Chapter 5 Stepping Stones

[…It’s hard to deal with, the steel pipe on the side…sneak attack]

The other party's intermittent voice came.

Xu Cheng moved his steps while observing the burly man in front of him with interest.

The faint blue light gradually disappeared under his skin, and then appeared in his pupils again.



If Xu Cheng witnessed Han Xing's battle, then he would definitely be able to see the biggest difference between the two.

It was also a faint blue light, but the one on Han Xing was obviously much more "stable" than that of the burly man.

Obviously, regarding the method of controlling this faint blue light, the witnesses' methods are far better than those of the Star Chamber of Commerce.

But Xu Cheng’s focus is not here either.

Now, he is more interested in the small blue crystal in the burly man's hand, which is what the other man calls the "original energy block".

For Xu Cheng, that was his stepping stone into the extraordinary world!



Xu Cheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood on his arm.

Then, he returned to his calm standing posture.

The burly man obviously didn't understand Xu Cheng's intention. Although the decisive battle between the two was imminent, Xu Cheng acted as if the battle was over.

Only Xu Cheng himself knows his thoughts.

In a one-on-one situation, it would be a bit inelegant to act as rough as before.

The first contact with an extraordinary person - even if the other person is just a rotten fish, you still have to savor it.

This is exquisiteness that belongs only to the elderly.

He stood upright on the spot, put his left hand behind his back, spread his right hand, and slightly raised his palm towards the burly man.

The cigarette in his mouth is burning slowly.

A wisp of soot fell in the wind, and at that moment, the burly man suddenly made a move.

He swung out his fist and hit Xu Cheng in the face.

It was obviously an amateur's action, but it became extremely fast due to the increase in the original energy block.

The bones of an ordinary person might not even be able to withstand a punch!

But Xu Cheng only took half a step back.

It was precisely this half-step gap that made the burly man unable to find a point of exertion, and his punch failed!

With the extraordinary brute force in his body, the burly man immediately adjusted his posture and threw his next punch.

But the same scene happened again.

Just by moving his steps slightly, the burly man's fist missed again, unable to touch Xu Cheng at all!

[Missed... old guy... beaten to death...]

The other party's voice came intermittently, and Xu Cheng could clearly feel many "changes" taking place in the burly man's body.

The power of the attacks is getting stronger and faster, but the movements are obviously much rougher.

Combined with the increasingly chaotic thoughts, it was not difficult for Xu Cheng to judge that the burly man's "reason" was gradually collapsing!

Is it a side effect of using the original energy block?

How did the witnesses of Han Xing overcome this flaw?

Xu Cheng wrote down this information one by one, and then continued to dodge the burly man's fist, fully expecting the opponent's next trump card.

But Xu Cheng is destined to be disappointed.

Because except for the greatly enhanced speed and strength, the burly man did not have any visible physical changes.

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng suddenly stopped and allowed the burly man to punch himself in the face!

boom!

It was like the sound of a hammer hitting directly, but Xu Cheng still stood upright, not even a drop of nosebleed came out.

Facing Xu Cheng, who was already prepared for an attack, the mere "iron hammer" could not shake even an inch!

The burly man was completely panicked.

The chaotic thoughts in my mind were completely violent.

He went crazy and grabbed a steel pipe on the scaffolding not far away, aimed at Xu Cheng's head and hit it hard.

At that moment, Xu Cheng suddenly raised his arms and slapped the burly man's head hard on both sides with his two palms!

The two peaks penetrate the ears!

Two small streams of blood mist spurted out from the burly man's left and right ears.

He felt like his mind was spinning, and his vision became blurry.

In this dazed moment, the burly man suddenly realized that his hand had been opened at some point, and Xu Cheng took away the faintly glowing original energy block.

【What is he...】

The thoughts in his mind did not last for a moment, Xu Cheng suddenly retracted his right fist, and then hit the burly man's chest hard!

boom!

If the burly man's fist is a "hammer", then Xu Cheng's punch is tantamount to a "rock crusher".

The burly man seemed to hear the terrifying sound of his broken ribs piercing his heart!

Then, his eyes went black.



About ten minutes later.

Chu Qianqian made up an excuse of "I have to take piano lessons tonight" and said goodbye to Han Xing.

The latter had just dealt with three people from the Star Chamber of Commerce, learned of their plan in the back alley, and was ready to take action, so he decisively agreed.

The two agreed to contact each other by phone.

In order to take a shortcut, Chu Qianqian came to the back alley ahead of Han Xing and others.

As soon as she walked in here, she smelled a strong smell of blood, and then saw the tragic scene in the back alley.

No one survived the scene!

Extreme weapon fighting?

As the underground champion of Haicheng, Chu Qianqian has to come into contact with those who hide in the shadows of Haicheng in her daily life, so she has naturally seen similar incidents.

The lights in the back alley were dim, and she had no intention of being a private detective, so she just paused her steps to make sure no one was around to notice her, and then left quickly.

As soon as Chu Qianqian left, Han Xing also took a step back and came to the back alley.

He obviously didn't expect this scene.

After carefully examining each corpse, Han Xing couldn't help but frown.

Everyone in the Star Chamber of Commerce is dead...

It was not done by the witnesses, so who did it?

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Han Xing notified the professionals among the witnesses to come to the scene to investigate and clean up.

[Fortunately, Miss Chu did not pass through the back alley. The witnesses and the Star Chamber of Commerce cannot be known to ordinary people...]



On the rooftop of a building far away in the back alley.

Xu Cheng used binoculars to see clearly what happened in the back alley.

His taste is relatively bland.

But even so, he still ate more salt than Han Xing ate.

Therefore, there were no clues left in the back alley to reveal his identity. The witnesses could at most deduce that a mysterious person killed those members of the Star Chamber of Commerce.

Then Xu Cheng put away the telescope and put the dress on his shoulders.

He began to carefully examine the "original energy block" that shone with a faint blue light in his hand.

Like those old men who stared at their grandson's game console, Xu Cheng couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart:

"How does this thing work?"

While he was studying, he returned home alone, then locked himself in his room and continued to study.

The method of use for burly men is obviously similar to "external application".

Xu Cheng also imitated his appearance, placing the original energy block in his palm, and then clenched it tightly with his five fingers!

There was only a "click" sound.

...not good.

Xu Cheng opened his palm and found that the entire piece of blue crystal had been broken into powder.

Xu Cheng: "..."

After being silent for a long time, Xu Cheng chose to put the pile of powder into a small glass bottle, planning to study it slowly later.

On the other side, Qianqian also called back and said that she had to work on a project all night, so that her father should not worry.

This is of course an excuse.

Qianqian was probably drinking a flat Coke while wrapping a bandage on her fist, preparing to step onto the underground arena filled with the smell of blood and cheers.

Xu Cheng also had nothing to do. After sorting out today's notes, he just stared at the original energy block powder in the glass bottle.

I stared at it all night.

Slowly and leisurely, I fell asleep lying on the table.

I slept until the early morning of the next day.

Xu Cheng opened his eyes and suddenly felt relaxed for no reason.

Could it be that the original energy block also has the function of calming the mind and sleeping? What kind of extraordinary world item is this?!

Suddenly, a voice came from Xu Cheng's ear.

The voice seemed to have been gone for a long time, but it was still very familiar to Xu Cheng.

He hadn't heard it in three years—

"I'm so sleepy. Make me a cup of coffee, okay?"

Xu Cheng nodded subconsciously, as he had been familiar with for more than twenty years.

"okay."

He raised his head and went to look for the equipment for making coffee on the cabinet nearby, but suddenly he remembered that those things had been sealed in the box by him, and replaced by a photo.

The girl in the photo is in her prime and has a beautiful smile.

On the other side of the table, there was an identical girl smiling, as if she only existed in a dream.

"Old... old woman?"



Damn it.
