Chapter 576: Chapter 369: Fight Until Dawn, Whoever Chickens Out is a Dog

"Argh..."

The power gap between them was already immense. On top of that, Lin Li’s strength had surged repeatedly since eating the Magical Little Fruit. As a result, he grievously injured the Red Blood Gang leader with a single kick, relying on nothing but pure force.

"Help me."

The Red Blood Gang leader lay on the ground, spitting up blood. His body was in too much pain to move. Seeing the terrifying enemy approach, he scrambled to call out to his companions for help.

"Stop right there!" Seeing this, the other Red Blood Gang leaders shouted as they rushed forward, trying to save their companion—whose sternum had been shattered—from Lin Li’s grasp.

SHLICK.

Unfortunately, Lin Li was too fast, and he drove his blade straight into his target’s heart.

The Spiritual Artifact Dagger, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, pierced through the man’s heart, ending the life of the leader with the shattered sternum.

"You... How dare you?" Seeing their comrade die at Lin Li’s hands, the other leaders were enraged. The death of a peer angered them far more than the deaths of mere grunts.

"Idiots. Now that it’s come to this, what wouldn’t I dare to do?" Lin Li flicked his Spiritual Artifact Dagger to shake off the blood, then cursed at the Red Blood Gang leaders staring back at him.

"I’m going to flay you alive and drink your blood!" a bald leader roared, his eyes crimson with fury.

The Second Rank Initial Stage Spiritual Energy Wave radiating from his body surged as he unleashed his full strength.

This bald leader was more furious than the others because the man Lin Li had just killed was his sworn brother.

For so many years, they had fought against other gangs and always managed to survive unscathed.

They had made a pact to stay alive together until the day they could finally retire, but his best friend had departed first. How could he not be consumed by rage?

"Die!!!"

With a savage expression, the bald leader roared at Lin Li, brandishing his scimitar as he charged.

"Die, die, die... Just die!!!"

Slash after slash, the light of his blade a blur, the bald leader relentlessly hacked at Lin Li with his scimitar. The sheer ferocity of his assault was chilling.

Even another Cultivator of the same rank would likely be struck several times and suffer severe injuries if faced with such a ferocious assault from the bald leader at full power.

The Red Blood Gang members still believed Lin Li was a Second Rank Initial Stage Cultivator. They assumed as a matter of course that he would be cut down by the bald leader’s full-powered onslaught.

But the reality left everyone dumbfounded and horrified. After a furious assault lasting over ten seconds and involving dozens of slashes, the bald leader hadn’t even managed to graze Lin Li’s clothes.

"Too slow. Way too slow... At this speed, you couldn’t hit me if I gave you an hour," Lin Li taunted, effortlessly dodging the snarling bald leader’s attacks time and time again with simple footwork.

"Aargh..."

Unable to even graze his enemy’s clothes despite his ferocious assault, and then being openly mocked in front of everyone, the bald leader was consumed by rage and let out a furious roar.

He paused for a split second, then swung his scimitar toward Lin Li’s head with every ounce of his strength.

CLANG...

This time, Lin Li didn’t dodge. He raised his Spiritual Artifact Dagger, which glowed with a faint golden Spiritual Light, and effortlessly parried the scimitar aimed at his head. He then closed the distance in a flash and swung his arm.

SHLICK.

The bald leader, consumed by rage, froze. He let go of his scimitar and clutched his neck, a sharp pain radiating from it.

Blood gushed from between his fingers as the strength rapidly drained from his body.

He collapsed to his knees, his body swaying as his vision blurred.

GASP... GASP... GASP...

He gasped desperately for air, but none would come.

THUD.

His vision went black, and he crashed face-first onto the ground.

Having easily dispatched the frenzied enemy, Lin Li once again flicked his Spiritual Artifact Dagger to clean the blood from its blade.

Then, his gaze swept over the dumbfounded and horrified members of the Red Blood Gang as he spoke in a detached tone.

"Why are you all just standing there? Come on, let’s keep this going. The night is still young! I have plenty of time to play with you. Whoever chickens out is a dog."
