One Punch Man King Engine

Chapter 41 - The Broken Sonic

“King, don’t look down on me. I’m not that much weaker than you!” Sonic roared and struggled to jump up. He pounced at Wang Feng with a ferocious look on his face.

Oh!? What is this Sonic trying to do? I have already apologized. You are not injured. Is there a need to fight me to the death? Moreover, you are wriggling like an earthworm; do you have some sort of paralysis disease?

Wang Feng was stunned as he watched Sonic jump at him.

Pop! Pop!

There was the sound of a few sharp weapons hitting flesh.

“Huh?”

With great difficulty, Sonic had used his willpower to overcome the paralysis. He struggled to jump up and raise his katana to fight for his dignity. However, after being “stared” at by Wang Feng again, his whole body suddenly stiffened. His body, which previously only felt numb, was quickly submerged by paralysis.

He tried to control his body, but it was useless. No matter how hard he tried, he still could not stop the perception of his body from being deprived by the mysterious power.

Damn, damn, I can’t admit defeat. I have to counterattack!!

He roared in his heart and tried to control his body, but he was like an ant in an antlion pit. No matter how much he struggled, he could not jump out of the terrifying “pit.”

Gradually, he gave up. No matter how much he struggled, he was still unable to resist. King’s strength made him yield in despair.

“So… so powerless, so… so powerful, so… so terrifying!”

His eyes were lifeless, his face ashen. His heart was drowned in despair. The courage to fight against King had long since faded away. His body slowly fell backward.

Is this strength of the strongest man? Hehe, he completely defeated me with just two eyes. What kind of power is this? With just one glance, I can’t move at all. Ha, what a joke. I am really a ridiculous person. I actually thought that my strength was comparable to King’s. In the end, the strength I have been cultivating for decades can’t even withstand a single glance from him. My strength… So weak that I can’t even compare to King’s gaze. Ha, what a joke. Ha… Haha… Haha…

Tears slowly flowed out of his eyes. “I’m so tired. I really want to lie down and sleep like this. I don’t want to wake up again. I don’t want to face the cruel reality anymore. I don’t want to face the terrifying King anymore…”

Hey, what is this kid Sonic doing? Is he high? Well, he sure looks like he is!

Wang Feng knew nothing about what happened to Sonic, so his heart was full of confusion when he saw Sonic’s strange behavior.

“Oh, it’s this kind of look again. Is it pity or contempt? No, I understand. How can I ever see King eye-to-eye? He probably only treats me like an ant.”

Sonic’s eyes were red, and tears welled up in his eyes. “Hehe, what a powerless feeling. After training for decades, I can’t compare to King’s gaze. His strength and mine are actually worlds apart. No, I’m wrong. What qualifications do I have to be compared to King? I can’t even compare to a speck of dust on his body!”

Eh, why is Sonic crying? I didn’t do anything wrong to him, did I?

Wang Feng looked at the crying Sonic in surprise. Oh, from his appearance, he seemed to be brokenhearted? Yes, it was the feeling of losing something important. Could it be that this kid Sonic had really fallen out of love? Was that why he was so easily enraged because he was in a bad mood?

“Chief, all of our ice needles were blocked by that kid again. What should we do now?”

When Cold Wave and the others saw Sonic’s situation, they were immediately dumbfounded. It was one thing to block one wave of ice needles, but Sonic actually disregarded his own safety and blocked the second wave. This was too much!

Kill Leader clenched his glasses tightly and stared at Wang Feng and Sonic. His face alternated between red, purple, blue, and green. After a while, he slammed his glasses on the ground.

He cursed, “F*ck trying to assassinate King! I quit!”

He had carefully planned three assassination operations. The first one ended with Dark Night losing his life, and the second one ended with Blood Spike losing his life. The third time… His plan was perfect, but it seemed that even the heavens were helping King. King was lucky enough to avoid their killing intent time after time, and he even lost two elite assassins, Poison Needle and Slingshot.

I really can’t do this anymore!

It feels like we will be played to death by the heavens!

“Boss, then… then we…”

“Retreat.” Kill Leader gritted his teeth and looked at King, who had caused Wang Wang Killer Group to suffer heavy losses, as well as the unlucky Sonic. He told his remaining killers to give up on the mission of killing King.

Wang Feng had never known of Wang Wang Killer Group’s existence from beginning to end.

Well, all of this was nonsense!

…

“Why? Why is the gap between people so big? Why can’t I even compare to a single glance from King? How can King be so powerful? Why… ”

Sonic had a dejected look on his face. His eyes were unfocused, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He seemed to be smiling, yet not smiling. He seemed to be crying, yet not crying. He had completely fallen into a state of despair and was unable to snap out.

Wang Feng shook his head and sighed. “Sigh, there are many fragrant leaves in the world. Why must we fixate on unrequited love with a single flower?”

Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Leaf represents men, and flowers represent women. Then, did I just say, “There are many great guys in the world; stop liking women?” Is that the correct meaning? Don’t fall in love with girls and be gay? Shoot. I actually advised Sonic to be gay. Would he take it to heart? Oh, maybe he got inspiration from me when he fell in love with Saitama later on. If that’s true, then it would be very awkward!

“Oh, is King preparing to kill the assassin?”

Hill was shocked when he saw Wang Feng staring at Sonic. King had a record of killing assassins. He did not doubt that King would kill the assassin in front of him. However, Sonic had lost his mobility. It was a great opportunity to arrest and interrogate him. How could King kill him so easily?

He had to stop King!

Hill took a deep breath and was about to open the car door and rush over to save Sonic. However, just as he put his hand on the car door handle, Wang Feng suddenly turned around and walked towards the Monster. Hill heaved a sigh of relief and withdrew his extended hand. According to the previous record, there should be more than one killer. Therefore, he did not want to expose his whereabouts unless it was absolutely necessary. He wanted to wait for the opportunity to capture and interrogate those killers one by one. He wanted to drag out the mastermind behind the scenes and hand it over to the law!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a three-star Monster Card – Pantherhead Hedgehog.

“Yay, I obtained Demon-level Monster Card.”

After Wang Feng touched the cards on the dead Monster, he received System’s information. He was secretly happy. Although he used Vaccine Man Card, he had at least obtained a powerful Monster Card to maintain a certain level of strength.

Moreover, in the great escape of Monster Prison, not only did a Demon-level Monster escape, but there were also more than a dozen Tiger and Wolf-level Monster. Therefore, he was having a great harvest today.

“Ha, the association has so many Monsters within one branch’s Monster Prison. If I kill all the Monster in the twenty-six cities, wouldn’t I be rich?”

When Wang Feng thought of this, he suddenly had an impulse to blow up Monster Prison in other cities.
