Breakthrough?

Chapter 30: Breakthrough?

When Lu Li came out with his shotgun, someone attacked from around the corner, thrusting a knife at him.

It turned out to be a group of human traffickers who had come to ambush him. But at such close range, the gun was both accurate and fast.

Lu Li pulled the trigger, and with a BOOM, the attacker was turned into a bloody, mangled mess.

Two more human traffickers swung their axes to attack.

Lu Li opened fire on the spot, blasting one away, then pumped the forend with a "ka-ka" sound to reload, turning the second attacker's head into a pulpy mess.

Three were killed in the blink of an eye, and the human traffickers' ambush was shattered.

A small leader quickly shouted encouragement:

"His gun needs reloading after every shot! Everyone, charge him together!"

"Let's fight this bastard!"

A group of human traffickers rushed forward with sharp weapons, while others hurled knives from a distance.

Lu Li entered the Concentrating Spirit state. With a slight tilt of his head, he let the knives fly past his ear, then raised his shotgun and fired!

Amidst the roar, steel shot whistled through the air, tearing through flesh and turning the traffickers who had finally mustered the courage to charge into bloody rags.

Immediately after, the roar of another shotgun sounded – Xiao Cha had arrived.

The girl was clearly killing for the first time, trembling all over. However, fueled by hatred, her attack was merciless.

How could a group of human traffickers withstand two shotguns? They collapsed within a few breaths.

Some fled towards the main entrance, only to be shot in the back by Lu Li and fall.

Others tried to climb over the wall, but couldn't get past the barbed wire. They were killed by Xiao Cha and tragically hung from it.

Only a few lucky ones managed to escape into the house.

A few who had charged too far ahead, seeing no escape, simply dropped their weapons and knelt, begging for mercy:

"Mercy, great hero!"

"I have old parents and young children at home; they all depend on me..."

After the slaughter, the brilliance in Lu Li's eyes could no longer be concealed.

Looking at the human traffickers who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, he asked softly, "It's one thing to sell children, but why must you cripple them?"

To survive, the group no longer cared about anything else and said in unison:

"It was Manager Yi who did it, to go to the concession and extort money from the foreigners."

"That guy surnamed Yi is a pervert; he likes to torture children!"

"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us!"

The human traffickers bickered noisily, and in Lu Li's eyes, they overlapped with the members of the Decapitation Gang on Blue Star.

"Bullies who prey on the weak, but when they encounter someone stronger, they don't even dare to admit what they've done. They're just things wearing human skin, pretending to be human."

Lu Li pulled the trigger, and amidst the roar, he slaughtered the group of human traffickers.

A few bloodstains splattered on his fair face. As he turned around, he met Xiao Cha's complicated gaze.

The man before her acted with decisive ruthlessness, clearly not for the first time, a stark contrast to his fair and refined appearance.

Lu Li reloaded his gun, seemingly talking to himself:

"When I was very young, I heard my Great-Grandfather say that he was only 13 when he first went into battle, and he was incredibly nervous. But the moment he swung his saber at the devils, his thoughts became clear."

"Hoo~" Lu Li exhaled deeply and said, "Now I understand too. It turns out my belief is quite simple..."

At this moment, the young man's eyes were incredibly bright, like a collapsing cosmic galaxy.

His scattered thoughts and chaotic brainwaves were unifying into "Alpha Waves."

This type of brainwave only appears when a person's body and mind are in their optimal state.

Athletes produce a large amount of "Alpha Waves" before achieving peak performance.

The unification of brainwaves into "Alpha Waves" signifies that a person is ready, has found their path, and possesses... belief!

Xiao Cha looked at Lu Li, her face full of disbelief—this man was about to enter Samadhi!

And even more unbelievable was Yi Qingchuan!

Yi Qingchuan had arrived half a minute ago but hadn't rushed to attack, wanting to gauge the opponent's strength.

But this delay meant he witnessed what "breaking through on the battlefield" looked like!

Yi Qingchuan was extremely shocked: "Not good! This brat is [Entering Samadhi]! I absolutely cannot let him break through!"

Spirit Refining is closely related to the human brain. Breaking through a realm isn't just a "ding" sound; it's a process.

Yi Qingchuan intended to nip it in the bud!

With a ruthless expression, he instantly transformed into a black shadow and charged forward!

This person's instantaneous burst speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour, covering 20 meters in one second!

Not to mention he uses a unique movement technique, making his form smaller and thinner, making him extremely inconspicuous.

Before Xiao Cha could react, Yi Qingchuan had closed within 10 meters of Lu Li, about to kill him!

At that very moment, Lu Li leisurely turned his body and met Yi Qingchuan's gaze.

The time dilation brought by "Bullet Time" had been strengthened from 0.7x speed to 0.6x speed!

In Lu Li's eyes, the enemy's speed was not insurmountable.

Then, with a loud "boom," he locked onto his target, pulled the trigger, and fired a shot.

Yi Qingchuan's back hairs stood on end, and he suddenly changed direction, dodging the shot!

Only then did Xiao Cha realize an enemy had attacked.

But she couldn't see the enemy's movements at all; she wildly fired two shots, missing by a mile.

Only Lu Li could keep up with the opponent, continuously racking the pump and firing to suppress him.

Yi Qingchuan moved like a nimble leopard, changing trajectories back and forth, using the water vat and trees in the courtyard to evade all the bombardments while looking for an opportunity to close in.

He wasn't in a hurry if he couldn't get close.

The other party was using an Anglo-Saxon Federation hunting rifle; it had at most 8 rounds, and once they were gone, he could die!

But the next scene made Yi Qingchuan dumbfounded!

Lu Li could instantly pull out and load a bullet into the chamber every few shots!

His movements were smooth and unhurried, not even needing to look down, maintaining his suppressive fire.

The Alpha brainwaves were gradually changing Lu Li's brain.

He felt as if his body and mind were connected, every muscle, every part, as flexible as his index finger and thumb.

Yi Qingchuan's heart tightened! This was something countless martial artists dreamed of – Body Follows Will!

Being able to freely control every part of his body was a boon from Spirit Refining [Entering Samadhi]!

"This kid is just one step away from breaking through!"

Yi Qingchuan was filled with regret; he should have rushed forward and fought desperately from the beginning!

However, it's never too late to mend.

This person was, after all, just a cripple!

And coincidentally, the human traffickers who had fled into the house earlier actually charged out, carrying a sturdy jujube wood table!

These people, besides wanting to earn merit and show loyalty, were also terrified by Lu Li's killing intent.

Knowing that today would not end well, they were eager to kill this harbinger of death.

And Lu Li, seemingly making a mistake in his haste, actually sprayed precious bullets at the jujube wood table.

Although he blasted three large holes in the table and killed the human traffickers, it also gave Yi Qingchuan an opportunity!

He took a deep breath, his thigh suddenly swelled, and with a burst of strength, he transformed into a low, dark shadow, charging at Lu Li's face in a zigzag pattern in the blink of an eye!

This was Yi Qingchuan's ultimate skill – Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms.

A triumphant smile already appeared on his face as he was about to crush Lu Li.

But unbeknownst to him, Lu Li also craved such an opportunity!

The shotgun shells took up quite a bit of space, and he was running out of the few he had in his pocket.

Moreover, at long range, the gun was only fast, but up close, it would be both fast and accurate!
