Chapter 290: Chapter 239: Why Is This Different From What I Imagined?

’What the hell! I already pinged him. Why is that guy still running over there? Doesn’t he know there are enemies?’

While playing the mobile game National Shooting, Lin Li saw a notification that his random teammate had been killed. He couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, then went back to camping in the bushes, waiting for the circle to close.

"So it really is you. I thought I’d have to wait until after I escaped, maybe a year or so for things to die down, before I’d get my chance at revenge. The heavens are truly smiling on me!"

A voice filled with hatred and excitement suddenly rang out. Lin Li, still engrossed in his game, heard it and looked up in confusion toward the source of the sound.

Four men were glaring at him menacingly, their intentions clearly hostile. He didn’t understand why these people were looking at him with such unfriendly eyes.

The next moment, it clicked.

His gaze fell upon one of the four: a big, bald man who stood one-point-nine meters tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and corded muscles.

Lin Li chuckled. "Well, would you look at my luck? I just find a random place to digest my food and play a game for a bit, and I run into an escaped convict and his cronies."

As he spoke, Lin Li locked his phone, put it back in his pocket, and rose from the bench to face the four men who clearly wished him harm.

In that instant, his presence was in no way inferior to theirs.

"You bastard! Last time, it was because you stuck your damn nose where it didn’t belong that I got caught by the Investigators from the Superpower Administration Bureau," Tie Qiu Heng cursed at Lin Li, his voice dripping with hatred.

"Heh... You say I stuck my nose in it? If you hadn’t tried to steal my car, I wouldn’t have given a damn about you.

"Then again, even if I had known you were a target the Investigators were hunting, I still would have stopped you.

"Bottom line is, you deserved to be thrown in jail," Lin Li retorted with a calm expression and a slight smile.

"Fuck," Tie Qiu Heng, left speechless by Lin Li’s comeback, could only spit out another curse.

"And these three must be the accomplices who helped you break out of prison this time! They look decent enough, yet they get involved in things like this."

Lin Li ignored the furious Tie Qiu Heng, his eyes sweeping over Liu Ke, Wang Tao, and Xiaoli.

In contrast to the enraged Tie Qiu Heng, Liu Ke and Wang Tao were inwardly calm.

They watched the young man before them with a hint of surprise. He clearly knew they were here for revenge.

Yet, he wasn’t the least bit flustered. Instead, he was calmly trading barbs with Tie Qiu Heng. This level of composure truly made them feel that this person was someone special.

As the one with the lowest status among the four, Xiaoli saw Lin Li insulting the three big shots of his organization. Eager to suck up, he immediately roared at Lin Li, "You’re dead meat today, kid!"

Lin Li shot a sideways glance at Xiaoli and retorted, "What’s this monkey doing here? Shouldn’t you be in a zoo instead of running around screeching in the middle of the night?"

Xiaoli, who had a weaselly, monkey-like face, hated it most when people called him a monkey. Lin Li’s casual remark hit a sore spot, and he instantly flew into a rage.

"Sirs, let’s hurry up and do it! Let’s kill this guy and dump him in the river."

Xiaoli knew that Lin Li was a Second Order Middle Stage Exotic Beast Hunter, and now he had been publicly humiliated by him.

He didn’t dare to make a move on Lin Li himself; he could only hide behind the others’ power and urge Liu Ke and the other two to attack.

Liu Ke, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke. "Remember what I said... Make it quick. We can’t let this delay our escape plan."

The moment his voice fell, Tie Qiu Heng, who had been itching to attack Lin Li, mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian and unleashed his awakened Superpower.

Once the ’Body Multiplication’ Superpower was activated, Tie Qiu Heng, originally one-point-nine meters tall, shot up in size, transforming into a two-and-a-half-meter-tall giant.

Lin Li, who had fought Tie Qiu Heng before, showed no surprise on his face as he watched his opponent transform into a giant.

"Die, you bastard!" Burning with rage, Tie Qiu Heng let out a great roar and charged toward Lin Li.

His massive body kicked up a gust of wind as he ran, creating an overwhelming, unstoppable visual impact.

An ordinary person, faced with such a charge from the giant-sized Tie Qiu Heng, would likely have been scared into collapsing on the spot.

BAM. As Tie Qiu Heng charged at Lin Li, his vision suddenly blurred. A figure had appeared right in front of him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Immediately after, a powerful force struck his chest, sending him flying backward to crash heavily onto the ground.

Liu Ke and Wang Tao, who had been about to follow Tie Qiu Heng and surround Lin Li, were stunned into a standstill by this sudden turn of events.

About to rush forward, the two of them instinctively froze.

’So fast. How can he be this fast? Don’t tell me he awakened a Speed Superpower in addition to his Flame Superpower?’

Liu Ke and Wang Tao stared in utter astonishment at Lin Li, who had just sent Tie Qiu Heng flying with a single kick, their minds filled with deep confusion.

Xiaoli, who had been cheering from the sidelines, was so frightened when he saw Lin Li send Tie Qiu Heng flying that he subconsciously stumbled back a few steps.

After all, his cultivation level wasn’t high. If he got involved in a battle between these Second Order Cultivators, he’d probably be taken out with a single punch.

The battered Tie Qiu Heng scrambled up from the ground, his face a mask of shock and suspicion as he stared at Lin Li.

As the one who had taken the blow, Tie Qiu Heng felt it most keenly. He knew from that brief exchange that Lin Li had become much stronger than before.
