Ordinary Rank 9! Fighting an Advanced Tier 6!
All they saw was Masked Man in blood; they didn't see Lu Tianrong.
This means... Lu Tianrong may have lost.
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen's heart sank to the bottom, and his face turned very pale.
There was no time to think about it.
Soon.
Lin Zichen put Shen Qinghan down from his back and said to her and the others with a solemn expression:
"Listen to me, everyone!"
"I sense that the Masked Man who can control vines is currently several hundred meters away, rapidly approaching us!"
"And behind him, there was no sign of the instructor!"
"This means the instructor should have lost!"
"That Masked Man's target is me. My job is to distract him and create an opportunity for you to escape!"
"Don't look back, don't worry about me, don't stay and become a burden to me!"
After quickly finishing speaking, Lin Zichen turned and sprinted in another direction to distance himself from the others and ensure their safety.
Among these, Shen Qinghan's safety is of paramount importance.
"Xiao Chen, you must come back!!!"
Shen Qinghan's eyes were a little wet, and she shouted at the top of her lungs at Lin Zichen's rapidly receding figure.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Zichen, who was quickly driving away, replied with a single word, "Okay!!!"
Upon hearing this response, Shen Qinghan wiped away her tears, stopped standing still, and quickly followed the others to leave.
She knew very well that with her Biological Rank of only Ordinary Rank 6, she was completely unable to provide any help to Lin Zichen under the current circumstances.
The only thing you can do is stay away from Lin Zichen and not become a burden to him.
On the other side.
Lin Zichen, who was moving at high speed through the forest, kept his eyes on the Masked Man was only about 400 meters away, observing his direction of movement.
Masked Man had changed direction and was no longer chasing Shen Qinghan but instead chasing him, Lin Zichen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, the Masked Man's target really was me."
"Hanhan should be safe now."
"Next, all I have to do is run like crazy towards the edge of the forest."
"That Masked Man can only unleash his full power in the forest. As long as I'm not in the forest, my chances of survival will greatly increase."
"We could even try to kill him!"
As Lin Zichen ran, he suddenly had a bold idea: to kill the Masked Man.
During his frantic run, he belatedly realized that the Masked Man's speed was off; it didn't seem like the speed of an Advanced Tier 6 expert.
After a rough comparison, it seems to be only Tier 1 stronger than myself.
With my current strength, including the Tertiary Body Tempering temperings and the enhancements from various Biological Attribute, I can probably reach the Advanced Tier 3 level.
In other words, the Masked Man's current strength is only around the Advanced Tier 4.
His strength dropped from Advanced Tier 6 to Advanced Tier 4.
It looks like he's seriously injured.
However, it's normal for the injury to be severe.
After all, the Masked Man had killed Lu Tianrong, who was of the same rank.
Defeating an opponent of the same level without paying a heavy price is simply unrealistic.
"This Masked Man is so badly injured, his strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. It seems like I really have a chance to turn the tables and kill him."
"By taking advantage of the fact that my Biological Rank is only ordinary Tier 9, I will feign weakness to exploit an information gap, and then launch a sneak attack when they are not paying attention."
"Aim for a vital point and launch a surprise attack, inflicting a heavy blow."
"Then strike while the iron is hot and finish him off with a relentless barrage of attacks."
"Okay, I've decided. I'll try to turn the tables on him!"
With this thought in mind, Lin Zichen immediately slowed down his escape, his face showing exhaustion from the overwhelming burden.
He pretended that the reason he was able to run so fast was purely because he had taken some kind of drug, which allowed him to overdraw his physical strength in exchange for explosive power far exceeding his Biological Rank.
Now that his physical strength is completely exhausted, his explosive power has suddenly decreased.
This makes perfect sense and seems perfectly reasonable.
Putting everything else aside, it seems much more reasonable compared to a young man who is not even 20 years old yet possesses the speed of Advanced Tier 3.
Lin Zichen slowed down.
Before long, the Masked Man, who was seriously injured, caught up with them.
The two were now only tens of meters apart.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Several whooshing sounds rang out.
The Masked Man manipulated several vines to whip Lin Zichen in front of him.
The whipping was neither fast nor forceful.
It's only at the level of a normal Tier 9.
The Masked Man was afraid that if he whipped Lin Zichen too hard, he might accidentally kill him.
In his eyes, Ordinary Rank ants were far too fragile; they would die with the slightest touch.
If you want to capture them alive, you have to be gentle with these ants.
As Lin Zichen was frantically fleeing ahead, he could sense that the vines attacking from behind were not very powerful.
In order to create an opportunity for his sneak attack.
After trying to dodge several times, he deliberately failed to dodge in time once.
He was whipped hard across the back by the vines.
He was sent flying with a thud.
Then, with a loud "bang," it crashed into a towering tree in front of it, shaking off a large number of withered branches and leaves.
Then it slowly slid down the tree trunk and collapsed on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death.
Seeing Lin Zichen collapsed on the ground, unable to get up, the Masked Man also stopped his exhausting sprint.
He stood there with his hands on his hips, trying to catch his breath. He was breathing heavily and felt a burning pain in his internal organs, which was very uncomfortable.
He was badly injured during his fierce battle with Lu Tianrong.
I just ran all the way here, relying entirely on my adrenaline to keep going.
Now that his adrenaline had dropped slightly, pain and fatigue instantly swept over his body. He could clearly feel that his injuries were extremely severe, and he had lost only one-tenth of his strength.
"You little rascal, you run really fast."
The Masked Man, panting, looked at Lin Zichen ahead and said, "If you hadn't slowed down, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble to catch you."
After saying that, he asked with some curiosity, "You were able to unleash speeds far exceeding your Biological Rank just now. Did you take some kind of reagent that can stimulate human potential?"
"Is there such a potent reagent that can make an ordinary creature unleash the speed of Advanced Being?"
"Could it be something newly developed by the Military District?"
"..."
Lin Zichen did not respond and continued to lie on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death.
With the [Natural Camouflage] Biological Attribute, he wasn't worried at all that his disguise would be discovered by the Masked Man.
All he had to do now was wait quietly for the Masked Man to come to his side.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent is off guard, launch a surprise attack on their vital points and severely injure them in one fell swoop.
The Masked Man, unaware that he had been tricked, continued speaking:
"My bed slave, who was only one step away from evolving into Advanced Being, must have underestimated you too much, and then you used the power of the reagent to kill him."
"Do you know how long it took me to train that bed slave to know better than a prostitute how to please a man?"
"Five years. It took me a full five years to train her."
"And then you just killed her like that."
You've really made me angry.
The Masked Man said he was very angry, but he always had a faint smile on his face.
He wiped the blood from his face and continued:
"My revenge against my enemies usually involves training all the women in their family to be my bed slaves."
"And with your stunning looks, the women in your family must all be gorgeous."
"Your mother still retains her charm."
"Your older sister is sexy and tall."
"Your younger sister is pure and lovely."
"Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is irresistible."
"..."
Hearing these offensive words, Lin Zichen's emotions fluctuated.
However, thanks to the [Natural Camouflage], his emotional fluctuations were well concealed, and the Masked Man was completely unaware of them.
At this moment, the Masked Man was still uttering some vulgar and offensive words that made people blush and their hearts race.
What do you mean by three women sharing one husband?
What husband is currently committing a crime?
Say it however you think it's morally corrupt.
Say whatever is most provocative.
He got more and more excited as he talked.
But soon, he shook his head, looking regretful, and said, "Unfortunately, the Divine Plant Cult wants to control you, cultivate you, and make you a high-ranking member of the Divine Plant Cult."
"Instead of treating you as a future threat and nipping you in the bud."
"In that case, we are destined to be colleagues in the Main Cult from now on."
"And your colleagues' families, you can't train them into bed slaves."
"What a pity, what a pity."
After saying that, the regret on the Masked Man's face disappeared, replaced by initial excitement. He laughed and said, "Among the special trainees who were with you just now, I found that there were a few girls who were quite good-looking."
"Especially that little girl with blue hair, her features are delicate and refined, her skin is fair and smooth, she looks even prettier than the female celebrities on TV."
"Once I've recovered, I'll definitely find a chance to capture them all and train them into bed slaves, so they can all serve their high and mighty master in bed."
The Masked Man felt a surge of excitement just thinking about that sensual and alluring scene.
Most people who join the Divine Plant Cult are coerced or lured into it.
He, on the other hand, volunteered to join the Divine Plant Cult in order to experience the Legendary, incredibly radiant Flower Fairy.
He doesn't care about money or power, he only cares about sex.
His success rate with seduction was 100%.
"Alright, your energy and blood have almost recovered. It's time to leave."
The Masked Man smiled and walked towards Lin Zichen.
He strode up to Lin Zichen and stopped, bending down to grab Lin Zichen from the ground, intending to drag him back to the Base Camp of the Divine Plant Cult to report back.
And at the very moment he reached out!
Lin Zichen, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes and sprang up instantly, bringing with him a surge of powerful energy, and punched the Masked Man in the groin.
A loud "bang" was heard!
Lin Zichen's scorching fist slammed viciously into the Masked Man's groin!
He instantly poured the massive amount of vital energy attached to it into it!
It swept through everything in its path with overwhelming force, destroying everything in its way!
"Aaaaaah!"
The Masked Man's face contorted in pain, and he instinctively cried out.
Immediately, his blood and qi surged, and he quickly retreated, clutching his severely injured groin with one hand.
"Buzz!"
Lin Zichen reacted extremely quickly, and the moment the Masked Man retreated, he also unleashed his inner energy and gave chase.
At the same time, he unusually swore and cursed under his breath.
The physical strength of this heavily injured Advanced Tier 6 creature was far greater than he had imagined.
He had clearly aimed at the opponent's vital point, unleashing power approaching that of Advanced Tier 4, and slammed down with a powerful punch.
However, the opponent was not dealt a heavy blow as expected.
He just screamed in pain.
Then quickly retreat.
They still retain sufficient operational capability.
"Buzz--"
A piercing whistling sound rang out.
Lin Zichen caught up with the Masked Man, unleashing a massive surge of energy and blood power once more, and slammed a punch into his forehead.
This punch was extremely powerful and fast, and it faintly showed the strength of Advanced Tier 4.
The Masked Man, severely injured, had no time to dodge the punch.
He could only helplessly raise one arm to desperately protect his forehead.
Then, with a loud "bang!"
His entire arm was smashed, splattering blood all over the ground.
"Buzz--"
At the same time, another whooshing sound rang out!
After throwing a punch, Lin Zichen immediately followed up with a powerful kick, aiming straight for the Masked Man's injured groin.
That punch aimed straight at his head was just a feint!
Lin Zichen's real target was the Masked Man's bleeding crotch!
Since one punch wasn't enough to seriously injure you, then let's try another kick!
I don't believe I can't seriously injure you!
"Bang!"
Carrying a massive amount of vital energy, Lin Zichen accurately kicked the Masked Man in the injured groin.
In an instant, a terrifying impact and a massive amount of vital energy surged into the opponent's groin.
The other person's right hand, which was tightly covering it, was also destroyed along with it.
"Aaaaaah!"
The Masked Man cried out in pain again.
His face turned purple from the pain.
I feel like I'm about to faint.
"Buzz--"
And yet another whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
Lin Zichen seemed to possess inexhaustible energy, and once again, carrying a massive amount of energy, he slammed a punch into the Masked Man's groin.
Ignoring the excruciating pain in his groin, the Masked Man instantly unleashed his last remaining vital energy, and just as the fist was about to land, he dodged the potentially fatal blow with a swift movement.
Then he kept retreating rapidly, trying to create as much distance as possible from Lin Zichen and avoid a direct confrontation.
What happened?!
What on earth is going on?!
This bastard was clearly on the verge of death, so how could he suddenly revive with full health and mana, and even unleash power at a high- Advanced Tier 4?!
This is unreasonable!
This is completely unreasonable!
At this moment, the Masked Man retreated frantically, his heart filled with dread.
Lin Zichen's sudden outburst was completely baffling.
Etc!
Reagents?
Could it be that the reagent is still effective?!
Did this bastard know that continuing to run would only lead to his death, so he decided to fight me to the death while the reagent was still effective?
So... the previous slowdown was intentional?
Was the concentration of the vines I controlled intentional?
Was their purpose all to lure me into getting close and then ambush me?
Oh shit!
Despicable scoundrel!
You insidious bastard!
No martial ethics!
In just a brief moment, the Masked Man understood why Lin Zichen had been resurrected with full health and mana, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
After that, I felt relieved.
Lin Zichen's current strength is entirely due to the temporary availability of the reagents.
If he can withstand this wave of attacks, he will soon be weakened and at the mercy of others.
"Buzz--"
Lin Zichen unleashed the full power of his internal energy and delivered another punch to the Masked Man's groin.
He had no idea what the Masked Man was thinking.
All I knew was that I couldn't afford to stop for even a moment!
They'll definitely launch a fierce attack!
Don't give the Masked Man a chance to adjust!
Until he's knocked to the ground and sent down to be with his bed slave!
"Continue!"
"Keep attacking me!"
"Let's see how long you can hold out!"
"When your life force is exhausted, that will be the time when I trample you under my feet and humiliate you!"
"I will not only humiliate you, I will humiliate all the women in your family!"
"Fuck you!"
The Masked Man used his usual tricks, attacking his opponent with words to cause emotional fluctuations, which in turn affected his opponent's qi and blood, thus impacting his strength.
Lin Zichen's emotions fluctuated.
The body's Qi and blood also fluctuated accordingly.
However, their strength has not diminished as a result!
On the contrary, it's getting stronger!
Each punch he threw was more powerful than the last!
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Several loud impacts rang out in succession!
Lin Zichen's fists and feet slammed fiercely into the Masked Man's body.
Neck, chest, groin...
Every part of the Masked Man's body that could be attacked was subjected to Lin Zichen's extremely fierce punches and kicks.
His forehead was smashed open with a single punch.
His chest was dented from a punch.
His groin was torn by a kick.
Large amounts of blood gushed from the Masked Man's various wounds.
His body grew increasingly weak, and he felt his vision becoming blurry, as if he were about to lose consciousness at any moment.
"Impossible!"
"That's impossible!"
"You, you're clearly just an ant with a Biological Rank of only Ordinary Rank, how come your internal energy can keep bursting forth endlessly, as if it never runs out!"
"Puff!"
"Cough... cough cough cough!"
The Masked Man spoke these words with a look of terror on his face, spitting out blood as he spoke.
His face turned visibly pale, looking completely bloodless, and it seemed he would collapse and die soon.
Having lived for over thirty years, he simply couldn't comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
He always believed that Lin Zichen's explosive power was only temporary.
Once the reagent's effect wears off, it will return to its original, normal level.
But how many times has Lin Zichen unleashed his qi and blood already?
This has happened more than ten times!
However, Lin Zichen's strength did not weaken; on the contrary, he became stronger with each battle!
Each punch is more lethal than the last!
How is that possible?!
The Masked Man was completely baffled. Ignoring the blood gushing from his throat, he roared at Lin Zichen, who was still attacking him frantically:
"What's going on?!"
"What's wrong with you?!"
"You're clearly not even 20 years old, clearly just an Ordinary Rank ant, so how can you consistently unleash strength at the advanced Advanced Tier 4!"
"Pfft! Cough cough..."
Overcome with emotion, the Masked Man shouted so loudly that he felt his vocal cords were being torn apart, blood gushing out continuously, causing him to cough incessantly.
Lin Zichen ignored his roars and focused solely on launching a fierce attack with his fists and feet.
We must kill him in this forest in one fell swoop, bringing this battle to a perfect close.
I will never explain to him that I have been constantly exercising since birth.
For nineteen years, he has been exercising every single day.
My blood and energy levels are improving significantly every day.
To this day, the amount of qi and blood accumulated in his body has reached an astonishing, even terrifying, level.
"Ninth Elder, save me!!!"
Suddenly, the Masked Man looked up and shouted in a direction to the side.
Lin Zichen didn't even glance at him, his gaze fixed on the Masked Man, relentlessly attacking him.
He now has only one goal: to kill the Masked Man as quickly as possible.
"Ninth Elder, I really can't take it anymore!!!"
The Masked Man yelled at the side again.
It's unclear whether she was genuinely calling for help or trying to distract Lin Zichen.
Then, seize the opportunity to turn the tide.
"Nine-length... Bang!"
The Masked Man wanted to shout one more time.
However, the word "old" was not uttered before it could be said.
Lin Zichen, who was standing in front of him, suddenly punched him in the face, sending him flying.
Immediately, it crashed into a towering tree behind it with a loud "boom" and came to a stop.
The Double-Leaf Clover mask on the Masked Man's face was covered with cracks from being hit so many times.
Soon, several "click" sounds were heard.
The mask on the Masked Man's face shattered, revealing a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
Extremely good-looking.
He looks like a handsome middle-aged man in his forties.
Unfortunately, the next second...
This handsome face, so captivating that it could charm countless young women, was kicked by Lin Zichen, leaving it splattered with blood and several teeth flying out.
Lin Zichen pressed his advantage, flashing to the Masked Man's side, grabbing Masked Man by the neck with one hand and pressing his knee into his abdomen, pinning him to the ground.
Then, he raised his other fist and slammed it into his face.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang..."
A series of dull thuds rang out.
The Masked Man's face was completely disfigured.
It turned into a pile of minced meat.
It turned into a pool of blood.
It seeps into the ground, less and less, less and less.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Don't you know that villains die from talking too much?!"
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Missing your bed slave, is that it?!"
"I'll take you down to see her right now!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Lin Zichen smashed the Masked Man's face repeatedly while speaking these words expressionlessly, loudly venting the negative emotions he had just accumulated.
Ten punches, twenty punches, thirty punches...
Lin Zichen had no idea how many punches he had thrown.
Just as I felt my fist go numb, a notification popped up in the Void.
[Should I choose to devour?]
Upon seeing this notification, Lin Zichen immediately relaxed and stopped throwing heavy punches at the disfigured Masked Man on the ground.
Because he knew that the Masked Man was dead, turned into a pool of lifeless matter that could be swallowed.
Advanced Tier 6 expert died at the hands of a student whose Biological Rank was only ordinary Tier 9, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Even if you can see things clearly, you can't die in peace.
Because his head had been smashed off, leaving only a pile of rotten flesh mixed with mud.
"I killed an Advanced Tier 6 expert..."
Lin Zichen slumped to the ground, breathing heavily and erratically, feeling as if it were all unreal.
Although the one killed was a heavily injured Advanced Tier 6 expert.
Although I admit that there was an element of surprise attack involved.
But!
No matter how injured the opponent is, their strength is still at the Advanced Tier 4.
No matter how many times I launch a sneak attack, my Biological Rank will only be ordinary Tier 9.
However, he killed his opponent without taking any damage in just over ten minutes using only an ordinary Tier 9 physical body.
"I'm really strong..."
Lin Zichen couldn't help but murmur aloud.
Only at this moment did he realize how powerful he truly was.
A body Tertiary Body Tempering to perfection, plus various Biological Attribute that can enhance strength.
Even enemies several ranks higher have a chance of being defeated.
Just as Lin Zichen was thinking about these things.
A faint, aged voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"To fight against Advanced Tier 6 expert with an ordinary Tier 9 physique, there is such a genius on Earth. It seems that this plan was worthwhile."
"Who?!"
Lin Zichen suddenly turned around.
Then, what came into his view was a hunched old man wearing a mask.
The mask on the other person's face had a very conspicuous Clover pattern engraved on it.
