Purple Saber Fairy understood that this was most probably his only chance at escaping as the plasma saber flickered in his hand, "Escape? Or maybe …" Images of his futile attempts at penetrating the enemy"s defense flooded his mind, rendering escape as his only option.
However, he might not actually outrun these apostles if it came down to a foot race.
"No wonder they dared to put the battle with me on hold. They must be treating me as some sort of easy prey." This thought alone caused his temple to throb with rage.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen could hardly stand on his feet as he continued to vomit non-stop. The two apostles approached him from the flanks, surrounding him with a searing flame on the left and the blistering cold on the right. This attack should take Lin Chen down for good.
However, Lin Chen"s right arm started reaching towards his black bag at this moment as he continued to shake violently.
Following his actions, time started to slow down as everyone"s actions grew slower and slower.
Lin Chen could see the flame and gush of cold win approaching him in slow motion. It was so slow that he could even make out the flickering of the embers as well as the frost materializing from thin air.
However, Lin Chen was unaffected by the change in time as he appeared next to the two apostles in the blink of an eye. He had already torn the black bag apart, revealing a long sword coated in metal with electrical wires running along its length.
This was the weapon cat king of the north had specially designed for Lin Chen in an attempt to compensate for his lack of offensive power - high frequency vibrating sword. The rapid vibration of the molecules within the sword would cause any material it came into contact with to age swiftly, allowing the sword to cut through it effortlessly. This powerful strength was also condensed into a tiny frame, making it a highly portable weapon.
Theoretically, even the strongest materials such as diamond or graphene would falter against it. Lin Chen"s power was the perfect fit for this weapon, bringing out its full potential.
Lin Chen continued observing these two absurd apostles moving in slow-motion before he sliced his sword against the night sky. Immediately, their diamond armor was shredded to pieces, revealing their skin which had been torn apart as blood trickled down from the wound. A bloodbath was imminent.
With Lin Chen"s quickness, he had already moved on to his next target before the first drop of blood even emerged from the wound. With one giant leap, he found himself next to the three fire apostles.
Bam!
When time resumed to its normal speed, their diamond armors had already vaporized into the air as their bodies collapsed into a puddle of blood.
The apostle standing by Sonia also fell to the ground with his diamond armor shredded to pieces.
Purple Sabre Fair, Old Cat, Meng Lao, Sonia and Li Tian stared wide-eyed at this unreliable turn of events.
They still could not wrap their heads around what had just happened. Lin Chen"s body suddenly bolted forward as a gust of strong wind swept across the place, tearing their amours to pieces. Those c.o.c.ky p.r.i.c.ks who were acting so smugly a moment ago were already lying motionlessly on the ground.
Sonia was left speechless, "The world of superpower is truly frightening. I feel so weak and powerless against them. I must resume the life of an ordinary human when I leave this place."
Li Tian, who stood by her side, had already lost his original composure as he looked towards Lin Chen with his brows tightly knitted together.
Actually, everyone had the same expression on their face. Everyone"s eyes were on Lin Chen as he strolled confidently towards Old Cat before coming to a sudden halt. He threw his chest forward before another wave of vomit gushed out from his mouth.
The girl who came along Lin Chen asked, "Are you sure you are okay?"
Lin Chen shook his hand before waving his hands in the air, "I"m alright. It"s just that … ahhh … I moved a little too quickly just now." Despite the relentless vomiting, his hands began reaching towards his word.
Old Cat noticed this and shouted immediately, "Calm down! We give up! We give up!"
Old Cat"s response caught Lin Chen by surprise. He never expected a surrender to come so easily.
At the same time, Meng Lao had already loosened the s.h.i.+elds attached to his body. It seemed like they were serious about the surrender. Old Cat continued speaking, "Young fella, do not do anything rash. We have already given up. No blood has to be shed between any of us. We can sit down and discuss verbally without our fists. If woman and money are what you seek, I am more than willing to help satisfy your needs …"
For some reason, Old Cat"s words did not manage to appease Lin Chen at all. Instead, he began to quiver with frustration as his annoyance flared.
Suddenly, Lin Chen noticed a flash of purple plasma sabers whizzing past him. He responded by taking a step forward before slamming them into the ground.
"What the h.e.l.l are you trying to do?" Lin Chen roared with his eyes fixed on Purple Sabre Fairy.
However, Purple Sabre Fairy was completely indifferent to Lin Chen"s words as he continued staring viciously at Old Cat, "Shut … your … mouth…" Three plasma sabers appeared behind him with their sharp edges pointing straight at Old Cat.
Old Cat responded with a grin and answered, "Hey, you don"t get too excited as well. There is always room for discussion in whatever we do. Come, let"s sit down and talk …"
On the other end, Zhao Yao stared into the distance as he observed two figures free-falling from the sky. This perplexing scene caused his forehead to furrowed slightly as he muttered, "Why are other apostles joining in the fun?"
Black Panther was bursting with excitement as he continued to jump up and down before shouting, "Someone is falling from the sky! I"ve never seen anyone fall to death! Should we go and take a look?"
Zhao Yao weighed the situation before him and decided to prioritize the missions on hand. The amazing scene unfurled as Zhao Yao led an entourage of more than 200 people on the streets as they made their way out of the district. With all the apostles embroiled in the battle, none of the remaining villagers dared to stop them. They were simply hiding in their homes as fear clawed through their heads.
"Do not go out! That guy is crazy!"
"Yea! I heard he even stabbed Uncle Zhao! Who would even kill such a nice person?"
"I heard even Tiger fell victim to him. This man is responsible for the ma.s.sacre."
"I heard many more died in the hands of this evil man. So much innocent blood is shed because of him! I"ve already contacted the police, we shall just buy time till they come."
"Look, Black Panther is following him."
"That sycophant! I heard he was the one who thrust the knife into Uncle Zhao"s chest."
Even though the villages were whispering, their words were crystal clear in Zhao Yao"s ears because of "Four is better than three". Each word rang in his head like a blaring ringtone. This nonsense was getting on Zhao Yao"s nerves as his mouth began to twitch with raging anger.
Suddenly, he c.o.c.ked his head towards Black Panther which caused him to freeze with fear, "Master, what"s the matter?"
Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before explaining, "Do not return once you set foot out of this place. Bring your mother along as well."
"Why?" Black Panther could not understand his purpose of saying all these, "Also, my mom has left three years ago …"
Zhao Yao asked, "Where did she go?"
"One day, she started complaining about this throbbing headache before she went to a neighboring hospital to get it checked out. The X-ray revealed a tumor in her head. Our family had zero means of paying for the surgery and my mum decided to solve the problem by killing herself. All she left was a piece of letter."
Zhao Yao"s pupils dilated as he fought back his tears. He took a deep breath before saying, "I"m sorry for bringing this up."
"It"s nothing!" Black Panther shattered the momentary silence with a cackle. He began shouting at the top of his voice, "Thank G.o.d I met you, master! Thanks for bringing me out on this big project! Once I save my first pot of gold, I will construct a road in this district and name it Black Panther Street. I"m sure my mum will be proud to see it in heaven!"
Sorrow closed up Zhao Yao"s throat as soreness tore at his chest when he heard those words.
At the same time, they had already reached the entrance to the district.
The fleeting sorrow dissipated as Zhao Yao watched the ma.s.ses walked through the gates. Every one of them represented a completed mission which meant heaps of experience points.
Suddenly, a blast of explosion erupted from afar.
Zhao Yao strained his eyes and noticed Sonia and Li Tian das.h.i.+ng towards the entrance. It seemed like something was chasing after them.
Sonia had also noticed Zhao Yao but had no intentions to stop at all. She continued running at top speed but whispered into Zhao Yao"s ears when she sped past him, "Run!"
