Cosmic Trading System
Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Now, do you still want my leg?

"If you want to leave me with a leg, it depends whether you'll have the skills to do so!" Upon hearing these men talk about Xia Qingqing, murderous intent flashed deeply in Lin Yun's eyes, he uttered solemnly.

Whizz——

The next moment, Lin Yun made his move charging towards these men with a single step.

When vastly outnumbered and it was difficult to escape, counter-attacking could generate unexpected results.

"Bang——"

As expected, Lin Yun's charge shocked these men, they didn't expect him to make the first move under their siege. Immediately, Lin Yun dashed to one man's side, sending him flying with a shoulder ram.

Simultaneously, Lin Yun snatched the iron rod from the man's hand.

In a fight, a weapon is crucially important.

The first step was successful, with a weapon in hand, Lin Yun's confidence increased immensely.

"Bang——"

Lin Yun swung his hand and struck a man's face with the iron rod, that man immediately collapsed, unable to resist.

"Damn!"

"Attack him!"

By this time, the others had recovered their wits and started to go after Lin Yun.

"Good lad!"

Watching Lin Yun's series of moves, Arkin was astounded, "What a veteran street fighter! A few ordinary men might not be able to handle this lad. No wonder Brother Tiger told him to bring along his skilled lieutenants."

He was unaware that Lin Yun had knocked out five of Brother Snake's men at the bar just moments ago.

With that in mind, Arkin no longer hesitated and joined the fray.

"Clang——Clang——Clang——"

The weapons clashed, creating a series of metallic noises.

Unlike his calculated strikes during the initial bar brawl with those five men, and the two which followed, Lin Yun found it impossible to block all the attacks as his adversaries, numbering over ten, fought him at once.

Just as the saying goes, "Two fists could not outmatch four hands," and it was precisely the case here.

"Bang——Bang——"

Very quickly, two or three rods struck Lin Yun.

At the critical moment, Lin Yun could only dodge the most vital spots.

Even so, the blows still caused him great pain.

These were iron rods after all, ordinary flesh and bone couldn't withstand their impact.

However, because Lin Yun had avoided the crucial areas, and due to his indomitable willpower, he continued to fight these men as if nothing had happened.

Luckily, since Lin Yun was grappling with a crowd, the opponents hesitated to swing their weapons freely, for fear of hitting their comrades.

As a result, Lin Yun could return a blow for every hit he received.

But the difference was, one blow from Lin Yun could knock a man down, while several blows from the others could not bring Lin Yun down.

"Clang——"

Lin Yun blocked another strike.

This hit made Lin Yun's hand tremble and go numb.

Lin Yun caught a glimpse of the owner of the rod from the corner of his eye, it was the blonde youth whom he had noticed before.

This was already the third strike from this adversary.

Unexpectedly, there was a master among these men.

Judging by his strength, this blonde youth may have already reached the Early Mingjin Stage and was very close to stepping into the Mid Mingjin Stage.

Not only this blonde youth, but a few other men around him also possess considerable strength.

If he had encountered such a situation before acquiring the Cosmic Trading System, he would probably be in great danger…

However, things were different now.

A cold gleam flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.

Lin Yun flipped his left hand and a pill appeared, the next moment, Lin Yun swallowed it.

"Boom——"

A wave of formidable strength erupted within Lin Yun's abdomen, instantly filling his whole body with power.

A Martial Arts Pill.

This was the Martial Arts Pill that Lin Yun had bought with Spirit Energy Points at the bar earlier.

It could allow his strength to erupt instantly.

Lin Yun had other options for exchanges, like firearms, hand grenades, or a defensive thunder vest which, upon contact, would knock a person down like a high-voltage electric shock. However, using such items might draw too much attention on this society, and the gratification of personally taking action would not be present.

It wouldn't be as thrilling.

Moreover, such items could be bought for later use as ace in the hole.

Otherwise, if others were to become wary and use other means to deal with him, how would he defend himself?

At present, he didn't have many Spirit Energy Points, his options for trading were very limited, he couldn't just rely on one particular item.

He didn't exchange for the usual Martial Arts Pills that enhance strength, because the cheap ones offered slow effects while the effective ones were too expensive.

The single-use Martial Arts Pill that caused a sudden outburst of power was just right.

"Clang——Clang——Clang——"

Lin Yun swung his hand, he immediately felt that his movements had become much faster, and a rod that almost hit him, was skilfully avoided. When their weapons met, it almost disarmed the attackers.

"Late Mingjin Stage?"

Seeing this spectacle, Arkin exclaimed involuntarily.

A moment ago, he had been secretly lamenting.

The adversary had great strength and his reaction speed was obviously that of a Martial Artist, and more than that, his combat level was higher than Arkin's.

The transformation in a Martial Artist's body made both their strength and reaction speed surpass that of an ordinary person.

Even a Martial Artist at the Early Mingjin Stage could easily deal with three to five ordinary men.

It was Arkin's Early Mingjin Stage abilities that allowed him to move through the circle of fighters like fish in the water, while the opponent was already in the Mid Mingjin Stage…

This time, even if they managed to defeat the adversary, the cost would be extremely high.

Moreover, judging by the young age of the opponent, who had already cultivated to the Mid Mingjin Stage, there must have been a renowned teacher's guidance. After dealing with him, who knew what kind of trouble they would provoke afterwards?

If Arkin had known earlier that the opponent was a Martial Artist, and that too in the Mid Mingjin Stage, he might have persuaded Brother Tiger to abandon this mission.

As he was thinking this, the adversary's strength suddenly increased and his reaction speed became faster, and that gave Arkin another shock.

Increasing strength and faster reaction, could it be that the adversary had broken through the Mid Ming Jin Stage and advanced to the Late Mingjin Stage?

Given the young age of the adversary, if he really made it to the Late Mingjin Stage, what kind of martial arts talent would he be manifesting?

And his guidance teacher in the background might be extraordinary?

Most importantly... a martial artist at the Late Mingjin Stage was not an ordinary martial artist!

Even among martial artists, he would be considered a master!

Facing such an adversary, their dozen or so men might not stand a chance at all!

"Clang——Clang——Clang——"

True to Arkin's intuition, Lin Yun swung his iron rod swiftly, quickly disarming several men.

Without their weapons, these men's strength diminished greatly.

Soon, Lin Yun used his rod to hit these men one by one.

"Bang——Bang——Bang——"

One by one, they were struck to the ground by Lin Yun, unable to rise again.

"Now, do you still want my leg?"

Finally, out of more than ten people was left only Arkin. Lin Yun swung his rod, stopping just a hair's breadth away from Arkin's nose, speaking coldly.
