Chapter 1291: Destroyed with a Punch!

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Sheyan did not fear the Physique and close combat skills of the future humans at all, but when it came to energy weapons, he dared not get careless. He had never doubted one thing — he could kill Lieutenant General Mungo as easily as swatting a fly, but he would surely face a counter attack from various powerful energy weapons afterwards, and he would probably not be able to leave Mungo’s office alive!

He had personally witnessed a shot from the main cannon of an Atlantic-class spaceship before. The power of the shot could even annihilate an entire planet! Any living creature must maintain the most fundamental fear of energy weapons from a genetic level!

Fortunately, the consumption of energy weapons had always been their limiting factor. The more powerful a weapon was, the more energy it needed to consume, and the bigger its size. Energy weapons that could threaten Sheyan’s life were at least the level of a tank’s main cannon. It was still impossible for current technology to produce a standardised individual-use weapon that could threaten Sheyan.

Ramtas knew about Sheyan’s wariness of energy weapons. He did not even wait for Sheyan’s orders and had already shot two more bristles. The first bristle pierced into the modified man’s left shoulder and immediately caused the spot to explode.

The other bristle sent him flying at least five meters back. Amidst a series of explosions, black smoke billowed and electric sparks dazzled. The man had become a heap of steel parts mixed with flesh!

Seeing this, the man with sunglasses could no longer watch on with folded arms. He stepped in front of the sitting young man with an unbelievable speed and coldly said, “Who are you? Do you know who my master is? Never mind an accident, if he lost even a single hair, Alps Base 7 will be turned upside down!”

***

Old Charlie had already retreated. He could sense a terrifying threat from the man in sunglasses. He also relayed some important information to Sheyan.

He could not ascertain the identity of the pale, sinister-looking young man, but he could confirm two things.

First, his skin carried a blue tint and his blood vessels were very prominent. These were signs of mild poisoning. There was a kind of drug called “heat” that was very popular among the social circles of the young nobles of the Empire. It was similar to cocaine on Old Earth, but the difference was that “heat” would only cause minimal harm to the body and was not addictive. It would also cause a weak, illness-like state which was very fashionable.

Second, he was wearing a very unique coat. The uniqueness of its style goes without saying, but it was actually made from the rare blue dugong skin!

Blue dugongs were a kind of space creatures that only existed on planets near the centre of the Milky Way. They had a similar appearance to the dugongs (mermaids) on Old Earth. They had especially tenacious life. Their eggs could even survive in space for a long time by absorbing energy from the core of the Milky Way. But once they left the core of the galaxy, they would die.

After undergoing a special treatment, blue dugong skin could be worn as a bullet-proof vest. It would also constantly absorb the energy of the universe to enhance the wearer’s body. Therefore, it was extremely valuable. Put it this way — a Pi element ingot may not necessarily be able to buy a large piece of blue dugong skin!

Therefore, this young man’s identity was evidently not that simple. In terms of political power, he may not be as powerful as Mungo, a local tyrant of a piece of territory, but in terms of status, he may be far above Mungo. When he said that he did not want to see Mungo, he might not be bluffing!

However, Sheyan had his own pride. Since he had obviously offended this guy to the point where reconciliation was impossible, he must eliminate him here and now to prevent future troubles! It was definitely not in Sheyan’s personality to pin his hopes on another’s generosity. A rock blocking his way must be kicked away. And if the thing blocking his way was something which could cause serious consequences, then Sheyan would dig a grave and bury it inside!

So, the threatening words of the man in sunglasses had no effect on Sheyan at all. The only reply the man got was a sharp bristle launched his way!

But the man in sunglasses actually caught the bristle with his bare hand. Then, from his fist, a sudden blue flame burst out, burning the bristle clean.

Sheyan was shocked. “This feeling...is so familiar. Did this fellow come from that place, too?”

The man in sunglasses suddenly vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Sheyan, less than a meter away.

That was obviously instantaneous teleportation – an authentic one – because no damage could be seen on the walls of the box. Even more bizarre was the fact that the man could actually locate Sheyan. Sheyan had been hiding deep inside the box from the very beginning, and nobody had seen him. The man in sunglasses could actually determine Sheyan’s exact location through his breathing alone. Such a strong battle instinct was truly fearsome.

The man in the sunglasses was unarmed. He simply sliced at Sheyan’s neck with his palm.

Sheyan cocked his head, avoiding the slice. The man’s palm slammed into the wall next to him. Horrifying cracks immediately appeared around the spot that was struck. It seemed that this man had also modified his body into a weapon.

Ramtas let out a furious howl as he swung his staff at the man, but the man evaporated into thin air again. He reappeared behind Sheyan a moment later.

It was that weird teleportation ability again. Not only did he avoid Ramtas’ attack, he had also ingeniously positioned himself in Sheyan’s blind spot. It was a textbook execution of the stratagem “stay clear of the enemy’s main force and strike at his weak point”. Considering his exceptional mobility, he had nothing to fear even if Old Charlie took this opportunity to attack his master in order to force him back!

The man in sunglasses stared at his opponent’s back. He had already lost count of the number of times he had experienced something similar to this. As if he were programmed, he launched a punch as he always did in this situation. The goddamn instructor’s voice seemed to echo in his ears.

“Ten centimeters into this spot is the enemy’s heart. As long as you have enough strength, you can make the enemy’s heart stop with a single punch!”

“This spot contains the enemy’s spleen. If you want to delay the enemy’s death for ten hours, strike this spot with 70% of your full strength. After that, the enemy’s spleen will slowly rupture due to coughing and vigorous activities, and his blood will fill his abdominal cavity within an hour!”

“Do you see this rib? Now look at my hand. Clench your fist like this! Strike this rib with your slightly protruding middle finger, and the broken rib will pierce into the enemy’s lung, causing hemopneumothorax. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he’ll become a sheep waiting for slaughter after that! ”

“If you want to give the enemy a lifetime of suffering, attack this part of his spine. That’s right! He’ll become incontinent, impotent, have bedsores and will remain bedridden for the rest of his life! ”

“.....”

A flurry of storm-like attacks struck the enemy in front of sunglasses guy! In this moment, he felt that his attacks were perfect, flowing smoothly out of him like water. He felt that his skills had reached a new height!

It was easy for him to kill someone, but to beat a person to the brink of death and yet not crossing that final line, like he was doing now, was a level of perfection. It was the first time he had managed to achieve this!

That’s right, he had no intention of killing this unruly young man.

First, those high purity Pi element particles were simply too attractive. He needed to leave this young man alive to trace their source from his mouth, so as to obtain more Pi element particles.

Second, he knew that his master must be in a foul mood right now, so he would want to vent his anger on this young man. Whether his master would carve off his flesh piece by piece to feed the piranhas or chop off his limbs to make furniture with, was none of his concern.

But when sunglasses guy stopped his attack because he thought he had finished the job, he was surprised to find that the muscular body in front of him did not collapse into a heap on the floor like he expected. Instead, he felt something like a steel shackle latching onto his wrist. When he looked down at his wrist, he found that it was being gripped by a hand.

The young man in front of him turned around. At that moment, sunglasses guy felt an unspeakable pressure emanating from the enemy, which made him feel suffocated. The words from the man’s mouth made his heart sink.

“You should be a product developed by the Big Ben Research Institute. Which Ten Strongest replica are you?”

“You....”

“Someone as weak as you have the audacity to stand in front of me?” Sheyan suddenly grinned, and the teeth he revealed felt as fierce as the fangs of wild beasts. “One punch! You’ve hit me so many times, but it’s fine, I’ll just return one single punch. If you can survive this punch, I’ll let you leave!”

The pupils of sunglasses man contracted abruptly. A great fear crept into his eyes. With a snap, he actually severed the left wrist caught by Sheyan himself, then activated his teleportation ability to flee! He instantly vanished into thin air!

But where could he escape to, in front of Sheyan’s Perceptive Sense?

Sunglasses man reappeared beside his master, trying to escape with him using his special power, but Sheyan instantly activated his own teleportation ability, the ‘Mind Transmission’ on his dark gold ring. He immediately caught up to the opponent and swung his fist.

One punch!

With a single punch, Sheyan showed his frightening might as an Awakener!!

The punch hit sunglasses man in the chest, immediately smashing him to bits, as if a bomb was detonated inside his body! Even the hardest part of his body, his skull, was smashed to pieces. He died a horrible death!
