Chapter 388

"Thump, thump!!"

Lin Qi held his spear in one hand, adjusting his breathing, his heart still beating violently.

He pumped blood to the depths of his entire body, using every second to recover his stamina.

Li Zehao, who was charging at the front, looked at Lin Qi not far away, his whole person becoming excited.

"Lin Qi, go to hell!"

He brandished the silver great spear in his hand, and his skin began to take on a cyan hue, like a mantis.

Like a car stepping on the gas, he accelerated again, exploding outward; his speed was a notch faster, like a gust of wind.

Beside him, Yu Jing also manifested cyan skin, his speed erupting as he brandished a blue spear, charging at the front.

The others also had skin of different colors emerging; some had bulging muscles, exuding a rigid aura, their skin glowing with a golden light.

Others' skin instantly turned pitch-black; they were already burly, and now they possessed a heavy aura.

Lin Qi's gaze sharpened.

"Zerg-modified martial artists?"

"You actually joined the 【Insect God Sect】?"

Li Zehao sneered:

"What's wrong with that? I feel stronger than ever before."

"I only know that you are going to die!"

With that, he brandished his silver great spear and unleashed the "Star-Gleam Spear Art," thrusting out like the trajectory of a falling meteor.

Lin Qi shook his head; this group's state was not right.

However, their intent was clear: they had come to kill him.

He released a dazzling golden light from his body once more, unleashing his special ability, 【Golden Sharpness】.

The black-gold great spear in his hand suddenly tore through space as he swung it.

"Clang!!"

Lin Qi and Li Zehao collided instantly.

A strong force was transmitted through the spear into Lin Qi's body.

This... strength!

Lin Qi was startled; he could feel a tyrannical force and power suddenly impacting his body.

Li Zehao and Yu Jing were the top geniuses below the SS-level geniuses.

Now they were all at the Fourth Realm Bone-Refining stage.

But their current strength far exceeded the level possible for the Fourth Realm.

"Tap, tap!!"

Li Zehao was sent flying; his face was slashed by the golden sharpness, and blood spilled out.

Instead, he revealed a triumphant smile:

"It seems we really do have the strength to contend with you."

"An SS-level genius is nothing more than this!"

He was exceptionally excited; he now possessed Sixth Realm combat power.

"Whoosh!!"

Yu Jing's blue spear also thrust over; his state was the same as Li Zehao's, with cyan skin and incredibly fast speed.

"Clang, clang!!"

Lin Qi brandished his great spear, easily blocking their attacks while retreating backward.

At the same time, several figures surrounded Lin Qi.

Lin Qi's super-strong spiritual power spread out, and ten formidable figures appeared in his perception.

His brain operated at high speed.

There were ten people in total, all here to kill him; among them, the strongest were Li Zehao and Yu Jing, who were top-tier geniuses themselves.

Now that they had become Zerg-modified martial artists, their physical fitness had improved significantly, and they actually had the strength to contend with him.

Especially their skin.

Lin Qi felt that when he collided with Li Zehao and Yu Jing just now, his force had been severely obstructed.

Especially their skin, which could actually neutralize his golden sharpness.

Coupled with their combat suits and defensive vests, the damage he caused...

"Finish him!"

Li Zehao spoke, and the others also moved.

He roared, moving like a cyan star traversing the grass.

The silver great spear in his hand radiated a cold gleam.

"Clang, clang!!"

Lin Qi sensed danger and unleashed the "Rainbow Transformation Spear Art."

His posture was light, his body like a golden rainbow, and he swung his great spear to block.

As the spears collided, the metal weapons sparked brilliantly.

Li Zehao was repelled, and Yu Jing filled the gap; meanwhile, he was completely sealed off from all directions by the others.

They locked off all his space for evasion; they were all top-tier geniuses, even more terrifying than disaster beasts.

Lin Qi also felt the strain; just now, he had been slashed on the body, and if not for the golden sharpness, the force would have penetrated his combat suit and struck his body.

He let out a muffled grunt and used his body technique to dodge.

Weapons clashed continuously, and ten figures besieged Lin Qi from different directions.

Meanwhile, Liu Ran, who was observing from the shadows, was a bit worried:

"Will he be alright?"

Xue Zhou shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching; nothing will happen."

"Lin Qi's equipment is clearly better, and he hasn't even released his minor divine ability yet!"

"However, I have to admit, the Zerg's genetic agents are indeed powerful."

"After taking them, one's physical fitness can be significantly improved."

"A Fourth Realm practitioner can actually possess physical fitness close to the Sixth Realm, and their skin can also mutate, effectively resisting attacks from special abilities."

"If we could crack this technology, perhaps the overall quality of our humans could also be significantly improved."

Liu Ran and the man nodded; they had long coveted some of the Zerg's technologies, but the difficulty of cracking them was extremely high.

Xue Zhou watched Lin Qi, who was retreating step by step, and sighed inwardly; being besieged by ten people and still being able to hold on for so long was already very impressive.

But being besieged by ten people, the difficulty wasn't a 1+1 addition; to break it, one either had to crush them with powerful physical fitness or crush them with martial arts techniques and body techniques. Clearly, the current Lin Qi did not possess these conditions, and he had consumed a large amount of stamina earlier to kill the Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear.

He gripped his own battle blade; he was less than a hundred meters away, and for him, 0.1 meters would be enough to strike and kill all ten of them.

"Clang, clang!!"

"Die!!"

Li Zehao became exceptionally manic, and the speed at which he unleashed his spear technique grew faster and faster.

The others attacked with him, and the sky was filled with spear shadows, blade shadows, and sword shadows, shrouding Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi, you're dead!"

"I'm going to avenge my uncle; a country bumpkin like you should have died long ago!"

In Li Zehao's heart, Lin Qi was destined to be a dead man, and his emotions reached their peak.

Beside him, Yu Jing felt a bit strange, but it soon vanished; he also had to kill Lin Qi, so he could become the head of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

!

"Block!!"

Amidst the flying sparks, Lin Qi's expression remained calm; even though he sensed danger, his heart remained tranquil.

Listening to Li Zehao's words, his heart also had a ripple.

He said coldly: "It's time to end this!"

The next instant, his aura surged, and the golden light became even more dazzling.

Minor divine ability 【First Layer · Golden Gangjin Transformation】 activated!

"Boom!!"

His chest became scorching hot, his entire body was ignited as if burning fiercely, and the power from deep within his body surged forth.

His muscles bulged, and golden patterns emerged as his blood flowed faster; every organ in his body was stimulated, and their functions were significantly enhanced.

His physical fitness improved significantly, and along with it, his special ability 【Golden Sharpness】 also became stronger.

Lin Qi's eyes bloomed with golden light, and power surged endlessly within him.

"Buzz, buzz!!"

The Tiger-Slaying Great Spear in his hand was wrapped in golden sharpness, emitting a humming sound.

Facing the attacks slashing down from different directions, in Lin Qi's senses, everything around him slowed down.

He gripped the Tiger-Slaying Great Spear with both hands, using his waist as an axis, and injected a terrifying force of over 30,000 kilograms into the spear, sweeping it out suddenly.

It was as if a great mountain was moving along with him, towering and immovable, a heavy mountain crashing down.

"Mountain-Shaking Spear Art," Mountain-Shaking Artistic Conception erupted!

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

In an instant, the Tiger-Slaying Great Spear traced a perfect circular arc in the air, colliding with several weapons.

Accompanied by several heavy sounds, the air exploded, forces clashed, and a majestic force storm formed around them, with white air waves spreading outward.

The skin on several people's faces was slashed by the sharp edge, and blood spurted wildly.

At the same time, their expressions changed drastically because their weapons had snapped; sharp battle blades broke into two, long swords snapped, and spearheads separated from the shafts.

"How is this possible...?"

Li Zehao and Yu Jing were shocked, holding the spear shafts without heads.

They were using Fourth Stage weapons, yet they had been broken; what terrifying strength this was.

But the next instant, the terrifying force traveled along the spear shaft into their bodies.

The terrifying force and power combined into one; that was a more exquisite method of control.

Yu Zhuoran had learned it for a year before mastering it, but for him, one month was enough.

It significantly increased the power of the move, instantly piercing through Li Zehao's defense.

"Bang!!"

The Fourth Stage combat suit on his body was instantly torn by the sharpness, and his cyan skin couldn't resist the force.

"Crack, crack!!"

His bones fractured, his muscles were torn, and his internal organs were shattered; he couldn't help but open his mouth to spray blood and fragments of internal organs.

"Bang!!"

His body slammed into a tree with a diameter of one meter, snapping the tree in half; whether he was alive or dead was unknown.

The others were even more miserable; they had their hearts shattered by the terrifying force in an instant, dying in one strike.

Only Yu Jing and Li Zehao were slightly better off; their physical talents and fitness were stronger, and although they were severely wounded, they barely survived.

"How is this possible...?"

Yu Jing had recovered by now, and he lay on the ground covered in blood.

Looking at Lin Qi walking over, he didn't know why things had turned out like this.

He guessed that there was something wrong with the agent given by the 【Insect God Sect】.

"Lin Qi... I'm innocent, I was controlled?"

"You can't kill me, I'm also a human..."

He opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

Lin Qi said with a cold expression:

"Haven't you taken the Martial Path General Knowledge course? When you see a Zerg-modified martial artist, you kill them without mercy, no matter who they are?"

"Pfft~"

His Tiger-Slaying Great Spear pierced Yu Jing's heart, shredding it until he completely lost his life.

Then he came before Li Zehao.

"Spare... my life!"

Li Zehao lay on the ground, unable to move, his mouth full of blood; tears streamed down his face as he begged for mercy.

"I said, I would settle the score with you!"

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he thrust the Tiger-Slaying Great Spear without mercy; the spear tip flashed with a cold light, and killing intent surged.

"Pfft~"

The great spear pierced Li Zehao's chest, shredding his heart until he widened his eyes and completely lost his life.

Lin Qi looked around, confirming that everyone was dead before finishing.
