48. Driven Mad by Anger! (Seeking good reviews, seeking tips)

"Game time is over. Now... you can die!"

Lu Chen's slightly hoarse voice rang out, his eyes brimming with bloodlust and murderous intent.

The way he looked at them was as if he were staring at corpses.

The moment his words fell, Lu Chen and his ten men moved at once.

Empowered, they were unstoppable.

Several Fifth-grade accompanying instructors were instantly struck, sent flying one after another.

Midair, blood scattered as they coughed uncontrollably.

With just a single attack, they had shattered their formation.

"Damn it, they took Forbidden Medicine—their strength's skyrocketed. Don't fight head-on."

"Hold out, the higher-ups will be here soon."

Liu Sheng and Wang Gan shouted as they circled two Sixth-grade Martial Artists charging at them.

After downing the drugs, these Heretics were no longer opponents they could contend with in a short time.

Lu Chen, however, paid them no mind at all. His gaze locked onto Lin Mo as he charged straight at him.

Watching Lu Chen vanish abruptly, Lin Mo frowned, his eyes darting as he quickly tracked the other's figure and aura.

This time, Lu Chen's speed was too fast.

"Boom!"

From the right, Lu Chen appeared without warning and threw a punch—the very air seemed to explode from the blow.

But Lin Mo was no slouch either; he pinpointed the opponent's position in an instant and responded in time.

"Didn't expect you to be this strong, kid. But that just makes you more deserving of death!"

Before Lu Chen's words faded, his figure vanished again, his speed increasing once more.

Lin Mo's brow furrowed tightly. This time, it was too fast—even he could barely keep up.

The Heretics really weren't to be trifled with.

"Boom!"

A punch came out of nowhere, slamming into him from behind.

Lin Mo couldn't dodge in time and had no choice but to take the hit.

"Stagger, stagger, stagger~"

Reeling from the force, he stumbled forward several steps, his back throbbing with pain.

It was fortunate that he had completed Skin Refining and Bone Refining; otherwise, it wouldn't have just been pain.

He might have had several ribs cracked, or even had his back punched clean through.

He could tell that Lu Chen's combat power now far surpassed his own.

"That pill was that potent—it boosted his strength this much?"

Lin Mo was astonished. He'd long heard that some forbidden drugs could instantly enhance one's combat power.

Seeing it today, it was true.

But the higher the boost from such forbidden drugs, the greater the side effects afterward.

Most of them even caused irreversible damage, ruining a martial artist's future.

In severe cases, they could cost you your life!

Even so, these Heretics had swallowed them without hesitation—crazy enough.

After taking that punch, Lin Mo surged forward.

Now that Lu Chen's speed and power had been greatly enhanced, Lin Mo could barely track his movements.

If he stayed put and defended, he'd be far too passive.

So he moved.

"Think you can run?"

Seeing Lin Mo dash off to one side, Lu Chen snarled with a vicious grin and gave chase.

"Don't just stand there—Hundred Life Flower!"

Lin Mo shouted as he ran, calling out to Xiao Ya, Lin Dabao, and the others ahead.

Hearing this, they were stunned for a moment, then quickly grasped Lin Mo's meaning.

He was hinting for them to guard the cave.

The cave where they had picked the Hundred Life Flower had sturdy rock walls and a small entrance.

If they holed up inside to defend, the enemies could only come in one at a time.

If that happened, with so many of them inside striking simultaneously, Lu Chen and his Heretics would have no advantage.

Having figured it all out, Lin Dabao and the others immediately burrowed into the cave and assumed defensive positions inside.

If any of the Heretics tried to enter, they'd be in for a world of trouble.

With no more worries, Lin Mo instantly spun around and threw a punch behind him.

Without even checking whether the punch landed on Lu Chen, he turned and charged headlong toward the battle group where the instructors were.

Earlier, with Lin Dabao and the others outside, if he had recklessly run around, Lu Chen could have suddenly gone after them, and he would have had no way to stop it.

Now that Lin Dabao and the others were inside the cave, even if Lu Chen charged over, it would be hard for him to breach that narrow entrance.

"Bastard, if you've got guts, don't run!"

Lu Chen was furious at this point. Lin Mo was as agile as a monkey.

Every time he was about to catch up, the kid would suddenly throw a wild punch, then change direction and dodge, with no pattern or warning to follow.

For a while, this game of chase and escape showed no sign of ending.

"You think I'll stop just because you say so? Where's the fun in that?"

Lin Mo shot back, then sidestepped and veered off in another direction to evade.

"Bastard! I'm going to kill you."

Back and forth, wasting a lot of time, Lu Chen began to grow anxious.

Reinforcements were coming soon.

And they would definitely be Seventh-grade experts.

Even though Lu Chen and his men were no pushovers and had taken Forbidden Medicine, they were still far from matching a Seventh-grade expert.

Every three grades marked a watershed.

And the gap from Sixth to Seventh grade was like a chasm!

It simply couldn't be bridged by numbers.

If you were a Sixth-grade, and the enemy gathered a bunch of Fourth- and Fifth-grade martial artists, there was still a good chance they could beat you.

But once you stepped into the Seventh-grade level, even if ten or twenty Sixth-grade martial artists attacked at once, it would be hard to restrain a single Seventh-grade martial artist.

Let alone injuring them.

In fact, there was a high chance the Seventh-grade martial artist would turn the tables and kill them all!

That was the terror of martial artists above Seventh-grade.

"Meteor Fist!"

Seeing that Lin Mo refused to engage him directly and his Movement Technique was so bizarre, Lu Chen angrily unleashed Meteor Fist.

He tried to use a wide-area attack to restrict Lin Mo's movements.

But at that moment, Lin Mo's Beginner-level Movement Technique advantage came into play.

As if predicting the strikes, Lin Mo dodged every attack with precision.

This kind of footwork drove Lu Chen even crazier.

"Could this kid's Movement Technique already be at Beginner level?"

A thought surfaced in his mind.

But Lu Chen refused to believe it.

If it was true, then this Lin Mo was too monstrous, wasn't he?

Eighteen years old, not only had he reached Fourth-grade blood energy or higher, but his combat power was also comparable to above Peak Fifth Rank.

He had also completed Skin Refining and Bone Refining.

And he possessed a Lightning Ability stronger than his own.

On top of that, this kid's martial skill seemed to be at the Profound rank.

And its level was even higher than his own after ten years of bitter training.

And now, you're telling me this kid also has Beginner-level Movement Technique?

Are you trying to defy the heavens, kid?

But no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, the facts were right before his eyes.

No matter how he attacked, this kid slipped away like an eel, dodging cleanly—infuriating!

What made him even angrier was that this kid had now run into the battlefield between his men and the instructors.

Lin Mo couldn't suppress the current Lu Chen, but against his subordinates, he was more than enough, even though those subordinates had all taken drugs.

So Lu Chen could only watch helplessly as Lin Mo knocked out several of his men, two punches each, in quick succession.

Those subordinates immediately fell into chaos!

The fight was going perfectly—they were beating these instructors black and blue, even driving them to the brink of death.

But the moment Lin Mo showed up, everything fell apart!

They hadn't even stepped into Bone Refining, had no Mystery Grade martial skills, and certainly no powerful Lightning Ability.

Even if they popped pills, they couldn't withstand two punches from Lin Mo.

"Bastard! I'll kill you!"

Watching his men get taken down one by one, Yet whenever he charged in, Lin Mo dodged straight away, never clashing head-on with him—Lu Chen was going insane!

If this kept up, what was the point of even playing?
