Chapter 52: A Gang Beatdown? Mere Rabble

Boom!

The fireball reversed its path and smashed fiercely into the young man.

Seeing the fireball flying toward him, the young man scrambled to dodge, but the fireball seemed to have eyes; it swerved abruptly and slammed precisely into his head.

"Ah!"

The fireball burned wildly the moment it touched him, and the young man let out a shrill scream instantly.

This scene left everyone stunned.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and those who hadn't been knocked unconscious by Chen Yusheng immediately scattered and fled.

Although they were Base security officers, their monthly salary was meager, and it wasn't worth risking their lives for others.

The opponent was a powerful Ability User, and they were merely ordinary people; they couldn't afford to provoke him.

Chen Yusheng ignored the fleeing people and looked up to see Xiao Jiu standing on the roof of the fifth floor, watching him.

He hadn't let Xiao Jiu join the battle because, although she was a Zombie King, her combat strength was not considered high.

Once the remaining people had run off, Chen Yusheng's gaze immediately turned to the opposite side.

The people on the other side also realized his intent, and someone immediately shouted: "Open fire!"

Bang, bang, bang! Rat-tat-tat!

The next second, rifle and machine gun bullets rained down on Chen Yusheng like splashing water.

Chen Yusheng leaped, springing over ten meters high like a flea, dodging most of the bullets.

By the time he landed, he had already charged into the crowd.

Crackle, pop!

Ah—ah—

A continuous series of screams rang out as one person after another fell to the ground.

"Run!"

Seeing Chen Yusheng enter the crowd like a tiger among sheep, with bullets unable to harm him in the slightest, the group instantly collapsed and scattered to save their lives again.

It was the same old saying: for this bit of salary, it wasn't worth risking one's life.

Once everyone had run away, only a few Armored Vehicles remained at the scene.

The people inside the vehicles were terrified and dared not move; they had seen clearly the scene earlier where Chen Yusheng had disabled an Armored Vehicle with a single bolt of lightning.

"Hmm? A group of Ability Users has arrived?"

Chen Yusheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Xiao Jiu had just told him via Spiritual Power that a group of people was coming from the rooftops.

He tapped his foot and leaped onto the fifth-floor roof, looking around; sure enough, a large number of Ability Users were jumping across the rooftops, rushing toward him at high speed.

They were extremely fast; in less than thirty seconds, several people had jumped onto the roof adjacent to where Chen Yusheng and Xiao Jiu were, with a large crowd following closely behind.

Chen Yusheng stood where he was, motionless.

As a powerhouse in the Condensing Origin Realm, he no longer feared any Ability Users.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Base?" a middle-aged man asked in a deep, stern voice.

Chen Yusheng did not answer, waiting quietly for the others to arrive.

Soon, the middle-aged man's gaze fell upon Xiao Jiu, and his pupils shrank abruptly upon seeing her blood-red eyes.

"A Zombie King!"

"It's actually a Zombie King! You have some nerve, daring to break into our Fubei Base. Truly, there is a path to heaven you refuse to take, and a gate to hell you insist on crashing through!"

Upon confirming it was a Zombie King, the middle-aged man became excited instead.

If they were outside, with the Zombie King leading a large horde of Sangshi, they truly wouldn't be able to do anything; but now that the Zombie King had dared to penetrate deep into a human Base, it would be much easier to kill her.

It was truly a case of "what you spend all your time searching for is actually right under your nose without any effort at all!"

While the middle-aged man was speaking, more than thirty other Ability Users arrived, surrounding Chen Yusheng and Xiao Jiu.

"Who here is from the He Family? I have come today to settle things with the He Family; those who are not from the He Family may leave now." Chen Yusheng scanned the crowd, his tone flat.

He had restored his original appearance, expecting that these people should recognize him.

"Hmph! A dog controlled by a Zombie King, yet you still dare to be arrogant!" a young man provoked.

Chen Yusheng's eyes turned cold; he looked at the young man and raised his hand, firing a bolt of thunder he had already condensed.

The lightning was fast to the extreme, striking the provocateur instantly.

Thud!

The young man's body smoked as he fell straight to the ground.

Chen Yusheng had used the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique; a single strike carbonized half of his body, and the moment he hit the ground, the carbonized remains shattered and scattered everywhere.

Hiss—

Everyone gasped; this power was simply too terrifying.

"Everyone, attack together! Kill him and this Zombie King!" someone in the crowd shouted.

As the words fell, all the Ability Users attacked simultaneously, and countless ability attacks bombarded Chen Yusheng. Fireballs, water arrows, ice blades, wind blades, metal darts... a dizzying array, covering the sky and earth.

"You are all seeking your own deaths."

Chen Yusheng raised his hand, condensing a massive Golden Light Incantation to shield himself and Xiao Jiu in the center.

In truth, he could have taken Xiao Jiu and flown into the sky, but after breaking through to the Condensing Origin Realm, he wanted to test just how strong the Golden Light Incantation really was.

Pushing the Golden Light Incantation to its full potential consumed over a hundred units of True Qi instantly, and maintaining it would cost several more units every second thereafter.

Bang, bang, bang!

Countless ability attacks smashed into the Golden Light Incantation one after another, but they were all blocked, merely causing the True Qi consumption to rise from several units per second to over a dozen.

As expected of a Taoist protective divine incantation, its power is outrageously strong.

"Xiao Jiu, you go up to the sky and wait first; I will come to deal with them," Chen Yusheng instructed.

"Alright, Brother!" Xiao Jiu responded, kicked off with both feet, and flew straight into the high sky.

Chen Yusheng raised his hand to summon, and a long sword appeared out of thin air; under the infusion of True Qi, the blade was instantly covered with a layer of sharp Qi radiance.

He looked at the Ability Users on the roof of the adjacent building, simultaneously activating Light Body Technique, Wind Control Technique, and Mental Object Manipulation.

In an instant, he had already vanished from the roof.

In less than a second, he appeared on the roof of the opposite building.

Swish, swish, swish!

Chen Yusheng swung his sword like lightning, showing no mercy to these Ability Users.

Ordinary people might be acting under orders, but these Ability Users had actively attacked him, so that was courting death.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

His speed was so fast that the crowd could not react at all; as the sword shadows flashed by, the Ability Users were either decapitated or cut in half at the waist one by one.

Thump! Thump!

Two seconds later, the sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground finally rang out one after another.

In less than ten seconds, all five Ability Users on this roof were dead.

At this moment, another wave of ability attacks came toward him, but Chen Yusheng ignored them, his gaze turning toward the roof of another building.

Crackle!

A bolt of lightning struck out, instantly hitting an Ability User on the roof, and the electric current then connected, shocking everyone on the roof until they fell.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Those who were hit fell straight down; two of them had been standing on the guardrail and fell directly from the roof, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Chen Yusheng raised his eyes again and looked at the remaining people.

At this time, everyone saw that Chen Yusheng had killed a dozen of them in just over ten seconds, and everyone was terrified to the core.

Without hesitation, everyone retreated rapidly and then turned tail and ran.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yusheng's expression turned cold, and then his entire body flew directly into the sky, after which he chased after a middle-aged man who was leading them.

"Chen Hai, let's talk this over, let's talk this over..."

Seeing Chen Yusheng flying in the sky like a god of slaughter chasing after him, the middle-aged man was so scared that he hurriedly opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

It really couldn't be blamed on him for having no backbone; it was mainly because Chen Yusheng's combat power was too terrifying.

More than thirty of their Ability Users had attacked the opponent at the same time, yet the opponent had actually taken it all head-on.

One had to know that among their group, one of them was even a top-tier Ability User.

If he had only taken their ability attacks head-on, that would be one thing; at most, it could only prove that his defense was very powerful.

But what was even more horrifying was that this Chen Hai's attacks were also outrageously strong.

In a mere dozen seconds, a dozen of the Ability Users on their side had been killed in the blink of an eye, a direct loss of one-third of their manpower.

Most importantly, the opponent could actually fly; wasn't this going to cost them their lives! It was impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.

You are running on the ground, and the other person is flying in the sky; how can you escape?

Under such circumstances, if it were anyone else, who wouldn't be afraid?

"Chen Hai, we were wrong, we were wrong; don't make a move yet, listen to me, we initially thought you were controlled by the Zombie King, which is why we attacked you, but now it seems that is completely not the case..." The middle-aged man shouted hurriedly toward Chen Yusheng, fearing that if he shouted a second too late, he would be attacked by Chen Yusheng.

"Heh! That wasn't your attitude just now." Chen Yusheng hovered in the air, smiling contemptuously at the middle-aged man.

"Yes, it is our fault." The middle-aged man hurriedly admitted his mistake.

In order to survive, he had abandoned all his dignity.

"You want me to let you go? Fine, tell me where the people of the He Family are; you must all know about the feud between me and the He Family, right?" Chen Yusheng said in a flat tone.
