Chapter 780: The Radiant Light in the Sky
The members of the Sagou Fist Sect seemed to possess incredibly resilient bodies. The impact of the collision was no less than being struck by a powerful force from above, yet they appeared unharmed and attempted to stand up.
However, for reasons unknown, they seemed to be restrained by an invisible force. It wasn't an external force but rather an internal resistance from their anomalous bodies, as if they were refusing to cooperate.
Han Fu's body wasn't as resilient as theirs. The injuries he sustained were real, and now he felt something amiss. The anomalous tissues in his body seemed to have lost control, refusing to obey his will, let alone heal rapidly. He found himself unable to get up, kneeling helplessly.
"What's going on?"
The two senators witnessing this scene were taken aback. They understood the concept of physical strength, but this was something beyond their comprehension. In an instant, they saw Han Fu and his three companions seemingly knocked down.
They couldn't help but feel disdain for these men, who seemed far less capable than their subordinates had claimed. Yet, they failed to realize the full extent of the situation.
In contrast, experienced fighters among the onlookers felt a sense of unease, sensing that something was amiss, though they couldn't quite put their finger on it. Han Fu and his men, being Tier Three Fighters, had moved with incredible speed. Some of the field domain screens, unprepared, couldn't capture the brief moment when they went down.
As the airships hovered nearby, their crews felt they couldn't wait any longer. Three airships gradually approached, surrounding the Processing Bureau's building, and one of them spoke up again:
"This is our final warning. For the safety of the citizens of Central City, we demand that all personnel contaminated with the infection immediately surrender their weapons and cease resistance. Otherwise, we will open fire!"
Hearing this, Han Fu burst into laughter, wiping away the blood from his mouth. He looked up at Chen Chuan, standing there, and said, "I remember the humiliation you inflicted upon me that day. Now, it's your turn to experience what I went through. How does it feel to be the target of everyone's arrows?"
Chen Chuan's gaze lowered, and he said, "You'd be more convincing if you weren't kneeling."
Han Fu's face turned red with anger.
Chen Chuan continued, "As for what you said..."
He looked up at the airships in the sky, and at that moment, the field domain around him suddenly expanded outward. The three airships, encircling the square, hovered at a height of several dozen meters above the ground.
In that instant, they seemed to have been struck by an unseen force. The airbags and cabins ruptured and split, and after a brief pause, they disintegrated. One by one, they plummeted from the sky.
Chen Chuan continued, "But they're just toys."
Boom! As if to emphasize his words, three massive explosions erupted almost simultaneously, sending flames and thick smoke billowing high into the sky above the square.
At that moment, those who had been paying attention to the scene were bewildered.
What just happened?
Why did the airships crash? Were they attacked?
Many wanted to understand what had transpired, but with the field domain signals from the airships now gone, the limited angles and aerial views provided by the field domain screens made it impossible to reach a definitive conclusion.
Han Fu struggled to lift his head, gazing at Chen Chuan's silhouette, backlit by the sun, his face obscured. His body trembled uncontrollably.
Having been so close, he had felt the immense power firsthand, and a thought formed in his mind—an answer he dared not believe.
Chen Chuan turned to Han Fu, kneeling before him. He walked forward, removed Han Fu's wide-brimmed hat, and grabbed his hair, forcing him to look up.
Han Fu seemed to sense something, a suppressed roar escaping his throat as he struggled desperately, but his movements were severely limited, as if his anomalous body refused to obey his commands.
Then, a fist was raised and brought down upon him!
Boom! A powerful force struck from above, and in that instant, Han Fu's flesh and blood, including his anomalous tissues, were swept away by a mighty surge, spreading out like a fan across the square's surface, leaving only a complete skeleton still attached to the scalp.
Chen Chuan released his grip, allowing the skeleton to fall to the ground with a clatter.
Wang Weiguang, witnessing this, felt his soul tremble. As Chen Chuan's gaze swept past him, a chill ran down his spine, and he turned and fled.
Chen Chuan raised a hand, his thumb pressing against his bent index finger. He aimed at Wang Weiguang and flicked his finger forward. A subtle flash of light passed by, too fast to discern, and almost no sound accompanied the action.
Wang Weiguang seemed to sense something, but his body couldn't react in time. His head exploded, and his body, propelled by an unseen force, tumbled through the air, flipping over a dozen times before crashing heavily onto the square.
The remaining onlookers in the square revealed expressions of shock and fear. They breathed rapidly, slowly backing away, afraid to make any sudden movements that might attract Chen Chuan's attention.
Chen Chuan paid no heed to them at this moment, instead turning around and looking ahead. At that moment, a huge shadow appeared on the top of the tall buildings on both sides, and in the sky, an extremely massive airship, resembling a flying creature, was slowly but steadily approaching their location.
With the appearance of this airship, along with the concentration of resources, the Parliament finally managed to project the scene here in its entirety to various areas of the Capital City.
In the White Bird Zone Hall, representatives from the United Federation delegation gathered, watching the scene on the screen. One of them asked, "Is that a Monster Airship?"
A staff member with relevant knowledge replied, "Yes, it's a Monster Airship, internationally rated as a Tier Two War Airship. This airship was jointly built by Datong's Dragon Roar Corp and Feng Hai Corp, and there are only two of them in Jinbei Dao Central City."
This airship was 300 meters long from end to end, and almost all of it, from the airbag to the hull, was made of bio materials. Even with the financial resources of the Municipal Parliament, they could only afford to maintain and equip two such airships.
Dozens of ground artillery cannons were mounted on this airship, all loaded with specially designed bio-material cannonballs. Besides dealing with wars of a certain scale, they can also be used to handle powerful Fighters."
Even the strongest Fighters who could withstand or dodge the bombardment of several cannons would be unable to withstand the simultaneous barrage of dozens.
Additionally, at the front and rear ends of the airship, there were two main cannons embedded, equally powerful but with a slow loading speed. They were generally impractical against Fighters, but if such individuals took refuge in sturdy buildings or confined spaces, these cannons could be useful.
At this moment, accompanying the Monster Airship were smaller airships on both sides and behind it. Together, these airships could compensate for each other's shortcomings in combat.
At the same time, the Field Domain Screens on the top of buildings in various areas displayed the scene in the Processing Bureau Square, with a host explaining the situation and informing the audience of the "culprit" responsible for the current situation and the reason for dispatching the airships.
Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but stare at the screen in disbelief. They had never imagined that such a massive airship existed in the Capital City.
As the colossal airship approached, its shadow seemed to cover the square and buildings below. Looking at the dark gunports on the bottom and sides of the airship, almost no one believed that anyone could survive facing such a powerful war machine.
At this moment, those close to Chen Chuan were all witnessing this scene. They had all received his message beforehand, telling them not to worry and that there was no need to come to his aid. However, despite this, their hearts were filled with unease.
Most of them believed that Chen Chuan could handle powerful Fighters, but facing such a formidable war machine, they feared he might be out of his depth.
On the outskirts of the square, Lv Zuo was about to rush towards it after seeing the Monster Airship, but a hand grabbed his shoulder.
He turned and saw Xu Chan, who said, "Old Xu, what are you doing? Go and help! How can we let Chen Director face this alone?"
"There's no need to go."
Xu Chan looked up, his voice firm, "Just watch."
In the Feng De Zone, at the Changsheng Hall, the two elders of the Tian Shu Gang, Yu Hongming and Yue Hongtao, were watching the Field Domain Screen. Yue Hongtao, seeing Chen Chuan standing in the middle of the square, smirked, "It was this Chen Director who stopped us before, but now it seems he's in a difficult situation. I wonder how he'll get out of this?"
Yu Hongming furrowed his brows, focusing on the screen. He saw the members of the Sagou Fist Sect still kneeling and unable to get up, and said solemnly, "Not necessarily."
Perhaps learning from the previous experience with the airships, the small airships on both sides of the Monster Airship started firing their machine guns before even getting close, fearing unknown long-range attacks.
But a shocking scene unfolded. Chen Chuan stood there without even attempting to dodge, and when the bullets entered the space about several dozen meters around his body, they seemed to enter viscous liquid, rippling and slowing down, eventually falling weakly at his feet.
Chen Chuan looked up at the sky, and a flickering golden-white radiance suddenly lit up in his palm. This radiance was so dazzling that even the Field Domain Screens flickered and became blurry, but his silhouette remained clear.
At that moment, the Municipal Parliament, the United Federation, the Linax Federation, and various parties were all watching. Those who understood the significance of this scene jumped up from their seats, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief, "This is..."
Chen Chuan's gaze was calm and deep. Suddenly, he raised his head and flicked his hand upwards, sending the massive golden-white glow into the Monster Airship.
A huge explosion shook the entire area, and in an instant, the Monster Airship burst open!
