Chapter 28: Assault of the Demon's Claw

The counterattack from the enemies caused trouble for Li Wei. Two bullets hit him, and while the one on his Demon's Left Hand didn't matter, the other one pierced his left thigh.

Luck was not on his side, and Li Wei furrowed his brow, gritting his teeth against the pain.

Having experienced gunshot wounds before, he knew how to urgently deal with injuries. However, even just listening, he could tell that the gang members were steadily closing in. There was no time to tend to his leg wound.

Despite that, based on his experience, the injury to his leg shouldn't be too severe, at least much lighter than he had expected. The pain in his thigh was within a tolerable range, and the bullet seemed to be lodged in the muscle without reaching the bone.

Trying to move his legs, there was some pain, and the movement wasn't as smooth as before, but at least he could still move.

This was by no means the typical appearance after a person had been shot.

Li Wei speculated that the gene drugs he had injected into himself had brought about considerable effects. The comprehensive enhancement of his physique represented more than just an increase in strength. A regular person shot in the thigh would likely be immobilized, but he, despite experiencing some impact on flexibility and speed, could still maintain basic combat capabilities.

The genetic evolution of the new era was indeed powerful.

Removing the empty magazine and reloading, Li Wei dragged his injured leg to continue moving.

At this moment, he hid at the front of the "Mustang," while most of the enemies were on the side. Currently, both sides were not in each other's line of sight, but any slight movement from the enemies could expose him.

Moving quickly, he soon reached the other side of the car.

Through the glass, Li Wei saw Yasha hiding in the car, lying on the back seat.

She had obviously noticed Li Wei.

The girl appeared calm and gestured to Li Wei. He understood.

"Those guys are approaching in a large arc from the front of the car."

Li Wei smiled at her, indicating for her to stay hidden and then began to listen carefully.

So far, he had killed ten gang members who had exploded or were shot by his bullets. Now, he had to deal with the remaining four enemies.

The other three weren't much of a threat, and the only one to watch out for was the guy in the gang who seemed to have completed extreme training.

His name was Kues. He had a red headband supporting a muscular body, and the most memorable aspect was the pair of steel knuckle dusters he wore.

The gang members called him "Boss Kues."

Kues seemed to be a power type opponent, relying on hand-to-hand combat as his primary fighting style.

However, this was only a judgment based on appearance, and Li Wei couldn't know the actual situation until he faced him.

Li Wei initially wanted to clear out Kues's underlings before engaging with him. However, it seemed unlikely now.

Listening to the footsteps, the remaining Skull Gang members were cautious about Li Wei's abilities. After the death of ten members, they didn't dare to be careless. The four people's positions were close, leaving no big openings.

Li Wei sighed; if only he had a high-explosive grenade in his hand.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

In that case, he had to come up with a riskier plan.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei inserted the SN97 back into the holster, pulled out the short knife from his waist, and braced himself for the pain in his injured leg.

He was about to use a more daring plan.

With a deep breath, Li Wei put the SN97 away, grabbed the short knife, and used his other hand to pull out the Demon's Left Hand.

Bending his legs slightly, enduring the pain, he then sprung forward. With the utmost explosive force, he charged out from behind the "Mustang."

The gunshot wounds on his left leg were causing him considerable pain, and his speed was somewhat affected. However, thanks to his enhanced physique, his thigh muscles could still work, maintaining at least basic functionality for explosive sprints.

The remaining Skull Gang members, who had suffered losses at Li Wei's hands, were now on guard. As Li Wei burst out, they immediately opened fire.

Even though the distance wasn't far, and Li Wei would need at least a few breaths to cover it, that time was enough for them to fire several shots. Moreover, at such a close range, even these gang members had a reasonably high probability of hitting the target.

Four handguns fired at Li Wei, rattling with gunfire.

But, given the situation, how could he be afraid?

The surging demonic power rose from his left arm like a bull's head. A demonic hand, roughly the size of a shield, formed in front of him. Its sharp claws opened, covering an area no less than a small shield.

Controlled by Li Wei, the demonic hand not only blocked the incoming bullets but also fiercely grabbed at the enemies in front!

This energy-formed demonic hand, launched at a medium-range, was a long-distance attack!

On its swift approach, the sharp claws ruthlessly pierced the chest of one of the gang members, passing through it. Then, it seized the neck of another guy behind him and with a slight exertion, snapped his neck.

As the demonic hand completed its mission and dissipated, Li Wei had already rushed up. With a flash of his knife, he attacked the last remaining gang member.

However, his slash was intercepted.

The leader of the gang, Kues, wouldn't let Li Wei be so arrogant at this point.

A iron fist slammed down on Li Wei's knife.

Li Wei felt that, in terms of flexibility, speed, and skill, Kues wasn't outstanding. However, his strength surpassed even Zhang Zongming and the vampire.

As this muscular man swung a pair of iron fists, launching one powerful attack after another, the last remaining gang member had no easy task for Li Wei to handle.

This guy, scared out of his wits after almost being slashed by Li Wei, scrambled a few steps back after barely escaping. Turning around, he looked at his boss fighting with Li Wei, hesitated, raised his handgun, aimed twice, but didn't dare to shoot.

In the midst of the intense battle, Li Wei, seeing this scene out of the corner of his eye, felt a bit more at ease, releasing all his strength to counterattack!

The Demon's Left Hand, now exposed from beneath the bandages, also joined the fray.

The two exchanged powerful punches, with Li Wei taking a heavy hit. Even with the enhanced strength of the Demon's Left Hand, it couldn't withstand Kues's steel knuckle dusters.

A supremely powerful opponent specializing in strength was not easy to deal with.

However, it wasn't over. Enduring the pain in his left hand, Li Wei once again triggered the demonic power.

A blue demonic energy-formed giant hand suddenly appeared, reaching for the opponent's face.

At such close range, it was incredibly difficult to react. However, Kues had seen this move before and maintained vigilance. It wasn't so easy for Li Wei to catch him off guard.

Yet, just as he was about to pull back and defend himself, a gunshot rang out.
