Seeing that Lin Yu and the others had no intention of forcing their way through, the Road Bandits ahead sneered, moved the spike strips and barricades aside, and drove three heavy-duty pickups toward them in a menacing charge!

The black pickups drove abreast, their beds packed with men, radiating an overwhelming sense of menace!

"You lowly little rats, your granddaddy's here! Hahahahaha!"

A burly man standing two meters tall, with a dragon tattooed on his face, held a megaphone and laughed arrogantly.

His voice rang out, brazen beyond belief!

The survivors began trembling again, their faces pale and their legs weak with terror.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This guy...

Was a Transcendent too.

Shen Sui pushed up his black-framed glasses with one hand, glanced at the three jeeps behind them, and said:

"Go deal with the scum behind us first. Make it quick."

"As for the ones in front... leave them to me."

Shen Sui's voice was calm and unhurried, as though the three heavily armored pickups ahead posed no threat whatsoever.

Lin Yu was a little surprised.

Was this mysterious captain finally going to show his strength?

Ever since joining the squad, Lin Yu had never seen Shen Sui fight. They usually avoided danger whenever possible, and when they couldn't, Zhai Guang and the other three handled it. Shen Sui never needed to go all out.

Even on the rare occasions when Shen Sui acted, he had merely displayed his powerful mental strength.

This time, however, he seemed ready to get serious.

Cruelty filled Zhai Guang's eyes as he licked his lips.

"Roger that, Captain!"

Zhai Guang swung onto his black armored motorcycle and twisted the throttle all the way open. The engine roared, and with savagery and madness in his eyes, he shot off in a streak of black.

He charged single-handedly toward the three jeeps!

This was the quickest and cleanest he had ever followed an order.

Yellow Hair panicked:

"You bastard... wait for me!"

Yellow Hair hurried onto his bicycle and raced after him in a streak of silver, afraid that if he was too slow, Zhai Guang would kill everyone before he got there.

Lin Yu's face darkened.

Were they all battle maniacs?

They seemed never to have considered what they would do if they couldn't win!

Nor had they considered...

What would happen if Shen Sui couldn't hold off the enemies in front.

Normally, the enemies attacking from the front would definitely be stronger.

Yet they seemed to have absolute faith in Shen Sui.

In the brief instant Lin Yu hesitated, Ye Qing floored the accelerator and shot off in a streak of red, taking Cheng Yuening along in the passenger seat with her head lowered.

Fine, fine, fine. You're all brave warriors!

I'm the only coward, okay?!

Fuming, Lin Yu stepped onto the Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard and activated high-speed mode.

120 miles per hour!

Activate!

Boom!

In an instant.

Tremendous power burst from the Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard. It took only 0.1 seconds to accelerate from zero to 120 miles per hour. For a moment, Lin Yu felt as though his body was flying ahead while his soul chased after it.

Almost instantly.

He overtook the Red Supercar, then the silver-white bicycle...

And finally.

He overtook the armored motorcycle.

At that moment.

Zhai Guang and the others were dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Lin Yu on his skateboard.

How could someone from a support sequence be this gutsy?

Little did they know, Lin Yu was just as stunned.

Shit.

I screwed up!

Who could have guessed the Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard would launch so violently, shooting straight up to 120 miles per hour?!

Before he could react, he had already overtaken Zhai Guang and charged to the very front.

All Lin Yu could do was grit his teeth and keep charging, his face dark.

Fuck!

I'm already charging! What else can I do?!

I can't slow down, go back behind them, and say I was only kidding, can I?

I'm a Transcendent now, after all. That would be way too embarrassing!

The corners of Zhai Guang's mouth twitched twice.

"Fuck... you're a badass."

Zhai Guang silently cranked the throttle harder, beginning to resent his armored motorcycle. Day 10,086 of wanting a Transcendent Transport.

Yellow Hair was wildly excited, pedaling so hard his bicycle nearly started smoking.

"Hahahahaha! That's my brother for you! What a beast!"

Whoosh!

With Yellow Hair going all out, his bicycle surged to top speed once more and followed behind Lin Yu.

The survivors behind them couldn't help growing excited at the sight, their spirits soaring!

They had never expected their squad's Transcendents to take the initiative and attack the Road Bandits instead of being afraid!

And what was more!

Lin Yu, who had only just awakened and belonged to a support sequence, had charged right to the front!

Fuck!

Now that was badass!

What was there to be afraid of anymore?

"God Lin, you're a badass! Kill those scumbags!"

"You've got this! We'll definitely win! Justice will prevail!"

"Fuck, we made it through such a tough Instance! What's there to fear from a bunch of road scum?"

"Lin Yu, I want to have your babies!"

"Go, God Lin! Go, God Yellow Hair! Go, God Zhai!"

Hearing the survivors' cheers as he charged at the front, Lin Yu nearly lost his balance and fell.

Sorry...

"God Yellow Hair" was just too damn funny.

Surprise also appeared in Shen Sui's eyes as he looked at Lin Yu in disbelief.

"Did I misjudge him? Why would he be charging at the very front...?"

In the blink of an eye.

Lin Yu reached the three jeeps.

Lin Yu and the three jeeps moved in perfect sync, braking at the same time and facing off against each other.

The people inside the jeeps exchanged glances, watching Lin Yu warily and not daring to make any rash moves.

This man...

Anyone who dared charge over alone on a skateboard was definitely no ordinary Transcendent.

They couldn't afford to be careless!

Lin Yu, meanwhile, had no moves left. He could only stand there and gaze impassively at the three jeeps, wearing a cold, aloof expression as he silently pretended to be an expert.

Inside, however, he was screaming.

Where was Zhai Guang?

Where was Yellow Hair?

Where was Ye Qing?

Where was Cheng Yuening?

Hurry up and back me up!

I can't fucking fight them alone!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The doors of the three jeeps opened one after another, and a group of vicious-looking outlaws steeped in bloodlust stepped out. They carried weapons, their eyes brimming with bone-chilling killing intent.

Not one of them was someone to mess with!

As Road Bandits, every one of them had taken lives numbering in at least the double digits.

The bald outlaw leading them wore a thick gold chain and had a sleeve of dark tattoos covering his arm. With a cigar between his lips, he regarded Lin Yu with a deep gaze, a hint of admiration in his voice.

"You've got guts, charging over here alone. Interested in joining my Greedy Wolf Road Gang?"

The Greedy Wolf Road Gang...

Lin Yu considered the name. Since they called themselves a gang, this group of Road Bandits must have been fairly large.

Small groups of Road Bandits generally called themselves teams, not gangs.

Holding his broadsword, Lin Yu's lips curved into a cold smile.

"Joining a road gang isn't nearly as fun as killing a few wolf pups."

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

Zhai Guang braked hard and swung his armored motorcycle sideways to a stop beside Lin Yu. Bloodlust filled his eyes as he licked his lips. "You invite him, but not me? You little runts from the Greedy Wolf Gang."

Yellow Hair's bicycle leaped high into the air, then came to a stop beside Lin Yu in a streak of silver. He grinned.

"And me, you bunch of dumbasses!"

Yellow Hair remained as foul-mouthed as ever.

Screech...

The Red Supercar braked sharply.

Ye Qing stepped out, seductive and alluring in her red dress, followed by Cheng Yuening, who wore black and had so little presence that she was easy to overlook, though her features were discernibly regular and rather pretty.

Lin Yu's gaze was calm. He had only dared act so arrogantly because he had heard his teammates' vehicles approaching!

Fighting alone wasn't really his strong suit.

But with all his teammates here...

That was another matter entirely!
