Chapter 59 - Beast Nature After Going Berserk

The town’s visitors, who had been watching the show in the bar, had already slipped out, all clinging to the windows thinking that would keep them from being affected.

But in the next second, a few of Lois’s subordinates were thrown out of the bar, knocking down a crowd of onlookers.

“I told you, if there’s a problem, handle it yourself.

Don’t waste time with useless gestures.” Although there were many people surrounding him, when it came down to skills, how many could actually stand up to Lu Hong?

In just five minutes, Lu Hong had all these tough guys lying on the ground.

“My name is Lois, deputy head of the Battle Scar mercenary group.

May I ask who you are?” Lois paused and then reintroduced herself.

“Didn’t I tell you already?

My boss’s name is Tukurlu, he’s the head of our Black Old mercenary group’s reserves.” Lock Fan took over, originally wanting to ramble a bit more, but seeing the icy stare from Lois, he wisely shut his mouth.

“Your subordinate sure talks a lot.” Lois disgustingly withdrew her gaze from Lock Fan.

“I actually quite like that about him,” Lu Hong shrugged, indicating he didn’t mind.

“Heh, interesting man,” Lois chuckled softly, “I think I have taken a greater interest in you.”

Lois paused then continued, “I’ve never seen a man like you, not old, yet able to boast such battle achievements.

I doubt even an old soldier in a mercenary group could match this?”

Lois was a sharp-eyed woman.

She not only noticed the scars on Lu Hong’s body but could roughly infer how troublesome those wounds must have been when they first appeared.

Some of the injuries were severe enough to cripple a normal person!

“Just used to fighting a lot, it’s nothing noteworthy.” Lu Hong continued, “If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, then I’ll be on my way.”

“Well, little man, I really do want to see how capable you truly are.” Lois threw down her glass, ripped her fitted long dress from the bottom up to her thighs— this was to make it easier to fight.

“I don’t like hitting women, but I can make an exception,” Lu Hong clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

“I don’t need your mercy.

So far, no one has beaten me barehanded,” said Lois as she swung her delicate fist straight at Lu Hong’s chest.

Lu Hong met her punch with his own, and their fists collided instantly.

With a grunt, Lu Hong stepped back three steps, while Lois was pushed back five steps.

“You really are strong,” Lois’s eyes sparkled with a fiery fighting spirit, as since joining the Battle Scar mercenary group, no one had ever outmatched her in strength before.

“You’re not bad yourself.” Lu Hong was secretly surprised.

Relying on his Dragon Blood Body Refinement and Second Transition Lionheart bloodline, he had obtained immense strength, yet this woman was only slightly less formidable.

“Have you also undergone some modifications?” Lu Hong asked curiously.

Modification was quite mainstream after the Second Transition, with most people choosing to enhance their bodies with Demon Beast genes to reach a higher level.

Of course, the modification process was not without risks, and the failure rate was high.

Moreover, the grades of Demon Beast genes that Second Transition professions could integrate weren’t very high.

“Not modification, but bloodline transplantation,” Lois provided a more precise answer.

Bloodline transplantation, a procedure even more advanced and costly than modification, had similarly enticing benefits upon success.

“Let’s go again!” Lois shouted like a cheetah charging forward, and then the two erupted in intense clashes.

Their dazzling exchange was a brutal display of punches to flesh.

Lois delivered a vicious whip kick to Lu Hong’s head, but Lu Hong stepped back half a step and dodged the attack by leaning backward, grabbing her smooth calf with both hands and swinging her toward a table to the right.

The poor table instantly shattered into pieces, and Lu Hong followed up with a stomp toward Lois, who was down on the ground.

If this foot had landed on her, it definitely wouldn’t have been pleasant.

Lois quickly rolled twice to dodge the attack.

As Lu Hong’s foot hit the ground, the entire bar seemed to emit a slight tremor.

Lois sprang up, throwing three punches.

Caught off guard, Lu Hong took a hit to the jaw and staggered back two steps.

Though this kid had brute strength, his combat skills were quite poor!

Lois quickly spotted Lu Hong’s weakness, seized the opportunity, and closed in to engage in close combat with him.

Now Lu Hong was really at a disadvantage; he truly had no formal training in hand-to-hand combat.

He had fought countless times in the Sky Realm game, but those were with weapons, after all.

Now barehanded, how much of his skill could he use?

He was purely relying on his fighting instincts.

Lois’s punches were as fast as lightning, delivering one combo after another.

Under her relentless assault, Lu Hong barely managed to defend and was steadily forced back.

Lois feinted a move, tricking Lu Hong into exposing his defense, then delivered a rabbit kick heavily to Lu Hong’s abdomen.

But before Lois could celebrate, Lu Hong once again grabbed her thigh.

“Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” Lu Hong grunted through abdominal pain, gripping Lois’s thigh with all his might.

“Let go of me!” Feeling the pain in her leg bone, Lois panicked, leaping up and then kicking toward Lu Hong’s chest.

Of course, Lu Hong wouldn’t give her that chance.

He suddenly exerted force, swinging Lois into the air and smashing her back down to the bar’s floor.

Unlike before, right after Lois touched the ground, she was swung back up, then similarly introduced to the other side of the floor.

Lu Hong treated Lois entirely as a punching bag, throwing her repeatedly for over a dozen cycles until the ground was covered with her fresh blood before he finally stopped.

In the end, he threw her out, smashing her into the bar’s counter.

“Happy now?” Lu Hong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “Man, this woman just went nuts on me, almost didn’t catch my breath.

My head took countless hits, left me dizzy and ringing.

If I hadn’t deliberately shown a flaw, I might have been the one lying on the ground.”

Crashed under the counter, Lois broke the short silence with a fierce roar.

Her eyes blazing red, she charged straight at Lu Hong.

“Not good, she’s gone Berserk!” The bar’s female owner on the second floor sensed Lois’s condition and was immediately shocked.

Before Lu Hong could react, Lois had pounced on him.

“You crazy woman!

Still fighting?” As soon as Lu Hong spoke, Lois’s brutal fists rained down like a shower.

“Big brother!” Lock Fan saw Lu Hong pinned down and was shocked.

He wanted to rush to help, but before he could take two steps, the bar’s female owner who had jumped down from the second floor stopped him.

“Your going there now is useless, Lois has gone Berserk.

For now, it’s just brute fighting; she’ll tire out and recover naturally, your big brother isn’t in mortal danger.”

“But I can’t just watch my big brother get beaten, right?

Let me go!” Lock Fan wouldn’t listen to her, but before he could act, the female owner struck him in the stomach with a hook punch.

“I…,” Lock Fan’s curse didn’t fully escape his lips before his stomach cramped, and he collapsed to the ground.

“Lie down quietly, don’t create trouble.

Lois is a level eight Second Transition martial arts master.

If you provoke her to channel her internal energy, there aren’t many here who can restrain her.”

Meanwhile, Lu Hong, who was continually taking punches, now had his eye sockets burst, and his face swollen.

Lois’s strength after going Berserk had greatly increased.

Although not surpassing Lu Hong, it equaled him, and such continued pounding was something Lu Hong certainly couldn’t endure.

This can’t go on!

Lu Hong gave up on defense, fully swung his right fist, smashing into Lois’s side face.

Lois’s right fist also came at him, and the next second, both fists hit their mark simultaneously.

Lois was sent flying, crashing heavily into the bar’s wall.

Whereas Lu Hong skidded across the ground, pushing seven or eight nailed-down tables before stopping.

“Roar!” Lois roared in anger and charged towards Lu Hong again.

“Dammit, I won’t let you go today!” Lu Hong also snapped, the Lionheart power suddenly bursting from his heart, his eyes as well shining blood-red.

“Your big brother had his bloodline transplanted too?” The female owner was also surprised.

This kid looked like he hadn’t undergone the Second Transition, how could he have implanted a beast bloodline so early?

Of course, our Lock Fan was still curled up on the ground not recovered yet and couldn’t answer the female owner.

Lois and Lu Hong collided again, and this time, Lu Hong’s power after going Berserk was significantly stronger than Lois’s.

Like a cannonball, she smashed straight through the bar’s wall and flew out.

The frenzied Lu Hong wouldn’t just let her go, and he got up to chase her out.

This fight had all the town’s guests dumbfounded.

“No one is allowed to follow!” the bar’s female owner commanded sternly.

As she spoke, a level ten Second Transition Magic Power slowly released from her body, subduing everyone present.

This wasn’t just a simple level ten Second Transition Mage.

Judging from the quality and total aura of her Magic Power, the Magic cultivation in her triple cultivation system must also have reached level ten.

“Also, notify your mercenary group’s members, surround the town’s central square, and definitely don’t get involved in their fight!” The female owner seemed to have an additional identity, and Lois’s subordinates didn’t object, respectfully starting to carry out her command.

After making her instructions known, the female owner hurried to check on their combat status.

The town’s central square was already riddled with over one-meter-wide pits.

At that moment, Lu Hong was fiercely pressing Lois’s head into the ground, like smashing a coconut, creating another pit.

Lois’s ten fingers, enhanced after going Berserk, were incessantly ripping at Lu Hong’s body, marking him with countless bloodstains.

As Lois’s head kept being smashed into the ground, her tearing force on Lu Hong gradually weakened.

Finally, she completely abandoned the attack, issuing a mournful howl.

Hearing this howl, Lu Hong seemed touched and released Lois’s bloody head.

With a thud, Lois fell to the ground, but she didn’t pass out.

Instead, she crawled timidly toward Lu Hong, who did not push her away.

Upon seeing Lu Hong not resisting, Lois let out a meek roar and swiftly coiled around his body.

“This…,” the bar’s female owner floated in the air, unable to keep up with their pace now.

Wasn’t it a fight to the death just a moment ago?

How had it suddenly turned intimate?

“Icy Mist, rise!” The female owner was still familiar with Lois after all.

Lois was now passionately kissing Lu Hong, and who knows what 404 scene might happen next, so it was better to cover them somehow.

Otherwise, it’d really turn into a live broadcast.

After going Berserk, Lois and Lu Hong retained only the purest bestiality.

Normally Lois wouldn’t have changed like this due to defeat.

If there’s anything to blame, it’s the deterrent effect of Lu Hong’s Lionheart bloodline, making Lois’s beastly nature seek the most primitive mating.
