C7 I Will Cripple Your Legs

"Vice Captain Hu, are you okay?" Chu Lin quickly inquired Hu Biao's current state.

"I... I'm fine, Lord Chu Lin, don't fight him. You're not his opponent." Hu Biao said with a weak voice.

Having already suffered heavy injuries from the last battle, his injuries — although treated — had clearly resurfaced after being sent flying by Ning Feng's attack.

"Ning Feng!"

At that instant, Chu Lin recalled the moment Yu Zhen and Hu Biao had fearlessly rushed towards the horde of Blood-Thirsty Furious Ant to buy enough time for their comrades to escape.

Chu Lin could not tolerate abandoning after just because they have suffered major injuries from their heroic deeds.

"Lord Chu Lin, don't be rash."

Hu Biao exclaimed.

"Since you are not willing to hand over the Gene Drug, then I will snatch it from you with my own hands!"

Seeing how Chu Lin still did not have any intention to give him the Gene Drug, Ning Feng could not hold himself back anymore.

As long as he obtained this tube of Gene Drug, he would be able to complete his third gene chain and even successfully awaken his fourth gene chain; thus increasing his strength tremendously.

At that time, even Commander Han Dong would not be able to hold him back anymore. Furthermore, he would be able to leave this small gathering ground and move to an even greater city.

With that, Ning Feng made his move immediately. Enhancing his movements with a gush of wind, he rushed towards Chu Lin at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah! The Awakened Practitioners are fighting!"

"That young lad is surely going to suffer. How can a newly Awakened Practitioner be a match for Long Ning Feng?"

"Tsk! A newborn cub looking to face an adult lion. He's simply overestimating himself and looking for trouble."

When the people of the surrounding campsite saw Ning Feng take action, they immediately retreated far away — afraid of getting caught in the battle.

After all, a battle between Awakened Practitioners was not something that ordinary humans like them could get themselves involved in.

Since Ning Feng had awakened three gene chains dealing with the wind element, he could already control the wind with great familiarity and authority.

Every complete gene chain would give Ning Feng an additional skill.

Thus, he currently possessed two different skills of the wind element.

On the other hand, Chu Lin had not even completed his first gene chain. Not to mention his strength, he was clearly much weaker than Ning Feng. With his lack of strength and abilities, he was simply powerless when it came to facing Ning Feng.

This would certainly be a one-sided battle.

Despite Ning Feng's attack, Chu Lin stood on the spot without moving at all.

"Has he already given up? I guess it's true that he has no way of resisting against Lord Ning Feng."

"If he knew his limits, then why did he still ask for trouble? Why didn't he hand the Gene Drug over to Lord Ning Feng earlier?"

"They're about to come into contact!"

Amidst the whispers of the surrounding crowd, it seemed like they had already pictured the scene of Chu Lin being blown away by Ning Feng.

"Captain…"

When Hu Biao saw this scene, his eyes were filled with despair. If Chu Lin were to inject the precious Gene Drug into Yu Zhen, then there might be a chance for Yu Zhen to awaken his gene chain and even have a slim chance of survival.

However, this slim chance of survival was also about to be taken away. Thus, Hu Biao could only resent himself for being powerless.

"I'll let you know what true strength is."

Ning Feng dashed in front of Chu Lin and threw a punch towards his chest.

Being an arrogant, self-righteous person, Ning Feng did not see the need to use one of his skills to deal with a newbie who had just awakened. By defeating Chu Lin without the use of his skills, it would certainly teach him a good lesson.

At this precise moment, Chu Lin made his move.

With his eyes wide open, a bloodthirsty look flashed across them.

"Go to hell!"

Chu Lin shouted. Without saying anything flashy, he too threw out a punch of his own.

At that moment, the two fists collided as a great force reverberated through the air, causing all things to tremble.

*Bang!*

*Ka-cha!*

A muffled sound resounded, followed by a loud crack of one's bone. Under everyone's gazes, Ning Feng was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

"Aghhh! My hand!"

Collapsing on the ground and letting out a blood-curdling screech, Ning Feng curled up on the ground as he lost this ability and strength to continue fighting.

*Gasp!*

Everyone present was clearly stupefied as their eyes gaped with a strong sense of shock. They could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as they looked at Chu Lin — who had yet to move — in disbelief.

Having accomplished many remarkable achievements and killed dozens of Blood-Thirsty Furious Ants with utmost confidence, Ning Feng had made a name for himself as one of the strongest Awakened Practitioners in their gathering ground.

Yet today, he was actually defeated by a newly Awakened Practitioner.

Furthermore, he had only used...

A single punch!

"This... This…" Hu Biao was shocked speechless as he stared at Chu Lin with his wide-opened eyes.

When he was saved by Chu Lin on the hellish battlefield, Hu Biao had clearly witnessed the extraordinary, one-sided massacre of his battle against the Blood-Thirsty Furious Ants.

However, those Blood-Thirsty Furious Ants were surely nothing when compared to Ning Feng, a genuine Awakened Practitioner!

Even then, Chu Lin actually defeated him with one mere punch!

After hearing the loud commotion, Han Dong finally arrived at the entrance of the medical center — albeit late.

"Han Dong! Chu Lin crippled my hand! It's all your fault! Why didn't you give me the Gene Drug!"

Ning Feng looked at Han Dong and screamed hysterically with a twisted face due to the immense pain.

"Chu Lin, what's going on?" Han Dong glanced at Ning Feng before turning to Chu Lin and asked.

Han Dong was also taken aback by the result of this battle. Although he also hated Ning Feng as a person, there was no doubt about Ning Feng's strength. But Chu Lin actually managed to defeat Ning Feng?

At this point, he really could not see through Chu Lin.

"Reporting to the commander, Ning Feng wanted to snatch the Gene Drug away from me. Attacking him was merely an act of self-defense." Chu Lin said calmly.

What a clown! How dare that bastard engage in close combat with me when I have extracted the genes of a Blood-Thirsty Furios Ant and possess 200 points in strength?

Chu Lin thought in his heart.

Although his gene chain had not fully developed, it still did not stop Chu Lin from unleashing the full strength of the Blood-Thirsty Furious Ant.

Awakened Practitioners who specialize in elemental power like Ning Feng were simply a bunch of brittle creatures before he awakened his gene chains and filled his body with elemental energy.

"Is that true?" Han Dong's gaze shifted to Ning Feng.

"He's talking nonsense! Chu Lin wanted to give his Gene Drug to some piece of trash. To waste such a valuable item would be considered taboo. When I tried to stop him, he attacked me by surprise and crippled by hand!"

Standing back up on his two feet, Ning Feng covered his fractured hand as he said with a ferocious expression.

When the surrounding people heard this, they looked at Ning Feng with utter digust.

"To think that the guilty would actually plead innocent! Despicable!"

Hu Biao could not help but curse aloud and defend Chu Lin.

"Commander, it was Ning Feng who attacked first. Chu Lin was only trying to defend himself."

"Since the Gene Drug has already been given to me, it now belongs to me. How I use it has nothing to do with you. If you dare to come at me again, I will not hesitate to cripple your legs next time.

Chu Lin squinted his eyes. Instead of hesitating in Han Dong's presence, he asserted his dominance as he spoke.

"Lord Chu Lin is so manly..."

"He's so strong! To dare act so arrogantly in front of the commander!"

"Lord Chu Lin is the innocent one. He was doing everything he could in order to save Captain Yu Zhen!"

Hearing Chu Lin's words, the surrounding crowd burst into a massive uproar — all of them deeply affected by Chu Lin's bold attitude.
