#191 - A show of force? Fight as soon as we meet (edited)
Chapter 191: A Show of Force? Getting Straight to It (Revised)
The convoy stopped after noticing the abnormality of the lightning.
Director Zhang and the others exchanged glances, seeing surprise and apprehension in each other's eyes.
They knew that the Thunder God had arrived!
They had secretly contacted the Thunder God's shelter before, and after revealing Zhao Zheng's strength, it immediately attracted their attention.
Unexpectedly.
It directly attracted the Thunder God himself?
Presumably, the Thunder God was also afraid that a strongman like Zhao Zheng would cause havoc in the shelter, leading to irreparable losses, so he chose to come out proactively and intercept the convoy halfway.
At this moment.
All the survivors were watching the lightning rapidly approaching.
Including Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang.
Seeing the lightning, Song Haitang's pretty face showed surprise.
"His form… is very similar to elementalization!"
Saying that, the girl frowned slightly.
Among the Devil Fruits of the Natural type, those capable of elementalization are very strong.
"It's a bit like it," Zhao Zheng nodded, his expression calm: "No wonder he can become one of the strongest ability users, his strength is indeed good."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the convoy.
Afterward, the lightning dissipated, revealing a burly figure.
It was a middle-aged man, looking to be in his thirties, very tall, wearing a black coat, with rugged features and an astonishing aura.
The most striking thing was the middle-aged man's eyes!
His eyes were no longer human-like, but rather composed of lightning, emitting light.
Looking at those eyes, one felt a strong sense of oppression.
No need to ask, this person must be the "Thunder God"!
One of the strongest ability users!
Thunder God was a nickname given to him by others, his real name was "Chen Wu", and he was also a soldier.
Seeing the survivors in the convoy looking nervous, Chen Wu immediately said loudly:
"Everyone, don't be nervous, I am the director of the Hancheng Shelter, and I represent the Hancheng Shelter in welcoming you."
Hearing this.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a happy expression.
The Thunder God personally came out to welcome them, which undoubtedly made them feel valued. In addition, with the Thunder God leading the way, the road ahead would definitely be safer.
"Leave it to me!"
Zhao Zheng smiled slightly at Song Haitang, then jumped out of the RV and came to face Chen Wu.
"I am Zhao Zheng, temporarily serving as the leader of the convoy."
Seeing that Zhao Zheng was so young, Chen Wu was a little surprised.
"You are Zhao Zheng? I heard that you are very strong?"
"Who did you hear that from?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.
Chen Wu did not answer, but said: "I like sparring with strong people the most. It's still early, why don't we spar first, and then go to the shelter?"
Good heavens!
He wants to fight right away.
Chen Wu must be guessing whether Zhao Zheng came for his shelter, so he wants to give a show of force first, to subdue Zhao Zheng?
At this time, Zhao Zheng could actually explain that he was just escorting these people to the shelter and would leave afterward.
As long as he was willing to explain, he could probably avoid a conflict.
However, a forced explanation would only make Zhao Zheng seem afraid, thus losing the initiative.
Besides, Zhao Zheng's hands were also a little itchy…
"Alright!"
Zhao Zheng agreed readily.
Chen Wu immediately narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile: "Change the location?"
"Sure!" Zhao Zheng turned his head and told everyone: "You guys wait here for a while."
What could the survivors say?
They didn't dare to say anything.
In fact, they were all a little confused at the moment, not understanding why the two big shots had to fight as soon as they met?
"Follow me!"
Chen Wu shouted, directly transforming into lightning and flying towards the wilderness.
This guy's flying speed is very fast!
Based on such a flying speed, the rumor that he escaped from the hands of the anomalies must be true.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng revealed a smile, and then slowly ascended into the air.
The next moment!
"Boom!!!!"
A terrifying sonic boom exploded in everyone's ears.
Zhao Zheng's figure quickly cut through the void like a meteor, flying out.
Around his body, a large amount of air waves appeared, swirling around him.
Anyone with a little common sense knew that it was the sonic boom phenomenon that occurred after the object's flying speed in the atmosphere exceeded the speed of sound.
In the blink of an eye, they could no longer see Zhao Zheng.
Only at this moment.
Did the survivors realize how terrifying Zhao Zheng's flying speed was!
"This, this… is he still human?"
One of the survivors couldn't help but say.
…
Seeing Zhao Zheng quickly catching up, Chen Wu's face showed a surprised expression.
Flying!
Was his most proud ability!
Among all the ability users who could fly, he was definitely the fastest, after all, he could transform into lightning and travel quickly.
Unexpectedly, this young man actually possessed such a terrifying flying speed, easily catching up to him…
When did such a strongman appear in the world?
How come he didn't know?
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Chen Wu quickly landed.
Zhao Zheng also followed closely behind, landing in front of him.
"Let's do it here! It's far enough away from the city," Chen Wu said.
Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile: "Okay."
"Guests first, you go first," Chen Wu said.
"Alright!"
Zhao Zheng clenched his fist and reminded: "My fists are a bit heavy, you have to be careful. If you can't take it, remember to tell me in time."
Hearing this.
Chen Wu wanted to laugh a little.
He could transform into lightning, almost immune to most physical attacks. It was uncertain whether Zhao Zheng could even hit him!
Suddenly!
With a "buzz", Chen Wu saw that Zhao Zheng's fist had turned into a dark metallic color, and a large amount of red lightning was wrapped around his body, looking extremely frightening.
That was the most advanced Armament Haki!
Seeing this scene, Chen Wu's heart suddenly had a bad premonition…
Afterward.
He saw that a huge white aura罩 appeared on the young man's fist.
What kind of ability was this?
The next moment!
The young man opposite punched out!
"Boom crack!"
An indescribable cracking sound appeared between heaven and earth.
Chen Wu suddenly widened his eyes!
Because he saw the void shattering, and heaven and earth reversing!
At this moment.
It was as if the sky was falling!
The earth cracked, and the earth shook!
It seemed that the whole world was trembling.
When the terrifying tremor power was transmitted to Chen Wu, Chen Wu suddenly widened his eyes.
He felt a deadly danger!!
"Not good!"
Chen Wu roared, his entire body instantly beginning to blur, turning into a bolt of lightning, trying to escape this collapsing world.
Although his movements were fast enough, it was still a step too late…
【Armament Haki: Has a certain restraining effect on Devil Fruit ability users and non-physical energy enemies!】
This is the additional effect of Armament Haki.
In other words, even if Chen Wu wasn't a Devil Fruit user, Armament Haki would still be effective against him.
Zhao Zheng's punch was true damage to Chen Wu!
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a large amount of blood splattered in the air.
Then, Chen Wu's body materialized from its lightning element form and appeared in mid-air.
Zhao Zheng's punch had directly knocked him back to his original form!
At this moment, Chen Wu was covered in blood and had already lost consciousness, falling from the sky…
At such a high altitude, if he fell to the ground, he would likely be killed.
The ground was still shaking, with large cracks appearing everywhere.
If Zhao Zheng didn't intervene, Chen Wu would fall into the cracks and be swallowed by the earth, undoubtedly leading to his death…
"Whoosh!"
The sound of rushing air rang out.
Zhao Zheng had quickly flown over and grabbed Chen Wu.
Looking at the unconscious Chen Wu, Zhao Zheng frowned.
He really didn't expect this guy to be so fragile, knocked out with a single punch.
Moreover, Zhao Zheng had thrown that punch from a distance, with at least two or three hundred meters between them, giving Chen Wu plenty of time to react.
Zhao Zheng had deliberately kept his distance.
After all, this was a friendly exchange, and Zhao Zheng didn't want to kill anyone.
If he had punched him up close, this "Thunder God" would probably have been reduced to dust.
But even so, his punch still inflicted indescribable damage on Chen Wu!
At this moment, Chen Wu was not only unconscious, but his breathing was also very weak, probably on the verge of death…
"What a hassle! If I had known you were so fragile, I would have held back a little."
"Honestly, how dare you ask me to make the first move in your condition? Why act tough when you're not strong enough?"
Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, then grabbed the unconscious Chen Wu and quickly flew towards the convoy…
…
Meanwhile.
On the convoy side, everyone was anxiously waiting.
The survivors vaguely understood that the outcome of this battle might have a significant impact on their subsequent entry into the shelter.
"I wonder who will win in the friendly exchange between the two big shots?"
"It's hard to say! After all, Chief Chen is a well-known top expert. The name Thunder God wasn't self-proclaimed."
"I'm still betting on the captain's friend. He's just too strong!"
"Alas! Why did they have to fight? When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured!"
"I think Chief Chen heard that there was an expert in our convoy and was afraid he was after the shelter's management rights, so he took the initiative to come and give us a warning!"
"Your analysis is correct. That's probably it."
"So that's how it is? No wonder he wanted to spar as soon as we met. He planned to subdue the expert on our side, making it easier to control us when we get to the shelter?"
"It's a pity we can't witness their battle in person. What a pity."
"Pity? Heh heh! Do you believe that the aftershock of those two big shots' battle could kill you without a burial place?"
"I wonder how long they'll be fighting…"
"I hope they don't fight for three days and three nights before a winner is decided!"
…
The discussions had just reached this point.
Suddenly.
Everyone saw a figure quickly flying back and landing directly into the RV through the sunroof.
Everyone was dumbfounded…
"What's going on? Who was that who just flew back? I didn't see clearly…"
"It's the captain's friend!"
"Ah? He's back so soon?"
"He's carrying someone, it looks like Chief Chen?"
"What? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It's true! I saw it too…"
"No way! Both of them are top experts, shouldn't they be fighting for three days and three nights? How could it be so fast…"
…
At this moment.
Inside the RV.
Seeing Zhao Zheng suddenly fly back, everyone was startled.
When they saw Chen Dalei, the Thunder God, in Zhao Zheng's hands, covered in blood and unconscious, Han Minna and the others were even more shocked.
Even Song Haitang couldn't react for a moment…
"Don't be stunned!" Zhao Zheng said, "He's seriously injured, Yingying, come quickly and help him heal!"
If Chen Wu died here, it would be troublesome.
The entire Hancheng Shelter would probably be thrown into turmoil.
For Zhao Zheng, this was just a minor inconvenience.
But for the survivors, the Hancheng Shelter, also known as the Thunder God Shelter, was the last pure land they yearned for!
Once the Hancheng Shelter couldn't be maintained, countless people would commit suicide out of despair.
Although the death of survivors wouldn't affect Zhao Zheng's mission, Zhao Zheng didn't want to see so many people die because of his momentary carelessness…
Hearing Zhao Zheng's command.
The young Han Yingying quickly came to Chen Wu's side, then placed her small hands on Chen Wu's body, emitting a gentle light.
Instantly!
Chen Wu's mouth stopped bleeding…
Han Yingying seemed to truly have the destiny of the chosen one, with remarkable talent.
In these ten days, she had actually absorbed two zombie crystals, making astonishing progress in strength.
Normally, a regular ability user could only absorb one zombie crystal per month, and more would cause poisoning.
Those with poor talent would take several months to digest one…
This showed how remarkable Han Yingying was.
In fact, yesterday, she had healed Han Minna's severed arm, allowing it to regenerate!
Also starting yesterday, Han Yingying officially appeared as a "healer."
Everyone in the convoy knew that Han Lao San's daughter had awakened a very powerful "healing" ability.
Many people were very envious.
As for Han Yingying's ability to make plants grow, it was, of course, still being concealed…
…
Although Han Yingying's healing ability was strong now.
However, Chen Wu's injuries were a bit too severe…
Under Han Yingying's full-force healing, a full half hour passed, and he still showed no signs of waking up!
Instead, Han Yingying was exhausted, severely drained, and her little face turned pale.
"Yingying, stop for now and rest for a while."
Song Haitang immediately stopped her, saying, "His vital signs are stable now, you can heal him later."
The girl was observant and had long noticed that the little girl was exhausted, but she didn't dare to say it.
After all, Zhao Zheng was deeply respected, and no one in the convoy dared to disobey his orders.
Hearing Song Haitang's words, Zhao Zheng, who had been paying attention to Chen Wu, noticed that the little girl was almost exhausted and immediately said, "Yes, stop and rest for a while."
Only then did Han Yingying dare to let go, staggering a few steps and almost falling.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng immediately took out food and water and said, "Eat something and rest for a while."
The little girl didn't dare to refuse, carefully taking it with joy in her eyes.
She was indeed hungry and thirsty now.
Zhao Zheng's gaze turned to Chen Wu again, seeing that the guy's breathing was stable and his heartbeat was strong, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What a weak and fragile "God"!
