Chapter 586: Furious Thunder Decision!

In the next second, a fierce light flashed in Lei Chen Zhou's eyes.

Lei Chen Zhou no longer hesitated, and shouted at his subordinates: "All of you, attack! Kill Lin Yuan, but keep Su Monong alive!"

"Kill!" As Lei Chen Zhou gave the order, the bandit underlings surrounding them howled like hungry wolves and rushed forward.

The bandits wielded their fine steel short blades, flashing cold light from all directions as they lunged at Lin Yuan, their assault so dense it left almost no blind spot.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he felt no fear at all.

He flipped his wrist violently, and dozens of silver needles as fine as cowhair instantly appeared in his palm.

Immediately after, Lin Yuan thrust his arm forward with force and shouted lowly: "Get lost!"

A sky-full of silver needles poured down like a violent rainstorm.

The silver needles whistled sharply as they shot precisely at the group of bandits charging ahead.

Ah!

My arm!

My eyes!!

Ugh!

On the scene, miserable cries rose and fell one after another.

The bandits struck by the silver needles either had their knees pierced and stumbled to the ground, or had their shoulders pierced, losing strength and dropping their weapons.

Worse, some were hit in the eyes, causing blood to spray directly from both eyes!

In just a brief moment, the dozen or so bandits at the front were all blasted away.

The bandits lay on the ground, wailing nonstop.

The encirclement instantly formed a gap.

Seeing his subordinates so utterly unable to withstand a single blow, Lei Chen Zhou's face instantly turned ashen.

Lei Chen Zhou's eyes were filled with rage and humiliation.

He knew that, under these circumstances, this bunch of useless lackeys could not possibly stop Lin Yuan.

Lei Chen Zhou shouted angrily: "A bunch of worthless trash!!"

Before his words even faded, Lei Chen Zhou's figure leapt violently.

He shot forward like a cannonball leaving the barrel……straight toward Lin Yuan!

The Crown Prince of the Thunder Tiger Sect, Lei Chen Zhou……personally entered the fray to fight!

The moment Lei Chen Zhou pushed off with his feet, the gravel on the ground trembled and scattered in all directions!

Lei Chen Zhou's aura suddenly surged, his arms slightly spread and his fists clenched tightly.

"Lin Yuan, die!" Lei Chen Zhou bellowed, his fist accompanied by a howling wind!

This is none other than the Thunder Tiger Sect's secret art—the Thunder Tiger Fist!

Lei Chen Zhou's fist, wrapped in a strong killing intent, shot straight toward Lin Yuan's face!

This punch was massive and heavy!

Lin Yuan's pupils constricted slightly!

Only saw Lin Yuan lightly tap his foot, his body instantly shifting like a ghost……sliding half a foot to the left!

Lin Yuan's footwork was nimble and ethereal, like a mountain specter, perfectly dodging Lei Chen Zhou's seemingly unstoppable punch.

Boom!

Lei Chen Zhou's fist……heavily smashed into the mine cave stone wall where Lin Yuan had just stood!

With a deep, muffled boom, the stone wall instantly cratered with a fist-sized depression, chips flying everywhere!!

One can see how terrifying the power of Lei Chen Zhou's punch is!

Seeing his punch miss, Lei Chen Zhou's heart jolted!

Lei Chen Zhou was about to retract his fist and attack again, but discovered Lin Yuan had already used the momentum of his dodge……to close in!

Lin Yuan's eyes were icy cold; he precisely locked onto the position of Lei Chen Zhou's right ribs.

Lei Chen Zhou's fist was so powerful that it created a fleeting opening in his lower ribs!

Lin Yuan seized that opening and instantly threw a punch!

Lin Yuan's fist hammered hard toward Lei Chen Zhou's right ribs!

One punch!

Bang!! Crack!!

A solid thud rang out, followed immediately by the sound of breaking bones spreading through the air!

Pfft……! Lei Chen Zhou had no time to guard, and was squarely smacked in the right ribs by that punch.

Intense pain instantly swept through his body, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood!

Lei Chen Zhou's body lurched uncontrollably two steps to the right!

He could clearly feel that another rib on his right side had been snapped cleanly!

The broken bone ends stabbed the surrounding muscles with waves of excruciating pain……

Lei Chen Zhou's face turned deathly pale, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

After gaining the upper hand, Lin Yuan gave Lei Chen Zhou no chance to catch his breath.

Lin Yuan's footwork shifted again, his lightness technique pushed to the extreme!

His figure darted around Lei Chen Zhou at high speed! ~

Lin Yuan's attacks, however, remained focused……concentrating on the old injury of Lei Chen Zhou's right ribs.

Facing such a top-tier martial artist as Lei Chen Zhou, Lin Yuan abandoned using silver needles and instead threw punches directly!

Because silver needles are Lin Yuan's sole trump card.

Before he had absolute certainty of killing Lei Chen Zhou, Lin Yuan did not want his Silver Needle technique routine to be known by Lei Chen Zhou.

Each time he employs the Silver Needle, Lin Yuan's Silver Needle technique routine becomes known to Lei Chen Zhou one level deeper.

So Lin Yuan simply decided not to reveal the Silver Needle, and directly used melee combat!

Every punch Lin Yuan threw was precise and vicious, either striking the core of the old wound or attacking the weak spots around it!

Forcing Lei Chen Zhou to only clumsily block, he was utterly unable to organize any effective counterattack!

"Bang!" Lin Yuan's another punch struck Lei Chen Zhou's ribs!

Lei Chen Zhou's complexion grew increasingly pallid, and blood from his mouth spurted out mouthful after mouthful.

Su Monong was shielded by Lin Yuan at his back,

She sensed the dense hostility all around, and Su Monong's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She instinctively hid in a corner.

She lifted her gaze to the broad back before her; though she felt fear, that back brought her a measure of reassurance.

Lei Chen Zhou, under Lin Yuan's focused assault on his old wound, kept vomiting blood!

Lei Chen Zhou's complexion turned as pale as paper!

The fury in Lei Chen Zhou's heart had already shattered his reason.

He knew…… that relying solely on ordinary means, he was no match for Lin Yuan.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Lei Chen Zhou's eyes, and his gaze swept over the remaining followers!

He gave his subordinates an order!

Around them, the group of subordinates saw the Young Master's gaze and instantly understood his meaning.

Around them, the bandits of the Thunder Tiger Sect immediately shifted their target.

This group of bandits detoured around the area where they confronted Lin Yuan.

They used the stone pillars and side passages of the mine cave for cover, crouching low…… and silently flanked toward Su Monong behind Lin Yuan.

In their view, Lin Yuan was currently focused on suppressing Lei Chen Zhou, making it the perfect opportunity for a successful sneak attack.

But their tiny movements could not escape Lin Yuan's perception.

Lin Yuan's peripheral vision had already taken in all of this.

Lin Yuan's mouth corner…… curled into a chilling arc.

Lin Yuan didn't even turn his head; he suddenly exerted force with his feet!

Lin Yuan's right leg was like a steel whip infused with a thousand jin of force!

Lin Yuan's right leg swept out, carrying a howling gust, executing Sweep Away Thousand Troops!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A series of dull impact sounds echoed continuously in the mine cave!

Those bandits who had just gotten behind Lin Yuan but hadn't yet reached Su Monong were solidly swept by that leg!

The bandits' bodies tumbled backward like broken kites!

The bandits' bodies slammed heavily against the hard rock wall of the mine cave, emitting a dull boom!

A group of bandits spat blood and fainted on the spot.

After dealing with the ambushing subordinates, Lin Yuan remained unmoving, still steadily shielding Su Monong behind him.

The violent aura emanating from him made the remaining scattered enemies dare not act rashly.

Just now, Lin Yuan did not use the Silver Needle at all……

But the combat power he displayed now was also enough to shock the entire audience.

Under the stimulation of the Yanluo Pagoda, Lin Yuan's physical strength and speed had already risen to a frenzied level.

Even bare-handed, he at this moment…… remains an invincible existence!

"Lin Yuan…… you, seek death!" Lei Chen Zhou saw his subordinates' sneak attack fail, and was then wiped out by Lin Yuan's one kick.

Lei Chen Zhou's chest was filled with intertwining fury and humiliation, his rage surging to the heavens!

Lei Chen Zhou endured the excruciating pain in his right rib, ignoring his injury…… and once again charged madly toward Lin Yuan!

Lei Chen Zhou clenched his fists, wildly bombarding! He attempted a final struggle.

Lin Yuan's gaze was indifferent; he slightly shifted his body and easily evaded the attack!

At the same time, Lin Yuan's right fist suddenly condensed immense strength, like a cannonball…… and smashed fiercely toward Lei Chen Zhou's jaw!

"Crack——!"

A clear, piercing bone‑crack sound…… permeated the mine cave!

Lei Chen Zhou's jawbone…… was directly shattered by Lin Yuan's punch!

"Ugh…… pfft!" Lei Chen Zhou let out a miserable howl, a large mouthful of blood mixed with several shattered teeth spraying out!

Lei Chen Zhou's body uncontrollably toppled backward!

The blood at the corner of his mouth dripped down like a broken string of beads, staining the clothing on his chest.

Lin Yuan gave Lei Chen Zhou no chance to catch his breath, his form rushing forward as his fists pounded like a violent storm!

Lei Chen Zhou's jaw shattered, making it impossible to organize an effective defense; he could only passively endure the attacks!

He raised both arms before his chest, attempting to block.

"Bang bang bang!" Lin Yuan's wild punches came crashing in!

Lei Chen Zhou could not defend at all; his wounds kept increasing, and his qi and blood surged incessantly!

His blood kept spraying out, and he was completely plunged into a hopeless, outmatched situation!

"Boom!" Lei Chen Zhou's entire body was blasted away!

Lei Chen Zhou collapsed onto the ground several meters away, blood seeping from his body and staining the ground beneath him……

"Lin Yuan...... it's you, forcing me!" Lei Chen Zhou gritted his teeth, blood in his mouth, and said through gritted teeth.

Lei Chen Zhou was beaten until his whole body was covered in wounds, the despair in his heart... gave birth to ultimate madness!

Lei Chen Zhou let out a fierce roar, a flash of resolute ruthlessness crossing his eyes, "My Thunder Tiger Gate secret technique—I have never displayed it before outsiders! Today, even if I damage my yang lifespan, I will make you die without a burial place!"

As his words fell, Lei Chen Zhou suddenly rolled up to his feet!

The next second, Lei Chen Zhou fiercely struck his own chest with both fists—this is him activating the Thunder Tiger Gate martial arts potential secret technique!

"My father founded the Thunder Tiger Gate; back then, relying on this Furious Thunder Method, he swept across Changnan City! He swept across the entire province! Now, for you to die under the Furious Thunder Method is your honor!"

Lei Chen Zhou's voice low, he gritted his teeth and said!

At this moment, his entire body's strength and internal energy surged madly!

This is a secret technique that can instantly stimulate the body's potential, allowing strength and speed to surge in a short time, but the cost is extremely heavy.

Each activation of the Furious Thunder Technique costs at least five years of lifespan!

Afterwards, it will also be accompanied by aftereffects such as damaged meridians and regressed muscle strength.

But at this moment, Lei Chen Zhou is at the end of his rope, in order to survive, in order to take down Lin Yuan...

Lei Chen Zhou, has now gone all out!

As Lei Chen Zhou activated his body's potential!

Lei Chen Zhou's veins all over his body suddenly bulged, like vicious green snakes coiling around his body surface!

His originally pale skin took on a layer of eerie dark red.

A surge of violent aura, several times stronger than before, burst forth from within him!

Lei Chen Zhou's breathing became even lower.

Lei Chen Zhou's entire body was also bleeding from the seven orifices!

Moreover, his skin oozed out eerie bright blood.

The damage cost of Lei Chen Zhou's potential activation is greater than that of Lin Yuan's Yanluo Pagoda!

But Lei Chen Zhou's strength and speed have already undergone a qualitative increase!
