Chapter 79 Internal Strife
Chapter 79 Internal Strife
The last "release" sound exploded like a bomb, a visible sonic wave vibrating the air and blasting straight toward Li Mo's face at an extremely fast speed.
But Li Mo had worked with him for many years, and he knew every move Li Mo made by heart. As soon as the sound wave started, Li Mo slid his left leg back a step, and lowered his body to avoid the head-on impact.
Almost simultaneously, he gathered his strength in both fists and slammed them hard into the bearded man's abdomen. The powerful force penetrated the flesh and went straight into his abdominal cavity.
The moment his beard was hit, he curled up like a shrimp, his abdomen throbbed with excruciating pain, his breath was abruptly interrupted, and the explosive sound waves were completely trapped inside his body, leaving him unable to utter a single sound.
Before he could catch his breath, the remaining three pounced on him simultaneously. The bespectacled man roared, his body instantly swelled, hair grew wildly under his skin, his face and body were covered with coarse, stiff animal fur, his sharp teeth were terrifying and ferocious, and the bones in his hands bulged and transformed into sharp animal claws, which swept down towards Li Mo's head with a whooshing sound.
Li Mo fell to the ground sideways, his legs kicking the opponent's shin with all his might. However, after transforming into a beast, the opponent's physical strength doubled, and not only did he fail to kick the opponent, but the bespectacled man seized the opportunity. With two "ripping" sounds, Li Mo's right leg was torn open by sharp claws, leaving several deep, bone-revealing gashes, and blood instantly soaked through his trousers.
Li Mo reacted quickly, springing up with a somersault and creating distance between himself and the beast.
At that moment, the deliveryman on the right suddenly jerked, and countless sharp spikes instantly sprouted from his skin. The next second, the spikes detached and shot towards Li Mo in a dense barrage. Li Mo abruptly changed his footing, nimbly dodging the dense spikes and slipping through the gaps in the attack.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, a golden light flashed overhead. The last man had removed his wig, revealing a receding hairline with a bald head that shone brightly with gold. Then he charged forward, like a ramming hammer, crashing into Li Mo. Li Mo didn't dodge; he met the attack with a punch.
"Clang!" The loud sound of metal clashing against metal made the entire unfinished house vibrate. The huge recoil made Li Mo's arm go numb, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
The bearded man finally caught his breath: "Li Mo, for the sake of our past working together, I'll let you off today. Now get out of here."
"How arrogant!"
A hint of disdain flashed in Li Mo's eyes. The four men before him were all individually formidable, but their speed was lacking. Against such opponents, as long as he maintained his speed advantage, he would be invincible.
The next second, Li Mo charged into the fray, roaming the entire arena. Four men tried their best to surround him, but couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. The delivery man conjured spikes to lock onto him repeatedly, but Li Mo's movements were unpredictable, making it impossible to pinpoint his trajectory. For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand, and the situation reached a stalemate.
"Surround him! Tighten the encirclement and block him!" the bearded man roared through gritted teeth. The four immediately changed positions, tightening the encirclement to minimize Li Mo's movement space as much as possible.
As the space narrowed, his speed advantage was immediately diminished. The beast-like bespectacled man raised his claws high and swiftly brought them down. Li Mo raised his hand to block, but the wound on his right leg from the previous fight bled again, his knee buckled slightly, and he staggered.
The deliveryman's eyes lit up: "Now!"
He seized the opportunity, and dozens of sharp spikes shot out simultaneously, densely covering Li Mo's entire body. Everyone thought this attack was sure to hit.
Unfortunately, this wasn't a flaw at all, but a trap deliberately set by Li Mo. The moment the spikes left his body, Li Mo leaped out, his movements extremely agile, and in one step he flashed behind the bearded man.
The bearded man's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to turn around, Li Mo had already firmly gripped his arms, rendering him unable to move. In the next instant, Li Mo simply pulled him up and used him as a human shield.
The dense spikes arrived in an instant. The bearded man was terrified and used all his strength to unleash a sonic wave that dispersed most of the spikes, but one sharp spike still pierced through the gap and precisely stabbed into his left eye.
"Ah!" The bearded man immediately let out a pig-like scream. As the eldest of the four, he had first been punched, and then lost an eye. He was practically useless.
The deliveryman was stunned when he heard his brother's scream, and his hands stopped moving for a moment. In that instant of distraction, Li Mo decisively loosened his beard and pounced on the deliveryman like an arrow.
By the time the deliveryman reacted, it was too late. Li Mo's heavy fist slammed into his face. With a muffled thud, the deliveryman's head snapped back, blood and broken teeth splattering from his mouth and nose, before he collapsed limply to the ground.
The two had been locked in a fierce battle for a long time, but as soon as Li Mo seized an opportunity, he crippled them almost simultaneously in an instant.
The remaining two were completely enraged. The bespectacled man, now in his beast form, had bloodshot eyes and launched a frenzied attack, each strike carrying the force to tear the air apart.
Li Mo was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so he could only rely on parrying and hard-hitting, and the flesh on his arm was torn to shreds by the sharp claws.
Taking advantage of a gap in the melee, Mediterranean circled behind Li Mo and rammed into Li Mo's back at full speed.
"Pfft!" Li Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a severe injury as well. But he still used the force of the impact to propel himself forward, skimming the ground as he passed between the bespectacled man's legs.
The bespectacled man reacted incredibly quickly, grabbing Li Mo's ankle and lifting him up before snapping his massive claws shut. *Crack!*
A cracking sound rang out as Li Mo's right ankle split open, sending excruciating pain through him. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, kicking out with all his might with his left leg, which was suspended in mid-air, slamming it hard into the bespectacled man's chin.
The chin is connected to the brainstem, and this kick was incredibly powerful. The bespectacled man felt a momentary dizziness, and his grip on the chin loosened instinctively.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to escape, Li Mo immediately leaped into the air, his right hand outstretched with two fingers, using the momentum of his descent to viciously stab the man in the eyes! His fingers touched the glasses first—crack! The glasses shattered, but the force of his fingers was unstoppable. The next moment, shards of glass mixed with his fingertips embedded themselves in the bespectacled man's eye sockets. Another bloodcurdling scream rang out.
In an instant, the situation on the field completely reversed. The deliveryman lay on the ground, the bespectacled man was blind in both eyes, the bearded man was blind in his left eye, and only the Mediterranean man was left standing intact, but he was so frightened that he was stiff and dared not go forward rashly.
The bearded man clutched his bleeding eye socket, trembling all over, and roared in grief and indignation, "Li Mo! Are you going to completely betray the organization?!"
Li Mo was in excruciating pain in his right leg and could no longer support himself, collapsing heavily to his knees. Blood continued to seep from his wounds, and the internal injuries to his back made every breath painful; he was at his last gasp.
But he still looked up, his eyes chillingly cold.
"Betrayal? The real betrayers are you. You were just a bunch of desperate scum back then. It was Red Falcon, it was me, who pulled you up little by little, taught you to develop your superpowers, taught you the rules, and gave you a way to survive."
"The Red Falcon is dead, and no one's keeping you in check. You've grown too big for your britches, forgotten all the rules, and even dared to kidnap innocent civilians. You dare to talk about the organization?"
The bearded man, panting heavily, looked at himself with a mixture of fear and hatred in his eyes: "We just wanted to save Yingzi! Was that wrong?"
"Save her?" Li Mo sneered, his blood churning, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. "Isn't this just a pledge of allegiance to that Cheng Yao guy?"
The bearded man was speechless after his thoughts were exposed, but since the two sides had already fought to this extent, it was clear that reconciliation was impossible.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "No one will get away unscathed from what happened today."
The situation was now a complete stalemate. Of the four kidnappers, three were crippled and one was terrified, completely incapable of fighting again. Li Mo was also severely injured, with fractured bones, internal injuries, and unable to even stand.
