Chapter 104: Battle in the Fog

Chen Ling couldn't help but gulp.

The blurred shadow that had darted out from Zhao Yi's shadow earlier was simply too fast. Chen Ling didn't even clearly see what it was before blowing it to smithereens with a single shot... Carefully scrutinizing these monsters now, there was actually an inexplicable sense of festivity.

It was like fragrant Thanksgiving turkeys walking off the dining table and bouncing towards him, only each of these turkeys was over two meters tall.

Are Calamities that crawled out from the Gray World... all this fragrant?

【Audience Expectation Value +8】

Chen Ling thought about it again and felt something was wrong. According to Zhao Yi's description earlier, that thing in the factory was a centipede. How did it turn into broiler chickens after hatching from eggs?

But right now was no longer the time to carefully think about this matter. Those robust broiler chickens were approaching him. From their bodies, Chen Ling could feel a faint sense of oppression... These broiler chickens were at least at the First-Tier standard.

"One, two, three... six, seven, eight... Eight of them?"

If nothing unexpected happened, currently all the Calamities on Frost Street had been attracted by him.

"These... how are these monsters so disgusting?" The middle-aged woman quietly crept to the windowsill. Seeing the scene in the middle of the street, her face grew even paler. "Can Chen Ling win?"

Boss Xu's face was also somewhat ugly. After all, Chen Ling had only just been Promoted to Enforcer. Facing so many monsters in one breath, no matter how you looked at it, he was the disadvantaged party... But he also didn't know why, he just felt that Chen Ling was even more difficult to provoke than these monsters.

Similar worries also appeared in the hearts of other Frost Street residents. Peering through the windows, they nervously watched the battlefield in the fog, their hearts almost jumping out of their chests.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Ling, wearing the black windbreaker, moved. He slowly raised his Dagger...

And stabbed it into his own abdomen with a backhand!

Everyone: ???

【Audience Expectation Value +5】

After stabbing one knife, Chen Ling still felt it wasn't enough. With backhand motions, he stabbed another knife into his lower abdomen and between his ribs. The blade of the Dagger turned completely red. Before this battle had even broken out, he had already entered an injured state.

Scarlet blood surged out from the knife wounds, dyeing the clothes under his windbreaker the color of blood. The corners of Chen Ling's mouth curled up slightly...

These three stabs did not bring him any sense of pain; instead, there was an inexplicable numbness... He could feel a continuous stream of power bursting from within his body, and his five senses were several times sharper than usual. At this moment, those eight figures rushing towards him rapidly seemed to have slowed down.

Was this the 【Blood Robe】...

Chen Ling's self-mutilating actions and eerie smile fell into the eyes of the crowd on Frost Street, making their minds go completely blank.

They had never seen anyone stab themselves first before a fight... Those three stabs, each pierced deeper than the last. If it were an Ordinary Person, they would probably have turned pale from the pain already, but Chen Ling not only showed no trace of pain, but instead revealed a kind of joy.

This scene looked incredibly bizarre at first glance, but happening to Chen Ling, it seemed very reasonable and logical. After all, that was an existence who ate human hearts raw.

Was this some kind of evil ritual before a battle? Or was it Sacrificing to some kind of evil existence?

The crowd suddenly felt that compared to Chen Ling at this moment, those scary-looking Shadow Centipedes didn't seem that terrifying anymore...

The eight Shadow Centipedes abruptly stirred the Dense Fog, rushing to the blood-covered Chen Ling at an astonishing speed. The crowd only felt their vision blur, and that blood shadow abruptly crashed out, kicking the leading centipede into the Dense Fog!

Chen Ling's speed was too fast, like a high-speed train. The moment his foot kicked onto the Shadow Centipede's body, terrifying power almost crushed and deformed the latter, sending it flying backwards tens of meters with a whistling sound!

The cold gleam of the Dagger spun in Chen Ling's palm, backhanding to block a centipede lunging over to bite. Densely packed long legs grabbed at Chen Ling's body, but were dodged by his flashing figure.

He raised his gun, the muzzle locking onto the squirming dark red hole on the black head, and continuously pulled the trigger!

Bang bang bang—!

Three bullets shot out, piercing through the centipede's head. It twisted and curled up in place for a moment, then remained motionless.

Chen Ling knew there were many people watching him, so it wasn't good to use the 【Tribunal】 and 【Formless】 again. Fortunately, the 【Slaughter Dance】 didn't have such high recognizability. Even if he used it, these Ordinary Persons might not understand it. So he only relied on it and the 【Blood Robe】 for frenzied close-quarters combat.

Chen Ling turned to look at those three broiler chickens charging over simultaneously. His figure rushed forward without any defense. Sharp claws and beaks pierced into his body, instantly leaving densely packed bloody holes... locking his entire person in place.

The hearts of the observing Frost Street residents skipped a beat.

They saw Chen Ling, pierced through by the long legs of the three Shadow Centipedes, let out a sneer. Forcibly enduring the injuries, he thrust the Dagger through the head of one centipede, backhanded the gun barrel into the mouth of another centipede and pulled the trigger. Two centipede corpses fell to the ground on the spot.

"A few broiler chickens... also want to kill me??"

Chen Ling grabbed the broiler chicken that had pierced him with his bare hands, grabbing the head with one hand and a leg with the other. The terrifying power brought by the 【Blood Robe】 forcefully lifted it into mid-air, then little by little tore and stretched it... The broiler chicken squirmed madly, but with a roar from Chen Ling, it was still torn in half by his hands!

Foul-smelling blood and internal organs splattered onto the earth. The blood-covered Chen Ling looked down at the remaining half of the large chicken leg in his hand. Suddenly, he had an urge he couldn't resist to take a bite...

He gulped, and held back.

He didn't like eating raw food.

Chen Ling casually tossed the half-corpse aside. Looking coldly at the remaining three broiler chickens, his figure swayed and transformed into a blood shadow, rushing out once more!

In the fog-shrouded street, the dead silence was broken only by the sound of flesh and blood tearing. All the residents hiding behind windows and peeking felt their stomachs churning violently at this moment, their faces unspeakably ugly...

"Blegh!"

Boss Xu's wife finally couldn't hold back anymore, got up, rushed to the toilet, and threw up on the spot.

Chen Ling's battle was truly too bloody, especially that scene of tearing the centipede with his bare hands just now. The crowd just watched as that ferocious centipede was torn into two pieces, internal organs falling all over the ground... Most importantly, Chen Ling was finally still hugging that centipede head in his arms, looking like he was extremely intoxicated.

【Audience Expectation Value +7】

Perhaps feeling that using a Dagger and gun wasn't satisfying enough, Chen Ling completely abandoned his weapons and began to slaughter bare-handed. That bloodstained black windbreaker fluttered in the Dense Fog. At the same time, the sharp hissing of the Shadow Centipedes rang out consecutively.
