Chapter 868 – Volume 10 – Chapter 19: Combat Power
There were no visible traumas on the human being vomited out. All of them had their eyes closed and passed out in a coma.
Sun Xiaosheng could hear that these humans had healthy heartbeats. So, there shouldn’t be any major problems after they wake up. But, it was hard to say if there would be any ramifications. After all, they were swallowed into Dong Zhuo’s body once.
However, Sun Xiaosheng couldn’t figure out the chain’s origin. He was even amazed that the chain freed the victims, which Dong Zhuo devoured.
But...
This feels so refreshing!
This damn fat guy likes acting arrogant. Finally, he fucks up!
Ah—!
When the last human was vomited out, Dong Zhuo let out a painful cry. Apparently, vomiting the food back out was unbearable.
Brother Xiaosheng sneered at this moment. He jumped up directly, hitting Dong Zhuo’s head with a heavy blow. As the saying goes, take down the opponent when he is injured. Brother Xiaosheng made his way in the gray area over the years. Of course, he learned his lesson to act smart.
I’m not an honorable knight!
Boom—!
The fist hit the hardest part of Dong Zhuo’s skull. Sun Xiaosheng could feel the opponent’s bones had cracked. After all, Dong Zhuo’s entire head was severely deformed because of the punch.
Since the chain restrained Dong Zhuo, he had no means of resistance, and his body fell to the ground like mud.
After he fell to the ground, the chain slowly loosened but did not leave. It ran rampant, darting around in the barren land.
The chains were like the light in a world full of mirrors, constantly refracting in front of Sun Xiaosheng’s eyes. Soon, they barraged at the barren land’s edge.
The chains circled the fallen trees and lifted them again. A vigorous spiritual qi began to spread all around. In the blink of an eye, the fallen trees had been restored to their original state. Only the scattered leaves were left on the ground.
Click—!
It seemed to be a cracking sound—the moment it sounded, Brother Xiaosheng sensed the connection between him and the main world had come back. It appeared that the chain shattered the barren land directly.
The chains came from the void. When the barren land shattered and the fallen tree was reborn, the chains retracted from where it came from. Soon, it disappeared from Sun Xiaosheng’s sight. He couldn’t discern the chain’s intentions.
As the scenes unfolded in front of him, Sun Xiaosheng had sudden enlightenment, and he understood the meaning of this mysterious chain: Don’t stir up trouble here and don’t destroy this place.
“Did that old woman leave this behind? No wonder she is so relaxed and just left this place like that…” Sun Xiaosheng rubbed his chin for a while but felt that such a mysterious chain didn’t seem to be the style of True Dragon of Divine Land.
But in this city, apart from this real dragon, Sun Xiaosheng really couldn’t think of anyone else capable of arranging such a terrifying chain.
Suddenly, a beautiful face flashed in Sun Xiaosheng’s memory. All his hair was burned off at that encounter, and he fled away in embarrassment with his bare buttocks.
“It’s not right. The people in that place don’t do anything without profit. So why would they want to protect the city?” Sun Xiaosheng immediately denied this idea.
Dong Zhuo still lay motionless at the same spot. Sun Xiaosheng walked to Dong Zhuo’s side, kicked the guy’s fat belly, and wondered if he should throw this fellow into the furnace at the garbage incineration plant. That should settle it all.
“Brother Xiaosheng.”
In the distance, Yu Danqiang mustered his courage and approached Sun Xiaosheng in a panic. He seemingly wanted to speak up.
Sun Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes and took a glance at Yu Danqiang, “I may not come to your stall to buy fish balls again. Also, if you want to stay safe in your future, forget what happened today. “
“Brother Xiaosheng?” Yu Danqiang called out.
Sun Xiaosheng picked up Dong Zhuo’s body directly at this time and leaped high. In the next instant, he had already jumped onto a building next to him and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Not long after, the human in the perimeter woke up. They stood up from the ground one after another with confusion, looking left and right. Vehicles on the street were toppled, and rubbish was all over the place. It was as if a typhoon passed by, but the trees were undamaged. Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised.
“What’s the matter with these guys? It seems that they have forgotten what happened?” Yu Danqiang was startled.
He remembered what Sun Xiaosheng had said before leaving. He felt low-spirited, and a little lost in his heart. Probably I won’t get to see this strange man walking around in Red Light Street in the future?
“But it turns out there is still a world I don’t know about!”
Yu Danqiang quietly cleaned up his fishball stalls. He had sold fish balls here for more than ten years, and his life was ordinary. Decades of his life were not as exciting as today.
Yu Danqiang shook his head, secretly reminding himself that he was just an ordinary person after all. No matter how dangerous this world was, he was just the onlooker when Ultraman fought monsters on the TV.
He sighed and packed the folding stools.
“What is this?”
Under a folding stool, Yu Danqiang suspiciously picked up a piece of wood talisman. It was only about half the size of a palm, with messy gold and silver patterns engraved on its sides. He couldn’t figure out what it was.
This seems to be pure gold?
Yu Danqiang subconsciously put it in his mouth and bit it, wanting to test the hardness of this thing. But at this moment, the weird wood talisman suddenly glowed and turned hot.
Yu Danqiang didn’t have the chance to throw this thing away. Instead, something seemed to be sucking his body. This strange wood talisman suddenly turned into a black ball of light, swallowed Yu Danqiang in, and disappeared.
No one noticed that the hawker who had been selling fish balls here for many years had disappeared.
…
Garbage incineration plant.
Sun Xiaosheng threw Dong Zhuo directly into the stove like rotten meat. He watched the body burn and turn into black coal. Then, he nodded, “That’s it.”
The temperature in the incinerator was extremely high. To be honest, it was even more potent than some of the daoist’s tricks.
Brother Xiaosheng sighed at the terrifying aspects of human technology and thought about the party tonight at the bar. As for what happened today, it had long slipped his mind.
After acquiring intelligence, obtaining that item, and then the journey, Sun Xiaosheng became one of the few demon beast kings in the world of demon beast now. Despite all that, he still felt that he was just a drunk and dreaming monkey.
He didn’t intend to interfere with the world’s affairs.
But not long after Sun Xiaosheng left, the black coal in the incinerator suddenly cracked open.
But a sturdy body came out of this huge coal, walking in flames, and finally came out unscathed.
His muscles were dense, outshining all bodybuilding champions in the world. It was just that such a fit body didn’t last long. It swelled, and soon it became full of fat again.
“Since I was burned in Chang’an that year, I haven’t been roasted by fire for a long time.”
He moved his neck. Just as when he was planning the next move, there was a sudden crack in the space around him. Oda, dressed in black and wearing a hat, frowned and walked out.
Dong Zhuo saw how damaged Oda’s clothes were. The weapon named Onikiri was gripped tightly in Oda’s hand. Dong Zhuo squinted and laughed, “It seems that you aren’t doing well, the Great Devil of the 6th Heaven.”
Oda frowned deeper, “It seems that our intelligence is faulty. In addition to the True Dragon of Divine Land, this city is guarded by a mysterious force. Unfortunately, I failed to retrieve the spirit vein.”
“My plan to guide Sun Xiaosheng into our group has to be put aside as well.” Dong Zhuo opened his eyes slightly, “Although this spiritual vein is useful, it is not something irreplaceable. Since it isn’t easy to acquire it, let it be. Eric, who I led into the group, said last time that there is a spokesperson of that place in this city. Most likely, the chain is his work.”
Oda snorted, still seemingly dissatisfied.
Dong Zhuo said calmly, “The Great Devil of the 6th Heaven, don’t be discouraged. If protecting this city involves the transaction of that place, even if we come out in full force, we won’t be able to stir up any trouble here. Not just us, everyone and everything is minute in the face of his existence.”
Oda frowned again, “Is there no way to go about it?”
Dong Zhuo spread his hands, “Nope.”
Oda said solemnly, “How can we achieve transcendence!?”
Dong Zhuo turned around and left, “Of course, it is to find the answer to this challenge.”
Oda groaned for a few seconds and finally let out a cold snort, “I will return to Aichi Prefecture [1]. So, I’m not heading back into the space gap. There is a guy with great potential over there, and I intend to guide him.”
“I’m going to look for food.”
…
The maid just bought some fresh ingredients from the supermarket, and the seafood was fresh. The maid did a pretty good job in processing the unique shrimps in the kitchen.
But at this moment, a crack appeared on the table. A chain slowly crawled out of the crack, like well-behaved as a pet. It finally climbed onto the maid’s hand and then wrapped around her wrist.
The chain hummed slightly.
The maid’s action of picking out the shrimp’s intestine did not stop. After a while, she said calmly, “Got it. Feel free to go back.”
The chain then slowly loosened from the maid’s wrist, retreated the same way it came, and disappeared.
“Do you need help?”
Boss Luo walked in with a small pot of mint. This was one of the potted plants planted in front of the lobby counter, growing at an unreasonable rate. After the mint leaves were harvested, they would grow back the next day. It was an everyday item that the boss and the maid used for bartending and cooking.
“Um… Master, can you heat the oil?”
“Are you going to make fried shrimp?”
“Right, do you like it?”
Boss Luo smiled and began to pour cooking oil into the pot.
You Ye whispered at this moment, “Master, there are Transcendeds attempting to take away that spiritual vein in your house.”
As for the result, Boss Luo didn’t care too much because it was an established fact that nothing could take away the spiritual vein.
Luo Qiu looked at the bubbles slowly emerging from the golden oil in the pot and suddenly joked, “The gap between two spaces – the transcended side and the scientific side. Speaking of which, the transcended side has varying strength levels and annotations. For example, the divine power system, the daoist circle, the levels distinguishing the demon beast race. But there seems to be no strict definition on the scientific side?”
You Ye blinked and said curiously, “Master, are you going to grade the scientific division? How?”
Boss Luo smiled and said, “When I was young, I liked a character called Super Electromagnetic Cannon [2]. How about levels? LV1, LV2, etc.?”
The maid asked, “What should be the benchmark?”
Boss Luo brainstormed, “How about we grade the scientific side based on power alone? But, there’s a distinction between genetic modification and other means to obtain the equivalent transcended power. For example, there’s Prometheus, a man-made species. In addition, people with superpowers like Mo Xiaofei who have developed their brain domain should fail in the science category. After all, the research development of the brain domain seems to have started since World War II.”
“So, should the armed forces also be counted?” You Ye began to extend the master’s new definition.
“Then, let’s grade the kinetic energy generated by the most basic handgun bullet as the benchmark for LV1. Then, we extend the threshold based on the comparison with those in similar power levels.”
“But there are too many types of superpowers. Also, there are those with pure auxiliary properties. For example, innate psychic power can only be used for hypnosis. How do we define it?”
Boss Luo smiled and said, “We can do it in a simple and straightforward manner. For the time being, let’s classify the scientific side with destructive power. That will be convenient. To say which is more excellent, it also depends on the circumstances. Let’s temporarily create this database first and then gradually grade them later. After all, we have a lot of time.”
Thinking of this, Boss Luo suddenly had an idea. Recalling some of his childhood thoughts, he smiled and said, “At the end, we can classify both Transcendence’s side and Science’s side into combat power. For example, the combat power of an ordinary person equipped with a hunting rifle can be defined as “5.” On the other hand, the common demon beast that has just entered adulthood has a combat power of ’50’ or something… En, the oil temperature is just fine now.”
“Let me do it.” The maid smiled slightly, submerged the peeled shrimp with powder, and put it in the sizzling oil.
…
When the bullet was shot from a very long distance and successfully penetrated the forehead of a graceful middle-aged woman in the next second, O’Neill quickly left the place where he was.
In an open-air cafe in the distance, Lluvia nodded towards Song Haoran at the same time.
Song Haoran, who was reading the newspaper, folded the newspaper and said, “With this, there is only one target left. Are you ready?”
Lluvia nodded and said, “I have got the ticket for the theater tonight.”
“Good job.” Song Haoran looked at the Lluvia’s hot body and smiled gracefully, “Beautiful Miss Lluvia, please let me choose a suitable evening dress for you?”
Ouch!
Lluvia smiled and nodded slightly.
