Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Cheng Hao wasn't too surprised to see this, as he had long suspected that Gu Cheng had many hidden cards up her sleeve.

However, to cripple an A-level Awakened in a single encounter, isn't this card she's been holding a bit too big?

Taking advantage of the man's frown, Gu Cheng raised the Colt Python and fired rapidly, six revolver bullets flashing with electricity piercing Cheng Hao.

While claiming to have captured him for questioning, Gu Cheng was actually aiming for vital organs like the heart, neck, and head. She didn't believe that bullets coated with paralyzing electricity could directly eliminate the target; she needed Cheng Hao to react so she could launch the next attack.

Only a continuous offensive can force the opponent to reveal a weakness.

As expected, Cheng Hao raised his hand and slashed fiercely in front of him. The space his fingers touched seemed to break for a moment, and the air pressure on both sides suddenly became unbalanced, generating a slanted wind field.

The bullets encountered resistance and lost their original trajectory, landing haphazardly on nearby cars or the ground. Gu Cheng lowered his body, and the electric current stimulated his muscles to maximize his explosive power.

She spun the Tang sword, the metal carrying a massive amount of electricity rushing towards Cheng Hao, who alternated his hands, his fingertips striking the air like raindrops.

The moment the man moved, Gu Cheng suddenly sensed danger. She subconsciously turned her body, and a few strands of brown hair near her ears were cut off cleanly.

If Gu Chengyan hadn't reduced the range of "Splitting and Repairing" effect, what would have been severed just now wouldn't have been hair, but a head.

Now that things have come to this, neither side has any room to back down. Gu Cheng threw out a few bullets and swung his revolver at the same time. The six Magnum bullets were intercepted by the revolver in mid-air. With a roar, Gu Cheng pulled the trigger again.

The man behind Cheng Hao finally moved. He was faster than Gu Cheng, who was under the influence of the electric current, and could almost leave an afterimage in place.

The next second, all the bullets hit the ground. Gu Cheng raised her knife and slashed at the man's hand, creating a series of sparks. The man then turned his palm into a fist and slammed it into the girl's smooth, flat abdomen.

Barely managing to dodge the punch, the whistling wind scraped her skin like a knife, and Gu Cheng had no doubt that if she had failed to dodge, she would have been cut open at the waist.

Even with its strong recovery ability, it couldn't withstand the sudden destruction of its internal organs.

"He's so fast..."

Only muscle memory could keep up; Uncle Zhou's teaching was indeed correct.

The blade crackled with lightning, barely managing to repel the opponent's attack. Seeing the situation was dire, Gu Chengyan no longer cared about concealing himself, and the spot where the blade had touched dissolved at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing this, a knowing glint flashed in Cheng Hao's eyes. With a single hand, he severed Gu Chengyan's ability transmission.

Sensing the spellcasting interrupted, the woman's voice was slightly hoarse: "Cheng, Cheng Hao's ability level is definitely not just A-level."

One S-rank and two A-rank, Han Ya is really willing to spend resources on her.

Gu Cheng had already exhausted some of her mental energy fighting the shadowy figure, and would only become more and more tired as the battle continued.

......

Thirty minutes ago, in the president's office of the Su Group branch building.

Su Wanxi took a sip of hot tea and gently moved the mouse with her hand.

After a short rest at noon, the woman's concentration was noticeably better in the afternoon, and her mindset was also slightly more relaxed than in the morning.

Orange is right. Getting angry often is bad for your liver. The mistake was made by someone else, but your body is your own. Getting angry can also cause wrinkles.

With her fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, Su Wanxi instructed the finance department to send the new report to her email. After checking it several times, she finally sighed and closed her laptop.

Sitting in an office chair for too long can easily cause neck pain. Thinking of her pet dog, Su Wanxi smiled and abandoned the idea of ​​asking Secretary Zhou to massage her neck. She stood up and walked to the French windows to rest for a while.

The phone suddenly started beeping. Su Wanxi glanced down at the screen, a hint of surprise flashing in her dark eyes.

Jiang Xuewei... why would she contact me first... we usually don't exchange more than ten words in months.

The call connected, but no one spoke for a long time. Su Wanxi coughed lightly, and after about three or four seconds, a soft female voice came from the other end of the screen.

"There is an anomaly at the Beidu International Shooting Range. It announced its closure at 4:30 pm ahead of schedule, and most people have already evacuated the area. In addition, Gu Cheng's phone is temporarily unreachable, possibly due to strong signal jamming."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi frowned, her fingers unconsciously rubbing her thigh.

"You mean... Gu Cheng is in danger..."

Jiang Xuewei nodded and gave the last clue.

"Based on real-time monitoring, she should be in the underground parking lot now."

Chapter 369 Hurricane Rescue (Section 375)

From the dimly lit underground parking lot came a woman's rapid and low breathing. Gu Cheng knelt on one knee, her light white knitted sweater heaving violently.

"Huff...cough cough..."

After several minutes of fierce fighting, Gu Cheng, who was not a physical enhancement type Awakener, lost speed and strength every second. Finally, with a sound of bones breaking, she was hit in the right shoulder by the man.

Bright red liquid kept seeping from the corners of her lips. The girl's face was deathly pale, and her brown hair was scattered messily to one side.

Standing diagonally opposite Gu Cheng at this moment, the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses looked at his left arm in surprise. His flesh and bones had been cut off by the blade, leaving only a bare elbow joint that smelled of burnt flesh.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Hao frowned almost imperceptibly, then casually picked up the man's severed forearm from the ground, pressed down hard on the elbow with his fingertips, and the severed limb instantly returned to normal.

"..." Gu Cheng.

Is this reasonable?

The girl swallowed hard, her throat dry, and forced herself to stand up. Azure lightning crackled across the blade's spine, though its brightness was slightly dimmer than before.

Gu Cheng was in excruciating pain in her right shoulder. She had already reduced most of the force, but the man's blow still broke her bone.

My mental energy is about to run out; I can only hold on for a maximum of five more minutes. I must finish this quickly.

Pulling the trigger, the Magnum bullet, carrying a massive amount of kinetic energy, hurtled towards the target. After so many attempts, finally one bullet successfully penetrated the defenses and hit Cheng Hao.

In an instant, blood spurted out, and a fist-sized hole appeared on the man's thigh, a horrifying wound.

Gu Cheng seized the opportunity and kicked off the ground, her delicate body crashing into Cheng Hao like a cannonball.

A violent current gathered around, and taking advantage of the target's injury and distraction before he could activate his ability, the brown eyes slowly swept over the man. The next second, the head of this A-level Awakened disappeared completely, and his muscular body crashed to the ground.

Blood gushed from his neck like an explosion, splattering onto the ground and car tires.

"You actually... killed him..."

Cheng Hao's eyes widened as he aimed his pistol at Gu Cheng and emptied the magazine rapidly. The latter watched the incoming bullets without changing her expression. Without expending any mental energy, the bright yellow metal seemed to vanish into thin air as if erased by an eraser.

"Of course...we've been locked in a life-or-death struggle for a long time..." Gu Cheng slashed fiercely at Cheng Hao's wrist, attempting to directly destroy the medium through which the other party used "Splitting Repair".

The man lay on the ground, watching helplessly as the Tang sword approached, his fingertips desperately cutting through space.

Lightning crackled, and blue-white light illuminated the entire underground parking lot.

"Bang!" The blade broke off first, hitting the concrete floor with a sharp impact. Gu Cheng looked at the clean metal cut surface, her brows furrowing tightly.

Just as she was about to use electromagnetism to reshape the Tang sword, she heard more footsteps around her.

Several men and women dressed similarly burst into the parking lot entrance. Through his spiritual vision, Gu Cheng observed that the golden veil around them spread rapidly like ripples.

A group of awakened beings?

Cheng Hao immediately moved his fingers, drawing a Mitsubishi military dagger from the cement floor, and then stabbed it at Gu Cheng.

The injury to her right shoulder greatly reduced her dodging speed. Gu Cheng caught a glimpse of the military dagger out of the corner of her eye and instinctively leaned back. Seeing this, Cheng Hao gently twisted his wrist, tearing the stockings and leaving a shallow bloodstain on the girl's smooth, fair thigh.

"That's enough..." Gu Chengyan said softly.

It is difficult for awakened individuals of the same level to directly apply their abilities to each other, but Gu Cheng has bought her enough time.

As soon as the words left his mind, Cheng Hao's five fingers on his right hand melted away inch by inch from the skin to the blood vessels, revealing the faint white bones.

Even if a man possesses the peculiar ability to "mend cracks" by conceptually erasing everything connected to the wrist, it is still difficult to heal without a specific object to mend.

After Gu Chengyan finished doing all this, Gu Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and countless cars around them suddenly crashed into Cheng Hao.

Dust obscured the sky, and several other awakened individuals seemed to be protecting Cheng Hao with some kind of ability, while the latter growled in a low voice.

"Go to the second basement level...and grab her..."

As the smoke cleared, a circular opening, just wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared where Gu Cheng had been standing.

......

At 5:30 p.m., a stunningly beautiful woman rushed into the shooting range. Su Wanxi was wearing a dark black suit jacket over a white shirt, and her high heels clattered on the floor tiles.

"Ms. Su, we have received news that we will be closing the museum early. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."

Even though the woman's pretty face was covered in frost, the staff still refused to let her pass in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi frowned and was about to contact her family when a group of active-duty soldiers in military uniforms and well-equipped with weapons suddenly entered the hall. The leader was none other than Ye Sheng, a B+ level awakener who had met Gu Cheng a few times in the Strong Rift.

The man was taken aback when he saw Su Wanxi, then showed his identification to the receptionist without any expression.

According to military instructions, more than ten hostile Awakened individuals are plotting a terrorist attack within the shooting range. Ye Sheng is in charge of leading the team to eliminate them, while the remaining Awakened individuals are sealing off the surrounding area.

This group consisted entirely of Awakened Ones, and the leader in charge even had a face that Su Wanxi recognized very well.

Song Shiyan.

He was dressed in a neat military uniform, his hair was slightly gray at the ends, but he had far fewer wrinkles than before.

Upon encountering her former superior whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Su Wanxi took the initiative to salute the man and request to join the operation.

Song Shiyan knew that Su Wanxi came from a prominent family, with many of her elders holding important positions in the military. He also considered that she was an A+ level awakener with exceptional strength, which would be of great help to the operation.

He immediately sought instructions from his superiors, and within half a minute, the military approved Su Wanxi's request to intervene.

Taking a Type 95 assault rifle, Su Wanxi activated her spiritual vision. The golden gauze of the entire shooting range was tangled into a mess, and the underground parking lot that Jiang Xuewei had mentioned earlier was located at the center of the tide.

At the same time, Gu Cheng clutched her right shoulder in a disheveled state, her steps unsteady. Falling from the height of two stories without any cushioning, her wound throbbed with tearing pain.

"Someone's chasing us," Gu Chengyan whispered a reminder, while simultaneously activating the concept erasure again.

Several floor tiles overhead silently melted, and cars crashed to the ground like rain.

Gu Cheng gritted her teeth, and several beams of white light suddenly appeared dozens of meters away.

"Three B-level...five C-level..."

With a violent cough, a bright red stain appeared on the back of the girl's fair and delicate hand. She raised her head, her eyes filled with struggle, and breathed out softly through her nose.

"Zizi..."

The members of the Jackdaws team who were in charge of the inspection suddenly felt a tingling sensation in their limbs. Then, they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The remaining three B-level Awakened were also momentarily dazed, but their resistance was significantly higher than that of the C-level Awakened. They continued to feel their way forward in the direction of the flying dust.

A brown-haired girl leaned quietly against the ruins, covered in blood.
