Chapter 630: Fierce Assault
Chapter 630: Fierce Assault
The moment he collided with the utility pole, Shen Le “poofed” and disappeared.
Immediately after, another Shen Le appeared on the other side of the monster, but this time he didn’t even get a chance to speak before Ling Mo took him down.
At this moment, in Ling Mo’s “field of vision,” countless mental Tentacles had already been woven into a large net with him at the center.
These Tentacles would materialize instantly at the whim of his thoughts, dealing with the emerging Shen Les.
“This is…”
“…pointless.”
“…struggle.”
“Give up.”
Several Shen Les disappeared and reappeared before they could finally piece together this sentence in its entirety.
However, what he got in return was a scornful sneer from Ling Mo: “I just don’t want to hear your nonsense anymore, idiot.”
Shen Le emerged again, but this time his face was devoid of smiles.
He looked at Ling Mo with a gloomy gaze and said, “Who did you say…”
“Idiot,” Ling Mo said to the “blown apart” Shen Le.
Next, Shen Le flashed into existence several more times, but still couldn’t outpace Ling Mo’s Tentacles.
No matter when he chose to appear or the distance from which he appeared, Ling Mo would take him down immediately, not even giving him the chance to “teleport.”
Shen Le’s complexion grew uglier, and his eyes more ferocious throughout this process.
However, Ling Mo didn’t focus solely on the contest with him; his primary target was actually the monster standing there.
“Crack, crack…” the monster clenched its fists and twisted its neck.
Before it could act, Mu Chen had already charged forward with his knife.
“Don’t be reckless!” Ling Mo had barely spoken when he saw the monster, which stood there dumbly, suddenly blur and rush towards Mu Chen at an extremely fast speed.
“Boom!”
The sound of breaking the air erupted, Mu Chen only felt a blur before his eyes, and then a dark shadow smashed toward his head.
A straightforward punch, but Ling Mo had never seen such a simple move executed with such brutality.
The monster’s instantaneous burst of power was terrifying; even from a distance, he could feel a gust of wind hitting him head-on.
If Mu Chen had been hit, his head would likely have burst open like a smashed watermelon…
Mu Chen hadn’t anticipated the foe’s speed to be so fast. In that moment, his mind went blank, and he sidestepped out of pure instinct.
The fist grazed past the tip of his nose, and before Mu Chen could even adjust his stance, he felt a heavy blow to his throat and was sent flying backward.
What kind of reflexes were these!
The monster had missed its punch but had the ability to sweep its arm horizontally in a follow-through!
Mu Chen hit the ground hard, clutching his neck, gasping with pain, coughing up a mix of blood and saliva.
But the monster didn’t stop there. As Mu Chen fell, it leaped high into the air, aiming to crush his head with the black sole of its shoe.
The heavily struck Mu Chen had no strength left to even crawl away…
Just as the shoe was about to crush his forehead, the monster suddenly swerved to the side and crashed into a utility pole.
Several figures flashed around it, and in an instant, the creature was marked with multiple wounds.
Before it could dodge, Ling Mo charged towards it, his hands moving in rapid succession.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
Its eyes were struck repeatedly, and blood burst from the left eye.
The creature screamed in agony, struggled as if breaking free from some invisible hold, and then lunged at Ling Mo.
But Ling Mo simply jumped straight up, pausing effortlessly several meters in the air.
While the creature stumbled on its feet, unable to regain balance, several more figures appeared beside it.
Hearing the creature’s screams and seeing the wounds that burst forth continuously, Mu Chen, still coughing violently, was utterly stunned.
The creature, which seemed to have no resistance, was being dominated by Ling Mo and his attacks…
Especially Ling Mo, who was a mental ability user, not only possessed excellent mental reflexes but also demonstrated formidable physical responsiveness.
From his actions, it was clear that he was intentionally using himself as bait, deliberately drawing near the creature and then relying on his extremely quick reflexive capabilities to tread on the edge of the knife.
One should know that at such a close distance, just one grab and he would be the next Xu Shuhan.
What kind of steely nerves must one have to calmly carry out such a perilous act?
Was it to protect his girlfriend with whom he was fighting side by side?
Mu Chen guessed correctly; Ling Mo was indeed doing it for that reason.
This creature was unlike ordinary zombies that focused on attacking humans… it seemed to lack any particular “interest.”
However, compared to the extremely fast Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian, who was looking for an opportunity with her gun at the ready, it was his “sluggish” human presence that was far more noticeable.
He successfully drew the creature’s attention and surrounded it with various mental disruptions and attack methods.
The creature quickly accumulated over a dozen wounds; blood and pain rapidly drove it into a frenzy.
“Ah ah ah!”
After being slashed again by Li Ya Lin and taking a gunshot to the left shoulder, the creature let out an extremely sharp scream.
The blood in its eyes darkened, and the muscles on its body began to convulse violently.
The bloody and blurred wound on its shoulder stopped bleeding at a visibly rapid rate, and the numerous knife wounds of varying depths across its body also quickly ceased bleeding.
Even amidst the twitching of its muscles, these wounds became less and less noticeable…
“This is believing in Chun-Ge
1
…” Mu Chen was taken aback.
“Come here.” Suddenly, he felt his pant leg being grabbed, and turning around in horror, he found it was Shana.
Before he could speak, his upper body, which he had just propped up, lost its support, and he was dragged backward into a corner.
“Help… help me…”
Shana tossed him next to Xu Shuhan and said, “Keep an eye on her, watch her pupils and mental state.”
“And you… cough cough…” Mu Chen asked with difficulty.
“I’m watching that person…” Shana said coldly, holding her scythe.
While Ling Mo and the others were intensely fighting the creature, there was still Shen Le…
Even though Ling Mo would deal with Shen Le the moment he appeared, it was still good to be cautious.
After the creature had stopped bleeding, it seemed to undergo even greater changes.
Its speed and strength both received substantial boosts.
Ling Mo was gradually losing his ability to restrain it, Ye Lian couldn’t find any opportunities to shoot, and even Li Ya Lin’s attacks repeatedly missed.
The creature had a sharper instinct for danger, dodging away before Li Ya Lin could attack each time she appeared beside it.
Its attacks on Ling Mo also became more ferocious, and Ling Mo felt it was getting tougher to handle.
Relying on the net formed by his mental Tentacles, he could move at speeds and in directions unimaginable to ordinary people, but the creature was able to keep up every time.
Ling Mo had just used a Tentacle to pull himself to one side when he saw the creature charging at him. He felt a chill in his heart and quickly pulled himself in another direction, but when he looked down, he saw a piece of his clothing had been torn off.
“That was close…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear.
But before he could act again, a cold breeze suddenly passed behind him.
“Clang!” Shen Le, who had just appeared again, was dispersed.
However, this time Ling Mo’s expression was different after dispersing Shen Le.
“Can attack now? No, that’s not right…” Ling Mo thought, looking around him.
Shen Le had disappeared again, but he must be hiding somewhere close, looking for an opportunity.
Ling Mo wasn’t in a hurry; the longer the fight dragged on, the more information he could gather.
In a battle between Psychics, the most important thing was to understand the opponent’s abilities.
Perhaps at this moment, Shen Le was also observing him…
“Bang!”
The creature lunged at him again, and Ling Mo instantly elevated himself, appearing behind it in the blink of an eye. A Tentacle shot out immediately.
A blood mark appeared on the back of the creature’s neck. It cried out while clutching its neck and turned to swing its arm even before it landed.
As Ling Mo leapt backward with the help of his Tentacles, he was alarmed, “Its defense has increased too; an actual attack only left a mark. What on earth is this thing?”

Believing in Chun-Ge(信春哥):
This is the abbreviated version of the phrase “Believe in Chun-Ge for eternal life”(信春哥得永生). This meme originated from Li Yuchun(李宇春), a singer who rose to fame from the Hunan Satellite TV channel in 2005. Although her singing was mediocre and her appearance androgynous, she gained a cult following. Due to her gender-neutral style and controversial championship title, netizens gave her a nickname – Chun-Ge. The phrase implies that by believing in Chun-Ge, one can accomplish anything.
