Chapter 648: Chapter 655: The Oddball

Watching the youth walk away, Ling Chen glanced at Zhou Jun and Song Ge beside him, and curiosity gleamed in all three pairs of eyes in unison.

"Let’s go and see." Zhou Jun was the first to speak. As soon as he said this, he immediately started moving his legs, following closely behind the youth.

Immediately, the three men sprinted in the direction the youth had left. In no time, they charged into a dense forest.

"There he is!" With keen eyes, Song Ge pointed, and the youth’s figure immediately appeared in their sight.

After pursuing for over a hundred meters, Ling Chen and his companions finally stopped, their eyes widened in astonishment at the scene before them.

In the middle of the forest, there was a mountain peak over twenty meters high. At the foot of the mountain, stood a disheveled and unkempt figure. The person was covered in ragged clothes that made him look worse off than a beggar, his face filthy, as if it hadn’t been washed in ages.

However, what was most astonishing wasn’t this, but the fact that his limbs were bound with chains as thick as arms, the other ends of the four chains each connected to the mountain.

A prisoner!

Upon seeing this, the word immediately came to Ling Chen’s mind. However, what he didn’t understand was what serious crimes this strange person must have committed to be treated in such a way.

"That chain looks like it’s about to break."

Hearing Song Ge’s words, Ling Chen fixed his gaze and indeed! One of the chains, where it connected to the mountain, was full of cracks and could break away from the mountain at any moment.

At this moment, the strange person seemed to go into a frenzy, roaring desperately and constantly moving his limbs, pulling hard on the chains.

"Keep it down."

The youth by the side uttered a soft command, his wrist flicking gently, and several steel needles flew out in an instant, closing in on the strange person. However, at that moment, the strange person’s right arm suddenly exerted force, violently pulling the chain out from the mountain.

Subsequently, he swung the chains, knocking all of the incoming steel needles away.

How impressive!

Seeing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed slightly, shock coloring his pupils like Mo Che’s.

Seeing the chains on the strange man’s right arm break free, the youth’s face instantly turned solemn, and he immediately moved back. Because the chain was ten meters long, it posed a threat to the youth. He didn’t stop retreating until he was out of the chain’s range, then he stared coldly at the strange person.

"If you don’t want to die, you’d better step back."

Hearing the youth’s warning, Ling Chen and his companions hastily backed away. noveldrama

At this moment, the strange person swung the chain in his hand, smashing it forcefully against the mountain surface, trying to crack the parts of the mountain where the chains were embedded and free his left hand and both legs.

Seeing more and more cracks forming on the mountain surface, the youth became anxious. He pulled from his bosom with both hands, and ten steel needles immediately appeared at his fingertips.

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the ten steel needles shot out in an instant.

However, the ten steel needles did not pose any threat to the strange person. With a swing of the chains, all the needles were knocked down, falling to the ground.

"What you’re doing is useless," Ling Chen offered helpfully.

"What’s your bright idea then?" the youth retorted with irritability.

"We’ll help you."

"Help me?" Upon hearing this, the youth gave Ling Chen a strange look and said, "He’s no ordinary person. You’d better stay back, lest you end up losing your lives."

Seeing the youth speak so dismissively, Zhou Jun felt irritated and snorted, "If a brat like you dares to confront him, what should we be afraid of?" With that said, and without waiting for the youth to respond, Zhou Jun lightly tapped the ground with his toes and charged straight at the monster.

As Zhou Jun approached, the monster let out a fierce roar and swung a chain as thick as an arm violently towards Zhou Jun. Watching the chain coming at him, Zhou Jun’s face instantly turned pale. Although the chain hadn’t hit yet, just the strong wind it created was enough to tell Zhou Jun that the force behind it was beyond his ability to contend with.

For a moment, Zhou Jun’s forward momentum slowed as he instinctively started to back away. But he had already come within five meters of the monster, and with the chain coming in close, there was no chance to escape.

"Be careful!"

Ling Chen and Song Ge, seeing that the situation was dire, didn’t dare to delay any longer and rushed over to provide assistance.

With a jingling sword-cry, Song Ge reached to his waist and drew out a soft sword with a chilling glint.

Just as the chain was about to hit, Song Ge suddenly increased his speed, thrusting his hand forward and entangling the chain with the body of the soft sword, halting its momentum.

However, even though Zhou Jun was saved, the monster took advantage of the situation and swung the chain again. Before Song Ge could extricate himself, the chain wound around his arm, pulling his body over.

Seeing this, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate. He instantly increased his speed to the maximum, took three steps as if they were two, and quickly reached Song Ge’s side, grabbing the chain and pulling it back with all his might.

"What are you waiting for, come and help!"

Hearing Ling Chen’s shout, the stunned Zhou Jun finally snapped out of it and urgently grabbed the chain, joining the efforts of the three of them to withstand the monster’s force.

"Hold on!"

Seeing Ling Chen and the others restraining the chain, the youth’s eyes lit up. Once again, he pulled out several steel needles from within his clothes and flung them at the monster.

But as the youth made his move, Ling Chen felt the force on the chain suddenly surge. Before they could react, an immense force traveled through the chain, pulling all three of them over.

At that moment, the chain was still wound around Song Ge’s right arm. As the monster swung its arm, it used the chain to control Song Ge’s body in a sweeping motion. In an instant, the steel needles the youth had thrown were all blocked by Song Ge’s body.

Not good!

"Brother Song!" Ling Chen’s expression changed as he caught a glimpse of the steel needles that had fallen to the ground out of the corner of his eye.

In midair, Ling Chen flipped his body and reached down with his hand, tightly grasping the steel needles. Then, he glanced at Zhou Jun behind him, pushed off from his shoulders for leverage, and with increased speed, hurled himself directly towards the monster.

At that time, the monster’s attention was still on Song Ge, not expecting Ling Chen to suddenly speed up. By the time it realized, Ling Chen was already close, wrapping his arms around the monster’s head.

Before the monster could resist, Ling Chen raised his right arm high and forcefully thrust the steel needles in his fingertips into the creature’s body.

Ah!

As the steel needles penetrated the body, the monster let out a loud scream. Suddenly, Ling Chen felt a powerful burst of Inner Strength exploding from inside out, knocking his body flying away and making him crash heavily to the ground. The pain was so intense that he grimaced and was unable to stand up for quite some time.

"Ling Chen!"

Zhou Jun hurried over, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
