Chapter Eighteen: A Difficult Battle

  Ye Feng stared at him coldly and didn't flee in a panic like a mad cow.

  "Are you planning on giving up your resistance now?" The fierce bull had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think that Ye Feng, who was out of bullets, could escape from his clutches.

  "How did you do it?" Ye Feng didn't answer Man Niu's question, but instead raised his own doubts. His speed was clearly much faster than Man Niu's, yet under the intense hail of bullets just now, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to emerge unscathed.

  "Are you saying that all your bullets missed just now?" A triumphant smile appeared on the face of the fierce cow, "You ordinary people can't understand."

  "Ordinary person, aren't you human?" Ye Feng knew what "barbaric cow" meant, but he pretended to be puzzled.

  "In a sense, I'm already in the category of non-human!" The fierce cow thought that telling others such things was irrelevant and would have a deterrent effect.

  "Non-human? Are you an android? Or a composite genetic product?" Ye Feng's most pressing question at this moment was how the fierce cow had just dodged his bullets.

  "Not at all, as you say, I just know a bit of martial arts," said Man Niu with a mischievous grin.

  "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid? If martial arts can really have this effect, then everyone in the army would learn it and what's the use of guns?" Ye Feng shook his head with a smile, on the surface he showed disdain for this answer, but in his heart he was extremely suspicious, and even more wanted to get more information out of the other person.

  "Do you really think that martial arts are just like the performances in movies and TV, where a few moves make you an expert? Chinese martial arts are profound and complex! Something that has been passed down for thousands of years, do you really think all that's left is rubbish?

  Bull was furious when he heard Ye Feng's skepticism, and launched a series of accusations. As a martial artist, the thing that infuriated him the most was being denied the authenticity of martial arts."

  "I've never heard of martial arts being used to dodge bullets..." Ye Feng saw the expression on Man Niu's face and knew his goal was almost achieved, so he spoke again to provoke him.

  "You haven't heard of many things, have you! In fact, at my speed, it's indeed not enough to dodge these bullets. It's just that I've learned a set of body techniques, compared to other top-notch masters, I have this extra capital to save my life. Martial arts, apart from brute force, also involve skills. Mastering sufficient skills can double one's combat power." The Bull finally spoke the truth.

  Ye Feng finally got the answer he wanted, "So it was like this..."

  "Now, you can take these secrets that ordinary people don't know to the grave with peace of mind..." As soon as the words fell, the barbaric cow's figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Feng. His right fist swung out rapidly, aiming straight for Ye Feng's abdomen. "Go die, kid!"

  The brutal bull originally thought that this punch would surely kill Ye Feng, but he saw something that made him feel unbelievable.

  That must-kill punch was actually blocked by Ye Feng with a palm that was less than the size of his own fist in mid-air.

  He slightly stunned, Ye Feng didn't move, just smiled lightly at him, "This punch, is really very gentle..."

  The barbaric cow was suddenly enraged and threw a flurry of punches, but they were all blocked by Ye Feng one by one.

  "You... " The fierce cow suddenly came to its senses after a series of futile attacks, "Have you been playing tricks on me all along?"

  "No, I just really want to know why your speed is obviously not as fast as mine, yet you can dodge bullets." Ye Feng smiled and shook his head. "If I had taken action from the start, you definitely wouldn't have told me this secret."

  "I'm going to kill you!" The fierce bull's heart was burning with anger, he never thought that he would be played by a little brat.

  "You can't kill me!" Ye Feng shook his head, "Whether it's strength or speed, you're both below me..."

  Ye Feng's words were cut off as he discovered that the combat value of the barbaric cow detected by the detector had undergone an astonishing change.

  The overall combat value has not changed and is still 157.

  However, the unknown energy has decreased significantly, and the power has also been greatly enhanced.

  The original value is:

  Power: 48

  Speed: 37

  Spirit: 29

  Unknown Energy: 43

  Now has become:

  Strength: 91

  Speed: 37

  Spirit: 29

  Unknown Energy: 0

  "What's going on?" Ye Feng looked at the scene in front of him with a face full of surprise, and he also saw the bulging muscles on the bull's body with exposed veins. His complexion was completely different from the healthy color just now, but presented a morbid flush. "How could that unknown energy undergo such a transformation?"

  Before Ye Feng could figure out what was going on, the Wild Ox launched another attack. Ye Feng took advantage of his speed and fled in disarray.

  The power of 91, if it really hits the positive side, Ye Feng knows that it will definitely cause heavy damage to himself. If he is hit by a fatal blow, it may even lead to death.

  "What's going on? At this rate, we'll be killed!" Ye Feng realized the severity of the situation.

  "Boyi!" Ye Feng extended his spiritual power into the void, seeking help from Boyi.

  "I accidentally provoked a monster that can instantly increase its strength. Is there any way to help me solve this big trouble now?" Ye Feng asked.

  "You'll be fine once you hide in here!" Boy said with a teasing smile.

  "What I want is a way to solve the problem, not a way to avoid it!" Ye Feng vetoed the proposal without hesitation. Although hiding in the virtual domain was safe, if he did it once, there would be a second time, and so on. In the long run, when encountering strong opponents, he would instinctively want to escape, which was not what Ye Feng wanted. Rather than choosing this, Ye Feng would rather fight with his opponent, and even if he was no match, hiding at the last moment wouldn't be shameful.

  "Well, in that case, I don't have any other choice. But the situation you just mentioned, a person won't be able to sustain that state for long. And after his strength returns to its original value, he will have a period of weakness." With this hint from Boyi, Ye Feng finally felt much more at ease.

  "What you said won't last long, about how long will it be?" Ye Feng still couldn't help but ask.

  "It varies from person to person, some take a little longer, others shorter, but for someone of his level, it won't exceed an hour at most. I'd say around half an hour!" Boyi concluded.

  "Half an hour..." Ye Feng muttered to himself, then turned to Bo Yi and said, "I need an M4A1 with a silencer, extra magazines. Bo Yi, help me install the silencer and magazines, then put it in the storage cabinet, thanks!"

  "I don't believe I can't take you down!" Just a moment later, Ye Feng suddenly turned around and started a frantic sweep of the barbaric bull behind him with an M4A1 in his hand.

  The barbaric cow hadn't even reacted yet when Ye Feng got this gun from somewhere and was forced to flee in disarray.

  Unlike the USP, which is a light pistol, the M4A1 is an exceptionally performing carbine with a much higher rate of fire, bullet penetration and range that far surpasses the USP.

  Even with a silencer installed, the bullets fired by the M4A1 can easily penetrate walls within a hundred meters, let alone human bodies.

  Originally, Man Niu wanted to attack when Ye Feng was changing bullets, but he never expected that almost at the same time a bullet clip was used up, Ye Feng had already changed to another one. That terrifying hand speed was not something ordinary people could compare with.

  In the intense shooting of M4A1, although the fierce cow tried its best to escape, it was still inevitably shot, and although it was only a superficial wound, this kind of injury under the hail of bullets was simply a fatal curse.

  After the third shot, he finally gave up on the idea of letting Ye Feng exhaust his ammunition, because he had completely forgotten how many times Ye Feng had changed magazines. He chose to turn a corner and hide in a dark place.

  The wounds on the bull's body were not deep, but after being embedded with bullets, it was no longer possible to move as freely as before. Moreover, the place where the bullet hit was still bleeding continuously, and if this continued, shock-induced death was also a possibility. He needed to find a place to remove the bullets, bandage his wounds, and then escape from this damned place.

  The main reason for choosing to escape was not just because he was injured, but also because he knew that he had been in that state for almost half an hour and was about to enter a weak period. In that situation, Ye Feng could easily kill himself even without using a gun.

  "What a naive guy!" Ye Feng didn't rush to chase, but quietly observed the direction of the bull in the detector. "If you escape all the way back to your lair, you might still have a chance to survive. Hiding here will only lead to self-destruction..."

  Ye Feng took a glance at the range detection, and the two white dots that were still stationary in place seemed to have not changed much. Only then did he shift his attention to the barbaric cow hiding behind the pile of debris.

  When he saw the power value of the wild bull begin to drop, Ye Feng finally moved his feet and walked slowly towards where the wild bull was hiding.

  As time passed by the minute and second, the power of the Wild Ox finally returned to its original value. At this moment, something strange happened that made Ye Feng feel surprised. Almost at the same instant when the Wild Ox's power returned to its original value of 48, all his combat values underwent a huge change.

  Strength: 24

  Speed: 18

  Spirit: 21

  Unknown Energy: 0

  "Is this what they mean by side effects?" Ye Feng looked at the data in front of him, slightly stunned, then shook his head helplessly. "It really is a severe aftereffect!"

  Yefeng put away the M4A1 in his hand and switched to the USP he used before, walking step by step towards where Man Niu was hiding.

  As soon as he heard Ye Feng's footsteps approaching, the fierce bull immediately stopped all its movements, and even the sound of its panting due to pain became barely audible. Its eyes vigilantly looked towards the source of the sound, it was very clear that at this moment, it was in its weakest state, once discovered by Ye Feng, it would have no chance of survival.

  Every step forward made Ye Feng's heart tremble.

  Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared. The fierce bull was about to poke his head out with some doubt, but he felt a cold sensation on the back of his head that clearly passed through the tactile nerve into his brain. His pupils suddenly enlarged several times, and his eyes were filled with despair as he lowered his head.

  "Be a good man in your next life!" Ye Feng heavily pulled the trigger...
