CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 283: SUPER GATLING FIST (1/2)

Fang Cheng stared intently.

Moonlight pierced through the gaps in the dark clouds, outlining the inhuman silhouette on the slope.

His figure was far taller and more robust than an ordinary person, at first glance resembling a male with extremely muscular build.

But upon close inspection, it was filled with bizarre horror.

Covering his entire body, rather than skin, it was a layer of living, dark red and pitch-black interwoven, sinister armor.

The "muscles" of his limbs were abnormally prominent, presenting twisted fibrous bundles, resembling countless tightly wound steel bars.

In the moonlight, one could even see the faint writhing beneath its surface, containing explosive power.

The joints flickered with a dim sheen, where sharp bone spurs had grown out.

His head was completely enclosed, akin to an insect’s helmet, with two thick horns protruding from the forehead.

The entire armor surface was covered with peculiar bone spurs, shells, and structures resembling tendons, the lines full of aggression and power.

Just standing there quietly made the surrounding darkness become thick and oppressive!

As if a monster crawled out of the Abyss, exuding a cold and cruel intimidating aura from the essence of life.

"Special Search Team handling a case, identify yourself immediately."

The creature called "Chief Gao" spoke, his voice cold and harsh:

"Assaulting law enforcement, obstructing special operations, this has already violated Article 7 of the Special Affairs Law, constituting a major criminal offense."

Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly behind his mask.

Knowing that this matter wouldn’t end well, he deliberately lowered his voice to speak:

"What is the Special Search Team, I don’t know, can the officer introduce me?"

"Fine."

Chief Gao’s response was simple and direct, with a hint of icy killing intent.

Before the words were fully spoken, the sinister armor on his chest wriggled and split open like a living creature, revealing a crystal core embedded within, resembling a vertical pupil.

The core suddenly shone with a glaring red light, and the next instant——

Whoosh!

An extremely concentrated dark red beam shot out like high-energy rays, tearing through the air, straight for Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng’s pupils contracted, almost instinctively exploding with maximum speed, sidestepping several meters the moment the beam appeared.

The dark red beam grazed past his side, shooting into the muddy ground behind, leaving a scorched pit, emitting a pungent energy burning smell.

Though the attack missed, the figure standing on the road had already moved.

His legs suddenly kicked, the dirt beneath exploded instantly, and his massive body erupted with agility and speed completely inconsistent with his size, like a dark red meteor, leaping down the slope, roaring, crashing toward Fang Cheng.

In mid-air, the right arm covered with sinister armor swung sharply, the armor at the arm’s end rapidly transforming and extending, vibrating at a high speed.

It formed into a nearly two-meter-long, shimmering with a cold light, buzzing dark red "Fluctuation Sword".

Where the sword edge passed, even the air was sliced, emitting a sharp screech that made one’s teeth ache!

Facing this unprecedented bizarre weapon, Fang Cheng’s eyes focused, advancing instead of retreating.

Thigh muscles bulged, forcefully stomping the ground.

Bang!

The muddy ground beneath cracked open.

His entire body shot forward like a cannonball, becoming a blurred white shadow, confronting the descending dark red "meteor" head-on.

The two figures moving at extreme speed intertwined in mid-air!

Shiii——

The dark red Fluctuation Sword, with destructive power, slashed diagonally down, fast enough to nearly surpass visual detection limits, fiercely slashing Fang Cheng’s body.

Splitting it into two!

However, where the sword edge passed, the cut body suddenly dissolved like vapor, disappearing.

Because.

That was merely an afterimage.

Chief Gao reacted astonishingly fast, possessing almost inhuman combat instincts.

The moment his right arm’s Fluctuation Sword slashed through air, his waist surged with power, the sword edge drawn in a swift crescent arc in mid-air, instinctively slicing sideways to intercept.

Whoosh!

Fang Cheng, who suddenly appeared behind him, was sliced by the blade again.

But that was still just an afterimage.

Fang Cheng’s speed was incredibly fast, repeatedly dodging deadly slashes by mere fractions, maneuvering like a Ghost to Chief Gao’s blind spot.

Finally seized the opponent’s slightest lapse between old force exhausted and new force not yet born!

Bam!

No fancy moves, Fang Cheng’s fist shot out like a venomous dragon from its lair, smashing into the side armor of Chief Gao’s waist with the trajectory of the Fluctuation Sword’s return path.

Terrifying brute force erupted instantly, compressing the air, producing a dull, piercing explosion!

Fang Cheng attempted to use this punch as a breakthrough to directly crush his defense.

Followed by a pre-prepared, like a storm, combination of combat techniques.

Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat!

In less than half a second, like a barrage from a machine cannon.

However.

The recoil force from fists and feet shocked Fang Cheng, as if striking a resilient stratum corneum.

Even stranger, the surface of that dark red Biological Armor was covered with a layer of viscous living tissue, violently writhing and twisting the moment his fist made contact, forcibly dissipating at least forty percent of the punch’s impact.

And at this moment, Chief Gao’s left arm armor instantly transformed into a bone claw covered with barbs, screaming towards Fang Cheng’s throat, with the Fluctuation Sword also accordingly returning to defense, the attack and defense switching rapidly.

Fang Cheng’s heart stiffened, assessing the risk of a direct clash.

Immediately, his figure flickered like a swift gust of wind, retreating backward to temporarily widen the distance.

Swish—

Another blurred afterimage accompanied the sound of the air being torn.

The attack missed again, even leaving an opening for the opponent to counter, but this didn’t cause Chief Gao any hesitation, instead provoking an even fiercer offensive.

The left arm’s Bone Claw swung like the wind, while the right arm’s Fluctuation Sword blazed with red light, intertwining into an impenetrable storm of death.

Fierce energy scattered in all directions, cutting the surrounding weeds at the roots and shredding them into a shower of debris, aiming to completely seal Fang Cheng’s evasive space.

The sharp Bone Spurs on the armor’s surface subtly adjusted their angles constantly, like countless venomous snakes ready to strike, poised for a lethal blow at any moment.

Moreover, short bursts of airflow occasionally jetted from the gaps in the armor, providing extra bursts of power, allowing his massive body to make incredible high-speed changes in direction, charges, and spins.

His speed and agility were completely unlike that of a heavy-armored warrior.

Fang Cheng also pushed his own speed to the limit, twisting and turning in a small space like a small boat braving a stormy sea, continuously dodging the opponent’s relentless barrage of attacks.

Fists and feet occasionally landed on the opponent’s armor, making dull thuds like heavy hammers striking a drumskin-covered war drum, yet never inflicting decisive damage.

Chief Gao was not only unnaturally agile, but his reactions were astonishingly fast, as if he could even predict the air’s flow.

His every move seemed to be the most optimal solution derived from precise calculations, with muscle memory and nerve reflexes perfectly synchronized, like a killing program running on flesh and bones.

The slashes of the Fluctuation Sword, the tears of the Bone Claw, the body collisions, every move was perilously close, nearly striking Fang Cheng.

The armor covering his entire body had an extremely bizarre defensive ability, like some living entity, continuously absorbing and offsetting the impact from fists and feet.

"I must break through this shell first!"

Fang Cheng’s eyes remained calm, rapidly assessing the situation while moving at high speed.

Chief Gao seemed to sense Fang Cheng’s intention as well, and his offensive abruptly intensified, leaving him no room to breathe or think.

The speed of the Fluctuation Sword’s slashes became even faster, and after the red glow surged past and missed, it even plowed clear, smoke-emitting grooves into the ground.

Just as another powerful Fluctuation Sword swept across, forcing Fang Cheng to retreat backward swiftly to avoid its edge.

Another chance appeared!

Fang Cheng’s eyes glinted with sharp light, and he took a deep breath.

In the depths of his Dantian, the Red True Qi that had always been dormant like a volcano erupted completely without reservation at this moment!

Boom!

A scorching heat wave intense enough to distort the air suddenly spread from his body.

It was as if magma surged and flowed inside him, racing along the bloodstream straight from the Dantian to the right arm, finally converging on the tightly clenched fist!

Flame Breath — fully activated!

Avoiding the deadly edge of the Fluctuation Sword in the next instant, Fang Cheng’s waist twisted like a tightly drawn steel cable, spinning his right arm.

Then, the right fist broke through some restraint completely, its speed suddenly soaring another level, ripping through the air, blasting forward!

Whistle—

The air at the tip of the fist was violently compressed, emitting a sharp and piercing sonic boom.

It even drowned out the hum of the Fluctuation Sword from afar.

The highly concentrated Red True Qi was no longer an illusory glow but a substantial red flame burning fiercely on his fist!

This punch broke the sound barrier, carrying a blaze that seemed to incinerate all things.

Chief Gao’s pupils beneath the Demon Helmet suddenly contracted, sensing an unprecedented mortal danger.

Almost instinctively, he jerked up his Bone Spur-covered arms, crossing them to block in front.

At the same time, the Crystal Core on his chest flashed rapidly, attempting to channel energy for a counterattack or interference.

But it was too late!

Fang Cheng’s blazing Iron Fist, like a homing missile, arrived first despite the delay.

Ignoring the barrier of distance, it ruthlessly smashed into the armor at the connection between the opponent’s left arm and chest!

Boom!!!!!!!

A deafening explosion erupted suddenly, like detonating real explosives in a confined space.

The horrifying impact burst forth like a catastrophic flood, pouring out in an instant.

From the fist’s contact point, a visible ring-shaped shockwave rapidly expanded, throwing dirt, rubble, and grass clumps into the air!

Even Zhou Liang and Ali in the distance were shaken to their cores by this shockwave, quickly dropping flat on the ground to avoid the blast.

Chief Gao’s seemingly indestructible, incredibly defensively powerful Biological Armor emitted a series of nerve-racking "crack" sounds under this punch.

The blocking left arm’s armor shattered, flesh and carapace-like fragments flying everywhere.

With a scent of destruction, the Red Flames spread wildly and drilled through the cracks like maggots, burning the biological structure inside the armor with a "sizzle," emitting scorched, foul black smoke.

"Ugh—"

Even with his inhuman body and armor, he couldn’t withstand such terrifying impact and burning, finally letting out an involuntary groan of pain.

His massive body, as if struck head-on by a speeding heavy truck, completely lost balance and was sent hurtling backward like a cannonball, tracing a pathetic parabolic trajectory through the air.

"Chief Gao!!"

On the ground, Zhou Liang and Ali, witnessing this scene, turned pale and gasped in shock.

Their eyes were filled with incredulous horror.

However.

Just as Chief Gao was blown to the highest point of the parabola, about to crash heavily to the ground, a mutation occurred again!

Suddenly, an extremely dense, blood-like red light burst from his entire body.

This red light quickly condensed and expanded, forming a massive, translucent red Energy Shield.

The surface was smooth as an eggshell, while inside, viscous energy seemed to flow, enveloping his entire body completely.

The next second, something unbelievable happened before Fang Cheng and the two members of the Special Search Team.
