"Fuck it! Let's go all out!"
A member of the Iron Fist Gang cursed aloud.
He scrambled up and charged at Chen Lun, swinging the iron fist of Mad Hand fiercely, wanting to smash this strange man's head with one punch!
Chen Lun casually raised his hand and caught his fist.
Steam jetted out from the air holes on either side of Mad Hand, but the flesh that enveloped it remained perfectly still.
The Iron Fist Gang member's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Mad Hand... blocked?!"
Chen Lun's other hand clenched into a fist, drawing a long shadow.
The next instant, it landed heavily on his face.
The entire face of the Iron Fist Gang member fractured, like crumbling blocks.
His body reeled backward, flung several meters by the powerful impact, and smashed to the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Jack, so amazing!"
Connie couldn't help but cheer secretly.
When the chaos had erupted, Floey had taken the opportunity to pull her aside to hide. Now, seeing Chen Lun arrive, both of their hearts experienced different changes.
Connie was incredibly excited.
She had already despaired, knowing what it meant for her and Miss Floey to be brought here.
The notorious Iron Fist Gang was the nightmare of Outer City District's residents, and the muddy riverside was a place even more feared, akin to hell.
Facing these men, the future for two young girls would likely be worse than death.
"Kill them! Mr. Jack!"
Connie gritted her teeth and quietly cheered Chen Lun on.
Floey turned her head towards her with some surprise.
Seeming to notice Floey's "gaze," Connie awkwardly shrank her head back.
Oh my God! That's so unladylike!
Why did I say such vulgar words?!
Floey turned her attention away from the socially dead Connie and focused entirely on the man.
"He has appeared again... at a time when I am in trouble.
Just like brother..."
Floey pursed her lips, then shook her head slightly.
An explosion sounded.
Countless fine nails and shards of glass sprayed towards Chen Lun.
Feeling a trace of danger, Chen Lun quickly dodged to the side.
The strangely shaped Blunderbuss, much like a short-barreled shotgun, had an even broader area of destruction. Even with Chen Lun's level of Agility, he couldn't completely dodge it at such close range.
He took a hit on one arm, his pristine white shirt tearing open in several places.
"He's been shot! Fire at will and kill him!"
The Iron Fist Gang member who had fired the gun shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing this, the other men in leather jackets also pulled out their Blunderbusses and began shooting at Chen Lun.
Bang! Bang bang bang!!
A continuous barrage of blasts, as small objects overwhelmed Chen Lun.
Nails, glass shards, steel pellets, and even pebbles struck him all over, covering several meters around him.
He had no space to dodge!
Connie cried out, unable to watch and covering her eyes.
Although Floey knew Chen Lun was a Transcendent, she had never witnessed him fighting in battle.
Her heart couldn't help but race.
Such saturation firing tore Chen Lun's clothes to shreds.
The Iron Fist Gang members looked thrilled.
"You blind son of bitches, daring to mess with us, this is what you get!"
A man in a leather jacket spat on the ground out of spite.
The stray dog that had followed Chen Lun barked furiously at the Iron Fist Gang members.
"Shit! And you, you damn dog!"
An Iron Fist Gang member loaded his Blunderbuss with nails and raised it towards the stray dog.
"You go first, little dog."
The dust cleared, revealing the figure of Chen Lun.
He waved his hand behind him, and the stray dog understood his gesture, whining twice before scampering off.
The leading task was complete; it could now retreat with its mission accomplished.
The members of the Iron Fist Gang stared with wide eyes.
This guy is still not dead!?
With that intense gunfire just now, even an iron man should be riddled with holes!
Beneath Chen Lun's tattered clothes shimmered a dark golden light.
He lifted his head and grinned ferociously.
Although the Carp Armor protected him, the sheer number of forced [-1] damage still caused him to lose a chunk of his health.
"Everyone present here is going to die!"
As his words fell, his figure had already vanished.
The guy who was about to shoot the stray dog suddenly shifted his arm, firing the blunderbuss forward.
—An accident occurred!
The blunderbuss in his hand exploded in a flash, scattering fragments and nails in every direction.
He cursed, his body covered in fine wounds. Luckily the protection of the iron fist covered his hands, or he would have lost his entire palm!
The Iron Fist Gang member, who had just been relieved that he wore the Mad Hand and escaped the blunderbuss threat, had his head and above parts vanish in an instant.
As if wiped away by an eraser.
The headless body fell with a thump, stirring up dust.
"Kill him! Kill him now!!"
The remaining few members of the Iron Fist Gang screamed with red-necked horror.
The one who had taken Floey's flintlock gun fired three shots in a row.
The figure bathed in a dark golden glow dodged left and right like a specter, appearing in front of the shooter the next second.
A pair of killing intent-filled green vertical pupils stared squarely at him.
An arm shot out like a python, the hand grasping and biting down on his neck.
Chen Lun grasped him like a rag doll, tossing him toward the others.
With a few clinks, they all collapsed twistedly on the ground.
"Let hunger blossom..."
Chen Lun pulled the trigger twice.
The bowstring of the Tongue of Gluttony trembled, and two crimson crossbow bolts hit two men squarely.
The men struck by the arrows suddenly rose in a frenzy, grabbing and savagely biting into the person beneath them.
Screams and gnawing sounds intertwined.
Unable to stomach the bloody scene, Connie looked away.
The last two, mouths filled with blood, turned on each other, biting and consuming one another.
Until they were destroyed.
Using the hand crossbow had drained quite a bit of his Physical Strength.
He could have killed these Iron Fist Gang members in a more effortless way.
Not just because they dared to lay hands on Floey and disrupted his plans. Another reason was, he wanted to test the hand crossbow in real combat.
The results satisfied him.
"Mr. Jack, are you all right?"
Floey picked up her flintlock gun and secretly hid it behind her back. She looked at Chen Lun as usual, then in silence, her expression softened with concern.
Chen Lun shook his head.
The animal-like features on his body had vanished, and he had returned to his original appearance.
Connie was quite shocked to witness Chen Lun's inhuman performance, but she dared not ask too much, feeling that Mr. Jack was becoming more and more mysterious.
The supernaturals were too much of a worldview shock for Connie to digest all at once.
"Floey, you go back first,"
Floey didn't ask what he was going to do but nodded obediently.
