410: Chapter 410 Fist against Domain, Storm against Golden Bell Shield

Inside the computer room, the breathing of Officer Zhou Liang and the others became light.

As seasoned members of the Special Investigation Team, they were not shaken in the slightest by the clamoring of Station Chief Feng Jincai.

With their fingers resting on the triggers and their gazes piercing through the sights, they firmly locked onto the most threatening figure opposite them.

Cheng Jiashu's line of sight shifted back and forth between Minister Luo Lie and Fang Cheng.

As top-tier ability users themselves, he could clearly sniff out the aura of their own kind emanating from these two men.

That dangerous scent mixed with power and destruction.

He immediately lowered his voice and quietly reminded:

"Cousin, the guy surnamed Luo is a psychokinetic controller, and his strength is extremely formidable."

"He is covered with a layer of psychokinetic defense shield, just like a turtle shell. My attacks are useless against him. Later, the two of us will cooperate and do this first..."

Cheng Jiashu quickly formulated the battle strategy.

However, "Cousin" acted as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Click—

Fang Cheng continued to tilt his head to one side, exercising his neck.

The amplitude was so large that it felt as if he was going to twist his own neck off.

Afterwards, he clasped his hands into fists and slowly stretched his shoulders, back, and chest backward.

Then a series of crisp, popping sounds erupted.

He stretched his body on his own, seemingly warming up for this battle.

Crack! Snap!

This sound appeared exceptionally harsh in the dead-silent floor, completely unlike the sound made by human joints moving.

It sounded more like a dormant Vicious Beast stretching its limbs before preying on its target, baring its fatal claws and fangs.

Every single explosion-like sound felt like a heavy hammer, striking fiercely at the hearts of everyone present.

Minister Luo Lie's eyes narrowed, and the arms he had originally crossed in front of his chest subconsciously dropped down.

Seeing that a great battle was on the verge of breaking out, Choi Suyoung and the security guards caught up in this slaughter felt their hearts beating wildly in their chests, almost about to burst through their throats.

In this nearly congealed air, every second felt as long as a century.

Everyone's nerves were strained to the limit, waiting only for a single spark to detonate the entire top-floor area.

When the last popping sound fell.

The man, who had finally finished warming up, slowly raised his hands and assumed a standard Boxing fighting stance.

"Leave the others to you all."

Fang Cheng looked straight ahead, his voice ringing out calmly as he spoke to Cheng Jiashu beside him:

"This Minister Luo is an old friend of mine, and I must personally take care of him."

Cheng Jiashu was slightly stunned.

Minister Luo Lie on the opposite side heard these words, the corners of his mouth curving into a cruel arc:

"Since you are in such a hurry to seek death, I will show mercy and send you on your way."

The corners of Fang Cheng's mouth behind his mask also curled up accordingly:

"Good, then let's make it a quick battle!"

Before his voice faded, the calmness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a scorching Battle Intent!

Bam!

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the concrete floor beneath Fang Cheng's feet suddenly caved in, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions.

His entire person transformed into a blurred black shadow, instantly spanning dozens of meters at a speed completely uncapturable by the naked eye!

Minister Luo Lie's pupils shrank violently.

He only had time to perceive an irresistible, colossal force rushing toward his face, and didn't even have time to mobilize his psychokinesis to repel the target.

A fist with skin swollen and flushed red rapidly magnified in his vision, impressively stamping heavily onto his chest.

Bang!

At that instant, Minister Luo Lie felt as if he had been hit head-on by a cannonball fired from a barrel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Minister Luo Lie's entire body instantly transformed into a humanoid cannonball, flying backward in a crushing and decaying posture.

The partition walls of the office space were pierced through layer after layer.

The steel bars were snapped by brute force, and concrete fragments splattered in all directions.

Leaving behind pitch-black holes with rough edges one after another, extending straight into the depths of the building.

Boom—

Finally transforming into a muffled, loud crash, as if an object smashed down heavily.

In the corridor, the gray mist retreated, dust floated, and there was a death-like silence everywhere.

The guards and pursuers of the Noah Organization had slightly trembling hands gripping their guns.

The gun muzzles were still aimed at the man wearing the ogre mask, their fingers tightly clenching the triggers.

Yet no matter what, they couldn't press them down.

They had no doubt that once they opened fire, before the bullets even hit the target, people like them would be torn into pieces by those Iron Fists.

A bone-chilling chill rose in everyone's hearts, fearing that the next target of this humanoid Tyrannosaurus would be themselves.

Station Chief Feng Jincai's smile completely froze, replaced by incredulous astonishment.

The script wasn't written like this!

According to Jia Sangyi's plan, these two should have engaged in a fierce battle and fought for a long time.

Thus striving for more time for Jia Sangyi to extract the power of the crimson eye!

What is going on?

The strongest combat power of the Dongdu Branch, an S-rank expert from the Board of Directors, was defeated by the opponent in just one exchange like this?

Xu Hao's mouth was even wider open, his eyes rounded.

That seemingly invincible Minister Luo was actually blown flying by his own boss with a single punch???

Thinking he had already overestimated the boss's strength, looking at it now, he was still too naive.

Immediately, an incomparable excitement surged into his heart.

Damn it, if he had known the boss would win so easily, what on earth was he worrying about just now?

Xu Hao stared at Fang Cheng's back, more and more fascinated the more he looked.

Since the boss is so strong, following him means my future will be infinitely bright!

Cheng Jiashu and the rest of the Special Investigation Team members were likewise filled with shock.

They had never thought that the pure strength and speed of a human body could reach such a terrifying realm.

Fang Cheng slowly walked to the first ruins opening, his gaze penetrating those bottomless black holes.

The muscles throughout his body remained taut like a bowstring, without a single shred of slackness.

In his perception, Minister Luo Lie's aura, although much weaker, had not completely disappeared.

Fang Cheng was very clear that the effect of the blow just now was mainly caused by a sneak attack.

While talking with Minister Luo Lie, he deliberately put on an unhurried appearance, but quietly activated the Qilin Arm, charging up for a full five seconds.

With 58 points of attribute arm strength, under a fivefold amplification, it instantly erupted with terrifying destructive power.

Coupled with the ultimate speed brought by 60 points of agility, such an all-out strike created such an earth-shattering effect.

Right at this moment, Fang Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

A wisp of breeze blew out from the deep hole, gently stirring his eyebrows and the corners of his clothes.

Following closely, the wind momentum grew larger and larger, carrying a bone-piercing chill.

The air seemed to be rippling with tiny waves.

Xu Hao seemed to have thought of something, his expression drastically changing as he immediately shouted hoarsely:

"Dodge quickly!"

He only had time to shout this single sound before it was submerged in the suddenly erupted howling of violent winds.

An indescribably terrifying storm swept out from the depths of the hole.

The wind was mixed with countless cold lights indistinguishable to the naked eye, resembling tens of thousands of invisible razor blades.

The hard floor tiles were easily shaved off by a layer, and the walls were instantly covered with crisscrossing deep scratches.

The metal pipes and wiring on the ceiling were chopped into pieces all over the sky, dropping down with crackling sounds.

Everyone disheveledly searched for cover, the wind pressure being so strong that it made them almost unable to stand steadily.

Station Chief Feng Jincai was terrified to the extreme in his heart.

How come Minister Luo Lie's control over the Domain power this time is not as precise as before? The aftermath is actually so intense!

Could it be that the punch just now caused him severe injuries?

But the power of the storm is still fatal!

If they aren't careful, I'm afraid even their own people will be sucked in and torn into pieces.

Bearing the brunt, Fang Cheng quickly retreated in rapid steps.

Yet his back bumped into a wall.

No!

Fang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

That was definitely not any wall with a substantial form.

Because behind him was empty, it was simply a corridor.

Fang Cheng instantly perceived that the space around his body seemed to have been tampered with.

As if forming a narrow and long cage, trapping him tightly here.

And right in front of him was that surging storm filled with a destructive aura.

Placed at the eye of the wind, there was nowhere left to retreat!

Fang Cheng's expression remained unchanged as his feet suddenly sank, settling into a stable horse-riding stance.

He no longer dodged, but rapidly circulated Qigong.

Azure True Qi surged out from the Dantian like a tidal wave, instantly covering his whole body and forming a layer of lustrous protective shield.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The next second, countless cold lights densely impacted against the True Qi protective shield, emitting bursts of metallic clashing sounds.

Even the surrounding walls saw sparks flying everywhere.

This was precisely the activation of the station-post special effect of Evergreen Unfalling.

Under a three-hundred-percent amplification, 50 points of Physique attribute had a defense effect comparable to 200 points of Physique.

It was simply the legendary Golden Bell Shield.

Most of the attacks were blocked by this tough protective shield, but a small minority of extremely sharp forces still penetrated through.

Fang Cheng's clothes were instantly slashed apart, and several bloody scars appeared on his bare muscles.

Fortunately, the True Qi of the Water Breathing technique was dense and unceasing, carrying healing characteristics.

As soon as the wounds appeared, under the circulation of True Qi, they rapidly healed and scabbed over.

Fang Cheng's eyes behind his mask narrowed slightly, bearing the massive pressure as he carefully observed those cold lights mixed in the wind.

Vaguely, he could feel that it was like an extremely minute spatial fluctuation, with every flash being as sharp as a blade Qi.

Afterward, Fang Cheng quickly discovered the flaw.

The appearance of these blade radiances looked completely regular-less, chaotic, and random.

Like a real storm, it could neither be harnessed nor could its landing point be predicted.

Fang Cheng's eyes lit up.

The opponent seemed to have no way to more precisely control them.

Otherwise, as long as these attacks were allowed to continuously impact the exact same point.

Even with his protective Qigong, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out against it.

The storm came quickly and left quickly as well.

After a mere few seconds, the raging violent wind abruptly ceased.

If not for the devastated scene all around reminding everyone, it was as if nothing had ever happened here.

"You actually... are still not dead!"

A slightly surprised voice rang out, and a figure then slowly walked out from the hole.

Minister Luo Lie covered his continuously bleeding forehead, his face as pale as paper.

The suit on his chest was completely tattered, revealing a sunken fist print with the surrounding flesh and skin scorched black.

The power of that punch just now exceeded his expectations.

Had it not been for the psychokinetic outer garment serving as the first layer of cushioning.

Plus the fact that he had already deployed his Domain in advance, intending to scheme against the other party, which happened to play a certain barrier defense effect.

Otherwise, he would have truly been blown apart by a mere fist.

Even so, he suffered not-so-light internal injuries.

That terrifying impact force comparable to a head-on collision by a high-speed train had solidly sent him flying, smashing through several layers of walls.

The severe pain stimulated his nerves, but it was far inferior to the panic in his heart at this moment.

Looking at the safe and sound Fang Cheng, Minister Luo Lie produced a feeling of shock for the first time in his heart.

The large-scale lethal Move executed just now was precisely one of the Domain capabilities he had mastered: Thousand-Blade Storm.

This was not simply manipulating wind, but the manifestation of the S-rank spatial manipulation ability he comprehended after pushing his Peak A-rank psychokinesis to the limit.

From the object manipulation of the Elementary stage to the energy interference of the Advanced stage, and then breaking through the Bottleneck, producing a fundamental cognitive revolution.

For this, he had spent a full fifteen years of time.

By chance, Minister Luo Lie gained inspiration during a life-and-death battle with a top wind-attribute ability user.

After that battle, he headed to various parts of the world, searching for the most extreme places closest to the Origin of the wind.

He had once climbed to the Peak of Mount Everest, sitting quietly in the thin air for several months, just to feel the pulse of the wind.

He had also walked on foot across the Antarctic continent where wind speeds could reach a hundred meters per second, forcibly enduring the bitter cold of minus tens of degrees, comprehending the fury of the wind.

Having experienced countless brushes with the edge of life and death, he finally saw through the surface appearance.

The essence of wind is actually the flow of matter, and the root of the flow lies in space itself.

This Epiphany allowed Minister Luo Lie to finally step across this natural chasm isolating Mortals from mythology, mastering his very own Domain — Absolute Boundary Wind Domain.

The principle of Absolute Boundary Wind Domain was to use highly condensed psychokinesis within a designated area, applying opposite extreme pulling forces on countless microscopic coordinate points to forcibly tear space.

These miniature spatial rifts would instantly annihilate under the self-repair of the world's rules, and their own destructive power was weak enough to be negligible.

But at the very instant of closing, the spatial gaps would crazily suck in and squeeze the surrounding matter and energy, then spray them back out.

In this way, high-energy particle streams with astonishing destructive power could be formed.

When tens of thousands of such particle streams converged together, they formed the indestructible Gale.

It's just that, with his current Mental Energy, he still couldn't precisely define the position where each rift was generated and annihilated.

Moreover, the more spatial gaps he controlled, the greater the consumption of his spirit would be.

The simplest and most effective method was to restrict these randomly generated rifts within a single area, forming a chaotic cutting storm.

Which was the so-called Domain.

Just now, in order to achieve a one-hit kill, he had almost pushed his Mental Energy to the limit, causing part of the Domain power to lose control and leak outward, affecting even Station Chief Feng Jincai and the others.

Minister Luo Lie rubbed his stinging forehead, looking at Fang Cheng who was practicing station-post Qigong.

Fang Cheng was also secretly calming his surging blood qi.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding that the Moves both parties used just now were by no means conventional.

They were both ruthless people, employing their bottom-of-the-box lethal Moves right at the start, both holding the intention of instantly killing the other party.

Seeing Minister Luo Lie in this state, Fang Cheng knew the other party had massive consumption and naturally wouldn't be polite.

Take advantage of his illness to take his life!

He immediately stood up, kicked off the ground, transformed into a residual shadow once more, and actively closed in.

This time, Fang Cheng did not use the Qilin Arm which required charging, but instead pushed various combat skills to the absolute limit.

Boxing combination punches, Sanda whipping kicks, Muay Thai elbow strikes and knee strikes poured toward Minister Luo Lie like a violent storm.

Relying on the amplification of his physical qualities by the psychokinetic outer garment, Minister Luo Lie forcibly mustered his spirit to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Fang Cheng.

At the same time, his psychokinetic manipulation technique was quietly activated.

The gravel and steel bars on the ground were grabbed by invisible forces, shooting toward Fang Cheng from various tricky angles.

Relying on extraordinary perception and agile skills, Fang Cheng easily dodged the projectiles flying in from all directions.

Minister Luo Lie did not hope to kill Fang Cheng in this manner.

His purpose was only to stall for a few minutes and recover his Mental Energy as quickly as possible.

Then, execute the lethal Move once again!
