Bang!
Just as the ferocious hound, with its cavernous maw agape, lunged to bite Li Qianfan's left foot, his right foot had already landed a fierce kick on the dog's head.
Full power!!
The reason Li Qianfan used his full strength to kick the hound was not only because he "loathed" it for leading Jiao Yin and the others to find him and Du Junlin, but also for two other reasons.
One.
To test the terrifying qualitative leap in speed and power after the activation of 209.
Two.
He truly had no interest in a prolonged entanglement with a hound; he wanted to finish it quickly and then deal with Jiao Yin.
Squelch—
This was the sound made when Li Qianfan's right foot forcefully kicked the dog's head.
If it had been a crack, it would have meant that his kick had broken the dog's skull.
If it was a squelch, it meant that his kick had pulverized the dog's skull into dust!
Good, it was a squelch, not a crack.
Li Qianfan's confidence surged.
The changes brought about by 209 far exceeded his expectations.
Tonight, he could just practice his moves on Jiao Yin!!
"Hah!"
Li Qianfan roared.
Using the rebound force from the still-open-mouthed hound, whose head had been shattered, Li Qianfan, who was about to land, sprang forward again.
He lunged towards Jiao Yin, who, believing she had the upper hand in capturing the enemy, had changed into white clothes to showcase her expert status (showing off).
Giving her absolutely no chance to react!
Wasn't Jiao Yin showing off?
She even said things like "a friend from afar" to accentuate her prestige.
Fine.
Li Qianfan would now let her show off to her heart's content.
She wouldn't be able to *not* show off!
"Ah! How can he be so formidable!?"
Jiao Yin cried out in alarm.
Although she couldn't clearly see Li Qianfan's kick that sent the hound flying, she could quickly assess its power from the "squelch" sound.
The sturdy hound, after being struck on the head, didn't even have time to yelp in pain.
Jiao Yin mused—
If it were her, even if she could shatter the dog's skull, she wouldn't be able to prevent it from yelping.
"Who is he? Could it be Li Xiao, the Lord of Dragon Ruins, in disguise?"
Jiao Yin only had time to harbor this question before Li Qianfan emerged from the darkness. The whistling sound of his swiftly delivered right kick sent shivers down her spine.
Such speed.
Such immense power—
As Jiao Yin's pupils contracted sharply, her movements were swift. Her head snapped back, and she yelled sternly, "Lights!"
She regretted it.
She regretted not hiding in the darkness while wearing white clothes to show off.
She regretted even more that she hadn't concealed her voice when she thought she had victory in hand.
If she couldn't keep Li Qianfan (she had no idea who her enemy was) here, her true identity in Tian Dong might be exposed.
Once exposed.
The painstaking efforts the Dark Web had invested over the years to infiltrate Tian Dong would all be in vain.
However.
Jiao Yin was also well aware.
In this world, there was never any medicine for regret.
All she could do now was order her subordinates to turn on the lights and use all their means to capture the enemy, no matter what.
Bang!
Whoosh—
Jiao Yin's head tilted back just in time. Li Qianfan's kick missed, landing heavily on a nearby tree.
The water-bucket-thick trunk shook violently, and the leaves rustled.
Li Qianfan's original 209, which he carried, had only just been activated.
Even though his speed and power had undergone a qualitative leap, as Yang Xiao had said, he could now rank among the top experts.
However, his practical combat experience and his application of speed and power were still somewhat immature.
He couldn't effectively utilize the terrifying power and speed he now possessed.
More than half of the "energy" was wasted.
If it were Li Wuji—
Taking advantage of Jiao Yin's moment of showing off and carelessness, if Sister Wuji had lunged forward, she wouldn't have even had a chance to dodge.
Her beautiful head would have been kicked open like a rotten watermelon, just like the hound's head!!!
Turn on the lights—
As Jiao Yin's stern command echoed, seven powerful flashlights suddenly illuminated the darkness.
All the beams were like stage spotlights, locking onto Li Qianfan.
They swayed incessantly, pointing directly into his eyes.
This was an attempt to use the strong light to disrupt his attack.
This method was quite effective.
After kicking the tree trunk, Li Qianfan had intended to immediately lunge at Jiao Yin again, using his speed to give her no chance to breathe.
But the sudden glare of the strong lights made him instinctively close his eyes and raise his hand to shield his face.
His aggressive lunging momentum also faltered significantly.
His instinctive reaction once again exposed his weakness of insufficient combat experience.
And Jiao Yin!
She seized the opportunity, retreating seven steps in succession and hiding behind a tree, gaining a crucial moment to catch her breath.
She also got a "highlight" of Li Qianfan, who was only wearing shoes.
A sinister grin.
Jiao Yin grinned sinisterly and raised her hand, "Fire, kill him!"
At this point, she didn't care who Li Qianfan was or whether she should capture him alive.
Her mind was filled with the urgent thought of killing him to prevent her identity from being exposed.
A "Swallow" immediately raised her gun—
Crack!
As this Swallow raised her pistol, she suddenly heard a bone-cracking sound, followed by the sight of a white figure.
This white figure was definitely not Jiao Yin.
Because Jiao Yin was twenty meters away, behind a tree.
Crucially, this white figure, which had appeared from nowhere, was behind this Swallow.
But the Swallow didn't turn around, yet she saw the front of the white figure.
This was because—
Shen Chongchong, with ghostly swiftness, had twisted this Swallow's neck!
A perfect 180 degrees, straighter than if drawn with a ruler.
After Shen Yun snapped the Swallow's neck, without even a 0.00001-second pause, she moved towards another Swallow.
One punch!
She directly caved in the head of this Swallow, who had just pulled the trigger.
No words could describe the speed and brutality of Shen Chongchong's killing.
Du Junlin, with his formidable reputation, truly seemed like a child in front of Shen Chongchong.
Whoosh whoosh—
But the other "Swallows" and "Sparrows" did eventually fire at Li Qianfan.
So what?
As Jiao Yin hissed with a sinister grin and ordered them to fire, Li Qianfan had already lunged towards her.
His pouncing speed was still terrifying.
Several bullets hit the water-bucket-thick tree.
This was the first and last chance Li Qianfan would give these people to fire.
Because—
Before they could pull the trigger a second time, Li Qianfan had already reached Jiao Yin.
If they were to fire again, they might accidentally hit Jiao Yin.
Moreover, this was not an open space but a forest with dense trees, where the effectiveness of firearms was clearly minimized.
A white figure appeared on the scene—
Neither Li Qianfan nor Jiao Yin noticed.
Their attention was solely focused on each other.
When Jiao Yin saw Li Qianfan dodging the bullets and pouncing like lightning, she knew her subordinates could no longer offer much help.
She had to fend for herself—
Fend for what?
As Jiao Yin unleashed a powerful kick at Li Qianfan, he caught her flying leg.
The strong forward momentum of his pounce sent them both tumbling to the ground.
Jiao Yin was at the bottom.
Li Qianfan was on top.
After the heavy fall, Jiao Yin grunted from the impact.
Fortunately, she had her own shock absorbers, or her heart would have been crushed.
Before the grunt had even faded, Jiao Yin, with her considerable experience, did not pause at all. She used her hands and feet in tandem.
Her hands went to choke Li Qianfan's neck.
Her two long legs transformed into two pythons, silently roaring as they wrapped around his waist.
Jiao Yin was not only a top-tier expert but also a master of judo (wrestling).
Did Li Qianfan know wrestling?
He knew a little, a little.
At the very least, his strength was many times greater than Jiao Yin's.
As soon as Jiao Yin wrapped her legs around him, preparing for a crossface lock, Li Qianfan grunted, dodged her hands with a tilt of his head, and suddenly pushed himself up.
Jiao Yin, wrapped around him like a white python, instinctively grabbed his arm as her hands, which were reaching for his neck, now clutched his arm.
Li Qianfan seized the opportunity, held her with both hands, and rammed her forcefully against a tree.
Bang!
Whoosh—
Hmph!!
Jiao Yin's back slammed heavily against the tree, feeling as if her spine was about to break. She let out a muffled groan of pain.
Stars swam before her eyes.
If it were anyone else, they would have already had their lumbar spine broken by Li Qianfan's brutal impact.
It could only be said that Jiao Yin was indeed worthy of her reputation.
But what of it?
Li Qianfan didn't care. He continued to hold her by the buttocks and rammed her against the tree with all his might again.
Bang.
Whoosh.
Heng—
Jiao Yin suffered a second, almost unbearable, heavy blow.
This was the consequence of showing off.
