144: Chapter 144 The Shadowless Kick in the Explosion
Chapter 144 Shadowless Kick in the Explosion
In the dark and narrow alley, a figure was running wildly forward at high speed.
With a single step, he could bound more than two meters away, as if a fierce beast was chasing and biting from behind.
In the surrounding residential houses, a few dog barks occasionally came from within.
The figure turned his head from time to time to look around.
The street lamp illuminated a slightly square face filled with vigilance.
It was precisely Pan Wendi, who had just used his ability to escape.
The town after nightfall was hazy with fog and dim lights.
The already crisscrossing alleys had become like a maze at this moment.
Pan Wendi had just been blindly drilling into the corners of dark and deserted alleys.
But now he felt as if he had lost his way and could not quite figure out the direction.
The surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, almost completely covering his vision.
Pan Wendi couldn't help panting and slowed down his pace.
He tried to carefully identify the direction and find a path out of this area.
Suddenly, his steps came to a halt, and his eyes stared straight ahead.
In the fog, a ghostly black figure vaguely emerged.
Immediately afterwards, rustling footsteps also came from behind him and the roof.
Pan Wendi's heart tightened, realizing that he was surrounded.
"You run pretty fast, but your eyes aren't sharp enough."
"His build looks quite sturdy; why don't you let me play with him first."
"Kid, obediently surrender, and you can suffer a little less pain..."
A burst of murmuring words drifted into his ears, resembling a soul-summoning and life-taking curse.
There were still many ghost-like figures vaguely around, gradually closing in.
Perhaps because he was overly nervous.
Clearly in danger, Pan Wendi's gaze was dazed, and his mind remained difficult to concentrate.
Right at this moment, a deafeningly clear voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Wendi, run towards the nine o'clock position of your current location..."
It was his cousin!
Pan Wendi's spirits lifted, and he suddenly found that the thick fog shrouding his eyes had disappeared, revealing the original appearance of the alley.
Around him were also a group of masked men wearing combat uniforms, as well as a few fellows with fierce looks in their eyes.
Clearly, he had fallen for some kind of mental illusion of the enemy just now, just running around in circles here blindly, resulting in being cornered and intercepted by people.
He immediately glanced out of the corner of his eye at the nine-o'clock position.
Standing there was a short-statured man, and right behind him was a narrow alley leading to the outside world.
Seeing this, Pan Wendi instantly exerted force with the soles of his feet and rushed over fiercely.
"Damn it, treating me like a soft persimmon, huh?"
The short man grinned and opened his arms, as if welcoming Pan Wendi, who was much taller and larger than him.
And just as the two sides were about to collide.
He saw his body hair grow against the wind, like steel needles instantly piercing out from his clothes.
The whole person abruptly turned into something like a hedgehog.
This also made Pan Wendi's active collision look like a suicide attack in the eyes of others.
But Pan Wendi still showed no signs of braking, because he had also used his ability.
His figure instantly faded and then disappeared, just like passing directly through the hedgehog-like short man's body.
The short man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and back.
But he heard the wind howling, and immediately after, his face was fiercely smashed by an iron rod, causing nosebleed to spray instantly.
When Pan Wendi crossed the darkness and reappeared.
Beside him, there also appeared a woman holding an iron rod with both hands and gritting her teeth.
It was Lin Chuqiao who had rushed over to rescue him.
"The fuck?!"
The short man glared angrily at the strange woman who had ambushed him.
Just as he was about to flare up, seeing the opponent's unusually shining pupils, his gaze instantly turned from anger to dullness.
Lin Chuqiao was not wearing glasses at the moment, and her mesmerizing gaze was completely exposed, murmuring in her mouth:
"Obey my command, you will protect our evacuation and block all pursuers with all your might!"
The short man's facial expression was dull as he nodded blankly.
Then he quickly turned around and looked at the others behind him with a ferocious look.
In his eyes, these former accomplices seemed to have become mortal enemies.
As long as anyone dared to bypass him, step into this alley, or flip over from the roof, he would immediately jump up and down, desperately blocking them.
He even continuously fired the steel needles on his body toward targets he couldn't catch up with in time.
Tat-tat-tat, like the power of a machine gun strafing, scaring everyone into dodging in a panic so as not to be beaten into a sieve.
It simply had the Aura of one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand unable to get through.
Those accomplices were instantly shocked and angry, shouting repeatedly:
"Damn it, what are you doing?"
"A-Jie, are you crazy or what?"
"Tang Dayuan, quickly use your Mental Energy to control him!"
The scene was chaotic and disorderly.
Lin Chuqiao took the opportunity to lead Pan Wendi and sprint wildly towards the exit direction.
Seeing that they were about to run out of this long, narrow alley and reach the main street.
Suddenly, the figure of a man wearing a black windbreaker appeared ahead.
"Careful..."
A huge sense of warning arose in Pan Wendi's heart, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.
Before he could explain the situation to Lin Chuqiao.
Li Chengjun raised his hand and gently waved towards the two of them.
Accompanied by this action, the manhole cover on the ground clattered and suddenly floated up.
Immediately afterwards, with a swish, it whistled like a missile, flying horizontally across the air toward the two of them.
Encountering such an attack in such a narrow environment.
Although Pan Wendi could use his ability to dodge, Lin Chuqiao couldn't.
He instantly gritted his teeth and fiercely blocked in front of her.
Bang!
The thrown manhole cover was firmly grabbed by the edge with both hands by Pan Wendi.
But the huge impact still shook his palm bones with severe pain and his shoulders with numbness, forcing him to step back several steps.
After barely catching the opponent's attack, Pan Wendi felt stuffy in his chest, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he hurriedly urged:
"Cousin, this guy is very strong, you run first, don't worry about me!"
Lin Chuqiao glanced at the pale-faced Pan Wendi.
Then she raised her eyes to look at the powerful and Yingjun man not far away, and spoke softly:
"Mister, we just want to have a cooperation with your esteemed organization, mutual benefit and win-win for everyone."
"Cooperation? Sorry, I only like to hog everything to myself."
Li Chengjun snorted with a smile and slowly shook his head:
"Besides, now with a buy-one-get-one-free deal, it's obviously even more cost-effective..."
While speaking, Li Chengjun's expression suddenly changed slightly, and his gaze was slightly dazed.
Then his eyes quickly returned to normal, and he snorted softly from his nose, looking a little annoyed.
"Your Mental Energy is about the same as mine, how dare you use such a petty trick on me?!"
As he spoke, a demonic blue eerie light flashed across his eyes.
That look was so terrifying as if he was staring at two preys waiting to be slaughtered.
Lin Chuqiao's expression tightened.
In her consciousness, she could clearly feel a huge, monstrous force like a towering flood sweeping over with the opponent's line of sight, seeming to swallow the two of them.
And behind them, because the charm art was interrupted, those pursuers also reorganized their order and chased closely behind.
Right at the dangerous juncture of tigers in front and pursuers behind.
Suddenly, a loud boom of "rumble" came.
It seemed that something exploded nearby, shaking everyone's ears to ring with buzzes.
Causing the pursuers to hug their heads and squat on the ground one after another, and also making Li Chengjun's body tremble, interrupting his control ability.
Flames surged at the mouth of the alley, and smoke filled the air.
Just as everyone's eyes were attracted by the explosion, a figure was running fast on the roof.
Like a bolt of lightning suddenly flashing in the dark night, kicking the few pursuers guarding the top flying away one after another.
Then descending from the sky, landing in front of the astonished Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi.
Although the newcomer was wearing a mask on his face, the two could still clearly identify each other's identity.
He was Fang Cheng.
"Follow me!"
Fang Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately opened his arms, like an eagle catching chicks, holding the injured Pan Wendi with one hand and wrapping his arm around Lin Chuqiao's waist with the other.
In less than half a second, he broke into the encirclement before the enemies woke up.
Not a single mistake, first release, inside content, check one by one!
Then squatting at the waist, kicking the ground with both feet, he prepared to take the two people and fly onto the roof again to escape alive.
"Want to run? No way!"
At this time, a cold snort sounded.
Li Chengjun reacted first and immediately activated his ability, determined to keep the three of them.
Before the sound had faded, Fang Cheng felt a huge crushing force coming from overhead and all directions.
As if the surrounding air had turned into a viscous liquid, and it was getting tighter and tighter, forming a force field effect of nearly dozens of times standard pressure on the people wrapped in it.
Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi suddenly felt breathing difficulties, stiff muscles, and completely unable to move.
And Fang Cheng, who had long adapted to the deep-sea environment, although he could still withstand it.
But his physical movements also became slower because of this, and his exertion was not sufficient enough to jump several meters high.
Let alone in this special environment, carrying two living people weighing several hundred catties of heavy burden to jump onto the roof again.
Watching the crowd rushing over aggressively from the opposite side, and behind them a competitor with unfathomable strength.
There was no way out front, back, left, right, up, or down, and it seemed they had fallen into a dead end.
Fang Cheng's gaze narrowed slightly, and he immediately took a deep breath.
Along with this inhalation, like a big bellows puffing and billowing, he instantly gathered his whole body's Qi into his abdominal cavity.
Immediately afterwards, a warm current was generated from the abdomen, using it as the source to produce a wondrous resonance rhythm.
Countless tiny air currents then diffused outward, spreading and wandering towards the internal organs and all the skeletons of the limbs.
Rumble— —
Resembling the low roar of tigers and leopards, and the ringing of thunder sounds.
Fang Cheng's inner Qi billowed, and his whole body's muscles, bones, pores, and apertures all vibrated together.
In a flash, the tightly closed pores suddenly opened, as if after a kettle boiled water, a foul breath was vented out from it along with a prolonged sound.
At the same time, it created a temporary balance of internal and external pressure difference, thereby dissolving part of the pressure.
Fang Cheng's whole body relaxed, like a sports car starting its engine, breathing out from his nostrils, his eyes shining like lamps.
Quickly kicking the ground for a run-up, with a swish, carrying a strong wind, he broke out of trouble.
Facing the enemies surging from ahead, he sprinted out with incomparable swiftness and fierceness.
Bang!
Bearing the brunt, a pursuer wearing a combat uniform had his sternum snap with a crack and was directly knocked flying away.
Then came another long-step flying kick, kicking the abdomen of another person.
With the momentum of this kick, Fang Cheng held the two people with both hands and rose into the air, instantly speeding up.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang— —
Shadows of legs were heavy, and he, who used continuous flying kicks, was like embodying an Incarnation of lightning in the dark night.
Constantly jumping and refracting in the crowd, producing a series of terrifying chain reactions, falling upon touch and flying upon contact.
Until the speed increased to more than 6 times, making people's vision unable to fully capture it.
There were two ability users blocking in front.
One person had just prepared to activate their ability when they were knocked unconscious by a fierce whip kick.
The surface of the other person's body showed a grayish-white color, as if having a rock-like strengthening ability, preparing to go head-to-head with him.
As a result, he was still heavily kicked flying away.
Tang Dayuan's eyes widened and his face was covered in sweat, discovering that his illusion seemed to have completely failed against the target.
Seeing that the opponent had already rushed in front of him, he instantly became resourceful out of panic, hurriedly turning his body sideways to let his fat body cling tightly to the alley wall.
Swish, a hurricane blew past in front of him.
Tang Dayuan let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling quite fortunate.
Fortunately, his Mental Energy was strong enough and his nerve reaction speed was fast enough, otherwise he would have suffered along with those guys.
At this moment, even Li Chengjun couldn't help looking at this scene in surprise.
That monster-like fellow could actually withstand several ability users, rampaging through the pursuer team, and even had spare capacity to bring along two burdens.
The fierceness of his strength and the speed of his movement were simply invincible.
At this time, although he had already reacted.
But in this fraction of a second of brief time, the target had long exceeded the controllable range of his ability.
Li Chengjun wanted to chase after them.
Suddenly, another loud "rumble" sound came.
Scaring the remaining pursuers into instinctively throwing themselves down and making defensive moves.
It turned out that before Fang Cheng took action, another dynamite pack with an extended fuse was finally ignited and exploded.
In the firelight and smoke, a monster-like figure was vaguely revealed.
He was seen kicking the wall twice in succession, using the force to bound onto the roof, and then with a few leaps and bounds, he took two living people and ran far away in a flash.
Leaving a group of people either in disarray in the wind or lying on the ground unable to move.
Li Chengjun had an agile figure and quickly chased out of the alley for a few steps.
In the end, he could only watch the dust and despair, watching the other party disappear into the night.
The groans of his subordinates continuously came from behind.
Li Chengjun's face was livid and somewhat distorted, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they creaked, showing towering anger.
If that fellow matched up with him one-on-one, he would clearly be at a disadvantage.
Yet this encounter caused him to lose so many personnel!
This is simply intolerable!
"Special Envoy, what should we do now?"
Tang Dayuan walked over with trepidation and asked in a low voice.
He glanced at those injured accomplices, secretly sighing that this operation had an unlucky start.
But at the same time, in his heart, there was also a little bit of secret joy.
Yet he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit on his face or in his tone, behaving very honestly and simply.
Hearing this, Li Chengjun also quickly calmed down and looked around at the scene.
The dynamite pack seemed to be used by fishermen for blowing up fish, and its power was not very large, only shattering the window glass of nearby houses and cracking a patch of bricks.
However, the impact caused was difficult to estimate.
Dog barks came one after another all around, along with faint human voices.
Nearby residents temporarily did not dare to come out to check the situation, but they were definitely peeping at the scene here secretly.
Clearly, things had blown up!
Li Chengjun immediately made a decision:
"No need to chase, they are not people of the Zhenxiang Society, let's evacuate this place quickly and change to another stronghold."
After saying this, he turned his head to look at the hedgehog man who had fainted and fallen first, and couldn't help venting his anger on him.
"Take this trash along as well; he will bear full responsibility for tonight's matter!"
The remaining pursuer team members quickly took action, some supporting the injured, and some cleaning up the scene.
Li Chengjun's gaze swept across his subordinates' condition, and he couldn't help letting out a soft breath.
Fortunately, the other party was just in a hurry to save people and run away, and the kicking force was not heavy.
And these pursuer team members had physical fitness far exceeding ordinary people, so there were not many who were seriously injured.
As long as they went back and got a shot of recovery serum, most of them should be able to maintain basic combat power within a few days.
Thinking of this, Li Chengjun took that slip of paper out of his windbreaker pocket.
Suddenly he felt some regret, why didn't he agree to the conditions proposed by the other party.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have provoked a monster of unknown origin whose physical fitness was comparable to those special experimental subjects.
