112: Chapter 112 Blade Storm

Chapter 112 Blade Storm

Wu Shihao watched in dumbfounded silence as two high-level members of his gang were instantly killed in seconds.

Panic and regret immediately welled up in his heart.

Seeing Fang Cheng walking over now, as if he intended to deal with him, he panicked and said,

"Wait, I still have many hostages in my hands. If you want to know the whereabouts of that little girl, let me go."

Hearing Wu Shihao use this matter to threaten him, Fang Cheng was noncommittal.

He turned his head and looked at the other three people:

"Whoever goes and brings back those imprisoned girls for me, I will spare their life."

Hearing this, Longfa and the two bodyguards were momentarily stunned, but joy immediately appeared on their faces as they hastily raised their hands.

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"

As they shouted, they scrambled and raced toward a door on the inner side of the office.

In the blink of an eye, they threw their former big boss to the back of their minds.

"You ungrateful bastards!"

Seeing that everyone had betrayed him and he was left completely isolated, Wu Shihao couldn't help cursing angrily.

But immediately after, he let out a cold laugh:

"Hehe, do you think it's over just like this?"

It was as if to verify his words,

the large glass container placed in the center of the office suddenly emitted continuous beep-beep alarm sounds.

Fang Cheng's expression changed slightly as he looked closely.

He saw that the container filled with liquid was currently flashing with red light and bubbling continuously.

Like a coffin made of special glass, a naked male human specimen lay inside.

The specimen had an unusually huge build, estimated to be over two meters tall, with its limbs, neck, and waist bound by shackles forged from fine steel.

At this moment, however, it seemed to come alive, abruptly opening its eyes, its muscles bulging as it let out an angry roar.

The huge sonic wave impact reverberated through the flowing water.

Instantly shattering the glass into pieces, all the liquid inside the container poured out onto the floor.

Wu Shihao squatted on the ground holding his head, then quickly raised his head to look at the test subject that had fully revealed its true form.

He saw that the five fine steel shackles binding the test subject had unexpectedly been snapped apart.

"This monster has finally gained its release..."

Fear flickered in Wu Shihao's eyes, yet he also looked somewhat crazed:

"Since you won't leave me a way out, at worst we'll all die together!"

He was inherently an overlord-like figure and had already anticipated his own end.

Tonight, he had made the worst-case preparations, tampering with things beforehand and secretly hiding the switch controller for the water tank storing the test subject in his hand.

Once he found the situation unfavorable, he would immediately press the button to release the "monster" inside to fight the enemy.

At this moment, Fang Cheng couldn't care less about Wu Shihao's thoughts and tricks.

His gaze was fixed on the man who stood towering like a small mountain.

His head was almost touching the ceiling, his entire body's skin was blood-red, and ulceration had even appeared.

Yet his bare muscles were extremely developed, existing in a fibrous bundle state, resembling dozens of crisscrossing steel bars.

His opened eyes rolled around like two shaking bronze bells, likewise filled with a blood-red color.

Not to mention his bizarre and terrifying appearance,

the mere two-meter-plus-tall physique gave people an unusually powerful sense of oppression.

Fang Cheng did not know what on earth this thing was.

But he could sense an extremely dangerous aura from the man, so he immediately grasped his blade with his left hand and held his gun with his right hand, standing in strict readiness.

Seeing Fang Cheng behave so cautiously, Wu Shihao also quickly climbed to his feet and introduced it not without complacency:

"You should have heard how the leader of the Three Wolves Gang had someone charge into his headquarters single-handedly and directly twist off his head, right?"

"Although this test subject lost its mind and was classified as a defective product, in terms of strength, it is far more powerful than the other Protector experts of our gang."

"Because it is a human weapon that the organization spent decades of painstaking effort to research!"

Looking up at the mountain-tall man, Wu Shihao's eyes were filled with madness at this moment, and then he spoke, asking the other party a question:

"Hey, do you still recognize me?"

The test subject looked down at him, seemingly trying to recognize his appearance.

Seeing this, Wu Shihao felt a slight joy in his heart and hurriedly reached out to point at Fang Cheng, who was standing a few meters away.

"That fellow is the enemy of our Red Tiger Gang, go and kill him quickly!"

The test subject's mouth parted slightly, emitting a low, beast-like roar as if responding to him.

Suddenly, however, it reached out a winnowing-basket-sized large hand, grabbed his head, and lifted him directly up like catching a small chick.

"What are you doing? I told you to deal with the fellow in black clothes, not me—"

Wu Shihao cried out and explained in terror, attempting to struggle.

The test subject paid no attention to what he was saying at all. With a forceful squeeze of its five fingers, it directly crushed his head.

Then, parting a mouth full of ghastly white teeth, it directly bit into Wu Shihao's neck, actually slurping up his blood with gurgling sounds.

As Wu Shihao's body became like a withered corpse, this naked, bizarre man was also undergoing new changes.

The ulcerated skin on his muscles seemed to slowly recover, and thick veins bulged out like small snakes, undulating and slithering along his body.

Watching the scene before his eyes, Fang Cheng's pupils inevitably constricted.

How could this still be a human?

This was clearly a demon from legends!

However, Fang Cheng did not act rashly.

He faintly heard a commotion of human voices in his ears.

Those children should have already been released and were hurrying toward this side.

Now was not the time for a battle.

Moreover, the monster in front of him obviously didn't have a normal brain.

Since it had already killed Wu Shihao, who imprisoned it, perhaps its anger would subside and it would hopefully leave at this point.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Sucking dry the blood inside Wu Shihao's body, the test subject casually threw the corpse to the ground.

Then it turned its head to look at Fang Cheng, who was standing motionless.

Its eyeballs rolled around, and it licked its lips as if still unsatisfied.

Not good.

Warning signs suddenly arose in Fang Cheng's heart, and he instantly exerted force with the soles of his feet, leaping forward with a stride.

Bang!

A huge pit unexpectedly appeared where he had originally stood, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out.

Wood chips from the floor flew everywhere, and the cement layer seemed almost pierced through.

The test subject withdrew its fist from the pit, its eyes once again revealing a fierce light as it stared at Fang Cheng.

Seeing that the power of this punch from the opponent was so terrifying,

Fang Cheng naturally wouldn't choose to fight it head-on.

After dodging the attack, he quickly raised his handgun and fired three consecutive shots in rapid succession: xiu, xiu, xiu.

Accompanied by the eruption of gunfire, the bullets shot rapidly toward the opponent's glabella, throat, and heart, hitting all targets with precision.

However—

the scene in the next second left Fang Cheng quite shocked.

These three bullets did indeed hit the target, burrowing deep inside the opponent's body.

It was just that the monster seemed unable to feel pain, directly digging the three bullets out of its flesh with its fingers.

Afterward, the injured parts were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly closing up.

Such a perverted regenerative ability had already exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

Perhaps...

precisely because it possessed this peculiar ability, its muscular skin did not completely ulcerate.

Although the test subject didn't suffer much damage, it was also infuriated by Fang Cheng's act of opening fire and attacking.

Its crimson eyeballs bulged outward, with strands of blood vessels popping out.

Its mouth let out a low roar, and it immediately rushed toward him with faster speed and greater force, like a dump truck.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Its fists smashed down continuously like a battering ram, and cement splattered everywhere.

Fang Cheng's figure was as agile as an ape, continuously rolling and jumping to dodge the successive attacks.

The test subject's strength was terrifyingly great, and he absolutely could not let it get close to him easily.

Otherwise, even with Fang Cheng's current physical strength, taking even the slightest hit would result in severe injuries or even death.

Right now, he could only rely on his flexible skill to dodge unceasingly, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack with his gun.

Wanting to maintain a steady crosshair while moving fast was actually an extremely difficult thing.

However, Fang Cheng possessed the skill special effect of "Ghost Shooting"!

He saw him kick off the wall with his right foot, his figure leaping high into the air and crossing paths with the pursuing test subject.

Bang!

The test subject's fist violently smashed into the wall, blasting out a pit.

The gun in Fang Cheng's hand pulled the trigger at the same time.

Xiu, xiu.

Blood instantly spurted, and the bullets unexpectedly hit the opponent's both eyes, burying deep into the eye sockets.

You must know that no matter how developed the muscles were, it was impossible to give vulnerable locations like the eyes sufficient protection.

Sure enough,

the test subject finally let out a howl of extreme pain.

Fang Cheng's figure landed, and seeing this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The opponent obviously hadn't reached the perverted level of erasing all weaknesses.

And most importantly, because its body was too huge, its level of agility was actually slightly inferior to his by half a notch.

Every single one hit!

This left Fang Cheng with a sliver of hope to defeat this terrifying monster.

Of course, to ordinary people, its speed was still terrifyingly fast.

At this time,

less than half a minute had passed since Wu Shihao released the test subject,

a group of people happened to run out from the direction of the office side door.

Seeing the scene before their eyes, they were all incomparably shocked, standing in place at a loss.

Fang Cheng turned his head to look and saw Longfa and the two bodyguards appearing at the side door with a group of children. Among them, a similarly panicked face was very familiar—it was Wen Xin.

So he immediately shouted: "Be careful, run back quickly!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Wen Xin in the crowd couldn't help revealing a look of doubt.

At the same time, although the test subject's eyes were blind, its perceptual abilities had not been lost.

Hearing the noisy commotion made by the crowd, it instantly stomped its sole on the ground, rushing toward the crowd like a violent gale with a swish.

Longfa, who bore the brunt, was unexpectedly grabbed by it. Before he even had time to cry out for help, his neck was bitten into.

The test subject was obviously prepared to suck dry his blood to restore its own injuries.

This guy was simply perverted to an outrageous degree.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng promptly shouted to the remaining two bodyguards:

"Hurry and take the children away from here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt it was inappropriate again.

"No, it's too late!"

Fang Cheng immediately raised his handgun without hesitation.

Firing continuously for a few shots, he completely attracted the test subject's attention back onto himself.

The most suitable method now was for himself to lure this monster away, allowing Wen Xin and those children to safely evacuate.

The test subject seemed to still retain some human emotions. In its fury, it discarded Longfa's corpse and turned to chase after that most heinous person.

Fang Cheng kept firing to provoke it while running toward the outside of the corridor.

Thud, thud, thud!

The test subject's two iron-fan-like soles stepped on the floor, leaving a footprint with every step.

Its head crashed into the door frame, directly smashing out a human-shaped gap.

Its body, over two meters tall and resembling a small mountain, ran at full speed, shaking the entire corridor in unison.

Clatter—

The stairs built of iron plates were also trampled until they completely fell apart.

Its huge physique, like a giant eagle following its prey, soared into the air and lunged toward the pitch-black second-floor warehouse.

Immediately after, its two feet heavily stomped on the ground, stirring up a flurry of dust and cement debris.

However,

the moment the test subject landed, a cold light flashed abruptly.

A sharp butterfly knife pierced through the dust with lightning speed, unexpectedly stabbing into the region of its heart.

But the blade only sank in half a centimeter before it could go no deeper.

It was just as if the target it pierced was not a body of flesh and blood, but highly resilient rubber.

The test subject roared, its arms closing in an enclosure, intending to hug the black-clad figure who had ambushed it.

The figure's body was like the wind, instantly flashing backward to retreat.

In the darkness, Fang Cheng's eyes revealed a red glow, staring closely at the demon-like test subject.

He found that the opponent's eyes had actually been sealed by re-healed flesh, as if forming a protective film.

Aside from hitting vulnerable locations, the damage caused by bullets was very limited.

The blade was likewise hard to pierce through the opponent's armor-like, formidable muscle tissue.

As for fists and kicks, they were obviously of no help in dealing with this kind of monster.

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment.

Of course, he could choose to delay for a moment, then shake off the opponent and safely evacuate this place.

It's just that—

deep inside his heart, there was an incomparable strong desire that made him reluctant to give up this extremely dangerous battle.

Facing such an unprecedented formidable enemy, how could he retreat and concede defeat without using his full strength!

As the thought flashed by, the red light in Fang Cheng's eyes grew even more intense, as if flames were burning fiercely.

The blood throughout his body also began to heat up and get hot, until it boiled.

Then he tightened his grip on the butterfly knife in his hand, looked at a piece of skill information appearing on his panel, and decided to give it a try.

[Blade Storm: Wield sword or blade-type weapons with ultimate strength and speed, generating Saber Qi several times sharper than ordinary attacks. Note: Consumes a large amount of physical strength and spirit, please use with caution]

At the same time, the test subject roared, its tall and sturdy body already lunging forward.

A fierce glint flashed in Fang Cheng's eyes. This time, he did not continue to dodge the enemy, and silently chanted in his heart:

"Blade Storm, activate!"

The moment the enemy lunged right in front of him, Fang Cheng also instantly pushed his bodily functions to the limit.

Then lowering his head and bending over, he kicked the ground to exert force, swinging his blade frontally to meet the attack.

Vaguely, an extremely scorching energy seemed to surge out from Fang Cheng's body, attaching itself to the butterfly knife.

Making this strike look unremarkable, yet leaving a blood-red trace in the dark, cold air!

Seeming to sense a certain danger,

the test subject extended its huge palm, directly grabbing toward the butterfly knife slashing at its own throat region.

Measured by the strength of its muscles and bones, its hands were its strongest weapon. Ordinary firearms couldn't even cause effective damage, let alone this kind of cold weapon.

However,

Chi!

When the test subject's palm grabbed Fang Cheng's blade, a crisp tearing sound rang out.

It was just like a sharp blade tearing leather apart, irresistible and cutting through bamboo like split wood.

The test subject's right palm, along with its five fingers, was neatly severed at the root, falling to the ground.

"Aoo—"

Feeling the excruciating pain brought by the severed palm, the test subject once again let out a miserable howl.

Immediately following that, it waved its other hand and violently smashed toward the culprit who had harmed it.

With a "bang,"

the cargo container beside it was instantly beaten into a concave shape.

Fang Cheng sidestepped to dodge the attack, steadied himself, and took a deep breath.

He could feel that this seemingly simple Blade Technique attack had consumed quite a bit of his energy.

It was like scooping away nearly half of the strength stored inside his body.

Seeing the flesh at the test subject's severed palm writhing, stopping the bleeding and repairing the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye,

seeing this, Fang Cheng couldn't help becoming even more excited, his pupils flashing with flame-like red light, faintly carrying a sense of madness.

It doesn't matter.

Since one slash couldn't solve you, I'll come with a few more slashes.

First cut off both your hands so you lose the claws and teeth to commit crimes.

Then slice open your neck so you can't roar out howls.

If that still doesn't work, I'll hack you into a thousand pieces!

Let me see whether you are truly the demons and ghosts of legends!

...

In the cold night sky, icy rain fell.

Across from Dongdu Port, the outlines of high-rise buildings loomed vaguely in the night.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Accompanied by the sound of rotor blades coming from afar to near, a silver-painted armed helicopter flashing red lights flew toward the port side.
