Pursuit and Mechanical Arm

Su Ming ran desperately forward, trying to escape the pursuit behind him.

He didn't even consider asking the mechanics in the workshop for help.

After all, most of these mechanics were ordinary people who hadn't cultivated, only skilled in mechanical repairs.

If they had cultivated, they wouldn't have been assigned here to work by the Empire's laws.

What help could they offer if he asked for it?

He could only save himself!

Su Ming's mind was terrifyingly clear at this moment. He cast his gaze behind him.

It was pitch black; he couldn't see anything.

But Su Ming knew that a certain aura was locked onto him tightly, never fading even slightly!

The assassin behind him was still following him!

Almost instantly, Su Ming vaguely understood who was behind him.

It must have been Su Rui, that old scoundrel, who sent someone to assassinate him.

After all, he had been muddle-headed for over a decade and couldn't have offended anyone.

The only one who wanted to eliminate Su Ming was none other than his own brother, Su Rui!

A cold glint flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

Damn it...

He had felt that although there were conflicts, he didn't necessarily have to kill Su Rui in the future.

But clearly, Su Rui didn't think the same way and wanted to eliminate him now.

If that's the case, what's there to hesitate about? Once I find an opportunity in the future, Su Rui, you will surely die by my hand!

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

A faint gunshot sounded from behind again, accompanied by the sound of a bullet tearing through the air, reaching Su Ming's ears.

Instantly, Su Ming's body changed direction rapidly again. He stepped with a mysterious gait, actually dodging the bullet shot from behind.

"Windbreaker Burst Pistol, effective range 300 meters, 6 rounds per magazine!"

In an instant, based on the sound of the bullet and the explosion it caused, Su Ming instantly identified the model and specifications of the firearm behind him.

There are 4 bullets left!

The assassin behind him had 4 more bullets.

And the person following Su Ming behind him, of course, didn't expect Su Ming to instantly determine that his gun only had four bullets left.

He moved like a ghost, slowly following Su Ming, his eyes looking at Su Ming with indifference.

He then raised the pistol in his hand and fired another shot at Su Ming's back.

He was a professional assassin; he could kill from a distance with a firearm and would never engage in close combat.

Moreover, he had extreme confidence in his marksmanship.

Don't underestimate his simple shots; each one was almost a prediction of the opponent's movements, using the lock on their aura to reduce their room for evasion.

But what shocked him was...

This "idiotic" Second Young Master of the Kellen Family twisted his body again, instantly dodging his third shot!

If dodging the first two shots was luck, then dodging this third shot meant there was definitely something wrong!

He narrowed his eyes, replaying the scene in his mind, and then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes...

This Second Young Master is not simple!

Just now, although it seemed like a simple twist, he had precisely found a loophole within the confinement of his aura, causing his bullet to miss.

An ordinary person would absolutely not have such terrifying reaction and evasion capabilities.

This Second Young Master before him... everyone had underestimated him...

Clearly... he is a master!

However, what he didn't know was...

Su Ming's series of movements were all unconscious dodges.

They belonged to a form of muscle and subconscious memory!

In the previous sixteen years, Su Ming's consciousness had been sealed by the system in a confined space and forced to cultivate.

However... cultivation couldn't be just one technique, or Su Ming's consciousness would have gone mad from boredom!

Besides making him practice cultivation techniques, the system also taught him various footwork and energy control methods, training his evasion skills.

The system even trained his shooting ability.

For a full sixteen years, he spent eight hours every day constantly dodging barrages of gunfire set up by the system!

Especially in the later stages, it became increasingly insane. At the absolute limit, Su Ming once dodged a total of ten thousand attacks fired from all directions within five minutes, without stopping.

This was an incredibly formidable achievement. It was estimated that very few individuals in the entire Empire could accomplish this.

This meant that through sixteen years of continuous training and learning new ways to exert force, Su Ming had become a terrifying warrior capable of easily evading all attacks and escaping even when surrounded in the vastness of space!

Deep within his mind, within his consciousness, Su Ming had long ago forged a terrifying muscle memory.

Even though the assassin behind him was an expert marksman, hitting Su Ming was almost an impossible feat.

The young man's face was resolute, his right Mechanical Arm never once swinging.

He ran frantically forward, using the opportunity to evade the lock-on from behind.

Su Ming was waiting for an opportunity...

An opportunity for a killing blow!

When a hunter stares intently at their prey, doesn't the prey also look back at the hunter?

Finally, after several shots, the plainclothes assassin behind him stopped firing.

He had discovered that no matter how many bullets he fired, unless it was an area-of-effect weapon, the youth in front of him would dodge them all.

It sounded unbelievable, but at this moment, he had to accept the reality before him.

He shook his head, put away the pistol in his hand, and then his body moved, his speed increasing by more than tenfold!

He instantly lunged at Su Ming.

Since long-range firearms were ineffective, he would engage in close-quarters combat!

As a Level 3 Gene Warrior, his physical energy level reached 400 points. The youth opposite him, based on his assessment, was only slightly above 100.

With a 300-point difference in energy levels, he could completely overwhelm the opponent!

However... he didn't know that...

Right now, Su Ming was waiting for him to get close!

Su Ming judged that the person behind him was less than twenty meters away. His body instantly stopped, and he spun around. The Mechanical Arm in his hand whirred furiously, circuits flowing along its surface, imbuing the arm with a terrifying impact force.

Upon seeing Su Ming's raised Mechanical Arm, the assassin's pupils contracted sharply. He felt a deathly threat emanating from the arm!

But at this moment, due to the immense inertia, if he were to stop forcibly, he would inevitably be injured by the Mechanical Arm.

With no other choice, he could only pour all his strength into a powerful punch aimed directly at the Mechanical Arm.

A Level 3 Gene Warrior and a Level 2 Gene Warrior exchanged a punch in the open wilderness!
