Chapter 114: Invisible Real Universe (5k)

The man's senses were extremely sharp, and he sensed the attack in advance. He actually jumped back despite the pressure of gravity.

boom!
The mysterious hand blasted a clear palm print on the ground.

The man jumped five meters away, freeing himself from the influence of gravity.

“I’m from the federal government.”

He raised his gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "If you are not a member of the club, I advise you to leave immediately and don't interfere in this matter, otherwise you will be wanted by the federal government."

Of course, he didn't do this out of kindness, but he felt that Shen Cheng was a little difficult to deal with, so he warned him first.

Wanted order?
Sorry, I already have a superlative one.

Shen Cheng flew down directly from the air, and seven mysterious hands launched a violent attack on the man.

"court death!"

The man had a blank expression on his face, but a hint of deep murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, exerting force with his legs and attacking Shen Cheng directly.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, extremely fierce attack and defense broke out.

The man could not see the mysterious hand, but he keenly sensed where the attack came from. His pair of iron fists were even faster than the seven hands, and in an instant they left countless afterimages.

The attack from the mysterious hand was actually beaten back by the man head-on.

Shen Cheng's heart trembled, and he did not dare to be careless.

You have to know that he is still using gravity. The man is under the suppression of gravity, fighting against the mysterious hand without being at a disadvantage.

This is an extraordinary and powerful life-type being with extremely strong melee combat capabilities.

"Is that the only extent?"

The man snorted coldly, and his strength and speed suddenly exploded exponentially. He broke through the defense of the mysterious hand with one punch and hit Shen Cheng's head.

boom!
This extremely powerful punch was blocked by a pitch-black ghost hand.

The black color on the ghost hand continued to spread upwards along the arm and reached Shen Cheng's neck. A hideous evil ghost mask emerged and covered his entire head.

A pair of scarlet eyes stared at the man.

"No wonder she's so confident, it turns out she's an old bitch with a few tricks up her sleeve."

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, "That's a close call." If he hadn't been learning from Li Kedi and exerting gravity on his body day and night to train his muscles, he might not have been able to take this punch.

"伱......"

A look of surprise appeared on the man's cold face.

According to common sense, since Shen Cheng possesses abilities like gravity and invisible hands, his body should be very weak.

Why is his body so strong?

Could it be related to the strange mask on his face?

Before the man could figure it out, Shen Cheng's ghost hand suddenly lit up.

A hot dragon fire with a temperature of up to two thousand degrees Celsius gushed out and instantly engulfed the man whole.

He reacted extremely quickly and kicked Shen Cheng, taking the opportunity to increase the distance between them.

In just a short moment, the man's body was covered with burns. His skin was burned away, exposing the muscles underneath, and even the fat was burned into oil and water.

His entire face was almost burned off, his teeth were exposed, and one of his eyes was burned.

He used to be a handsome guy with regular features, but now he has turned into an evil ghost that crawled out of a frying pan.

Shen Cheng was very surprised to see that the man was not burned to death. The hot dragon's fire was as high as two thousand degrees Celsius, which could burn the human body to ashes in a very short time.

The man was already shocked. His body was as strong as steel. He could withstand bullets without getting hurt, and could be burned by flames for a short period of time. But now he was seriously injured by Shen Cheng's flames in an instant.

What shocked him even more was how many abilities Shen Cheng had already demonstrated?

Air cannons, gravity, invisible hands, strange masks, massive physical strength, and now even powerful flames.

A multi-talented person, right?
The man ignored the severe burns on his body and made a vague sound from his throat: "What is your relationship with the Memory Messenger?"

Only the legendary Memory Messenger has the ability to use multiple powers at the same time.

"..."

Shen Cheng was speechless.

Isn't it said that the Memory Messenger is very mysterious? How come anyone knows it?

Without waiting for Shen Cheng to answer, the man suddenly muttered to himself: "Forget it, I can still find out the answer by arresting you."

Shen Cheng blinked in surprise.

Buddy, why don’t you wake up and see who has the upper hand now?

However, the man had confidence in saying this, as countless scales gleaming with a metallic luster suddenly began to grow under his muscles, covering all the injured areas.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to be wearing a tight battle armor, his hands and feet turned into claws, a thick tail dragged behind him, his face was slightly deformed, and a long snake-like tongue was sticking out.

It turned into a pangolin.

At the same time, the man's strength and momentum also surged, turning into tangible wind, blowing away the hot air around him.

"It's another demon."

Shen Cheng wasn't even surprised.

Just like the memory messenger can know any random person, any random enemy can be transformed into a demon.

The man looked like this. It was obvious that he had been injected with the demon serum.

Moreover, the degree of his demonization is not high, and the serum injected may be more advanced than Li Kedi's serum.

Because the more perfect the serum is, the less demonic characteristics it will show, and the better the effect will be.

Could this guy also be from the Living Tribunal?

Before Shen Cheng could think, the man who turned into a pangolin had already started attacking.

He leaped forward like a diver, and as he landed on the ground, he exerted force with both hands and instantly dived into the ground, leaving a pitch-black hole.

"what?"

Shen Cheng was slightly startled: "Retarded?"

Should I stay on the ground and wait for your sneak attack?
Shen Cheng used his telekinesis to make himself fly from the ground.

As soon as his feet left the ground, a tongue suddenly shot out from the ground at such a speed that people could not react. In an instant, it wrapped around Shen Cheng's ankle and pulled it hard.

Shen Cheng reacted quickly. A two thousand degree flame instantly ignited from his body, burning off the tongue that was tied around his ankles.

But he himself fell to the ground.

boom!
The ground nearby exploded, and the pangolin broke out of the ground, waving two claws strong enough to cut through steel and pounced towards Shen Cheng, directly piercing his chest.

Shen Cheng's fist and mysterious hand hit the opponent's face at the same time, knocking him away.

boom!
The two men distanced themselves from each other again. The man fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then immediately stood up. He used his claws to straighten his crooked chin and looked up at Shen Cheng.

He thought he had succeeded because no man could survive being stabbed in the chest and heart.

But when he saw Shen Cheng crawling up from the ground unharmed, and the wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The man finally broke through his defense and roared angrily: "Are you a fucking vampire?"

He possesses so many abilities and a strong body, but he is still an invincible cockroach.

How the hell do I play this?

"You can be a demon, why can't I be a vampire?"

Shen Cheng snorted coldly, feeling a little scared.

If he wasn't a vampire, he would have been in trouble by now. Who would have thought that after a man turned into a pangolin, he would have the skill of earth escape.

Sure enough, every extraordinary person has the decisive power to kill another extraordinary person, and should not be underestimated.

The man had already begun to consider giving up because he realized that he could not kill Shen Cheng at all.

Even if he used all his trump cards and special moves, he could only inflict fatal injuries on Shen Cheng.

But for a vampire, it is just a fatal wound, just like a jade virgin losing her virginity, it will pass if you just endure it.

The man had not expected to encounter a vampire in the stargazing club, and he had not brought any sulfuric acid bombs specifically designed to deal with vampires.

He is now only a demon due to the injection of demon serum, and he is not a real demon. His gastric juice is ineffective against vampires.

If we continue to fight, we will surely lose.

The man wanted to run, but Shen Cheng was ready to end the fight.

He had an extra deck of playing cards in his hand, and with the designated opportunity once a day, he casually drew a joker card and threw it at the man. Although the cursed playing cards were only two-star and a trial version, the upper limit of the joy-type ability was quite high, and it could play a certain role even against extraordinary people.

The Joker card disappeared during the flight, and the man immediately felt his strength decreased.

His face changed and he subconsciously wanted to use the earth escape technique to escape.

Shen Cheng had already raised his hand towards him. The seven mysterious hands merged into one, and a strong heart appeared in the palm of Shen Cheng's hand, gradually becoming clearer.

"A special move?!"

A fatal sense of crisis surged into the man's heart. He had rich combat experience and realized that Shen Cheng had used his ultimate move. He immediately gave up using the earth escape technique, and kicked the ground hard with his pair of thick thighs covered with scales. The whole person shot backwards like a cannonball.

This is a judgment based on rich experience. Most moves have a release distance, and they will be ineffective if the distance exceeds the limit.

The man's guess turned out to be correct. Shen Cheng's move did have a release distance, which was approximately equal to the attack distance of the mysterious hand.

As he distanced himself, the heart in Shen Cheng's hand quickly became more blurred.

"You want to run away after you fuck me?"

Of course Shen Cheng would not watch the man run away. Without waiting for his heart to clear, he closed his palms and crushed the heart in his hands.

puff!
The retreating man opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

No matter how strong his body is, his heart cannot be trained to the point where it is not afraid of attacks.

The severe injury made the man's brain feel dizzy. If he could escape at this time, he might still be saved with his strong physical fitness.

But when he woke up from the dizziness, he saw a black ghost hand rapidly enlarging in his pupils.

Snapped!
Shen Cheng pounced over and grabbed the man's neck. He used his five fingers to exert force, and his sharp claws pierced through the throat covered with scales.

The hot dragon fire gushed out from the five fingers and poured into the throat.

This time, the man with a damaged heart was completely unable to dodge. The high-temperature flames rushed into his body from his throat and then spewed out from his facial features.

In an instant, the man was transformed from the inside out into a living person, or rather a charcoal-grilled pangolin.

He opened his flaming mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Shen Cheng, but soon died.

No one knows what this pangolin will say in the end.

Shen Cheng loosened his grip, letting the man's flaming body fall to the ground.

A huge resentment emerged from his body and surged into the sky.

Shen Cheng raised his hand and absorbed the resentment.

Demon Mask: 80%
The evil ghost mask grew again, completely covering the neck and reaching the collarbone.

At this rate, by the time 100% of the resentment is absorbed, it is very likely that the shoulders and arms will be covered as well.

Can it still be called a mask? Just call it a holster.

Then, as Evil Ghost, he entered the V circle and made his grand debut!

After absorbing the resentment, Shen Cheng looked down at the roasted man again.

It's a pity that this guy is just a small fry with no dreams at all. He can provide neither abilities nor information.

However, Shen Cheng still likes this type of enemy, because they don’t have too many fancy abilities. As long as he is stronger than them in hard power, he can easily win.

Unlike vampires, it takes a lot of time and effort to kill them completely.

This was also the first time that Shen Cheng defeated a transcendent-level enemy head-on without using his true form, which meant that his combat power was already stronger than that of an ordinary transcendent.

After killing the man, Shen Cheng immediately returned to the electronic warfare vehicle, took out the mobile phone inside, and made sure that it was not damaged and the research backup inside was also intact.

The gunshots from the manor had almost disappeared. Shen Cheng rushed back immediately after getting his phone.

The manor was littered with corpses, including soldiers and servants, and even a crashed helicopter that was burning.

And this is obviously Xiao Qingque's masterpiece, and she is the only one who has the anti-air capability.

Shen Cheng immediately rushed back to the collapsed study and found Pei Mu lying on the ground, with Xiao Qingque standing beside him, looking panic-stricken.

Shen Cheng felt that Pei Mu's breathing was very weak and his life could end at any time. He was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

He thought that with Xiao Qingque's strength, he should be able to protect Pei Mu easily.

Xiao Qingque lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and apologized quietly: "I'm sorry, they used poison gas bombs, and I didn't notice it."

She was so busy dealing with the soldiers who broke into the manor from all directions that she didn't notice the helicopters dropping poison gas bombs from the sky.

By the time they discovered it, it was too late. Pei Mu, whose leg was broken by the concrete, could not escape and inhaled a lot of poisonous gas.

Shen Cheng was very helpless, but it seemed that Xiao Qingque could not be blamed, because the training Shen Cheng gave her did not include situations such as poison gas bombs.

After all, vampires are not afraid of such things, and it is Xiao Qingque’s first time to protect others and he has no experience at all.

"Cough cough cough."

Pei Mu started coughing, and Shen Cheng hurried to his side.

"Don't blame her."

Pei Mu's facial features had already begun to bleed, and he said very weakly: "Before I came here... I had already... predicted that I would die."

Shen Cheng had mixed feelings: "You can let me help you."

Pei Mu smiled bitterly, revealing his bloody mouth: "If... I don't come here in person... the club won't believe your... phone."

Shen Cheng took out the phone he had snatched back: "The backup files are still there."

Pei Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough... it was right to ask you to come with me... do you still remember our agreement?"

Shen Cheng nodded: "Give this research result to a man named Si Han."

The two agreed that after accompanying Pei Mu to retrieve the manuscript, Shen Cheng would deliver the manuscript to another person named Si Han on his behalf.

"Then...please."

Pei Mu's voice became lower and lower: "I have one more thing...I want to trouble you."

Shen Cheng grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yan Qiuli for you."

"No!"

Pei Mu's originally weak voice suddenly became full of energy, and he held Shen Cheng's hand tightly: "I have already arranged everything for Qiu Li, she can take care of herself, you don't have to worry about it!!"

This should have been a very sad moment, but Xiao Qingque almost couldn't help laughing. He quickly covered his mouth and turned his head to the side.

I don't want to hand over my apprentice to you at all!

But you took the initiative to approach him. Isn't that embarrassing?
She tried hard to hold back her laughter, because if she laughed, Shen Cheng would definitely remember it in his heart.

Shen Cheng was also a little embarrassed. Pei Mu, you old man don’t play by the rules.

Isn't it common for a person to entrust his offspring to a close friend before dying? Why do you have to make it special?

Moreover, Shen Cheng had no worldly desire for Yan Qiuli at all, and he didn't know why Pei Mu had such a big reaction.

"So what is your last wish?"

"Cremate me...and them right here."

Pei Mu's breathing began to quicken. He was already at the end of his life. "I don't want to... be dug up and dissected by the government after I die."

Shen Cheng nodded and agreed to this simple request.

Pei Mu's gaze passed Shen Cheng and looked at the dark, moonless night sky above the manor, and at the dim stars.

"You know what? The starry sky is fake... We are trapped in a huge cage... Under the shadow of the Lord of the Sky... We can't see the real universe..."

His voice gradually became weaker until it disappeared completely, and he loosened his grip on Shen Cheng's hand.

Shen Cheng reached out and smoothed Pei Mu's eyes.

He wasn't in a sad mood, after all, he had only known Pei Mu for less than a night. He just felt a little heavy.

Originally, Shen Cheng did not believe that the starry sky above his head was fake, but when he saw Pei Mu said so before he died, he could not help but believe it.

The federal government must know something about this, otherwise it would not have banned stargazing clubs from observing the starry sky, and it also sent extraordinary people and the military to seize a piece of astronomical research.

Using a cannon to kill a mosquito, is it because you like it?

Shen Cheng stood up and looked around. There were many corpses under the rubble. They were all stargazers who had come from thousands of miles away tonight.

This group of people are either rich or noble, and they are all scholars who are powerless. They have no power to resist the federal government.

But they were all like Pei Mu. Even though they knew there would be danger tonight, they still rushed here without hesitation, disregarding life and death, just to pursue the truth of the starry sky.

Shen Cheng suddenly discovered something, where was Bai Qiu Ning?
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingque: "Have you seen Bai Qiuning? Don't tell me she also inhaled the poison gas!"

If something happened to Bai Qiuning, Shen Cheng could imagine Ruan Qingsha flying from the state capital overnight to settle the score with him.
