Bang! Bang!
Xu Mu was stepping back while shooting at Lin Yang.
Boom!
Lin Yang suddenly waved his arm, and the air in front of him exploded with a loud noise.
The two bullets were instantly sent flying.
Lin Yang looked at Xu Mu with a hint of disdain. "Do you think that with that thing, you're invincible?"
"I've never thought so."
Xu Mu opened the storage space from the side and quickly replaced the magazine.
"As the King of Mercenaries, I can tell you a little-known fact. The resistance of water is 800 times that of air."
Lin Yang said indifferently, "For ordinary small-caliber firearms, the straight-line distance in water is less than one meter."
"What are you trying to say?"
Xu Mu squinted his eyes.
"What I'm going to say next, you may not understand. The Gang Qi I release has a stronger resistance than water."
Lin Yang hooked his finger at Xu Mu, his eyes full of contempt. "Come on, I'll stand still."
Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
Xu Mu didn't hesitate for a second and emptied the magazine directly.
Lin Yang suddenly released Gang Qi from his body. As the bullets entered the range of the Gang Qi, they started to slow down.
Ding! Ding! Ding! ...
Lin Yang's hands were waving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
His daggers all sliced through the bullets.
Xu Mu's expression wasn't one of surprise. If one continuously released Gang Qi to protect themselves, it would indeed be very difficult to kill them with bullets.
Even large-caliber bullets could be deflected.
This was also the reason why when dealing with that bearded man before, Xu Mu didn't launch a direct attack.
Instead, he waited until the man wasn't releasing Gang Qi and launched a sneak attack to win.
"Xu Mu, are you desperate?"
Lin Yang continued walking towards Xu Mu, his eyes sinister. "But it's too late. You're going to die today. Not even Jesus can save you. I said so!"
Whoosh!
Lin Yang suddenly accelerated.
At this moment, Xu Mu let his hands hang down and stared at Lin Yang approaching.
Lin Yang sneered. It seemed that Xu Mu had given up.
Well, it was normal.
For an ordinary person like Xu Mu, facing a monster that couldn't be killed by guns was beyond his understanding.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang was in front of Xu Mu. He swiped his dagger across Xu Mu's neck.
Just then, Xu Mu's figure suddenly disappeared from in front of Lin Yang.
Xu Mu, who had flashed to the side, was holding a dagger and stabbing at Lin Yang's neck.
Lin Yang stared at him in disbelief.
He'd been tricked!
It was too late to defend now.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Yang was about to dodge, his foot suddenly slipped on the ground, causing his whole body to fall.
He quickly adjusted and rolled on the ground, successfully dodging Xu Mu's sneak attack.
[Destiny Power -50]
Black words appeared above Lin Yang's head.
Xu Mu had deliberately shown weakness to the enemy in order to launch a sudden attack and directly kill Lin Yang.
In that situation, even if he couldn't kill him, Lin Yang would at least be injured.
Unexpectedly, just at that moment, he slipped.
It saved his life instead.
Xu Mu turned back and stared at Lin Yang. As expected of the protagonist.
However, he also knew how to deal with these protagonists more effectively.
That was to crush them with strength!
Every time they were in a life-and-death crisis, they would lose a large amount of Destiny Power.
Once the Destiny Power returned to the level of an ordinary person, they could naturally be killed.
"Xu Mu... You! You've been hiding your strength!"
Lin Yang's breathing started to speed up. If it weren't for good luck just now, he would either be dead or seriously injured.
"I haven't been hiding my strength. I've never said that I'm not an ancient martial artist."
Xu Mu shrugged and put the Desert Eagle into the storage space.
This thing was useless in the fight against Lin Yang.
"Hehe! Not bad. But let me tell you, that was my last flaw!"
As Lin Yang spoke, red dots flashed from the pores on his face and hands.
Whoosh!
In an instant!
Lin Yang was in front of Xu Mu again. Each of his attacks was accompanied by the power of Qi.
The air kept roaring.
The two daggers in his hands were as flexible as extended fingers.
Clank! Clank! Clank! ...
As their weapons clashed, Lin Yang was like a spinning top, attacking Xu Mu's vital points every time.
Xu Mu kept retreating but still managed to block all the attacks.
Suddenly, taking advantage of a gap, Xu Mu slapped out his palm.
Clang!
A dark red long sword burst out from his palm.
When he first externalized his Gang Qi, the illusory sword he released was colorless, like water.
But when facing Lin Yang, he definitely couldn't hide his true strength.
He used the divine power realm, and the color of the sword became the color of his Qi.
Lin Yang stared at him in disbelief.
He tightened his grip on the daggers, crossed his arms, and shouted coldly, "Flame Cross!"
Whoosh!
His two daggers cut out a red spinning cross.
Boom!
The cross collided with the long sword, and the scattered power created ripples around.
Many of the big trees within a ten - meter radius were shaken and cracked, and countless leaves and branches rained down.
Lin Yang's face was full of disbelief, and he immediately ran towards the distance.
"Aren't you going to kill me? Are you scared!"
Xu Mu quickly chased after him. This was a good opportunity, and he definitely couldn't miss it.
Now that his strength was exposed, if he let Lin Yang live, Lin Yang would definitely not go after him but his family instead.
Lin Yang ran a short distance before retrieving his backpack from the ground.
He turned to face the approaching Xu Mu and swiftly drew a broken sword from it.
Even broken, the blade was half a meter long.
Swish!
Lin Yang swung it fiercely toward Xu Mu.
Xu Mu immediately raised his dagger to block.
Crack!
In an instant, the dagger was sliced clean in two.
Xu Mu cursed under his breath—was this the protagonist’s advantage?
Unable to win fair and square, he resorts to treasures.
But then Xu Mu remembered something: he, too, had once obtained a lost longsword.
He quickly retreated, crouching to scoop up a handful of fallen leaves as a distraction while accessing his storage space to retrieve the weapon.
His sword was pitch black, with a hilt shaped like demonic horns, exuding an intimidating aura.
Lin Yang swung again.
Xu Mu met the strike head-on.
Clang!
Their blades clashed, evenly matched.
[Destiny Power -20]
Lin Yang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He was furious.
This broken sword, which he’d stumbled upon by chance, could slice through metal like mud—he’d even called it a divine blade.
How could it be inferior to some random sword Xu Mu picked up?
Since leaving the country to become a mercenary, he’d fought his way through countless battles. When had he ever been humiliated like this?
“Damn you, Xu Mu! You’re dead!”
As he shouted, Lin Yang pulled out a crimson pill and swallowed it whole.
Boom!
Waves of energy erupted from his body.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breath ragged, saliva dripping uncontrollably from his mouth.
Red specks of light spread across his pores, multiplying rapidly.
They were no longer mere specks—they had merged into a glowing web, covering his skin in a crimson sheen.
Swish!
Lin Yang lunged like a madman, slashing wildly.
Xu Mu barely blocked the strike, but the impact sent a shockwave through his arms, leaving them numb.
The sheer force hurled him backward.
Crash!
Xu Mu smashed through a tree before skidding to a stop, crouching low.
Before he could even stand, Lin Yang was already upon him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, steel spikes shot toward Lin Yang from a distance.
Lin Yang glanced sideways and swung his sword, the sheer force deflecting the projectiles.
Dai Xingluo, standing far away, didn’t even have time to speak.
Lin Yang flashed before her and drove a fist into her chest.
“Guh—!”
Blood sprayed from Dai Xingluo’s mouth as her body was launched like a cannonball.
Boom!
She crashed into a distant boulder, the impact dealing a second brutal blow.
“Brother…”
Dai Xingluo weakly lifted a hand toward Xu Mu before her arm dropped, her body collapsing.
The rock behind her was smeared with blood.
Xu Mu stared, his mind blank.
Didn’t she realize this battle was far beyond her level?
Why would a villain like her save him?!
Xu Mu didn’t scream or shout. As Lin Yang charged again, murderous intent consumed him. “You think you’re the only one with power-ups?”
Boom!
Xu Mu’s Qi erupted outward.
Beneath his skin, intricate crimson lines surfaced—his spiritual veins. Their glow seeped through, illuminating his flesh.
Not just that—thin red threads emerged from his joints, one end embedded in his body, the other drifting like puppet strings.
Now, Xu Mu looked like a marionette controlled by unseen forces.
This was the Heavenly-Class technique: Spiritual Vein Armament!

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
