35: Chapter 35 One Punch

"No!"

Zhuang Xiuming's eyes were wide with rage as he let out a roar.

The force of Hansen Cornell's incoming punch generated a wind that made him feel suffocated.

The strength of this punch was far beyond anything even professional boxers could achieve.

Zhuang Xiuming twisted his body with all his might, intending to throw himself toward Mi Liang on the side to block the punch for him.

He could not bear to watch his brothers and sisters get hurt before his eyes.

However.

This twist allowed him to witness a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A slender figure, surrounded by a faint, five-colored halo, was flashing toward them at incredible speed.

That's right.

It was a flash.

A series of afterimages appeared like individual frames of a film.

A distance of fifty meters was crossed in the blink of an eye.

That was not all.

The figure suddenly clenched a fist and struck out.

Boom!

The entire air vibrated because of it.

Zhuang Xiuming swore he could even see ripples in the air.

The next moment.

Boom!!!

A massive gust of wind roared past.

Hansen Cornell, who had been standing in the middle, vanished in an instant.

He was sent flying five meters away by the punch.

Pfft!

Hansen Cornell spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was injured.

Ji Yebai's punch was incredibly heavy.

But this was not the root cause of him spitting blood.

Ji Yebai's speed was too fast, and since Hansen Cornell had already committed to his attack, he was forced to abruptly retract his power and switch from offense to defense to avoid taking the punch head-on for nothing.

The force of that instantaneous reversal was so great that he suffered internal injuries directly.

"Damn you!!!"

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Hansen Cornell flew into a rage.

Since he had become powerful, he had never felt this humiliated.

For a moment, Hansen Cornell's eyes were bloodshot, and his crimson pupils were filled with cruelty.

Ji Yebai watched this scene and waved his hand lightly.

Zhuang Xiuming and the others retreated tactfully.

"Who are you!?"

Hansen Cornell roared, his rage threatening to burn away his sanity.

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know!"

Ji Yebai said indifferently.

He looked at Hansen Cornell with interest.

At this moment, under the stimulation of his fury, Hansen Cornell's height showed signs of surging again, and his muscles seemed engorged with blood, with black veins twisting across his body.

It was extremely terrifying.

But this was not what caught Ji Yebai's attention.

He was focused on Hansen Cornell's eyes.

His massive eyeballs were glowing with a crimson hue, filled with cruelty and rage.

Within his pupils, it was as if massive flames were burning, threatening to scorch anyone who looked.

"This is the drawback of being a Mutant!"

Mutants evolve due to the spiritual energy within the flesh and blood of Vicious Beasts, and as a result, they are influenced by the aura of Vicious Beasts.

Under normal circumstances, they can maintain their composure.

But once provoked, it becomes extremely easy for them to lose control.

They become enraged and may even lose their sanity.

They are like a group of berserkers; the more they are provoked, the more violent they become.

"Roar!"

"What kind of look is that!?"

"How dare you look at me like that!?"

Ji Yebai's gaze, as if he were examining an animal, completely infuriated Hansen Cornell.

With a roar, he transformed into a black blur and lunged straight at him.

"I'm going to tear you apart!!!"

In his fury, Hansen Cornell's speed increased once more.

He was like a cannonball fired from its chamber, rushing forward with immense power.

Five meters of distance.

In less than a single breath, it was crossed in an instant.

The hurricane force piercing through the air sent leaves scattering everywhere.

Although Ji Yebai had forced him to switch from offense to defense right after appearing.

And even made him spit blood.

However.

Hansen Cornell did not feel that he couldn't beat him.

Spitting blood was only because he had forcibly reversed his power, and his internal organs couldn't handle the sudden strain.

And that wasn't all.

Ji Yebai had a slender figure and weak muscles.

He was nothing like the members of the Freemasonry or himself, who were muscular and massive.

With such a weakling's physique, even if he had some strength, he couldn't possibly compare to him.

Thinking this, Hansen Cornell relaxed his mind and was completely ignited by fury.

Even a weakling like this dares to interfere in my business; I'm going to tear you apart!!!

His iron-pot-sized fist instantly smashed toward Ji Yebai.

The force of it was enough to smash through a three-centimeter steel plate.

"All force and no technique!"

Feeling the punch, Ji Yebai shook his head slightly.

In his previous life, although Mutant Warriors had no chance of advancing to First-class, they still possessed martial arts.

Their strikes and kicks were fierce.

It could be said that Mutant Warriors proficient in martial arts were experts among their peers.

Immense strength combined with exquisite control presented an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

There were even rumors that the top-tier Mutants could rival weaker First-Class Martial Artists.

A First-Class Martial Artist is still a First-Class Martial Artist; even if they are on the weaker side, they are still peers in that rank.

Therefore.

It is conceivable that the strength of Mutants is also very formidable.

The Hansen Cornell before him had a very powerful punch, with force no less than three tons.

But there was absolutely no technique to it.

He was just flailing his fist with brute force.

Shaking his head slightly, he struck out with a punch of his own.

Everything happened in a flash, in an extremely short amount of time.

Zhuang Xiuming and the others, who had retreated to the side, did not even dare to blink.

They were afraid that if they blinked, they would miss everything.

Boom!!!

The two fists collided.

A ring of shockwaves exploded outward.

Seeing this, Hansen Cornell's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Even the sanity that had been burning in his fury became clear.

"Impossible!!!"

"This is impossible!!!"

Hansen Cornell looked at this scene in disbelief.

His full-force strike, enough to smash through a steel plate, had actually been blocked by this little weakling in front of him.

How could he possibly block it!?

He couldn't possibly block it!!!

"Ah!!!"

Hansen Cornell went mad.

He clenched both fists and hammered them fiercely toward Ji Yebai.

This punch came from above.

It smashed down like an iron hammer.

"Sigh!"

Ji Yebai sighed softly.

He only wanted to subdue this person.

He didn't want to hurt anyone.

After all, this is still a society governed by law.

Human life is paramount.

Even if it were a foreigner, he didn't want to take a life.

To avoid causing trouble for himself.

But looking at this person's stance, he feared that he wouldn't stop until he was laid out.

This is also a drawback of Mutants in the early stages.

"Since that's the case, then lie down!"

Ji Yebai's Internal Energy surged forth, and his left hand rose to meet the attack.

He steadily caught Hansen Cornell's enraged hammer-like fist.

Clenching his right fist, he gathered his Five Elements Power and struck toward Hansen Cornell's abdomen.

This punch.

In the eyes of Zhuang Xiuming and the others standing by, it looked like an old grandfather practicing tai chi in the plaza.

It was slow and leisurely.

But for Hansen Cornell.

It was not so pleasant.

The fist was not big.

The power was not great either.

But what made Hansen Cornell feel despair was that several types of forces surged from the fist.

In an instant, he felt as if a grenade had been shoved into his internal organs.

And detonated.

"You..."

"Pfft!"

Before Hansen Cornell could finish his sentence, he sprayed a mist of blood into the air and collapsed to the ground.
