Chapter 189: Completely Countering Superpower Users
Standing outside the iron gate, Sha Shun stared intently at the approaching pickup truck. Behind the wheel, Thomas finally brought the vehicle to a halt about twenty meters away.
The entire alleyway suddenly fell silent.
Thomas slowly shifted into third gear, and Laine, sitting in the passenger seat, buckled his seatbelt!
SCREECH!
The moment Laine buckled up, Thomas floored the gas pedal. The engine roared as the truck charged straight at Sha Shun!
Sha Shun bent his knees slightly, calculating the truck’s speed and timing! A distance of twenty-plus meters meant the pickup truck would arrive in the blink of an eye! At that exact moment, Sha Shun suddenly leaped into the air!
CRASH!
His calculation was flawlessly precise. As he jumped, the pickup truck slammed into the iron gate with a deafening boom!
Upstairs, Lin Jian, who had just finished setting the fire, heard the commotion and quickly rushed downstairs! By this time, Sha Shun had already landed on the truck’s hood and was engaged in a fierce fight with a curly-haired white man!
The curly-haired white man wasn’t tall—only about 1.7 meters—but he wore a pair of eerie black gloves and wielded a sharp dagger. The opponent was incredibly agile. Amidst a flurry of rolls and strikes, Sha Shun surprisingly failed to gain the upper hand!
Just then, Lin Jian rushed out!
Thomas also stepped out of the pickup truck and blew a whistle. "Nee how!" This guy actually knew how to speak Chinese.
Lin Jian raised an eyebrow. Through his Thought, he noticed something unusual about the man’s black gloves. Furthermore, upon seeing this guy, why did the Dao Tree start rustling and swaying?
He scanned Thomas from head to toe with his Thought, but he didn’t find anything containing Spiritual Energy. However... Thomas seemed somewhat different from ordinary people, as if a unique energy pulsed through his veins! The same applied to the curly-haired man fighting Sha Shun; they both possessed a distinct energy within their bodies.
"Nee how. I... Thomas. You... messed with the wrong people. So... I, send you, to meet God!" He sounded incredibly comical when speaking Chinese.
Right at that moment, Sha Shun successfully forced back Curly-haired Laine and said coldly, "They’re not normal. Be careful!"
At the same time, the curly-haired man quickly retreated to Thomas’s side and began babbling in a foreign tongue. Thomas’s expression shifted, and he replied in the same gibberish!
SWOOSH!
As soon as he finished speaking, he surprisingly charged at Sha Shun, while the curly-haired man lunged at Lin Jian! Clearly, Sha Shun had put too much pressure on the curly-haired man, making it impossible for him to win. Therefore, Thomas decided to take him on personally. Meanwhile, the two men seemed to think Lin Jian would be the weaker opponent!
Lin Jian didn’t go to help Sha Shun because he knew perfectly well that Sha Shun had rigorously trained in both internal and external martial arts, making him a very tough nut to crack. Therefore, seeing the curly-haired man attacking him, he advanced instead of retreating. He quickly closed the distance and threw a punch!
However, something bizarre happened.
Just as his punch aimed for the curly-haired man’s head, the opponent swiftly dodged. Then, Lin Jian felt as if his body had lost its balance, causing him to stumble and pitch forward. Indeed, the moment the curly-haired man dodged, Lin Jian lost his balance and uncontrollably fell to the ground!
But he quickly rolled over, executed a kip-up to get back on his feet, and immediately followed up with a whip kick! Just like before, as he delivered the whip kick, his body once again fell into a state of imbalance. Not only did he fail to hit the opponent, but he also nearly tripped over himself!
Lin Jian rapidly retreated. If he had considered the imbalance during his first punch an accident, then the second kick was a deliberate probing attack! But what he never expected was that this curly-haired man actually possessed the ability to make anyone who approached him lose their balance.
The second abnormality Lin Jian noticed, however, was that the moment he lost his balance, the Dao Tree would sway slightly. It happened twice in a row, so the Dao Tree swayed twice! That meant when the opponent used the ability to disrupt his balance, the energy generated by this ability was the Dao Tree’s favorite... tonic!
He wondered, "In that case... If I grab his body with my hand and use my Thought to scour him, will it be just like with the Spirit Jade? Once my Thought scours him, will the energy in his body be absorbed by the Dao Tree?"
After all, when he absorbed the Spirit Jade, he used his Thought to scour it, allowing the Spiritual Power inside to be directly absorbed by the Dao Tree. If it were a person, the nature of the process should be exactly the same!
At this moment, Curly-haired Laine took the initiative to attack. He believed that the man in front of him was much easier to deal with than the big guy. When he used his Superpower to manipulate the big guy’s Force Field, the big guy hadn’t experienced any severe imbalance. But this guy in front of him couldn’t even control his own body, so Laine was confident he could easily take Lin Jian out!
SWOOSH!
He lunged forward to stab with his knife, simultaneously continuing to manipulate the Force Field around Lin Jian’s body! However, this time, although Lin Jian also lost his balance, at the exact moment he stumbled, he hooked his arm around his opponent’s calf. As a result, his opponent also lost his balance and toppled toward him.
SWOOSH!
Lin Jian’s reaction was incredibly fast. In an instant, one of his hands had already locked in a firm grip onto the arm holding the dagger!
"Thought scouring!"
Lin Jian quickly extended his Thought into the opponent’s body!
BUZZZZZ!
The Dao Tree instantly began rustling loudly, and then Curly-haired Laine’s body trembled and convulsed as if he were being electrocuted.
