Rebirth: City Sovereign

Facing Jin's question, Zhang Fann didn't say a word. Instead, he concentrated on looking at Jin's body with his white pupils that had been strengthened by the Thunder Arts, scanning every part of her body.    

    

Apart from the palms of his two hands, there was no other prickle on Jin's body.    

    

This was the result Zhang Fann obtained after his scan. He opened his mouth and answered with a voice that was like thunder.    

    

"You used this to poison Lu Qingshan, right?"    

    

"Oh, so his name is Lu Qingshan?"    

    

King spread his hands and sneered.    

    

"Alright, since you've discovered it, then there's nothing else to say."    

    

"Have you ever heard of a creature called Stone Fish in the deep sea?"    

    

"They lurk at the bottom of the sea or at the bottom of a reef, camouflaging themselves as an inconspicuous rock. When something unluckily steps on them, their flesh spikes spit out deadly poison, only stopping when the other party dies."    

    

"Unfortunately, the deep sea gene in my body just happens to belong to Stone Fish. So, this is only one of my attacking methods, just like your lightning. Don't call me despicable."    

    

"Blame it on your friend being careless. If you want to hate him, you can only hate yourself."    

    

In the face of Jin's mockery, Zhang Fann's expression did not change at all.    

    

"Those who know how to poison, they will definitely have the appropriate antidote on their body."    

    

Hearing Zhang Fann's words, Jin was slightly stunned, but soon after he coldly spoke.    

    

"I can tell you clearly that the blood in my body is the antidote, but so what?"    

    

"You think that you can defeat me just because you understand my poison techniques?"    

    

"Don't be too presumptuous, monkey of China!"    

    

"Pu ci!"    

    

Then, from his back, chest, four limbs and even the back of his head, black bone spikes drilled out one after another from his body. Blue blood flowed slowly from the place where the bone spikes drilled out from his body, but Jin didn't seem to feel any pain.    

    

"You were hit by my poison, just die obediently!"    

    

Afterwards, Jin's figure disappeared in a flash. He rose into the air, carrying along huge waves as he charged towards Zhang Fann.    

    

Zhang Fann's eyes that had been adjusted by the Thunder Arts knew that every single bone spike was poisonous to the same degree as the ones on the golden palm. Once they came into contact with it, they would lose all ability to move in the same instant as Lu Qingshan.    

    

But Zhang Fann was not moved at all. He stood in the air as the white energy of the Thunder Arts around his body turned into countless bolts of lightning, striking towards Jin Wu.    

    

"I already said, don't use this kind of thing to deal with me. It's not even enough!"    

    

Jin hooted and charged straight at the bolt of lightning!    

    

Boom!    

    

However, in the next second, the pitch-black bone spikes on his body were completely shattered by the white lightning.    

    

"How is this possible!"    

    

Jin said in disbelief as he spat out a mouthful of blood.    

    

"The reason why I did not use all my strength just now, was because I wanted to find a way to save Lu Qingshan. I probably used too much force to knock you out, and Lu Qingshan would be done for."    

    

Zhang Fann looked at the gold that was struck by the white lightning, and said slowly.    

    

"Since I already know of the way to save Lu Qingshan, I will no longer try to control my strength."    

    

"Power of Control, what did you say?"    

    

After Jin landed on the ground, he steadied his footing, ignoring his own bloodied body, he raised his head, and looked at Zhang Fann who was standing unmoving, and said while clenching his teeth.    

    

"Don't be too arrogant! The monkeys of China, do they really think that they have so many … "    

    

"Thunder."    

    

Boom!    

    

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ye Lee pointed his right hand at the sky above Jin Zheng, and a ray of white lightning struck down, causing Jin's body to be submerged in it.    

    

Ah ah ah ah!    

    

The power that was tens of thousands of times stronger than the Palm Lightning that Zhang Fann used at the beginning directly hit Jin's body. After being hit by the lightning, Jin was constantly wailing in pain.    

    

"Lightning Flash."    

    

Zhang Fann waved his hand again in the air, and before Jin could recover from the lightning's attack, a white electric wall formed from countless lightning appeared around him and pressed down on his body.    

    

The sharp spikes on his fingers were burnt into charcoal, and the hole from which the bone spikes grew constantly exploded. That terrifying lightning seemed to want to directly take away Jin's consciousness.    

    

He opened his mouth, black smoke pouring out of it, and shouted.    

    

"Enough is enough!"    

    

Using all of his strength, Jin opened his mouth wide and shot out a stream of dark blue mana energy towards Zhang Fann.    

    

Facing Jin's full powered attack, Zhang Fann did not dodge nor dodge, but stood in the air instead. The mana and energy that struck the white lightning on his body immediately exploded, transforming into nothingness.    

    

"Like I said, you're no match for me."    

    

Zhang Fann said coldly. With a wave of his right hand, several hundred spears formed from lightning suddenly appeared around Jin's body.    

    

"No, no."    

    

Only Jin's eyes were still focused on the numerous lightning spears surrounding him, and his face was filled with terror after being struck by the lightning.    

    

As for Zhang Fann, he only extended his right hand slightly, and formed a flicking finger shape.    

    

"Also, although Ye Lee and I are relatively close, I am actually the same type of person who never hold back when facing enemies."    

    

Crack.    

    

Following Zhang Fann's gentle flick of a finger, the several hundred thunder spears stabbed towards Jin's body at the same time.    

    

Boom!    

    

As the explosion sounded and the smoke dispersed, only a white-eyed, unconscious, bloodied British man was left in the crater formed by the destruction of the thunder lance.    

    

Zhang Fann, who was in the air, returned to his original appearance. The white lightning dispersed from his body, and Zhang Fann landed gently on the ground. He walked into the pit and took out a small glass tube from his waist.    

    

He lightly waved his hand towards the unconscious Jin, and a small pillar of blue blood flew out from Jin's body and entered the glass tube. That was the antidote for Lu Qingshan.    

    

Without stopping for even a single second, with the glass tube containing the blue blood in his hand, Zhang Fann left the tournament arena, which had been completely deformed by his Thunder Arts.    

    

Amongst the members of British Team, the only one who could move freely was the short British woman who was using an environmental spell. She glanced at Jin who had been electrocuted to a crisp, sighed, then raised her right hand helplessly, indicating her surrender.    

    

"Five to two!"    

    

"National War of Martial Arts semifinals! Chinese Team against British Team, victory! "    

    

Crash.    

    

A refreshing sea breeze blew in from the opposite direction.    

    

Huang Yuanzhi stood at the right side of Ye Kai, beside the boundary of the sea and the sand, looking puzzled.    

    

But Ye Kai just stood a little in front of Huang Yuanzhi, with a solemn face, he did not say a word.    

    

After about half a minute, Huang Yuanzhi could not stand the silent atmosphere any longer and asked.    

    

"Alliance Master, the semifinals are extremely important to the Chinese Team, and will determine whether or not the Chinese Team will get the chance to peek at the Door of Immortality this year. What is our purpose in coming here at this time? "    

    

"With Lu Qingshan's strength, he would be able to defeat three people in a row, but afterwards, he would be plotted against and heavily injured due to his pride, allowing Zhang Fann to easily obtain victory."    

    

He had clearly only fought two matches in the top four, yet Ye Kai had directly predicted the outcome of the competition in detail. Furthermore, his tone was very firm, as if what he had said was not a guess, but a fact that would definitely happen.    

    

Then, Ye Kai extended his right hand, pointing at the sea level that he could see.    

    

Huang Yuanzhi understood tacitly, and enlarged the Spiritual Strength's detection to the extreme, and looked towards the place Ye Kai pointed to.    

    

Boom! Boom!    

    

Then, he heard the sound of a heartbeat.    

    

Tens of thousands of heartbeat sounds resounded in an orderly and orderly manner.    

    

Unlike a human's heartbeat, the sound was extremely heavy, as if it was not a heartbeat, but a steam engine that was emitting steam.    

    

As the person who was the closest to the European Protector, other than Ye Kai, he was very familiar with where that frightening heartbeat came from.    

    

"Sea Scale Clan?"    

    

Huang Yuanzhi's face became gloomy and asked.    

    

Ye Kai shook his head and replied.    

    

"No, just a failure."    

    

"A failed work?"    

    

Huang Yuanzhi's face revealed a questioning look.    

    

Ye Kai sighed and said.    

    

"Grandmaster Huang, do you remember how the European Protector was created by the European Union?"    

    

"Of course, the EU found tens of thousands of able-bodied soldiers and brutally tested them in an inhumane way. Only at the end …"    

    

Huang Yuanzhi answered halfway as he suddenly came to a realization.    

    

"Are you saying that these tens of thousands of mutated individuals were all those that failed to successfully fuse with the deep sea gene at that time?"    

    

"It can't be said that they didn't succeed, it's just that their fusion level isn't as high as the European Protector's. If the Protector's were completed, they would probably just be semi-finished products."    

    

"At that time, the EU did not know how to deal with these Variant. The Yama King's Hall extended its olive branch."    

    

"The Curse Family of the three great families in the hall of the Underworld was the one that had connections with Sea Scale Clan in the beginning, so they naturally understand the characteristics of Sea Scale Clan very well. They took over these tens of thousands of people, and after remodeling, they became the tens of thousands of variant assassins hidden in the hands of the underworld palace."    

    

Huang Yuanzhi's face darkened as he asked.    

    

"Could it be that they are here to encircle the Alliance Head and take revenge for the Protector?"    

    

"No, if even Gulaman with his Divine Energy was killed by me, then the mastermind wouldn't be so stupid as to call a bunch of trash to die."    

    

"Then why did they come?"    

    

"An assassin, of course he's here to kill." Ye Kai slightly shrugged.    

    

"Kill who?" Huang Yuanzhi was slightly focused as he asked curiously.    

    

Ye Kai looked at the vast ocean, and gently exhaled and replied.    

    

"Chinese Team."
