#220 - Ethan's death! Shocking the world
Zhao Zheng's punch was arguably the strongest he had ever thrown to date.
Moreover, because the Armament Haki imbued would create true damage, the destructive force of this punch was concentrated, acting entirely on the giant robot that Ethan had transformed into.
The destructive power was earth-shattering!
The giant robot, hundreds of meters tall and blotting out the sun, disintegrated instantly.
Countless iron blocks flew everywhere, falling like raindrops, scattering all over the ground.
Among these iron blocks, two figures flew out.
One was Ethan, and the other, naturally, was the black youth, James.
However.
James's strength was too weak. Although Ethan protected him very well, he still couldn't withstand the penetrating destructive force of the shock.
In that instant, he was shaken to death.
Zhao Zheng first came to James's side, as he was the primary target of his mission.
After discovering that the black ghost was completely dead, Zhao Zheng was still uneasy. He emitted heat rays from his eyes, cutting open the black ghost's corpse…
He hadn't used this move before because there hadn't been a suitable opportunity.
That glass room was all made of tempered glass. His heat rays weren't strong enough right now, and it would probably take two or three seconds to burn through.
Ethan had taken such a blow, yet he wasn't dead.
It could only be said that this guy was indeed a King-level expert, with amazing vitality.
Moreover, Zhao Zheng also discovered that this guy's injury recovery speed was very fast.
He was previously spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, looking like he was on the verge of death, but in the space of a few breaths, the bleeding had stopped, and his spirits had improved a lot.
"Self-healing ability?"
Zhao Zheng came to Ethan's front, looked down at him, and asked, "Which Spirit Realm did you get it from?"
At this moment, Ethan was staring intently at Zhao Zheng, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He seemed unable to understand why this Chen Ye would have such strong strength…
This question could be thought about later; right now, saving his life was the priority.
Ethan had no intention of answering Zhao Zheng's question, only gritting his teeth and saying, "I am an important figure in the Federation. If you kill me, it will cause disputes between the two countries and may even trigger a world war!"
Zhao Zheng only smiled at Ethan's threat, not taking it to heart at all.
A living Ethan was indeed a big shot.
But a dead Ethan had no value. The Federation's higher-ups were a bunch of vampires and would never go to war for a dead person.
Seeing that Ethan was unwilling to answer his question, Zhao Zheng said, "If this is your last words, then you can be on your way."
Ethan's face changed, and he still wanted to resist.
Zhao Zheng directly grabbed the other party's neck and pressed Ethan to the ground.
"I have no grievances with you. Originally, as long as you obediently handed over that black ghost, you wouldn't have to die. Unfortunately, you insisted on seeking death!"
After a pause, Zhao Zheng suddenly smiled again and said, "That's not right either. We still have a grudge between us…"
"I told you before that I had an important secret to tell you. That's true. The secret is that the murderer who killed your daughter is actually me!"
Hearing this.
Ethan, who was struggling, suddenly froze.
His daughter was a freshman in the previous class and died in the second layer of the Spirit Realm. How could it be related to this strong man in front of him?
Wait…
The ability this guy used just now had a powerful tremor force, and there was only one kind of talent that possessed this kind of powerful destructive power.
Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!
Zhao Zheng's previous behavior of spending a "high price" to buy the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was praised by countless people as a big fool, and this matter once made it to the trending searches.
Although Ethan had not heard of this matter, he had read Zhao Zheng's information and knew that this guy had eaten an "expired" Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Thinking of this.
Ethan suddenly widened his eyes!
"You, you are…"
"That's right, it's me!"
Zhao Zheng pointed to his glasses with a smile and said, "This thing is a transcendent item with a disguise function!"
At this moment, Ethan seemed to understand everything.
He finally knew why other Natural系 Devil Fruit users were relatively ordinary before elementalizing, but Song Haitang was so amazing!
It turned out that the real power was someone else.
The Kryptonian bloodline was not the useless talent that everyone thought it was.
However, Ethan was still not reconciled. He raised his hand, wanting to grab Zhao Zheng's glasses…
Unfortunately, Zhao Zheng did not give him a chance.
A white air shield quietly appeared.
The next moment!
Ethan's body suddenly shook, and all the bones and internal organs, as well as the brain, were instantly shattered, falling apart!
His self-healing ability was not as perverted as Wolverine's.
After suffering such a fatal blow, he instantly died completely…
…
Looking at Ethan's corpse, softly falling to the ground, Zhao Zheng heavily exhaled a breath.
The grievances between him and Ethan had a long history.
From the moment Ethan put a bounty on Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng had already written down Ethan's name in a small notebook.
Therefore, he revealed the truth before Ethan died.
Because he wanted Ethan to die with hatred.
In fact, Zhao Zheng did indeed do it.
Ethan was clearly dead, but his eyes were still wide open, obviously not resting in peace.
Seeing Ethan's appearance, Zhao Zheng finally let out a sigh of relief, and his heart was much clearer.
As for whether there were any eavesdropping devices or anything like that on Ethan's body?
No!
Ethan was a dignified King-level expert, and extremely sensitive to metal. Who would dare to install an eavesdropping device on him?
Install it himself?
That's even more impossible!
Taking a step back, even if there really was, it didn't matter.
Zhao Zheng's previous punch was enough to shatter all the instruments on Ethan's body!
Throwing Ethan's corpse on the ground, Zhao Zheng did not continue to stay, but chose to ascend.
However.
He did not fly away immediately.
Zhao Zheng in mid-air suddenly clenched his right fist and activated Armament Haki.
Afterwards, a scarlet light emerged from his right fist.
The red light became more and more intense, obviously charging up.
After a few breaths, Zhao Zheng's fist had become very dazzling, and the light bloomed.
Afterwards.
Zhao Zheng looked down and aimed at the Ethan Manor ruins, punching out…
Fist Bone · Impact!
"Boom!!!"
It was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated here.
A terrifying explosion appeared…
The firelight produced at that moment, like the sun, illuminated the world brightly!
Then, it was earth-shattering!
The terrifying shockwave, like an extreme natural disaster, destroyed everything here…
Zhao Zheng did not look again, but directly flew away.
The punch he made before leaving was naturally to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces of him left here.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Chen Ye's identity would be exposed, but that he didn't want to cause diplomatic entanglements.
As for why I used "Fist Bone · Impact" instead of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit" ability?
It's because using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability would easily attract the attention of the entire world to my true self...
......
Ethan's manor, although built in a remote area, is not in the wilderness.
Not far from Ethan's manor is a well-known major city in the Federal States.
The commotion from the battle between the two had already attracted the attention of the citizens in the city.
Especially Zhao Zheng's final punch, which directly attacked the ground, causing the entire earth to shake!
Citizens far away in the city could clearly feel the tremor!
"What's going on? What happened?"
"This kind of commotion... could it be that someone detonated a nuclear bomb nearby?"
"Sh*t! Could it be that the Eastern power has attacked?"
"I'm going to go see what's going on..."
......
Federal people are born with a love of adventure.
The huge battle commotion aroused the curiosity of many people, and immediately countless citizens, in groups, drove towards the direction of the roar.
Among these people, there was a figure that was extremely fast.
That was a middle-aged white woman!
She was the "Michelle" in Ethan's words.
I have to say, Zhao Zheng's luck was very good.
When Ethan called Michelle, she happened to be in a hotel in the city, relaxing with a few male lovers.
After all, Zhao Zheng came during the day, and neither of them thought that the Eastern power would send someone to assassinate James during the day...
Hearing the information from Ethan, Michelle believed that in Ethan's territory, Ethan could at least hold on for a long time.
So, she finished what she was doing before setting off...
By the time she arrived at the scene, it was already too late!
The original "Ethan Manor" had now become a sinkhole directly exceeding a kilometer in size.
It was even more exaggerated than a nuclear explosion!
Everything in the manor had been annihilated in the explosion, including James's body.
Only some solid metal could be found on the scene, and... half of Ethan's head.
This guy's skull was actually some kind of unknown metal, very hard, and survived the explosion.
Seeing this scene, Michelle's expression changed drastically, and her old face was very ugly!
Not long after.
The news here was transmitted to the Federal high-level.
Hearing that Ethan was killed in his own territory, the Federal high-level was shocked...
......
"Whoosh--"
Zhao Zheng's ears were constantly filled with the sound of rushing wind.
At this time, he had already flown over the Pacific Ocean and was flying rapidly towards the East.
While flying, he reviewed the battle just now.
Originally, he thought that he would need to activate the ultimate move "Undying Demon Body" to kill Ethan.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't necessary!
Ethan was weaker than he imagined.
It's not right to say that.
Ethan is very strong, his ability belongs to the strategic level, and in group battles, he definitely has unparalleled destructive power.
However, in a one-on-one fight, there is no advantage.
Even in his territory, he couldn't be Zhao Zheng's opponent now.
Therefore, Zhao Zheng did not become complacent because of killing Ethan, thinking that his current strength was invincible among the eighth-order powerhouses.
It is said that the top king-level powerhouses are all as strong as monsters!
In less than an hour.
Zhao Zheng flew back to the country.
He landed near Zhenwu University, restored his true appearance, and then swaggered back to school.
The time at this moment.
It's only three o'clock in the afternoon.
Song Haitang was training when she suddenly received a call from Zhao Zheng.
"Haitang, come out for coffee!"
For Zhao Zheng's invitation, the girl interrupted the training at the first time and walked towards the cafe on campus.
She is not a green tea b*tch who likes to play the tug-of-war game with men...
The two met in the cafe.
"Haitang, I have good news to tell you!" Zhao Zheng said mysteriously.
Hearing this, Song Haitang's heart moved, and she immediately asked: "Did you solve the black man named James?"
Zhao Zheng was stunned and said in surprise: "You can guess this?"
"When I was training before, I suddenly had a feeling, it was a feeling that I couldn't explain... Then, the training effect was enhanced a lot."
Song Haitang explained, and then frowned: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance before doing this kind of thing? It's too risky."
The starting point of her saying this was entirely out of concern for Zhao Zheng.
"Risky?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "My trip was actually very smooth!"
Song Haitang was very smart and immediately realized something, and asked in surprise: "Your strength can already defeat Ethan?"
Zhao Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Before in the eleventh level of the spirit realm, I came into contact with real sunshine, which helped me a lot and made my strength produce a qualitative leap!"
Song Haitang was amazed.
Ethan, that is a recognized king-level powerhouse!
Even if he is not the top king-level, his strength is like a god.
Zhao Zheng was able to defeat Ethan in Ethan's territory, and also killed James, and retreated unscathed?
Such strength is too amazing!
A year ago, Zhao Zheng was still a novice like her.
A year later, she, this "peerless genius", had just touched the threshold of the sixth order, and Zhao Zheng had already become a king-level powerhouse.
If this continues to develop.
The future Zhao Zheng will definitely become a legendary god-level powerhouse that no one can reach and is unprecedented!
Thinking of this, Song Haitang looked at Zhao Zheng with gentle eyes.
She is also a woman, and women admire the strong.
Zhao Zheng's excellence made her heart beat and admired him.
"You are so amazing!"
Song Haitang couldn't help but praise.
Faced with Song Haitang's admiring eyes, Zhao Zheng's heart immediately ignited an extremely satisfying sense of achievement.
It was far more satisfying than killing Ethan.
"Hehe! I'm in a good mood today, let's go shopping!"
"Okay... I'll go change my clothes."
......
That night.
The news spread to the country and quickly caused a national sensation!
The news about Ethan being killed quickly rushed to the top of the hot search list, and the popularity exploded, far exceeding the second place by dozens of times!
It seemed that everyone on the Internet was discussing this matter.
This is because Ethan is usually relatively high-profile, likes to hold parties and make friends with celebrities.
He is a veritable topic figure.
To put it bluntly, Ethan is the "super superstar" among the extraordinary!
He even endorsed a certain product...
How many other top extraordinary people are willing to do this?
Therefore, his death was like a network nuclear bomb being detonated, quickly shaking the entire network.
Not only is it the top search in China, but it is also the same abroad...
