I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 42 Killing Obapa

That night.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

The streets of Wutan City have long since lost their daytime hustle and bustle, with only a few solitary lamps swaying in the wind, casting dim yellow light and shadows.

A room on the second floor of the Wutan City Hotel.

Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, continuously refining lightning-attribute battle qi from his dantian and injecting it into the storage ring in his hand to charge the battle puppet.

Just then.

wow-

With a sharp crack, the guest room window was smashed open by brute force.

A dark figure darted in like a ghost and landed steadily in the center of the room.

The newcomer was burly, dressed in black, with a sinister face and sharp eyes like a hawk. After scanning the room, he finally locked his gaze on Xiao Zheng.

"You're Xiao Zheng?"

His deep voice carried an undeniable air of authority, as if he were born superior.

Xiao Zheng slowly withdrew his battle aura, placed the battle puppet aside, and looked up at the newcomer.

A fragment of memory flashed through his mind, and the face in front of him was none other than Obaba, the patriarch of the Obaba family, one of the three major families in Utan City.

A slight thought flickered in his heart, but his face remained impassive as he calmly replied, "You are the head of the Obama family, Obapa?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Obappa's face: "You do have some knowledge."

He didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Kid, I heard you were a useless fourth-stage Battle Qi cultivator last year, and you've already become a Battle Master this year?"

"You must have acquired some treasure this year, right?"

"Let's not beat around the bush. Hand over the treasure you have that can quickly boost your strength, and I might spare your life."

"If you refuse, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll drag you back to the Obama family and let you experience what it means to wish you were dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

He had long anticipated that his rapid improvement in strength would attract covetousness, but he hadn't expected these people to act so quickly, making their move tonight.

Xiao Zheng chuckled: "Although I expected it, I didn't expect the person who had designs on me to act so quickly."

Obapa frowned, his face darkening. "What do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean anything."

Xiao Zheng leaned against the edge of the bed, a playful smile on his lips: "Regarding your request, I'm sorry, I refuse."

"reject?!"

Obapa was furious upon hearing this, and said with a dark face, "Do you think that just because you've become a Battle Master, you can run rampant in Utan City? Let me tell you! Bullshit!"

He suddenly unleashed his aura.

The terrifying aura of a three-star Grandmaster instantly swept out like a tidal wave.

Battle energy condensed on his body, forming a faint armor-like silhouette. The rhomboid battle energy crystals gleamed coldly under the light, a hallmark of the Great Battle Master realm.

A smug glint appeared on Obapa's face: "A mere Battle Master is no different from a chicken in my eyes. Killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"

This aura was truly terrifying; an ordinary Battle Master would probably have already trembled with fear under such pressure.

But Xiao Zheng remained calm, even with a hint of mockery: "A mere three-star Great Dou Master dares to show off in front of me? He really doesn't know what death means."

"What arrogance!"

Obapa was utterly enraged, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish! I'll show you just how vast the difference is between a Great Dou Master and a Dou Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obapa stomped his foot on the ground and pounced on Xiao Zheng like an arrow. His right fist, wrapped in powerful fighting spirit and accompanied by a whistling sound, went straight for Xiao Zheng's face.

Wherever the fist passed, the air seemed to distort; if one were hit, one would likely be crippled even if not killed.

But it was at this very moment.

The door opened, and a white figure flashed in front of Xiao Zheng like lightning.

hum-

An aura several times more terrifying than Obapta flashed by.

The appearance of this aura immediately caused Obapa's body to stiffen, his face to show horror, and his movements to slow down.

Before he could react, the white figure had already attacked him.

A slender hand, glowing with a ghostly green light, struck Obappa's chest with lightning speed.

"Ten Thousand Poison Palm!"

A cold shout rang out, and the palm strike shattered Obaba's battle aura armor as easily as slapping tofu, penetrating his body.

Obapa felt a piercing pain in his chest, as if countless venomous insects had burrowed into his body, frantically tearing at his meridians and internal organs.

Before he could even scream, he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall.

Boom—

Obapa collapsed to the ground, black blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes glazed over.

He stared at the white figure, his face filled with disbelief, and stammered, "An eight... an eight-star Grand Dou Master?!"

Obapa shifted his gaze to Xiao Zheng: "You actually have an eight-star Great Dou Master protecting you..."

He was speaking when his head lolled to the side and he stopped breathing completely.

……

On the street next to the hotel.

After dealing with some family matters, Xiao Zhan hurriedly went to Xiao Zheng's place to see him.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the hotel, he sensed a familiar aura of battle qi, the aura of a three-star Grand Battle Master.

Based on his understanding of the various forces in Utan City, he instantly determined that the aura belonged to Obaba, the head of the Obaba family.

"not good!"

Xiao Zhan's expression changed.

Obapa is ruthless and vicious. His sudden appearance here is clearly aimed at Xiao Zheng.

Although Xiao Zheng is exceptionally talented, he is only at the Dou Shi level and has no chance of winning against a three-star Great Dou Shi.

Xiao Zhan was anxious and about to take action when he suddenly sensed an even more terrifying aura flash by.

"This aura... is it from an eight-star Grand Dou Master?!"

Xiao Zhan's pupils shrank sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

An eight-star Grand Dou Master is definitely a top-tier existence in Wutan City. How could such a powerful person appear here?

Moreover, the aura seemed to be emanating from the room where Obappa was.

He didn't know whether this eight-star Grand Dou Master was friend or foe, and his worries deepened.

If this powerful figure is also after Xiao Zheng, then Xiao Zheng's situation will be even more dangerous!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Zhan channeled his fighting spirit to its limit, leaped into the air, and pounced on Xiao Zheng's room like a cheetah.

……

Inside Xiao Zheng's guest room.

After dealing with Obapa, Little Fairy Doctor turned around, revealing a beautiful and ethereal face.

She withdrew her palm strike, the eerie green poisonous light quickly fading, and looked at Xiao Zheng with concern in her eyes: "Brother Xiao Zheng, are you alright?"

Xiao Zheng looked relaxed: "With you here, what could possibly happen?"

When he intimidated Xiao Ke with his imposing presence today, he had anticipated that someone would be watching him. However, after checking into the hotel, he did not specifically instruct Little Fairy Doctor to protect him.

Because he knew that even if he didn't confess, given Little Fairy Doctor's nature, she would definitely not sit idly by.

Although there is a very small chance that this will happen, it doesn't matter. He still has the fighting puppet, so he can just release it when the time comes.

However, this also meant the end of his relationship with Little Fairy Doctor.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was unharmed, Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to Obapa's corpse on the ground: "What should we do with this person?"

Just as Xiao Zheng was about to answer, another figure darted in through the window.

His gaze immediately turned to the newcomer, and his expression darkened upon seeing the newcomer's face.

Xiao Zhan?

Sure enough, even Xiao Zhan, a very likable character in the original work, couldn't escape the temptation when faced with the secrets he possessed!
