Exploding God

Hong Chong!?

Upon hearing those two words, Zhao Ping and Yao Zhou's eyelids twitched violently, and they exchanged a look of utter horror.

There's no need to look up this name at all, because it's just... too famous!

Hungry Tiger Hong Chong.

"Ranked ninth among martial artists in Shangnan City, the ultimate survivor of the Black Market Iron Cage Tournament for thirteen consecutive years, with a 210-win streak, a 7-star gene martial artist who can tear steel and dodge bullets with muscle bursts, and whose opponents in the battle record all died with their bones completely shattered..." This series of data flashed through Lin Zhidao's mind. Although unwilling, he was already filled with fear when he looked at Lin Chujun.

The opponent is a pure combat-oriented genetic warrior, whose number of lives on his hands has already exceeded three digits.

This is a 7-star warrior that can only be seen in legends and fighting videos! How could Lin Chujun bring such a dangerous guy here?

This would likely put Lu Ze in danger.

Lin Zhidao thought with great concern that even though Fu Haonan had told him his assessment of Lu Ze's strength before, he only truly understood the terror of Hungry Tiger Hong Chong when he was actually there.

But considering their current situation, since they had already arranged to meet Lu Ze and their cousin had seen them, there was no longer any question of which side they should be on.

Let's just stick to this path and see it through to the end.

Lin Zhidao gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked to Lu Ze's side. He wanted to say something to save face for both of them, but unexpectedly, Lu Ming, who had the least presence, was standing right in front of him, blocking all the words he wanted to say with his calm gaze.

If we're talking about understanding Lu Ze, even a hundred Lin Zhidaos can't compare to Lu Ming.

Lin Chujun remained silent, maintaining her haughty and aloof demeanor.

As for Lu Ze, he was "staring" at Hong Chong. He could feel an indescribable "qi" flowing around the other man, carrying a faint sense of erosion.

The other party had been deep within the mist and carried the scent of that place.

He withstood the erosion and captured the true stellar energy.

Three years from now, he might become one of the first Limit Breakers.

Judging from both his experience and his abilities, Hong Chong is qualified to become a pioneer of the Mist and step into that tower in the future.

However, this is not a reason to provoke yourself!

"Oh? Is this your new reliance? Your strength is decent, but you're nothing but a cat or dog in my eyes." Lu Ze didn't even glance at Hong Chong, but turned around, picked up the still-warm tea on the tea table, slowly sipped it, and casually said to Lin Zhidao, "You did very well just now."

Lin Zhidao nodded resignedly with a stern face.

Anyway, you're right about everything. You're more capable than me, I knew that from the beginning, but I really didn't expect you to be this capable. Anyway, I understand now that I don't have a chance to speak at all in this situation.

Since that's the case, then I, Lin Zhidao, will just go all out. Since everyone looks down on me anyway, I'll bet on Lu Ze.

If you win, we'll talk about the next step; if you lose, you're out of here.

"A mere cat or dog? What arrogance! You have no idea what the consequences of angering a 7-star general will be." Hong Chong laughed angrily, his face suddenly turning cold, and his tone becoming full of murderous intent.

"Young man, you know nothing about power."

Hong Chong strode forward, and with each step he took, a visible shockwave emanated from the soles of his feet, while his muscles visibly bulged.

As Hong Chong took his third step, a button popped off his clothes, revealing his bronze muscles as hard as rock, and his aura reached its peak.

As the fourth step landed, a loud hum was heard, and the room trembled violently. Hong Chong's figure moved like lightning, and in the instant he was lifted into the air, a hurricane suddenly appeared.

One punch.

A punch, devoid of any frills but brimming with power, could change the very fabric of the world with a mere gesture, overwhelming everything around him.

This is the qualitative change that comes with reaching the Seven Stars - Strong Wind level martial artist; this is the true might of a warrior general.

The moment the punch was thrown, Lin Zhidao's face changed color, because he also keenly heard a subtle but piercing sound, which was clearly a sharp whistling sound made after the airflow was forcibly disturbed by some object.

Recalling Hong Chong's past battles, the name of this object made him blurt out, "Watch out, it's an alloy brass knuckles!"

Lin Zhidao spoke quickly enough, but Hong Chong spoke even faster. By the time the last word of his sentence fell, the shadow of his burly figure had already enveloped the tea room, and the strong air pressure was like a wall pushing in.

By now, it's all too late for words.

The power and influence here is utterly domineering!

Lin Chujun's lips curled into a smile. She had come here with the mindset of playing cat and mouse, but she hadn't expected things to turn out this way. However, in front of the hungry tiger Hong Chong, she was at most just a big rat.

The fact that she's still sitting here means that no matter what happens today, she can smooth things over; this is the domineering nature of the Shangnan Lin family.

Just then, Lu Ze finished his tea and casually turned around as he put down his teacup. The sudden gust of fierce wind made him feel as if he were standing on a reconnaissance tower, making his hair and collar rustle. In his indifferent eyes, he saw a heavy punch that looked like a comet coming closer and closer!

In that instant, an even stronger aura surged from Lu Ze's body, like a giant beast rising up, and the invisible "qi" instantly gathered in his palm.

He raised his right arm, palm facing outwards.

As the Tiger's Roar Fist was about to strike, he spread his five fingers wide and then suddenly snapped them together.

boom!!

A white wave crashed vertically between the two, shattering the surrounding flower vases.

Lin Chujun's light purple curly hair was swept up by the strong wind, revealing her fair and lovely face.

Lu Ze held one arm out at an angle, motionless, with nothing behind him, and as for his palm... not a single drop of blood splattered out.

Lu Ze raised his eyelids, looked at Hong Chong who was suspended in mid-air in a leaping posture, and spoke softly:

"You know nothing about power."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

This illusion existed in the minds of everyone present at that moment. Whether it was Lin Zhidao, Lin Chujun, Zhao Ping, Yao Zhou, or Lu Ming, they all clearly saw Lu Ze release and withdraw his right hand.

With all kinetic energy lost, Hong Chong began to fall naturally, but for some reason, this movement was very slow, and everything around him seemed to be moving slowly.

Has time really slowed down?

No... that's just an illusion!

Out of the corner of people's eyes, countless white streams of air meandered and twisted, then shot out in an instant.

—Flowing Water Unloading Wind Fist: Chaotic Arrows!

The infusion of 500 star-level energy, at a terrifying speed of over 48 strikes per second, caused Lu Ze's alternating straight punches to create waves of white mist.

Hong Chong's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints at that moment. He vaguely saw countless harpoons being shot at him, with white ropes flying back and forth like shuttles.

He roared, and the invisible "qi" that had been emanating outward suddenly retracted as if startled. His muscles instantly solidified like iron, and he used his genetic martial arts to protect his body before landing and seeking a counterattack.

The shifts in offense and defense happened in the blink of an eye, and Hong Chong made up his mind in a flash.

however……

As countless white waves crashed onto Hong Chong's body.

The languidness and nonchalance in Lin Chujun's eyes vanished, and Lin Zhidao's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape...

They saw Lu Ze's almost vanished arms.

Bang bang bang!

Crackling sounds!

Countless waves burst forth on Hong Chong's body.

The process of a human body freefalling from a height of 2 meters became a luxury in Lu Ze's hands at this moment.

In Hong Chong's eyes, it became...

despair!
