Chapter 1044
This one kick saved the world!
Miyuki stood beside Choi, her eyes fixed on the giant horn. She calmly said, "Choi, the energy reaction of the giant horn is very strong. The monster below must be quite large. We need to control the situation as soon as possible to prevent more people from getting hurt." She showed no panic. Tekkaman's fighting instincts allowed her to make calm judgments in the face of crisis and be ready to transform and fight at any time.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Cui Ming caught a glimpse of a bratty kid in a yellow jacket running towards the giant horn amidst the chaos, and even raising his foot as if to kick it.
Cui Ming's pupils constricted instantly—this child was practically courting death! The giant horn was connected to the monster underground; if it were provoked, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Without the slightest hesitation, Cui Ming took a running start, leaped into the air with both legs, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and then kicked the brat hard in the back! With a muffled "thud," the brat flew far away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the soft grass. Although he cried loudly in pain, he was not in any life-threatening danger.
"Damn it, this is chaotic enough! Whose kid is this?! Take him away!" Cui Ming roared at a couple who were running towards him in a panic after landing. The couple were obviously the parents of the unruly child. When they saw their child being kicked away, they were initially furious, but when they saw the bloodshot eyes in Cui Ming's eyes, the chaotic scene around them, and that terrifying giant horn, they instantly lost their temper. They quickly ran over, picked up their child, thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly left.
Miyuki walked over to Choi Myung's side, looked at the family of three who had already run far away, and said, "Choi, that kick was fine. If that child had really kicked the giant horn, it might have caused the monster to break through the ground prematurely, and the casualties would have been even greater." She understood Choi Myung's intentions very well and did not think that Choi Myung's actions were excessive at all. On the contrary, she agreed with his decisiveness.
Cui Ming nodded, handed the megaphone to a staff member next to him, and instructed, "Continue guiding tourists to evacuate, don't stop!" Then he turned to look at Meixue, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Meixue, prepare to transform. When the monster comes out, we'll hold it off and prevent it from harming those who haven't evacuated yet!"
"Understood!" Miyuki replied in a deep voice, ready to transform into Tekkaman at any moment and engage in battle with the monster that was about to appear. The giant horn was still swaying slightly, as if the monster underground had sensed the movement on the ground and might burst out at any moment, and a fierce battle was about to begin.
The giant horn underground was still trembling slightly, as if the monster was gathering strength to break through the earth. However, Cui Ming did not rush to start a battle. Instead, he guarded the safe area near the giant horn, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk. He knew all too well that the most dangerous thing now was not the monster that was about to appear, but those ignorant "little brats".
Sure enough, a few seconds later, two more teenagers, taking advantage of their parents' inattention, sneaked to a spot not far from the giant horn and reached out to touch the mud-covered horn. Cui Ming reacted quickly, rushing over almost instantly. Before the two children could touch the giant horn, he raised his left and right feet respectively, and with two "bangs," the two children were kicked and staggered back several steps, landing on their bottoms, almost in tears with fright.
"Get lost! If you want to die, don't cause trouble here!" Cui Ming's voice was as cold as ice, without the slightest pity. He knew in his heart that although the kick looked fierce, he hadn't used his full strength. At most, it would only make the children feel pain for a while. If they really hit the giant horn and aroused the monster underground, it wouldn't be a matter that could be resolved with just a little pain. It might even endanger the people around who hadn't evacuated.
Hearing the commotion, the two children's parents rushed over. One of the mothers, seeing her child sitting on the ground, immediately became agitated, pointing at Cui Ming and yelling, "What's wrong with you? How could you kick a child?" The other father chimed in, his tone filled with displeasure, "Even if the child was in the wrong, couldn't you have spoken to him nicely? Was it necessary to resort to violence?"
Cui Ming turned to look at the parents, his eyes even colder: "Speak properly? Where were you just now? The child was about to touch the monster's horn, and you couldn't see it? If something really happens, you won't even have time to cry!" As he spoke, he took a step forward, his aura instantly suppressing the parents so they dared not speak.
But there was another ungrateful father who stubbornly tried to argue, "It's just a broken corner, what's the big deal..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cui Ming raised his foot and kicked the father in the shin—not in the stomach, not in any vital area, but enough to make the father wince in pain and instantly speechless. "Don't want to leave, huh? Then stay here and wait for the monster to come out, it'll be a good snack!" Cui Ming's tone was full of threat, scaring the parents so much that they didn't dare say another word. They quickly pulled their child up from the ground and ran towards the exit without looking back.
Miyuki stood aside, quietly watching everything unfold without offering any advice. She understood Cui's intention: in this time of crisis, being polite to these irresponsible parents and ignorant children would be irresponsible to everyone else. Even after Cui had dealt with the parents, she stepped forward and said, "Cui, there are still a few tourists on the west side who haven't evacuated. I'll go guide them; you can handle things here."
"Be careful, call me anytime if anything happens." Cui Ming nodded, his gaze returning to the giant horn. The horn was shaking even more violently now, and the cracks in the ground were widening; clearly, the monster could appear at any moment. Cui Ming reached for the mini-Gatling gun at his waist, his finger on the trigger, his eyes blazing with killing intent—once these troublesome "incidents" were dealt with, it would be time to properly settle things with that blind fool underground!
Shinjo, having finally escaped the swaying haunted house with Mayu, was stunned by what he saw as a mobile "enforcement station" pacing back and forth near the giant horn. His footsteps echoed with a constant "thump, thump" as he kicked anyone who dared to cross his safety line, whether it was a young person trying to get close enough to film, an old woman pulling her child away, or a burly man cursing and complaining about being "interrupted."
The force was perfectly controlled; it wouldn't seriously injure anyone, but it sent them off balance, forcing them to stagger back to the edge of the safe zone, too afraid to approach any further. A man in a suit, unconvinced, stood up to argue with Cui Ming, but before he could finish his sentence, "Why are you hitting people?", Cui Ming glared at him and added, "If you want to stay here to feed the monsters, then keep standing." Instantly, the man shrank back in fear and obediently followed the crowd away. (End of Chapter)
