upon seeing Chen Chuan's kick, was initially startled, but when he saw Chen Chuan land safely, he breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he felt a surge of excitement, as his junior brother always brought him surprises, and his decision to assign him here was indeed the right choice!
However, he couldn't let him fight alone. He quickly urged the people behind to bring the ropes and various tools quickly.
Scarface, after locking eyes with Chen Chuan for a while, tightened his grip on the hammer and took another step forward, increasing his speed once more.
Chen Chuan, without dodging, charged towards him. Scarface, seeing him approaching rapidly, swung the hammer horizontally, but Chen Chuan simply leaned forward to dodge, quickly closing the distance. As he ran, he first pulled his hands to the side, then punched, slamming into Scarface's chest!
In an instant, a force akin to Primordial Energy erupted, causing Scarface to grunt, his back arching involuntarily.
After the punch, Chen Chuan transformed his fist into a palm and pushed forward, unleashing a soft force, followed by a swift stab with his four fingers together, penetrating with a piercing force!
Scarface's chest dented from the impact, and a faint cracking sound emanated from it. He bent over and retreated several steps.
Chen Chuan tapped his foot on the ground, rushed forward, and, using his momentum, elbowed Scarface's heart, causing him to retreat again. Instinctively, Scarface reached out to block, but Chen Chuan sidestepped, grabbed his wrist, and punched his armpit. Then, taking a step forward, he grabbed the upper part of Scarface's elbow, twisted his body, and with a powerful over-the-shoulder throw, slammed him forcefully onto the ground!
A loud boom reverberated, and a circle of cracks appeared on the ground. Scarface lay there, seemingly motionless.
The crowd at both ends of the street couldn't help but show their joy.
Chen Chuan was about to step forward when he suddenly sensed something and jumped backward. A hand reached out from under his feet, grabbing him.
Scarface flipped over and, incredibly, stood up again from the same spot. As he turned around to face Chen Chuan, his eyes had turned completely red, with fine beads of blood seeping from his skin, and the scars on his face seemed about to burst.
One of the company commissioners behind them was momentarily terrified and turned to ask Qu WeiTuo, "Commissioner Qu, how...how is this guy standing again?"
Qu WeiTuo looked, thought for a moment, and whispered, "It should be the 'Rapid Oxygenation' and 'Heart Resuscitation' functions implanted in his heart and lungs, which can allow the implanted person to continue fighting even after sustaining significant injuries, and their combat abilities will be enhanced. That kid is in trouble."
Scarface rose, seemingly transformed, his movements no longer clumsy but agile. He swung the hammer like a straw, whipping it back and forth, the air filled with the sound of his powerful strikes.
Chen Chuan, with a calm demeanor, dodged each attack at the last moment, closely observing Scarface's energy. After Scarface's eighth consecutive swing, Chen Chuan seized the moment when Scarface adjusted his breath. He darted forward, entering the inner circle in a flash.
Using his momentum, Chen Chuan pressed down on the hammer's handle, now on the other side, causing Scarface to lose balance momentarily.
Chen Chuan then pushed forward with his shoulder, hitting Scarface with a burst of force that made him stumble backward, leaving a trail of shattered footprints.
Before Scarface could regain his balance, Chen Chuan charged again. But this time, Scarface seemed to summon an extra surge of strength. He stomped his foot on the ground, his body emitting a cracking sound like the friction of a carapace. As he released the hammer, he twisted his waist and swung his arm, creating a powerful gust of wind.
Chen Chuan deftly ducked, avoiding the blow. Scarface, seizing the opportunity, punched downward, aiming to smash Chen Chuan into the ground. But Chen Chuan didn't dodge; instead, he raised his hand to block the attack.
This was the first direct clash between them. The sound of their arms colliding echoed, but Chen Chuan astonishingly withstood the force that could have knocked an ordinary person down.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and he took a quick, deep breath. He stepped forward, causing the ground to crack beneath his feet. With his other hand, he executed a palm strike, slamming it into Scarface's chin. Scarface staggered backward, but the blow, strong enough to break an ordinary person's neck, only caused him to see stars and feel dizzy.
Chen Chuan's attack didn't end there. As everyone watched, he continued to press his palm upward, extending his arm while his fingers curled slightly in mid-air. Cai Sidang, witnessing this action from behind, felt a chill run down his spine. As Chen Chuan fully extended his arm, his fingers clenched tightly, and with a swift downward motion, he grabbed Scarface's face and tore it downward with a ripping sound. A collective gasp filled the air as onlookers witnessed Chen Chuan peel off Scarface's entire face, including the skin and muscles.
"Tear Veil Palm!" someone exclaimed, recognizing the deadly move.
Scarface's pain seemed to be numbed, but this attack elicited a painful scream. Instinctively, he covered his face with both hands.
Chen Chuan gently pushed forward, his energy erupting, causing Scarface to lose his balance again.
Walking towards Scarface, Chen Chuan picked up the construction hammer that Scarface had dropped. He twirled the hammer effortlessly, then swung it downward, striking Scarface's right knee with a loud bang. Scarface's body twisted in pain.
Chen Chuan took two steps forward and pushed Scarface's chest, making the big man stagger. With another swing of the hammer, he hit Scarface's other leg, causing him to finally collapse to the ground. The impact was so powerful that everyone felt the ground shake beneath their feet.
Scarface lay on the ground, breathing heavily, blindly groping around. His eyes, injured from the previous attack, still held a fierce determination to continue the fight.
Chen Chuan walked behind Scarface and raised the hammer high above his head, aiming for Scarface's head. After a brief pause, he swung downward, hitting Scarface directly on the top of his head. The force didn't explode within Scarface's skull but instead traveled down his spine, permeating his entire body.
Scarface began to tremble violently, his body making popping sounds as if blood bags were bursting. Blood splattered from his body and limbs, pooling beneath him.
Chen Chuan casually tossed the hammer aside and kicked Scarface's head with a sideways sweep. The impact sent Scarface flying into an empty nearby store.
Scarface struggled briefly before becoming still, his body twitching uncontrollably.
Chen Chuan slowly lowered his foot and turned around. With a serene expression, he walked towards the street entrance.
The street was silent, and everyone, including the martial arts society members and the commissioner's men, watched him with awe, unconsciously making way for him.
Chen Chuan approached Wei Chang'an and looked up at him. In a calm voice, he said, "Wei Ge, the fish has been caught."
