Evolving infinitely from ground zero - Chapter 260
Chapter 260: 176. Face high-level powerhouses with an ordinary physique
“Buzz!”
A deafening whoosh blasted through the air.
Lu Tianrong, who had been on the ground just a moment ago, rushed in front of the masked man in the next.
“Die!”
Lu Tianrong drew his large machete, coated with a great deal of Blood Qi Power, and fiercely chopped at the masked man.
The masked man swiftly dodged backward, easily evading the blow.
At the same time, he waved both hands, commanding a mass of vines to surge toward Lu Tianrong.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Lu Tianrong didn’t dodge or flinch, hacking through the oncoming vines as he relentlessly pursued the masked man in front of him.
He wasn’t sure if he could kill the masked man.
Therefore, the urgent task at hand was to launch the fiercest offensive to force the masked man out of the tree cage.
As long as he could get away from the tree cage, the masked man would lose control over the vines inside it.
Without the disturbance of the vines, the chances of the special training students escaping would greatly increase.
All they needed to do was join forces to take down the remaining female in the mask, the Sect Hierarch from the mission, and they could escape to safety.
“Is this your level?”
The masked man taunted with contempt in his eyes, “Such a slow attack doesn’t affect my ability to multitask at all. I can control the vines to attack those special training students below while easily dodging your incoming machete.”
Hearing this, Lu Tianrong grew anxious.
He immediately unleashed more Blood Qi Power, quickening his strikes.
Still, he couldn’t reach the masked man.
The disadvantage of fighting on foreign terrain was too great.
Countless vines kept surging forward, greatly interfering with Lu Tianrong to the extent that he couldn’t attack the masked man protected by the vines.
“I’m going all in!”
Lu Tianrong steeled his heart, risking potential mutation as he activated the Exotic Beast Gene within him even further.
The next second, his eyes filled with blood, his body hair grew more profuse, his muscles became even stronger, and the aura emanating from him was filled with violence.
“Die!”
Lu Tianrong roared wildly, the power and speed of his machete increasing instantly as he fiercely cleaved at the masked man’s neck.
The masked man sensed the terror of this strike and didn’t dare to meet it head-on with the vines, opting to evade sharply and retreat quickly.
His first blow missing, Lu Tianrong continued to swing his machete.
Each strike was stronger than the last.
The masked man, who had been dodging with ease, now could hardly adjust his direction of evasion and had to retreat wildly.
In just a few short seconds, he looked about to be driven out of the tree cage.
…
Below.
Lin Zichen and the others were under attack by the vines.
Luo Yongjian, who had transformed into a birdman after activating his Exotic Beast Gene, had both wings broken by the vines.
Zhang Kai, with his body of steel, had one of his powerful mechanical legs torn off by the vines.
“Buzz!”
A fierce sound of air friction arose.
In an instant, a thick vine whipped viciously toward Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan tried to dodge, but the vine’s lash was too fast; she simply couldn’t evade it.
Fortunately, Lin Zichen was right beside her, and he promptly punched the vine, shattering the tough vine, comparable to B-grade alloy, into pieces.
“Zi Chen, save me!”
Luo Yongjian was wrapped up by the vines and shot high into the air, calling for help from Lin Zichen in a panic.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen instantly sprang up, reaching above Luo Yongjian at great speed and chopping the entwining vines with a hand sword.
Luo Yongjian fell from several meters high, almost swelling his rear upon landing, crying out in pain.
“Lin Zichen, save, save me…”
Suddenly, a weak cry came from behind.
Lin Zichen turned to look and saw Ma Xiwei wrapped up by the vines.
The vines bound her like fetish gear, accentuating her shapely figure thoroughly, making her face turn red and involuntarily stick out her tongue.
“Don’t panic, I’m coming!”
Li Moyu rushed over first, swinging his hefty spiked club to smash the vine hanging above Ma Xiwei’s head.
However, the vine proved far stronger than he had imagined.
It couldn’t be smashed through.
In the end, it was Lin Zichen who flashed forward, chopping a hand sword in front of Ma Xiwei and easily slicing the vine above her head in two.
“Thank you.”
Ma Xiwei looked at Lin Zichen, covering her neck that had just been constricted by the vine and said breathlessly.
Lin Zichen merely “Hmm”ed and swiftly left again to rescue others.
Li Moyu stood in place, seeing how Lin Zichen could easily sever the vines with his hands, then thinking about how his own swings of the spiked club couldn’t break them, a sense of powerlessness quickly filled his heart.
He considered himself a top genius.
But at that moment, in front of Lin Zichen, he felt like a mere elementary school student, the disparity in combat power was so vast.
However, seeing the others also struggling to break the vines, being just as ineffective as he was, he felt somewhat consoled.
“Zi Chen, save me!”
“Zi Chen, save me too!”
“Ah! Save me!”
Lin Zichen was frantically saving others, while people were desperately calling for help.
There were too many being attacked by the vines; with only him rescuing, he was starting to feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Just when he felt overwhelmed,
suddenly, the surrounding vines fell limply one after another, ceasing their attacks.
Looking up, he saw that Lu Tianrong had forced the masked man controlling the vines out of the tree cage.
Perhaps it was due to the distance being too far, causing the masked man to lose control over the vines.
“Everyone, run!”
Lin Zichen didn’t dwell on the reasons and immediately shouted to everyone.
He then rushed to Shen Qinghan’s side, picked her up, and carried her on his shoulder, speeding towards an opening ahead.
