Bullet Cutting

"Lao Ye, do you really take me for a fool?" Lin Shen looked coldly at Lao Ye and said.

"Fifth Brother, I truly treat you like my own child..." Lao Ye's words were cut off by Lin Shen before he could finish.

"You? You're not worthy." Lin Shen's face was full of disgust.

"You are still young, you haven't reached my age, so you don't understand," Lao Ye sighed.

"Lao Ye, if you had just openly admitted your betrayal, I would have thought more highly of you. Trying to be a saint while acting like a whore, don't you dare disgust me." Lin Shen continued with a cold face, "Let's skip the nonsense. What exactly do you want from me?"

"I only want the Mystic Bird. Besides that, I want nothing else," Lao Ye said.

"I've said it many times, I don't have the Mystic Bird." Lin Shen already knew that Lao Ye's numerous previous attempts to probe him were all to find out if he had the Mystic Bird.

"Fifth Brother, you don't need to lie to me. The Lin Family definitely still has a Mystic Bird, and that Mystic Bird must be with you." Lao Ye held the short blade and slowly pressed towards Lin Shen, saying as he walked, "If it were truly a Dead Egg, why wouldn't the Lin Family show it to others? Just by showing the Dead Egg, they could dispel the suspicions of the Qi and Wang families. But the Lin Family never even considered taking it out, not even at the critical juncture of the family's life and death. Therefore, it must not be a Dead Egg, but the fourth Mystic Bird. The Mystic Bird lineage has been passed down to your generation. I know the temperaments of those three masters very well. If there truly was a Mystic Bird, they would definitely leave it to you. You've always been so fearless, isn't it because you have the Mystic Bird as your trump card?"

"So that's what you think?" Lin Shen suddenly understood why Lao Ye was so certain he had the Mystic Bird.

It turned out that Lin Shen's confidence had given Lao Ye the wrong impression. Unfortunately, Lin Shen's confidence didn't come from the Mystic Bird, but from the unexpectedly discovered Tinder and Pet Dead Powder.

"Fifth Brother, you've never suffered, and you don't know the hardships of the world. Some things are not as simple as you imagine, and I am not as simple as you think. The Mystic Bird is very strong, but it depends on whose hands it's in. Do you believe that even if you have the Mystic Bird, if you were to truly fight me, you wouldn't even have a chance to strike?" Lao Ye said sincerely, "Speaking of which, I watched you grow up. Leave the Mystic Bird, and I guarantee I won't harm a single hair on your head. If I can gain some benefits from that Gourd Mountain, I can share a portion with you in the future. Don't force me to act, that is absolutely not what I want."

"Lao Ye, stop talking nonsense. It only makes me feel disgusted. I don't have the Mystic Bird. If you don't believe me, kill me and search my body yourself." Lin Shen sat on the back of the Platinum Beast, looking coldly at Lao Ye and said.

"Fifth Brother, do you have to force me? If I have to act, then I cannot let you live. You and I both know the tempers of Third Master and Fourth Master very well. If I lay a hand on you, there will be no turning back, so I can only silence you." Lao Ye's voice also turned cold, and he tightened his grip on the short blade in his hand.

It was a weapon made of alloy, in the style of a short sword, not a dagger. The blade looked like brass, but the edge was a chilling white.

"Why are you afraid of my Third Brother and Fourth Brother?" Lin Shen suddenly asked.

Lao Ye was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Shen to suddenly ask such a question. After a moment's thought, he said, "Because Third Master and Fourth Master are both very strong, strong enough to make anyone who has seen their strength feel involuntary fear. How should I put it? Saying they are strong isn't entirely accurate, because they don't have absolutely overwhelming strength. But if someone of the same level as them, or even slightly higher, were to fight them to the death, I believe the one who survives would definitely be them. If Second Master were still here, it would be even more terrifying. The Lin Family is truly lucky to have given birth to these children. If they can survive, even if only one survives, the Lin Family will definitely become a major power in the future."

"Lao Ye, have you forgotten that my surname is also Lin? I am also their brother," Lin Shen said calmly.

Lao Ye laughed, "That's right, your surname is also Lin. I believe you might become as formidable as Third Master and Fourth Master in the future, but you are not capable of that now. If you were an Alloy Gene Mutator now, I would never dare to be your enemy. Unfortunately, you haven't even completed your gene mutation. Even having the Mystic Bird is useless. I can kill you before the Mystic Bird even touches me. You won't have a single chance."

"To kill you, I don't need gene mutation," Lin Shen said indifferently.

Lao Ye's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to summon the Mystic Bird."

Lin Shen reached out and took out a Pet Capsule, which transformed into the Superspeed Gunslinger and placed it beside him.

"It seems you still haven't given up," Lao Ye said, narrowing his eyes when he saw that what Lin Shen summoned was not the Mystic Bird, but the Superspeed Gunslinger he had won from Wang Tianer.

Lin Shen ignored him and directly ordered the Superspeed Gunslinger to attack.

The Superspeed Gunslinger quickly drew its gun and pulled the trigger at Lao Ye.

Sparks shot from the muzzle, and bullets flew out at a speed difficult for the naked eye to catch.

"Clang!" Lao Ye's body didn't move. His short blade flashed, and the bullet flying towards his face was actually split in two, flying past Lao Ye's sides and falling to the ground.

Lao Ye held the short blade and walked towards Lin Shen expressionlessly.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The Superspeed Gunslinger kept shooting, but it couldn't stop Lao Ye's steps at all. The bullets flying towards him were actually cut down by his short blade.

Lin Shen frowned slightly. The Lao Ye in his impression wasn't this strong. The Superspeed Gunslinger's speed was top-tier among Alloy Creatures. Lao Ye's speed was actually faster than his, and he could accurately cut bullets. This was also not something Lao Ye's usual displayed abilities could achieve.

His speed was no slower than the finger Lin Shen used to apply the Seven Steps of Conflict to the Superspeed Gunslinger back then.

"Summon the Mystic Bird. This is your last chance." Lao Ye had already walked in front of the Platinum Beast and swung his blade, cutting a deep gash into its neck.

With the speed of the Platinum Beast, it didn't even have a chance to dodge, and its body immediately fell to the side.

Lin Shen had no choice but to jump off the Platinum Beast's back and stand in front of Lao Ye.

Lao Ye continued to walk towards Lin Shen, the short blade in his hand like a viper's tongue, as if it could strike at any moment, giving Lin Shen a kiss of death.

Bang!

Lin Shen didn't wait for Lao Ye to make a move. Instead, he had the Superspeed Gunslinger shoot again.

But at the same time the Superspeed Gunslinger fired, Lin Shen also moved.

The Seven Steps of Conflict could give Lin Shen speed faster than a bullet, but it didn't stipulate that he had to use this speed to attack the person shooting.

Lin Shen struck like lightning, pointing a finger below Lao Ye's throat, where there was an acupoint he could see.

"As expected." Lao Ye seemed to have anticipated Lin Shen's move. As Lin Shen struck, his short blade also struck simultaneously, cutting towards Lin Shen's arm.

Lao Ye's speed was actually faster than Lin Shen's striking speed. No wonder he was so confident. Such speed no longer belonged to the Alloy Grade.

Clang!

The short blade in Lao Ye's hand had already cut into Lin Shen's arm, while Lin Shen's finger was still some distance away from Lao Ye.
