Chapter 914: The Centipede Elder, Kicked Around by Night City
Chapter 914: The Centipede Elder, Kicked Around by Night City
"Crack!"
In the instant the fang and fist collided, a crisp sound reverberated, and Centipede Elder, witnessing his sharpest mandible shatter under the force of the punch, wore an expression of sheer horror.
"Boom———!"
Despite the vast disparity in size between the two, no overwhelming dominance emerged during the brief moment of expansion.
Amidst the deafening sonic boom, a powerful shockwave instantly spread across the entire game mall, affecting both Night City and Centipede Elder, causing them to be propelled backward by the immense force.
Night City, due to the repulsive force, slid several dozen meters on the ground, his right hand numbing. As he lifted his head again, a hint of lingering excitement appeared on his face.
"He's even tougher than I imagined. With his regenerative abilities, he won't go down easily. Looks like I can have some real fun now!"
Compared to Night City, who had only slid back a dozen meters, Centipede Elder was in a much worse state.
Initially charging forward with his slender body, he was now forced into a straight-up "L" shape by the repulsive force.
Then, due to inertia, his upright head, heavy and subjected to the impact, toppled backward.
Centipede Junior, a Tiger-Class Monster who had been fighting against Lily and the Blizzard Group, along with several other Monster Association minions, had been evenly matched against B-Class Hero Dumb Chicken. But before long, their bodies were engulfed by a massive shadow.
"Boom———!"
Centipede Elder's body slammed into the ground, causing another intense tremor.
Lily and her companions, who had been in a fierce battle, stood frozen in shock as they witnessed the mosaic-covered remains of Centipede Junior beneath Centipede Elder.
Just moments ago, Centipede Junior and another Tiger-Class Monster had been pushing Dumb Chicken to the brink of defeat, but now they lay crushed beneath Centipede Elder...
"Damn human heroes, you killed my junior!"
Although his mandible was broken, Centipede Elder himself was mostly unharmed. However, when he straightened his body and saw the mosaic-covered remains of Centipede Junior, he glared furiously at Lily and her companions, who were utterly bewildered.
Lily: (▽｀) We'd love to take credit for defeating a Tiger-Class Monster, but the truth is, your adorable junior was crushed by your own doing!
Centipede Elder, already deciding to pin the blame on Lily and her group, glared at the Blizzard Group and, without hesitation, spat out a mouthful of dissolving acid capable of melting rocks.
As the green dissolving acid, like a sudden downpour, enveloped them, fear flashed across Lily and her companions' faces.
"Heaven's Chosen, Iron Fortress, Dragon Walk, Lion Roar, Tiger Roar, Wolf Run, severing heaven and earth before the collapse.
Duandong - Binding Path of Eighty-One - Cut the Void!"
A glass-like protective barrier materialized in front of Lily and her group, catching the dissolving liquid spat out by Centipede Elder. Instantly, white smoke with a sizzling sound rose from it.
Before Lily and her group could react, Night City's figure suddenly appeared above Centipede Elder's head, delivering a whip-like kick directly onto the monster's other fang.
"Crack———!"
As a circular shockwave erupted between Night City and Centipede Elder, Lily and her companions stared in disbelief as Night City not only broke Centipede Elder's fang with a single kick but also sent the monster flying backward for hundreds of meters!
To be fair, Centipede Elder's body, even at its smallest, weighed several thousand tons, and he was a Dragon-Class Monster. Yet, he was now being tossed around like a toy...
During Night City's battle against the meteor and Boros, Lily and her group were not present due to their insufficient strength.
Whitney had always spoken highly of Yecheng's strength, but neither she nor the Blizzard Group had truly grasped the extent of Yecheng's power. They had merely regarded Yecheng as an ordinary S-Rank Hero.
However, witnessing the scene before them, they finally understood the true might of Yecheng. He was not just strong; he was beyond human!
The Devil Cyborg, also an S-Rank Hero, had been knocked out by the Centipede Elder with a single strike. Yet, Yecheng, who was only a few ranks higher, effortlessly kicked the Dragon-Class Monster Centipede Elder like a football!
Not only did Yecheng's brutal beating of the Centipede Elder shock Lily and the rest of the Blizzard Group, but it also left the Hero Association officials, who were monitoring the situation through closed-circuit television, completely dumbfounded.
President Xichi, along with the summoned Tatsumaki, Silver Fang, and Atomic Samurai, watched in disbelief as Yecheng sent the Centipede Elder flying with a single kick.
Tatsumaki had rushed over, worried about her sister being caught up in a Dragon-level disaster.
But seeing Yecheng at the scene, she couldn't help but glare at President Xichi and ask, "With this guy around, was it really necessary to urgently summon us for a mere Dragon-level monster?"
President Xichi was speechless at Tatsumaki's words. How could a Dragon-level monster be considered "mere"? Moreover, the Centipede Elder was a designated dangerous monster that the Hero Association had yet to eliminate! Although he was a Dragon-level monster, he was no ordinary Dragon-level monster!
After being kicked over a hundred meters by Yecheng, the Centipede Elder felt humiliated.
While Yecheng had inflicted minimal damage, the Centipede Elder was a high-ranking member of the Monster Association. He couldn't help but wonder if Dajingyan was using his psychic powers to observe him at that very moment. If this incident were to spread within the Monster Association, how could he ever show his face again?
After a brief exchange, the Centipede Elder believed he had grasped Yecheng's strength and characteristics.
In terms of strength, Yecheng, in his human form, was able to match and even repel the Centipede Elder, which was indeed impressive.
However, that was the extent of it. The Centipede Elder, with his hardened carapace, feared no opponent more than a powerful martial artist like Yecheng.
No matter how strong Yecheng's martial arts were, his massive size meant that any damage he inflicted on the Centipede Elder's body would only result in minor injuries.
Once the Centipede Elder confirmed that Yecheng lacked the ability to kill him, he became even more brazen.
The next second, as the Centipede Elder burrowed underground, the ground beneath Yecheng's feet shook, and a blood-filled maw filled with fangs burst through the rocks, biting down on Yecheng and lifting him into the air!
No matter how strong Yecheng was, he was still flesh and blood. As the Centipede Elder surged out from underground, attempting to swallow Yecheng whole, his sharp-toothed jaws, both upper and lower, were firmly held apart by Yecheng, preventing them from closing.
