Chapter 376: Chapter 372 Ling Zhu Solo Challenge

Zhang Zhongfeng’s archery skills were incredibly accurate, never missing their mark, his arrow pierced directly through Stephen’s brow. However, just like before, Stephen was completely unaffected by this fatal wound, if anything, it only made him more ferocious.

Seeing Stephen quickly approaching with his swollen legs, Hu Fei sneered, raising the detonator in his right hand and murmuring, "Let’s see if you die now!" As soon as these words fell, he pressed his thumb down, and Stephen’s head instantly exploded into a bloody mist, filling the air with a pungent stench.

After stumbling forward a few steps, the top half of his body blown open, Stephen finally lost his balance and collapsed on the ground, lifeless.

Watching Stephen motionless, Hu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he had been clever enough to attach a plastic bomb to Zhang Zhongfeng’s arrow. As the arrow pierced Stephen’s head, the plastic bomb also entered Stephen’s body. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to deal with Stephen.

"Let’s go now," urged Kaelina. The explosion just now was bound to attract the attention of the base personnel, and they couldn’t afford to delay.

Meanwhile, in the opposite direction from where Qiu Yong and the others were, Ling Chen was sprinting alone through the dense vegetation, with the frequent sounds of footsteps and gunfire behind him. More than twenty security personnel were following closely behind him, pressing onward.

"Ling Chen, we’ve already reached the safe zone. How long until you can join us?"

Kaelina’s voice came through the headset, causing Ling Chen to relax and immediately respond, "Give me ten minutes."

His mission was to distract the enemies, allowing Qiu Yong and others to escape the base. Now that the mission was completed, there was no need to waste time with these guys. Seizing the opportunity, Ling Chen set his eyes on a large tree ahead. Reaching it, he swiftly climbed to the top like a nimble gorilla, crouching on a thick branch and using the dense leaves to conceal himself.

Soon, the twenty or so security personnel who were following him passed by beneath him, continuing further ahead.

Ling Chen watched the enemies below, preparing to join Kaelina once they had moved on.

However, at that moment, his pupils narrowed, fixing on a young man at the back of the group, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

Zhu Hong!

Checking the time, Ling Chen felt a bit more settled. There was still plenty of time for him to do what he wanted. With this thought, Ling Chen reached behind his waist, pulled out a sharp dagger, and held it between his fingers, his intense gaze now locked on Zhu Hong’s nape.

When Zhu Hong passed by the tree, Ling Chen seized the opportunity without hesitation and flicked his wrist slightly. The sharp dagger was thrown straight at Zhu Hong’s vital spot.

But just as the dagger was about to pierce Zhu Hong’s nape, Zhu Hong, who was running swiftly, suddenly turned around, raising his arm quickly.

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the flying dagger was struck by the pistol in Zhu Hong’s hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Chen was taken aback, surprised by Zhu Hong’s quick reflexes. He had never known him to have such agility before; had he been hiding his skills all this time?

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet whizzed past Ling Chen, flying through the dense branches and leaves.

Without time to think further, Ling Chen immediately jumped down from the branch, exerting force with his legs and diving towards the grass ahead. Under the cover of the night, Ling Chen bent over, avoiding Zhu Hong’s searching gaze, and quickly headed towards Kaelina and the others’ location.

However, after sprinting a hundred meters, Ling Chen realized that Zhu Hong was still following close behind, maintaining a distance of about thirty meters. No matter how Ling Chen changed his route, he couldn’t shake Zhu Hong off. The latter seemed to be clinging to him like a persistent parasite.

Ling Chen frowned slightly, Zhu Hong’s sudden display of abilities was beyond his expectations. Had he known that guy had such impressive skills, he wouldn’t have stirred up trouble, leaving himself without a chance to escape.

Bang!

Another shot.

The bullet landed exactly where Ling Chen had just stepped. Ling Chen secretly felt shocked; even he admitted the gunmanship was precise.

Bang! Bang!

Two consecutive shots, both skillfully dodged by Ling Chen. At the same time, during his sprint, Ling Chen abruptly stopped, turned around, and faced Zhu Hong, who was chasing him.

All this while, Ling Chen had been carefully counting the number of shots Zhu Hong had fired. With his experience and knowledge of firearms, Ling Chen knew Zhu Hong’s ammunition was depleted. If it weren’t for witnessing Zhu Hong’s accurate shooting, he would have confronted Zhu Hong directly much earlier.

Seeing the still figure ahead, Zhu Hong immediately slowed down, and walked step by step towards it.

As the distance between them gradually closed, Zhu Hong finally saw clearly the face of that figure, and his expression darkened instantly.

"Ling Chen!" Zhu Hong gritted out the words through clenched teeth.

"Didn’t expect it to be me, did you?"

"Indeed, I thought you were dead."

Ling Chen smiled slightly: "You aren’t dead, how could I possibly be?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the gun in Zhu Hong’s hands, his lips curling slightly: "Honestly, I’m surprised; turns out you’ve been hiding your skills in front of me all this time."

"You’re wrong, I never hid myself."

Hearing this, Ling Chen was slightly startled, as if realizing something, and his doubts were immediately resolved.

"Did you inject an enhancement drug?"

"You guessed half right," Zhu Hong sneered. "I owe my success today to you."

Ling Chen, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

"When you’re close to death, I’ll tell you," Zhu Hong said, and without waiting for Ling Chen to respond, he threw away his gun, took off his jacket, revealing his muscular upper body.

"You think you’re so strong? Let me see for myself. Let’s find out whether you are stronger or I am superior."

Faced with Zhu Hong’s challenge, Ling Chen didn’t say a word and stepped towards Zhu Hong. Approaching him, Zhu Hong’s eyes turned fierce, and with a powerful leap from the ground, he aimed a punch from above down towards Ling Chen’s head.

As the punch came, Ling Chen crossed his arms in front of his forehead, resisting Zhu Hong’s punch forcefully. Suddenly, Ling Chen felt his body slightly waver, nearly losing his balance.

Such incredible strength!

Ling Chen looked up at Zhu Hong, a flash of amazement in his eyes. He had purposely taken Zhu Hong’s hit head-on to test his strength, but he hadn’t expected his opponent’s power to be so immense.

Unsuccessful with the first strike, Zhu Hong did not back down. His fists, fast and furious, flew one after another in quick succession, continuously striking out and completely taking the initiative.

Ling Chen held his breath and focused, dodging the punches coming from Zhu Hong, moving left and right. After more than ten punches, Zhu Hong hadn’t even touched the edge of Ling Chen’s clothes, all his punches missing the mark.
