Chapter 96: An Angry Strike (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Roar~"

A brown shadow, like a phantom, dashed into the hotpot restaurant in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhen's eyes widened; he reached out to push Fang Huiyi away with force, holding the fire axe firmly in front of him.

"Bang!!"

A tyrannical force slammed into his body. A sharp pain shot through his back, and his entire body was thrown against the wall. Dust sprayed up, and the wall cracked like a spiderweb.

"Ah!!"

"Roar~"

A stench rushed toward his face. Focusing his eyes, he saw the opponent's sharp teeth biting into his left prosthetic arm. A tearing pain radiated from where the arm connected.

The opponent was a brown-yellow canine disaster beast with a body as powerful as a Tibetan Mastiff—a Mastiff-Tooth Hound.

It had a streamlined physique and dozens of sharp teeth in its mouth capable of biting through steel.

Its speed and strength were very balanced, unlike the clumsy Iron-Spike Wild Boar.

If it launched a surprise attack, an ordinary martial practitioner would find it hard to resist.

In an instant, Lin Zhen's eyes turned red.

His left arm had been bitten off by a Mastiff-Tooth Hound in the past; he never expected to be bitten by one again today.

"Go to hell!"

Lin Zhen struggled to break free from the prosthetic, channeling all the strength from his right arm and his entire body into the fire axe, hacking down violently at the Mastiff-Tooth Hound's neck like Mount Tai crushing down.

"Pfft~"

The fire axe severed the Mastiff-Tooth Hound's head completely, and fresh blood sprayed onto Lin Zhen's face.

"Hoo~"

Lin Zhen collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and offered a smile to Fang Huiyi, who was struggling to crawl up not far away.

"A-Zhen, you scared me to death!"

Fang Huiyi climbed up, preparing to walk over.

"It's alright now!" Lin Zhen comforted Fang Huiyi.

But the next instant, a massive black shadow shrouded half of Fang Huiyi's body.

Lin Zhen's expression changed drastically; his heart jumped to his throat.

"Huiyi, run!!!"

Lin Zhen roared with all his remaining strength!

He saw it—it was an Iron-Spike Wild Boar, its small, blood-red eyes looking at Fang Huiyi with a cruel smile.

"Boom!!"

The Iron-Spike Wild Boar lifted its thick hooves and kicked the ground hard to launch a charge, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Its curved tusks reflected a cold light.

Once hit, even a First Realm martial practitioner's internal organs would shatter, leaving no chance of survival.

Not to mention the physically weak Fang Huiyi; she was already hanging by a thread.

Fang Huiyi turned her head, looking in terror as the Iron-Spike Wild Boar launched its charge toward her.

Endless killing intent enveloped her; there was no escape.

She wanted to run, but found her body frozen in fear, unable to move.

The others in the back kitchen also lowered their heads, not daring to look.

Fang Huiyi stared blankly—was she going to die?

What a pity?!

She thought of Lin Qi!

At the same time, on the street, a blood-stained figure, a man holding a black-red great spear, heard the words "Huiyi" shouted by Lin Zhen.

He turned his head violently.

Then, he saw a scene that filled Lin Qi with despair.

The Iron-Spike Wild Boar was charging at his mother; once it hit, she would undoubtedly die.

And he was still twenty or thirty meters away.

"You're courting death!!"

Lin Qi roared, deafeningly; his eyes were splitting, his vision blood-red.

He was enraged!!

A fire seemed to be burning violently in his chest; the anger ignited his entire body, stimulating all his strength.

The three talents—Stomach Strengthening, Dragon-Spirit Tiger-Might, and Steel-Sinew Iron-Bone—erupted simultaneously.

Endless power surged continuously from his body, like a volcanic eruption, with magma gushing out.

He gripped the Thunder-Horn Great Spear in his hands, exerting force with a boom; his veins bulged, his tendons coiled like steel bars, and his blood flowed frantically.

Lin Qi lunged forward, exerting force from his arm, and threw the long spear in his hand with all his might.

"Dripping Water Spear Art" Third Killing Move—Flash of the Startled Swan!

"Swoosh~"

The great spear vanished instantly, piercing through the air and turning into a blurred light, just like a startled swan flashing past.

Just as the Iron-Spike Wild Boar was about to hit, at the most critical moment, a cold light flashed, and killing intent emerged.

The sharp spear tip pierced through the Iron-Spike Wild Boar's head at ultra-high speed!

"Heh-heh~"

The Iron-Spike Wild Boar let out a miserable shriek, its body suddenly crashing to the left, fresh blood flowing continuously from its skull.

Its limbs twitched for a few seconds, then finally, there was no more movement.

Fang Huiyi closed her eyes, as if she had accepted her fate.

Only when she heard the Iron-Spike Wild Boar's shriek and realized she was unharmed did she open her eyes.

She saw a black great spear piercing the Iron-Spike Wild Boar's skull, and a figure approaching rapidly from the distance.

It was a blood-stained figure, descending from the sky, with a majestic physique and blood-red eyes, like a god of slaughter descending. "Mom, are you okay!"

Xiao Qi!!

Seeing the person who had arrived, Fang Huiyi's pale face finally revealed a smile, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"I'm here!"

Lin Qi helped Fang Huiyi up.

He then saw his father, Lin Zhen, nearby and hurried over to help him up.

"Xiao Qi, you're here!"

"I didn't expect that in the end, I would still have to rely on you to save us!" Lin Zhen sighed weakly.

That spear strike just now was too stunning; he never expected it to be thrown by his own son—it was too astonishing.

He secretly calculated in his heart; he definitely couldn't have done it himself.

"Don't talk about that, Dad, are you alright?"

!

Lin Qi looked at Lin Zhen's bleeding left arm and the prosthetic limb that had fallen to the ground, crushed.

"I feel like the bone is cracked!"

Lin Zhen endured the pain and stood up with difficulty.

Lin Qi frowned; his father was injured so badly he couldn't run at all.

His brain raced, and he made a prompt decision: "Then we won't leave; we'll stay inside the hotpot restaurant."

"Just hold on until the rescue arrives!"

"A few minutes will be enough!"

"That's right!" Lin Zhen nodded.

"The city now has a satellite defense system, real-time monitoring; if a Space Gate descends, they will know within a very short time."

"With the martial practitioners from the three major Martial Path Mansions, they will definitely rush over to help in the shortest possible time."

Lin Qi nodded!

"Dad, Mom, you go into the back kitchen and hide."

Lin Qi carried his father, Lin Zhen, to the back kitchen; at this moment, several people were already hiding inside.

There were also two children shivering, accompanied by low sobs.

They looked at him with eyes full of fear and expectation.

"Big brother, do you think we can survive?"

A little girl with a dusty face and eyes red from crying asked timidly.

Lin Qi touched her head and smiled, saying:

"With me here, everyone will live!"

"Mm!!" The little girl nodded earnestly; for some reason, this big brother gave her a huge sense of security.

……

Leaving the back kitchen.

"Xiao Qi, can you handle it alone? After all, you are only a First Realm martial practitioner!" Lin Zhen asked worriedly.

Lin Qi grabbed the long spear from the Iron-Spike Wild Boar and said calmly:

"Dad, First Realm martial practitioner? I haven't been that for a long time!"

"Pfft!" 【103】 A burst of immense strength erupted, pulling the black great spear out of the Iron-Spike Wild Boar's body. 【104】 "Second Realm martial practitioner?!" Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi looked at each other, both shocked. 【105】 Just how strong was their son's talent to have broken through to the Second Realm so quickly? 【106】 Lin Qi shook off the blood and went to the entrance to observe. 【107】 "Heh-heh~" 【108】 The roars of disaster beasts, the sounds of objects colliding, and the movements of blades clashing came from the distance... 【109】 Most importantly, there were the screams and cries of people, which made one feel distressed. 【110】 The entire bustling Wanda Plaza had fallen into complete chaos. 【111】 "Awoo~" 【112】 A brown shadow launched a surprise attack from a corner behind him in an instant. Lin Qi's gaze sharpened; he held the great spear and exerted force from his waist. 【113】 He turned suddenly, exerting force from his arm, and the long spear formed a straight line, stabbing out in an instant. 【114】 Basic Spear Art—Horse-Turning Spear! 【115】 "Pfft~" 【116】 The sharp long spear stabbed out, cold light flickering; he stabbed exactly at the moment the opponent opened its mouth. 【117】 The long spear pierced through the opponent's throat, tearing through flesh and bone, crushing everything! 【118】 Fresh blood sprayed wildly; Lin Qi coldly swung the long spear, and the Mastiff-Tooth Tiger was flung away like a sandbag. 【119】 He was expressionless; as a Second Realm martial practitioner far exceeding ordinary people, a Level One disaster beast could not put pressure on him. 【120】 Moreover, when facing non-human creatures, i. e., disaster beasts, he could erupt with even greater strength. 【121】 Upon killing the Iron-Spike Wild Boar for the first time, he discovered that disaster beasts weren't that terrifying after all. 【122】 "Lin Lin Qi Ge!" 【123】 "Brother Lin Qi!!" 【124】 Suddenly, a voice reached his ears. 【125】 Lin Qi turned his head and saw two disheveled figures appearing in his line of sight. 【126】 "Taozi, A-Miao!" 【127】 …… 【128】 (End of Chapter)

With a burst of immense strength, he pulled the black great spear from the body of the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar.

"A Second Realm martial artist already?!" Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi exchanged a glance, both of them shocked.

Just how strong was their son's talent that he had broken through to the Second Realm so quickly?

Lin Qi shook off the blood and went to the doorway to observe.

"Hee-hee~"

From the distance came the roars of disaster beasts, the sounds of objects colliding, and the commotion of blades clashing...

Most distressing of all were the screams and cries of people, which were unbearable to hear.

The entire bustling Wanda Plaza had completely fallen into chaos.

"Awoo~"

A brown figure launched a sneak attack in an instant from a corner behind him. Lin Qi's gaze sharpened; holding the great spear, he exerted force from his waist.

With a sudden turn and force from his arms, the long spear formed a straight line and thrust out in an instant.

Basic Spear Art—Horse-Turning Thrust!

"Pfft~"

The sharp long spear thrust out, cold light flashing; it pierced exactly at the moment the opponent opened its mouth.

The long spear pierced through the opponent's throat, tearing through flesh and blood, crushing everything!

Fresh blood sprayed wildly. Lin Qi coldly swung the long spear, and the Mastiff-Toothed Tiger was flung away like a sandbag.

He remained expressionless; as a Second Realm martial artist far exceeding ordinary people, a Level One disaster beast could not bring him any pressure.

Moreover, when facing non-human creatures—that is, disaster beasts—he could unleash even greater strength.

Upon killing the Iron-Spiked Wild Boar for the first time, he had already discovered that disaster beasts were not actually that terrifying.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

"Brother Lin Qi!!"

Suddenly, a voice reached his ears.

Lin Qi turned his head to look, and two disheveled figures appeared in his line of sight.

"Taozi, Ah Miao!"
