Lin Yu originally intended to retrieve the steel bar he had thrown. However, upon approaching, he found that the insect beast's leg blade was not only as hard as the steel bar but also lighter and sharper, making it more suitable for the current battle. So he decisively gave up the steel bar and removed the leg blade. Hiding in the shadows, Lin Yu squinted his eyes and stared intently at the unsuspecting insect beast. He adjusted his breathing and encouraged himself in his heart, "Although these insect beasts are wrapped in a hard exoskeleton, their heads and slender necks are undoubtedly their weak points. The necks are convenient for hunting, but they also make it easier for me to deliver a fatal blow. As long as I'm fast enough, ruthless enough, and steady enough, it won't be difficult to kill one of them instantly!" As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out like a black bolt of lightning, holding nothing back. This was a race against death. Lin Yu circulated the yuan qi in his body and unleashed an astonishing instant acceleration. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the hiding place of the insect beast with the leg blade in his hand. Sensing the danger, the insect beast showed no sign of panic. Instead, it let out a howl and pounced forward, revealing its bloodthirsty nature. Lin Yu's previous self-suggestion had taken effect. Facing the counterattack of the insect beast, although he hadn't experienced a life-and-death battle for many years, his gaze was firm, and he didn't flinch. Lin Yu gave a fierce stomp with his foot, and the leg blade hidden behind his back in his left hand was instantly swung out. Due to his unique way of hiding the knife, the insect beast didn't notice the gleaming leg blade until it was face to face with him. However, it was too late. "Puff!" The blade flashed, and Lin Yu almost instantly passed by the insect beast. The head of the insect beast slowly fell to the ground. Lin Yu didn't stop for a moment and sprinted towards the direction of escape. The burning pain from the two wounds on his chest ignited the hot-blooded fighting spirit within him. As he ran, he marveled to himself, "There is indeed an innate aggression hidden in my heart. Father was right. The clansmen in Xuanxiao Valley who have the aptitude for cultivation all have the factors of violence and aggressiveness in their blood. I haven't engaged in a battle for many years, but I can quickly enter the combat state. Besides my own calmness, it also proves the powerful combat instincts of our clansmen." The wind howled in his ears, and Lin Yu could clearly feel the resistance of the air. He didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest and followed the planned route, turning left, then left again, and then right. At this time, the surrounding insect beasts all reacted and began to encircle and intercept him from all directions. Lin Yu knew that as long as he hesitated for a moment and was entangled by the insect beasts, only death awaited him. An insect beast leaped down from the floor-to-ceiling window above his head, and its sharp leg blade was only half a palm away from Lin Yu's cheek. But Lin Yu didn't dodge, nor did he dare to dodge, because any pause could lead to a fatal consequence. "Ah!" Lin Yu let out a hoarse roar and rushed towards the cement wall in front of him with the fastest speed and the greatest inertia. Just as he was about to hit the wall, he gave a hard kick with his foot, and his whole body was at a 90-degree angle to the ground. He ran several steps on the wall and successfully bypassed the last corner. This thrilling move allowed Lin Yu to avoid a fatal blow and temporarily shake off the insect beasts behind him. But Lin Yu knew that his right leg had almost reached its limit under the huge pressure. His bones and muscles let out groans of being overloaded. With the slightest carelessness, his right leg would break. Finally, Lin Yu passed all the corners. All he had to do next was to sprint a hundred meters to reach the elevator. As long as the elevator was still working, he could gain a short period of safety. Lin Yu panted heavily, squeezing every bit of strength from his body and sprinting towards the elevator. Sweat blurred Lin Yu's eyes, but he still saw the scene in the elevator: six or seven men and women were standing inside, and a girl in a yellow dress was waving at him and shouting, "Run! There are so many insect beasts behind you!" Lin Yu didn't look back. He already knew the danger behind him, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to run for his life. However, not everyone was as kind as the girl in the yellow dress. Two men in suits beside her, one quickly covered the girl's mouth, and the other hurriedly pressed the elevator's upward button, obviously having no intention of waiting for Lin Yu. A wave of sadness welled up in Lin Yu's heart. In this doomsday world, when life and death were at stake, the selfishness of human nature was fully exposed. But he didn't have time to lament. The only choice for him was to keep running and strive for a glimmer of hope for his own life.
