Chapter 597 - 509: Give Me a Little More Strength!

"Is it really that fierce?"

!!

The Yama Corps members exchanged glances. They were well aware of Chen Hanzhou’s abilities, which were indeed impressive. However, to utilize one’s body to such an extent, only Zhang Su and Ju Mumio in the entire camp were capable.

The combat power displayed now shouldn’t belong to Chen Hanzhou. This was the most direct impression of the crowd unless he had been concealing his strength all along.

In the eyes of someone unfamiliar with Chen Hanzhou, it was simply astonishing.

With Zhang Su having already demonstrated acrobatic-like enemy-killing techniques, showcasing the exceptional use of joints and muscles, now another one has emerged. There was no doubt, just admiration for the might of the Yama Corps.

No time was left for the crowd to marvel, as the battlefield situation changed instantly. After being attacked, the black aura zombie continued to swell its black shield for another attack, but this time it encountered some trouble.

Chen Hanzhou seemed to sense something, focusing intently while dodging, waiting for the black aura shield’s attack. When the wisps inside the shield began to flicker, he launched a new round of attacks against the expanding black aura shield.

Puff!

This time, the situation changed, with a new breakthrough.

"Did he succeed?"

Zheng Xinyu tightened her grip on Zhang Su’s arm, a gleeful expression on her face. Chen Hanzhou had found the black aura zombie’s flaw!

"His analysis and observation skills are quite impressive."

Zhang Su was somewhat absent-minded; he had previously guessed that the black aura shield’s weakness might lie in its application. For him, he was more interested in knowing what Chen Hanzhou’s abilities really were!

If one were to compare people’s combat power to towering peaks, shorter mountains looking upward wouldn’t easily see the full picture of a tall mountain. However, a tall mountain looking down at smaller hills could often see everything clearly.

Just like Zhang Su looking at Chen Hanzhou, with his capability, he could thoroughly analyze Chen Hanzhou’s combat advantages and shortcomings, often making corrections and providing guidance during normal times.

But the earlier attack and defense maneuvers were very sharp.

An amateur would only see a series of advances and retreats, but the mastery of muscles, joints, and force in these moves was exceptional—perfectly executed.

Not only did the techniques exhibit exceptional skill, but they also required a robust physique for support. Zhang Su himself could do it, but he knew the entire camp would not have a third person capable of such actions just now.

At this moment, he was staring into the eyes of the second person who could.

Ju Mumio’s expression seemed to say, "See for yourself," as if reaffirming previous suspicions.

A companion becoming more formidable should logically be a cause for celebration. However, if the source of that power posed a potential threat, or if gaining that power transformed them into an enemy, it would be a different matter altogether.

In the battlefield, having successfully probed, Chen Hanzhou’s Steel Rod pierced the black aura shield. But he did not stop there; exerting force on the spot like a swooping falcon, he dashed forth with extreme speed over a short distance, thrusting the Steel Rod straight at the zombie’s head, embodying the notion of swift, precise, and ruthless.

Under the illumination, his fierce advance was like thunder. Spectators couldn’t help but clench their fists, awaiting the thrilling moment of a decisive blow, ready to cheer for the hero.

Whoosh... Bang!

Yet the actual situation made everyone’s heart skip a beat. The black aura zombie lifted its arm and deflected the Steel Rod, and the black aura shield rapidly contracted like a deflated balloon!

Originally, Chen Hanzhou’s arm was already inside the black aura shield, but as the shield’s edge retracted to the Steel Rod, a mysterious force erupted from within, sending Chen Hanzhou flying back, further than before...

Bang, roll...

The force was too powerful, and the suddenness of the attack left Chen Hanzhou unable to adjust his posture in mid-air. He could only seek to resolve the crisis after landing, finally stabilizing his position after several rolls. This time was not as easy as before, with a stream of blood flowing from his nostrils. His injured arm throbbed with pain, and his weapon fell to the side.

Just like a big star on stage, the spotlight closely followed Chen Hanzhou. His figure was always so clear, and even now his dishevelment was apparent to everyone. No one mocked him; instead, they all sweated for him.

"Come on..."

"Yang Guo big brother, don’t fall!"

Many were cheering Chen Hanzhou on.

Feeling the focus of countless eyes, Chen Hanzhou flipped and stood up. Watching the staggering zombie approaching, he rolled over to pick up the fallen Steel Rod, murmuring softly, "Still not enough power. Hey, don’t be so stingy, alright?"

No one noticed that right after Chen Hanzhou said these words, a faint dark red light flowed in his eyes, very subtle, and in normal circumstances, even in a face-to-face conversation, it would be hard to detect...

Zhang Su didn’t notice either, but he heard Chen Hanzhou’s strange muttering!

Who exactly was he asking for power from?

Could it be that another presence existed within him now!?

This was too eerie, leaving him feeling uneasy in his heart, deciding to find time to flesh out this matter sooner rather than later!

"Brother Su, should we let Chen Hanzhou continue? He looks so difficult."

Zheng Xinyu watched with concern from the side. Having discovered the black aura zombie’s weakness, they could all attack together, whether with guns or cold weapons, and just kill it outright. If that didn’t work, lead it away and apply some Ascension Original Liquid on its strange black aura shield, BOOM!

If not for the earlier odd muttering, Zhang Su would definitely take the lead and attack. But now he hesitated, planning to continue watching Chen Hanzhou’s next performance!

"I think Xiaochen still has potential; no need to panic!"

Raising his palm as if pressing down, he signaled to Zheng Xinyu that everything was under control. He was indeed ready to take action at any moment, starting to play out plans in his mind for dealing with potential unfolding scenarios.

Intervening didn’t necessarily mean helping Chen Hanzhou, because if Chen Hanzhou really did tap into some strange source of power, he needed to ensure the black aura zombie wouldn’t be "eaten" by Chen Hanzhou. After all, he had previously made it clear that he was salivating over something within the zombie’s brain!

Bang.

Under the light, Chen Hanzhou attacked again, his footing strong and decisive, producing a dull thud with each step—thanks to the good quality of the boots, or the soles would fly off. He darted like a sharp arrow, directly at the black aura shield.

The ferocious momentum caused Lu Yubo’s cheeks to twitch slightly, and as a former rival, he wasn’t too happy to see Chen Hanzhou surpassing him, but reality was right there, making him feel somewhat defeated with a resolution to strive harder upon returning.

Chen Hanzhou employed the same strategy: feigning attacks, dodging. When the wisps within the black aura shield flickered, he took a deep breath.

"It’s now!"

His blood flowed through his veins at speeds exceeding his peak level, muscles reaching their limit. Veins bulged on his forehead and neck, like a beam of light piercing through darkness as he thrust himself into the black aura shield.

"Success!"

Chen Hanzhou shouted in his heart. Even though he felt the increasing resistance within the black aura shield, his momentum remained unwavering.

"Finally got this..."

"Damn it, just die."

"Great."

Just as everyone believed Chen Hanzhou could effectively kill the black aura zombie, they completely overlooked one issue: the attack methods of the black aura zombie were not confined to just the black aura shield; its arms were not merely decorative!
