Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 7 The Way of Silence
Just as Lu Chen was considering his next move, the tree he was leaning against was cut off. The tree fell with a loud noise.

Lu Chen was startled and immediately jumped to the other side.

Strange words began to gather towards him in front of him.

Lu Chen immediately realized that he was under attack by a Stand. This was clearly the Sound Man's Way of Silence. Although he didn't know why he was in this position, he knew that the enemy he faced this time was also a strong opponent.

The Way of Silence can attach onomatopoeia to anything, and the words carrying the onomatopoeia possess corresponding power. When the object carrying the onomatopoeia collides with another object, the corresponding power is manifested in that object. The tree just now was struck by the sound of cutting.

Lu Chen thought it was the fire he had built that had exposed his position, but now was not the time to draw conclusions; he had to respond immediately. He didn't know if the attacking enemy had any companions.

In the comics, Soundman sets out with Diego. Even without his teammates, his abilities are very restrained. Soundman's voice can easily cut through metal. His own Stand abilities are no match in this situation.

The substitute Body Steel then emerged and looked around, and soon noticed that most of these sound characters were floating down from the upwind direction.

Lu Chen knew that the place where these strange characters were most densely populated should be the direction where the sound man's body was, and the precision of his substitute was not high.

Through his stand-in's keen observation, Lu Chen realized that the sound man had attached the sound to the leaves, and the wind had carried the leaves over. The enemy was upwind.

So Lu Chen threw the biscuit in his hand towards the place where the words were most densely packed. After the biscuit hit the words, it immediately broke into powder and burned.

The sound person mixed together several different words with different effects. He himself should be hiding behind a tree behind the dense text.

Lu Chen ran a few quick steps toward that direction. He saw densely packed leaves carrying sounds floating in the woods ahead. The sound person was standing in the woods in the distance, watching him quietly.

Yinren was the first to speak after seeing Lu Chen: "Hand over the body, and I will not take your life. Otherwise, I can cut you into pieces with just one blow."

Lu Chen responded by raising his gun and firing at the Sound Man. The bullet was shattered by the sound before it reached the Sound Man. However, this also confirmed that he was alone. Without Diego, the Sound Man's intimidation was less powerful.

Without other help, the text he recorded the sound with would not move very fast. Previously, he relied on the wind to transport these things to his side.

Lu Chen looked at the words in the air while moving forward carefully.

Suddenly, a wound appeared on Lu Chen's left leg. At the same time, a feeling of nausea emerged, accompanied by a sense of loss of balance.

Yes! Sound Man can also create invisible sounds. These are probably the effects of infrasound or ultrasound.

Lu Chen realized that he had definitely collided with the sound he had made. And what was he recording these invisible sounds on? This wasn't underwater, so he didn't have a very convenient way to record the sounds.

Lu Chen quickly glanced around and was sure that he had not touched any leaves.

He threw another biscuit forward, and as it hit the ground, it shattered. The sound man recorded that invisible sound on the dirt. He had already set a trap here, waiting for the prey to find it. Perhaps there were more traps in the dirt behind him, leaving a path for himself.

The substitute Body Steel picked up a stone and rolled it forward, and it was quickly shattered. However, the path the stone had rolled over was safe.

Seeing his trap had been discovered, Yin Ren no longer held back. He threw a stone forward. It struck the words depicting the sound of an explosion, and an explosion immediately occurred.

Under the impact of the explosion, the leaves with words on them began to float towards Lu Chen quickly.

Lu Chen's stand-in suddenly punched the tree beside him, and the leaves flew in the direction of the force. When the leaves were about to touch the words, they all became hard.

Of course, the soft leaves could trigger the Substitute's Steel effect. Suddenly, the woods erupted in a cacophony of sounds: explosions, slicing, and burning. The sturdy leaf fragments fell to the ground, triggering another attack.

It was indeed a dangerous place. Burning leaves set fire to the dry branches on the ground. Smoke rose from the woods.

After the sounds on the leaves triggered each other, Lu Chen fired several shots at the sound person. Because Lu Chen had no experience with firearms, and at this distance, even experienced marksmen couldn't hit accurately. Experienced marksmen like Link had to move within five steps before firing.

The bullet didn't even grazed Yin Ren's side; it deflected by a significant distance. However, Lu Chen's main purpose in firing was to attract Yin Ren's attention.

The moment the gunshot sounded, the audience's attention was drawn to the bullet. This is human instinct.

At the same time, Heart Steel slammed the tree again, using the hardened leaves to pave a safe path for itself. Lu Chen also took the opportunity to collect many leaves.

Lu Chen rushed forward quickly along this safe road.

Yin Ren wasn't afraid, for he was a seasoned Indian warrior. He drew his dagger. His Stand materialized behind him. Crucially, he knew next to nothing about his Stand, and his own Stand's strength and speed were the same as a normal human's.

So in his impression, everyone's stand should be like this. Of course, the President would not explain the various abilities of the stand to him. In other words, he did not have enough information.

The sound man's stand-in continued to make sounds of cutting, explosion, and burning.

Lu Chen continued to throw those leaves forward like flying knives. As long as he could touch the sounds in advance, the sound man would not be in any danger. The sounds in front of the sound man were touched off one by one. The impact of the explosion was partially blocked by Lu Chen's cloak.

Soon the two of them were very close, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. The distance was within 10 meters.

Heart Steel suddenly accelerated and punched the Sound Man's stand-in with a heavy punch.

Then came the continuous blows like raindrops.
