CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 384: THIS IS THE FIVE-THUNDER TRANSFORMATION HAND (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

In the hall of the Martial Artist Association, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Where is the Chairman?

And those Awakeners from Jiulong City,

So many people, yet they suddenly disappeared! Only a finger-sized cube hovered in the air.

"What the hell is going on?" Someone asked, and others began to gather their courage.

"I have no idea either!"

"Yeah, they were just here moments ago. Could it be related to that thing in the middle?"

"What is that?"

"Chairman?"

Many turned their eyes to Sun Wei.

Sun Wei also shook his head in a face full of confusion.

Instinct told him that the thing before him was not simple.

"Chairman, do you think it’s possible," Xu Jie pointed at the small cube, "that the Chairman and those Awakeners are inside there?"

"What? They’re inside that thing?"

"No, that’s impossible, right? That thing is so small! The Chairman is over 1.8 meters tall, how can he fit inside there?"

"That’s not necessarily true! The Awakened Association has people with Space Items on them that can store several cubic meters of stuff!"

"That’s just the smaller ones. I’ve heard there are ones that can store dozens of cubic meters!"

"So, the Chairman and those few people are in there?"

Everyone pointed at the small cube, their faces full of disbelief.

Sun Wei also turned his gaze over.

If Xu Jie was right, then the President at this moment would have to fight against six people alone?

Those are all B-level Awakeners! Any one of them could crush the whole Anshan City; can the President really be a match?

"Chairman, I think we don’t need to worry too much."

Gao Shan spoke, "If this is all orchestrated by the President, then I believe he must have confidence in this, and we just need to wait quietly to see the result."

"Right, I believe the President can defeat those people."

"Indeed, the President will definitely win!"

"Victory! Victory!"

Everyone came to their senses and raised their arms, shouting out.

"Yes!"

Sun Wei nodded heavily, also believing the President would emerge victorious!

Inside the space of the Yellow Sand Tower.

"Countdown, one minute."

Shi Tao said, extending a finger, while his other hand remained behind his back, looking very confident.

"City Lord."

Someone beside him whispered, "I just tried using a Space Item, but it didn’t work."

"Same here, the Space Item didn’t respond at all. Could the spatial rules here be different from the outside, causing them to fail?"

"Mine too."

The people around spoke one after another, faces full of shock.

They didn’t expect that Shi Tao had such a thing on him and pulled them in without asking their consent.

Does this also mean that Shi Tao could pull them in one by one for a fight?

However, Shi Tao didn’t do so, likely because he feared someone would start a massacre outside.

But, where does this guy get the confidence to think he can kill all six of them alone?

"Hmm."

Xiang Long nodded.

He also noticed the dysfunction of Space Items here.

Indeed, he is the Chairman of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association!

To possess such a valuable item.

If he could get his hands on this treasure, dealing with other Awakeners in the future would be effortless, without worrying about them running away.

"City Lord, what should we do next? Should we act now or wait and see?" Someone asked.

"Isn’t there still a minute left? Let’s pretend to accommodate him and strike suddenly; we will definitely kill this guy."

"Hmph, we are many, and he is just one. Why use underhanded methods? Just a full-on assault, we won’t even need a second to kill him!" Song Fu sneered.

He felt he could kill Shi Tao alone without needing someone else’s help.

"Song Fu is right, merely one Martial Artist, even if he is the President of Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, so what? No need for all of us to act, one is enough. But to be safe, two should act together."

They whispered, discussing their plan.

"No rush."

Xiang Long curtly said, then turned to Shi Tao, smiling sarcastically, "Chairman Shi, isn’t there some hidden mechanism here waiting for us?"

Right after his words, faces changed.

Damn!

The City Lord is right!

If not, how does Shi Tao dare to pull all of them in?

"I don’t employ tricks like that, there’s no need to worry."

Shi Tao calmly said, raising three fingers, "Thirty seconds left."

"Alright, since Chairman Shi says so, we’ll relax."

Xiang Long said, scanning around but didn’t find anything unusual.

Clearly, he didn’t believe Shi Tao’s words.

Song Fu and others also kept a vigilant watch around, even inspecting the grass on the ground.

"Twenty seconds."

Shi Tao’s voice sounded again.

"This guy!"

Song Fu gritted his teeth in anger.

If not for fear of Xiang Long’s reprimand, he would have rushed over already.

"City Lord?"

Others looked at Xiang Long.

Xiang Long shook his head.

The atmosphere became silent as time ticked by.

"Ten seconds..."

Before Shi Tao finished, Xiang Long roared, "Let’s act together!"

Song Fu and others immediately reacted, in an instant, several flaming fireballs, each about four or five meters in diameter, flew towards Shi Tao like lightning.

Alongside, dense ice cones rained down like a storm.

Several lightning balls the size of basins moved even faster, surpassing the fireballs, aiming directly at Shi Tao’s heart.

At that moment, Song Fu also triggered his superpower, intending to drain Shi Tao’s blood instantly.

At that moment, Shi Tao moved.

But to everyone’s shock, instead of dodging left or right, he charged right at them.

"Is this guy looking to die?"

That thought raced through their minds.

These attacks, hitting even a top-level Commander-level Fierce Beast head-on would be fatal or severely injuring.

This guy charged straight into it?

Mad?

"Stay alert!"

Xiang Long shouted.

They couldn’t use Space Items, but it didn’t mean Shi Tao couldn’t.

However, what followed stunned them beyond belief.

Shi Tao didn’t use any Space Items but rammed directly into those lightning balls and fireballs.

There was no explosion as expected.

A golden ripple appeared around his body, like water, causing the fireballs and ice cones to ripple before disappearing without a trace.

"Impossible!"

They stared wide-eyed, as if seeing a ghost.

Isn’t this guy a Martial Artist?

How does he have a superpower? A space-type superpower, diverting all attacks into another space.

"No, wrong!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

He could sense the elements were still there – the attacks weren’t diverted but rebroken into elements, existing in space.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Tao appeared before them.

Two large hands, carrying thunderous force, grabbed two among them, one being Song Fu.

The latter not only wasn’t scared but showed delight, seemingly saying, "Shi Tao, you chose death yourself!"

He had talismans that could withstand several attacks from top-level Commander-level Fierce Beast and more.

Enough time to drain Shi Tao’s blood multiple times.

The other was an Ice Element Awakener, unable to escape, conjured a thick ice shield and an ice spear to strike.

Shi Tao seemed oblivious to it, grabbing their necks with clawed hands.

Golden ripples flowed from his fingers.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound.

The ice shield shattered upon contact.

Even the protective shield formed by the talisman failed to withstand.

"What?"

Both faces changed, feeling impending doom.

One showed despair.

While the other, seeing the hand nearing his throat, Song Fu, eyes bloodshot, desperately triggered his spiritual power to extract Shi Tao’s blood.

Knowing survival depended on speed!

To his shock, despite all efforts, only a fleeting blood disorder, unable to move further – like a mountain unmoved.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound.

His neck broke, head rotated 180 degrees, falling with horror.

The other met the same fate.

Two B-level Awakeners died in a blink.

The remaining four were stunned.

Feeling like dreaming.

Song Fu dead? Killed so easily?

Where were their talismans?

Here, not only Space Items, even talismans failed?

"Five-Thunder Transformation Hand!"

Xiang Long first reacted, incredulously asked, "This is your Five-Thunder Transformation Hand?"

"Indeed, this is the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand."

Shi Tao turned, expression as cold as ever.
