"Game time is over. Now... you can die!"
Lu Chen's slightly hoarse voice rang out, his eyes brimming with bloodlust and killing intent.
The way he looked at them was as if he were looking at corpses.
The moment his words fell, Lu Chen and the other nine moved at once.
Enhanced, they were unstoppable as a sharpened blade.
Several Fifth-grade accompanying instructors were struck in an instant and sent flying.
Blood sprayed through the air as they vomited wildly.
A single attack had utterly routed them.
"Damn it, they took Forbidden Medicine. Their strength has surged—don't fight them head-on."
"Hold on! The adults will be here soon."
Liu Sheng and Wang Gan shouted as they tangled with the two Sixth-grade Martial Artists charging at them.
The drugged Heretics were no longer opponents they could contend with for the moment.
Lu Chen paid no attention to this side, staring fixedly at Lin Mo as he charged forward.
Watching Lu Chen suddenly vanish, Lin Mo frowned. His eyes shifted as he rapidly searched for the other man's figure and aura.
This time, Lu Chen was simply too fast.
"Bang!"
Lu Chen suddenly appeared on Lin Mo's right and threw a punch, blasting the air apart in that instant.
But Lin Mo was no pushover either. He immediately pinpointed the other man's position and responded in time.
"I didn't expect you to be this strong, kid. But that only makes you more deserving of death!"
Before Lu Chen had finished speaking, his figure vanished again, his speed increasing once more.
Lin Mo's brows knitted tightly. This time, Lu Chen was too fast—even he was having trouble keeping up.
The Heretics really were not easy to deal with.
"Bang!"
A punch came blasting out from behind him without warning.
Lin Mo could not dodge in time and could only take the punch head-on.
"Thud, thud, thud—"
The force sent him staggering forward several steps, pain flaring across his back.
Fortunately, he had completed Skin Refining and Bone Refining. Otherwise, he would not have merely felt pain.
Several bones would likely have shattered, and that punch might even have pierced straight through his back.
He could feel that Lu Chen's combat strength now far surpassed his own.
"That pill was actually this powerful? It raised his combat strength by so much!"
Lin Mo was astonished. He had long heard that certain banned drugs could instantly raise one's combat strength.
Seeing it today, it was indeed true.
However, the greater the boost provided by a banned drug, the greater the side effects afterward.
Most could even cause irreversible damage and ruin a martial artist's future.
In severe cases, they could directly cost one their life!
Even so, these Heretics had swallowed them without the slightest hesitation. They were truly insane.
After taking that punch, Lin Mo used the momentum to dash forward.
Lu Chen's speed and combat strength had both risen tremendously. Even tracking his movements was already extremely difficult for Lin Mo.
If he stood still and defended, he would be far too passive.
So, he moved.
"Think you can run?"
Seeing Lin Mo flee to one side, Lu Chen snarled and gave chase.
"Don't just stand there—Hundred Life Flower!"
As he ran, Lin Mo shouted at Xiao Ya, Lin Dabao, and the others ahead.
They were initially stunned, but immediately understood what Lin Mo meant.
Lin Mo was hinting for them to guard the cave.
The cave where they had previously picked the Hundred Life Flower had sturdy rock walls surrounding it, and its entrance was narrow.
If they hid inside to defend, the enemy could only poke their heads in one at a time.
If that happened, with so many of them attacking together inside the cave, Lu Chen and his fellow Heretics would naturally gain no advantage.
Having figured everything out, Lin Dabao and the others immediately slipped into the cave and assumed defensive stances inside.
Any Heretic who entered would inevitably be in for a disaster.
With no more concerns, Lin Mo instantly spun around and threw a punch behind him.
Without caring whether the punch hit Lu Chen or not, he charged toward the battle between the instructors without looking back.
Earlier, Lin Dabao and the others had been outside. If he had run around recklessly, and Lu Chen had suddenly gone to kill them, there would have been nothing he could do.
Now that Lin Dabao and the others had entered the cave, even if Lu Chen went after them, it would be difficult for him to force his way through that narrow entrance.
"Bastard! If you've got the guts, stop running!"
Lu Chen was furious as well. Lin Mo was as nimble as a monkey.
Whenever he was about to catch up, the kid would suddenly throw a wild punch, then immediately change direction and dodge away, without the slightest warning or pattern.
For a time, their chase-and-flee routine simply would not end.
"You say stop running, and I should stop running? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
Lin Mo shot back, then sidestepped again and switched directions to evade.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
After wasting so much time going back and forth, Lu Chen began to grow anxious.
The rescuers would arrive soon.
And whoever came would definitely be a Seventh-grade powerhouse.
Even though Lu Chen and the others were not weak and had taken Forbidden Medicine—
The gap was still far too great for them to deal with a Seventh-grade powerhouse.
Every three ranks marked a watershed.
And the leap from Sixth-grade to Seventh-grade was even more like a vast chasm!
It was not something numbers could make up for at all.
If you were Sixth-grade, gathering more Fourth-grade and Fifth-grade martial artists still gave you a good chance of defeating you.
But once one stepped into the Seventh-grade realm—
Even if ten or twenty Sixth-grade Martial Artists attacked together, it would be difficult for them to restrain a Seventh-grade Martial Artist.
Let alone injure one.
There was even a high chance that they would be killed in return by the Seventh-grade Martial Artist!
That was the terror of martial artists above Seventh-grade.
"Meteor Fist!"
Seeing that Lin Mo refused to clash with him and had such bizarre movement, Lu Chen furiously unleashed Meteor Fist.
He wanted to use a wide-area attack to restrict Lin Mo's movements.
However, the advantage of Lin Mo's Beginner Movement Technique revealed itself at that moment.
As if he could predict the attacks, Lin Mo accurately dodged them every single time.
That footwork drove Lu Chen even more mad.
Could this kid's Movement Technique already be at the Beginner level?
The thought rose unbidden.
But Lu Chen refused to believe it.
If it was really as he suspected, then wasn't Lin Mo far too monstrous?
At eighteen, he had not only reached blood vitality above Fourth-grade, but his combat strength also rivaled that of Peak Fifth Rank or higher.
He had completed Skin Refining and Bone Refining as well.
He even possessed a Lightning Ability more powerful than Lu Chen's.
On top of that, the kid's martial skill seemed to be Mystery Grade.
And his realm was even higher than Lu Chen's after ten years of bitter cultivation.
And now, you were telling him that this kid also possessed a Beginner Movement Technique?
Kid, are you trying to defy the heavens?
But no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, the facts were right before his eyes.
No matter how Lu Chen attacked, this kid could slip away like a loach. It was enough to infuriate anyone to death!
What angered him even more was that the kid had now run into the battlefield between his subordinates and those instructors.
Lin Mo could not suppress the current Lu Chen, but against Lu Chen's subordinates, he still had more than enough strength, even if they had all taken drugs.
Thus, Lu Chen watched helplessly as Lin Mo knocked down several of his subordinates in rapid succession, two punches each.
Those subordinates immediately fell into chaos!
They had been fighting perfectly well, beating those instructors until they could barely endure it and were even on the verge of death.
But the moment Lin Mo arrived, everything fell apart!
They had not entered the Bone Refining realm, nor did they possess Mystery Grade martial skills, much less a powerful Lightning Ability.
Even after taking drugs, they were no match for two of Lin Mo's punches.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Watching his subordinates fall one after another—
Yet whenever he charged over, Lin Mo would immediately dodge away, never clashing with him head-on. Lu Chen had been driven completely mad!
At this rate, what the hell was there left to play?
