"Superman"
Finish off all the killers in one minute?
"Hey, we're on the highway! Be careful! It's really easy to fall off!" Seeing Chen Ling actually step onto the roof of the car, 【Yao Qing】 immediately called out a well-intentioned warning. After all, based on his common knowledge of physics, Chen Ling's actions were no different from suicide.
"I ain't like no one you met before."
"I'm running for the front. When they're all running for the door."
The volume of the car's music roared in the wind. The highly rhythmic drumbeats accompanied the 【Bone-Stripping Knife】 dancing in Chen Ling's hand, which he abruptly gripped tightly in midair.
His eyes narrowed slightly...
The next moment, he took a step forward, leaping up from the roof of the speeding car, and actually stepped onto the void, hovering in midair!
His brown trench coat danced wildly in the wind. His figure hung above the highway like a god. With a light lift of his fingertips, all the surveillance cameras, dashcams, and even mobile phone recording devices on this stretch of road simultaneously failed!
Seeing that figure stepping onto the void from the roof of the car step by step, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!
"He... he he he... he's flying?!" 【Yao Qing】's brain instantly short-circuited as he watched this scene through the rearview mirror.
"What's going on?!" A killer currently driving a car also rubbed his eyes.
"Am I not awake... I think I just saw Superman..."
At the same time.
Wisps of electromagnetic light flashed through Chen Ling's pupils. His eyes clearly reflected the four vehicles rapidly chasing after them.
"Three gas cars, one electric car... An electric car? En... Good stuff."
Chen Ling reached his left hand out toward the fastest electric car and made a grabbing motion in midair. The latter's dashboard and main screen instantly went haywire, flashing meaningless circuit patterns.
Just as the two killers in the driver and passenger seats were utterly dumbfounded, the steering wheel suddenly spun wildly out of control, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, and the car crashed head-on into an adjacent vehicle!
"In a world full of followers. I'll be a leader."
"In a world full of doubters. I'll be a believer."
Boom——!!!
Under Chen Ling's overlooking gaze, the two cars collided at extremely high speeds!
The electric car instantly twisted and deformed. Blinding flames erupted from beneath the chassis. A blazing fireball exploded and tumbled across the highway, and the miserable shrieks of the two killers came to an abrupt halt.
The other car that collided with the electric car had its front half smashed to pieces by the terrifying kinetic energy. It spun and flew directly off the edge of the highway, plunging nose-first toward the ground below. A second deafening roar closely followed!
[【Audience Expectation Value】 +4]
Chen Ling stood in the void, his gaze so calm there wasn't a single ripple. In this era, electric cars were simply full of flaws to him. With a wave of his hand, he could seize all control and casually direct them toward death.
"Two left." Chen Ling looked at the two gas cars speeding past him. His body moved as if treading on clouds, turning into a bolt of brown lightning that shot out!
At this moment, the killers in the other two cars were completely terrified by what they had just witnessed.
"No, what did he just do?"
"I didn't see clearly... It looked like he just waved his hand, and those two cars crashed into each other?"
"Fuck! What terrible luck! We took a crappy job, ended up bankrupt, and ran into Superman... If I had known, I wouldn't have waded into this muddy water even if you beat me to death!"
"Superman? I don't believe in any Superman."
In the passenger seat of one of the cars, a man covered in dragon and snake tattoos spoke viciously. He pulled a 【Handgun】 from beneath his seat and racked the slide with a forceful clack!
"I'll empty a clip into him, let's see if he dies or not!"
As his words fell, a figure in brown clothes descended from the sky, landing lightly on the road ahead of their vehicle, exactly like a ghost.
"He... he's here!!" The killer driving the car instantly became incredibly nervous. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, cold sweat pouring continuously from his forehead.
"What are you afraid of? Floor the gas and run him over!"
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the man in the passenger seat. He opened the sunroof, popped his upper body out of the car, and aimed the pitch-black muzzle at Chen Ling on the road ahead.
He roared over the howling wind:
"Go to hell!!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!
The deafening gunshots rang out in rapid succession. The ejected shell casings were swept toward the back of the car by the violent wind. The man's finger continuously pulled the trigger, stubbornly emptying the entire magazine into that figure!
Chen Ling didn't dodge in the slightest. Blood-red flowers bloomed across his body. He stood like a towering mountain before the roaring vehicle. Although the bullets left him covered in cuts and bruises, they couldn't force him to retreat even half a step...
Fresh blood dripped down the hem of his coat, quickly forming a pool of blood beneath his feet. His gaze was fixed on the rapidly speeding car as his right hand slowly clenched into a fist...
"He's hit! I got him full of holes!" The killer in the passenger seat laughed maniacally. "Step on the gas!! Run him over!!"
Seeing Chen Ling injured, the killer driving finally relaxed a bit. He stomped fiercely on the accelerator. The needle on the speedometer climbed crazily, and the car roared toward Chen Ling at a speed of nearly two hundred kilometers per hour!
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters... In the blink of an eye, the vehicle sped forward amidst the roar of the engine, close enough for the two of them to clearly see the bullet holes on Chen Ling's body, the crimson blood, and...
The faint smile curving up the corners of his bloodstained mouth.
"And now I'm ready to show..."
[【Audience Expectation Value】 +4]
Chen Ling spread his legs, planting them firmly into the ground like tree roots. At the same time, a terrifying surge of power flowed out from all the wounds on his body, converging on his tightly clenched right fist.
The instant the front of the car was about to crash into Chen Ling, his pupils shrank violently, and his right fist punched through the air like a cannonball!
"I am sold out."
Boom——!!!
At the very instant the drumbeats of the car's music reached their peak, the force of Chen Ling's punch crushed the car, which carried terrifying kinetic energy, into pieces. A visible shockwave expanded outward in a ring. Incomparable power poured out from the 【Blood Raiment】!
The car's hood deformed instantly, and all the windows shattered with a bang, sending dense shards of 【Glass】 flying through the air... In this split second, Chen Ling's calm, water-like face was clearly reflected in the shrinking pupils of the two killers.
Immediately following that, their world spun wildly.
A car was smashed into scrap metal by a single punch from Chen Ling, tumbling and flipping through the air.
Chen Ling still stood firmly in place, slowly withdrawing his fist. Veins throbbed violently on his blood-colored fist, and his bloodstained trench coat fluttered lightly over the pool of blood.
He calmly turned his head and looked toward the final car trailing 【Su Zhiwei】, muttering to himself:
"...One left."
