Stronger with Every Fight! His Stamina Had No Limit!

More than half the chains on the Chained Prisoner's body had been severed. Black iron filings littered the floor, clinking crisply as they fell.

Once its massive body was freed from the chains' restraints, it actually began to destabilize, its outline blurring.

"No, that's impossible!"

The Chained Prisoner let out a desperate roar.

"My source of power... my Undying Body..."

Qin Feng watched it coldly, the scissors in his hand still gleaming with the light of death.

"Your so-called immortality merely relies on the rules contained within those chains.

And my scissors specialize in cutting through such false rules."

At that moment, the Chained Prisoner suddenly stopped struggling. A bizarre smile appeared on its twisted face.

"You think this is all I can do?"

Its voice became especially sinister, and the temperature throughout the carriage plummeted.

The chain fragments scattered across the floor began to tremble, producing a series of clinks and rattles.

"The true horror is only beginning now!"

The Chained Prisoner's body rapidly swelled, its form—previously barely humanoid—becoming twisted and grotesque.

Flesh and metal began to fuse together. Its bones made a teeth-grinding scraping sound as it revealed the true form of a C-Class Anomalous Event.

Boom—!

A tremendous explosion rang out as the Chained Prisoner transformed into a three-meter-tall Steel Giant.

Its body was entirely composed of black metal, wrapped from head to toe in thicker, more savage chains.

Every chain was as thick as a bucket, engraved with even more intricate cursed runes and exuding a dark aura of utter despair.

Most horrifying of all was its head. It had completely lost all human characteristics, becoming a massive steel skull, with lava-like red liquid continuously flowing from its seven orifices.

"This is my true form!"

The Steel Giant let out a deafening roar. The entire carriage shook, and the window glass exploded one after another, shards raining down.

An overwhelming pressure instantly enveloped the entire carriage, making even breathing difficult. Liu Min and Xiao Li were forced flat against the floor by that pressure, unable even to lift their heads.

Lei Yun barely managed to support himself. Looking at the terrifying being before him, his face turned ashen.

The all-out strike he had just unleashed had not even forced out his opponent's true strength.

"Th-this is a true C-Class Anomalous Event?" Lei Yun muttered, despair flooding his heart like a tide.

The Steel Giant looked down at Qin Feng, its blood-red pupils brimming with killing intent.

"Now, let's see whether those broken scissors of yours can still cut through my chains!"

It swung its enormous fist at Qin Feng. The force of the punch carried destructive power, compressing the air until it emitted a piercing sonic boom.

The carriage floor began to crack under that force, exposing the steel reinforcement beneath.

Qin Feng narrowly dodged the strike. The giant fist smashed into the spot where he had been standing, blasting a huge hole through the floor and exposing the ground below.

The aftershock forced Qin Feng back several steps. Feeling the terrifying aura radiating from the Steel Giant, his expression grew more solemn.

Indeed, this was the true strength of a C-Class Anomalous Event.

Its previous form had merely been a disguise.

The Steel Giant roared smugly, "I'll send you flying!"

It threw another punch, this one even more terrifying, as though it could tear apart space itself.

Qin Feng swiftly evaded, but the Steel Giant's attack range was too vast. Even though he avoided the direct hit, the aftershock still made his blood and energy churn.

Relying solely on the Scissors of Truth, it truly would be difficult to quickly deal with this fully formed Chained Prisoner.

"Looks like I'll have to get serious." Qin Feng muttered, his gaze growing colder.

The Steel Giant pressed its advantage. The massive chains around its body poured down like torrential rain, sealing off every path of escape for Qin Feng.

Having failed to land a blow, the Steel Giant's offensive became even fiercer. Countless thick chains poured down like a raging storm, completely cutting off all of Qin Feng's avenues of retreat.

In that critical moment, Qin Feng was delighted rather than alarmed.

"Good!"

Rather than taking the attack head-on, he relied on reflexes and combat instincts far beyond those of an ordinary person, weaving and dodging through the gaps between the chains.

Whenever there was an attack he could not avoid, he used the side of the [Scissors of Truth] to block or deflect it.

With every chain collision and every brush with the force of a punch, the pure resentment that spilled out was silently absorbed by an invisible vortex in his chest.

The [Gluttony Stomach] was quietly operating. This was a new application he had discovered. Since the Gluttony Stomach could constantly absorb resentment and spiritual power, then surely it should not be limited to cultivation alone.

Absorbing spiritual power in battle to replenish himself—wasn't that just restoring mana?

Unfortunately, the Qi Gathering Returning to Origin Art was ultimately only a cultivation technique. While it could circulate spiritual power throughout his body and heal some injuries, the effect was not very noticeable. It seemed he would have to buy something like that after returning.

A warm current flowed through his body. His spiritual power was replenished, and the minor internal injuries from the impacts slowly began to heal.

He was like a perpetual-motion machine, constantly drawing power from his enemies in battle to replenish himself.

The more the Steel Giant fought, the more alarmed it became.

It discovered that the human before it possessed seemingly endless stamina. No matter how ferocious its attacks were, Qin Feng could always defuse them at the smallest cost. His aura showed no sign of weakening; instead, as the battle dragged on, his eyes grew brighter and more dangerous.

"You monster!" the Steel Giant roared unwillingly.

"Same to you."

Qin Feng slipped through the gaps in the chains, still finding the leisure to toss back a cheeky remark.

"Though we're both monsters, I think I'm a little more monstrous than you."

Inside the carriage, Lei Yun watched this unbelievable scene, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

The C-Class Anomalous Event he had been unable to defeat even after giving it everything he had was actually being beaten back by Qin Feng.

What shocked him even more was that Qin Feng's fighting style did not resemble someone risking his life at all. It was more like he was playing around.

"What kind of monster is this guy?" Lei Yun gritted his teeth, jealousy and resentment blazing in his heart like fire.

Time passed bit by bit. Although the Chained Prisoner was at a disadvantage, it did not immediately collapse.

Yet because Qin Feng's methods of attack were limited, he could not finish off the Chained Prisoner. The two sides fell into a strange deadlock.

Shen Bingyue was also drawn to the battle on this side. She knew she could not drag out her assault on the Ghost Driver any longer. Although the situation over there was temporarily deadlocked, Qin Feng was still only maintaining his current form, and prolonged use of the Legendary Armament would harm his body.

She began to erupt!
