Every man has his own ambitions, who can fathom them?
Wang Ye raced through the streets alone.
On a Red Rain day, most transportation had been suspended because the risks were simply too great.
He had already passed several Internal Patrol Officers patrolling the streets.
Times like this were when they were busiest.
Keeping close to the high-rises on the right side of the sidewalk, Wang Ye sped onward with a calm expression and sharply focused six senses.
He keenly sensed every slightest movement around him.
He was an ability user.
His mental perception far surpassed that of a Gene Warrior.
Still not here? So slow. Wang Ye grumbled inwardly, his mind focused.
Yu Hanchao had two ways to kill him.
Either hire a gunman or send an evolver.
The former was more likely.
After all, there was no need for an evolver to take such a huge risk for this.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the street ahead.
The sounds of pounding and shattering glass mixed with a woman's screams.
Wang Ye's pupils flickered as he swiftly moved forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
A muscular man with blood-red eyes and a twisted expression came into view.
His arms had swelled like steel as he frantically smashed cars by the roadside and the glass windows of a café.
The female clerk behind the café's tightly shut doors had gone weak in the knees. Her face pale with terror, she screamed hysterically.
A mutant!
At that moment—
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out from a distant high-rise.
Wang Ye sidestepped the bullet and shot forward like an arrow.
His concentrated mind clearly pinpointed the source of the gunshot and locked onto the target.
Two more gunshots followed, but once Wang Ye burst into motion, there was no way to hit him.
He vanished in the blink of an eye.
"How is that possible?!" The gunman froze.
He had carried out so many assassinations and had never missed.
How could a person possibly dodge bullets?
He had even killed an evolver before. It was no big deal.
"That's terrifying." The gunman quickly put away his pistol and placed it in its case.
The mission had failed.
This target was far too formidable.
He had to retreat immediately.
Otherwise—
Bang!
The rooftop door was kicked open, revealing a handsome face that filled the gunman with terror.
Too—too fast!
"Where are you going?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gunman drew his pistol and fired rapidly.
But he was too slow to pull the trigger.
His bullets could not touch Wang Ye at all.
A swiftly moving figure suddenly appeared behind him. A chop to the neck knocked him unconscious.
Wang Ye carried the unconscious gunman in one hand and swiftly headed down from the rooftop.
There was still a mutant in the street to deal with.
Thud. Wang Ye tossed the gunman by the roadside, crossed the empty road, and raced toward the other side of the street.
The muscular mutant was already lying in a pool of blood.
Inside the café, the terrified clerk was repeatedly thanking an Internal Patrol Officer in uniform.
"You're welcome. It's what we're supposed to do," the male patrol officer said with a smile.
As if sensing someone approaching, the patrol officer turned around, glanced at Wang Ye, and nodded.
Wang Ye smiled faintly in return.
Then his eyes flashed. He immediately activated Enhancement Technique.
A gleam lit up in his muscles in an instant. Wang Ye abruptly drew his Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series and mercilessly slashed at the patrol officer.
The latter's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly retreated.
He did not even have time to draw his weapon and hastily raised his left arm to block.
Crack!
His bracer shattered, and the slash fractured his bone.
If he had not deflected the force with his left arm in time, the entire arm would have been gone.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The patrol officer drew his Cloud Falcon Battle Sword I Series and blocked repeatedly.
His swordsmanship was exquisite and agile. He opened up distance from Wang Ye, clearly at the major mastery level.
"How did you find out?" The patrol officer stared at Wang Ye, his gaze filled with wariness and confusion.
"You had too many flaws." Wang Ye silently activated Enhancement Technique, empowering the Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series. "You're a Third Order Gene Warrior, so you must be an Intermediate Patrol Officer, yet you're wearing a junior patrol officer's uniform."
"Besides, street patrols are assigned to ordinary patrol officers and junior patrol officers. Intermediate Patrol Officers only mobilize when they encounter troublesome mutants."
After all, he had added a female patrol officer as a friend and learned about this in detail.
The male patrol officer's expression darkened.
He could not understand how Wang Ye had determined that he was a Third Order Gene Warrior.
"Don't blame me. I had no choice," the patrol officer said, gripping his sword hilt tightly, vicious light flashing in his eyes.
"Every man has his own ambitions. Who can fathom them?" There was not a trace of sympathy in Wang Ye's eyes.
He knew why this male patrol officer—no, this assassin—had apologized.
Because he was a Third Order Gene Warrior. Even with his left arm injured in the sneak attack, he still believed he could kill Wang Ye.
But he had misjudged one thing.
Since Wang Ye had seen through him from the start, why would he show himself without absolute confidence?
There was no cure for stupidity.
Rising Sun!
With a swift, simple opening move, Wang Ye moved like a cunning hare.
The empowered Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series shone brilliantly, its power comparable to a divine weapon.
The assassin immediately used Cloud Falcon Swordsmanship, dodging with nimble movements.
But his expression changed instantly.
This blade was too terrifying!
No, it was not just the blade!
The target's attack power, speed, and reactions all exceeded the intelligence and his expectations.
He had not noticed it during the sneak attack.
But the moment they clashed head-on, the difference was obvious!
"You're a Third Order Gene Warrior!" The assassin's pupils dilated. His confidence instantly shattered as he retreated again and again.
Yu Hanchao had deceived him!
Wasn't he supposed to be a Second Order Gene Warrior?
Wasn't he supposed to be a rookie who had just graduated?
His combat strength was absurdly formidable!
A Third Order Gene Warrior crushing a Second Order Gene Warrior was only natural.
But in a fight between Third Order Gene Warriors, whether in weaponry or blade technique, his opponent surpassed him.
How was he supposed to fight?
He could not fight!
And he was injured!
So young, yet fucking more devious than him!
Whoosh!
Wang Ye's attacks were fierce.
The empowered Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series was too terrifyingly powerful, even stronger than the highest III Series!
His explosively increased attack power left the assassin completely unable to defend.
Mastery-level Enhancement Technique, unleashed at full strength!
His weapon and body were strengthened simultaneously!
Wang Ye was in peak condition!
At this moment, he had truly entered the ranks of Third Order Gene Warriors.
Before cultivating Enhancement Technique, he might have found himself struggling every step of the way and trapped in a difficult situation, but now—
Boom!
Blade light blazed like fire, carrying overwhelming force.
Dawn's First Light flowed seamlessly after it, erupting with terrifying explosive power!
Wang Ye's momentum soared as he pressed forward step by step, ignoring his opponent's exquisite swordsmanship.
He feared nothing. The situation was entirely under his control.
An absolute suppression of strength!
The assassin dodged again and again. After finally finding a chance to counterattack, his Cloud Falcon Battle Sword struck Wang Ye's Exclusive Combat Suit with a piercing screech.
It did not break through?!
What kind of combat suit was this?
The assassin was dumbfounded.
A C3 defense rating, the absolute best among junior evolvers?
Yu Hanchao must have been insane to send him to assassinate a target with such terrifying overall combat strength!
Slash!
Radiant Hues of Myriad Paths!
Dazzling rays descended one after another. Wang Ye wanted to end this quickly, lest more trouble arise.
Each slash was fiercer than the last!
He no longer needed to worry about defense either, as long as he avoided vital points.
Driven into a corner with nowhere to retreat, the assassin's heart grew colder with every exchange.
With a clang, agony shot through his wrist, and the Cloud Falcon Battle Sword nearly flew from his hand. He gritted his teeth and counterattacked again, but his disadvantage became increasingly apparent.
Wang Ye brought down a thunderous slash, his attack reaching its peak. The powerful impact sent him flying into the wall.
Boom!
Pain tore through the assassin's internal organs as the wall shook violently and collapsed.
That figure suddenly appeared before him, murderous intent surging as the gleaming battle blade descended.
"No!!!"
Clang!
The assassin bit down so hard his teeth nearly shattered as he desperately blocked.
The Cloud Falcon Battle Sword I Series was completely smashed apart, and his body crashed heavily to the ground.
A suffocating slash appeared before him.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed.
The assassin's eyes widened as he collapsed unwillingly into the pool of blood.
