Chapter 154: Success

The people in the Small Town below had long since exploded into an uproar.

Someone actually came here to compete for the ruling power of the Small Town. This was a major matter concerning the life and death of the Small Town, so naturally, every resident was concerned about it. For such a tiny Small Town, without any communication technology, the news still reached everyone living here in an instant.

Having experienced the Fierce Beast tide, the residents of the Small Town simply did not know what fear was, and they all poked their heads out one after another.

Han Zhengwei’s rule over the Small Town could not be said to be good, nor could it be said to be bad; it was still within the tolerance of the residents. The survivors who came from various towns and cities did not know many people. Therefore, the fact that Han Zhengwei occupied more than a dozen of the most beautiful women was not considered a bad thing. At most, they would curse him a few times in private, which was entirely just sour grapes because they could not have what they wanted.

Regarding this battle, what the people truly cared about was who the winner would be.

If Han Zhengwei was killed, it would only show that his ability was lacking. The victor replacing him would actually make the Small Town stronger and safer. In the judgment of the residents, this was actually a good thing. If the challenging young man became the losing side, no one would pity him; instead, they would give Han Zhengwei the applause that a winner deserved.

“I don’t know who will live and stay.”

“So they say a mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake. I think this young guy might be in trouble.”

“I don’t think so. A fierce dragon crosses the river for a reason.”

“Who cares about them? It’s all the same no matter who it is. Does it have anything to do with us?”

“…”

The people below pointed and commented at Zhou Liming, who was hovering in the air. They displayed the essence of being spectators perfectly. No matter how time and place changed, this spirit of watching would absolutely not change.

Zhou Liming, who was long used to people’s discussions and pointing, was indifferent. He pointed coldly at Han Zhengwei and said, “In my eyes, you are just scum. The genes of a mere Level Four Fierce Beast are not worth my attention. I don’t really want to kill, so I will give you a chance, a chance to submit.”

“Kid, you are too arrogant.” That Super Warrior, who was about forty years old, jumped up and pounced towards Zhou Liming, roaring, “Let me see what capital you have to be so arrogant.” In mid-air, he directly entered his Fierce Beast Form. The sharp claws in his hand looked as if they had the momentum to split Zhou Liming in half.

Zhou Liming still had his arms crossed. Seeing that the opponent’s claws were about to touch him, he finally raised his foot and kicked out like lightning.

With a “bang”, the chest of this Super Warrior was kicked by Zhou Liming. The instantaneous impact made his face twist in pain. With a scream, his upward-rushing body plummeted downwards like a cannonball. The fierce force made him smash heavily onto a house by the street. The reinforced concrete roof was smashed through by him, and he fell inside.

The change in an instant was as fast as lightning. In Han Zhengwei’s imagination, it would take at least a few minutes for both sides to determine the winner.

“Chen Zhi must have been careless.” Han Zhengwei comforted himself like this. He did not believe that the other side could take care of Chen Zhi without even using his form. Back then, in order to subdue Chen Zhi, Han Zhengwei spent half an hour before finally beating him to the ground. How could Chen Zhi be defeated so easily now?

“Cough… cough… cough cough…”

Chen Zhi climbed out of the hole he had smashed open, coughing violently. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the roof. After climbing out, he could hardly stand and lay on the roof like a dead dog, shouting constantly from his mouth, “Bastard, bastard, I will kill you, I will kill you.”

Zhou Liming narrowed his eyes and said, “Kill me? Heh, you should think about how to save your own life instead.”

The expressions of Han Zhengwei and the other three changed drastically. The opponent had crippled Chen Zhi, who was not weak in combat power, with just one kick. What terrifying power was this? Was it really just an accident as they had thought just now? As long as one was not an idiot, they could tell that this was definitely not an accident.

“You should be very lucky, because you still have some use, otherwise…” Zhou Liming stretched out his right arm. In the shocked eyes of Han Zhengwei and the others, it combined like machinery and then turned into a cannon barrel, exuding a shadow of death. At the same time, Zhou Liming released his aura. The terrifying power of the aura pressed Han Zhengwei and the others until they almost wanted to fall to their knees. Apart from panic in their hearts, they could not generate a single thought of resistance.

Facing an opponent who is about the same as you, you will definitely be unconvinced. Facing an opponent who is a little better than you, you will definitely hold onto a sliver of luck.

But when the opponent you face is like Mount Tai, requiring you to look up, and is impossible to surpass in a lifetime, besides bowing down and submitting, there is nothing you can do at all. Facing a person who is many times stronger than you, if you still resist, that is not called bravery, but stupidity.

The fear in the eyes of Han Zhengwei and the others made Zhou Liming smile. He said faintly, “In my eyes, even if you enter your Fierce Beast Form, you are still scum. Do not overestimate yourselves.”

The arm that had turned into a cannon barrel began to gather energy. Zhou Liming needed to establish his authority and needed to let them understand that in front of him, they had no room to resist at all. A faint light appeared on the arm, beginning to attract the light between heaven and earth, constantly causing the arm to change, becoming bigger and bigger.

The gathered energy created a distortion in space that looked like a glitch. The massive energy allowed everyone to sense its power.

This was a power that could destroy heaven and earth. Even Han Zhengwei, this Level Four Super Warrior, felt his scalp go numb in the face of this power. Not to mention the ordinary residents below; they opened their mouths wide, feeling the oppression brought by this power. They could sense an instinctive danger.

In a moment, the energy gathering was completed. Zhou Liming aimed his right arm at a mountain range nearly a thousand meters away outside the Small Town.

With a thought, this huge ball of gathered light, dragging a shiny tail, sprayed out in the dull gaze of everyone and instantly bombarded the mountain range.

The light ball seemed to sink into the mountain body and disappear. But this situation lasted less than half a second. These mountains were like a volcanic eruption; first, they suddenly sank, and then they spewed out. Countless flames burst out, sweeping up to a height of dozens of meters. The mountain bodies within a radius of nearly a kilometer all sank down, spreading out violently like water ripples appearing when a stone falls into a lake.

Suddenly, a mushroom cloud-shaped explosion formed, destroying everything within the range.

The deafening explosion sound made people’s eardrums ache. Mud clumps and stones splashed out by the explosion fiercely smashed into the rice fields and the Small Town.

The people who were just watching screamed in terror, scurrying around with their heads in their hands, looking for places to hide. The sound of glass shattering rang out densely in the Small Town. On the street, clumps of mud smashed down and scattered everywhere. Some stones directly smashed through walls, revealing a hole.

Indescribable power instantly flattened a mountain range in the distance, forming a huge deep pit.

Han Zhengwei and the others turned pale. Only now did they discover that under this power, just as Zhou Liming had said just now, they were nothing but scum. They had never imagined that human power could be strong to this extent, like a small Nuclear Bomb. It was hard to imagine that if this attack directly bombarded the Small Town, the entire Small Town would be destroyed and razed to the ground.

Having launched such a earth-shattering attack, Zhou Liming felt that his power was almost completely consumed.

Unlike in India, at least now Zhou Liming could still have about thirty percent of his fighting power left after using this move, instead of collapsing directly due to exhaustion.

His wings flapped. Zhou Liming looked a bit casual, as if using such a terrifying attack was insignificant. He even resumed his posture of crossing his arms in front of his chest, calmly looking at the vanished mountain body and this large pit created by human hand. Perhaps after the next rain, this would be a not-so-small lake.

Under these circumstances, Han Zhengwei and the others could not raise a single thought of resistance.

Chen Zhi, who had just shouted about killing Zhou Liming, sensibly shut his mouth. However, his eyes still stared dead at that huge pit. He had never imagined that a Form Skill without entering the Fierce Beast Form would possess such earth-shaking power. “If he entered the Fierce Beast Form and launched this attack, what would it be like?” Chen Zhi no longer dared to guess.

Under the intimidation of Zhou Liming’s attack, the next steps were naturally very simple.

In the entire Small Town, no one made a single sound of opposition anymore. In fact, the people who had witnessed the power of this attack became excited instead. With such a powerful ruler, would they still need to worry about the Fierce Beasts in the future? Under his protection, even their sleep would be much more peaceful.

While his wings flapped, Zhou Liming slowly flew a bit higher, allowing him to look down at the entire Small Town.

Licking his lips, Zhou Liming looked at this Small Town with a hint of calm. If not for the distant pit, this was simply a land of fish and rice in Jiangnan. Now, this Small Town was his. But for Zhou Liming, a mere Small Town was only a part of his plan. Further away, there were stronger and larger Settlements waiting for him.

When a person possesses enough ability, they become more ambitious.

Zhou Liming was no exception. To obtain true freedom was to let himself stand at the highest point, where no one could point fingers at him. Only in this way was there true freedom.
