Chapter 227: The Martial God Takes Action
When Chen Ye headed to his fourth target, something strange began happening online.
A wave of criticism against unscrupulous media erupted:
"I finally get it! The Divine Dragon came here purely for revenge—revenge against those media companies that slandered him!"
"Exactly! He didn't harm innocent civilians. He only destroyed the buildings of those shameless news outlets."
"But my house in Chouyue was destroyed by the shockwave, and many people suffered heavy losses, even losing their lives…"
"That's because the dragon's power is too overwhelming, and the damage was unintentional."
"He's not a monster—he was simply provoked! Those affected should seek compensation from the unscrupulous media."
"These media outlets deserved it. They keep spreading fake news, misleading the public."
"The Divine Dragon did the right thing. This is karma for those media companies!"
"All unscrupulous media deserve to die!"
"You're all too naive. The ones who truly deserve to die are the politicians! Media companies are just their dogs. (This user has violated guidelines and has been permanently banned.)"
It was obvious.
These so-called "netizens" were deliberately shifting the blame onto the media companies, accusing them of provoking the dragon. Such an unusual occurrence could not have been spontaneous. It was, of course, orchestrated by the White House to divert the public's anger toward the media companies.
When Chen Ye arrived in the fourth city, another strange phenomenon occurred.
Although many people were still afraid of him, a significant number of citizens had gathered the courage to follow his movements.
Chen Ye had a good idea why this was happening. Tang Zichen had been watching online discussions on her phone and keeping him updated on the shifting sentiment.
When Chen Ye reached his fourth target, he found that even more people had gathered there.
Local police had already set up barricades around the media company building to prevent civilians from getting too close and being accidentally harmed by the dragon.
On the roof of the media company building, a person was tied up. Next to them was a large whiteboard with English text written on it.
"Squad Leader, help me read what's written there," Chen Ye said in a low voice.
Tang Zichen poked her head out and translated: "It says that the person tied up is the main executive of this media company! The company's shareholders and board members are being arrested, and they will face lifelong imprisonment… Additionally, they request that when you destroy this building, you do so carefully to minimize collateral damage to the surroundings."
After hearing Tang Zichen's translation, Chen Ye was stunned.
Good grief! Just, good grief! Whoever came up with this idea was truly a genius.
This method not only let him vent his anger but also minimized collateral damage. A true talent!
Since they were being so accommodating, Chen Ye was happy to oblige.
"Boom!"
With a gentle sweep of his massive tail, the media company's building was reduced to rubble, but the surrounding area suffered minimal impact.
As for the executive tied up as a scapegoat, they were undoubtedly dead.
After completing the task, Chen Ye deliberately spoke aloud in a commanding tone: "You have done well!"
He said this in Chinese.
Then, under the gaze of countless people, he soared into the sky and flew toward a more distant location.
Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers erupted into cheers.
Meanwhile, Chen Ye had already decided to leave Ameriken territory. His next target was Australia.
Watching Chen Ye's figure rapidly vanish from their radar, countless high-ranking officials in Ameriken finally let out a sigh of relief.
Over an hour later, Chen Ye arrived over the Australian continent.
Just as he was preparing to descend toward a city—suddenly—a figure flew out from the city below, rapidly approaching him.
The figure was relatively small and did not resemble any flying monster. Instead, it had distinctly human-like limbs.
Chen Ye's sharp eyesight allowed him to see clearly—it was definitely a human!
"Chen Ye, someone is flying toward us," Tang Zichen warned.
"I see them."
Chen Ye simply stopped mid-air.
The person's flying speed was incredibly fast, so there was no need for him to move.
Tang Zichen spoke again, more serious this time: "Among all known hero abilities that successfully manifested, only two grant flight. One is B1, and the other is S2! However, neither B1 nor S2 could allow for this level of speed… So, Chen Ye, this person must be a strong individual. Their flight ability was likely obtained from the 30th Secret Realm."
Chen Ye had previously explained to Tang Zichen that anyone who completed the 30th Secret Realm would gain additional abilities or unique items.
Chen Ye fully agreed with Tang Zichen's analysis.
Because he could already tell that the person's flying technique came from Dragon Ball's "Bukujutsu" (Flight Technique).
This was someone who had survived the Dragon Ball world and completed their mission—a true powerhouse!
With this realization, Chen Ye became silently vigilant. Moments later—
"Whoosh!"
The human flew up to Chen Ye, stopping mid-air effortlessly.
The person was a middle-aged man.
He was neither too fat nor too thin, dressed in a well-fitted suit, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His demeanor was elegant, and his presence exuded an extraordinary air, like a refined nobleman.
Though he didn't look the part of a combatant, Chen Ye did not underestimate him at all.
The fact that this man could hover in the air so effortlessly without showing any signs of strain proved beyond a doubt that he was no ordinary individual.
"Hello, Mr. Dragon! Welcome to my domain."
The middle-aged man spoke with a smile and greeted Chen Ye.
To Chen Ye's surprise, he spoke fluent Chinese!
"I am aware of what you did in Ameriken and understand that you are here to exact revenge on those media companies that slandered you… Rest assured, before your arrival, I already had them arrested. They are now awaiting your judgment!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Chen Ye with burning intensity.
Chen Ye regarded this man with even greater respect.
Even top-tier powerhouses like Qin Muyin had shown fear when facing his Azure Dragon form for the first time. Yet, this man showed no fear. On the contrary, his eyes revealed a barely concealed excitement.
This spoke volumes about the strength of the man's will.
Only a peak martial artist, someone who followed the path of national martial arts, could possess such an unshakable heart.
Chen Ye had already guessed this man's identity.
A martial artist of this caliber, appearing in Australia, and claiming this place as his territory… Under these conditions, only one person fit the description—the Martial God!
"Well done!"
Chen Ye finally spoke, his voice authoritative: "However, I don't appreciate people blocking my way—especially self-important ones like you!"
Hearing the clear and fluent Chinese coming from the dragon's mouth—
The Martial God's eyes lit up instantly.
