Chapter 51: Fierce Battle on the Street

"Let's go! Let's go buy candied haws!"

Chen Yusheng put the money into the Space Bead, waved at Xiao Jiu, and the two turned and left the pawnshop.

As for killing someone by mistake just now, Chen Yusheng felt not a shred of guilt. If the other party dared to take the initiative to cause him trouble, they had to be prepared to lose their life, not to mention that they were people from the He Family.

Wasn't the He Family just relying on their power and influence to kill whoever they wanted?

Now that he had the strength, dealing with people from the He Family was naturally easy.

Just as they walked out of the pawnshop gate, a group of people in uniform rushed over and blocked their path.

"Are you the ones causing trouble at the He Clan Pawnshop?" the leader asked in a deep voice.

While speaking, two team members had already rushed into the pawnshop to check the situation.

"Are you people from the He Family?" Chen Yusheng's gaze turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hearing the question, the middle-aged man leading the team frowned: "We are from the Base Security Bureau. We received a report that someone was causing trouble at the pawnshop, so we came to verify the situation."

Chen Yusheng swept a glance at the security officers and said in a flat tone: "This is not something you can manage. Move aside."

As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man was first shaken by Chen Yusheng's aura, but then seeing his ordinary attire, he suddenly felt he was losing face, and shame and anger welled up in his heart.

"Men, arrest him!"

Just then, the team members who had rushed into the pawnshop ran out in a panic.

"Captain Luo! It's bad, there's a dead person inside!"

The middle-aged man's expression changed abruptly; he did not hesitate any longer and reached directly for the pistol at his waist.

Seeing the other party about to draw a gun, Chen Yusheng did not hesitate at all, and the Thunder Method he had already condensed was unleashed instantly.

A bolt of lightning accurately struck the middle-aged man and also took down all the security officers nearby.

These people were not direct descendants of the He Family, so Chen Yusheng did not use lethal force. Those hit by the Thunder Method all fell to the ground severely injured and temporarily lost their ability to move, but their lives were not in danger.

Pedestrians on the street saw the conflict and were so scared that they retreated one after another, staying far away.

"Let's go, let's go buy candied haws." Chen Yusheng called out to Xiao Jiu, walked straight past the security officers on the ground, and headed toward the candied haw stall.

Passersby not far away saw Chen Yusheng use lightning to knock down a group of security officers and subconsciously moved to both sides, clearing a path for them.

In everyone's eyes, Chen Yusheng was a powerful Ability User who didn't even take the Security Bureau seriously; he was simply not someone they could afford to provoke.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the candied haw stall.

"How much for the candied haws?" Chen Yusheng asked the stall owner.

"Ten Contribution Points each."

"I want all of these."

Chen Yusheng counted; there were nearly a hundred candied haws on the stall, and he took out a handful of coins and handed them over.

Seeing that he really wanted to buy them all and paid so readily, the stall owner's face immediately blossomed with a smile: "Alright! All the candied haws are yours!"

Chen Yusheng didn't dawdle; with a casual wave, the hundred-plus candied haws were instantly stored into the Space Bead.

"Whoa, so you're an Ability User." The stall owner was surprised, but not too shocked. There were many Ability Users in the Base, and while being able to store things remotely was rare, it wasn't unheard of.

After buying the candied haws, Chen Yusheng handed a skewer to Xiao Jiu, took one for himself, and strolled through the nearby shops while eating.

There were many snacks on this street, and Chen Yusheng planned to buy more to store away so he could eat delicious food whenever he wanted.

"This looks good, wrap them all up, I'll take them."

"This is delicious too, pack it all up!"

The two started a sweeping mode, buying from one snack shop after another, stuffing them into the Space Bead as if they didn't cost money.

By the time they reached the sixth shop, trouble finally found them.

At both ends of the street, several fully armed Armored Vehicles slowly drove over, followed by a large group of combat personnel with live ammunition.

There was no need to guess; these people were here for him.

In the past, seeing this kind of formation, Chen Yusheng would definitely have run as far as he could. But now, he had enough strength to deal with it.

Passersby on the street saw the Armored Vehicles and armed personnel and fled in all directions, and the shops on both sides quickly closed and locked their doors.

In less than a minute, only Chen Yusheng and Xiao Jiu were left on the entire street.

Chen Yusheng held Xiao Jiu's hand, and a faint layer of Golden Light Incantation appeared around his body, protecting the two like a barrier.

On both sides of the street, countless machine guns and rifles were aimed at them.

"The two in front, you are surrounded, drop your resistance and surrender immediately!" A stern voice came from a loudspeaker.

"Heh." Chen Yusheng sneered and moved directly.

Surrender? That would never happen in this lifetime.

He lifted his hand and tossed Xiao Jiu into the air, instructing in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, go up there and wait for me."

As his voice fell, he condensed a bolt of lightning in his palm and slammed it toward the nearest Armored Vehicle.

After the lightning struck the Armored Vehicle, it instantly spread to the armed personnel behind it.

"Crackle—"

The sound of electricity was ear-piercing; the Armored Vehicle emitted a puff of blue smoke and stalled to a stop.

"Fire! Kill him!" The operation commander saw this and immediately gave the order.

The next second, dense gunfire erupted, and countless bullets shot toward Chen Yusheng like raindrops.

Chen Yusheng leaped into the air, rising up and dodging most of the bullets.

The few bullets that hit him were all blocked by the Golden Light Incantation around his body, leaving not even a mark.

The Golden Light Incantation was easy enough for blocking bullets, but Chen Yusheng wouldn't just stand there and take it.

In mid-air, he quickly formed hand seals and cast the Soul Capture Spell.

Once the spell was cast, all the armed personnel on both sides instantly froze in place, their eyes dull, and the movements in their hands stopped.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Yusheng charged straight into the crowd. By the time everyone regained their senses, he was already in close quarters, and their firearms had completely lost their effectiveness.

At this moment, firing a gun might not necessarily hit Chen Yusheng, but it would easily injure his teammates by mistake.

"Bang! Bang! Bang—"

Chen Yusheng unleashed his fists and kicks, his movements so fast that only afterimages remained, and one armed personnel after another was knocked unconscious to the ground. Toward these irrelevant ordinary people, he still did not use lethal force.

"How bold, to dare to run wild in the Base!"

A sharp shout suddenly came, and a young man approached at high speed, condensing a basketball-sized fireball in his palm and smashing it fiercely toward Chen Yusheng.

Chen Yusheng raised his eyes to look, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer: "An Ability User, very good!"

Compared to Chen Yusheng not using lethal force against ordinary people, this young man disregarded Chen Yusheng's position and launched such a large fireball at Chen Yusheng right from the start.

If such a large fireball smashed over and failed to hit Chen Yusheng, the other armed personnel around him would very likely suffer.

Facing this fireball technique, Chen Yusheng did not dodge; instead, just as it approached, he used his Mental Object Manipulation ability to guide it, making the fireball circle around him for half a turn before smashing it back toward the young man at an even faster speed.

"What? How is this possible!" Seeing the fireball he had launched heading toward himself, the young man could not help but be horrified.
