Seeing Gu Chen, who was wearing a mask, readily admit he'd been discovered, the short-haired man in the army-green uniform standing behind him couldn't help but be taken aback.
Logically, an intruder sneaking in like this should have put up a fight and denied everything. He never expected the other party to be so calm, instead curiously asking where he'd been exposed. Were secret agents this arrogant nowadays?!
"Hmph... Since you know you've been discovered, I advise you to surrender immediately and stop struggling pointlessly. I will arrest you for the crime of stealing state secrets. Now, hands behind your head and lie on the ground."
The researchers standing nearby saw this and their expressions changed slightly. They quickly retreated to the side, while the nearby security personnel reacted swiftly, staring menacingly at the intruder.
Surrender immediately! Hands behind your head, lie on the ground?!
Hearing the demand, Gu Chen glanced at the man. The man's vital energy had reached the Hidden Strength level. He should be a member of the elite special forces team that Fang Xiu mentioned, cultivated by the authorities using 'Peiyuan Pills'.
If it were anyone else, they would have obediently surrendered. However, let alone the fact that he had now cultivated the Five Organs chapter of the Human Immortal Martial Dao, even if he were still at his previous Pillaring realm, he could have easily crushed this guy.
"Surrender? I'm very sorry, but with your current realm and strength, you are likely not my opponent..."
Gu Chen sighed, his expression tactful as he spoke to the man in the army-green uniform.
Hearing this, the man in the army-green uniform standing opposite couldn't help but feel secretly enraged. He never expected the other party to be so arrogant, completely disregarding him, a top special forces member chosen from thousands of people. He decided to make the intruder regret his underestimation later.
"I see you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Remember this, the one apprehending you is the captain of the Divine Blade Special Forces, Wang Hong..."
After saying this, the man in the army-green uniform, whose name was 'Wang Hong', immediately made his move. He crossed five or six meters in a single step, his hands clawing fiercely like an eagle's talons. The wind was sharp, and his movements were clean, ruthless, and direct.
Watching the rapidly enlarging hand-claws in his vision, a look of curiosity appeared on Gu Chen's face. He wanted to know how strong this Hidden Strength level, cultivated by the authorities using modern technology, truly was, and to see the gap between technology and the National Martial Arts system he had forged through his system.
He stood his ground, not dodging or evading, allowing the eagle-like claws to come at him. This action made the other party pause in surprise. Wang Hong had never encountered an opponent like this before. Did this guy think his body was made of steel? To underestimate him so much!!
"Truly arrogant! I'd like to see how hard your body is!!"
Wang Hong laughed in anger, inwardly vowing to make this intruder who underestimated him pay a heavy price. Under the impetus of Hidden Strength, the muscles in his arm tensed, and his power was even greater than before.
Snap!!
The two hands, like eagle claws, landed on Gu Chen's shoulders, his fingers like hooks, gripping the shoulder blades and the surrounding muscles. A sinister Hidden Strength surged forward. This was a military grappling technique, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, aiming to capture the enemy as quickly as possible.
A cold smirk appeared on Wang Hong's face. He forcefully twisted, intending to dislocate the intruder's shoulders. However, he was surprised to find that his Hidden Strength seemed to vanish into the sea, leaving no trace, completely unable to affect the person in front of him. The man hadn't even moved.
This situation made him involuntarily widen his eyes, suspecting he was hallucinating. Disbelieving, he tensed his muscles again and pushed his Hidden Strength with all his might.
With his current Hidden Strength level, the force of one hand exceeded 800 pounds. When channeling Hidden Strength, the instantaneous burst of power could twist steel bars into pretzels. For an ordinary person, their shoulder would have been crushed by now.
Yet, even so, he was still unable to affect the person in front of him. The gap between them was too vast. Who exactly was this intruder?!
"This strength isn't bad, but it's still worse than a Hidden Strength boxer who trained step by step..."
Gu Chen commented, then gave his shoulders a slight shake. As his shoulder muscles relaxed and tightened, a terrifying shockwave erupted, like a taut bowstring being released. Wang Hong's face changed drastically. He felt as if his hands were gripping a giant dragon; the terrifying, vibrating force made his hands go numb as if electrocuted.
Stumble, stumble, stumble...
After retreating five or six steps, Wang Hong finally stopped. He stared at Gu Chen standing opposite him with a look of horror, and said in disbelief.
