Just an ordinary Traveler

The man leading the Greedy Wolf Gang clenched his fists, making his knuckles crack. His eyes were cold as he laughed cruelly. "Good. I, Tie Qiu, love people with backbone!"

"The tougher the bones... the better it feels to crush them!"

Yellow Hair stood casually beside Lin Yu and couldn't help laughing:

"Tie Qiu? Iron ball? Who the hell picks a name like that? Might as well call me Bowling Ball!"

Tie Qiu immediately flew into a rage:

"You're asking to die!"

Boom!

In an instant.

Tie Qiu's muscles bulged, bursting straight through his black T-shirt to expose bronze skin as hard as steel. A cold, rigid aura began radiating from within his body...

And that aura was the iron element!

As Transcendents, everyone was naturally familiar with basic elements like this.

Scarlet cruelty gleamed in Zhai Guang's eyes. His gaze brimmed with interest, as though he had found an evenly matched opponent!

As someone of the flesh sequence, the desire to fight was etched into the very core of his being.

Beating someone into a bloody pulp, scattering their organs, snapping their tendons, and breaking their bones made him happy.

Being beaten black and blue himself, left in unbearable agony and on the verge of death, made him just as happy.

That was the creed of the flesh sequence.

Blood and slaughter!

Her red dress trailing across the ground, Ye Qing walked up beside Lin Yu on long, fair legs with smooth, lustrous skin. She studied Tie Qiu with interest. "The iron element... Sequence 9 of the steel pathway: Iron Man."

Zhai Guang sneered:

"Let me handle him!"

He was about to step forward when Lin Yu cut him off:

"No, let Yellow Hair go."

Zhai Guang frowned, his gaze turning icy:

"You're not fucking qualified to order me around."

Lin Yu said calmly:

"Are you an idiot? You're going to pit flesh against steel?

"Let Yellow Hair use electricity. Steel conducts electricity. It's the most obvious counter there is. Can't you see that?"

Zhai Guang faltered.

He had to admit that Lin Yu made a lot of sense.

But...!

"Even so, I'm not afraid of him!"

Zhai Guang stubbornly insisted, his eyes cold.

Yellow Hair, however, looked rather excited:

"Don't fucking fight me for him! I love electrocuting people. There are more than twenty of them. You afraid you'll run out of people to kill? Leave this one to me!"

With that.

Lightning erupted all over Yellow Hair's body as he charged straight at Tie Qiu, shouting as he ran:

"Don't chicken out, you wolf pup! Grandpa's coming!"

Lightning?

Tie Qiu's expression soured.

Fuck.

The lightning sequence was incredibly rare in this world. How had he managed to run into someone from it?

He wanted to let someone else handle Yellow Hair, but Yellow Hair had singled him out and cursed him to his face. If he backed down now, how would he ever show his face in the Greedy Wolf Gang again?

Tie Qiu could only grit his teeth. The iron element suffused his body as he charged at Yellow Hair in turn.

In an instant!

The two clashed!

Terrifying lightning burst from Yellow Hair's fist, while Tie Qiu's fist turned completely metallic, giving off a gray sheen.

In an instant!

Boom!

Their fists collided!

Yellow Hair felt an immense force that jarred his arm numb!

Tie Qiu was no ordinary Transcendent. His strength was tremendous, and the hardness provided by the metal pushed his power and impact to the absolute limit!

Tie Qiu fared no better. The instant their fists collided,

a surge of violent lightning swept over him, piercing his flesh and numbing his arm.

Worse still!

The steel aura inside him had become a fucking perfect conductor!

Yellow Hair's lightning might originally have had a power of eight, but once conducted through him, it shot straight up to twelve. Following the steel aura, the lightning rampaged through every part of his body.

At that moment...

Tie Qiu felt his legs turn to jelly.

Shit...

Getting electrocuted really didn't feel good.

"You motherfucker..."

Tie Qiu couldn't help swearing.

Yellow Hair grinned:

"Hahahahaha! I'll fucking fry you!"

"Don't run!"

Yellow Hair rubbed his numb arm and charged again.

Yellow Hair was utterly thrilled, utterly delighted.

Under normal circumstances, he could never have been a match for Tie Qiu. Tie Qiu was even a little stronger than Zhai Guang. How could he possibly beat him?

But with a counter like this!

The result was a different story!

Sure, you're strong.

But I'll fucking electrocute you to death!

Just then.

The other outlaws also revealed fierce, brutal expressions, and one of them thrust his arm forward.

"Fuck! Get them, boys! Kill the others first!"

As his words fell.

The other twenty-odd outlaws immediately licked their lips. Murderous intent radiated from them as they charged with weapons in hand.

Many of them were ordinary people!

But years of fighting and pillaging had made them exceptionally bold!

Even against Transcendents, they dared to attack from behind their own Transcendents!

So what if they were Transcendents?

A slash would still hurt them!

Zhai Guang snorted and glanced at Lin Yu. Blood energy suffused his body as he charged straight at the twenty-odd outlaws of the Greedy Wolf Gang.

A tall, thin Transcendent from the Greedy Wolf Gang surged with energy. Scorching power swept in all directions as he abruptly pivoted to intercept Zhai Guang, his voice filled with fury and violence:

"Trash! Your opponent is me! Remember my fucking name-Zhao Yang!"

Zhai Guang's gaze was savage:

"You're a fucking dick!"

"Fuck!"

Boom!

Zhai Guang opened with a punch!

Not to be outdone, Zhao Yang roared back:

"You're not even a fucking dick!"

"Fuck!"

Boom!

He threw a fierce punch of his own.

The two began fighting.

Honestly.

Lin Yu really felt that Zhai Guang would fit right into the Greedy Wolf Gang. His personality, temperament, and bloodlust were practically identical to those of these outlaws...

He was almost beginning to feel a sense of kinship on the Greedy Wolf Gang's behalf.

Like a battlefield commentator, Ye Qing continued her report with interest:

"Scorching, violent energy. The fire attribute pathway. He doesn't seem very levelheaded. Could he be... Sequence 9: Fire Fury?"

The outlaws continued charging at Lin Yu and Ye Qing. They believed Lin Yu was the leader, and his sequence didn't seem suited to combat, so they intended to capture the leader first.

Watching the outlaws draw steadily closer, Lin Yu's eyelid twitched. He looked at Ye Qing and said:

"Aren't you going to help? Even Cheng Yuening has joined in."

Cheng Yuening had silently vanished before Zhai Guang charged forward. No one had noticed...

She was hiding in the darkness, in a corner.

Waiting for the right moment.

As an assassin.

She wouldn't fight head-on.

And when she did strike, it usually meant someone was about to die.

A trace of disdain appeared in Ye Qing's alluring eyes:

"You're a grown man, and instead of going yourself, you want a delicate little woman like me to fight them to the death?"

Lin Yu replied with complete conviction:

"I'm a support sequence!"

Ye Qing replied just as calmly:

"I'm a squishy sequence. I'm only suited to dealing damage from the back."

Just as Lin Yu was about to argue his case, the outlaws locked onto him. Their eyes were fierce and brutal, like a pack of bloodthirsty lone wolves.

"If you're a man, stop hiding! Get out here and die!"

"Weren't you running your fucking mouth earlier? Why are you hiding behind a woman now?"

"Get out here!"

The curses rang out without pause.

Lin Yu's face immediately darkened.

Shit...

Why were these damned bastards helping Ye Qing out?

Ye Qing looked at Lin Yu with a faint, teasing smile. "They're calling for you by name... What, are you still planning to hide behind me?"

Lin Yu scowled:

"If I'm about to die... remember to help me!"

"I remember your Red Spider Lily!"

With that.

His face dark, Lin Yu hefted his machete and walked toward the outlaws, seething with resentment.

Fuck!

They just had to single him out and make him fight.

Then none of them were fucking leaving alive!

Die, all of you!

He had only wanted to coast along, hide behind a few Transcendents, and find a couple of isolated bandits to test his strength on. Who the fuck could have imagined he'd end up doing the heavy lifting?

One against twenty...

This was a fight for his life.

Standing behind him, Ye Qing watched Lin Yu's retreating figure with amusement and murmured so quietly that only she could hear:

"Lin Yu... let's see how well this support sequence of yours can fight!"

The outlaws had shouted fiercely enough, but when they actually saw Lin Yu emerge with a machete, they couldn't help feeling uneasy. After all, Lin Yu had charged over here alone just moments ago.

This man's sequence...

Couldn't be ordinary, could it?

Among the outlaws, a short man with a limp watched Lin Yu warily. His eyes were cold as he warned the men beside him, "No need to bother with any code of honor against someone like this. We'll all attack together!"

Everyone immediately nodded:

"Yes, Brother Cripple!"

The man with the limp was also a Transcendent.

But...

Looking at the scowling Lin Yu, he still felt uneasy. Something kept telling him Lin Yu was no ordinary man.

What he didn't know, however...

Was that Lin Yu really was just an ordinary support sequence.

Just an ordinary Traveler.
