Chapter 410: Crushing Step

Words : 1886 Updated : Oct 13th, 2025

Gai Er didn't give any warning before making his move, and this strike was swift and fierce, very sudden. Most people would react cautiously to such a move. Chen Chuan's eyes reflected the gradually enlarging point of the staff, yet he stood there without any intention to move. The tip of the staff stopped just a short distance from his face with a clang, not advancing further. Through precise judgment, he determined that this strike would stop at this distance, and the opponent's energy field told him that this was just a feint, with the real killing move coming later, depending on his reaction. Indeed, seeing that he didn't dodge, Gai Er quickly made a follow-up change. He pushed the last section of the three-section staff forward, and with layers of strength, the three connected rods instantly transformed into a real long staff, piercing through the air and thrusting forward. Chen Chuan did not draw his sword, merely raising his hand slightly to accurately block the tip of the long staff. With a bang, a circle of air waves exploded at the point of contact. Yet his hand didn't shake in the slightest. Seeing the initial strike ineffective, the "Long Staff' clanged and turned back into three sections. Gai Er spun around with incredible speed, using the strength of his waist and back to swing the three rods. With a whoosh, they circled around, the force rising from the ground, passing through layers, and finally, with a powerful swing of his single arm, he lashed out diagonally upwards! At this moment, the three-section staff resembled a steel whip being swung, bursting out a deep and powerful roar in the air. This lash and the previous thrust were actually a continuous move, known as the "Armor-Breaking Whip'. It first uses a hard thrust to force the enemy to dodge or block. Once blocked, the thrusting force would pour into the enemy's body through the contact point, forcing them to pause. Simultaneously, the three-section staff would split apart to dissipate the counter-shock, gaining a slight advantage in speed, and then integrate the strength of the whole body to lash out, aiming to kill with one strike. This move was his killing technique, having been tried and tested with few failures.Facing this strike, Chen Chuan seemed unable to dodge in time due to the earlier momentum, allowing the steel rod to crash into his neck with a loud bang! Their movements were extremely fast, and no one present could clearly see what was happening until the three-section staff struck Chen Chuan's neck, at which point they realized something was wrong. The people from Road Express were shocked, many couldn't help but feel a sudden tightness in their hearts, while those from Poison Ant Express couldn't hide their excitement, as they had previously seen Gai Er split a car in two with a single strike. However, after being struck, Chen Chuan stood there without moving, merely tilting his head slightly, looking calmly at Gai Er, and said, "Is that all?" Gai Er's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly tried to withdraw his weapon to fight again. But due to the excessive force used earlier, he had leaned forward too much, causing his withdrawal to be slightly slower. Chen Chuan took a step forward, suddenly closing the distance between them. Gai Er was startled and quickly stepped back, but Chen Chuan maintained the same speed, staying close to him, making it seem as if neither had moved. At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating towards him, a strength that seemed capable of crushing him, and for a moment, his breathing stopped. Chen Chuan quickly raised his hand, grabbing Gai Er's neck, a seizing technique force seeping in. With a slight lift, he hoisted Gai Er into the air, and at the highest point, slammed him down onto the ground! With a loud crash, the ground beneath Gai Er cracked, the bones below his knees shattered by the impact. His mutated tissues, unable to protect him due to the seizing technique force, could only endure the collision, his skin cracking and blood seeping out, even bleeding from his seven orifices. Chen Chuan then released his grip, and Gai Er fell to his knees with a thud. The slam had nearly stopped his breathing, leaving him unable to move.However, being a Martial Artist who had fought his way up from the bottom, he still held onto a fierce determination not to fall, his eyes fixed on Chen Chuan, while his skin and flesh slowly wriggled and tightened under the influence of Essence Blood. Chen Chuan looked down at him from above for a moment, then reached out his hand, gently placing it on his forehead, and with a push, Gai Er immediately lost his balance and fell backward. He then walked slowly to the side of Gai Er's head. The latter realized what he was about to do, and his eyes revealed panic and fear, as if he wanted to say something. However, due to the earlier blow, his breath was not yet steady, and his lips moved a few times, only emitting a faint sound, unable to speak coherently. Chen Chuan raised his foot and stepped down on his head with a loud bang, creating a pit below. The shattered bricks and stones splattered out, and Gai Er's body jerked violently in place. When he pulled his almost sunken foot away, what was revealed was a twisted and deformed face mixed with bricks and gravel. Seeing this scene from behind the Boundary Token, Lao Bian couldn't help but lift his body, as if trying to escape from his original position, his heart beating rapidly. In the field, it was eerily silent, with only the sound of everyone's own rapid breathing audible. The leader of the Moss Gang was somewhat stunned, then felt a chill rise from his scalp and spine. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then said to the Boundary Token: "Gai Er is done for, his head was crushed..." However, the person on the other side also seemed shocked and did not respond, just ended the communication. Chen Chuan did not look at the others any longer and left directly from there. From start to finish, he did not even draw his sword, defeating Gai Er with his bare hands. Strictly speaking, he actually subdued the latter with a single move. If it were a sparring match, the fight would have ended at that moment. As he passed by the Three-section staff, he extended his foot and lightly hooked it, causing the Three-section staff to bounce up from the ground, the front end caught in his hand, and with a pull, the three sections came together one after another.At Clear Path Logistics, Lan Xin'an was the first to wake up. Suppressing her excitement, she immediately used the Boundary Token to remind everyone behind her to stay alert, warning them to be cautious of Poison Ant Express making any rash moves in desperation. However, everything was normal. The people from Poison Ant Express were not so blind as to not recognize the destructive power of a Third Limit Martial Artist, and they would not dare to provoke at such a time. The leader of the Moss Gang kept waving his hand, signaling the driver to quickly take him away from here. He didn't want to stay a moment longer. If that Third-Limit Martial Artist on the other side had any ideas, he might not live to leave this place. Lan Xin'an then stepped forward, approaching Chen Chuan, and gave him a solemn nod. She then continued forward to the front of the Poison Ant Express crowd, looking at those hiding behind the barricades, and said: "You've lost. According to the prior agreement, Poison Ant Express must withdraw from the occupied territories. If you violate the agreement, then we at Clear Path Logistics will not abide by the rules either." After waiting for a while, no one from the opposite side stepped forward, but a voice came through: "Captain Lan, we understand the rules and will abide by the agreement, but you need to give us some time." Lan Xin'an responded succinctly: "Two days, that's more than enough. If you're not gone by then, we'll take it ourselves." After saying this, she turned around and walked back without another word. Chen Chuan had already returned to the RV, taking a sip from the half-drunk hot beverage he had earlier, noticing the temperature hadn't changed much. The confrontation between the two had ended almost as soon as it began, with Gai Er barely able to put up any decent resistance. However, in reality, this person wasn't that weak. Based on his assessment, Gai Er was somewhat stronger than Xiaosheng and Xian Quanfeng from the Viper Group. If fully prepared, it wouldn't have been easy to take him down in one move. During the contact with the energy field, Chen Chuan noticed that Gai Er was extremely self-serving. If he sensed something was wrong, he would not hesitate to abandon everyone and flee, disregarding any duels or agreements. If Gai Er had indeed escaped, it would have caused significant trouble for Clear Path Logistics. Therefore, Chen Chuan had to ensure he was killed on the spot, and the action had to be swift.He intentionally took that hit to psychologically intimidate his opponent and blunt his sharpness. At this moment, he seized the opportunity to advance directly, simultaneously using his energy field to press and unsettle his opponent's mind, ensuring the final strike's success. On the surface, it seemed like he effortlessly subdued his opponent, but behind this was not only his formidable physical condition and Martial Combat abilities but also the correct tactical choices. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Gai Er's staff strike, while appearing fierce, wasn't as powerful as he had imagined. He had prepared to use his Second Self to withstand it, but in the end, it wasn't necessary. He managed to dissipate the force within the strike solely through his Essence Blood and the force-dispelling skills of his Mutated Tissue. At this moment, a notification sound suddenly came from the Boundary Token, displaying an unknown communication. After a moment's thought, he chose to answer. A voice with no distinctive features came from the other side: "Mr. Chen, the waters here are very deep. Are you sure you want to wade in?" Chen Chuan asked, "Who am I speaking to?" The other side did not answer his question but said, "Mr. Chen, we know of your capabilities and respect you greatly. However, matters in the Lower City District are not something you can casually intervene in. This will cause trouble for many people, including yourself and those around you. If you withdraw now, we will offer you a satisfactory reward. We hope Mr. Chen can make a rational choice. If you decide, you can contact me using this signal." After saying this, the communication was directly ended. …… ……
