His heartbeat quickened by a lot. David's vein bulged and he felt bloated with strength, as though he could crush anything that come his way. But sadly, that was only an illusion.

Adrenaline rush had been activated and David's battle prowess soared immediately. 

Whipping his head back, David had figured out that he wouldn't be able to escape from the Four-Winged Chicken grasp it was just too strong and its speed was a lot faster than his. 

Steeling his resolve, he stood still, he was going to fight it out with the beast he didn't have much time anyway. 

Executing Cyclonic Kick, David fleeted about through the ruined building, evading every attack coming his way. 

Although it wasn't meant to be a motion technique, but since he had practiced the technique to perfection, he could utilise it as he wished. 

His legs kicked at the ground rapidly like a spiders feet, creating a storm of dust like a cyclone. This allowed him to be more agile and mobile, assisting him in a evading the attacks of the beast with the help of the walls and rooms in the apartment. 

Sliding downwards, David dodged half a roof that was about to crush him. Jumping to the top of a broken wall, the beak of the chicken instantly broke the almost broken wall in half, but David was quick, he jumped toward another wall, evading with astonishing agility. 

In just a half a minute, the entire apartment had collapsed and had been destroyed by the beast, turning it into ruins. 

David's expression wasn't good, there wasn't any obstacle he could use to evade, he could only utilise his technique for it.

The wind shook as another piercing sound rang out. "Damn! Why are you always pecking!" he complained but his body wasn't at all slow. 

He used the technique he always used at tiles like this, his body tilted to the left, and then to the right, his body instantly turned into a blur. 

He was shifting his center of gravity at rapid pace, creating an illusion as though David had three bodies.

Confused, the beast could only choose one of the body and since it had already attacked, it could only move the attack slightly and couldn't take it back. 

The technique was one he had learnt from on earth when playing soccer. Using the body's momentum, one could decieve the opponent into thinking he was moving in a specific direction but, the body wasoving in the opposite direction. 

The technique doesn't actually work if the opponent doesn't follow the host. If the opponent stood still, maintaining his or her body's momentum and keeping his or her centre of gravity in place, the opponent wouldn't be deceived. 

But if the opponent attempted to follow, he or she would be unable to decide as his or her body's momentum would automatically follow what the eyes had seen, pushing the body in one direction. 

But as David's body had been incredibly strengthened, with his fast speed and reflexes, three after images formed, one at each side of the body, deceiving his opponent. 

He called it the Phantom Shift technique. Creating to Phantoms by shifting his center if gravity repeatedly and orderly. It was by no means a hard technique to learn. 

As the sharp beak of the beast swooshed passt his side, David drew his fist and punched out.

The eyes of the beast flashed and a gleam flashed past its eyes and a vague intelligence one wouldn't expect from a beast could be seen vaguely. It had been decieved once, what made this blood tonic think he could deceive it again. It thought. 

Outside of David's expectation, the two wings by the side of the beast lashed out with fierce speed. 

"Shit!" David cursed and he shouted softly. 

Scorching fury! 

Boom! Clang, bang! 

The temperature rose drastically and David successfully repelled a wing with his fist but he was hit by the second wing of the Four-Winged Chicken and his body skidded backwards three meters with the force. David was a bit surprised, he had thought he would be sent flying once again, but he surprisingly handled it a better than he had thought. 

But sadly, he didn't have much time left as his recently tempered and widened blood vessels and meridians were showing signs of wear and tear but the small vessels on his body were bursting apart one by one. 

He might have been dead from friction of his blood circulating on his body, from overheating and from the sheer power the mutagenic fluid was causing his muscles, bone and blood to develop. 

If he hadn't developed the bronze body yet, no one knows what his body would have become by now. 

The beast was both surprised and infuriated when it saw David only took a few steps backwards. 

When David was still feeling good about himself, his spine suddenly tingled and his expression changed. Looking upwards, he saw a massive claw descended upon himself with astonishing speed. 

Bursting out with all his strength, small blood vessels bursted apart and blood sprouted out into a mist in that area as David circulated Five-Fold Strength, Cyclonic Kick art and the ultimate move of Formless Heat.

His veins bulged and the large worn like veins that used to show up whenever he activated Three-Fold steps popped out even more ferociously. 

The ground instantly exploded, creating a one meter hole within but that wasn't enough, his legs tattered speedily on the air like a wheel, after which the air under his foot exploded from combustion due to the ultimate effect of Formless heat. 

It was like he had a rocket engine under his feet and his body was instantly kicked forwards by a terrifying force, moving his body under the body of the beast. 

But sadly, although he was fast, but the beast had still been faster. 

As David was about to escape the claw attack, Its sharp claws instantly slammed into David, sending him deeply imprinted into the ground. 

Bam! 

Blood sprouted out from his mouth, into the air. The beast eyes lit up upon seeing this and it immediately opened up its mouth, swallowing the blood sprut in one gulp. 

It instantly shivered in excitement. This was exactly what it had been looking for, although the previous one that escaped might even taste better, this one, this one was still good. 

Viciously, the Four-Winged Chicken pressed its claws tightly to the ground, as though making sure David doesn't find a way to escape its claws.

Noticing that something was wrong adn it stared violently at the ground before it, it was stunned when it saw that there was nothing trapped within its claw. 

It took a few moments to realise that its Prey had escaped. Using its claws as digger, the basic ability of all chickens, digging the ground to search for food. 

No matter how evolved a beast might be, there are certain characteristics that would never change. For example the Poisonous Leaping Toad, its characteristics to croak would never change even as it evolve for the better. 

One swipe, two swipes, three... It was u known how many times it dug through the sand, but it couldn't even spot david at all. 

In its fury, its claws suddenly turned into countless shadow and sand flew about, creating a massive heap of sand and dust behind the beast at a did. 

After a minute of searching underground, it was stunned as it couldn't find the Prey it had been looking for. Only some Dirt-Pale Worm were dragged up from time to time. 

Unable to hold back its fury. Its stomped the ground in anger, while flapping its wings as a sign that it was truly infuriated. He had already had a taste of his Prey, but the Prey still escaped, it was truly infuriating. 

Falling down through the small hole. David groaned deeply as his injured body feel from a five meters high. 

Bam! 

Blood flowed out from his lips once more and David vomited two mouthfuls of blood. He was incredibly weak at the moment. All the techniques and ability he had activated was forcefully interrupted and David didn't have a mind to forcefully keep circulating the technique as they could injure his foundation. 

If he repeatedly activated Five-fold Strength, thereby wounding his vessels, blood tissues, cells and worning out his muscles, his foundation would be deeply wounded and it will cost him quite a lot to have it repaired. 

Just when David was about to be killed by the beast, he instantly activated Earth-Swim with all his strength. 

Boosted by the power of his bronze body and the Five-fold strengthening technique. His muscles quivered and the air buzzed strangly. Almost half a second later, the hard sand was instantly disintegrated into dust, and his body went into the sand as though he was digging his way deep underground. 

He couldn't just die by the hands of a stupidly beast that had been incredibly lucky to have upgraded. 

So having no other choice at all, David activated Earth-Swim and let himself free fall in between the disintegrated sand 

Twisting his body, said saw that he had been right, this building also had a basement but the iron that had been used to cover the basement looked incredibly weak.
