Chapter 639: The Great Sage Equal to Heaven
The moment Wu Zehui finished speaking, he had already moved as nimbly as an ape, darting out through the car window.
He reached into his ear, and under everyone's gaze, an iron rod materialized in his hand out of thin air.
He was still that sunny, cheerful young man, but in that instant, it was as if another soul had taken up residence inside his body.
The mask on his face had also transformed in that moment, taking on the appearance of a golden-eyed monkey, with the faint image of a purple-gold crown adorned with golden wings hovering above his head.
Everyone stared at him, their hearts filled with shock.
They'd always known Wu Zehui was a Superhuman of the Hundred Acts Sequence, but they'd never seen him use that power before. This was the first time.
A figure from mythology and legend had appeared right before their eyes—how could they not be stunned?
"Ha! What fiend dares act bold before Old Sun?"
With a simian shout, Wu Zehui transformed into a streak of yellow light, charging straight at the three oncoming Half-Head Anomalies.
Those three Half-Head Anomalies were clearly no pushovers either, their bodies wreathed in black vapor.
Wherever they passed, the green weeds growing in the cracks of the ground instantly turned black and shattered into pieces.
It was as if all life force was being absorbed by these Anomalies.
Wu Zehui showed no fear. The iron rod in his hand moved as if it were an extension of his body, spinning and rotating continuously around his waist.
Even the surrounding air current was whipped into a howling frenzy by the rod.
"Ha!~~~"
Another shout.
Just as Wu Zehui closed to within four or five meters of the three Half-Head Anomalies—
With a casual flick of the rod, it instantly extended to an impossible length.
In one second—no, even less than half a second—the iron rod shot forward and slammed heavily into the three Half-Head Anomalies.
The mouths on their swollen bellies were still drooling as they saw the rod coming. Instead of dodging, they opened their jaws wide, trying to bite down on the rod.
"BOOM!"
A thunderous explosion sent dust and debris flying everywhere.
Number One of the Skeleton Convoy hadn't even moved yet, but Wu Zehui's iron rod had already blasted the three Anomalies straight through the walls of the buildings lining the street, smashing several gaping holes.
That weak!
That strong!
The "that weak" referred to the three Anomalies. Even without fighting them, Chen Ye and the others could tell from their aura that these Anomalies weren't easy opponents. Yet they'd been dealt with so simply.
The "that strong" referred to Wu Zehui's one-rod demolition of three Anomalies into that state.
Meanwhile, the punk girl Number One of the Skeleton Convoy just stood behind Wu Zehui.
Seeing there was no need for her to step in, the girl didn't get impatient—she simply stayed put.
Wu Zehui's iron rod had already returned to normal size.
He planted the rod on the ground, used one hand to shield his eyes like a visor, and peered into the collapsed building.
With that posture, he was practically the Great Sage Equal to Heaven incarnate.
If this were still before the apocalypse, Wu Zehui could have made a fortune online with just that one move.
"A living human... so fragrant... I want... a living human!"
An enraged roar emerged from the settling dust.
As expected, while that strike had been impressive, it wasn't enough to kill these three Anomalies.
First, some Anomalies had incredibly strong Life Force.
Second, Wu Zehui had likely underestimated his opponent—after all, he was counted as a Sequence 4.
Back at the base, Sequence 4 was already considered a top-tier expert.
Before Wu Zehui could move again.
The punk girl behind him had already begun making the motion of drawing a bow.
A bow made of flesh and blood materialized in her hands.
In an instant, the bowstring twanged.
An arrow of flesh and blood took form.
The arrow shot out as a streak of light, speeding straight into the dust cloud.
Before anyone could see what was inside that haze, the girl had already fired.
And she radiated absolute confidence.
A piercing shriek echoed out.
Followed by the heavy thud of something massive hitting the ground.
"Little girl, the other two are mine!"
"Take this, Old Sun's one-rod smash!"
Wu Zehui seemed a bit embarrassed that his first strike hadn't killed the three Anomalies outright.
He had indeed underestimated them earlier.
Partly, he'd wanted to test what tricks these things had.
Partly, these weren't particularly powerful Anomalies—one strike should have been enough before.
He just hadn't expected their Life Force to be stronger than he'd thought.
Just as the two Anomalies burst out of the dust cloud.
Wu Zehui surged forward, the faint silhouette of the Great Sage looming behind him as his iron rod descended from the sky, smashing the two Anomaly figures deep into the ground.
The two Anomalies stopped moving, dissolving into black vapor that faded into the air.
"Clap, clap, clap... Impressive!"
Chen Ye applauded, his expression full of admiration.
Those three Anomalies just now were a bit trickier than your average low-grade Anomalies.
While he could have dealt with them easily himself, that didn't stop him from praising the others.
If you wanted your horse to work, a little praise cost nothing.
"Hey, kid! Now you know Old Sun's power?"
Wu Zehui spun his rod with a flick, his demeanor and mannerisms completely different from before.
"Is this..."
"Hundred Acts Sequence. Right now, I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, not Wu Zehui. How could a mere mortal like you understand!"
"You sour-faced brat, didn't you say you'd take me to that demon lair? Why aren't you leading the way already?"
Chen Ye blinked, then realized the "demon lair" must be referring to the Haosheng Hotel.
Chen Ye's eyes rolled as he clasped his hands together and bowed: "Great Sage, it's still early! There are plenty of demons and monsters nearby. Why don't we cleanse the area first, then head to the demon lair?"
Wu Zehui's golden eyes blinked a few times before he let out a scornful laugh: "You wicked brat, do you think I don't know what you're plotting?"
"Enough nonsense! Take me to the demon lair immediately. We'll talk about everything else later!"
"Try any more tricks, and watch out for Old Sun's Golden Cudgel!"
Well! He'd thought this guy would be easier to fool after transforming into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Looked like his plan to use him as a workhorse had failed.
