302: There is still help

Zero seemed completely unable to understand what Tang Ku was happy about. In fact, a significant portion of his brain had been taken over by a bio-chip, and it was through this device that Francis issued him orders.

According to Francis's orders, he had to kill the person in front of him to complete his mission. Therefore, after the assassination failed, he had already begun to gauge the gap between himself and his opponent.

Physically, ordinary attacks were ineffective, so the only option left was to attack using speed...

With a shift in his consciousness, Zero instantly transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping fiercely toward Tang Ku.

In the air, one could only see a black afterimage darting back and forth around Tang Ku, seemingly searching for the right moment to attack.

Although Zero possessed the ability to think, he could not fathom why every one of his attacks missed, even though his opponent hadn't moved at all.

Tang Ku, however, was well aware of the reason. Because of his own Buddha Power and powerful aura, Zero, who relied on instinct and intuition to fight, had lost the ability to judge, causing his punches, kicks, sharp fingers, and palm edges to miss their targets by a hair's breadth, resulting in a complete failure.

And Tang Ku himself hadn't moved at all!

I thought you might evolve a bit more. That way, perhaps I could feel a tiny bit of threat from you... but... sigh, you are truly too weak...

Snap!

Tang Ku grabbed the opponent's right wrist. Zero felt no fear at all; instead, he swung his left leg, aiming a kick at Tang Ku's head.

Tang Ku was unhurried. He grabbed Zero's left foot as well, then swung him like a windmill into the ceiling, smashing a large area of light fixtures and glass before dropping him back to the ground.

Clapping his hands, Tang Ku couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "Is that it? Your body isn't even as sturdy as those guys from before. Just from this one throw, your body is already twisted like this? Heh, although you're a successful experimental subject, your power isn't even as good as those monsters from before. Could it be because their power was purer?"

With a disdainful smile, Tang Ku turned and walked toward the crowd; there was still someone there waiting for him to rescue them.

However, after taking only a few steps, Tang Ku suddenly felt a strong gust of wind attacking from behind. This force was incredibly concentrated, aiming directly at his heart, and its power was definitely comparable to an ordinary sniper rifle bullet.

In that instant, Tang Ku couldn't help but smile slightly. A faint golden light flashed across his body, directly repelling the attacker behind him.

The black shadow tumbled in mid-air for a moment before landing steadily on the ground, still wearing that same ordinary middle-aged man's face.

Hmm, so you really did evolve? Your attack power seems a bit stronger than before...

Looking back, Tang Ku saw Zero's right index finger retracting. Just a moment ago, his finger had become more than half a foot long. The metallic texture made one think of the liquid metal man from "Terminator," except this metallic transformation leaned more toward biological evolution.

Whether it's muscle strength, explosive power, or speed, everything is much stronger than before. Is this you adapting to my physical condition and developing your own potential?

Tang Ku laughed and looked at the confusion in the opponent's eyes, saying, "Can you keep attacking? Let me see just how far you've evolved!"

Zero's eyes still held confusion and doubt, but he charged at Tang Ku without fear. Suddenly, a pair of protrusions appeared on his shoulders, and from them emerged a pair of wings made of metallic bone. The moment these wings appeared, his speed increased significantly in a short time. Originally, Zero's attack and movement speeds hovered around the speed of sound, but now, the moment these bone wings appeared, although they weren't enough to make him fly, his speed reached over Mach 4.

Hmm, this is getting interesting. They say speed is weight; increasing speed while relying on a sturdy Physical Body can indeed generate powerful attack force, but... you seem to have forgotten who your opponent is!

Zero arrived in front of him in an instant, but his fist was firmly caught by Tang Ku. Then, Tang Ku grabbed the guy and violently threw him upwards. When he was upside down above his head, Tang Ku suddenly flipped over and delivered a kick to his chest.

With a crack, his mutated breastbone, which was harder than ordinary metal, was instantly shattered into pieces.

As his body was pulled backward by inertia, Tang Ku released his right hand, turned, grabbed the opponent's bone wings with both hands, propped his right foot against his back, and tore with force. The pair of wings instantly turned into countless parts, scattering everywhere.

At this moment, Tang Ku's combo wasn't even finished yet. The flying Zero had no strength left to resist in mid-air. Just as he raised his head to see his situation, a shadow loomed over him, and he was slammed violently onto the ground.

Boom!

The massive impact instantly slammed him into the floor. Ninety-nine percent of his skeleton had been pulverized by this punch, leaving his body stuck in the metal floor, unable to move.

Tang Ku flipped and landed not far away, retracting his fist into his robe sleeve. He continued walking forward without looking back, muttering, "Quite tenacious, and the physical quality evolves extremely fast. It's just like the way a Xenomorph grows and evolves rapidly when parasitizing another creature... This guy's potential is still quite strong; he should still have a chance to continue getting stronger..."

While thinking, Tang Ku suddenly felt as if his feet were bound by something. Looking down, he was shocked to find an arm coiled around his legs like a long snake. It was truly like a giant python, slowly tightening, attempting to fix Tang Ku completely in place.

Looking back, he saw that Zero was actually slithering along the ground, moving with astonishing speed. At the same time, his right hand lashed out, transforming in mid-air into something like a nine-section steel whip, rapidly whipping toward Tang Ku's head.

Heh, too naive. Even if your adaptability is strong, you can't possibly hurt me with this level of attack power!

The long bone whip rubbed violently against the air, sounding like a thunderclap, deafeningly loud. It is no exaggeration to say that the attack power of this "whip" was absolutely comparable to a divine thunderbolt descending from the heavens.

However, Tang Ku simply lifted his foot easily and tore off the palm and arm on his leg. As for the strike in mid-air, Tang Ku just met it with his bald head, shattering that arm into pieces.

Zero finally let out a muffled groan. The moment he flipped and stood up, his severed arms had already recovered as if new, but now, looking at Tang Ku, he hesitated.

Tang Ku looked at the guy's expression and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Very good, very good. Knowing fear means you are still salvageable!"
