Chapter 649: An Ordinary Person
Everything happened too fast, so fast that no one even had time to react!
Jiangnan and Ye Ying had already vanished!
At this moment, Jiangnan had already put on the Paralysis Ring and instantly appeared beside the middle-aged man!
His golden middle finger stabbed unhesitatingly into the man's chest!
The Shadow Demon's eyes widened, and he snarled, "You asked for this! Don't regret it!"
As he spoke, he tried to control all the hostages to release their detonators at the same time!
But at that moment, Jiangnan's finger had already pierced into the middle-aged man's chest!
The man's eyes bulged, his features twisted, and his body instantly froze in place!
The thumb that was about to let go of the detonator was completely uncontrollable; his entire body stiffened, unable to move!
Jiangnan pulled out his finger without a second's delay, opened a Space Wormhole!
His golden finger stabbed out, hitting another man's chest!
In just a few milliseconds, two people were paralyzed!
Then his body vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the next hostage, repeating the same move!
Even as fast as Jiangnan was, instantly controlling four people was already his limit!
Shadow Demon: !!!
The sudden paralyzing sensation completely stunned him. After all, all the Shadow Demons inside the hostages were split from his own body!
Shared senses!
With four instances of paralysis stacked on top of each other, the Shadow Demon was instantly hit with an overwhelming sensation that shot straight to heaven!
But it wasn't just four!
While Jiangnan was moving, Ye Ying also sprang into action!
Her ability was like the Flash incarnate—the fastest woman alive!
Her body shot out like a phantom, her golden middle finger stabbing repeatedly. Before the three on the left could release their detonators, she had already paralyzed them!
But three were already her limit!
Xia Yao, of course, didn't let Jiangnan down. The moment the action started, she had already unleashed her Wolf's Howl at the hooded man in the middle!
~ (˶˃᷄ mouth ˂᷅) Awoo ~
A little wolf cub's whimper echoed across the square, and the hooded man in the middle instantly froze! He was locked in a stiff state!
The detonator, which had been halfway released, stopped abruptly!
Having paralyzed four people, Jiangnan found an opening, teleported over, and stabbed out with a single finger!
All eight people were instantly paralyzed. With perfect coordination, the entire process took less than 0.5 seconds!
All eight paralyzing sensations were fed back to the Shadow Demon, leaving him completely dumbfounded!
At the same time, in the crowd, three Dragon Abyss operatives in plain clothes lunged like tigers and tackled one person!
They tore open his clothes to reveal a bomb strapped to his body, but it hadn't detonated successfully!
The three plainclothes Dragon Abyss operatives had him under control, firmly gripping the detonator!
This was the person who had been found suspicious during the earlier check, but they hadn't acted rashly, pretending not to notice!
The hand signal the Dragon Abyss commander had given Jiangnan earlier meant "action is a go"!
With internal and external coordination, everything was under control in less than half a second!
Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief!
My Paralyzing Finger Point technique isn't just for show, is it?
But just then, among the crowd, Wang Gang's gaze fell on a young girl!
A vicious grin was plastered on her face, and the moment he saw her black pupils, his heart skipped a beat!
"Not good!"
She was surrounded by people!
At this moment, Wang Gang recklessly bulled through the crowd, charging desperately toward the girl!
The girl pulled a detonator from her pocket and let go!
"Hehe, you still lost!"
Hidden in the crowd was yet another one that had slipped through the net, and the moment she released the detonator, the black faded from her eyes!
The Shadow Demon had completed its mission and left!
The bomb vest strapped to her body immediately began its countdown!
3!
Wang Gang's eyes bulged like copper bells!
He hoisted the girl onto his shoulder. The surrounding crowd had no idea what was happening!
Wang Gang clenched his steel teeth, his face filled with resolve!
He crouched down, and his powerful quadriceps exploded with strength that surpassed the limits of the human body!
The bulging muscles even tore his pants!
"Ah!!!"
A furious roar!
The devilish muscles from Strength 2.0, combined with Wang Gang's iron will, launched him into the air!
The force beyond his limits tore his muscles and broke the bones in his legs!
"Boom!"
He actually managed to shatter the marble, leaping over 40 meters into the sky!
"Boss Nan!"
A roar echoed across the square!
2!
Jiangnan's eyes instantly locked onto Wang Gang, who was soaring through the air. His mind went blank for a moment, then he immediately snapped back!
"Damn!"
His body teleported, appearing beside Wang Gang!
He took the girl, ripped off her down jacket, and exposed the liquid bomb vest underneath!
Seeing the bright red "1" on the countdown timer, Jiangnan's eyes turned bloodshot!
He grabbed the bomb vest with both hands and tore hard, snapping the chains that held it!
"0!"
Jiangnan opened a Space Wormhole high in the sky and hurled the bomb inside!
He only had time to pull the girl into his arms, turning his back to the bomb. He didn't even have a moment to activate a Spiritual Art!
At the same time, he shouted:
"Dragon Abyss! Human wall!"
Jiangnan didn't need to remind them. The moment Wang Gang jumped, the Dragon Abyss commander already sensed something was wrong!
The Dragon Abyss soldiers standing behind the cordon straightened their bodies, spread their arms, and those with defensive Spiritual Arts activated them!
Those without used their bodies to block!
Even if I stand before the gates of hell, behind me there will be nothing but peace!
Because the people behind us are worth protecting with our lives!
It is duty! It is mission!
"Boom!"
The liquid bomb, only half-thrown into the Space Wormhole, detonated violently!
Half of the blast passed through the Space Wormhole and erupted high in the sky, while the other half pressed down!
Jiangnan shielded the girl tightly, protecting her from the shockwave of the explosion!
He then turned his head to look at Wang Gang, who was facing the blast head-on and was swallowed by the flames!
Besides Jiangnan and the girl, Wang Gang, who had jumped up holding the girl, was closest to the explosion!
And he wasn't even a Spirit Warrior!
By the time Jiangnan deployed a Spatial Barrier to block the blast, it was already too late!
Everything had happened too fast!
Flames shot into the sky, the shockwave spread, and many people's ears rang painfully as their vision blurred!
By the time they came to their senses, it was all over!
Jiangnan landed hard, smashing a huge crater into the ground!
He reached out and caught Wang Gang as he fell from the sky!
The Dragon Abyss soldiers quickly gathered around!
Wang Gang's front side was covered in burns, and shrapnel had left bloody holes all over his body. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood!
His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Jiangnan: "The... the girl! Is she okay?"
The Dragon Abyss commander shouted, "Medic! A healer! Get over here!"
Jiangnan was frantic. He quickly pulled out a Small Ginseng and stuffed it into Wang Gang's mouth: "She's fine. Eat this quickly! You can still make it!"
Wang Gang, who was barely hanging on by a thread from the explosion, swallowed the Small Ginseng but was still coughing up blood heavily!
Several medics rushed over and immediately began using healing techniques on Wang Gang!
Jiangnan's eyes were filled with shock!
Brother Wang Gang was an absolute beast! An ordinary person, relying on nothing but his own muscles, jumped over 40 meters high?
He even broke his legs in the process. What terrifying willpower!
It's true that in desperate situations, people can explode with power beyond their limits!
Even with Strength 2.0, a jump of over 40 meters is terrifying for an ordinary person!
Were you a spring in a past life?
Jiangnan quickly channeled his spiritual power to help Wang Gang digest the ginseng. But as he did, his expression suddenly turned strange!
Wu Liang and the others rushed over!
They saw that the back of Jiangnan's clothes had been blown off, revealing a large expanse of his back!
His skin was just a little red, but otherwise completely fine!
They all stared at Jiangnan like he was a monster. What kind of freakish physical constitution is this?
He took the full force of the explosion head-on and didn't even get hurt?
The girl lying in Jiangnan's arms slowly regained consciousness. Although she wasn't injured, her ears were bleeding from the blast!
She crawled up crying, thanking Jiangnan profusely!
Jiangnan grinned and said, "You should thank Brother Wang Gang. He saved you!"
At this point, Wang Gang's injuries had improved considerably. He had barely escaped death!
Faced with the girl's thanks, his face turned bright red: "There's nothing to thank. It's what I should do. I'm just an ordinary person!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "You're no ordinary person!"
Wang Gang looked confused!
When Jiangnan probed him earlier, he found that Wang Gang actually had a tiny, sesame-seed-sized amount of spiritual power in his body!
It was so weak it was almost undetectable!
He must have awakened an ability, otherwise there would be no spiritual power in his body at all!
But just how horrible was his talent and aptitude? So bad that he couldn't even sense spiritual energy?
So bad that even after awakening an ability, he had no spiritual power to channel it?
Even worse than Jiangnan himself back in the day!
Looking at Wang Gang's bewildered expression, Jiangnan grinned: "Wait until I finish up here, then get in touch with me. I have a big gift for you!"
Wang Gang's expression turned serious, and he said hatefully, "Don't let those scumbags off easy!"
Jiangnan patted his shoulder: "Don't worry. Anyone who messes with me doesn't get off easy!"
Ye Ying hurried over: "Just to be safe, Mila has a tracker on her!"
"The tracker shows she's already left Jingdu and is heading south, moving fast. In a few hours, she'll probably be out of the country!"
"The higher-ups already know about this and have sent a large number of people to intercept her. What's our next move?"
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes: "Tell the higher-ups to just go through the motions. Don't actually stop her. Don't let Dracula realize that Mila has a tracker on her!"
"Since Mila is acting as bait, as her big brother, I'm going to use her to lure out the remnants of Dracula's lair!"
"They've crossed the line time and time again. Dracula has to be completely destroyed! If they want to play, I'll play with them to the end!"
Ye Ying worriedly said, "But what if she really gets taken to their lair? Dracula has Dao Heaven level fighters! We..."
Jiangnan laughed: "Like we don't have any of our own?"
"You go after her. Keep in touch and report the situation. I'll find someone to take them on. This time, Dracula will disappear from the face of the Earth!"
With that, he handed Ye Ying two pairs of Extreme-Speed Slippers!
Ye Ying's pretty face darkened. She gave Jiangnan a headbutt, put on the Extreme-Speed Slippers, and her legs spun like wind-fire wheels as she disappeared in a flash!
At that moment, the nine hostages still had their bombs on, and they were all still paralyzed on the spot!
Two bomb disposal experts were sweating profusely as they fiddled with the devices, but they couldn't get them off!
The Dragon Abyss commander shouted, "Where are the bomb disposal specialists that were called in? Why aren't they here yet?"
Jiangnan raised his hand: "I'm a bomb disposal expert! Let me handle it!"
The Dragon Abyss commander was taken aback: "Boss Nan? You know bomb disposal? This isn't a joke, you know. If it blows up, it's all over. What kind of bombs have you disarmed before?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "I've disarmed a nuclear bomb!"
Dragon Abyss commander: (٥≖_≖)
"Go ahead. Forget I said anything..."
