Chapter 20: He certainly possesses the bearing of a pope.
In the warehouse of the Reformation headquarters.
Cheng Yong and Xu Yuan stared at each other, the air thick with an atmosphere of impending explosion.
Cheng Yong looked down at the wishing figure below with a surprised expression.
It was not only his wish that allowed him to travel from Daxia to this place in just a few hours, but it also exceeded his expectations.
Even the fighting prowess that Xu Yuan had just displayed outside the warehouse had left him somewhat horrified!
This has clearly exceeded the scope of normal human behavior!
He originally thought he was the only lucky one to gain superpowers, but it seems that wishing was also...
Is this the reason why Bevy leans towards making a wish?
Cheng Yong realized he had seen the truth!
However, Cheng Yong's surprise quickly turned into delight.
Xu Yuan's fighting power surpasses that of normal humans, but he himself is no pushover!
For him, the stronger the fighting power of the wish, the more advantageous it is!
Once I control and brainwash Xu Yuan, this brainless brute, wouldn't I have an even more powerful henchman?
One wish is far more powerful than a hundred believers!
He's even thought about sending Xu Yuan on some decapitation missions in the future!
What if I lose to Xu Yuan?
This possibility had never crossed his mind.
I'm the main character!
How could the protagonist possibly lose?
Making a wish is just a beginner's gift for the protagonist!
With this thought in mind, Cheng Yong silently activated his supernatural ability, and the cold energy surged once more, accompanied by his whispered voice.
"Make a wish, do you have a dream...?"
Make a wish: ? ? ?
Are they now offering the "dream mentor" service?
Is this a cult or a pyramid scheme?
However, Xu Yuan also sensed that nauseating smell!
Exactly the same as the four gods in the dream!
Like a venomous snake, it coils around my body, attempting to invade my mind...
It seems that Cheng Yong is the key to all of this!
Luckily, I arrived early; otherwise, if Cheng Yong returned to China, he might have actually harmed someone close to him...
The thought of the fanatical looks in the eyes of those Reformists sent a chill down Xu Yuan's spine...
Xu Yuan could sense that this chilling aura, like the four gods in his dream, had no effect on him.
In that case, there's no rush to take action. It's better to see what Cheng Yong plans to do and see if we can get some information out of him...
Xu Yuan didn't move, remaining standing in the same spot, calmly watching Cheng Yong.
It wasn't that he didn't want to cooperate with the other party's performance, it's just...
This was also the first time he had faced an opponent with the power of the Four Gods in real life, and he really didn't know how to act.
In contrast, consider Cheng Yong.
He saw Xu Yuan standing silently in place, but he was overjoyed.
It worked!
In the past, when he used words to bewitch gangsters, they behaved in the same way.
"Do you see the blood-red numbers in the sky? That is divine revelation..."
"I received divine revelation; I alone am the chosen one..."
"Join me! Join my Reformation cult! Only change can save the world..."
"..."
Make a wish: ...
I listened for ages, but I didn't get any useful information at all!
However, in terms of chanting scriptures, Cheng Yong does indeed have the bearing of a pope...
Seeing that Cheng Yong was still planning to continue chanting the scriptures, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel more compelled to stop.
Push off the ground with both legs.
"boom!"
A hole appeared in the ground.
The next instant, he appeared in front of Cheng Yong.
At this moment, Cheng Yong hadn't even reacted yet, his face still bearing a condescending expression and hypocritical pity.
"What are you babbling about? Shut up!"
Xu Yuan threw a punch, hitting Cheng Yong directly in the mouth, thus eliminating the source of the noise.
"puff!"
Cheng Yong coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with his broken teeth!
Only when he felt the pain did Cheng Yong realize what was happening.
He stared in horror at the wish that was so close to him.
How is that possible?
How come he wasn't affected at all?
Even if making a wish awakens a superpower, it shouldn't be completely ineffective!
Seeing that Xu Yuan was about to throw a second punch, Cheng Yong hurriedly shouted indistinctly.
"Make a wish, I..."
But unfortunately.
His mouth wasn't as fast as his fist, which made a wish.
"boom!"
Another punch was thrown, silencing Cheng Yong's unspoken words.
Now, Cheng Yong was completely speechless, all his teeth shattered into pieces by Xu Yuan's concentrated power.
"Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart!"
"boom!"
"Like Mount Tai pressing down!"
"boom!"
"Two dragons playing with a pearl!"
"boom!"
Just a moment ago, Cheng Yong was arrogant and domineering, but now he was being tossed around in the air by Xu Yuan like a sandbag!
It might not even be able to land.
At this moment, Cheng Yong's mind was filled with memories of the past.
At Xingcheng University, the despair Xu Yuan felt when he pinned himself and other student council members to the ground and beat them up...
The helplessness I felt as my father was taken away by inspectors right in front of me at the gate of Xingcheng University...
If I hadn't started the trouble with the wisher in the first place, would things have turned out differently...?
"dad……"
In his hazy state, Cheng Yong desperately missed his father. If only his father were still here…
While playing the Sky Superman wishing game, Cheng Yong raised an eyebrow upon hearing Cheng Yong's incoherent shouts.
"Hajiyong, you bastard, you actually called me 'Dad' just to beg for mercy? You have no backbone!"
"Crow...flying on an airplane!"
"boom!"
As Xu Yuan unleashed his final punch, a deep crater blasted open in the warehouse's hard concrete floor.
Looking at Cheng Yong, who was lying motionless in the middle of the deep pit, Xu Yuan scratched his head.
He seems to be a little dead...
He keenly sensed that although the nauseating aura of the gaunt old man on Cheng Yong had faded considerably, it still lingered like a maggot clinging to his bones.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely dead; he was just temporarily unconscious due to the severity of his injuries.
After all, it's worth three million!
Fortunately, Cheng Yong was protected by the aura of the "God of Wisdom and Hope".
"Hey! Wake up!"
Xu Yuan squatted down next to Cheng Yong and used a wooden board she picked up from the side to slap his face hard.
After countless attempts at resuscitation, Cheng Yong finally groggily woke up from his coma.
Upon seeing Xu Yuan, he was terrified and tried to struggle to his feet and crawl backward.
However, his injuries were too severe, and he was unable to get up.
"Make a wish..."
Cheng Yong wanted to beg for mercy.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't the first time he had tried to beg for mercy.
After the first punch, Xu Yuan wanted to beg for mercy.
But unfortunately, the first punch he threw was aimed at the mouth...
"Snapped!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Yuan raised her hand and slapped Cheng Yong across the face again. "Answer what I ask!"
Cheng Yong: ...
"Very well, tell me how you got your power?"
"I...I don't know..." Cheng Yong stammered, "After getting off the plane...I was kidnapped...and then...I was able to control other people..."
Xu Yuan frowned, carefully discerning his vague confession, and discovered that Cheng Yong knew nothing about the nature of his power, and was more like a lucky (or unlucky) person who accidentally obtained a dangerous weapon.
"Then which god told you about the divine revelation and the blood-red numbers?"
"I made it all up...it was all a lie to...establish a sect..."
"Why bother establishing this damned cult?"
"Because of divine revelation, a voice told me that as long as I can bewitch more people, I can gain more power..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"God? You're nowhere near as resilient as the god you're talking about!"
Cheng Yong stared at Xu Yuan in shock; the amount of information conveyed in those words was enormous!
Could it be that there really is a God in this world?
Did Xu Yuan even manage to defeat his opponent?
At this thought, Cheng Yong was filled with despair.
The "protagonist dream" that had sustained him crumbled completely at this moment, shattering into nothingness. It turned out that he had never been a chosen one; from beginning to end, he was just a clown, a pathetic wretch who could be crushed with a mere flick of the wrist by a truly powerful being!
He was overwhelmed by immense despair and the will to survive.
"I've told you everything I know, can you let me go now?"
"I swear, from this day forward, I will never appear before you again!"
Even if he's not the main character, he can still live a wealthy life in this foreign land thanks to his special abilities.
I have so much of my life ahead of me to enjoy, I absolutely cannot die here!
but……
Xu Yuan's next words plunged him into an icy abyss once again.
"Hmm, in that respect, you are quite similar to the god you speak of."
"But when will I agree to let you go?"
