148: Chapter 148 Sonic Assault

Since no tracking mark had been planted within the criminals' Souls, he could skip the step of waiting for the tracking mark to dissipate.

Combined with his experience in dealing with Speedster.

As Chen Moxuan killed these two criminals, he had already unleashed [Po Yuan] to precisely strike the not-yet-dissipated spirit power clusters deep within their Souls.

Soon, the brilliant golden runes manifested by the [Po Yuan] Divine Ability dissected the Special Ability Laws hidden within the spirit power clusters layer by layer.

Even though Chen Moxuan's figure had already teleported elsewhere, those fragmented Special Ability Laws still flooded into his mind instantly.

The Special Abilities of these two were of truly limited use to him.

Since he was currently fully focused on analyzing [Extreme Movement], the analysis of these two Special Abilities would have to wait.

Chen Moxuan's gaze suddenly tightened, and his Spiritual Sense surged outward like a tidal wave.

With himself as the center, every trace of Special Ability fluctuation within a ten-kilometer radius was precisely captured by him, leaving nowhere to hide.

As those criminals rushed toward this location, they continued to destroy things wantonly, their Special Ability auras completely unhidden and easily perceived.

"Everyone is having quite a lot of fun, aren't they..."

Chen Moxuan quickly locked onto the aura closest to him and dashed toward it.

...

This neighborhood was suddenly filled with the dense, rain-like sound of gunfire, deafening in its intensity.

Countless riddled corpses lay scattered all around, and the air was filled with smoke, as if the area had been baptized by the fires of war.

It could be seen that the remaining dozen or so survivors were holding various firearms, frantically pouring bullets into a shirtless, bald man.

Most of them operated their firearms with extreme clumsiness; a large number of bullets deviated from their intended trajectories, firing wildly into the surroundings.

Only a few bullets luckily hit the bald man, but they acted as if they had struck an indestructible metal barrier; the bullet heads instantly dented and deformed, falling weakly to the ground.

The bald man's Special Ability allowed him to turn any part of his body into a weapon he had previously touched.

At this moment, he had turned his skin into the material of the mechanical pod he had been sitting in.

Even an anti-materiel sniper rifle could not penetrate his skin.

However, the impact force caused by the bullets could slow down his approach.

"What kind of shitty event is this!"

Someone screamed in a breakdown.

Being chosen as a participant in the Continental Carnival was already frustrating enough, but to have to face Transcendent criminals possessing Special Abilities was even worse.

They had originally been hiding in their own homes, but after the bald man arrived, he turned his hands into rocket launchers with infinite ammunition and began bombing indiscriminately.

Many people died in the ruins immediately.

Some reacted quickly, earning points by pressing the button to send Monster coordinates, and immediately exchanged them for various weapons to fight back.

But wanting to fight a B-rank criminal with the ten points awarded once was absolutely impossible.

For example, the seemingly powerful exoskeleton armor was simply a trap.

Someone, relying on the confidence brought by the exoskeleton armor, rushed up to engage the bald man in close-quarters combat.

As a result, they were hacked into minced meat, one strike at a time, by the blades the opponent's hands had turned into; the screams were Soul-chilling.

As for exchanging all points for weapons at once, one would discover an even more pit-like fact.

The exchanged weapons did not include ammunition.

For instance, a man-portable rocket launcher that cost six points to exchange required another five points to exchange for ten rounds of ammunition to be usable.

By the time they realized they needed to coordinate with each other to exchange weapons, very few people remained alive.

The true way to use the ten points from this first wave of rewards was for them to plan together.

To increase their slim survival rate as much as possible when encountering Monsters.

Everyone fled while shooting, but as their ammunition stock gradually hit rock bottom, their fear surged like a tidal wave, becoming increasingly intense.

Several drones hovered around, quietly capturing all of this.

Unlike the people in despair on the scene, the livestream room within the drones was bustling with activity.

"The Arms Man's perspective is still the most explosive!"

"You can't get close to Freezing Man at all, and Gravity Man's perspective makes me a bit nauseous after watching too much."

"I'm from another livestream room; has anyone seen where Speedster went?"

"Streamer, streamer, please control the drone to get a little closer."

Arms Man, who was that bald man, had landed in the downtown area, closest to Chen Moxuan's position.

After landing, he did not rush to act, but instead turned the surrounding streets into ruins along the way.

Unlike other bloodthirsty lunatics, Arms Man preferred destroying buildings.

This was something he couldn't do wantonly in the past; now, thanks to the Continental Carnival, he could vent his destructive desires at will.

But just like others whose Special Abilities had run wild, these criminals had more or less some kind of psychological quirk.

For example, Arms Man loved to hear the roar of firearms firing.

This was also one of the reasons he let the mosquitoes in front keep biting him.

"Click, click."

The sound of gunfire stopped abruptly; the ammunition in everyone's guns had simultaneously run out.

In their fear, they completely forgot the crossfire coordination they had originally discussed.

"Damn it!"

Someone cursed angrily and began changing ammunition in a flurry, their movements clumsy and panicked.

Arms Man felt extremely dissatisfied with this sudden silence.

"Stopping? Then it should be my turn!"

His arms suddenly turned into two Gatling machine guns, pouring out firepower like a rainstorm toward the crowd.

"Big Shield Squad, get up there!"

A few people wearing exoskeleton armor and holding alloy big shields immediately moved to the front.

The rest put away their weapons and pressed their hands tightly against the backs of the Big Shield Squad members.

However, for the weapons generated by Arms Man's Special Ability, ammunition could be generated infinitely within his body.

Even with the strength bonus from the exoskeleton armor, the group only held out for a few seconds.

The dense, net-like firepower struck mercilessly, forcing them to retreat step by step, and gaps instantly appeared in their defensive line.

Large-caliber bullets instantly tore the people behind the shields to pieces, with blood splattering everywhere.

Those wearing armor suffered even worse; they couldn't die immediately, as bullets kept hitting their bodies, and the heart-piercing pain rushed in like waves, one after another, making them wish for death.

The tragic state of their surrounding companions further accelerated the collapse of their psychological defenses.

"Can someone save me!"

"Hero... where is the hero?"

Arms Man, while crazily shooting at the few heavy guys lying on the ground, laughed maniacally:

"What heroes? Isn't the Hero Association the one hosting this event?"

But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly, and the firing sound of the Gatling guns stopped along with it.

Neither anyone present nor the drone cameras hovering high in the sky could figure out what exactly had happened.

They only felt a blinding blue light flash by, accompanied by the roar of an explosion.

Immediately afterward, a dull sound like a watermelon bursting exploded in the air.

Looking again, Arms Man was left with only a headless torso standing alone.

This was the first time since Chen Moxuan's Breakthrough to the Tiangang Realm that he had unleashed all his means to increase his speed.

After mastering [Swift Thunder Body], the [Overlords Heavy Body] secret technique, and the [Formless Tribulation Flame] Special Ability, Chen Moxuan fused multiple methods, using a high-level movement Martial Skill as a template, to create a method that could elevate his speed to the extreme.

Coupled with a True Qi quality completely different from before, he had surpassed the speed of sound in one fell swoop.

Soon, five kilometers away in another direction from this location, a criminal immersed in a murder game also had his head blown up without even realizing it.

"Holy shit, how did Hercules suddenly explode?"

"Why is it like this here too? I just came from another livestream room."

"Something flashed by."

"Streamer, streamer, please upgrade the drone's recording equipment? Others are doing everything."

In the half-minute that followed, Chen Moxuan successively assassinated two more B-rank criminals; every strike was precise and fatal, giving the opponent no time to react.

Thus, out of the ten criminals deployed by the Hero Association, six had already died at his hands, contributing six analyzable Special Abilities to him.

Only two A-rank criminals and two B-rank criminals remained in the entire field.

Moreover, the auras of two powerful Special Ability fluctuations were already very close to the location of the air-raid shelter.

"The surprise attack ends here."

Although two small fry remained, continuing might lead to someone sneaking into his base.

Chen Moxuan decisively changed direction, his figure moving like lightning as he quickly returned to the entrance of the air-raid shelter, quietly waiting for the enemies to come knocking.
