148: You take drugs, I call on the gods, and we fight until we die!
“Enough of the nonsense. Shen Bei, hand over your head!”
In the howling night wind, Luo Chengyuan's chilling long cry drowned out all other sounds. He slowly spread his arms, and at the same time, his mouth moved as if he was chewing something.
“Please God!!”
Boom!
Suddenly, majestic red and black flames surged from Luo Chengyuan's entire body, ominous, deathly silent, and murderous, illuminating this part of the world like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a grave site, and he was the death messenger claiming lives!
At this moment, he could clearly feel a sense of his strength climbing steadily.
Shen Bei's expression paused.
Please God!?
What kind of Martial Skill or thing was this?
It was completely outside Shen Bei's knowledge.
Regarding the Apocalypse Cult, besides modified humans, there was also this 'Please God!'?
Why did it feel like a shamanistic ritual from the North?
However, Shen Bei didn't show the slightest panic. The more mystical it was, the more vulnerable it would be!
“Shen Bei, if I'm not mistaken, your potion just now seemed to be the Headhunter Tribe's Super-Modified Adrenaline.”
Luo Chengyuan, bathed in the grand black and red fiery light, said, “It's truly surprising that you joined the Headhunter Tribe instead of choosing the Tianqi Divine Sect.”
“Very well, then I shall let you witness what it means to be an ant before a god!”
Shen Bei's star-like eyes gleamed, but the words from his mouth revealed an indescribable coldness: “So much nonsense, trying to be mysterious. I can tell you clearly, the god you speak of cannot save you either!”
“Haha!” Luo Chengyuan's eyes were filled with undisguised malice and cruelty, his expression extremely violent and vicious: “No reverence!”
Buzz—!
In an instant, as Luo Chengyuan unleashed a punch, countless red and black flames violently surged from his body. Within a radius of tens of meters around him, the sound of howling winds immediately erupted, and an extremely solid red and black light pillar shot out instantly!
Martial Skill: Scarlet Qi Flow Burst!
“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
Luo Chengyuan suddenly made his Move. Shen Bei snorted coldly, his gaze constantly on Luo Chengyuan's movements. The muscles on his entire right arm rippled and swelled like waves, then, like a heavy cannon, he roared and blasted it out!
As Shen Bei threw this punch, the air resonated with muffled thunder-like sounds, reverberating back and forth.
Within a radius of more than ten meters, all the gravel and dust on the ground were stirred up. A visible circular impact, like a wave, rapidly spread forward from the tip of his fist, colliding with Luo Chengyuan's killing Move in a flash of lightning.
Boom!
Like heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, rolling light flames, Qi waves, and ripples instantly exploded violently, sweeping in all directions. At the center where Shen Bei and Luo Chengyuan's killing Moves collided, large sections of gravel and topsoil violently cracked, shattered, and were thrown up.
Then, under the surging aftermath, they surged and churned in all directions, forming a circular crater with a diameter of over fifty meters in the blink of an eye. The rumbling sound shook the entire county town!
And in such a scene of earth-shattering commotion.
It was as if the power contained in the red and black colors held an absolute advantage. This ripple force field rapidly pushed and surged towards Shen Bei's direction. It looked as if Shen Bei himself, along with the half of the world he was in, would be completely pulverized as this Qi wave swept past!
Puff!
Shen Bei suddenly groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his strong, tower-like body was violently lifted like a blade of grass in the terrifying red and black impact, then crashed backward!
With a loud bang, Shen Bei's powerless, backward-flying figure, like an arrow released from a bowstring, traversed a distance of over ten meters and slammed heavily into a city wall, directly blasting out a large pit, then falling to the ground.
At this moment, Luo Chengyuan also staggered back a few steps, blood at the corner of his mouth, quickly steadying his swaying figure under the fierce impact.
At this moment, Shen Bei pushed aside the rubble on his body and stood up immediately.
He looked at Luo Chengyuan with some shock.
How could this be…
He had used Super-Modified Adrenaline, his strength had increased by one rank, yet he couldn't withstand Luo Chengyuan's attack?
“This guy's Please God!… seems to be on par with Super-Modified Adrenaline.”
Shen Bei dusted off the dirt from his body, temporarily not having much of a problem.
However, Super-Modified Adrenaline had a limited duration. Once the time was up, he would directly crash.
He just didn't know how long Luo Chengyuan's “Please God!” could last.
“Time to gamble on luck…”
Shen Bei took a step, rushing out, crossing a distance of twenty to thirty meters in a flash, and unhindered, he closed in on Luo Chengyuan!
At this very moment, a fierce gale assaulted him. Shen Bei's ferocious face was almost perfectly clear, but Luo Chengyuan's pupils were filled with extreme shock.
Luo Chengyuan also knew what kind of boost Super-Modified Adrenaline would bring.
But Shen Bei's Thrust (thrust) speed still exceeded his prediction.
Boom boom~~
The two sides once again began to fiercely attack each other.
One with Super-Modified Adrenaline, the other with “Please God!”
With their strengths similarly boosted, the battle between the two was inextricably linked.
Their figures constantly dashed and collided in the night.
Heaven and earth trembled for it.
Time passed.
The two fought for exactly two minutes and fifty-seven seconds!
“Shen Bei! You have three seconds left. If you fail to kill me, once the time is up, it will be your death!”
Luo Chengyuan laughed heartily: “Even if you are a Third-Rank Martial Artist, your true attributes are truly enviable, possessing the strength to fight a Four-Rank Martial Artist. All right, everything can end now. If you have any last words, you can say them directly!”
In Luo Chengyuan's view, Super-Modified Adrenaline was indeed powerful.
“Please God!” was indeed not as fierce as this potion.
But it lasted longer!
As long as three minutes and thirty seconds!
Moreover, once the Please God! time was over, it wasn't a crash state, but a slow decline in strength, with a buffer process.
It could be said that its advantages were obvious!
Shen Bei was bound to lose!
But Shen Bei ignored him, already fiercely blasting his fists at Luo Chengyuan.
At this moment, Luo Chengyuan was not in a hurry, constantly retreating and dodging.
There was no need to clash head-on.
He just needed to wait for Shen Bei to crash.
“Three!”
Luo Chengyuan continued to taunt: “This is the countdown to your death!”
“Two!”
Luo Chengyuan's mouth twisted into a ferocious arc: “The death knell!”
“One!”
Luo Chengyuan's eyes were filled with excitement and cruel light: “It's over! Crash for me!”
However…
Shen Bei was still lively, his various fist techniques and Moves showing no signs of weakening!
His figure was agile, chasing after Luo Chengyuan!
Shen Bei's eyes were also filled with an almost insane look, as if he had bet everything he had.
“What?!”
At this moment, Luo Chengyuan let out a furious roar, his eye sockets almost splitting: “How can this be? How can you! Impossible! Impossible!”
Luo Chengyuan was completely dumbfounded.
Clearly, the three-minute mark for the Super-Modified Adrenaline's effects had been reached.
Let alone Shen Bei, even Nine Lives Raven would have crashed on the spot and fallen to the ground.
But Shen Bei's fierce power remained undiminished.
What exactly was going on!
His eyes were filled with terror, resentment, and disbelief.
There was a sense of urgency, like a thorn in his back, lingering in his heart.
At this very moment.
Shen Bei's gaze was filled with brutality, cruelty, and mercilessness: “Luo Chengyuan, let me guess how long your Please God! can last? Three minutes and thirty seconds?”
Luo Chengyuan's pupils contracted.
“Ha, it seems I guessed correctly.”
Shen Bei intensified his offensive: “Now it's your death countdown!”
Luo Chengyuan's pale face was filled with unwillingness: “Why, why can your medicine's effects still last?”
Why?
Have you ever worked odd jobs?
No?
Then you cannot understand what it means for the medicine's duration to increase by 20%.
The duration of Super-Modified Adrenaline wasn't three minutes.
It was three minutes and thirty-six seconds!
Six seconds more than your Please God!!
And Shen Bei naturally wouldn't give Luo Chengyuan the answer.
His eyes merely revealed a hint of profoundness: “The dead are not worthy of knowing.”
Boom boom~~
Luo Chengyuan was terrified inside, struggling to parry Shen Bei's attacks.
He felt himself getting closer and closer to death.
Time passed second by second.
Once the effect of “Please God!” disappeared, although he wouldn't crash.
The consequence of a sharp drop in strength would be unimaginable!
“Three!”
Shen Bei grinned ferociously: “This is the countdown to your death!”
“Two!”
“The death knell is about to toll!”
“One!”
“Final Move! Sending you on your way!”
As Shen Bei's voice fell.
Luo Chengyuan's Please God! effect began to plummet sharply!
Whether it was speed, strength, or defense.
Before Shen Bei, he was as fragile as white paper!
“Goodbye!”
“One Star Three Echoes!”
As Shen Bei ruthlessly made his Move, Luo Chengyuan's ears were filled with the rumbling of the earth shaking and the howling of the wind.
The Shen Bei in front of him was even more like a prehistoric beast, charging wildly. A fist, as if cast from steel, like a heavy siege hammer, carried a violently vibrating Qi wave, constantly enlarging, making him feel as if mountains were roaring and seas were surging, irresistible!
This punch, like a mountain flood bursting, overwhelming, Luo Chengyuan clearly felt in that instant that where Shen Bei's fist pointed, the air layers were compressed, exploded, and annihilated, forming pure white Qi waves flowing along both sides of his arm.
At the same time, this fist was still several meters away from him, yet a terrifying, suffocating feeling enveloped his heart.
It was that long-lost feeling of death about to descend.
Luo Chengyuan's hairs suddenly stood on end, and an unparalleled sense of terror arose in his heart.
Hah!
At this very moment, Luo Chengyuan had no time to make any dodging movements. His heart suddenly let out a violent roar.
Although the Please God! effect was fading.
He was still unwilling!
The red and black flames on his body surged fiercely again, madly pouring into his two arms, making his two palms seem to gather infinite explosive energy, which he slammed fiercely towards Shen Bei's incoming fist.
Boom!
The next moment, their fists and palms met, instantly emitting a destructive roar so violent and grand that it was unimaginable!
First, the ground beneath Shen Bei and Luo Chengyuan's feet collapsed without hindrance. At the same time, as if hundreds of thousands of air bombs exploded simultaneously, substantial gales, Qi waves, and turbulence surged overwhelmingly in all directions like a roaring, galloping giant beast.
This fierce collision and sweep of power on the ground directly shredded the ground layer by layer, then rolled up all the scattered stones, dirt, and smoke.
It directly formed a tornado storm covering a radius of nearly a hundred meters! Making the entire county town tremble for it!
“You!”
And in this process, in the nick of time, Luo Chengyuan, who had forcibly blocked Shen Bei's furious punch, his eye sockets cracking, felt as if he was resisting an ocean battleship, a Universe aircraft carrier!
That kind of overwhelming, irresistible terrifying power seemed to directly crush every inch of his skin, tendons, and muscles!
Crack!
The next moment, without even lasting a second, a series of cracking sounds of muscle tearing and bone shattering came from within Luo Chengyuan's entire body. His body suddenly shot backward like a feather.
And as he rapidly flew backward, his body's interior seemed to be violently shaken by Shen Bei's unparalleled immense force. From his mouth and nose, blood was still uncontrollably gushing and spraying!
After one face-to-face contact, Luo Chengyuan, whose strength had already greatly diminished, was severely injured by Shen Bei's full-power punch, his life unknown!
Shen Bei laughed wildly in the night, mocking him to the extreme, like a father beating his son, he pressed on again, giving Luo Chengyuan no chance to widen the distance between them!
With a loud bang!
Luo Chengyuan's vision suddenly darkened, then his sight violently swayed, and boundless pain accompanied by darkness violently struck!
It was Shen Bei's pillar-like arm, his palm, arriving later but striking first, carrying a mountain-collapsing, sea-surging immense force directly onto his forehead.
“If time wasn't so pressing, I'd really like to interrogate you about what Please God! is.” Shen Bei said with a cold expression: “Rest in peace.”
“No!” Luo Chengyuan let out a tragic roar.
However, Shen Bei directly squeezed him with one hand, causing his skull to shatter and his brain to burst, killing him on the spot!
Too late for resentment, too late for roaring, even too late for regret, Luo Chengyuan's world completely returned to darkness at the most intense moment of his life.
Shen Bei wasted no time, too lazy to search Luo Chengyuan's body for anything, he directly stripped off all his clothes and balled them up.
He searched Sun Bojian's corpse again, and similarly, without time to check what was there, he stuffed everything into Luo Chengyuan's clothes.
Then he swung it hard and threw it into a nearby dilapidated house.
He grabbed his phone and first called Qi Chuanyu: “I'll talk, you listen. Tomorrow, come to the west side of the county town, to this dilapidated house, and pick up a package of clothes balled up.”
“What's wrong?” Qi Chuanyu asked from the other end of the phone.
“Don't ask, just do it.”
“Okay… okay.”
He hung up the phone.
He then called Gu Changfeng: “I caught Luo Chengyuan, at Changtu West—”
Before he could finish speaking.
Shen Bei's eyelids rolled back, and he fell to the ground with a thump.
“Hello? Hello?”
Gu Changfeng's roaring voice came from the phone: “Shen Bei? Shen Bei? Changtu West Station or Changtu West Mountain, or Xichang?”
“Damn it, you should speak clearly, hello? Hello?”
