Raphael was different from Kong Hua.
Kong Hua’s Rock Giant was formed from a combination of his Superpower and the unique abilities of his Giant Rock Demon Body.
Therefore, as long as its core wasn’t damaged, it couldn’t be truly injured; it would only consume the Energy within his body.
But Raphael was different. Both his Superpower and his Divine Demon Body were enhancements to his own being. This 10-meter-tall giant bear was, in fact, his true form, so any wound that appeared on its body was a real injury.
He and Kong Hua had fought for so long in the secret passage without getting hurt, yet now, because of Lin Xinghai, he had been genuinely wounded. How could he not be furious?
Raphael whipped his head around to look in Lin Xinghai’s direction. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to tear him to shreds.
However, what met his gaze was not Lin Xinghai’s terrified expression, but two dark, gaping muzzles and bullets being spat out at a bizarre speed.
Raphael didn’t understand how the rate of fire from the two Firearms in the man’s hands could be so high, but when he saw Lin Xinghai swap in a new magazine and open fire again, his heart immediately sank.
This time, however, with his previous experience, he reacted much more quickly. Knowing his opponent could control the bullets’ flight path, he didn’t waste energy on a pointless dodge.
He immediately used his Blood Qi Power to protect his eyes and other vital areas. At the same time, he switched from offense to defense, bracing for Kong Hua’s counterattack.
Admittedly, his response was effective. Although the bombardment of over a hundred Armor-Piercing Bullets caused a massive drain on his Blood Qi Power, making it stagnate for a moment, he wasn’t injured this time because he had been prepared.
Of course, while he hadn’t sustained any new wounds, it was far from pleasant. The Rock Giant had hammered his chest twice, and a dull ache was unavoidable.
At this moment, however, Raphael’s focus wasn’t on Kong Hua at all. After taking two of his opponent’s heavy punches, he used the momentum to pull back and retreat.
And a hundred meters behind him was Lin Xinghai’s position.
’Once I get my hands on him, I won’t kill Lin Xinghai with a single swat. I’m going to break every single bone in his body. Only that will be enough to vent this hatred in my heart.’
To avoid being stopped by Kong Hua, Raphael broke into a mad dash after pulling back. One step, two steps, three steps—each stride covered twenty to thirty meters.
Logically, he should have been able to cross the hundred-meter distance and reach Lin Xinghai in just four or five steps.
But he soon discovered, to his astonishment, that the distance between himself and Lin Xinghai wasn’t shortening at all.
"How is this possible!" Raphael’s face was filled with disbelief as he watched the speed Lin Xinghai had unleashed.
But his only answer was another volley of 100 Armor-Piercing Bullets from Lin Xinghai.
BANG!
Kong Hua’s Rock Giant form cooperated perfectly, viciously punching Raphael in the back.
At that moment, Raphael felt a sweet, coppery taste rise in his throat, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This was partly from taking Kong Hua’s heavy punch, and partly from sheer anger at Lin Xinghai.
He had truly never imagined that he would one day suffer such a huge loss at the hands of a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist, with no way to retaliate.
At this point, he also remembered what Lin Xinghai had said in the secret passage.
Before, he had thought it was absurd. How could a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist possibly kill three Body Shaping Realm experts?
But now, after witnessing his terrifying Speed and bizarre Gun Technique, he had to admit that the man might actually be able to do it.
As he thought of this, his expression grew even darker.
RAT-A-TAT-TAT!
But Lin Xinghai had no time to care about what his opponent was thinking. As soon as a magazine ran dry, he would immediately swap it for a new one and prepare for the next volley, creating better attack opportunities for Kong Hua.
However, what neither Kong Hua nor Raphael could have imagined was that Lin Xinghai felt no pride or complacency in his heart. Instead, he felt a wave of frustration.
It was only when truly facing a Divine Demon Realm expert that he realized just how weak and powerless he was.
If he were to face a Divine Demon Realm expert alone, he estimated that he would have no other choice but to flee.
A hundred Armor-Piercing Bullets hitting an enemy at once, in terms of sheer Power, was actually not inferior to a full-strength blow from someone in the Body Shaping Realm Late Stage.
But for a Divine Demon Realm expert, such an attack could only cause their Blood Qi Power’s circulation to stagnate for a moment; it wasn’t even enough to cause any damage.
As for his strongest attack, combining Thunderstorm with the Thunder Grid, he didn’t dare use it at all. After all, if he got close, even the slightest touch from his opponent would leave him crippled, if not dead.
Moreover, even with that attack, unless he hit a vulnerable spot like the eyes, he probably couldn’t break through the Defense of a Divine Demon Body, even if his opponent stood still and let him attack the rest of their body.
’I’m still too weak,’ Lin Xinghai lamented inwardly.
He had already made up his mind. After he completed this mission and returned to the academy, he wouldn’t go out again until he broke through to the Body Shaping Realm.
Even for the weekly school missions, he planned to just stick to the city next to East Sea Base and kill a few Ordinary Zombies to meet the requirements.
Of course, regardless of what he was thinking, his hands never stopped moving. Swapping magazines, firing, swapping again, firing again—the motions were almost perfectly repetitive.
And the magazines in his combat backpack were dwindling at a terrifying rate.
He had already started considering the problem of how he could assist Kong Hua after he ran out of bullets.
But he soon discovered he no longer needed to worry about it, because Raphael was running away.
Although Raphael had been trying to escape before, it hadn’t been a desperate flight. He had been looking for an opportunity to injure or even kill Kong Hua before making a composed departure.
But perhaps the threat posed by Lin Xinghai had become too great, causing him to change his plan entirely. He was no longer engaging with Kong Hua, but simply fleeing with complete abandon.
And this time, he was truly desperate. He unleashed some unknown ability, and the surface of the once grayish-black giant bear began to glow with a blood-red color.
In this state, Raphael’s Speed, Power, and other attributes were all greatly enhanced.
His Speed, originally over 20,000, instantly surged to over 30,000.
"This is bad!" Seeing this, Kong Hua grew anxious and could only give chase with all his might.
A veteran Divine Demon Realm expert like him also had trump cards for survival, but his abilities were all focused on enhancing his Defense Power, offering no boost to his Speed.
So he could only watch helplessly as Raphael quickly pulled away from him—one kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers.
As his opponent began to vanish from sight, Kong Hua, though filled with bitter reluctance, could only slow his pace in defeat.
Now, his only hope was that the subsequent search operation could find him, but he knew the chances of that were slim to none.
Just then, Lin Xinghai, who was pursuing him from behind, shouted, "General Kong, I have a way to help you catch up to him!"
