“Trump card?”
Hearing Abel muttering to himself, Fang Qiu smiled indifferently.
Abel was indeed a very powerful metahuman of the fire element.
Fire-element metahumans were actually a kind of special people. They could maintain a certain level of connection with and manipulate the fire energy in the air either at birth or through effort.
In general, fire-element metahumans could only control fire energy, but Abel had obviously reached another level. He could even assimilate his body into fire energy.
Fang Qiu didn’t know how he made it, but he could tell that Abel was definitely stronger than an ordinary fire-element metahuman.
Perhaps this was just a special ability Abel acquired as a metahuman. Just like how anti-poison worked, most of the world’s viruses couldn’t survive in the blazing heat.
Since Abel was able to transform his body into flames, he could naturally burn all the viruses to death.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the plutonium material map and I’ll let you go back alive. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you will die in one piece!”
Abel stared at Fang Qiu.
As he spoke, a ball of flames surged out from his palm, and then it expanded explosively with the wind before instantly spreading out and completely covering his entire arm.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t reported to my country yet.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
He knew that another reason Abel had hesitated for so long was that he was afraid of Huaxia. Fang Qiu feared that Abel would report the situation to his superiors. Abel must have felt the same way.
“Hehe…”
At Fang Qiu’s words, Abel immediately laughed out and said, “Seems like I have to pick up the plutonium material map myself.”
“Woosh!”
As soon as he had finished speaking, the flames all over his right arm swelled and burned fiercely, as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured over it.
“Whoosh!”
As the flames swelled, Abel moved and punched Fang Qiu directly with his blazing fist.
“Come on,” Fang Qiu thought to himself.
With a stir of his mind, he held the sword in his right hand and slashed.
An incomparably sharp ray of sword Qi suddenly shot out of the blade. Like an arrow leaving a bowstring, it met with Abel’s fist head-on.
“Bam!”
The moment the collision happened, both the sword Qi and raging fire soared into the sky at the same time.
Fang Qiu and Abel moved simultaneously and collided with each other at high speed.
“Clank, clank, clank…”
When the long sword struck Abel’s fist, loud sounds like pieces of metal hitting each other rang out. Abel’s fists seemed to be made of metal. With his fist wrapped in flames, he was not afraid of the long sword in Fang Qiu’s hand at all.
While attacking, Fang Qiu activated his Divine Consciousness to analyze the energy on Abel’s fist.
“It’s indeed fire-attribute energy.”
Fang Qiu found the energy that Abel was using was rich. That was why it could appear directly in the form of a flame.
It worked just like Fang Qiu’s internal Qi. When Abel used it, he could condense a protective shield over his fist, blocking most of the attacks!
“Although they look different, they actually are the same kind of energy.
“Looks like there’s nothing for me to learn.
“Huaxia martial arts turn out to be much more profound.”
With this thought in mind, Fang Qiu no longer held back. He mobilized his internal Qi and launched fierce attacks in succession.
He had wanted to try learning something from these foreign metahumans and creating something like Invisibility so that it would be convenient for him to take action in the future.
To his dismay, he discovered that they were using the same energy and that Invisibility was just a skill his opponent had acquired through hard cultivation. Even if he learned his ability, it was difficult for him to acquire the same special ability.
Moreover, these foreign abilities were no match for Huaxia martial arts.
As a result, Fang Qiu simply dropped the idea of learning these abilities.
“Why?”
Abel, who was not strong enough, kept retreating facing Fang Qiu’s sudden and fierce attacks!
Fang Qiu was able to kill a Half-step Guru. No matter how many powerful special abilities Abel had, he was merely a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. They were too far apart in strength.
As such, Fang Qiu had no problem fighting him at all!
“How could this be? How could he be this powerful?”
Abel was taken aback.
He thought that John Doe seemed formidable because everybody hid their strength on purpose. It never crossed his mind that John Doe’s strength might be this terrifying.
With his current strength, there was no way he could stop John Doe.
Abel kept retreating.
He could even clearly feel that the energy on his fist was about to be dispersed. The flames which had blazed so brightly only flickered faintly now.
“Eeeahhh!!!”
Taking a sudden step backward, Abel roared and stared at Fang Qiu, saying, “You forced me to do this!”
“Is he going to use his unique skill?”
Fang Qiu beamed.
If it were not for Abel’s so-called trump card, he would not have wasted so much time. He only needed three moves to take care of an ordinary ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian.
“Arrgh… Ah…”
Abel retreated three meters and roared in a rage.
As the roar resounded through the space, the dying flames on his right arm flared again and began to spread wildly.
“Rumble…”
In the blink of an eye, the blazing flames rose into the sky and completely covered Abel’s body.
This time, it was not just his right arm.
Instead, it was his whole body.
Abel transformed into a pure flaming man!
“Go to hell!”
The standard accent of someone from L’hexagone was heard.
“Hmm?”
At this point, Fang Qiu was shocked.
He clearly felt that when the roar reached his ears, a destructive aura burst out of Abel’s body. Moreover, this aura did not disappear. Instead, it was like a heart as each vibration seemed like a heartbeat. As the number of vibrations increased, the destructive aura released by the energy waves was growing.
“This feeling…”
Fang Qiu raised an eyebrow and murmured, “Is he going to blow himself up?”
But just then, a furious roar rose to the sky.
“Hurricane of Roaring Flames!”
Something seemed to have exploded inside Abel’s body.
“Boom!”
With a muffled thud, a terrible wave of energy spread. As soon as it appeared, the flames around Abel swept out and soared into the air, as if they had been stimulated by something.
The blazing flames were like raging waves!
The flames spread out the moment they rushed to the sky, completely enveloping the surrounding area of 50 meters, forming a gigantic tornado of flames.
Once this tornado emerged, it engulfed Fang Qiu.
Abel laughed maniacally. “Perish, all of you! Everything will be destroyed. Nothing can escape the fire!”
“Is that all you can do?”
Abel was laughing wildly when he heard a cold voice.
Trembling, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure slowly coming up before him.
A layer of sky-blue, crystal-clear energy completely enveloped the figure, blocking the horrible rotating flames.
This man was Fang Qiu!
“What?”
Seeing John Doe, Abel was instantly dumbfounded.
“The earth is charred and the plants are burnt to ashes. How could you be all right?
“Impossible. You are not a human…
“You are not a human!”
Each pupil of Abel’s contracted into a dot as the figure appeared.
“If that’s all you’ve got, then die!”
Fang Qiu shook his head and waved his arm.
A blur flashed past.
Before Abel could even react, a bloody wound had appeared on his throat.
Covering his neck with both hands, he stared at Fang Qiu and asked with reluctance, “You, how did you make it?”
“Poison?”
Fang Qiu raised an eyebrow.
He knew that the last thing Abel could understand, besides this hard-to-accept result, was why he had not been poisoned.
As for everything else, Abel understood that the difference in power was impossible to make up for!
“You… why aren’t you poisoned?” Abel asked in a hoarse voice, unwilling to resign himself to his fate.
“You know too little about Huaxia.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and continued, “There is a medical book named Canon of Poison in Huaxia, and I can be considered the inheritor of it of this generation!”
Abel’s pupils dilated at this in an instant.
Then he fell back feebly with a bitter smile on his face.
“Thud!”
With the last noise he left in this world, Abel died.
At this point, his life came to an end!
“I hope you did not inform the L’hexagone government.”
Fang Qiu let out a soft sigh.
He knew very well that when the special envoys from the five countries came to the land of Zhongdong, fighting was inevitable.
On the surface, it was a union of five countries, but in reality, every country was very clear about the real purpose behind this journey. Of course, the countries would not interfere in secret fighting, but open fighting was not allowed!
That was why Fang Qiu asked Abel if he had reported it to the government!
Now that Abel was dead, the alliance of the five countries existed in name only.
However, this matter was not over yet.
Looking at the scorched earth on the ground, Fang Qiu waved his right hand and directly controlled his internal Qi to carry Abel’s body onto the car. Then, he continued to move east at a high speed.
“I lacked careful consideration.”
In the car, Fang Qiu smelled the blood and murmured, “I seriously underestimated them. I can’t make such a mistake again!”
He drove tens of kilometers into a dense forest.
Then he stopped the car, dug a hole in the forest, and buried Abel.
Firstly, he didn’t want the news of Abel’s death to come out so early, because it could easily arouse suspicion. Secondly, Abel was a special envoy of a country, despite his schemes. It wouldn’t be a good idea to leave his body out in the open like that.
After that, Fang Qiu continued to drive all the way east at the fastest speed.
He was worried. Since a man from L’hexagone had made the right guess, over time, there was a good chance that other people would find it out too, so he had to speed up.
Three days later, Fang Qiu finally arrived at the border of Huaxia.
