"Boom!"

A huge sound rang out, and then two figures were sent flying back simultaneously.

Su Ming sat on the ground, feeling a burning pain spread through his body. He knew he must have been severely injured in this clash.

However... the assassin opposite him was in an even worse state than Su Ming.

He too was sent flying back. When he stood up, one of his arms was hanging limply from his shoulder, completely useless!

His arm had been broken in this exchange!

The assassin looked at Su Ming with shock, then his gaze fixed intently on the Mechanical Arm in Su Ming's hand.

"Your Brain Domain Level is -3, how can you unleash such powerful offensive force now!"

Deep confusion flashed in the assassin's eyes.

He had never imagined that Su Ming would actually raise his Brain Domain Level and become a Gene Warrior with a developed brain domain!

A Level 2 warrior clashing head-on with a Level 3 warrior, resulting in the Level 3 Gene Warrior's arm being broken, was truly unbelievable.

But in reality...

This era was precisely like this!

While individual combat prowess still held significant importance, the combination of technology and the brain domain could also erupt with brilliant radiance!

A Level 2 Gene Warrior, using a Mechanical Arm with an Energy Level of 130, could actually contend with a Level 3 Gene Warrior!

Physical strength was no longer the sole factor. Machinery, mechanical materials, mechanical technology, Brain Domain Level – multiple elements were gradually playing a crucial role in combat.

A Level 3 Gene Warrior, despite their powerful physique, without a Brain Domain Level and unable to interface with machinery, would ultimately only be able to fight a Level 2 Gene Warrior who had developed their brain domain to a draw!

This outcome sent a massive shockwave through the mind of this low-level Level 3 assassin.

Just then, Su Ming frowned. Suddenly, he coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the assassin's expression shifted, and he immediately realized something.

"Good! I thought I was outmatched. You merely used the material of the Mechanical Arm to prevent your own arm from fracturing, but the immense recoil force still caused severe damage to your body."

"Your internal organs are probably ruptured, and your arm is gradually losing strength!"

The assassin's face lit up with joy. With a cold expression, he launched another Assassination Strike towards Su Ming.

So what if he only had one arm left?

As long as he killed the opponent, modern medical technology could even regenerate lost limbs, so why would he care about a broken arm?

Su Ming looked at the assassin with a grave expression.

What the assassin said was true. Despite Su Ming appearing unharmed, his internal organs had already been shattered by the impact.

Although a Level 2 Gene Warrior could use a Mechanical Arm to contend with a Level 3 Gene Warrior, there was still a vast gap between their levels.

In fact, if Su Ming hadn't modified the Mechanical Arm to an Energy Level of 130, relying on its original 80 Energy Level, he would probably have suffered a fracture from that single blow!

"You have no more tricks up your sleeve. Even if you force yourself to use the Mechanical Arm, you can't pose much of a threat to me anymore! You're destined to die by my hand!"

The assassin was extremely confident. He had killed countless people.

Seeing Su Ming's current state, he knew he had little ability left to resist!

He rushed in front of Su Ming, preparing to launch a fatal blow!

However... at that very moment, brilliant starlight erupted from within Su Ming's body.

Under the illumination of the starlight, Su Ming's injuries instantly recovered.

"Beep... Physical Vitality is 45%. Full recovery requires the consumption of 30 Starlight Points. Do you wish to consume them?"

"Consume!"

A private conversation unfolded silently in Su Ming's mind.

After the starlight faded, Su Ming's physical condition returned to its peak state.

He looked at the assassin charging towards him with a cold gaze, a sneer of disdain appearing on his lips.

"Beep beep beep..."

The Mechanical Arm activated again, current surging wildly.

The next moment, Su Ming raised the Mechanical Arm in his hand and, under the assassin's look of utter terror, slammed a punch towards him.

"Boom!"

One punch!

This assassin, left with only one arm, was directly pulverized by the Mechanical Arm. His body was torn to shreds by the immense force, his eyes wide open in death.

Su Ming removed the Mechanical Arm, breathing slightly. The final blow also carried a strong recoil force, but fortunately, the Mechanical Arm absorbed most of it, leaving very little to transfer to Su Ming.

Therefore, Su Ming did not vomit blood again like before.

Su Ming dragged the Mechanical Arm and walked up to the assassin. He then crouched down and began searching him.

"Hmm? Space Watch?"

After searching for a while, Su Ming found nothing. Just as he was wondering, his gaze suddenly fell upon a greatly damaged watch on the assassin's arm.

Su Ming then picked up the arm.

This was a Space Watch, one of the finest inventions after the New Cosmic Era.

Don't let its small size fool you; it has a built-in independent space system. A single watch likely possesses over ten cubic meters of space, capable of storing a great many things.

And it's convenient to carry, perfect for robbery and murder...

However... Su Ming glanced at the watch in his hand. No matter how he adjusted it, the watch remained unresponsive.

Su Ming gave a wry smile. It must have been broken during their recent clash, rendering it unusable.

But it didn't matter, as long as the Space Core inside was intact, the contents wouldn't be lost.

Once he repaired the watch, he could examine its contents.

Su Ming looked at the assassin's corpse. After some thought, he used his Mechanical Arm to dig a large hole and bury the body.

As for whether it would be discovered, or if there would be trouble afterward, none of that truly mattered.

Planet Nop was a planet very close to the front lines.

Such planets were uninhabited and generally very chaotic.

Moreover, due to their proximity to the front lines, law enforcement only ensured normal security in commercial districts and factory areas.

In desolate areas like this, a few deaths every day were completely normal; who would bother to investigate!

As long as one didn't openly kill someone without reason in front of others, trouble wouldn't find them.

If not for his concern about Suri finding evidence and causing more trouble to frame him, Su Ming wouldn't even have bothered to bury the body.
