Chapter 23 - Chapter 19 Superpower User

"Ah!"

Lin Xian roared loudly, his Blood Energy surging, braving a hail of bullets and furiously charging forward!

Boom!

Facing the high-speed collision of a 200-ton heavy gas turbine locomotive, the thin-skinned sedan blocking the way was severed in half in an instant, bursting into sparks and shattering debris, with Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan in the cab only feeling a slight stutter in the vehicle before rushing through.

It was as simple as driving over a crushed cardboard box.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets rained down on the all-metallic body of the vehicle, scratching only a few white spots; conversely, a ricocheted stray bullet pierced through the thigh of one of Liu Wei's henchmen.

"Ah!"

The henchman immediately clutched his thigh in pain.

In just a moment, the train rushed forward, and seeing this, Liu Wei felt his authority completely undermined, infuriated; a flash of green light in his eyes, his shirt burst open, and four eerie green tentacles stretched out from behind, swiftly climbing, like a rapid spider, quickly following the tracks to chase.

These four tentacles had tremendous strength, capable of moving objects weighing tons, and were extremely agile. After training, Liu Wei had even found that his strength and speed could continuously increase, so he arrogantly adopted the title "Four-winged King."

Thump!

Just when Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan thought they had broken through the ambush, a bizarre sound came from the roof of the train.

Lin Xian's expression tightened, he immediately slowed down the train slightly, and grabbed the Short Knife he carried.

He had to reduce the speed, otherwise, he wouldn't have much energy left to deal with emergencies.

Thud, thud, thud!

Something seemed to be clinging to the roof, frightening Chen Sixuan into curling up into a ball, Lin Xian, listening to the sounds, abruptly retreated, at that moment, a middle-aged man with tentacles suddenly appeared in front of the train window.

"Bold kid, got some nerve to rush into the trap I set!"

Liu Wei, upon seeing Lin Xian who was just a youth in the cab, immediately cursed, but then his gaze swept over and caught sight of Chen Sixuan curled up in the corridor, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Yo, there's a beauty here."

Chen Sixuan, seeing Liu Wei's protruding tentacles, turned pale with fear, Liu Wei's appearance at this moment was almost identical to the monster in the movies, with eerie green eyes and four disgusting tentacles moving.

A Superpower User!?

Lin Xian's heart skipped a beat, not expecting one of the ambushers to be a superpower user.

This was his first encounter with a superpower user, which was very different from what he had initially imagined.

After all, he had not expected humans could sprout tentacles. Was this a superpower or nuclear radiation?

Thud!

Without a word, Liu Wei slammed a tentacle against the train window, immediately creating a spider-web-like crack in the windshield.

Lin Xian was shocked, the train's windshield was made from 10-15 millimeters of high-strength glass, even rifle bullets would only leave white marks, he hadn't expected that this person's single hit could crack it, what kind of terrifying strength was this?!

Liu Wei was equally shocked; he was very clear about the strength of his tentacles, this strike had not punctured straight through the glass, indicating the train's defensive power was not low.

"Damn it!"

Lin Xian's expression turned cold, and he immediately slammed on the brakes, causing the train to rapidly decelerate.

Unaware that Lin Xian had left the driver's seat and not expecting the train to stop so abruptly, Liu Wei was caught off guard and was thrown out by inertia.

"Lock the door!"

Lin Xian bypassed Chen Sixuan, holding the Short Knife, and opened the driving door at the rear of the passage.

Seeing Lin Xian stop the train, Chen Sixuan exclaimed in disbelief, "What are you going to do?"

"Finish him off!"

Boom!

Lin Xian leapt out and then shut the iron door.

He was well aware that a superpower user like Liu Wei, could catch up to the train and break through the protection; hiding inside was merely waiting for death. Rather than having Liu Wei shatter his windshield, it was better to deal with this guy directly.

Otherwise, if the windshield shattered, repairing it would take him several hours at least. Once night fell and his scent was exposed, encountering last night's monstrous insect could mean an even more horrible death.

Liu Wei fell sprawling to the ground, furiously standing up only to see the young man holding a steel blade getting out of the cab, which made him laugh involuntarily.

"What, playing the hero to save the beauty, brother, haha," he jeered, his tentacles stretching out behind him, appearing immensely large as he menacingly said to Lin Xian, "Sorry, but today I'll take your life, your car, and I'll take good care of your woman for you."

Lin Xian's expression hardened, without wasting words, he raised his hand and aimed a charged Wind Cannon at Liu Wei's face!

Click!

The sharp Wind Gun blasted out, and as Liu Wei saw Lin Xian raising his hand, wanted to respond, but suddenly felt as if his forehead was struck by a heavy hammer, sending him flying through the air.

"Shit! A superpower user!"

Liu Wei was terrified, quickly realizing that his opponent was also a superpower user like him. He had just awakened his powers not long ago and had no combat experience; momentarily off guard, Lin Xian's sneak attack made him break into a cold sweat.

Although his physical condition and reaction capabilities had greatly improved after awakening, while being flung back, a tentacle shot out like lightning, wrapping around Lin Xian's ankle.

Right next to the tracks was a deep valley slope, and Liu Wei in mid-air tried to stabilize his body with other tentacles but tore through the wire mesh surrounding the tracks, hence both he and Lin Xian tumbled down the slope together.

Lin Xian hadn't anticipated Liu Wei's seemingly flabby tentacle to move so fast and even a close-range Wind Cannon had only left a shallow hole on his forehead, indicating the terrifying defensive power of a superpower user.

At that moment, his ankle was wrapped tight, the immense binding force causing him to inhale sharply from the pain.

If not for his enhanced strength and defense properties, just that twist would have surely broken his ankle.

Buzzing!

The world spinning, along the way Liu Wei's tentacles broke several bushes but still couldn't stop their descent; Lin Xian dropped Short Knife, clasped his head with both hands, pulled by Liu Wei all the way to the bottom of the riverside slope.

Excruciating pain!

When Lin Xian strained to open his eyes, heartrending pain surged from every part of his body; his first reaction was to scan around, quickly spotting Liu Wei not far away, straining to rise from the ground with his tentacles waving.

As Liu Wei was at the forefront, his massive body with tentacles nearly cleared the path of all sharp stones and grass, now his whole body was covered in blood, utterly disheveled.

"Damn it, motherfucker!"

Although his defense had significantly increased, Liu Wei's back was cracked open, flesh gaping, and one leg's joint dislocated, pain nearly shattering his molars.

Fury driven, Liu Wei looked up at Lin Xian who he had dragged down, not daring to underestimate him; his opponent had thrown him mid-air barehanded, a superpower beyond his comprehension.

In this situation, he had to fight for his life and strike first!

But as his gaze focused on Lin Xian lying on the ground, he realized his opponent had already opened his eyes, and even a finger was pointing at Liu Wei's forehead.

Shit, here it comes again!

Liu Wei felt a momentary chill, as four tentacles instantly stretched out, shielding his face.

But the anticipated attack did not come; instead, the movement reopened the deep, bone-showing wounds on his back, blood flowing like streams, almost making him pass out.

A feint?

Liu Wei didn't have time to cry out in pain; opening his tentacles, he saw that young man with hands on the ground charging towards him like a hunting dog, lunging with a punch towards his newly opened face.

Bang!

Lin Xian's full-force punch nearly shattered Liu Wei's entire nose, darkening his vision, his tentacles reflexively striking forward, but all hitting empty air.

He hadn't expected such a young man to act so fiercely and cunningly; this was not something Liu Wei, who had spent years crouching in farmer markets, could react to.

Having been bested twice in succession, Liu Wei grew fearful.

His fleet had just set out for the day when Liu Wei felt death bearing down on him.
