Blood for Blood

The bullet shot out from the muzzle at high speed. Mu Xiu's head twisted violently, pulled by his muscles, and moved away rapidly, once again dodging the incoming bullet.

Then, before he could even smile, the next bullet shot into his right eye, and bright red blood spurted out.

Hit!

He Ao quickly rolled away from his original position.

"Ah!"

A huge fist directly shattered the floor where He Ao had just stood, sending broken concrete flying. This was followed by Mu Xiu's painful roar.

Then, a storm of attacks came towards He Ao.

After being injured, Mu Xiu's attack speed became even faster. The powerful gusts from his fists grazed He Ao's body several times.

However, after being hit in the right eye, he lost part of his vision. So, although the attacks were more ferocious, He Ao's pressure was somewhat reduced.

The eyes are a weakness, but not a fatal point.

He Ao thought as he dodged.

But the eyes can be blinded. If both eyes are blinded, the pressure can be reduced, and an opportunity can be sought.

At this moment, the bleeding from Mu Xiu's eye had stopped. His right eye was completely damaged, and the bullet that had entered his eyeball had been forcibly dug out by Mu Xiu at some point.

His left eye was filled with bright red bloodshot veins, staring intently at He Ao, his fists continuously striking with the force of a hurricane.

"Die!!"

His voice was like a wild beast in the Wilderness, filled with extreme anger and rage.

His speed further increased. The terrifying force almost completely demolished the nearby walls, and the ceiling above was torn down like paper.

Amidst this violent outburst, He Ao dodged the deadly attacks again and again.

The Super Memory model in his mind became clearer and clearer, and his prediction of Mu Xiu's movements became more accurate. This allowed him to dodge many times before Mu Xiu even made his next move.

But even so, under the pursuit of that terrifying speed, He Ao's situation became increasingly difficult.

Although Super Memory can be called a divine skill, it is always more inclined towards auxiliary effects, and the enhancement from devouring the 'Waiter' was still too far behind Mu Xiu's strength.

Although Mu Xiu had no auxiliary abilities, by maximizing his speed and strength, he could still force He Ao to gasp for breath.

One force breaks all methods.

He Ao's physical quality was too far behind Mu Xiu's. No matter how powerful Super Memory was, it had only just advanced to Rank E.

There were two bullets left in the Gauss Gun.

He Ao's mind quickly simulated Mu Xiu's next move.

Without looking back, he raised his gun and fired.

Bang—

With a muffled groan, the rapidly flying bullet seemed to hit soft flesh.

Hit?

He Ao raised his head and looked at Mu Xiu.

He had aimed that shot at Mu Xiu's left eye.

And staring back at him was a blood-red eye.

Mu Xiu had used his already injured right eye to take the shot aimed at his left eye, and faked the effect of his eye being hit.

Not good!

He Ao's heart jolted, and he was about to dodge, but it was already too late.

Mu Xiu faking the hit on his right eye was to lure him into looking up to confirm. In such an intense battle, any momentary mistake would lead to devastating consequences.

A giant hand descended from the sky, directly grabbing He Ao and lifting him up.

"You?" Mu Xiu stared at He Ao with his one remaining eye, a cruel and crazed smile on his face, "Want to kill me? With just this?"

He used his other hand to cover the Gauss Gun He Ao was holding, and with force, dislocated He Ao's wrist, pulled the gun away, and threw it to the ground.

Mu Xiu looked at He Ao maniacally, and his hand suddenly squeezed tight.

He Ao felt a tremendous force on his chest. His ribs were instantly crushed by that sudden squeeze, but Mu Xiu seemed not to want to kill him directly. After that sudden squeeze, he applied pressure little by little, adding to his pain bit by bit.

Compared to Mu Xiu's peak Rank D strength, He Ao's strength was indeed pitifully weak. Even with the life-burning burst of Super Memory, attacking Mu Xiu was like an egg hitting a rock.

He was able to scare away the Dancer by relying on his mental resistance, verbal deterrence, and the timely appearance of the little boy. But these had no effect on a physical ability user like Mu Xiu.

Blood from his ruptured internal organs surged up through his trachea and esophagus, into He Ao's throat, and then spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Even at this moment, he still felt no fear. Instead, he stared intently at Mu Xiu, baring his teeth, which were covered in blood.

"Revenge! What a great word, but why must the path of your revenge be paved with the lives of my loved ones? Your loved ones are people! Are my loved ones not people?!!!"

His words towards the end had even turned into a somewhat hysterical roar.

This was from Ander, from a child who had lost his parents.

Mu Xiu was stunned by this question, the madness in his eyes briefly freezing for a moment.

The intense dust slowly settled as the brief battle paused, revealing a large picture.

It was a meticulously drawn Heptagram Pattern, and He Ao and Mu Xiu were currently standing in the exact center of this pattern.

On the seven points of the Heptagram, placed clockwise in order, were a brand new elementary school textbook, a notebook, a fountain pen, a briefcase, an exquisite ink bottle, fragments of a human skull, and human finger bones.

This was a Ritual Array!

The moment he saw this pattern, Mu Xiu immediately ran outwards. However, at that very moment, a dazzling pure white light had already risen from the Heptagram.

"I have seen,"

He Ao looked into Mu Xiu's eyes, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. His voice carried a calm madness,

"All Things Will Decay,"

A vast and boundless aura passed through endless space, bringing the gaze of a great deity. A terrifying sense of oppression suddenly bore down on every piece of land nearby.

"Only Truth is Infinite!"

Illusory figures appeared one by one in the air, and the distorted murmurs echoed in He Ao's ears again. Endless knowledge squeezed into his mind like a tide. These phantoms surrounded He Ao, chanting devoutly,

"All Things Will Decay, Only Truth is Infinite!"

He Ao had actually been setting up this communication ritual all along. The fact that he couldn't defeat Mu Xiu didn't mean he couldn't kill him.

An eye for an eye, Blood for Blood.

Selina rode a pitch-black heavy motorcycle, its engine roaring, weaving through towering buildings.

The distant high wall seemed close at hand. The surrounding area became increasingly desolate, and even the streetlights' glow was no longer bright. Some dilapidated streetlights stood by the roadside, casting a faint light.

This was the land of the wanderers, a place where the morning sun couldn't reach.

The howling wind beat against Selina's shoulders, scraping her skin. Her speed had far exceeded the road's maximum limit, but she had only one thought in her mind.

Faster, a little faster.

And just as she was constantly approaching that dilapidated building, a vast and profound majesty descended upon this land.

This majesty was incredibly familiar to her.

The God of Knowledge.
