Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 472: Chapter 187: Zhang Beixing, Humanoid Weapon!

AH?!

By the lake, exclamations of amazement rose and fell as everyone was shocked by Zhang Beixing’s actions. They couldn’t comprehend it! Huo Honghao, for one, had never seen anything like it in all his years. A human standing on water, and running on it? Damn it!

At this moment, the drug traffickers were even more baffled and uncomprehending than the onlookers. They had already chickened out and sped away in their vehicle, mere moments from escape. Given another half hour, they were confident they could disappear into these mountains and forests, making it back to the Golden Triangle. Then, they’d be as free as birds in the sky or fish in the sea! The Big Boss would reward them for completing the mission, promote them, and they would reach the pinnacle of their lives, indulging in daily feasting and revelry!

But then...

”Boss, he’s chasing after us!” the short man in the back of the pickup truck exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock as he glanced toward the lake.

Hearing this, the boss, who had been deep in thought, furrowed his brows and asked, ”Chasing after us? What do you mean by that?”

”The guy we just tried to kill, he’s already here!” the short man replied.

”How is that possible!” The boss didn’t believe it at first. ”We’re in a car and have been driving for so long! I admit he’s strong, but how could he possibly catch up over such a distance? Do you even realize what you’re saying?”

”I know, but it’s true! And he’s not coming from the land but... on the water!”

Seeing Zhang Beixing Walking on Waves and rushing towards them across the lake, the short man’s face filled with a terror as if he’d seen a ghost; he was utterly frightened!

Upon hearing this, the boss knitted his brow, looked in that direction, and instantly his expression mirrored the short man’s shock. Because the short man hadn’t lied! That man was really chasing them across the water!

”What the hell is going on?!” the boss cried out. He then quickly regained his composure, his eyes suddenly hardening with a fierce, crazed look on his face. ”I don’t care how the hell you’re walking on water! If you dare to chase, then I’ll make you chase! Shoot! Damn it! Before, he was in the trees with leaves and branches for cover, so I couldn’t hit him. I refuse to believe I can’t hit him now that he’s out on the open water!”

Immediately reacting, the boss scrambled up in the back of the moving pickup, steadied himself, aimed his submachine gun at Zhang Beixing, and held down the trigger, firing madly.

RATATATATATA—

Bullets sprayed from the muzzle like rain, pouring down on Zhang Beixing.

Hearing his words, the short man and another trafficker snapped back to their senses. They realized that Zhang Beixing, standing on the water with nothing around him, was in a perfect position to be attacked. They too stood up, leaned over the edge of the vehicle, pulled out their guns, and began firing intensely, as if determined to riddle Zhang Beixing with bullets until he looked like a hornet’s nest.

Watching this scene, Zhang Beixing’s expression remained unchanged. He had anticipated this situation when he decided to pursue them across the water and had prepared accordingly.

Facing the fiercely incoming bullets, Zhang Beixing crouched down. His legs, like leaden hammers imbued with immense force, suddenly swept in front of him.

SPLASH—

A wall of lake water, stirred up by Zhang Beixing, surged over a meter high. The bullets struck the water screen, their momentum blunted, while Zhang Beixing’s figure was obscured.

When the water screen fell, the lake surface was calm, disturbed only by ripples.

”’Is he dead?’” Seeing this, the boss frowned and let out a skeptical ’Huh?’ No, he couldn’t be. Because there was no trace of blood on the lake surface! That’s not what it would look like if he were dead! And yet, Zhang Beixing had vanished from there. Where did he go?

The boss tensed up completely, extremely nervous. He clutched his gun tightly but couldn’t derive any sense of security from it. The unknown is always the most terrifying! Not to mention, Zhang Beixing’s strength was so formidable! Leaping from leaves, Walking on Waves, striking with phantom punches... These were feats no normal human could accomplish!

Warily scanning the surroundings, the boss began to reload his submachine gun, ready to unleash a volley the moment Zhang Beixing reappeared. However, after a few moments, he saw nothing unusual.

Until their truck passed a corner.

RUSTLE—

A slight noise came from a thicket of deadwood at the corner.

The boss, instantly on high alert as if facing a great enemy, reflexively raised his gun and fired a barrage into the deadwood. Startled by his actions, the others in the truck also quickly pulled out their weapons and started shooting.

But even after they had emptied their magazines and shattered the deadwood, they saw no sign of anyone.

Realizing he had been overly nervous, the boss quickly reached for his waist to grab a new magazine. But instead of the familiar cold metal, his hand touched something else—a dripping wet hand!

A hand?!

Realizing what was happening, the boss whipped his head around. He saw Zhang Beixing, who had disappeared for two or three minutes, now somehow standing beside him in the back of the bouncing pickup truck.

Their eyes met.

Zhang Beixing’s face broke into a radiant smile. Without a word, his hand balled into a fist. Before the boss could react, he struck fiercely upwards from the man’s side.
