Chapter 788: Slay the Demon!

At this moment, he had long since lost the neat appearance he had when first seen.

His custom-made dark suit was completely ruined, the fabric torn to shreds, in tatters.

From head to toe, he was thoroughly soaked and dyed red by scalding blood, layers of dark and light blood staining overlapping.

Dried blood crusts clung to tiny flesh fragments and dust, firmly embedded in the fabric's weave, making the original color indistinguishable.

Lin Yuan's black genuine leather boots on his feet had long been completely wrapped in thick, viscous blood.

The soles, uppers, and seams of the boots were filled with congealed and still-wet crimson blood stains, heavy and sticky, soaked in blood.

Each time he lifted his foot to step onto the stairs, the viscous blood would be squeezed and torn open.

Fine blood droplets splattered wildly, leaving bloody footprints on the clean stairs, step by step treading blood, inch by inch staining red.

Ten minutes of uninterrupted, high-intensity life-and-death combat completely drained more than half of Lin Yuan's stamina.

Lin Yuan's breathing became heavy and disordered, his chest heaving violently, each breath accompanied by a dull, sweetish pain from deep in his throat.

His limbs' muscles continued to exert beyond their limit, already sore, swollen, stiff, and slightly trembling; his vision occasionally blurred briefly from overexertion.

Countless wounds all over his body continued to ooze blood; blood loss and excruciating pain ^^ constantly devoured his strength and mental stamina.

The sense of fatigue wrapped and pressed upon his body like waves, making each step upward require several times the effort.

Even though Lin Yuan's flesh had long been at its limit, his will remained as firm as a rock, without the slightest slack.

He raised his hand, his large hand covered in blood and with whitened knuckles lifting slightly, his gaze locked firmly on the watch face on his wrist.

The jumping numbers on the screen were clear and glaring.

From the first-floor lobby he forcefully broke through, all the way bloodily battling and crushing, breaking through the layered encirclements on each of the fourteen floors, shattering the human sea blockades of hundreds of people, he did it in just a short ten minutes.

Ten minutes, drenched in blood over a thousand li, corpses littering the stairs.

He was well aware that his stamina had long been on the verge of exhaustion, his injuries already beyond what ordinary people could endure, and if he continued high-intensity fighting, he could collapse from power loss at any moment.

But just thinking of Qin Bore, alone and besieged in the top-floor suite, struggling to hold on, and of the lethal danger she might face at any moment……

Lin Yuan's deep-seated fatigue…… was instantly overwhelmed by the surging anxiety and determination.

Not enough.

Still far from fast enough.

He must increase his speed, break through his limits, expend all remaining strength, and rush to the top floor at maximum speed to break the final blockade and personally rescue Qin Bore from peril.

The bloody smell in the corridor was so thick it couldn't dissipate, the sticky blood plasma covering every step.

Stepping on it produced a creaking, wet, slippery sound.

With each step he took, fine blood droplets would spray and roll down along the stair seams.

Lin Yuan's eyes were cold without a hint of warmth, only a stubborn, scorching resolve to rescue remained; after ten layers of blood-soaked battle, his gaze remained sharp as a blade, showing no fear whatsoever.

The entire stairway from the first to the fourteenth floor was layered with the corpses and mutilated remains of thugs.

broken weapons, deformed iron rods, and bloodstained blades scattered across the ground.

The wounded who had not yet died curled up in pools of blood, their rising and falling wails, the dull thuds of breaking bones, and the lingering shouts of combat intertwining, echoing throughout the entire hotel.

His suit all over was completely soaked in blood, dark-red blood forming layers of scabs that were then washed away by fresh blood, from head to toe he looked like an Asura crawling out of a blood hell.

Even though his stamina was on the verge of exhaustion, his body was covered in wounds.

Lin Yuan's figure remained tall and straight like a pine, each motion of his steps upward carrying an overbearing force that crushed everything.

At this moment, the hidden trump card of the "Priest," known to very few, was fully revealed—a terrifying strength capable of single-handedly sweeping aside hundreds of elites.

……

Inside the top-floor Presidential Suite, Du Jie, who was overseeing command, through the corridor surveillance…… personally witnessed this whole bloody slaughter.

Watching his painstakingly layered defenses…… being torn apart, crushed, and trampled flat by a single person.

Du Jie was both shocked and furious, his chest ablaze with raging anger.

He simply couldn't believe that a man bearing a gunshot wound, fighting alone, could actually carve his way from the first floor through the fourteenth, crushing hundreds of his elite thugs.

Lin Yuan's combat prowess had long surpassed ordinary comprehension.

After the extreme fear came utter madness.

Du Jie violently smashed the monitor beside him, issuing a death order with a fierce, tyrannical roar that echoed throughout the floor.

"Everyone retreat to the top floor! All assassins, all personnel gather outside the Presidential Suite! Set up a death formation, lay a death net!"

"I will shred this Lin Yuan scum into ten thousand pieces, chop him into mincemeat! Leave no living mouth!"

Orders cascaded down, all remaining elite assassins in the hotel madly rushed to gather, all converging on the top-floor corridor of the fourteenth floor.

A dense throng spread out, forming an airtight heavenly net and earthly trap, solely to hold the final line of defense and cut down Lin Yuan.

At the same time, Lin Yuan finally stepped upon the blood-soaked ground, step by step ascending to the fourteenth-floor platform.

Ten consecutive minutes of extreme blood battle had already squeezed his flesh to the limit.

Lin Yuan's left shoulder…… several deep wounds down to the bone, flesh turned outward, blood continuously seeping,

His arms' crisscrossing lacerations…… covered the entire skin, flesh rolled up, pain piercing to the bone.

Lin Yuan's chest…… having been kicked by several burly men, a large area of bruising and blood clotting firmly entrenched, each breath tugging at the chest cavity bones, bringing a tearing-like dull ache,

Lin Yuan's throat surged with a sweet, bloody taste; a thread of bright red blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth, hanging there, shocking to behold.

His limbs' muscles were sore, swollen, and stiff, his stamina completely exhausted, his legs often trembling, the dizziness from blood loss continually striking his mind, his vision intermittently blurring.

But when he lifted his gaze and saw the sea of people on the stairs,

All his fatigue, intense pain, and dizziness were forcibly suppressed.

In his eyes there was no retreat, no fear, from beginning to end only a single pure thought remained—to save people.

The top-floor corridor was long and narrow, yet at this moment it was completely filled with a oppressively dark crowd.

Countless black-clad assassins were layered in formation, front and back encircling, left and right flanking, a dense mass of shadows blocking the light of the entire corridor.

The chilling gleam of blades and staffs…… flashed with a sinister cold light under the illumination.

The ultimate killing intent spread across heaven and earth, sweeping in and tightly surrounding Lin Yuan, alone, in the center of the corridor.

Facing a sea of elite fighters several times larger than before, Lin Yuan showed no hesitation.

Lin Yuan leaned his body slightly forward, steadied his center of gravity, and his blood-soaked figure suddenly burst forward!

"Kill!!!"

Countless henchmen simultaneously burst out with earth-shaking roars, the howls shaking the corridor air! @

Everyone, fearless of death, wielded weapons and madly flanked from all directions!

Blades chopped, clubs smashed—every move deadly, wildly bombarding Lin Yuan's vital spots!

They intended to instantly surround and crush this Blood-Soaked Killing God.

At the moment the sea of people crushed forward, Lin Yuan's right hand suddenly twitched, and the silver needles hidden at his fingertips shot out in succession!

Threads of icy light pierced the air, precisely locking onto the foreheads, throats, and heart vital points of the vanguard henchmen!

The needles emerged silently; each strike took a life.

Dozens of elite fighters at the front instantly stiffened and fell, unable to utter a single scream before dying outright, collapsing straight into the blood pool.

Lin Yuan's hand technique was extremely swift; raising his hand and dropping the needles flowed like clouds and water!

All 108 stored silver needles poured out, none missing their mark!

Every silver needle took a life!

In just a few seconds, the front ranks collapsed in a heap, corpses piling up in the center of the corridor.

But he had no time to bend and retrieve the silver needles, as wave after wave of assassins surged forward, trampling over their companions' corpses!

Another wave of the human sea offensive came crushing down again!

Dense and endless, it completely sealed off all his breathing space.

Lin Yuan had completely lost the aid of his silver needles, and Lin Yuan showed no retreat at all! \

tHe faced the sea of people covering heaven and earth, directly and ferociously killing into the center of the crowd.

At this moment, he abandoned all weapons, relying entirely on his flesh for a hard fight.

Lin Yuan, hardened by constant life-and-death battles, unleashed his hard-core fighting technique to the fullest!

He had no flashy moves; every punch and kick aimed to shatter bones and kill the enemy—overbearing and rigid, every strike deadly.

The two burly men at the front raised steel pipes and smashed them head-on, the fierce wind howling straight at his face.

Lin Yuan's blood-stepping foot flashed, his body lunged low to the ground, and as his waist twisted, his right fist, bearing all his remaining brute strength, exploded forward!

With a booming thud, Lin Yuan's fist solidly struck the left henchman's face.

The crisp sound of a shattering nasal bone pierced the air and exploded!

That henchman's entire face instantly caved in and deformed, blood mixed with shattered teeth spraying wildly, his whole body flying like a severed sack, several meters straight, slamming heavily into the corridor wall, collapsing in the blood pool, unable to move again.

At the same time, sidestepping, Lin Yuan's left leg swept high, a fierce leg wind sweeping away thousands of troops, precisely striking the side of the neck of another club-wielding henchman.

With a crack, the sound of a dislocated cervical vertebra rang out!,

That henchman didn't even have time to let out a pain groan before his body stiffened, eyes rolled back, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Henchesmen continuously surged from both sides, blades and clubs descending together!

The dense assault sealed off all dodging space.

Lin Yuan's fists pounded in rotation, his arm muscles tensed and exploded, each punch carrying the tremendous force to shatter flesh and blood, leaving no close-range opponent unscathed.

Someone had his chest cavity shattered by a punch, ribs broken and piercing the flesh;

Someone had his knee shattered by a heavy kick, legs bent deformed;

Someone had his jaw shattered by a close-range elbow strike, blood spraying across his face.,

In the narrow corridor, the sounds of breaking bones, bodies colliding, and mournful wails layered upon each other, the stench of blood rising wave after wave.

The sea of people came endless, wave after wave piling up!

Countless weapons simultaneously greeted him from all sides, giving him no gap to dodge or catch his breath.

Just as Lin Yuan side-stepped and shook off the few before him, a desperate henchman on the right seized the opening, raised a mountain-splitting cleaver, and, shielded by the crowd, fiercely brought it down!

A flash of cold light, the sharp blade bearing tremendous force, viciously slashed into Lin Yuan's left shoulder, already covered in wounds!

Pfft!

Lin Yuan's clothing was instantly torn, the sharp blade embedding directly into his flesh!

The full five centimeters of the blade sank deep into Lin Yuan's shoulder muscle, the wound everted, flesh exploding, a gruesome injury instantly formed.

Hot blood spurted wildly from the wound, instantly dyeing half of Lin Yuan's shoulder red, dripping down his arm and splashing into the blood pool at his feet.

Heart-piercing agony instantly pierced Lin Yuan's entire body!

The flesh around his wound was tightly gripped by the blade!

Every slight movement of Lin Yuan felt as if countless steel needles were repeatedly tearing his fascia.

Had it been an ordinary person, such a deep, bone-revealing injury would have already left him paralyzed and combat-ineffective.

But Lin Yuan's bodily will far surpassed that of ordinary people; the excruciating pain not only failed to crush him, it utterly ignited the ferocity in his bones.

Facing the henchman who still wanted to draw his blade and strike again, Lin Yuan's eyes turned blood-red and savage, he did not dodge or retreat.

Lin Yuan's left hand shot out, his five fingers clenched tightly around the cold blade exposed outside his body!

The razor-sharp blade instantly split Lin Yuan's palm flesh, cutting deep into the hand's tissue!

Numerous tiny blood openings burst open instantly, blood flowing freely along the blade, instantly soaking Lin Yuan's entire palm! @

Between his fingers, flesh was blurred and bloody, the pain piercing to the bone.

Lin Yuan clenched the cleaver with all his might, letting the blade cut through his palm and gnaw his flesh, refusing to loosen even a bit, he stubbornly locked down the opponent's attack.

The next second, Lin Yuan's chest swelled violently!

All his remaining strength gathered in his shoulders and arms, neck veins bulging and twisting, killing intent overflowing from his eyes, a deep angry roar exploded, shaking the corridor!

Ugh!!

The roar stunned the surrounding crowd into a standstill; immediately afterward, he suddenly exerted force with both arms, simultaneously and violently straining against each other, brutally pulling apart!

Crack——!!

The crisp and violent metal-shattering sound suddenly exploded!

The hard alloy steel forged mountain-splitting chopping blade could not withstand Lin Yuan's extreme physical brute force, being torn barehanded from the middle of the blade!

The broken half of the blade remained embedded in his left shoulder's flesh, while the remaining blade was tightly gripped in his blood-soaked palm!

At this moment, blood-soaked Lin Yuan stood in the midst of the crowd, ferocious as an utterly unleashed purgatory slaughter god, intimidating the entire arena!

Before the axe-wielding thug could recover from his shock, Lin Yuan swiftly turned his wrist, gripping the sharp half of the broken blade, and with the inertia of his turn, fiercely stabbed backhand!

A cold light flashed through the air; the damaged blade tip, carrying a chilling killing intent, fiercely pierced the opponent's exposed neck side with pinpoint accuracy.

Pfft——!!

The muffled sound of the blade piercing flesh was excruciatingly sharp; the sharp blade directly ruptured the carotid artery, sinking deep into the gap between the neck bones.

Scorching hot blood instantly burst forth like a high-pressure geyser, scarlet droplets spraying everywhere, dyeing the collars and faces of several nearby thugs crimson.

The thug's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, extreme fear and suffocation instantly enveloping his whole body!

He instinctively clutched his neck's fatal wound with both hands, blood madly gushing between his fingers, utterly unable to staunch the ruptured vessels.

From his throat came a hoarse, air-leaking groan; his whole body convulsed violently, his legs instantly went limp, and his body uncontrollably staggered back several steps in terror.

But behind him was a sea of people, leaving him no space to retreat.

In just two seconds, his massive body collapsed heavily into the pool of blood; before he could struggle to rise, wave after wave of thugs trampled over him, utterly submerged by the surging crowd, completely silenced.

Lin Yuan's gaze was indifferent, not even glancing at the corpse beneath his feet, gripping the half-blade, his steps unceasing as he ferociously assaulted the crowd closing in!
