Su Ming ran desperately forward, trying to shake off the person pursuing him.

He had never considered asking the mechanics in the workshop for help.

After all, most of these mechanics were ordinary people who had never cultivated. They were merely skilled at repairing machinery.

If they had all cultivated, they would not have been exiled here by imperial law to work.

What help could they provide if he asked them?

He could only save himself!

Su Ming's mind was frighteningly clear at that moment. He turned his gaze behind him.

It was pitch-black. He could not see a thing.

But Su Ming knew that an aura had him firmly locked on. From beginning to end, it had not faded in the slightest!

The killer behind him was still following!

Almost instantly, Su Ming vaguely figured out who the person behind him was.

It had to be that old schemer, Suri, who had sent someone to assassinate him.

After all, he had been muddleheaded for more than a decade and could not possibly have offended anyone.

The only person who wanted Su Ming dead was none other than his biological older brother, Suri!

A chill flashed through Su Ming's eyes.

Damn it...

He had originally felt that although there were conflicts between them, he did not necessarily have to kill Suri in the future.

But clearly, Suri did not think that way. He already wanted to erase Su Ming from existence.

Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about? Once I find an opportunity in the future, you, Suri, will definitely die by my hand!

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Another faint gunshot came from behind, accompanied by the sound of a bullet tearing through the air as it reached Su Ming's ears.

In an instant, Su Ming's body changed direction sharply once again. His feet moved in a mysterious pattern, and he actually dodged the bullet fired at him from behind.

"Windbreaker Burst Pistol, effective range: 300 meters. Magazine capacity: six rounds!"

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

Four rounds left!

The killer behind him had four rounds left.

The person following Su Ming had not expected him to determine in an instant that his pistol had only four bullets remaining.

Like a ghost, he slowly followed behind Su Ming, watching him with an indifferent gaze.

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

He was a professional killer. If he could kill someone from a distance with a firearm, he would never engage in close combat.

Moreover, he had tremendous confidence in his marksmanship.

Though it looked as if he had fired a simple shot, every bullet had practically predicted his opponent's movements. By locking onto his aura, he reduced the space available for his opponent to dodge.

But what shocked him immensely was that...

This "idiot" second young master of the Kellen Family twisted his body again and instantly dodged his third shot!

If dodging the first two shots could be attributed to luck, then being able to dodge the third shot meant there was definitely something wrong!

The man narrowed his eyes and repeatedly replayed the scene in his mind. Then a sharp glint flashed through his eyes...

This second young master was no simple character!

Although it had looked like a simple twist, he had happened to slip through a gap in the lock on his aura, causing the bullet to miss completely.

An ordinary person could never possibly possess such terrifying reaction and dodging abilities.

Everyone had underestimated this second young master...

Clearly... he was an expert!

However, what he did not know was...

All of Su Ming's movements had been instinctive dodges.

They belonged to a kind of muscle and subconscious memory!

For the sixteen years before this, Su Ming's consciousness had been sealed by the system in a confined space, where he had been forced to cultivate continuously.

However... it was impossible to cultivate only one technique. Otherwise, Su Ming's consciousness would have been bored to death!

Besides teaching him cultivation techniques, the system had also taught him various footwork and force-exertion methods while training his dodging ability.

It had even trained his marksmanship.

For a full sixteen years, he had spent eight hours every day constantly dodging a storm of bullets arranged by the system!

Especially in the later stages, the training had become increasingly abnormal. At its most extreme, Su Ming had once spent five consecutive minutes dodging attacks fired from ten thousand different angles in all directions.

This was an extraordinarily terrifying achievement. It was estimated that, across the entire Empire, only a handful of people could accomplish it now.

This meant that, through sixteen years of unceasing training and constant study of new ways to exert force, Su Ming had become a terrifying warrior who could easily dodge every attack and escape on his own even when surrounded in space!

In his mind and consciousness, Su Ming had long since developed an astonishing muscle memory.

At this moment, no matter how superb the killer's marksmanship was, hitting Su Ming was practically impossible.

The young man wore a resolute expression, and the Mechanical Arm on his right hand had yet to move.

He ran wildly forward, using the opportunity to evade the aura locking onto him from behind.

Su Ming was waiting for an opportunity...

An opportunity to kill with one strike!

When a hunter kept his eyes fixed on his prey, how could the prey not be watching the hunter as well?

Finally, after several consecutive shots, the killer in civilian clothes behind him stopped firing.

He had already discovered that no matter how many bullets he fired, unless he used a large-scale weapon, the young man ahead would dodge them all.

It sounded unbelievable, but at this moment, he had no choice but to believe what was happening before his eyes.

He shook his head and put away the pistol in his hand. Then his body moved, and his speed surged by more than a notch!

In an instant, he charged toward Su Ming with murderous intent.

Since firearms were useless at long range, he would kill him in close combat!

As a Level 3 Gene Warrior, his Physical Level had reached 400 points. Based on his judgment, the young man opposite him was probably only slightly above 100.

The two sides had a Physical Level difference of 300 points—more than enough to create an overwhelming advantage!

However... he did not know that...

Su Ming had been waiting for him to come close!

Su Ming judged that the person behind him was less than twenty meters away. His body abruptly stopped, and he turned around. The Mechanical Arm in his hand began spinning wildly, its circuits surging nonstop and generating a terrifying impact force.

When the killer saw Su Ming raise the Mechanical Arm, his pupils suddenly contracted. He sensed a threat of death coming from it!

But because of his tremendous momentum, if he forced himself to stop, he would inevitably be injured by the Mechanical Arm.

With no other choice, he could only use all his strength and punch fiercely toward the Mechanical Arm.

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