Chapter 288: Chapter 0288: S-Class Genetically Enhanced Human_1
"Gahahah! You dare to resist? You’re practically begging to die! Go! Chop them to pieces for me," the masked leader sneered.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The numerous masked men shouted madly as they pounced like wolves, their cleaving knives raised high as they viciously chopped forward. The murderous aura soared into the sky, their momentum overwhelming.
Even Zhang Bin broke out in a cold sweat, worrying the two couldn’t withstand the onslaught, as they had no weapons. How could they possibly defend against such sharp cleaving knives with their bare hands? However, he didn’t make a move and just watched from behind. His Special Ability was already poised, ready to save the two at the most critical moment.
"Get lost, or you’ll all die!" Chen Chaoyue roared angrily, grabbed Ma Rufei by the neck, and used him as a weapon, swinging him wildly as he charged forward at high speed.
Zhang Bin was stunned. Could Ma Rufei really be impervious to swords and spears?
In an instant, the two sides clashed.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The numerous shiny cleaving knives chopped down hard on Ma Rufei’s body, but all they produced was the sound of metal striking metal. They didn’t harm him in the slightest, though naturally, his clothes and pants were shredded.
Almost simultaneously, the attackers felt a tremendous recoil. The webbing between their thumbs and forefingers split open, gushing blood, and the knives in their hands were jolted into the air. Before they could retreat, Chen Chaoyue, like a mad tiger, ferociously smashed Ma Rufei onto them.
"Aaargh!"
They were sent flying like scarecrows, spitting mists of blood. Some suffered broken arms, others fractured sternums. It was clear that Chen Chaoyue’s strength was terrifying. As expected of an A-level Strength Superpower User, he was equivalent to a Cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm. If he wielded two large hammers, he would be a modern-day Li Yuanba.
Ma Rufei’s Defensive Ability was also remarkably impressive, rendering him impervious to blades and guns. Obviously, these two were a perfect pair and had fought together like this many times before. This, however, was unknown to Zhang Bin.
"Kill!"
Chen Chaoyue became even more ferocious, swinging Ma Rufei so fast he created gusts of wind, frantically attacking the masked men who were still standing. The men were shocked, but they were also cunning. They immediately dispersed, some leaping onto the walls and others rapidly retreating. They began to employ hit-and-run tactics, hoping to exhaust their opponents’ Special Abilities. Once depleted, the pair would be like tigers without teeth.
"Charge!" Chen Chaoyue shouted with a sinister laugh, continuing to swing Ma Rufei as he fought his way toward the alley’s exit.
Zhang Bin followed behind them with a smile, his mood much improved. He never knew his two companions were so powerful.
Someone jumped down from the wall to attack Zhang Bin, but a look of terror suddenly contorted their face. A terrifying surge of hidden energy struck them, launching their body more than ten meters into the air before they plummeted to the ground. They were immediately turned into a bloody figure, rapidly spitting out a mist of blood as it gushed from newly opened wounds. This was the terror of the Air Control Special Ability: the power to attack enemies from a distance.
"Holy shit, Master, what kind of impressive martial skill is that? It’s so powerful?" Ma Rufei, being whipped around with impressive force by Chen Chaoyue, was utterly shocked. All he saw was Zhang Bin wave his hand, and the masked men were sent tumbling to the ground one by one.
Of course, Zhang Bin was deliberately putting on a show—partly for effect and partly to prevent anyone from suspecting that he, too, possessed a Special Ability.
Soon, they had fought their way out of the alley. Suddenly, however, a large truck rammed toward them with menacing momentum, intent on killing all three.
"Retreat!"
The trio were no fools and retreated back into the alley almost simultaneously.
BANG!
The truck slammed violently into the alley wall, collapsing a section of it amidst a cloud of smoke and flying debris. All three of them broke out in a cold sweat. If they had been a moment slower, their fate would have been tragic.
"You won’t escape. You’ll all die right here."
From amidst the rising smoke, an icy voice sounded out. A tall masked man appeared like a specter, his eyes shooting out beams of freezing light. A tremendous aura rose from his body as he stared at the three of them as if they were already dead.
"Not good. He seems to be an S-level Superpower User, and an offensive type at that," Chen Chaoyue said, his face turning ashen as large beads of sweat formed on his forehead. S-level Superpower Users were extremely powerful, comparable to Liquid Stage Cultivators. He knew that Zhang Bin’s Flying Sword had been confiscated, meaning his combat prowess was only invincible within the Qi Sea Realm, no match for an S-level Superpower User. They were doomed today.
"Hahaha... I am not a Superpower User," the masked man said with a sinister laugh.
"You... you’re a Genetically Enhanced Human?" Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei were even more terrified, their limbs trembling uncontrollably. Genetically Enhanced Humans were more fearsome than Superpower Users. They were known to be hot-tempered, bloodthirsty, savage, and relentless.
"That’s right. Transfer the money now, or I’ll tear you to shreds immediately," the masked man said, his body exuding a ferocious aura.
"Kill!" Chen Chaoyue shouted boldly and charged forward, aiming a full-powered punch at the man’s nose. He didn’t dare use Ma Rufei as a weapon anymore; this opponent was too powerful and might break through Ma Rufei’s defenses.
"Get lost!" the Genetically Enhanced Human roared with a vicious laugh as his own fist hammered out.
In an instant, the two fists, one large and one small, collided.
BANG!
The sound was as piercing as a tire blowout.
"Aaargh!"
Chen Chaoyue let out a painful scream. His wrist bones shattered, and he was sent flying backward, spraying a mist of blood from his mouth. Yet the Genetically Enhanced Human hadn’t moved a single step back. He was terrifyingly formidable.
Ma Rufei quickly opened his arms to catch Chen Chaoyue, and the two rolled across the ground together.
Zhang Bin paid them no mind; as long as they weren’t dead, he could save them. All his attention was now focused on the mighty Genetically Enhanced Human before him. He was unwilling to use his Flying Sword and reveal his true strength. Besides, he wanted to test just how far his own power had progressed.
At his Realm, the need for elixirs to break through was mainly due to a lack of experience in bloody battles. If one fought against strong opponents constantly over a long period, one could break through to the Liquid State without elixirs. Therefore, what Zhang Bin truly lacked was bloody, life-or-death combat.
"Kill!"
Zhang Bin suddenly burst into action, transforming into a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Genetically Enhanced Human, throwing a savage punch toward the man’s chest
