Rampage

"Get out of here!"

Seeing Pietro frozen in place, Xu Mo called out a reminder.

He was not sure whether that strike had killed the other man.

If they did not leave, they could easily get caught up in the battle that followed.

"Oh, right!"

After being reminded, Pietro hesitated no longer and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Inside the building, Kingpin coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His bloodstained face revealed a look of horror.

That strike had nearly shattered the ribs in his chest.

Even if they were not broken, they had probably cracked.

His internal organs also seemed to have suffered some damage from the immense force.

Aside from that mutant monster, this was the second time he had encountered such a crushing defeat.

Kingpin took a deep breath and laboriously pulled a small syringe from his sleeve.

This was a drug developed by his secret laboratory. It could completely unleash the body's potential and increase physical abilities five- or sixfold.

However, the technology was still imperfect. Once the drug wore off, it would cause irreversible damage to the body.

Even if he survived, he would likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

This had originally been his trump card against that mutant, but he had no choice but to use it now.

Otherwise, he might not even survive the night.

With that thought, he did not hesitate and jabbed the syringe into the base of his thigh.

Outside the building.

Xu Mo saw that there was no more movement inside.

He immediately stepped toward the entrance.

Judging by their earlier exchange, the other man's strength did not exceed two tons.

Still, for an ordinary human to train himself to that level was already extraordinarily gifted.

Although the man was far weaker than him, Xu Mo did not let down his guard.

Nor did he intend to spare him.

The moment he entered the room, Xu Mo spotted Kingpin buried beneath the debris.

Xu Mo immediately sprang forward and threw a vicious kick, intending to finish him off right there.

Just as his right foot was about to strike Kingpin, a faint bloody red hue appeared over the skin of the buried man. Then Kingpin suddenly shot up from the ground.

He avoided Xu Mo's kick.

Seeing that the other man had become several times faster than before,

Xu Mo cautiously retreated from the room.

Kingpin followed closely behind him.

He looked terrifying now. Every inch of his skin had turned blood-red, and in some places, it had even split open, thin streams of blood slowly seeping from the wounds.

"Damn it!"

Xu Mo immediately realized that the man had used some kind of drug that inflicted severe damage on his body.

After all, this world was full of bizarre black technology. A drug like this was not surprising.

Kingpin did not waste words after coming outside. He lunged directly at Xu Mo.

He knew very well that the drug's effects were time-limited. If he could not finish Xu Mo before they faded, then he would be the one to die.

Almost instantly, the two figures collided again.

This time, it was no longer the utterly one-sided battle from before.

The two were nearly evenly matched.

Kingpin, enhanced by the drug, even surpassed Xu Mo in raw strength.

Xu Mo could only rely on being slightly faster to keep entangling with him.

In terms of combat experience, he still lagged somewhat behind Kingpin.

After all, less than half a month ago, he had still been an ordinary person. Trying to stand on equal footing with Kingpin, who had fought his way up step by step, in such a short time was indeed wishful thinking.

Knowing that fists alone would probably not be enough to defeat his opponent, Xu Mo raised a hand. A weapon forged from alloy and shaped like a Tang saber appeared in his grasp.

The system came with an infinitely large storage space.

However, this storage space could only hold items exchanged through the system.

This saber was precisely a weapon he had exchanged from the system.

It had cost three hundred points.

It was a Tier 4 weapon from the Cold Moon Series, capable of withstanding the full-power burst of a Junior War General without being damaged.

Seeing the saber appear abruptly in Xu Mo's hand, Kingpin's eyes showed a trace of wariness.

Xu Mo gripped the blade and charged forward, slashing fiercely at him.

Just as the saber was about to touch Kingpin's skin, Xu Mo felt resistance from his hand.

The blade had been firmly caught by Kingpin.

He was wearing a pair of gloves made from some kind of metal. Since they could withstand the saber's slash, they were clearly no ordinary alloy.

A cruel smile appeared on Kingpin's face.

"Now it's my turn!"

With that, he clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it viciously toward Xu Mo.

With his saber caught, Xu Mo had no choice but to clench his left hand into a fist and meet the blow head-on.

After a tremendous boom,

Kingpin remained completely still, while Xu Mo rolled through the air and landed back where he had been before.

Looking at his constantly trembling left hand,

Xu Mo's expression turned grave.

Conservatively speaking, the other man's strength had already reached twelve or thirteen tons.

Although the skin across his body continued to crack with every movement, it looked like he could still hold out for quite a while.

Without giving Xu Mo a chance to catch his breath, Kingpin's massive figure appeared before him again.

The two tangled together once more.

Thunderous booms echoed continuously through the street.

Unlike before, the roles of offense and defense had reversed. Kingpin now kept attacking Xu Mo, while Xu Mo used the other man's force to constantly pull away and keep him occupied.

If not for the saber in Xu Mo's hand, he would likely have already been defeated.

"This can't go on!"

A flash of anxiety crossed Xu Mo's eyes.

He could feel that, under the other man's relentless power, both his arms were gradually going numb.

If this continued, it would not be long before he could no longer block the man's attacks.

And with their speeds nearly equal, escaping would be difficult as well.

The only option now was to master the first level of Thunder Blade.

Once he mastered the first level, his explosive force would double, reaching twenty tons.

Kingpin's strength did not exceed fifteen tons at the moment.

Just then,

two figures came running from the distance.

Only when they drew close did Xu Mo realize they were Wanda and Pietro, the brother and sister.

Pietro was holding a submachine gun.

Wanda carried a Remington Shotgun. With her ordinary physique, she was somewhat out of breath after running all this way.

However, neither of them had time to rest. They raised their guns and pulled the triggers at Kingpin, who had already separated from Xu Mo.

Xu Mo's expression changed when he saw them.

"Why did you two come back?!"

He knew very well that firearms no longer posed much threat to him or Kingpin.

"You came to save me. I can't just leave you behind!"

Pietro explained while fighting against the recoil of the gun.

Wanda nodded beside him.

He and Wanda had been hiding in a car in the distance, watching the battle.

That way, even if Kingpin discovered them, they could immediately control the car and flee.

But after seeing Xu Mo gradually fall into a disadvantage, neither of them could sit still. They grabbed two guns from the car and rushed over.

After witnessing Xu Mo and Kingpin's speed, they had chosen firearms based on whether they could hit their target.

And that was indeed the case.

Under the suppressing fire of the submachine gun and the shotgun's wide attack range, although Kingpin's reactions were not slow, he was still hit several times in an instant.

The damage was not severe, but the pain successfully enraged him.

"You're courting death!"

With a furious roar, Kingpin flashed forward and charged at Wanda, who was closest to him.
