Chapter 596 - 580: Seven Kills (Double-Length - )
The night was thick like ink, devouring the lonely highway at the edge of the city.
The wind, carrying a biting chill, whipped the withered yellow wild grass by the roadside, emitting ghostly wails. Every few dozen meters, a lamp post stood as rusty patches cast stingy light, revealing the silhouettes of a pursuit.
Lin Yi ran on all fours, his spine arching like a bow in his stride.
In the next second, he pounced onto a lamp post like a wild beast, gripping the metal with his five fingers while his feet fiercely pushed against the base.
"Crack!"
Amidst the explosive sound of metal twisting and breaking.
The metal lamp post, as thick as a bowl and deeply embedded in the ground, broke in half like a brittle sugarcane!
The upper half of the broken lamp post, with a shrill sound of wind, transformed into a gigantic metal spear, tearing through the air, whistling backward, the broken lamp at its top bursting into a spray of tiny electric sparks.
Using the force from his push, he leaped over ten meters into the air. As he landed, his hands again clawed at the ground, the stored kinetic energy in his waist and abdomen adding to the rebound force, propelling him toward the next unsuspecting lamp post.
Jumping is faster than running!
This was a predatory technique he learned from those nauseating "crawlers" in the Hidden Sect ruins, now being used to escape for his life.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang—!"
The repeatedly thrown lamp posts shot like a dense barrage of siege bolts, fiercely piercing into the hard asphalt road!
Each impact accompanied by thunderous explosions, the road surface bursting into a spiderweb of dense cracks, fragments of stone and asphalt shooting out like shrapnel!
The heavy metal lamp posts were deeply lodged into the ground, leaving twisted broken ends exposed like rows of abrupt tombstones, carving fierce and horrible trenches on the road surface.
Venom pursued closely behind, completely unafraid, its arms suddenly stretched forward, palms twisting and splitting into dozens of pitch-black tendrils.
Like shadow and liquid, everything it passed, every lamp post, was completely shredded.
In the next instant!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
The sharp whistling of air being cut pierced through the night.
The back of Lin Yi’s neck turned cold, and he looked back in panic, seeing countless lamp post fragments spinning and shooting towards him like a torrential rain, sweeping in with blistering speed.
Jump faster than run?
But how could he be faster than flying bullets?
Moreover, the barrage from Venom was even faster than ordinary bullets in acceleration!
Lin Yi had no choice but to forcibly stop his frantic sprint, his feet carving two fiery deep grooves in the road, his body making a sudden 180-degree turn.
"Clang!"
With a sharp sound, he swiftly drew a tactical belt from his waist!
Not an ordinary belt, the specially designed alloy buckle and sturdy composite fibers immediately went taut!
Lin Yi’s arms blurred into afterimages, the tactical belt creating an impenetrable shield in front of him.
"Ding ding dang! Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
In just a few seconds of blocking, the ground before Lin Yi was densely covered with intertwined metal fragments, forming a terrifying fan-shaped blade array, each piece embedded in the ground humming and trembling.
The tactical belt, too, was filled with cracks, and his arms and shoulders bore deep bleeding gashes.
"Huff... huff... can’t escape!"
His face scarred with burns, menacingly flushed with blood, he gasped as his phone fell from his hand.
The screen cracked, still broadcasting his companion’s foolish urging.
Lin Yi bent down to grab it, but as his fingertips touched the phone, electric shock jolted through him.
A violent gust brushed past his face!
Venom stomped across the fan-shaped blade array, its hideous white eyes full of predatory hunger, its terrifying mouth opening, oozing pitch-black saliva.
"You can’t run; Father told me to eat you!"
With the Substitute Food connection, if Venom eats Lin Yi, it means Father Feng Mu has eaten Lin Yi.
This spares the father the trouble of eating himself, so considerate, so efficient~
This manner of dining truly redefines a villain’s elegance.
Venom’s blackened fist was like a smooth mirror, even clearly reflecting Lin Yi’s twisted face.
Sweat, blood, and dust mixed together, scars burning fiercely, his eyes interwoven with frenzy and despair.
"Ha, to be eaten as a feast?"
Lin Yi roared in indignant rage.
With the strategic retreat plan ruined... all that’s left is to fight to the death!
He stood firm, his stance slightly dropped, assuming a strange posture resembling neither horse stance nor anything else.
Then he inhaled deeply, his internal organs resonating in unison, producing a wolf-like howl from his throat:
"I’m not afraid of you all. If you want to eat me, then..."
Venom’s understanding of eating was straightforward and direct, with no tricks.
It didn’t care about spices or lack thereof; plain boiled meat and braised meat were the same to it, the difference lying only in what its father provided~
As for the food’s last words? They were nothing more than inconsequential background noise before a meal.
"If I want to eat you, I’ll eat you!"
Venom’s brute-force thoughts ruthlessly interrupted Lin Yi’s roar.
Its right arm suddenly twisted, like a wet towel, tightening fiercely, muscle fibers (if they could even be called muscles) coiling and compressing layer upon layer.
In an instant, the arm was no longer an arm but transformed into a drill bit, filled with spirals, as if it were formed by countless coils of black steel rods twisted together.
This was the [Seven Kills Fist] Venom had recently learned from its father.
Seven Kills Fist, when charging the arm, emphasized twisting the entire body’s power and boiling blood like twisting a rope, layer by layer spiraling, twisting into a single "braided force."
