Crimson Tide

Before his words fell, he suddenly took out a syringe from his pocket.

Then he tore off his black robe, revealing his face.

It was the face of a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to He Yi.

He Wu glared fiercely at Qin Chen, raised the syringe in his hand without a word, and plunged it fiercely into his own neck.

The dark red liquid in the syringe was injected into his body bit by bit.

The sudden change made Qin Chen vigilant. He stopped and stared intently at He Wu.

"What is that dark red liquid?"

"It actually has the effect of forcibly increasing strength!"

He could feel the aura on He Wu's body constantly strengthening.

Thick blood vessels bulged on He Wu's skin, and his entire body suddenly expanded by a circle.

The clothes that were slightly loose just moments ago were now stretched taut.

And the blue blood vessels were also turning blood red.

With a roar from He Wu, his body expanded by another large circle.

The Exploding Clothes Divine Skill activated, and his clothes instantly exploded, turning into scattered strips of cloth flying in all directions.

At the same time, a powerful wave of energy erupted from him, sweeping outwards and rustling Qin Chen's robes not far away.

Qin Chen's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

Because he felt an incredibly powerful pressure from He Wu, completely incomparable to before.

Looking at He Wu, whose body changes were gradually stabilizing, Qin Chen spoke word by word:

"Body Tempering Seventh Layer!!"

At this moment, He Wu was several times larger than before, his height increasing from just over a meter to nearly three meters.

His body was covered in eerie blood-red blood vessels, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, a Bloodied Broken Fang Pattern appeared on his chest.

Looking at this pattern, Qin Chen subconsciously felt it was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Suddenly, Qin Chen's eyes widened, his pupils contracting continuously. His expression was even more exaggerated than when he felt He Wu's strength increase to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer.

After taking several deep breaths, he calmed himself down, his eyes fixed on He Wu.

"No wonder you're so bold, daring to kill people in the city!"

"So you're from the Crimson Tide!"

The Crimson Tide, an organization whose core philosophy is slaughter.

It is one of Blue Star's three major heretic organizations, and is reviled by people in all countries around the world.

This is because the Crimson Tide has caused multiple massacres in the past, each resulting in casualties numbering in the millions.

These actions completely angered the countries of the world, who united to launch a devastating strike against the Crimson Tide in various locations.

Rumor has it that the Crimson Tide suffered heavy casualties in that strike, with even their leader being severely injured, and countless other members lost.

For a long time afterward, the Crimson Tide did not stir up any major trouble.

Thus, attention gradually shifted away from them.

The Crimson Tide's symbol is a dripping, broken fang, the same pattern that appeared on He Wu's body.

Qin Chen recognized it because the original owner of his body was very interested in such matters.

Having inherited the original owner's memories, he naturally had some understanding of these things.

"Hahaha..."

"That's right! I am a member of the great Crimson Tide!"

"Slaughter is evolution, destruction is rebirth! Only endless slaughter can drive the 'evolution' of individuals and the entire world!"

"And Peace Only Brings Decay!!"

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I last killed anyone. I've been holding back so hard!"

"I originally planned to leave your body intact, but you forced me to use the Blood Rage Potion. If I don't tear you to shreds, I won't be able to quell my hatred!"

He Wu said with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with killing intent and a morbid pleasure.

That's right!

The reason he was willing to come and kill Qin Chen, besides avenging his son, was primarily to release his long-suppressed desire to kill.

Suppressing the urge to kill for so many years was no simple feat!

"Die!!"

He Wu roared, and his figure instantly lunged forward.

Although his body had grown significantly larger than before, his speed was not at all slow. In fact, it was much faster than before.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Qin Chen and smashed a fist fiercely towards him.

Just as his fist was about to land on Qin Chen, Qin Chen's figure suddenly became elusive.

Relying on his Grand Completion level Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps, Qin Chen once again dodged He Wu's attack, though it was much more perilous than before.

He Wu's speed hadn't just increased; the speed of his attacks had also quickened considerably.

However, it was still within Qin Chen's acceptable range.

Qin Chen took a step forward, his body instantly appearing beside He Wu, and his Seven Injuries Fist once again blasted towards He Wu.

This punch landed directly on He Wu, and immense power erupted from Qin Chen's fist.

But compared to the effect it had previously, it was like night and day.

He Wu merely staggered back a step, then roared and threw another punch at Qin Chen.

Qin Chen didn't hesitate and immediately retreated.

He Wu pressed his advantage, relentlessly closing in on Qin Chen and attacking him continuously.

But every single one of his attacks was dodged by Qin Chen.

His forcibly boosted strength was still inferior to a true Body Tempering Seventh Layer cultivator; otherwise, Qin Chen would have been in serious trouble.

Seeing that he couldn't take down Qin Chen after a long while, He Wu grew anxious and roared at Qin Chen.

"You little brat! Do you dare to stop slithering around like an eel? If you have the guts, face me head-on!"

"Heh~"

Qin Chen let out a disdainful scoff upon hearing this.

"Why didn't you face me head-on when you weren't pumped up on hormones?"

"By the way, do you still have any of those hormones? Could you give me a dose to study?"

Seeing He Wu's current state, he knew that thing must have severe side effects, and he loved things with severe side effects.

Seeing that Qin Chen wasn't taking the bait, He Wu became even more agitated.

He continued to launch punch after punch at Qin Chen, relentlessly attacking.

But they were all ineffective; none of his punches could land on Qin Chen.

Just as Qin Chen had guessed, the Blood Rage Potion he injected had extremely severe side effects. Not only did it severely damage his body, but its duration was also very limited.

If he couldn't deal with Qin Chen within this time frame, he would be the one in danger.

But Qin Chen clearly had no intention of clashing head-on with him.

His main strategy was to "stall."

He'd have to be out of his mind to face He Wu head-on at this moment.

Even elementary schoolers knew to avoid the sharp edge when the opponent enters a berserk state.

Once the berserk period passed, wouldn't He Wu be at his mercy?

Seeing that the potion's duration was about to expire and he still couldn't take down Qin Chen, He Wu completely lost it!

His eyes were filled with scarlet.

"Today, I'll kill you even if it means dying!"

As he spoke, He Wu took out another dark red syringe and plunged it into his own neck.

"Ah!!!"

Unlike the first injection, this time He Wu let out a painful roar.

His entire skin began to rapidly turn blood-red, like his veins, while his originally blood-red veins turned black.

His body didn't grow larger again; instead, it shrank significantly, from a height of three meters down to just over two meters.

But the aura emanating from him became much stronger than before.

An incredibly berserk aura continuously emanated from his body, sweeping outwards.

As his aura gradually stabilized, his realm also reached--

Body Tempering Ninth Layer!!
