Chapter 649 Monster
"You think you can break through my defenses with your bare hands? That's wishful thinking!"

The gatekeeper sneered, and his body underwent a terrifying transformation. He seemed to swell up to a whole size, his muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and his clothes burst open with a bang!
His original bluish-gray complexion darkened, and scale-like patterns appeared on his skin, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen. The sound of bones creaking and cracking filled the air.

His already exaggerated level of physical enhancement became even more unbelievable!
Jin's punch was delivered without reservation. The full-force attack of a peak Yuan Beast level beast landed solidly on the gatekeeper. The air was compressed into solid energy ripples, like a boulder hitting the surface of water, creating violent ripples. The recoil even made Jin's tiger's mouth go numb!
But the burly gatekeeper, as imposing as a mountain, remained completely still, like an iron tower erected at the entrance.

Jin was shocked. His full-force attack couldn't even break through his defense.

This gatekeeper's ability is very special; it seems to be an extreme defensive ability, capable of altering even the density and strength of his body, making him practically an iron wall! Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against him!

Jin gritted his teeth and unleashed another powerful punch at lightning speed, but his opponent still didn't budge an inch.

The gatekeeper didn't even change his expression, as if the black panther youth's attack was just a tickle.

He looked at Jin with disdain and said leisurely, "You think you can shake the 'gods' by yourself? Ignorance is bliss, it's utterly laughable!"

Jin gritted his teeth and sneered, "Oh? Then I'll test whether you're truly indestructible."

He was obsessed with fighting, craved victory, and loved to shatter the legends of the "impossible".

If it doesn't work the first time, try twice.

If it doesn't work twice, try three times.

As long as he can still stand and attack, he will not admit defeat!
Fists crackling with lightning rained down on the gatekeeper, and even the hardest iron wall would likely be riddled with dents by now.

The young black panther moved so fast that he was just a blur, impossible to catch with the naked eye.

The gatekeeper had never encountered such an arrogant guy before. He dared to try to break into the last underground level with his bare hands. He was so arrogant and confident!

Faced with this fierce and relentless attack, the gatekeeper abandoned his previous cat-and-mouse-like disdain and said impatiently, "I don't have time to waste with you. It seems I'll have to show you some real skills!"

He took a heavy step outward, and the surrounding air suddenly froze, turning the area within dozens of meters around him into a domain of immense pressure.

When Jin forced his way in, it was as if he was trapped in an invisible swamp. His speed decreased sharply, his body became dozens of times heavier, and even breathing became difficult and heavy!

He tried to speed up, but it was as if there were countless resistances pulling him, making his movements clumsy and slow, even slower than those of a low-level orc.

Besides their lightning powers, the Leopard Clan's greatest skill is their unpredictable teleportation. This ability not only allows them to evade attacks but also amplifies their normal attacks several times over, making them legendary for one-hit kills!
But now that teleportation is no longer working, Jhin is like a beast with its claws clipped, his strength greatly reduced.

The goalkeeper's face was cold and gloomy as he delivered a heavy straight punch straight at the goalkeeper.

Jin reacted extremely quickly, forcibly accelerating to dodge, and the ground where he had been standing was shaken open with spiderweb-like cracks.

However, once he leaves the area of ​​intense pressure and gets close to the gatekeeper, he will still be suppressed.

He was unable to launch an offensive and was forced to defend.

As the gatekeeper attacked, he taunted, "Your Leopard Clan excels in close combat, but unfortunately, I am an invincible iron wall in close combat, impenetrable by any attack!"

"My body was specially modified by the laboratory over many years, specifically to counter your superpowers!"

In just over ten minutes, the two had exchanged nearly ten thousand blows.

Jin's chest heaved violently, his hands clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead and neck, his jaw taut, and his dark golden eyes fixed on the terrifying humanoid machine opposite him like an abyss.

His tiger's mouth was already split open, bleeding profusely, but he was completely unaware, his mind racing with calculations.

If close combat doesn't work, then attack from a distance!
In their next encounter, Jhin didn't get close again, but instead retreated swiftly to the entrance door.

He gathered all his supernatural power into his arm and slammed his palm heavily into the ground, instantly unleashing a burst of violent lightning!
The physical prowess honed through years of life-or-death battles in the Abyss allows Jhin to expend stamina far more slowly than his abilities. Therefore, he usually prefers to use the most primal and ferocious hand-to-hand combat, with his abilities serving only as a supplement.

But at this moment, Jhin has abandoned his most advantageous strength in the confrontation and switched to a full-scale attack using his supernatural abilities, which means that the consumption of energy will accelerate dramatically.

This battle cannot be delayed any longer; it must be resolved quickly!

Although the gatekeeper in front of me has been transformed into a half-human, half-monster, he is still a living being. His physical defense can block physical attacks, but it cannot be immune to the penetration of lightning!
The gatekeeper neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

A surge of lightning instantly pierced through his entire body.

In that instant, his body seemed to turn into white dots, but the expected severe injury did not occur.

His body acted like "sound-absorbing cotton," absorbing, dispersing, and weakening the powerful lightning, leaving only slight scorch marks on his skin.

Once the blinding light subsided, the gatekeeper dusted himself off, his expression still arrogant and cold. When he looked at the young man with the black panther in the distance, the mockery in his eyes deepened. "Is this all the strength you have?"

His third superpower, energy desensitization, is specifically designed to counter superpower attacks!

He twisted his neck and approached with heavy steps, arrogantly saying, "I must say, your attack is quite a tickle. You think you're strong? I can't even feel pain!"

The genetic technology wielded by the Creator is far beyond what outsiders can imagine.

The gatekeeper not only possesses near-invincible superpowers, but also has over 90% of its pain perception suppressed, making it a defensive monster designed specifically for combat.

"Give up, you can't beat me."

Jin gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they trembled, and blood seeped from his tiger's mouth, staining half of his palm red.

Positive energy bombardment had little effect, and close-quarters combat was suppressed by force and slowed down by the domain.

He was completely outmaneuvered, and defeat seemed inevitable.

But Jin came here today with the intention of dying.

He absolutely had to get that thing.

There is absolutely no way we will back down.

then--

He moved swiftly and plunged back into the fierce battle.

Jhin's attacks not only did not weaken, but became even more frenzied, with black energy surging around him, truly like the madman in the rumors!

Unfortunately, he was too deeply restrained. Even when he pushed his power to the limit, he still couldn't gain the upper hand. His injuries worsened, a metallic taste filled his throat, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The scene before my eyes began to darken and sway, and my body gradually became unsteady, and my speed slowed down.

The goalkeeper punched him hard in the chest.

Jin was blasted several meters away and crashed heavily into the wall, causing it to collapse.

"Uh……"

He fell into the ruins, covered in injuries, barely able to stand, but the image of that gentle figure appeared in his mind.

Just one step left.

If he gets that thing, he can go back to see her, and like an ordinary person, he can marry her and live a stable and happy life.

He cannot fall here.

A fierce power erupted from Jin's body once more, perhaps his final limit, and he fought the gatekeeper again.

Even the gatekeeper's stiff face showed surprise and anger. This mad leopard was like an unkillable cockroach; how could it still stand up?!

This wasn't the first time; every time the gatekeeper thought the black panther was about to die, it would always get up again and continue fighting.

It's a disgrace! It's a miracle that a flesh-and-blood body has fought against his meticulously crafted experimental subject to this day without falling!
The real monster is probably someone else!
but……

No matter how hard he tries, the outcome won't change.

The gatekeeper said coldly, "It's no use. Just surrender. Why make things difficult for yourself?"

"Surrender obediently, and I might give you a quick death."

The young man with the black panther seemed not to hear, as if he had entered a state of self-forgetfulness, his body only focused on fighting instincts.

If someone were present, they would notice that Jhin's seemingly "useless" attacks were actually a subtle shift in strategy.

Since lightning was proving ineffective, he stopped concentrating his power and instead deliberately dispersed his attacks. It was less of a direct assault and more of a distraction of his opponent.

Although the gatekeeper's body has been highly modified, there is no absolute insulator in the world. A lightning strike will still cause a brief disruption.

However, the time frame is extremely short, and in the midst of intense combat, it is difficult to detect this subtle change.

However, as the frequency of lightning increases, the interference effect gradually becomes apparent.

The goalkeeper's muscles will spasm for a fraction of a second. Though brief and weak, this is enough to disrupt his tight defensive posture and create an opportunity for the next attack.

Moreover, through so many tests, Jhin gradually figured out the opponent's physical data.

The goalkeeper's body is not evenly reinforced. The chest and arms are the strongest, while the area below the waist is weaker, and the joints such as the knees and ankles are the weakest.

Jhin gradually abandoned direct attacks and instead used teleportation to attack the lower body and joints.

Although the gatekeeper possesses a powerful physique and virtually invincible defense, there is no such thing as a perfect fighter jet in this world. The price he pays for his "powerful defense" is his relatively slow speed and sluggish movements, making it difficult for him to dodge Jin's dense attacks.

As Jin was like a relentless storm of lightning, he repeatedly tore open gaps in the oppressive domain, his figure flashing as his attacks were as precise and dense as bee stings.

The continuous lightning strikes caused intermittent paralysis in the goalkeeper's body, and a crack quietly appeared in the perfect defense.

boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck his ankle, and the goalkeeper lost control, swaying slightly.

This seemingly insignificant little action instantly shattered the delicate balance of the battlefield.

The gatekeeper realized the black panther youth's intentions, and his stiff face showed shame and anger. Damn panther! How annoying!

He began to intentionally protect his vulnerable spots to reduce the number of times he was hit.

In this way, the advantage that Jin had finally gained was gone again, and he turned his gaze to the scattered rubble on the ground.

Even the sturdy building could not withstand the fierce battle between the two powerful figures, and it was damaged everywhere, with rubble scattered all over the ground.

Jhin suddenly abandoned attacking the gatekeeper and instead bombarded the surrounding buildings!
boom!
Boom boom——

He frantically struck the ceiling and walls with lightning, causing countless fragments of stone to fall and smoke to fill the air.

The goalkeepers couldn't help but back away coughing, their view obstructed.

Is this leopard crazy?
Jhin's energy is indeed close to insane, but he's not truly insane.

He used the smoke and debris to distract the gatekeeper's senses, and took advantage of the momentary chaos to push his speed to the limit, creating dozens of afterimages in the air.

The goalkeeper was somewhat flustered and rushed in the chaos.

A blur of motion suddenly shot forward!
The gatekeeper immediately released his heavy pressure field and threw a punch, but only hit the air, the afterimage shattering.

Another figure flashed in from the side, and he threw another punch, only to miss. Enraged, he yelled, "Damn it, which one is the real one?!"

Just then, another dark figure approached.

Before the goalkeeper could react, his heavy body was struck by a heavy punch to the knee!
Although the goalkeeper's knee was a weak point, it might not have had much effect at first, but after being worn down by tens of thousands of lightning strikes, this heavy punch actually made him stagger back two steps.

With this sway, the surrounding energy fluctuated, and even the heavy pressure domain showed a slight disturbance.

Jin accurately seized this momentary opening; it was his best chance, and also his last.

With such intense energy output, Jhin's power was nearly exhausted, leaving him with only the strength for one last strike.

If you don’t succeed, you will succeed!
Jhin concentrated all his power into one point, teleported to the side of the gatekeeper, and then punched him in the knee!
He will unleash all the damage he has accumulated at this moment.

boom! ! !
A white light engulfed the entire space, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard. Immediately afterward, a loud bang followed, and the gatekeeper collapsed heavily to the ground.

He tried to get up, but Jin didn't give him the chance and punched him in the side of the neck again.

Once a gap appears in the defense, it's like a deflated balloon; the goalkeeper shrinks, and the perfect defense collapses.

With that punch, a cracking sound came from the neck bone, and it actually... broke!
Ember transformed into a black panther and ripped his head off his neck, tossing it to the ground like trash.

The headless corpse twitched slightly in its final terror.

The bloodied head rolled a few times, leaving a long trail of blood. Its wide, stiff eyes stared intently at the blood-soaked black panther not far away, its gaze filled with resentment and disbelief.

No...not possible!

He's an invincible experimental subject, how could he be defeated by a mere kid?
But no matter how unwilling he was, his breath had already stopped.

As Jin stared at the completely still corpse, his body, which had been taut as stone, finally relaxed. He looked toward the half-open door.

Finally, we were able to go inside.

He was about to step inside with heavy steps when a crisp "crack" suddenly rang out in the air.

Jin froze, looked up, and his pupils shrank.

The outer structure peeled away, revealing a metallic ceiling with a dozen or so circular openings through which transparent cabins descended.

The cabin was filled with white mist, and distorted black shadows could be seen in the mist.

As several jets of air were heard, the gas inside the glass chamber was quickly drawn away, revealing the true form of the dark figure—it was the mutated species!
These are all kings cultivated in the laboratory using countless mutated species, each possessing the strength of a Yuan Beast!

All the hatches opened, and the hideous, twisted monsters swarmed out, their first act being to devour the gatekeeper's corpse.

Then, their bodies began to merge, transforming into a larger and more terrifying monster!

Jin's pupils dilated, his blood-loss-induced face turned even paler, and an unprecedented pressure forced him to retreat several steps.

He clenched his bleeding fists, staring intently at the monster before him, his dark golden eyes filled with disbelief.

damn it……

What on earth is this? !

What exactly is the lab trying to do?!

A chilling cold emanated from Jhin's body, shooting straight from his feet to the top of his head. After the monsters merged, dozens of scarlet eyes suddenly opened, their gazes falling on him, and then they launched a fierce attack on Jhin.

Even Jhin at his peak would probably be no match for the monster, let alone now that Jhin is already at his limit. His strength was completely exhausted after dealing with the gatekeeper, so how could he possibly defeat this monster?

He got it.

The gatekeeper I defeated might just be a decoy, with the purpose of depleting his power. This monster is probably the real gatekeeper!
In the end, Jhin was no match for the building, crashing into it and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His vision blurred intermittently; this time, it was real, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The monster was moving rapidly toward him, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Jin closed his eyes, powerless to resist, and his clenched fist loosened.

In truth, he wasn't really confident he could get his hands on that thing, and when he decided to come, he was prepared to die.

If he succeeds in obtaining that crystal, he will be with Xunfu.

If he cannot obtain the crystal, it is due to his incompetence and uselessness, and he is naturally unworthy to stay with the female.

Just as he was feeling despair and bitterness, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Ah Jin!"
