In an instant, Shamrock felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Even a single glance from him made Shamrock feel immense pressure.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, his voice trembling as he said:
"Xia... Xia Chen? What are you doing here?"
"The intelligence clearly indicates you should be on Future Island right now!"
Xia Chen's eyes were indifferent as he spoke softly:
"You've been investigating me for so long and you still don't know my capabilities? It seems your intelligence work hasn't been done well enough!"
Before Shamrock could say anything, Xia Chen's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Shamrock.
"!!!"
"When?!"
Shamrock's pupils shrank sharply. He hadn't seen Xia Chen's movements clearly at all, and had no idea how he had instantly teleported from the sky to this place.
But his body's instinct made him instinctively back away, only Xia Chen was faster than him.
"Boom!"
Xia Chen extended his right hand, clenched his fist, and instantly appeared in front of Shamrock, delivering a powerful punch to his body.
"Bang!"
A dull thud rang out, Shamrock was instantly blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His entire body arched up like a boiled shrimp, drawing an arc in the air.
"Xia... Xia..."
Seeing this, Gunko trembled violently and slurred his words.
Xia Chen turned his head in response to the sound, and his indifferent gaze instantly filled Gunko with a strong sense of fear.
Although they had always heard how strong Xia Chen was, even their World Government didn't dare to provoke him before he spoke up.
However, it's difficult to truly appreciate Xia Chen Xia Chen's strength without having faced him directly.
But now she understands!
Xia Chen simply stood there quietly, but the pressure he exerted on her was far greater than that of the Five Elders, the strongest he had ever seen.
This was... an indescribable feeling that completely robbed Gunko of the composure he had shown when facing Hancock.
They didn't even have the courage to take action.
"Your World Government is really something! Do you think you're so powerful just because we haven't attacked you?"
"Have you been sitting on the throne of world hegemon for too long?"
"Since that's the case, then I don't mind dragging you down with me!"
Xia Chen's voice was incredibly calm, but the hidden anger within it made Gunko tremble again, causing him to fall to the ground, his body soaked.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, and golden light flashed in his pupils.
The next moment--
A golden laser beam shot out from Xia Chen's eyes and pierced through Gunko's body in the blink of an eye.
"Pfft!"
A spray of blood splattered, followed by a mouthful of blood gushing from Gunko's mouth.
"Cough cough!"
Gunko couldn't help but cough twice, and the strength in her body receded rapidly like a tide. She looked down with difficulty and saw a bloody hole in her chest.
Blood kept seeping out of it.
Having cultivated the Life Return, she could feel that her heart had been pierced, leaving her with absolutely no chance of survival.
With great effort, he raised his head. Knowing he was about to die, Gunko's fear of Xia Chen gradually subsided, and he simply whispered:
"Your Majesty... Xia Chen, indeed... as expected..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gunko's head lolled to the side, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless, with no strength left to support him.
After doing all this, Xia Chen's eyes remained completely unmoved.
Killing someone is just a trivial matter for him.
Xia Chen slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the direction where Shamrock had been sent flying, before his figure disappeared from the spot once more.
On the other side, Shamrock crawled out of a huge crater, but as soon as he sat up, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with horror and fear.
He had assumed Xia Chen would be strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
He now understood why even when his father and the Five Elders joined forces, they couldn't defeat Xia Chen. With that kind of strength, even if a few more came, it wouldn't make a difference!
As things stand, Xia Chen is absolutely the strongest person he has ever met, without a doubt!
Shamrock quickly realized what was happening and muttered to himself:
"No! Now is not the time to think about these things. I need to escape quickly!"
"That's right! Run away quickly!"
"I am the captain of the Holy Knights, and I am very likely to succeed the Five Elders in the future. I absolutely cannot die here!"
Thinking of this, Shamrock immediately stood up, intending to escape from this place.
Although he knew the chances were slim, because he hadn't even seen Xia Chen's movements when Xia Chen made his move, it was clear that Xia Chen's speed far exceeded his expectations.
But no matter how slim the hope, he absolutely could not give up.
He would try anything, no matter how small!
However, as he stood up, fear once again filled his heart.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him; it was Xia Chen.
"You... you!"
"You dare bring troops here, you Stanks! You know Amazon Lily is my territory?"
"Ask Imu if she dares to do that!"
"!!!"
"You... how do you know about Imu!"
Shamrock was shocked, completely unaware of why Xia Chen called him Stanks.
"How I know about Imu is none of your concern! You just need to know..."
"Because of your actions! Everyone in your World Government will go down and die with you, including Imu!"
So don't worry, you won't be alone on your journey to the underworld!
Before Shamrock could say anything, countless black ice blocks condensed in the air, freezing him before he could react and forming a lifelike ice sculpture.
Xia Chen slowly turned his head and snapped his fingers.
The black ice sculpture shattered instantly, turning into countless tiny ice blocks, and Shamrock within it was naturally also divided into countless pieces.
Xia Chen slowly walked towards Hancock, during which countless Kuja warriors couldn't help but shout:
"Lord Xia Chen! Lord Xia Chen!"
At this moment, their understanding of Xia Chen's strength rose to a new level. The man who they thought was so powerful that he was invincible was killed by Xia Chen like a chick, completely powerless to resist.
Reaching Hancock, Xia Chen chuckled softly and said:
"Did I arrive just in time?"
