321: Chapter 321 The Wolf Soul's Revenge: Just How Terrifying Is It?

Accompanied by the sound of a sonic boom.

Sparks seemed to burst in the darkness, trailing several glowing red trajectories that vanished in a flash.

Then, the eight ferocious hounds pouncing toward the target froze in their physical movements at almost the exact same second.

Immediately afterward, as if struck by a cannonball, their entire bodies exploded and shattered with a roar.

Splash—

Clusters of warm blood mists suddenly burst open, rapidly pervading the darkness.

Broken limbs and shattered internal organs, mixed with bone fragments, were scattered and splashed around like shrapnel.

The brutality of the scene caught everyone off guard.

Clatter!

A huge dog's head was thrown over, rolling and tumbling onto the ground, stopping right in front of Captain Chen Rui hiding in the dark.

That pair of still-wide-open emerald eyeballs seemed to still freeze a trace of terror and incomprehension before death.

The thick stench of blood instantly filled the entire slaughterhouse.

Captain Chen Rui's hands holding the dagger and pistol had bulging veins, and his knuckles cracked with "kacha" sounds.

He stared fixedly at the darkness ahead that had swallowed his subordinate hounds.

Trying to discern something from it.

Yet, a boulder seemed to be pressed against his chest, making his breathing somewhat difficult.

At this moment, the remaining thirty-odd ferocious hounds didn't even dare to emit a low bark.

They only tucked their tails between their legs and trembled violently; even worse, some had already lost control of their bladders, leaving a pool of liquid beneath them.

It was as if they had encountered an absolute predator at the top of the food chain, a terrifying entity capable of crushing all beastly instincts.

Outside, the howling wind swept up bean-sized raindrops.

Like countless whips, they fiercely lashed against the slaughterhouse's corrugated iron roof, doors, and windows, making a "pipalala" sound.

This dead silence lasted for several seconds.

And then.

In the darkness, a calm male voice slowly sounded:

"Your vigilance is indeed very strong."

"Up until now, you are the first person who could still perceive my existence after I actively concealed my whereabouts."

"So, choosing to treat you as the first prey seems to have been correct."

As the voice sounded, two exceptionally bright cold stars suddenly lit up in that deep darkness.

That was a pair of eyes.

Cold, sharp, and faintly tinged with scarlet, they reflected a certain Soul-captivating magic.

That gaze accurately projected toward Captain Chen Rui's hiding place, obviously having seen through his disguise long ago.

Captain Chen Rui only felt an indescribable terrifying coercion shroud down like a substance, making all the hair on his body stand on end.

He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, relying on the severe pain to break free from the opponent's Aura oppression.

"Hum!"

Captain Chen Rui let out a cold hum and stubbornly replied, "That will depend on whether you have the ability."

"Oh?"

The voice in the darkness was slightly surprised: "Could it be that you still have some hidden ultimate move?"

The tone seemed to carry a trace of excitement and anticipation.

Snap!

A pale lightning bolt suddenly tore through the rainy night.

The blinding glare passed through the dirty windows, briefly illuminating everything inside the slaughterhouse.

It also clearly outlined the silhouette of the figure standing in the pool of blood and broken limbs.

He was wearing an ordinary black hooded raincoat, with the hood pulled down very low, covering more than half of his face.

When he slowly raised his head, he revealed a young and stern face, as well as a pair of eyes glowing faintly with red light.

Rainwater mixed with blood beads constantly dripped down the brim of his hat and the corners of his clothes, gathering into a dark red puddle beneath his feet.

He clearly didn't have any weapons on him and was just standing casually, yet he gave people a terrifying sense of oppression like a fierce beast breaking into a house.

The intruder was precisely Fang Cheng.

According to the general address provided by Xu Hao's intelligence, he drove all the way and found Captain Chen Rui's hiding place.

After brief observation and ruling out potential traps, he decided to make a move.

Cleaning up those two small-fry outside was just an appetizer.

Captain Chen Rui, this senior cadre of the Noah Organization, was the true prey in tonight's hunting plan.

Facing Fang Cheng, whose tracks were completely revealed, a fierce look flashed in Captain Chen Rui's eyes.

Without any hesitation, he decisively activated his second ability.

"Roar!"

Captain Chen Rui let out a low roar unlike that of a human, his pupils instantly turning into beast-like deep green, flashing with bloodthirsty light.

"Awooo—"

The remaining ferocious hounds in the slaughterhouse seemed to have suffered some kind of strong mental stimulation, and then one after another emitted violent howls.

The muscles on their bodies rapidly bulged, and green veins coiled and burst out under their skin like coiling dragons.

Saliva mixed with fresh blood flowed down the corners of their mouths, the fear in their eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by pure madness and bloodthirst.

As if breaking free from some shackles deep within their genes, they completely unleashed their most primitive wildness.

These berserk vicious dogs no longer feared the terrifying Aura emanating from Fang Cheng.

One by one, they arched their bodies, making low threatening sounds in their throats.

Slap, slap, slap—

More than thirty muscular hounds crouched their bodies, kicked the ground fiercely with all four feet, and once again launched a desperate, fearless group charge towards Fang Cheng.

Moreover, the speed and strength they displayed were at least several times higher than before.

At the same time, Captain Chen Rui also abruptly raised the gun in his hand, the muzzle locking onto Fang Cheng tightly.

The pack of hounds roared in, a fishy wind hitting their faces.

Fang Cheng still stood in place, his expression unchanged in the face of the berserk vicious dogs pouncing from all directions.

Just at the moment when those cold-glinting fangs were about to touch his body—

His figure moved!

There were no fancy moves at all, only the simplest, most direct, and most effective punch.

Bang!

A straight punch containing terrifying explosive power hit the head of a pit bull lunging straight at him squarely.

A muffled cracking sound rang out.

That huge dog head, like a watermelon hit head-on by a high-speed truck, instantly burst open, red and white matter splashing in all directions.

Under the effect of inertia, the headless corpse still flew forward for several meters before smashing heavily onto the ground.

Squelch!

Another punch!

A Dogo Argentino attacking from the side was directly pierced through the chest by a fiercely sharp left hook.

The fist passed through from its back, bringing out a large cluster of shattered internal organs and scorching hot blood.

It didn't even have time to let out a wail before dying on the spot.

Fang Cheng's figure dodged and maneuvered through the pack of hounds, every punch precise and fatal.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Muffled striking sounds echoed endlessly, like beating battle drums or the continuous thunder exploding outside.

Those muscular vicious dogs, whose strength had doubled after berserking and who were exceptionally fierce, were as fragile as paper in front of him.

Basically, it was one punch per dog, crisp and neat, just like practicing Boxing on a punching bag in a club.

Blood, minced meat, and broken bones constantly burst open and were wantonly scattered.

The entire slaughterhouse was like it had experienced a terrifying explosion.

Some minced meat even pasted directly onto the distant wall, sliding down slowly and leaving shocking bloodstains.

The scene was bloody and terrifying, full of the most primitive and barbaric violent aesthetics.

Captain Chen Rui watched with his heart in his mouth, his pupils contracting violently.

At this moment, he finally understood what those bursting sparks he had seen in the darkness earlier actually were.

That was the trace left by the fist-swinging arm tearing the air and generating heat through violent friction.

The opponent's fist speed was already unimaginably fast, even faintly making a Breakthrough past the sound barrier to reach a realm beyond ordinary people's imagination!

But Captain Chen Rui did not stand idly by because of this; he forced himself to calm down, seized the timing, and quickly pulled the trigger.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Specially modified, immensely powerful bullets, carrying sharp whistling sounds, carved several scorching trajectories in the dark night, locking onto Fang Cheng's vital points all over his body.

However, Fang Cheng's figure was like a ghost in the dark, almost becoming a blurry afterimage.

Those bullets, which were sufficient to pierce steel plates, either brushed past the corner of his clothes and burst into dazzling sparks on the walls or metal equipment behind him,

Or were easily avoided by him with an unimaginable movement by a hair's breadth, all missing their targets.

Veins throbbed violently on Captain Chen Rui's forehead, and his complexion looked somewhat pale due to the severe consumption of Mental Energy.

Berserking a dozen specially cultivated ferocious hounds was no small burden even for an ability user of his caliber.

But he knew that the young man in a raincoat before him was the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered in his life!

Without any hesitation, Captain Chen Rui quickly pulled out a metal injection containing blue liquid from a special pouch at his waist and fiercely stabbed it into his own neck.

As the drug was injected, a cool sensation rapidly spread throughout his body.

His head, which had been somewhat drowsy due to mental consumption, instantly became exceptionally clear, and his Mental Energy was greatly replenished.

At the same time, his vision also underwent a wondrous change.

Everything around him seemed to be faintly covered with a thin halo.

Those berserk ferocious hounds appeared in his eyes as bright green light clusters, full of tyrannical life breath.

While Fang Cheng, standing in the center of the slaughterhouse, was in his eyes a fiercely burning scarlet-gold flame like a miniature sun!

That light and flame were so dazzling and eye-catching, seemingly containing unimaginable terrifying energy.

"Phantom Hound Formation!"

Captain Chen Rui concentrated his mind and gave a low shout, the deep green light in his eyes intensifying even more.

Along with the activation of his ability.

Inside the slaughterhouse, whether it was the remaining berserk vicious dogs or the corpses of the ferocious hounds just killed,

The "light clusters" on their bodies began to flash and twist violently.

The next moment, a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

The "light clusters" representing each dog began to split and replicate!

One became two, two became four...

In the blink of an eye, the number of muscular hounds, which originally only had a dozen left, suddenly skyrocketed!

They instantly transformed into hundreds of "phantom hounds" of various shapes, exuding the same tyrannical Aura, densely filling the entire slaughterhouse!

They let out deafening roars, baring their fangs, and surged toward Fang Cheng like a tide from all directions!

Although these phantom hounds composed of energy did not possess the physical attack power of real dogs, they could still emit howling sounds and make running and pouncing actions.

Moreover, the false sensory information they generated and the terrifying Aura they created

Were enough to scare anyone with slightly weaker Mental Energy out of their wits, instantly plunging them into chaos and making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Thus creating an opportunity for the real fatal move!

"Trifling tricks."

Looking at the overwhelming swarm of hounds rushing towards him, Fang Cheng's mouth curled into a disdainful sneer.

Not even paying attention to those bawling phantoms, his figure flickered, and like lightning, he directly passed through the dense "hound formation," charging straight towards Captain Chen Rui hidden in the rear.

For Fang Cheng, who possessed as high as 50 points of mental attributes and an epic-level talent, this level of sensory interference was truly no different from tricks.

Captain Chen Rui's pupils shrank abruptly.

Obviously, he hadn't expected that his proudest ability would have zero effect on the enemy.

It couldn't even hinder the opponent's movement.

He tried to raise his gun to shoot or retreat.

But Fang Cheng's speed was simply too fast!

With a flash before his eyes, an afterimage carrying a hurricane instantly spanned a distance of over ten meters, sweeping right before him.

Boom!

Captain Chen Rui only felt his chest as if heavily smashed by a giant siege hammer, and an irresistible immense force came over.

His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, successively knocking over several rusted iron racks and a pile of sundries.

Pipalala!

Various knives scattered all over the ground, making harsh impact and friction sounds.

In the end, Captain Chen Rui smashed heavily against an oil-stained wall, letting out a muffled sound.

Then he slid to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Fang Cheng withdrew his fist, looking at Captain Chen Rui, who had fallen in the corner of the wall with his chest noticeably collapsed.

With this punch, he had accumulated strength for several seconds and burst out almost all his power and speed.

It was enough to kill an adult polar bear on the spot.

This prey, Captain Chen Rui, even if his physical fitness had undergone superhuman enhancement and he wasn't killed by this, would inevitably suffer severe injuries.

However, the moment Fang Cheng was about to step forward to confirm the battle results,

He suddenly sensed a subtle, imperceptible energy fluctuation generated in the surrounding air.

These energies, as if guided by some invisible traction, were rapidly converging towards the spot where Captain Chen Rui had landed.

Immediately afterward, a suppressed muffled groan, like an injured beast, came from the corner of the wall.

In Fang Cheng's slightly surprised gaze,

Captain Chen Rui actually wobbled and climbed back up from the ground!

The terrifying injury on his chest, which was originally fatal, was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The collapsed sternum returned to its place amidst "kacha" sounds, the broken ribs reconnected, and the torn muscle tissue was also rapidly regenerating.

Not only that, but his body also began to undergo drastic superhuman changes.

The muscles bulged crazily like being inflated, even ripping apart the work clothes on his body.

Strange dark-blue blood vessels emerged on the surface of his skin, writhing under the skin like twisted earthworms.

His eyes completely turned into beast-like vertical pupils, flashing with crazy and tyrannical light.

Sharp nails instantly snapped out from each fingertip, turning into the sharp claws of a beast.

Saliva mixed with blood uncontrollably flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Heh... heh..."

Captain Chen Rui only felt as if his head was about to explode, the severe pain making him almost faint.

At the same time, the light clusters exuded from those dead hounds turned into twisted, eerie shadows, scrambling to drill into his body.

An incomparably berserk power was surging wildly through his limbs and bones.

"Wolf Soul Vengeance!"

This was his bottom-line ultimate move, and his trump card for survival in the dark world filled with cruel slaughter.

When the bred dogs were killed in large numbers nearby, Captain Chen Rui could instantly heal his own fatal injuries by sacrificing their remaining life essence, or one could say Soul energy.

Moreover, it could greatly enhance the power and speed erupted by his body.

But the price was that his consciousness would be severely eroded by those berserk beast Souls, becoming extremely unstable.

There was even a risk of completely losing control and degenerating into a beast that only knew how to kill.

Captain Chen Rui cracked an extremely ferocious smile, saliva mixed with fresh blood overflowing from between his teeth:

"Hehe... You simply have no idea just how terrifyingly strong I am right now."

"Choosing to treat me as your prey is definitely the biggest mistake you've made in your life!"

Although he was nominally a Level 7 cadre, this did not mean that his strength stopped merely there.

Had his seniority not been too shallow, his behavior too eccentric, and certain special hobbies unliked by his superiors, his status would definitely not stop here.

In terms of true combat ability, Captain Chen Rui was very conceited.

Even if Zhuo Feng came in person or the Ghost was resurrected, facing him in this state, they might not necessarily get the upper hand.

This arrogant self-confidence stemmed from his countless actual combat experiences struggling back from the edge of life and death.

Looking at Captain Chen Rui before him, whose Aura was skyrocketing and whose form was already no different from a berserk werewolf.

Fang Cheng's eyes gained a trace of excitement.

It seemed that this hunting plan was even more thrilling than expected.

He immediately twisted his neck, assumed a combat starting stance that balanced both offense and defense, and his whole body's Aura instantly climbed step by step.

Since a single punch couldn't solve it,

Fang Cheng's mouth curled into a cruel arc.

"Then, let's have a second punch, a third punch... until you are completely blasted into slag!"
