Chapter 129: Lin Chen vs. Lei Hu 4

Lei Hu's deep blue flame axe slashed down. Lin Chen barely managed to dodge to the side, the blade grazing his ribs,

completely splitting his already tattered jacket in two; the fragments scattered in the wind and snow. He fell heavily onto the ice, a new wound deep enough to reveal bone added to his chest,

the blood gushing out freezing instantly on his skin. His clothes were long since torn, shredded, and frozen through; his pants were ripped at the knees, revealing flesh, his shoes were reduced to mere soles, and his soles were covered in bloody lacerations from ice shards. He was in a wretched state, like a discarded rag doll.

Lei Hu pressed forward step by step, swinging the giant axe down again. Lin Chen rolled to dodge, but his ear was caught by the wind of the axe,

and his left ear, along with shards of ice, fell to the ground. Intense pain instantly swept through his entire body. He gritted his teeth, trying to crawl up, but the voice of the blackened Lin Chen echoed in his mind,

full of mockery: "Are you a piece of trash? You can't even beat an opponent with this little skill!"

"Dodging back and forth like a dog—do you still have the face to be a leader?"

"You've lost an ear and you're still holding on? Do you want to die here?"

"You can't even protect yourself; weren't you quite impressive when you saved Xia Nuan back then?"

"You have abilities and weapons in your hands, yet you're being chased and beaten—you're a complete joke!"

"Your wounds are bleeding and you don't know how to stop the bleeding? You're shivering from the cold and don't know how to condense cold Qi? Is your brain filled with ice shards?"

"Lei Hu's weakness is so obvious, yet you can't even land an attack—are you blind?"

"Where's the momentum you had when you confronted the survivors earlier? Why are you acting like a shrinking turtle now?"

"You can't even stand up after one slash—with this little ability, you dare to challenge others?"

"Xia Nuan is still waiting for you at the villa. If you die, what will happen to her? Do you want her to be bullied by Lei Hu?"

"You can't even protect yourself, yet you talk about guarding the base? You're a fraud!"

"Lei Hu's lava armor has a cooldown time; you haven't even noticed this—are you stupid?"

"Every time you fall, you don't know how to summarize the lesson—your life will just be like this!"

"Is the Purple Lightning Purification Gun in your hand just for show? Can't you aim before you fire?"

"The ice shell on your body can block attacks, yet you don't know how to use it actively—are you an idiot?"

"Lei Hu has a pause after swinging his giant axe; can't you seize the gap to counterattack?"

"If it hurts, scream it out! Don't hold on like a coward!"

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to possess the Absolute Zero ability at all!"

"If I had known you were such trash, I shouldn't have let you control the body in the first place!"

"If this continues, both you and Xia Nuan will die. Are you content with that?"

"Trash! Trash! Trash! You are a piece of trash through and through!"

Lin Chen was so enraged by the insults that his blood surged. Enduring the intense pain, he retorted: "I am not trash! I just haven't found the opportunity yet!"

"What do you know? I am observing his moves!"

"I am not dodging; I am looking for the timing to counterattack!"

"So what if I lost an ear? I can still fight!"

"Xia Nuan will be fine; I will definitely protect her!"

"I know his weakness; I just haven't found the chance to attack!"

"I am not stupid; I am just adjusting my state!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to fight; this is my body!"

"I won't let Lei Hu succeed, and the base won't be snatched away by him either!"

"I can hold on; this little injury is nothing!"

"I know his armor has a cooldown; I am waiting!"

"I am summarizing the lessons; I won't fall again next time!"

"I will use the Purple Lightning Purification Gun; I just need to aim!"

"I know the ice shell can block attacks; I am looking for a chance to use it!"

"I will seize his pause; don't rush me!"

"I don't scream in pain because I can endure it!"

"I deserve to possess the ability; I understand how to use it better than you!"

"This is my body; you're the one who should get out!"

"I won't die, and Xia Nuan won't be in trouble either!"

"I am not trash; you are!"

The man and the consciousness argued in his mind, but Lei Hu had already attacked again. Lin Chen couldn't dodge in time,

and was struck on the shoulder by the giant axe. He flew out and slammed into a broken wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The blackened Lin Chen's voice suddenly rose: "Enough! I will take control of this body!" Lin Chen's consciousness was instantly suppressed, his eyes turning cold, and a dark red light flashed in the depths of his pupils.

The blackened Lin Chen stood up, leaning against the wall, flexed his wrists, and sneered at Lei Hu: "Now, it's my turn." He mobilized the Absolute Zero ability, condensing ice spikes thicker than before in his palms, and shot them toward Lei Hu. Lei Hu swung his axe to block, and the ice spikes shattered into ice shards. The blackened Lin Chen, however, didn't panic; he released ice spikes continuously while circling to Lei Hu's side, attempting to attack the connection point of the axe handle.

But Lei Hu's lava armor suddenly erupted with a strong light, and the deep blue flames instantly melted the ice spikes.

He swung his axe in a sweep. The blackened Lin Chen barely dodged, but his arm was still scorched by the flames, and his clothes instantly caught fire. He extinguished the flames, a sense of shock rising in his heart for the first time—he was actually unable to beat Lei Hu?

Before he could react, Lei Hu's giant axe had already slashed down again, this time directly hitting his chest.

The blackened Lin Chen's pupils shrank, blood instantly spraying out and splashing onto the ice, staining a large patch of snow red. He staggered backward, his body swaying precariously.

Xia Nuan's crying suddenly came from afar. She had arrived at the plaza, and seeing Lin Chen's state,

she ran over like a madwoman: "Lin Chen! How are you? Don't scare me!" She threw herself beside Lin Chen,

holding his arm, her tears falling like broken beads onto his frozen wounds, melting a thin layer of ice.

Lei Hu watched this scene with cold eyes, raised his giant axe, and swung it at Xia Nuan: "Obstacles, die together!" The giant axe, carrying flames, accurately struck Xia Nuan's carotid artery and cervical spine. Xia Nuan's crying stopped abruptly, her body falling softly, and blood gushed from her neck, quickly freezing into red ice crystals on the ice. ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
