70: My boss is a shepherd!

"Hiss! This Shen Bei's strength... seems even fiercer than Lei Laohu's!"

"It's incredible! Lei Laohu has more combat experience, how can he be beaten so badly by a new Martial Artist?"

"Just now... what kind of potion did Lei Laohu take?"

"I don't know what it's called, but Lei Laohu once boasted about it, saying it was worth over 3 million!"

"What! For 500 yuan, he took a potion worth over 3 million? This..."

"Heh heh, do you even need to ask what kind of personality Lei Laohu has? He'd rather lose his pants at the casino than give a single cent to a laborer."

...

The workers in the distance discussed animatedly, facing the changing situation on the battlefield.

They couldn't wrap their heads around it.

Lei Laohu, whom no one ever dared to provoke, was actually forced to take drugs by Shen Bei!

At this moment.

Lei Laohu took the potion.

The decadent aura from being beaten by Shen Bei earlier was swept away.

This was Lei Laohu's trump card all along: Super-Modified Adrenaline!

It came from the famous Headhunter Tribe organization!

It was a regenerative gift given to him by a Headhunter Tribe member active in Lingnan City!

This potion's preciousness was almost on par with the "Night Demon" potion used exclusively by Nine Lives Raven.

Unlike ordinary adrenaline, its effect is to greatly enhance the user's vitality, neural response, and cellular metabolic rate in a short period, not only significantly increasing the user's strength, reaction, and speed in a short time.

At the same time, it can quickly repair injuries on the user's body, causing his combat power to skyrocket!

The only drawback is that its effect only lasts for about ten minutes, and after the effect ends, the user will be completely exhausted and at the mercy of others.

However, such a drawback was nothing to Lei Laohu.

Lei Laohu's personality was just that stubborn.

No one should try to break his rule of not paying laborers.

This was his bottom line!

Anyone who dared to defy or trample on it, Lei Laohu would surely retaliate!

Even if it meant death!

Under the deep-seated hatred, facing Shen Bei, a formidable enemy who had suppressed him, he unhesitatingly used this trump card, confident that he could end everything in the shortest possible time!

Without another word, the two entangled again.

The entire factory's workshops and buildings collapsed with a rumble as the two fought.

From inside the factory, they fought their way out to the barren land outside.

And this time, Shen Bei truly felt the pressure Lei Laohu brought.

He was almost being chased and beaten!

"Speak! Do you still want your wages!"

Lei Laohu burst into wild laughter, the Qi under his feet suddenly exploded, transforming into an overwhelming force that propelled him to charge head-on towards Shen Bei, stirring the air, and unleashing a punch!

"Damn it!"

Shen Bei was somewhat disheveled, his expression constantly changing, his eyes showing no hint of ease, but instead filled with deep solemnity.

Initially, Shen Bei thought Lei Laohu was just on the same level as Bai Luo of the Apocalypse Cult.

Now, looking at him... he had underestimated him.

Taking drugs really makes him strong!

A huge booming sound suddenly erupted from Shen Bei's waist.

He took one step, covering seven steps.

It was precisely the "Seven Stars Steps"!

That was the sound produced when he instantly inhaled, bent his body, and punched, his inhuman strength and speed directly bursting the air.

"Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper!"

Then, Shen Bei's explosive kick, in the nick of time, struck like lightning against Lei Laohu's incoming spring-loaded iron fist!

Boom!

One big and one small, one punch and one kick collided again, like a grenade exploding in mid-air.

The spring arm on Lei Laohu's hand was completely shattered, and within a few meters radius around the two, all debris and stones on the wilderness suddenly bounced up, then were blown in all directions by the rapidly exploding violent wind.

Thump, thump, thump.

His muscles and bones exploded, Shen Bei's internal organs vibrated, his throat felt sweet, and he retreated several large steps.

But Lei Laohu only grunted, retreating merely three steps!

After this direct clash of a punch and a kick, the comparison of strength between the two had completely reversed; in a power struggle, Shen Bei had actually fallen into a disadvantage!

However, immediately after, although his entire body's muscles, bones, and internal organs were subjected to massive shock, Lei Laohu's recovery was undoubtedly faster!

"Hmm? One step out, seven steps away? Why does that feel familiar..."

Lei Laohu tilted his head, suddenly remembering something, and with a flick of his arm, the spring reattached: "What Martial Skill is this? What is its relationship with Seven Stars Fist?"

Shen Bei was suddenly stunned by the question.

Wait—

How did Lei Laohu know about Seven Stars Fist?

This shouldn't be!

At Taiyangshan Reservoir, there was no fourth person at all.

Shen Bei's tone was extremely severe, and he growled, like spitting ice shards: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Heh heh." Lei Laohu raised his head, his gaze like sharp thorns: "My big brother lost something, and I just happened to hear about it, something about taking one step and covering seven steps. Tell me, did you take the Seven Stars Fist? I can make an exception and settle your wages."

"Who is your big brother?"

"Headhunter Tribe Shepherd!"

Shen Bei's eyes changed.

Shepherd?

Why him again!

The last time he heard about this person was from Gu Changfeng.

"My big brother said that Fang Ming once saw the first move of the Seven Stars Fist, but before he could master it, he was hunted down by Luo Chengyuan and eventually fell."

"And the characteristic of the first move is taking one step and covering seven steps."

"Also, the Tianqi Divine Sect never obtained the Seven Stars Fist."

Shen Bei snorted: "You're overthinking it, other Martial Skills can achieve the same."

"Yes." Lei Laohu's eyes grew even hotter: "But you... are very suspicious."

At this moment, a sinister smile hung on Lei Laohu's face, covered with strange patterns. While Shen Bei was still confused, he spread his five fingers and pounced!

"No matter if you're the one who stole the Martial Skill, surrender to me first!"

As he spread his five fingers, one could vaguely see five faint blue lights seemingly spewing from his fingertips.

The sharp blue light vibrated, cutting through the air, emitting a soft hissing sound as it went straight for Shen Bei's throat.

The timing of this strike was exceptionally precise, hitting exactly when Shen Bei's old strength had not dissipated and new strength had not yet emerged.

And judging by the eerie and fierce blue light spewing from this claw, one had no doubt that even a thick steel plate could be pierced through!

"I'll catch you first, then we'll interrogate you slowly!"

There was no time to dodge, in this extremely dangerous moment.

Shen Bei's eyes, however, flashed with a fierce light; instead of retreating, he advanced.

"Seven Stars Steps!"

Whoosh!

Shen Bei's figure disappeared in the opposite direction.

He suddenly appeared behind Lei Laohu.

At this moment, Shen Bei quickly pulled out qi and blood pills, not even looking, nor counting how many there were, and poured them all directly into his mouth.

A large amount of Qi and blood instantly began to boil.

Like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years suddenly erupting.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Bei's chronic ailments were gone, and he returned to his most perfect state.

"You dog, if I still can't beat you to death like this, I lose!"

He must die!

Lei Laohu must die!

He had already groundlessly guessed that the Seven Stars Fist was on him.

Despite no hard evidence.

But Shen Bei also didn't want to attract the attention of the Apocalypse Cult and the Headhunter Tribe at this stage.

Kill him, silence him!

Boom!

Wind and Qi surged wildly, and Shen Bei once again unleashed "Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper," smashing down between Lei Laohu's arms.

Lei Laohu's eyes suddenly bulged, his left leg uncontrollably bent sharply, his right foot abruptly retreated a step, feeling as if he had been struck by a mountain, and in an instant, blood vessels burst in his pale eyes!

"You motherfucker—"

Lei Laohu let out a silent roar internally.

At this instant, as if struck on the head by a pile driver, Lei Laohu's already not fully recovered body trembled wildly, his Qi and blood seemingly scattered by Shen Bei's kick.

His bones, muscles, and even every single hair trembled under the unbearable weight, feeling as if he was carrying a mountain!

However, Shen Bei in front of him paid no attention to his internal turmoil at this moment, looking down at Lei Laohu, whose veins were bulging and face was distorted:

"Again!"

As his voice rang out, Shen Bei followed Lei Laohu's retreat with a step forward.

Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper!

Anyway, with qi and blood pills to replenish Qi and blood, just go all out!

The airflow generated by Shen Bei's kick exploded like a blast of wind, and he fiercely slammed down again!

There was no gap between these two bombardments; Shen Bei's kick had just vanished like lightning, and the next kick was already chopping down. Under the violent tremor of his entire body, Lei Laohu had no choice but to grit his teeth, his veins bulging, and continue to parry and block.

Boom!

Another loud bang! His arms were in excruciating pain, and a fierce gust of wind blasted Lei Laohu's face.

His face was crimson, he gritted his teeth tightly, his body shook violently, cracking and popping. At the same time, under the violent tremor, scarlet blood snakes gushed out from his mouth, eyes, ears, and nostrils, flowing down, making his face terrifyingly like a vengeful ghost.

Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!

Even the miraculous repair effect of [Super-Modified Adrenaline] couldn't keep up with the accumulated damage he was currently suffering, and the bones and internal organs in his body that hadn't fully healed ruptured again, making his injuries even worse.

Like the great waves of the Yangtze River, before one wave recedes, another rises.

Staring at Lei Laohu, who was continuously retreating and forced to endure his pounding and smashing, Shen Bei laughed wildly, retracting his powerful Martial Skill.

Like a solid iron pillar, he punched down again, extremely fast and extremely fierce:

"Again!"

Boom!

"Again!"

Boom!

Shen Bei's continuous pounding speed was faster than lightning, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind that savagely struck Lei Laohu's bloodied face, causing countless blood droplets to splatter.

Loud bangs constantly exploded in his ears, like bombs exploding on his head and between his arms. Lei Laohu's muscles were torn, his internal organs ruptured, and he was already having difficulty breathing and was deaf!

His vision was entirely crimson, his mind blank, all hatred, resentment, and information had vanished, everything reduced to emptiness.

Under the intense pain, his consciousness was already blurred.

Only his body's instincts were controlling him to feebly resist the storm-like bombardment.

At this moment, a bellows-like breathing sound came from his throat; despite suffering such terrifying injuries and blows, Lei Laohu still did not die immediately.

His Qi was like a faint wisp, blood snakes streamed down from his seven orifices, his face becoming terrifyingly grotesque. His head moved with extreme difficulty and effort, seemingly trying to lift: "I, I was wrong, I'll give you your wages..."

Saying that, he pulled out 500 yuan and threw it on the ground.

Shen Bei's face was full of fierce smiles, and he said feigning: "No, you don't know you were wrong, but you know you're going to die."

Begging for mercy is useless!

He must die!

Shen Bei's final kick completely blew up his head, splattering brains everywhere!

Shen Bei picked up the wages, his gaze gradually calming down.

He took one last look at Lei Laohu, then turned and walked towards the factory.

Shen Bei knew in his heart that trouble was coming for him.

But not because of Lei Laohu.

But because of the fight with Bai Luo at the highway service area.

He would definitely... be on the suspicion list of the Headhunter Tribe and the Apocalypse Cult.

"Hoo~~"

Shen Bei exhaled a bloody breath.

He muttered to himself: "I need other Martial Skills to protect myself; I absolutely cannot use the Seven Stars Fist unless it's a last resort..."
