Chapter 75: Meet the Rampage, or Else There's No Chance

Chapter 75: Meet the Rampage, or Else There's No Chance



In the great hall of the temple, blood and evil intertwined.

Lu Heng held the Aurora Blade, facing off against Lei Jin Hao.

Regardless of the reasons for the current situation, it was undeniable that the two belonged to different factions.

Lu Heng was determined to stop the resurrection ritual, and with conflicting interests, a battle was inevitable.

Lei Jin Hao's eyes gleamed with the ferocity of a wolf, his face exuding human arrogance. His arms trembled, and a circle of silver aura surrounded him.

This was the power he gained upon reaching the First Rank Transformation of the Fighter class, one of the strongest close-combat classes.

Moreover, he had been blessed with the power of the Dark God, his body filled with explosive strength.

This power was so immense that it gave him the confidence to believe he could crush his opponents with a single hand.

In just a few days, his strength had multiplied exponentially, fueling his defiant confidence.

With a haughty gaze, he looked at Lu Heng and said slowly, "Last time, you forced me into a rampage. This time, you won't have the chance."

Lu Heng smiled indifferently and replied, "I suggest you go into a rampage right away, or you might not get the chance."

Lei Jin Hao's strength had indeed increased rapidly, but Lu Heng's growth was even faster.

Not only had Lu Heng reached level 19, but he had also acquired Divine Essence and, through Divine Evolution, obtained even higher-level skills.

...

As the two faced off, other mutants had already stormed the temple, forcing the Flame Horn Devil Overseer to recall his horned demons to block the mutants' advance.

This reduced the number of demons defending the temple's entrance.

The Banser Clan seized the opportunity and launched a charge, and it seemed the temple's entrance would soon be breached.

Initially, the demons had the advantage in numbers, but with the death of the Winged Devil Overlord Sagas, the balance of power had shifted.

This was why Lei Jin Hao had received the "Traitor Task."

The task required him to eliminate the mutants who had entered the temple and ensure the completion of the resurrection ritual.

Moreover, the reward for this task was extremely generous, directly offering Divine Essence.

Lei Jin Hao had never seen Divine Essence before, but just from the name, he could tell that its rank was undoubtedly above that of ordinary essence.

He desired this Divine Essence, and now, the temple's entrance was on the verge of being breached.

He had to eliminate all the mutants who had broken in before the temple's entrance was compromised, then stop the Banser Clan's assault.

Therefore, he couldn't afford to waste time; he had to quickly finish off Lu Heng, the faster, the better.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his body surged forward like a descending mountain tiger, pouncing towards Lu Heng. He unleashed a rampage aura with his fist, aiming directly for Lu Heng's face.

Lu Heng's body moved slightly, and in an instant, he executed the Gale Step, disappearing like a bolt of lightning to one side, effortlessly evading Lei Jin Hao's attack.

Lei Jin Hao's eyebrows furrowed at Lu Heng's agile response, and he immediately pursued with his body techniques.

He was extremely confident in his body techniques, having mastered them to a level close to perfection, almost reaching the Micro-motion level.

Up until now, he had encountered opponents whom he could easily toy with by displaying just 30% of his body technique prowess.

However, this time, even with his near-perfect Micro-motion level body techniques, he couldn't lay a finger on Lu Heng.

Lu Heng's movements were as swift as lightning, effortlessly evading Lei Jin Hao's attacks.

This caused Lei Jin Hao's eyebrows to knit together, and he asked in confusion, "Your body techniques..."

"Yes, Micro-motion level. Your so-called proficient body techniques are like a child's first steps in my eyes." Lu Heng bluntly revealed the level of his body techniques.

Lei Jin Hao's face darkened. He had spent a month rigorously training his body techniques, believing no one could match him, but he never imagined that Lu Heng's mastery of body techniques far surpassed his own.

"Micro-motion level body techniques won't save you!"

Lei Jin Hao's eyes narrowed, and with a deep shout, he shook his arms, unleashing a rampage aura that encircled his body. Then, he charged forward, punching out with Mountain-Busting Aura.

Boom!

The aura surged like a collapsing mountain and a tsunami, enveloping a five-meter radius in front of him, leaving no room to dodge.

However, he had underestimated Lu Heng's agility and speed.

After reaching level 19, Lu Heng's agility had reached 48 points. With his incredibly high agility and the acceleration from Gale Step, he could cover five meters in a single stride.

As Lei Jin Hao's Mountain-Busting Aura struck, Lu Heng took a step back, evading the attack, and then propelled himself forward with a Mountain-Stabilizing Technique.

The sword light slashed down like a silver dragon emerging from the depths, overturning the river and toppling mountains.

The sword light was so swift that in the blink of an eye, it reached Lei Jin Hao.

Lei Jin Hao was startled, realizing that Lu Heng's sword speed was several times faster than when they had first met.

If Lu Heng's strength were still the same as when they encountered each other at Gardenia Beach, this sword strike would have sliced his body in half.

However, he, too, had grown several times stronger since Gardenia Beach, and as the sword light reached him, he unleashed a Cyclone Steel Aura to protect his body.

The domineering Cyclone Steel Aura repelled all attacks directed at him.

This was the source essence ability of the Fighter class, an invincible defense.

No one could match Lei Jin Hao in this regard.

Moreover, when engaging in close combat, opponents would inevitably enter the range of his aura.

Within five meters of his aura, he reigned supreme.

After blocking the sword light, Lei Jin Hao's face twisted into a sinister smile. He channeled his power into his fists, unleashing his most potent aura, ready to pulverize Lu Heng into a meat paste.

Boom!

His Mountain-Busting Aura exploded, shattering the air within a five-meter radius.

Such a powerful attack would have instantly obliterated anyone else.

However, Lu Heng remained calm and composed. As the aura exploded, he activated Shadow Traverse and vanished into the shadows.

With the dual acceleration of Shadow Traverse and Gale Step, he circled Lei Jin Hao at five times the speed.

Others might not know the weakness of the Fighter's aura, but Lu Heng did.

The virtually invincible Cyclone Steel Aura defense could deflect any attack from all directions without fail.

However, the Cyclone Steel Aura couldn't be sustained indefinitely. Before unleashing it, one had to compress their aura within their body and then release it with a spinning force.

Consequently, there was always a gap between each use of the Cyclone Steel Aura.

The duration of this gap varied from person to person, but it was always present.

Moreover, the Cyclone Steel Aura's duration was undoubtedly shorter than Shadow Traverse.

Lu Heng was well aware of this, so he immediately activated Shadow Traverse to dodge the Aura-Crushing Strike's attack and circled around Lei Jin Hao, waiting for the Cyclone Steel Aura to dissipate.

The moment the Cyclone Steel Aura disappeared would be the moment Lei Jin Hao's head would roll.

As expected, the Cyclone Steel Aura surrounding Lei Jin Hao began to weaken after two seconds.

The two-second duration of the Cyclone Steel Aura was indeed impressive, and the dark blessing he had received was undoubtedly powerful.

Most fighters could only maintain the Cyclone Steel Aura for half a second, but Lei Jin Hao sustained it for a full two seconds.

However, even the strongest techniques had their limits.

Seeing the Cyclone Steel Aura weaken, Lu Heng smirked and said, "Are you going to Rampage? If you don't, you won't have another chance."

As his words fell, the Cyclone Steel Aura vanished.

Lu Heng emerged from Shadow Traverse and executed the Moon-Slicing Slash, aiming directly for Lei Jin Hao's neck.

Lei Jin Hao was well aware of the gap in the Cyclone Steel Aura, and as the sword light appeared, he was shocked beyond measure.

The sword strike was both swift and ruthless, leaving him no room to dodge.

Moreover, this time, the target was his neck. If the sword light pierced his carotid artery, he wouldn't even have a chance to Rampage.

In that instant, Lei Jin Hao was astonished to find that Lu Heng's strength once again exceeded his expectations.

Just as Lu Heng had said before the fight, he had to Rampage within a single round, or he wouldn't have a chance.

Lei Jin Hao's eyes darkened, but his extensive combat experience allowed him to make the right decisions in dangerous situations. In the moment when the sword light reached him, he roared and activated the Desperate Rampage skill.

Upon skill activation, all his wounds instantly closed and stopped bleeding. His strength, agility, and constitution surged by 30%, and his pain was reduced.

This skill was meant for a desperate counterattack and should have been used after sustaining severe injuries. Even if he didn't get injured during the Rampage, he would still be severely injured due to vitality depletion.

Lei Jin Hao didn't want to use the Rampage skill, but at the moment the sword light reached him, he realized that he would die if he didn't Rampage, and even if he was a bit late, he would still die.

After just one exchange, he was forced to use the Rampage skill.

After activating the skill, he unleashed a terrifying power beyond his current level, like a raging boss, determined to crush everything in his path.

He raised his hand to unleash an aura to grab the Aurora Blade, then punched to shatter Lu Heng's head.

Lu Heng didn't give him the chance. Having forced him to use the Rampage skill, Lu Heng smirked and immediately retreated, turning to face other demons.

Once the Rampage state ended, Lei Jin Hao would be a corpse.

Therefore, Lu Heng didn't intend to fight him head-on. He used his body technique, stepping on the Gale Step, and rushed out to slay the demons.

"Don't run, you coward!" Lei Jin Hao roared, leaping five meters high and chasing Lu Heng with a whirlwind.

History often repeats itself, and this was the second time he had encountered Lu Heng. Both times, Lei Jin Hao had gone into Rampage mode immediately, leaving him no room to maneuver.

He had thought that with the dark god's blessing, he would be strong enough to crush Lu Heng with ease, but the outcome was the same.

As Lu Heng charged forward, he saw Lei Jin Hao catching up. While chasing, he cursed, "Once your Rampage ends, you'll be a corpse. Accept reality. You should die in Rampage."

Lei Jin Hao was hysterical with rage, but his body technique couldn't match Lu Heng's, and his speed couldn't catch up with the Gale Step. He couldn't even touch Lu Heng.

After chasing for a while, Lei Jin Hao realized that if he continued like this, he would be worn down.

His eyes narrowed, and he turned to look for Lu Heng's girlfriend, but after searching, he couldn't find her.

"Yado, find that woman for me!" he roared, almost in a frenzy.

However, in the midst of the chaotic battle, even a Seer would find it challenging to locate someone.

His gaze turned cold as he spotted another mutant, none other than Lin Zeyu.

"Die!"

He charged towards Lin Zeyu, punching him.

Li Daoyong raised his shield to block the punch, but the aura-infused fist sent him flying.

Lin Zeyu was startled and turned to flee, setting up a Dark Sorcery Binding Trap as he ran.

Lei Jin Hao didn't care about the trap and charged straight through.

The Dark Sorcery Binding Trap activated, and dark thorns grew to entangle him, but he broke free in less than half a second.

"Lei Jin Hao, have you gone crazy? Why are you chasing me?" Lin Zeyu shouted.

"Die!"

At this point, Lei Jin Hao couldn't afford to care about anything else. Once his Rampage ended, everything would be over.

So, he had to kill Lu Heng before the Rampage ended, but since he couldn't catch up, he could only take his anger out on others.

Boom!

He unleashed a Rampage Aura-Crushing Strike, and Lin Zeyu hastily dodged, but he was still caught in the aftermath, sent flying into the wall, and his internal organs shifted. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Lei Jin Hao stepped forward, grabbed his neck, lifted him, and slammed him against the wall, his eyes filled with a beastly ferocity.

Blood poured from Lin Zeyu's mouth as he struggled to break free from Lei Jin Hao's grip, but he couldn't escape.

A shadow of death gradually covered his eyes.
