Chapter 320
Bang bang bang bang bang——
Amidst the explosions, sparks seemed to burst forth in the darkness, tracing several scorching red trajectories, fleeting and ephemeral.
Then, those eight ferocious hunting dogs that rushed at their target, almost in the same instant, their bodies suddenly froze.
Immediately after, they seemed to be hit by shells, their entire bodies exploded and shattered.
Rustle——
Masses of warm blood mist suddenly burst open, quickly spreading in the darkness.
Broken limbs, shattered organs mixed with bone fragments, scattered and splattered all around like shrapnel.
The scene was so brutal that it caught people off guard.
Plop!
A massive dog head hurled over, rolling on the ground, stopping right in front of Chen Rui, who was hiding in the shadows.
Those still wide-open emerald eyes seemed to freeze with a trace of fear and confusion before death.
The pungent smell of blood instantly filled the entire slaughterhouse.
Chen Rui's hands, gripping the dagger and pistol, bulged with veins, his knuckles cracking.
He stared dead ahead at the darkness that swallowed his hunting dogs.
Trying to discern something within it.
His chest felt like a boulder was pressing on it, making it somewhat difficult to breathe.
The remaining thirty or so hunting dogs dared not even let out a low whimper.
They only tucked their tails, trembling, and some even lost control, leaving a puddle beneath them.
They seemed to have encountered an absolute predator at the top of the food chain, terrifying enough to crush all animal instincts.
Outside, the fierce wind drove raindrops the size of beans.
Like countless whips, fiercely lashing the metal roof, windows, and doors of the slaughterhouse, making a crackling sound.
This deadly silence lasted for several seconds.
In the darkness, a calm male voice slowly sounded:
"Your vigilance is indeed very strong."
"So far, you're the first person able to detect my presence after I actively concealed my tracks."
"So, choosing you as the first prey seems to be the right choice."
With the voice, in that deep darkness, two exceptionally bright icy stars suddenly lit up.
They were eyes.
Cold, sharp, slightly tinged with crimson, reflecting some soul-captivating magic power.
The gaze was accurately cast towards Chen Rui's hiding spot, obviously having already seen through his disguise.
Chen Rui only felt an indescribable terrifying pressure, like a tangible presence covering him, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.
He fiercely bit his tongue, using the pain to free himself from the oppressive aura.
"Humph!"
Chen Rui snorted coldly, replying forcefully, "Then let's see if you have the ability."
"Oh?"
The voice in the darkness sounded slightly surprised: "Do you have any hidden tricks?"
The tone seemed to carry a slight excitement and anticipation.
Crack!
A blinding flash of lightning suddenly split the rainy night.
The dazzling light shone through the dirty windows, briefly illuminating everything inside the slaughterhouse.
It also clearly outlined the silhouette standing amidst the pool of blood and broken limbs.
He wore a plain black hooded raincoat, with the hood pulled low, covering most of his face.
When he slowly lifted his head, it revealed a young and stern face, with those eyes glinting with a faint red light.
Raindrops mixed with blood beads dripped continuously down the brim of his hat and the edges of his coat, pooling into a dark red stain at his feet.
Even though he carried no weapons, merely standing there, he exuded a terrifying oppressive aura as if a beast had intruded into the room.
The intruder was Fang Cheng.
Following the rough address provided by Xu Hao's intelligence, he drove all the way to find Chen Rui's hiding spot.
After a brief observation, eliminating possible traps, he decided to take action.
Clearing out the two small lackeys outside was just an appetizer.
Chen Rui, a senior executive of the Noah Organization, was the real prey in tonight's hunting plan.
Facing Fang Cheng, whose tracks had already been exposed, a sharp look flashed in Chen Rui's eyes.
Without any hesitation, he decisively activated his second ability.
"Roar!"
Chen Rui let out a deep roar, not sounding human, his pupils instantly turning a beast-like emerald green, glinting with a bloodthirsty light.
"Howl——"
The remaining hunting dogs in the slaughterhouse seemingly received a strong mental stimulus and quickly let out wild howls.
Their muscles swelled rapidly, veins coiling and bulging beneath the skin like dragons.
Saliva mixed with blood dripped down from their mouths, the fear in their eyes vanished, replaced by pure madness and bloodthirst.
It seemed they had shed some deep-seated genetic restraint, fully unleashing their most primal wildness.
These berserk hounds no longer feared the terrifying aura emanating from Fang Cheng.
Each coiled its body, letting out low threatening growls from its throat.
Pa, pa, pa——
Over thirty muscular hounds lowered their bodies, their four legs suddenly propelling them off the ground, launching another daring charge at Fang Cheng.
Furthermore, they displayed speed and strength that were several times greater than before.
Meanwhile, Chen Rui also suddenly raised the gun in his hands, the muzzle locked dead on Fang Cheng.
The pack of dogs howled as they dashed forward, bringing a bloody wind.
Fang Cheng remained standing in place, facing the berserk hounds coming from all directions, his expression unchanged.
Just when those glinting fangs were about to touch his body——
His form moved!
No fancy moves, just the simplest, most direct, and most effective punch.
