Chapter 76: The Direct Strike
Chapter 76: The Direct Strike
Chen Chuan initially started with a leisurely walk, but as he progressed, he gradually broke into a jog, and his pace quickened with each step.
Scarface, with his current weight and build, effortlessly charged forward, shoving aside any obstacles in his path.
From above, Chen Chuan and Scarface would appear as two blades slicing through the crowd, approaching each other from the south and north, destined to collide at a single point.
As Chen Chuan ran, his eyes remained fixed on the figure ahead. When he saw the crowd had been almost entirely cleared, and the tall figure became clearly visible, he pushed off the ground with his feet and leaped into the air!
Scarface, having increased his speed, no longer swung his hammer. Instead, he held the weapon across his chest and charged forward. With each step, the ground beneath him crumbled, revealing a weight far greater than his appearance suggested, and an extraordinary force emanated from within his body.
Just as he felt he had cleared all obstacles and was about to break through, a figure suddenly charged towards him, leaping into his path. In mid-air, the figure curled their legs and then forcefully extended them, stomping on Scarface's forehead with a loud bang!
Scarface's head spun, and the momentum of his charge was abruptly halted. He staggered backward, stepping on and crushing several slabs of the pavement.
Chen Chuan, using the recoil from his stomp, flipped backward, spinning several times in the air before landing steadily on the ground. He slowly straightened up, his gaze fixed on Scarface.
Scarface, having regained his footing, now faced Chen Chuan. He realized that the man blocking his path was not ordinary and exhaled a scorching breath, his skin turning an even deeper red.
Qu Weituo, observing from behind, was stunned by Chen Chuan's kick that halted Scarface.
Scarface, with his military implants, had charged forward, and now someone had blocked him head-on. Even if Scarface hadn't reached his top speed, his massive body wasn't just for show. With such a powerful charge, wouldn't his legs break?
On both sides of the street, people watched 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 witnessed Chen Chuan's safe landing, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhilarated. His decision to assign his junior here had proven to be the right choice!
However, Wei Chang'an couldn't let his junior fight alone. He quickly urged the team behind him to bring up the ropes and various tools.
Scarface, after a brief stare-down with Chen Chuan, tightened his grip on the hammer and resumed his charge, increasing his speed once more.
Chen Chuan, showing no signs of evasion, rushed towards Scarface. Seeing his opponent's swift approach, Scarface swung his hammer horizontally, but Chen Chuan deftly avoided it with a swift side-step, closing the distance. As he ran, he first pulled his opponent's arm to the side and then unleashed a punch, slamming it into Scarface's chest!
A force akin to Primordial Strength erupted, causing Scarface to grunt and arch his back.
Chen Chuan followed up with a palm strike, unleashing a burst of Soft Force. He then extended four fingers and thrust them forward, piercing through with Piercing Strength!
Scarface's chitinous armor on his chest caved in, emitting a faint cracking sound. He bent over and retreated several steps.
Chen Chuan, seizing the moment, stepped forward and elbowed Scarface in the chest, forcing him to retreat again. Scarface instinctively reached out to block, but Chen Chuan sidestepped, grabbed his wrist, and punched his armpit. Taking a step forward, Chen Chuan seized Scarface's elbow, spun to the side, and with a powerful shoulder throw, slammed Scarface to the ground!
The impact created a shockwave, causing cracks to appear on the ground. Scarface lay motionless.
The onlookers at both ends of the street couldn't help but express their joy.
As Chen Chuan was about to approach Scarface, he suddenly sensed something and leaped backward. A hand reached out from beneath his feet, grabbing at him.
Scarface, with surprising resilience, flipped over and climbed back to his feet. When he turned to face Chen Chuan again, his eyes had turned completely red, and blood oozed from the scars on his face.
One of the company's clients, overcome with fear, turned to Qu Weituo and asked, "Qu Weituo, how...how is this guy standing again?"
Qu Weituo glanced at Scarface, thought for a moment, and whispered, "It's probably the 'Rapid Oxygenation' and 'Cardiac Resuscitation' functions of his implanted heart and lungs. These allow the implanted individual to continue fighting even after sustaining significant injuries on the battlefield, and their combat abilities are enhanced. That kid is in trouble."
(End of Chapter 76)
"Scar Face seemed to have transformed completely as he got up this time, no longer as clumsy as before, but with nimble movements. He swung the hammer like a straw, whipping it back and forth, filling the air with the sound of piercing aura blasts."
Chen Chuan's expression remained calm as he dodged, each time narrowly avoiding the hammer by a hair's breadth. He had been observing Scar Face's energy, and after the latter had swung the hammer seven or eight times, his breathing finally started to adjust. At that moment, Chen Chuan seized the opportunity and rushed in, reaching out to press down on the hammer handle that had been swung to the other side, adding an unexpected force that caused Scar Face's body to sway slightly."
Chen Chuan pressed his shoulder forward, and Scar Face was suddenly hit by an explosive force, causing him to stumble backward, his feet taking several steps back as he left a trail of cracked footprints."
Before Scar Face could steady himself, Chen Chuan rushed forward again. But at that moment, Scar Face seemed to generate an extra surge of power, and his feet stomped into the ground with a 'pa' sound. His body emitted a crunching sound as his muscles squeezed and rubbed against his bones, and the hand holding the hammer loosened, swinging his arm towards Chen Chuan with a powerful force that created a gust of wind."
Chen Chuan simply ducked to avoid the blow, but Scar Face's other hand seized the opportunity to punch towards him. It seemed like he wanted to smash Chen Chuan into the ground, but Chen Chuan blocked the attack with a swift upward parry."
This was the first direct clash between the two since the start of the fight. The sound of their arms colliding echoed, but Chen Chuan managed to withstand the force that could have easily knocked an ordinary person unconscious."
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and he took a quick, deep breath. He stepped forward, and the ground beneath him cracked further. His other hand came from below, and with a swift upward motion, he struck Scar Face's chin with an open-palm strike. Scar Face's head snapped back, but the blow, which could have broken an ordinary person's neck, did not knock him out. He only felt dizzy and his vision darkened momentarily."
However, Chen Chuan's attack did not end there. In full view of the onlookers, he continued the motion, pushing his palm upwards while extending his arm. His fingers curled slightly in mid-air."
Cai Sai, who was standing behind, shuddered at the sight of this move."
As Chen Chuan's back fully extended, his fingers clenched, and he brought his hand down, swiftly grabbing Scar Face's face and tearing it off with a 'sizzle'! The crowd gasped, and those who understood the technique exclaimed, "Tear Veil Palm!"
Scar Face's pain seemed to have been dulled, but this move still caused him to let out a painful howl, and he instinctively covered his face with both hands."
Chen Chuan, with a burst of power, lightly pushed Scar Face, who lost his balance and stumbled backward again."
Chen Chuan walked towards him and, passing by where Scar Face had originally stood, picked up the engineering hammer that the latter had dropped."
The hammer seemed weightless in Chen Chuan's hands as he twirled it a couple of times and then brought it down with a 'bang' on Scar Face's right knee. The sturdy object shattered, and Scar Face's body twisted."
Chen Chuan took two steps forward and pressed down on Scar Face's chest, causing the tall man to stagger backward. Chen Chuan then swung the hammer again, hitting Scar Face's other leg with a 'pa' sound. This time, the burly man could no longer support his body and collapsed to the side, his fall shaking the ground beneath him."
Scar Face breathed heavily, feeling around, as his eyes had also been injured in the previous grab. Yet, he still maintained his fighting spirit, seemingly unwilling to end the battle."
Chen Chuan slowly made his way behind Scar Face and raised the hammer high above his head, aiming for the latter's head."
After a brief pause, Chen Chuan brought the hammer down, striking Scar Face's head. But the force did not explode within his skull; instead, it seeped down his spine and spread throughout his entire body."
Scar Face began to tremble violently, his body making a series of popping sounds like bursting blood bags. Blood splattered from his body and limbs, pooling beneath him."
Chen Chuan tossed the engineering hammer aside and kicked Scar Face's head with a sweeping motion. The impact sent Scar Face flying into the empty store beside them."
Scar Face struggled for a moment before becoming still, his body twitching uncontrollably."
Chen Chuan slowly lowered his foot and turned around, walking calmly towards the street entrance."
The street was quiet, and everyone, whether from the martial arts club or the commission company, watched him with awe, unconsciously making way for him."
Chen Chuan walked up to Wei Chang'an and looked at him, speaking calmly, "Wei Ge, the fish is caught."
