C27 – Beyond Rank Three
“Cat Shadow Step!”
When Loong Chen executed the Cat Shadow Step, his body seemingly lost weight in an instant. It transformed into a shadow, slipping into the midst of the bodyguards.
A barrage of punches, thick as shadows, was hurled at Loong Chen from all directions. Yet, every punch merely connected with Loong Chen’s phantom. They failed to graze even his garments.
The bodyguards were thoroughly taken aback. Their strikes couldn’t land on this young man. He stood right before their eyes, yet they couldn’t land a blow on him.
His speed was simply too astonishing, wasn’t it?
“Could that Level 3 Evolver master possess a double presence? Why have so many figures suddenly materialized?”
Ordinary onlookers couldn’t discern that Loong Chen was merely a phantom. To them, these apparitions appeared entirely corporeal.
Only individuals like Liu Qingyun, who stood on the brink of becoming an Evolver, could vaguely grasp that this was a phantom conjured by Loong Chen’s blinding speed.
At this moment, Liu Qingyun’s eyes harbored not a shred of resentment for Loong Chen. Instead, they brimmed with boundless admiration.
In the face of overwhelming disparity in strength, envy and jealousy dissolved. In their place bloomed profound respect and reverence.
“Alliance Master, what kind of martial art is this? How can he be this fast? I daresay even you might not reach such velocity, correct?”
Outside the main hall, Zhang Qibing and several upper echelons of the sub-league observed the battle.
By the time they arrived, Loong Chen had already engaged the Mo family members in combat. Yet, Zhang Qibing hadn’t intervened. He wished to gauge Loong Chen’s true capabilities.
“I can’t discern it precisely, but I’m certain that I’d be placed in a highly disadvantageous position if I had to confront such swiftness.”
Zhang Qibing responded with a solemn expression. Loong Chen’s speed had surpassed that of an average Level 3 Evolver.
“Even you can’t pinpoint his true self?”
The sub-league’s higher-ups exclaimed in astonishment. Zhang Qibing was a Level 3 Evolver and had remained at that stage for quite some time.
This fact underscored Loong Chen’s formidable strength.
“To ascertain his actual body, I’d require some time, provided he refrains from attacking. But how likely is that?”
Zhang Qibing shook his head, wearing a wry smile.
“Why is this guy so unbelievably fast?”
Mo Lin wore a grim expression as he peered at the battlefield. Loong Chen’s swift movements, aided by the creation of afterimages, made it challenging to track his actions.
Amidst the chaos, a chorus of screams echoed. In a mere moment, several of Mo Lin’s bodyguards were sent hurtling through the air.
Loong Chen had been collecting attributes, but now that he had his fill, he was ready to wrap things up.
Thus, he initiated his offensive.
Several muffled thuds followed as Loong Chen dispatched Mo Lin’s bodyguards like discarded ragdolls.
These bodyguards couldn’t even discern Loong Chen’s actual location.
In under a minute, the dozen Level 1 Evolver bodyguards accompanying Mo Lin lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in agony.
“So, any plans on how to take me down?” Loong Chen quipped, crossing his arms.
Mo Lin’s complexion drained of color. Loong Chen had effortlessly vanquished over a dozen Level 1 Evolver warriors.
But conceding wasn’t in Mo Lin’s nature.
“Loong Chen, don’t let your arrogance cloud your judgment. Even if you’re formidable, you’re clueless about the Mo family’s might.”
“You’ve injured my brother and harmed numerous Mo family bodyguards. The Mo family won’t just let this slide. If my memory serves me right, you have a younger sister.”
A sinister smirk crept across Mo Lin’s face.
At this mention, Loong Chen’s eyes flickered with a murderous glint.
There were lines one should never cross. His sister was that line. How dare Mo Lin employ his sister as a pawn? Mo Lin had just sealed his fate!
