As the dust billowed, the people on the scene were all dumbfounded. Everything happened so fast their brains couldn't process it. They could only stare, mouths agape, as under their very gaze—
SCREEECH—
The grating sound of twisting steel erupted from the dust.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—
The noise of floor tiles being ripped up followed.
A figure erged first, breaking through the shroud of dust. It was the man in black who had rushed to the rescue!
His right hand was extended forward, maintaining its previous stance, having already pressed a dent into the car's hood. His left hand hadn't moved; it remained behind him, protecting the two children.
His feet were planted on the ground, ordinarily as stable as a coiled dragon. But now, he was facing a car. Though not very powerful, it still pushed him backward uncontrollably, gouging two deep grooves into the ground!
The man in black was none other than Zhang Beixing. Upon realizing the car was out of control and the situation critical, he had instantly rushed to help.
Feeling the imnse force from his hand, veins bulged on Zhang Beixing's arm, and his muscles swelled like a coiled dragon. Even his heart rate quickened.
Sensing the power surging from within due to accelerated blood circulation, Zhang Beixing clenched his teeth and slamd his hand downward.
"Stop!"
BOOM!
The sound of a heavy collision rang out.
Under the formidable pressure Zhang Beixing exerted, the front of the sedan was slamd into the ground by his hand.
In an instant, silence fell over the entire scene!
Watching the car's rear lift, its wheels spinning uselessly in the air, then looking at Zhang Beixing, who had single-handedly forced the car to the ground, people seed to have lost their voices.
They just stood dumbstruck, mouths opening and closing, unable to utter a sound. They were stunned! Their worldview had been shattered.
Only a mont later did soone manage to choke out an exclamation, "Holy shit?!"
Though quiet, it was strikingly clear at that mont. With this cry, the previously silent crowd snapped back to reality, utterly shocked as they comprehended the unbelievable event that had just unfolded before them.
"Am I seeing things? Did that guy really stop the runaway sedan with one hand?"
"How is that even possible? It's utterly absurd! Even if that sedan wasn't going very fast, it's still a car! To stop it with sheer human strength... I... I don't even know how to describe what I'm feeling right now!"
"Is this guy even human?"
"Speaking of which, doesn't he look familiar? Like we've seen him sowhere before?"
"Hey, you're right, he does look familiar... Damn, isn't that Brother Bei?"
"Brother Bei? It's really him? Holy shit, no wonder then! That dude is notoriously outrageous. Just last month, I saw on Douyin that he'd mastered Qi Control, and now this month, he can physically stop a sedan?"
"Shit, is this what a Hidden Essence Martial Artist is capable of? So outrageous!"
"Aweso! That's my Brother Bei, truly fucking aweso!"
"Alright, alright, enough chitchat! Go help! See if anyone's hurt. If there are injuries, get them to the hospital, quick!"
"Oh, right, right! Rescue, rescue!"
Snapping back to their senses, people hurried forward to assess the scene. Zhang Beixing, after forcing the sedan still, looked at its now-motionless state and sighed in relief.
Then, recalling the incident, he couldn't help but feel a lingering trepidation. I could never have done this before. Is it because of the Postnatal Five Qi Cleansing thod? Zhang Beixing mused.
That was the only plausible explanation. It surprised him. Who would have thought that after tempering his body for so long, he had beco this strong?
He lifted his arm from the car and examined it, finding only a few minor hairline fractures. Given his physique and recovery rate, they would heal completely before the night was out.
Zhang Beixing looked down at the two children he had shielded. The sudden, bizarre turn of events had clearly terrified them. They clutched the corner of Zhang Beixing's clothes tightly, their faces still etched with fear.
"Kids, are you okay?" Zhang Beixing asked.
The children didn't speak, just nodded dumbly. Seeing this, Zhang Beixing knew they wouldn't recover quickly and said no more. He gently nudged them to move to a safer place, away from the imdiate danger.
Then, Zhang Beixing walked over to the car and wrenched open the driver's side door. He hauled the dazed driver out from behind the deployed airbag. Lifting the driver as if he were a re chick, Zhang Beixing asked with a nacing expression, "What's your deal? Driving like that on a public street, are you trying to kill soone?"
If his body hadn't been fortified by the Postnatal Five Qi Cleansing thod, rendering it incredibly strong, he wouldn't have stood a chance. Moreover, if he hadn't been present today, that car, with its montum, wouldn't have stopped before killing or maiming at least five or six people.
