Chapter 372 Battle and True Invulnerability

The tall stranger took a few steps and then bent down to draw out the weapon from the officer’s neck, before he walked to Lucas Barton’s car.

He swung the weapon and broke the driver’s window to reveal Lucas Barton’s face, which was full of fear and desperation. “Go to hell, you monster!”

Bang!

The tall stranger staggered back and fell down.

Lucas Barton seemed stunned for a moment, before he burst out laughing. “Haha. You’re dead, you monster! Come again if you think you’re good! Hahahaha!”

He was holding the Remington that had been stored in the police car, and which he had used to shoot the tall stranger.

Narrowing his eyes, Luke continued observing the battle in silence.

Two seconds later, the tall stranger on the ground sat up and got to his feet again, putting an end to Lucas Barton’s laughter. He cried out, “That’s impossible! Why aren’t you dead, you monster? Die!”

Bam! Bam!

The shotgun fired twice more, but the tall stranger only staggered a little before he regained his balance. He stretched out his hand.

“Ah!” A moment later, the tall stranger pulled a wretchedly screaming Lucas Barton out of the car with brutal force.

He had been unable to move because the tree branch had pierced his right shoulder. He was free now, but at the cost of leaving his right arm behind in the car.

Lucas Barton writhed and screamed as he struggled to crawl away from his inevitable doom. The tall stranger silently raised his weapon high.

Shua!

Lucas Barton stopped screaming and moving. His body was still in the act of crawling away, but his head had already been sent flying.

Thud!

Lucas Barton’s headless body hit the muddy ground.

Crack! Boom!

The world was lit up by another lightning bolt.

In the dark, wet woods, the tall stranger slowly raised his head and looked at Luke, who was dozens of meters away.

Luke smiled and... quickly slipped away.

Without hesitation, the tall stranger gave chase. A few minutes later, a scream rang out.

Luke stopped and observed the tall stranger, who was striding forward again.

Not far away behind the tall stranger was the last fleeing county police officer; it was just that his body had been split into two. Luke took a deep breath and looked at the tall and large stranger who was approaching him at a steady pace. He raised his hand with a smile and pulled the trigger. Bang! Bang! The tall stranger staggered and paused for a moment, before he started moving again with quick steps.

Luke sweated. “Looks like the rain affects my shooting accuracy.”

He had been aiming at the tall stranger’s eyes, but had hit the guy’s cheeks instead.

But the guy had been absolutely fine after being hit by a car, and had resumed his killing spree just two seconds later, so Luke didn’t really expect to kill him in just two shots.

The tall stranger rushed at Luke and raised his weapon again.

Luke curled his lip and pushed hard off of his feet to retreat rapidly while he fired his Glock again.

Bang! Bang!

There were only twenty meters between them this time, and Luke was able to shoot the guy in his eyes.

He could see dark fluid gush out of the tall stranger’s eyes, but that only stopped the latter for a brief moment, before he started chasing Luke again.

“Huh?” Luke exclaimed in surprise, and quickly retreated. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luke aimed at the guy’s eyes again.

This time, the tall stranger lowered his head and the bullets didn’t hit his eyes. His head jolted slightly at the impact of the bullets, but he was already bringing his weapon down.

Pushing off of his feet to retreat several meters away, Luke frowned. “So sturdy?”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four bullet holes were left in the tall stranger’s chest.

But they were even less effective; they did nothing more than make his body shudder a little.

Luke was lost for words. “Don’t tell me this damn thing is invulnerable!”

He had shot the stranger’s vital parts twelve times, but the stranger was still as alive as could be.

Bang! Bang! Luke fired the last bullet at the tall stranger’s groin, and as he expected, it had no effect.

The tall stranger sped up and started to run as he swung his weapon at Luke again. Luke suddenly turned as he reloaded his Glock, and he fired like crazy once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! He used up the magazine, leaving yet another thirteen bullet holes in the tall stranger.

From the neck to the chest, then the abdomen down to the knee and ankle joints, they were all hit with bullets, but apart from rocking slightly with the impact, the man didn’t seem affected at all.

Luke sped up to increase the distance between them, before he pulled out a long alloy rod from his inventory.

It was one of the things he had used to skewer and roast meat with at the campsite.

He had been planning to use the metal for a special gun barrel, but for now, it would serve as a long weapon. Luke suddenly turned around and swung the rod hard to meet the tall stranger’s weapon.

Clang!

After an ear-piercing metallic clash, Luke was flung back several meters through the air. When he landed, he had to step down hard on the ground several times to stop his momentum.

What enormous force! He was quite impressed

At 40 Strength, he was sixteen times stronger than a regular person, and had never met an opponent as strong as he was.

No, this guy was slightly stronger. Luke’s weapon was longer and heavier than his opponent’s, and he should’ve gotten the upper hand in that clash, but didn’t.

The tall stranger spun around at the enormous counterforce from the alloy rod, but he was still holding his weapon tightly.

When he stopped, he tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn’t understand what had just happened.

Luke chuckled. “Hey, big guy, shall we go again?” He swung the rod as he spoke.

The tall stranger subconsciously raised his weapon. Clang! Bam!

There was the shrill sound of another metallic collision, followed by a heavy thud.

The tall stranger’s right arm dangled at his side.

He came out the loser when he warded off a fierce swing from Luke’s two-handed grip on the rod with one hand; not only was his right arm broken, Luke’s long rod had also hit his right shoulder.

Pulling his rod back, Luke clicked his tongue in amazement. “Truly invulnerable.”

The tall stranger’s shoulder had already caved in, which would’ve been a fatal injury for normal people, but this man was already pulling his legs out of the thick mud.

The next moment, the tall stranger lunged forward again, brandishing his weapon once more.
