Capítulo 214: Chapter 214: Side-to-Side Hops, Here I Come
"What's this kid trying to do?" Qin Han stared, wanting to roar, Run, kid, run for us! What the hell are you doing? The evil being in front of you is terrifying! Nine City Guardian-level experts like us aren't its match! You're courting death!
But he dared not shout. He was afraid of provoking the evil being, fearing it would swat Lin Fan dead with a single blow.
"Brother Qin, don't worry about me, save him first," Li Dacheng said.
He wasn't in good shape. As a City Guardian-level expert known as "Dual Gun King," being beaten to the point of vomiting blood in just a few moves against the evil being was unacceptable. Honestly, he would rather live in a dream than believe this was real.
It was too much of a blow. For a strong person like him, it was a humiliating loss of face.
Qin Han was racking his brains. His expression was grave as he observed the evil being, searching for an opportunity. It was difficult to act now; having fought the creature, he knew how powerful it was.
Its strength, speed, and vigilance were all formidable. Rescuing Lin Fan from the evil being was a difficult task, and he knew the slightest mistake could cost him his life.
"What to do?"
"What should I do?"
Consumed by anxiety, even with his mind racing, Qin Han couldn't come up with a solution. He could only stare, unsure of what to do. His initial plan was simple: reach Lin Fan as quickly as possible and drag him away… wait, running was impossible. In this situation, how could he abandon his comrades?
He would stay here, even if it meant death.
The evil rooster clutched in Lin Fan's arms was utterly terrified, not even knowing what to say.
"Cluck, cluck… (Don't be impulsive, own forces! I'm undercover, I'm an Evil Hero!)" the evil rooster crowed at the evil being.
Its meaning was clear: Could you be a little nicer to me? I'm the freaking Evil Hero! If you have any respect for heroes, surrender. Better yet, turn around and leave, and I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, when I return to the evil community and gloriously ascend to the Evil Hero throne, I will unleash the wrath of the evil masses upon you with a torrent of spit.
Lin Fan stroked the rooster's head, saying calmly, "Rooster, don't be impulsive. You're not its match. Leave this battle to me. Go wait for me with Old Zhang."
The evil rooster was dumbfounded. What are you saying? Impulsive? It realized that stupid humans never got smarter. It was just negotiating, nothing more. As the Evil Hero, it didn't want to attack its own kind.
But it hoped its own kind wouldn't force its hand. Even if it appeared humble in front of humans, if truly angered, it would unleash a terrifying attack.
This was the Evil Hero's final announcement.
"Cluck, cluck… (I'm just undercover with this human. I brought him here. Do what you will with him; it has nothing to do with me.)" The evil rooster made its stance clear.
Then, as Lin Fan set it down, it flapped its wings and scurried away, heading straight for Old Zhang.
The situation was indeed precarious. However, Lin Fan's strength made the evil rooster hesitant.
So, it didn't leave. It waited. If the scales tipped in favor of the evil being, it would flee without hesitation, leaving nothing but dust.
If the stupid human won, it would remain the humble undercover agent within human society.
Business as usual. As long as it continued laying five eggs a day, it would remain the most valuable pet in human eyes.
"You have a tall stature, handsome armor, and a powerful aura. I know you're strong, and I enjoy fighting strong opponents."
"I am Lin Fan. Please enlighten me."
Lin Fan looked up, cupping his hands in a gesture he'd learned perfectly from movies. He exuded the spirit of a martial artist. If his lips curled into a fierce grin, it would resemble… a younger Feng Yuxiu.
The evil being looked down at Lin Fan, its eyes glowing with an eerie red light from within its helmet. It swung its halberd down at Lin Fan's head.
"Run!"
"Move!" Qin Han and Li Dacheng yelled.
They couldn't bear to watch what they imagined would be a gruesome scene.
However…
What happened next wasn't what they expected.
Lin Fan stood his ground, punching the halberd. His flesh-and-blood fist collided with the sharp blade, but instead of gore, there was a dull thud and a shower of sparks.
A terrifying force erupted. The ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand the impact, cracking and spreading in all directions.
Qin Han gaped, utterly shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to withstand such a terrifying blow from the evil being with his bare hands.
He wasn't the only one stunned. Li Dacheng was speechless, only able to point at Lin Fan, his gesture clearly conveying, This is insane!
"I underestimated him," Qin Han said shamefully. He had previously doubted Lin Fan's strength, thinking Chief Xu had exaggerated.
Now it seemed Chief Xu hadn't exaggerated at all.
"Same here," Li Dacheng sighed. A flicker of hope ignited within him. Perhaps the situation wasn't as dire as they thought.
The evil being, expressionless, made a surprised sound, shocked by the human's strength. Not only was he unharmed, but he had also blocked its halberd strike.
"Human, you are strong." The evil being spoke, much like the evil cockroach demon, capable of human speech. This was unbelievable to Qin Han and the others. It wasn't that they hadn't encountered talking evil beings before.
But those capable of speech had been terrifying, causing devastating damage to human cities.
"Not bad, you're strong too." Lin Fan stretched, hopping from side to side, assuming a fighting stance learned from movies. He thought the fight scenes in films were cool, just a bit slow.
"Here I come."
Side-to-side hopping Lin Fan warned the evil being. With a bang, dust billowed from the ground as he vanished, moving at incredible speed, his figure difficult to track with the naked eye.
Boom!
Boom!
His speed was so great, his footfalls so rapid, that they created a continuous series of dull thuds. Like a rapidly beating heart, the increasing speed brought a sense of oppressive pressure.
Qin Han and Li Dacheng searched for Lin Fan's figure.
They couldn't see him. And that was precisely what terrified them the most. That they, with their strength, couldn't see him meant he was unbelievably fast.
