Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 48 - 29 Qin Secret Skill
48: Chapter 29 Qin Secret Skill
48 -29 Qin Secret Skill
Trapped by the enemy’s superpower, his strongest weapon had been stripped away, and now he was about to face a combat battle with fixed rules.
Under such unfavorable conditions, what should he do?
—Naturally, he would try to exploit the loopholes in the rules!
Whether it was brass knuckles, the black sword, or even the bizarre equipment in the factory, everything he had envisioned was intended to avoid direct combat as the primary goal.
Gongsun Ce had a clear understanding of his close combat skills; without using his superpower, he couldn’t even beat a female college student, and wrestling with a muscular man would practically be akin to seeking death.
That’s why he had to rack his brains to win the raw duel with wisdom and intellect, and now the method he was using undoubtedly showcased his intelligence…
weighing a hefty 20 tons!
“Come on!
I’ll crush you with a dump truck!!”
The man with sunglasses turned and ran.
“Goddamn it, Gongsun Ce, you dare to use such despicable means in a fair duel!!”
From the driver’s seat, Gongsun Ce yelled back with a volume not inferior to his: “Spare me that!
I can’t use my strongest weapon, yet I have to fight a duel under the rules you set, favoring what you’re good at.
It’s really brazen of you to talk about fairness!”
Xu Junyi ran towards a diagonal direction, attempting to escape from the danger area since the dump truck was slow to start and hard to steer.
But the noise behind him grew louder, and the sense of impending crisis became even greater!
He looked back, his eyes wide in shock: “How can this be—!”
The sandy-colored dump truck was fast on his heels, closing the gap between them faster than he had expected!
The Superpower User’s voice came through the shattered glass: “Forgot to tell you, this truck is locally manufactured.
You can guess what model it matches when you feel the impact.”
At that moment, Gongsun Ce’s posture was extremely odd; he was holding the steering wheel with one hand that wasn’t wearing a gauntlet, while the mechanical gauntlet he had specifically made was aimed at the rear of the cabin.
From an angle Xu Junyi couldn’t see, the mechanical gauntlet on his hand shot backward, a crimson iron fist piercing through the driving cab and into the cargo carried by the dump truck.
Dust mingled with black particles fluttered within the cabin.
If the middle-aged man with sunglasses had seen this, he might have guessed something.
Unfortunately, the current Xu Junyi was too busy fleeing through the construction site to even look back.
“Using a debris truck to hit people, you’ve got guts!”
The young man’s face showed no sign of guilt: “You said that losing here wouldn’t mean actual death, so what else should I worry about?
Lies can’t be spoken inside the Impermanence Skill’s domain, and that’s your own rule, isn’t it?”
Gongsun Ce floored the gas pedal, and the dump truck thundered forward at full speed!
The man in the windbreaker realized he couldn’t escape.
But with a loud shout, Xu Junyi made a desperate leap into the air, the sandy-yellow hood scraping his spine as he disappeared from the young man’s view in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
Merely brushed by the hood, the burly man flew through the air like a ragdoll!
A dust cloud rose on a sand dune half a construction site away, where a brown figure lay amidst it.
He must have lost his ability to fight…
anyone seeing this would think so, even commonfolk who had never seen a car accident would think the same!
“…”
Yet, Gongsun Ce veered in a different direction, continuing to drive the vehicle to ram again.
The feel of the steering wheel in his hand was still real, the gauntlet having just returned to his right arm—all this indicated that their duel wasn’t over yet.
Desolate Form Mages should take pride in physical strength.
It couldn’t be that Manifestation Realm’s Xu Junyi would be defeated that easily.
Could it be an alien transformation like those of Xing people, or had he turned into a monster like those from Tierlos?
With no intelligence to make further guesses, he could only rely on the handful of weapons in his hand to continue the fight.
The dump truck rumbled forward, the young man with gray hair coldly watched the man getting closer: “Come, let’s create another impact.”
“You can’t do it anymore…
damn kid, you think I, Xu Junyi, am out of options?
You think I’d let you humiliate me!”
“Listening to your full-throated shout, you seem to be fine, aren’t you without any super abilities now?
Relying on a Desolate Form Mage’s physical prowess in hand-to-hand combat, who’s humiliating who, eh?
Return my superpower first before you talk.”
The giant dragon adherent went silent.
He couldn’t see the expression on the man’s face, but from the robust panting, it was evident that his emotions had significantly deviated from calm…
He was truly enraged now!
“Ha!”
The robust man tossed his windbreaker forward.
The brown windbreaker covered the windscreen in front of the driver’s seat, obscuring Gongsun Ce’s view significantly!
The young man with gray hair smashed the glass with his gauntlet, pulling the windbreaker into the cab.
He sharply turned the steering wheel, trying to hit his opponent with the side of the vehicle—
“!”
Gongsun Ce realized he had made the wrong decision.
He initially thought the man would use the windbreaker to block his view and lunge forward, which is why he had specifically turned the vehicle to avoid his attack.
But now he realized that Xu Junyi hadn’t attacked with his body as he had expected… instead, the man was standing unmoved in the sand.
Except now he held a new weapon in his hands: a bundle of threaded steel bars piled on the ground!
Xu Junyi lifted the steel bars like a baseball bat, shouting, “Qin Secret Skill!”
“You know this move too?!”
Qin Secret Skill, a heritage martial art of the Qin family, is a deadly technique Miss Qin Qianbai would use only in serious fights.
Upon hearing those three words, the young man immediately abandoned the idea of continuing to drive.
He kicked open the passenger door vigorously and leapt out in the direction away from his opponent!
“Mountain Piercing!”
In the next instant, thick steel bars burst through the side door, piercing the driver’s cabin from end to end!
The unmanned dump truck, propelled by its inertia, surged forward, while Xu Junyi used the steel bars to leap onto the roof, from which he searched out his detestable enemy below and ferociously jumped down.
“Sunken Land!”
Without needing to witness its power firsthand, the young man could imagine from the name of the move how forceful and fierce that punch would be!
Gongsun Ce instinctively rolled on the ground, a move that saved his life: he was only sent flying by the residual shockwave of the steel fist, narrowly escaping being split in two!
The giant dragon worshiper’s rage-fueled strike created a deep pit at the construction site, the force of the explosion imprinting circular patterns around the crater.
Xu Junyi slowly rose to his feet, glaring intently at the young man not far away, “Come on, kid.
Let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.”
Supporting himself on his knees, Gongsun Ce stood up from the ground.
He noticed bloodstains at the corners of the giant dragon worshiper’s mouth, and his posture was not as stable as before, slightly floating.
The dump truck’s surprise attack had not been in vain; Xu Junyi must have sustained serious injuries, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dodged that punch.
“Let me think…
Ah, how about a simple provocation?
Being an official Impermanence Law Enforcer of the Empire, you should unavoidably hold some office and know the principles of protecting the country and ensuring public peace.
Yet here you are abandoning your duties to chase after the Evil Dragon and attacking civilians like me with your powers.
Such shameful actions, I wonder if they betray who you once were in your youth.”
Xu Junyi, about to throw a punch, halted his movements upon hearing these words.
“How do you know I am…”
The Superpower User brushed the dust from his clothes, “Not even deductive reasoning, simply process of elimination.
From your name, Xu Junyi, you evidently aren’t a member of the Qin family, yet you employ their techniques, so you must have learned from someone in the Qin family.
Without official backing, how else would you gain access to a Qin family instructor?
If this tells anything…
I guess the reason you walked this path relates to the Dragon Disaster from ten years ago.”
“…”
The middle-aged man lowered his fist.
Upon hearing the word ‘Dragon Disaster,’ he fell into a strange silence.
Perhaps because he was utterly confident that he could handle the student before him, or maybe, he was curious to hear why the other had come to such a conclusion…
Pushing up his glasses, Gongsun Ce spoke unflustered, “Considering recent dragon-related calamities that shocked the world, aside from the destruction of the country three years ago, it’s only the Dragon Disaster ten years back.
Being an official of the Empire, it’s undoubtedly more plausible you encountered the latter, and as someone from the Manifestation Realm, you would’ve been affected by the Evil Dragon for a longer time than your peers.
You were influenced by the Dragon Disaster while aiding Ruoshui City, am I right, Mr.
Xu Junyi?”
“…You’re wrong.”
The middle-aged man relaxed his fist and stared at his palm, “I was born and raised in Ruoshui City…
during that year, I had returned home to visit when I witnessed Its descent.”
The Superpower User fell silent, thinking he should express his condolences; however, he then realized that the man before him was attempting to rekindle a tragedy in the celestial capital.
Eventually, he said softly, “I’m sorry…
but you must understand why I have to stop you.”
The middle-aged man coldly replied, “Your apology just shows your ignorance and naivety.
Do you think my family died?
They were supposed to become residents of the new world, enjoying eternal glory under the illumination of God…
The Empire destroyed all that.”
Xu Junyi’s hand trembled slightly, his body stiffening as painful memories surged into reality, “Since I arrived in this city, I have been in constant agony.
The grieving cries of the Dragon of the Vaulted Sky from ten years ago still echo in my ears, yet the ignorant citizens of this city remain unaware.
They stand on the shoulders of God, trampling over the head of the giant.”
“They even transformed the body of God into this…!” He clenched his fist again and sprang like a ferocious beast, “This Eternal Empire killed God.
It’s human ignorance that harmed my family!!
Self-righteous boy, you think you’re saving the world?
You are just like them, executioners harming life!!”
A dull thud resonated, and the man’s body halted in place.
The fist that should have struck the young man’s face was intercepted by a crimson iron fist in mid-air.
“Turn humans into bodiless mists, bind them with stone into statues…
And you call that ‘eternity’?
Dare you to name those who stop them executioners?”
Gongsun Ce firmly grabbed the man’s right fist.
“Shut up, Xu Junyi.”
At that moment, the young man felt true rage. freewebnøvel.com
Overwhelming the fury encountered during the battle with Tierlos, exceeding the anger during negotiations with the masked man, a rage born from within engulfed his reason, driving him to lash out recklessly at the man.
“Get lost—!”
Xu Junyi’s knee collided with his stomach.
“Stop monologuing!
You’re not the only survivor from the giant dragon phenomenon!!”
At the same time, the enraged young man smashed his fist onto the enemy’s face.
