Before Hong Jian could react, Hu's towering and muscular form had already dashed forward.
With a thunderous crash, Hong Jian's head burst open like a watermelon, his blood and brain matter mixing with fragments of his skull, scattering wildly.
Some bone fragments even embedded deeply into the stone pavement, a testament to the terrifying force of Hu's punch.
Nearby, Long Meiji, who had hurriedly arrived upon receiving orders from Gui Yongren, witnessed the scene and her eyes widened in shock.
Hong Jian was a powerhouse focused on physical prowess. Even before the global spread of Psionics, he was renowned as Sunzi's most celebrated judo master and strongman.
After the Psionic burst, his innate talents catapulted him to the status of the strongest warrior in Sunzi. In terms of physical strength, even Gui Yongren, a ninth-level superhuman, was slightly inferior to him.
And yet, what kind of monster was this dark, hulking man who could shatter Hong Jian's skull with a single punch?
Long Meiji halted in her tracks, swallowing hard. "Aren't you coming over? Why have you stopped?"
Chu Xuan turned around, addressing the voluptuous woman several hundred meters away with a faint smile.
Without hesitation, Long Meiji turned and fled. Chu Xuan chuckled lightly. "Bao, take care of her."
With a monstrous laugh, Bao's figure vanished in the blink of an eye and reappeared right in front of Long Meiji, startling her as she swallowed yet another gulp of fear.
Her speed, which she had always prided herself on, enhanced by two speed-boosting spirit companions, was supposed to be her strong suit. Yet, she had been caught up.
Long Meiji knew that fleeing was no longer an option. Only by fighting could she possibly survive.
"Giant Fireball!" she bellowed, forming hand seals swiftly, and released a massive fireball that almost completely enveloped Bao.
This was her innate talent—control over fire. Though many possessed this type of ability, she had developed hers to an unprecedented level. With just a thought, she could alter the fire's size and shape, even shaping it into vivid forms like firebirds or firewolves to attack her enemies.
But not content with just that, Long Meiji immediately channeled more Psionic energy into four talismans, sealing off all directions around Bao to trap him completely.
"Such measures should make it foolproof..." Long Meiji sighed in relief, thinking she had played her final card. The man before her couldn't possibly escape and would have to withstand her attack directly, giving her a chance to escape...

Suddenly, she felt a chilling sensation in her chest. Looking down, she found a blade wreathed in cold flames piercing through her ample bosom. "Wasn't he... supposed to be sealed by me..."
In her final moments, confusion flooded her mind. Why had her meticulously crafted talismans failed to restrain this enemy?
She couldn't have known that Bao possessed an innate ability called Shadow Step. Unlike spells learned by cultivators, the innate abilities of a corpse puppet didn't require casting, gestures, or even the consumption of Spiritual Qi, and could be activated in the blink of an eye.
Long Meiji's talismans had only just been deployed and were still mid-air when Bao used Shadow Walk, appearing behind her. What she saw was merely an afterimage left by his high-speed movement. freewebnovel.cσ๓
