Lian Feng, held in his arms, felt that power surge like the vast rivers and mountains. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her face filled with disbelief.
How had he done this?
Was it Inner Force?
Why did it feel as though she were facing the mighty power of nature?
"The Dao?"
The words martial arts made Lian Feng think of the philosophy of the Dao, which was closely tied to them.
"Very clever!"
Hearing that, Yun Ming could not help but praise Lian Feng's sharp insight.
In the simulation, his cultivation had reached a terrifying level. He had practiced countless martial arts and had long entered the supreme realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Martial arts like the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Technique, which could stir changes in the forces of heaven, naturally required a profound understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth.
Therefore, it would not have been an exaggeration to say that, in the simulation, he had already entered the Dao.
Whoosh!
At that moment, an inexplicable disturbance suddenly rose behind Yun Ming.
He instantly caught the anomaly. At the very moment he had thrown that palm strike, Qiang Wei had already quietly departed using the Wormhole Teleportation Technique, vanishing without a trace.
Immediately afterward, a black figure charged at Yun Ming with lightning speed.
"Zhao Xin?"
Yun Ming narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the newcomer.
However, the other man was simply too fast, like a bolt of lightning. Yun Ming had no way to dodge.
Bang!
Left with no choice, Yun Ming could only instinctively raise a hand to block.
A tyrannical, unreasonable force instantly surged through his entire body. In that instant, his muscles and bones felt as though they were about to split apart from the impact, as if he had been struck by lightning, while half the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.
At that very moment, another figure suddenly appeared beside Yun Ming, seized his shoulder, and flung him away with irresistible force.
Lian Feng was also rescued by that figure in passing.
Cough, cough, cough!
Yun Ming crashed heavily onto the ground and slid several meters, scarlet blood spilling from the corner of his mouth as he coughed.
He looked up ahead and saw Qiang Wei, Lian Feng, and Zhao Xin standing side by side.
Yun Ming bent down to wipe the blood from his lips, then laughed bitterly. "So this is the power of a Super Gene? Truly impressive."
Qiang Wei and Ge Xiaolun's disappointing performances had once made Yun Ming question the power of Super Genes, making him think they were nothing special.
But now that he had taken Zhao Xin's thunderous blow head-on, it felt as if he had been struck by a high-speed train. His entire body hurt as though it were being torn apart, and the agony was unbearable.
When it came to a true head-on clash, these so-called Super Genes made him realize just how fragile he still was.
Fortunately, he possessed a Body of Steel. Otherwise, his arm would likely have already been shattered by the impact.
"Let's see what you can do now." Qiang Wei stared coldly at Yun Ming, a mocking sneer curling across her lips.
"Brother, you should surrender already." Zhao Xin burst into laughter. He had not expected a single strike from him to leave his opponent in such a sorry state.
A surge of pride rose in his heart. He felt unbelievably powerful.
"Why don't you see whether Lian Feng can move?" Yun Ming said calmly, taking a deep breath and forcing his breathing back into rhythm.
Hearing that, Qiang Wei and Zhao Xin finally turned their attention to Lian Feng between them.
"Aunt Lian Feng, what's wrong?" Zhao Xin asked worriedly.
"Watch out!" Lian Feng suddenly cried out.
The two immediately turned back, only to see a terrifying sword finger appear from thin air and strike precisely between Zhao Xin's brows.
"Ah!" Zhao Xin screamed miserably. His head felt as though it were about to explode. From his brain to the rest of his body, it was as if countless swords had pierced through him, torturing him so badly he wished he were dead.
His body flew backward violently before crashing heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Qiang Wei tried to flee, but Yun Ming knocked her down with a palm strike.
The physical qualities of Super Soldiers were certainly extraordinary, but unfortunately, Qiang Wei was still too slow before Yun Ming, and her methods were simplistic and feeble.
After several exchanges of fists and kicks, Yun Ming sent Qiang Wei flying with a kick, and she crashed heavily in the distance.
Lian Feng fell into Yun Ming's hands once more.
"Despicable!" Qiang Wei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and angrily berated Yun Ming.
She thought Yun Ming was utterly disgusting.
The behavior of a petty villain!
"Idiot." Yun Ming responded dismissively. He had no desire to waste words arguing with Qiang Wei.
He wrapped an arm around Lian Feng, flashed away, and fled into the distance. He had no intention of continuing to tangle with them.
"Zhao Xin, how are you?" Rather than pursue immediately, Qiang Wei hurried to Zhao Xin's side to check his injuries.
"My God, my head feels numb."
Zhao Xin's face was full of pain. His entire body ached terribly, especially his head. His hair felt like needles, and even the slightest breeze made his head throb violently. He felt utterly miserable.
"Can you still move?" Qiang Wei asked with concern.
"I... I should be able to if I grit my teeth." Zhao Xin endured the pain, shook his head, and tried hard to remain conscious.
He slowly got to his feet and stared firmly at the two forks ahead. "Which way did he go?"
"Left!" Qiang Wei answered swiftly.
"Alright!" Upon hearing that, Zhao Xin gave chase like lightning. His figure swiftly vanished into the night, leaving Qiang Wei behind. Without another word, she immediately used her wormhole transportation ability to call for reinforcements.
Meanwhile, Yun Ming had already sensed Zhao Xin closing in behind him. He could not help but frown, secretly astonished by Zhao Xin's speed.
He could cover a hundred meters in one breath, yet Zhao Xin was at least twice as fast as he was.
That kind of speed was simply beyond compare.
"You Super Soldiers really are tenacious." Yun Ming said in a low voice to Lian Feng.
His Full Power Strike had just landed on Zhao Xin's vital point. He had thought it would render Zhao Xin unable to fight, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xin could still continue pursuing him. Even Yun Ming could not help but admire such stubborn vitality.
In contrast, after taking Zhao Xin's strike, Yun Ming felt as though he had lost half his health bar. His body was in an extremely terrible state.
He stopped, set Lian Feng down, and took a deep breath, preparing for the battle that was about to come.
Looking at Yun Ming's back, Lian Feng said, "Why can't you trust us? Are you worried that we would harm you? You are so powerful, and Blue Star is now facing an invasion by an Alien Civilization. Human civilization is on the brink of destruction. This is precisely the time when extraordinary people like you must unite to defend our home. We need your help more than anything. Why would we harm you?"
"Besides, the net has already been cast. Two fists cannot defeat four hands. You should know that after your fight just now. If you turn back now, it is not too late." Lian Feng tried to persuade him earnestly.
Yun Ming could not help glancing at her.
He had to admit that Lian Feng's words had genuinely moved him.
"What about those nineteen lives? What about all the destruction I caused along the way?" Yun Ming asked in return.
Lian Feng hesitated for a moment. "As you said, exceptional matters should be handled exceptionally."
"And what about us?" Yun Ming smiled and moved closer to her face.
"We'll let it all go." Lian Feng gritted her teeth. "As long as you do not cause trouble again, I will pretend none of this ever happened."
Yun Ming played with Lian Feng's golden hair and stroked her soft cheek. "But I really do like you."
Lian Feng: "..."
"How about this? Become my woman, and I can charge forward for love," Yun Ming whispered into her ear.
Before you continue
