The Red Blood Gang had other minor leaders like the bald-headed man, who were also at the Second Rank Initial Stage and had awakened a Superpower.
He had often sparred with them, and their matches were always evenly matched—neither could gain the upper hand. This was nothing like facing his current enemy, who was beating him so badly he couldn’t even fight back.
RUMBLE...
Brilliant flashes of silver-white lightning, like coiling dragons, darted through the ink-black clouds.
Deafening peals of thunder echoed one after another, as if warning people to quickly find shelter from the imminent downpour.
Hearing the thunder, however, only made Lin Li want to finish off his opponent and leave even faster.
Huh?!!!
The bald-headed man was puzzled. ’We’re at the same cultivation level, so why is he so much stronger than me?’
Suddenly, he saw a faint golden Spiritual Light appear on his opponent’s hand, followed by a Cyan Wind Blade materializing within it. The sight made the bald-headed man cry out in alarm.
"A second Superpower? This guy actually awakened two Superpowers? Impossible!!!"
Hearing his opponent’s cry, Lin Li replied, "It’s just two Superpowers. Nothing to get worked up about. Now, you can die in peace."
Before the words were even out of his mouth, the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade that had formed in his hand shot out.
SWOOSH.
The razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade tore through the air with a piercing shriek, flying toward the stunned bald-headed man.
’It’s too fast! I can’t dodge!’ Seeing the Cyan Wind Blade speeding toward him, the bald-headed man made a split-second decision. He immediately raised the Spiritual Artifact Dagger in his hand and slashed forward.
BOOM.
The Spiritual Artifact Dagger, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, struck the razor-sharp Cyan Wind Blade, causing an instant, massive explosion.
AARGH...
When the Cyan Wind Blade shattered, the resulting blast of wind spread out in all directions like a spray of tiny knives.
Bearing the brunt of the impact, the bald-headed man’s skin was immediately shredded by the gale. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was covered in countless cuts, fine as hairs.
With a pained cry, the bald-headed man’s injured right hand could no longer grip the Spiritual Artifact Dagger, and he let it go.
CLANG.
The Spiritual Artifact Dagger fell onto the bluestone-paved street, making a crisp, ringing sound.
With no one channeling Spiritual Energy into it, the faint golden Spiritual Light on the Spiritual Artifact Dagger’s surface gradually dimmed before vanishing completely.
Blood constantly seeped from the countless hair-fine wounds covering his body. Within seconds, his clothes were soaked through.
The stench of blood filled his nostrils, and waves of pain assaulted his mind. Fear spread rapidly through the heart of the bald-headed man, who hadn’t been injured like this in years.
’I’m going to die. I’m going to die at his hands...’
The bald-headed man had originally thought that since he was at the Second Rank Initial Stage, his opponent must be at the same level.
He’d believed that even if his enemy was stronger, he wouldn’t be strong enough to kill him. But seeing his opponent use a second Superpower—in a single blow, no less, that had gravely worsened his injuries—made him panic completely.
WHOOSH...
The wind by the riverbank grew stronger, making their clothes whip and snap.
Lin Li didn’t want to drag this fight out until the rain started.
Sensing that his Wind Blade had broken his opponent’s spirit, he immediately pressed his advantage. He rushed forward, preparing to finish him off with a flurry of attacks.
Seeing the overwhelmingly powerful enemy charge at him, the already panicked bald-headed man couldn’t think of a single way to counter.
Escape was impossible—his opponent was faster. As for fighting... a Cultivator who had awakened two Superpowers was simply not someone he could handle.
The shadow of death loomed over the bald-headed man. There was no more time to think. The terrifying enemy was already upon him.
Lin Li’s punch carried immense force. The panicked man instinctively raised an arm to block, but the impact snapped it instantly.
The pain from his shattered arm was excruciating.
Before the bald-headed man could even cry out, the next blow landed.
He tried to defend himself, but he couldn’t keep up with his enemy’s speed.
BAM, BAM, BAM...
In the blink of an eye, a flurry of fists, like raindrops in a storm, rained down on the bald-headed man.
AARGH...
A scream of agony rang out as a final uppercut landed squarely on the bald-headed man’s chin, shattering his jaw.
Teeth could be seen flying from his mouth as the tremendous force of the blow launched the bald-headed man’s body into the air.
THUD.
He rolled several times after hitting the ground, blood pouring from his mouth and nose. It was a ghastly sight.
STEP, STEP, STEP...
Footsteps approached. The bald-headed man, gravely injured from Lin Li’s fierce barrage, felt his consciousness fading.
He watched his enemy walk slowly toward him, overcome with regret for leading his men to seek revenge against this demon. Sobbing, he began to beg the terrifying man for mercy.
Perhaps it was because he had never begged anyone for mercy before, but the bald-headed man’s plea sounded more like a threat.
"Don’t kill me! I’m with the Red Blood Gang! If you kill me, our Gang Leader won’t let you go!"
