27: Chapter 27 The Terrifying Power of a Kick

Violent roars tore through the thick fog as a dense swarm of male Berserkers and fanged Mutated Beasts surged forward like a tide.

Kitchen knives slashed, steel pipes swung, and a foul, fishy wind rushed toward them.

The four of them instantly engaged in separate battles; the desperate fight for survival had fully erupted.

Chen Ye stomped his feet hard, unleashing his 55 points of Basic Speed to its full potential.

The first Berserker to charge forward brandished a kitchen knife, slashing down with a blade that glinted coldly.

Chen Ye sidestepped and slid, easily avoiding the sharp edge.

He formed a fist with his right hand, concentrating 195 points of strength at his knuckles, yet deliberately held back thirty percent of his power.

He could not use lethal force.

"Bang!" A punch slammed into the junction of the Berserker's shoulder and neck.

The precise force numbed the opponent's arm, causing the kitchen knife to fall from its grip.

Before the opponent could counterattack, Chen Ye swept his left leg, kicking accurately into the back of its knee.

The Berserker let out a miserable shriek and collapsed to its knees, instantly losing its ability to fight.

Beside him, a cat-dog Mutated Beast lunged with fangs gleaming with a cold light.

Chen Ye's eyes turned cold; he would hold back no longer.

He dodged the sharp claws, swung his right arm horizontally, and slammed his elbow heavily into the Mutated Beast's skull.

"Crack!" The sound of bone fracturing rang out. The Mutated Beast didn't even let out a whimper before collapsing limply, its life instantly extinguished.

His movements were fluid and natural, precisely countering every move the Berserkers made.

With the perfect combination of strength and speed, he showed no panic while dealing with the encirclement.

However, the Berserkers were far more troublesome than imagined.

They felt no pain and feared no death.

Even with dislocated arms or broken legs, they continued to roar and charge using their bodies.

Thanks to the enhancement of their berserk power, their strength and speed rivaled that of a first-order Mutated Beast.

As soon as one was beaten back, three more would immediately pounce; they were endless.

On the other side, Zhao Tieshan had already activated his Superpower.

His right arm swelled to three times its size, and his giant fist swept across.

Every strike sent several Berserkers flying; his attacks were the most ruthless, although they didn't seem to be fatal.

However, it was clear he had thrown his earlier fear and concern about The Authorities to the back of his mind.

Lin Qingqing twisted her slender waist, quickly formed hand seals, and a pale green shield protected her in the center.

Her tight combat suit outlined her tense curves, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead. The shield trembled slightly under the frantic impacts, demonstrating astonishing defensive power.

Zhang Lei huddled behind the shield, fully expanding his Slow Field. The movements of the Berserkers within a two-meter radius instantly slowed down, creating a breathing window for the two of them.

Yet, facing the tidal wave of attacks, all three gradually began to show signs of fatigue.

While fighting, Chen Ye scanned the nearby Puppet Woman, his mind flooded with suspicion.

Her skin shimmered with beast-like black keratin, and a long tail swayed behind her—distinctive features of beastification.

Yet she possessed the mental Berserker Superpower. How could two completely unrelated abilities appear in the same person?

Just as he was distracted, a dark green venomous barb whistled through the air, striking toward his chest when he least expected it!

"So fast!" Chen Ye's pupils constricted. His body instinctively retreated rapidly, narrowly dodging the barb with his neck.

The cold sensation grazed his skin, breaking him out in a cold sweat.

He reached behind his waist to draw his pocket knife. Looking closely, he saw that the venomous barb was actually an extension of the long tail behind the Puppet Woman, its tip glowing with a toxic, eerie light.

Missing its first strike, the long tail bent again like a nimble snake, stabbing straight at his throat!

Chen Ye gritted his teeth and slashed hard with his knife, trying to sever the long tail.

But with a crisp "Clang!" the ordinary pocket knife snapped directly!

Before he could react, the long tail whipped against his chest like a steel lash!

"Bang!" The immense force sent him flying.

His body slammed heavily into the wall of the unit door. A sharp pain surged in his chest, and the taste of blood rose in his throat.

"Damn it! The strength of this tail is terrifying. If I had a hard-edged weapon, I wouldn't be so passive!" Chen Ye clutched his chest and staggered to his feet, his face turning slightly pale.

He soon realized he wasn't the only one being attacked by the venomous barbs!

Behind the Puppet Woman, four long tails emerged simultaneously.

Like venomous snakes, they launched a frenzied assault. Zhao Tieshan, Lin Qingqing, and Zhang Lei were all entangled, finding themselves in precarious situations.

"Watch out!" Chen Ye roared a warning.

But it was a step too late.

Lin Qingqing was young, after all, and her control over her Superpower was not yet mature. The pale green shield shook violently under the fierce strikes of the long tail and was instantly pierced by the venomous barb!

"Argh!" The sharp venomous barb pierced deeply into her shoulder.

Lin Qingqing let out a painful groan, her slender body trembling slightly. Her pink lips were tightly pressed together, and her beautiful face was twisted from the intense pain.

Even worse, in the next second, her eyes were gradually covered in crimson, and her originally clear gaze became hollow and numb.

"Qingqing!" Zhao Tieshan's eyes split with rage as he rushed over, wanting to protect her.

Meanwhile, the controlled Lin Qingqing stood up expressionlessly and quickly formed hand seals.

A green shield instantly condensed before her, and she suddenly surged forward!

"Bang!" The shield slammed heavily into the rushing Zhao Tieshan. The burly man, known for his amazing arm strength, was sent flying and crashed hard to the ground.

"Holy crap! Is she being mind-controlled?!" Zhang Lei's chubby face turned pale with fright. "Getting stabbed by the barb turns you into a Berserker, but she can still retain her Superpower? That's too insane!"

Chen Ye's eyes darkened completely.

If they dragged this out any longer, things would only go from bad to worse.

"Capture the ringleader first!" Chen Ye shouted sternly.

His voice pierced through the chaotic battle. "Zhao Tieshan, link up with Zhang Lei. Use his Slow Field to clear a path and attack the Puppet Woman directly!"

Zhao Tieshan struggled to his feet. Seeing his controlled niece, his face was full of hesitation; he couldn't bear to abandon her.

"Don't hesitate!" Chen Ye scolded angrily. "Kill her, and Lin Qingqing will be able to recover!"

Each word was sonorous and powerful, shattering Zhao Tieshan's wishful thinking.

Zhao Tieshan gritted his teeth and roared, rushing toward Zhang Lei. The two moved back-to-back, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhang Lei fully expanded his Slow Field. All the rushing Berserkers and Mutated Beasts slowed down instantly. The two seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement and charged fiercely toward the Puppet Woman!

Chen Ye seized the moment, unleashing his 55 points of speed to the max. His figure moved like a phantom, bypassing the encirclement and heading straight for the Puppet Woman. He pulled out the pistol he had picked up earlier from his waist, raised his hand, and fired three shots in succession, the bullets aiming straight for the Puppet Woman's skull!

But in the next second, the controlled Lin Qingqing instantly blocked the front of the Puppet Woman, formed hand seals, and the green shield appeared once again.

The three bullets slammed hard against the shield and were deflected away!

"Controlling a Superpower user is indeed troublesome!" Chen Ye cursed under his breath.

"Do it!" Chen Ye immediately shouted.

Zhao Tieshan had already rushed to close range, his swollen giant fist carrying the force of a thousand jun, slamming fiercely toward the Puppet Woman!

As expected, the green shield appeared again, blocking this fatal blow firmly.

Now is the time!

Chen Ye's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, seizing the gap while the shield was blocking the attack.

His figure suddenly surged forward, concentrating all 195 points of strength into his right leg. His muscles tightened, veins bulged, and with overwhelming, destructive force, he kicked heavily into the Puppet Woman's waist and abdomen!

"Bang!!!"

A muffled, thunderous sound exploded!

The Puppet Woman's enchanting body was kicked flying thirty or forty meters away.

The four tails dragging behind her, like an octopus, slammed heavily into the wall of the building behind her, causing the wall to instantly crack with spiderweb-like fissures.

Her white sheer nightgown was shattered by the impact, black keratin patterns emerged, and black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

The entire scene instantly fell into a dead silence.

Zhao Tieshan's eyes widened, his mouth agape, unable to speak.

Zhang Lei's chubby face froze, his small eyes round as saucers, his face full of disbelief.

No one expected that Chen Ye, who seemed to have no Superpower and had remained low-key throughout,

could actually kick with such terrifying force!
