Chapter 34: The Invincible Hunt
Chen Xiang threw away the submachine gun with its magazine emptied and drew two sharp military daggers from his waist.
Then a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face as he charged toward the beast horde on his own!
“Boom!”
The giant bear swung its massive paw, powerful enough to crush a car, and brought it down toward Chen Xiang’s head with unstoppable force!
However, the terrifying paw rebounded violently the instant it touched the golden shield, as if struck by an irresistible power. The giant bear itself was forced several steps backward, letting out a painful roar.
Chen Xiang seized the opening, his body shooting forward like a cannonball. The daggers in his hands turned into twin flashes of cold light, piercing precisely into the giant bear’s eyes!
Blood sprayed madly!
The giant bear let out an earth-shattering howl before its enormous body crashed to the ground.
Using the recoil from his strike, Chen Xiang flipped gracefully and landed right between two male lions.
He ignored their fangs sharp enough to bite through steel, allowing them to frantically tear at the golden shield surrounding him. Then, without haste, he thrust both daggers straight into their throats.
Chen Xiang was like a heavy tank in invincible mode, charging recklessly through the horde, slaughtering at will.
He savored the thrill of overwhelming destruction, the helpless cries of those ferocious beasts that he had once only seen on television.
At the edge of the battlefield stood Lin Lan. Her shadow spread silently across the ground, splitting into dozens of pitch-black tendrils.
Any wolves that tried to circle around Chen Xiang to attack her from the flank were immediately ensnared by the shadowy tentacles, dragged effortlessly into the darkness. After a short, sharp scream, there was silence.
Just then, a blur of motion shot out from the side tunnel at incredible speed—straight toward Lin Lan’s back!
“So you finally decided to show yourself.”
As if she had eyes on the back of her head, Lin Lan didn’t even turn around. The shadow beneath her feet instantly transformed into a massive shield behind her.
“Clang!”
The short spear in Zhang Jie’s hand—crafted from a steel pipe—collided with the shadow shield, producing a crisp metallic ring.
Missing his mark, Zhang Jie immediately withdrew, launching dozens of compressed air blades that flew toward Lin Lan in a dense barrage!
Lin Lan’s body melted into the shadows, and every wind blade struck only her shadow shield, carving deep gashes into its surface.
“Good speed,” Lin Lan’s figure emerged from the darkness, “but your attack power is lacking.”
“Is that so?!”
Zhang Jie sneered coldly, and his figure vanished again.
He pushed his speed to the limit, his form splitting into dozens of indistinguishable afterimages within the complex hall. From every direction, he struck at Lin Lan simultaneously.
Wind blades and shadow blades clashed in midair, colliding, crossing, and dissipating.
For a moment, the entire hall flickered with light and darkness; currents of energy surged violently as transcendent power rippled through the air.
Yet Zhang Jie soon realized that no matter how he attacked, Lin Lan remained calm and unhurried, defending and dodging with precision—never engaging him directly.
She was stalling for time!
Zhang Jie’s heart sank. He turned sharply and saw that Chen Xiang had already broken through the beasts’ final defensive line, heading straight for Yang Li at the central platform!
“Not good!”
Abandoning his fight with Lin Lan, Zhang Jie spun around, ready to rush back to protect Yang Li.
But that single turning motion caused him to falter.
“Got you.”
Lin Lan’s icy voice sounded behind him.
Dozens of black shadow tendrils erupted from the ground like demonic claws from hell, wrapping tightly around Zhang Jie’s legs!
He felt a crushing weight—like being shackled by tons of iron.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiang had already reached Yang Li.
“Little girl, looks like your zoo isn’t much use.”
A victor’s smile spread across Chen Xiang’s face as he advanced step by step.
Yang Li’s face turned pale. The last of her hounds growled desperately and charged at Chen Xiang, only to be effortlessly cut down one by one, their skulls cleaved apart.
“Damn it, die!”
Bound by shadows, Zhang Jie roared furiously, hurling his short spear with all his strength straight at Chen Xiang’s back!
The spear whistled through the air, but the moment it touched the golden shield, it bounced away and embedded itself weakly in a distant wall.
“Don’t struggle. It’s useless.”
Chen Xiang spoke without looking back, stepping right up to Yang Li.
“No—!”
Zhang Jie’s eyes bulged with fury as he thrashed violently, trying to break free from the shadows. But the more he struggled, the tighter they became.
He attacked Lin Lan desperately with wind blades, trying to force her to release him, but Lin Lan held on with gritted teeth, enduring his assaults without letting go.
Chen Xiang stood before Yang Li, the same calm smile on his face. “Your animals can’t save you.”
Yang Li stared at Chen Xiang, who had slaughtered all her beasts, and as he advanced toward her, she raised her dagger and thrust it forward with all her strength—only for it to bounce harmlessly off the shield.
Chen Xiang reached out and seized her by the throat. Yang Li glared at him, as if trying to carve his face into her very soul.
“I… will remember you… you… can’t esc—”
Those were the last words Yang Li left in this world.
“Crack.”
Chen Xiang twisted her slender neck without hesitation.
“No!!!”
Bound tightly by shadows, Zhang Jie watched Chen Xiang kill Yang Li and roared in fury.
Once he finished with Yang Li, Chen Xiang appeared before Zhang Jie.
“Your speed truly is impressive,” Chen Xiang said, smiling at Zhang Jie’s face twisted with rage. “But before absolute defense, it’s meaningless.”
Then, he slowly raised his fist.
“Bang!”
A dull thud rang out.
His golden-glowing fist easily pierced through Zhang Jie’s chest, shattering his still-beating heart.
Zhang Jie’s expression froze. The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly before his body slumped to the ground.
When the battle ended, Chen Xiang let out a long breath, an expression of satisfaction crossing his face as the golden radiance around him gradually faded away.
Then, Lin Lan and Chen Xiang walked to where Chen Jingjing lay and drove a pitch-black shadow spike straight through the heart of the still-unconscious woman.
