Killing Skill

These are space pirates! Mu Fan immediately noticed the broken axe symbol on the wrist of one of the men holding a gun!

Damn it! These three are rushing towards us, and they don't seem to have noticed me leaning against the trash can yet. Mu Fan gritted his teeth and said to the person in the earpiece, "Hurry up and plan a route."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and the chaotic aura from the shock began to gradually dissipate. Breathe... exhale... breathe... exhale...

Three seconds later, the closed eyes opened again, their eyes clear and bright, the pupils as black as night, the deepest part of the night hinting at a surging crimson color that was firmly suppressed.

Dark Breath!

Mu Fan deliberately entered a state of Dark Breath, his mind entering a state of Absolute Calm. At this moment, Mu Fan felt his thoughts entering a very strange state. He could sense that a space pirate had appeared 3 meters away from the trash can, and he could even simulate the blurry figure of the space pirate in his mind.

With his brain working at full speed, Mu Fan didn't need the enhanced killing power of the Blood-colored Vision state. What he needed was to escape this pirate-controlled area as quickly and safely as possible, to successfully eliminate the three people who were about to appear here, and to avoid alerting the other pirates.

If anything goes wrong in this matter, he may lose his life in a hail of bullets, just like his adoptive parents did seven years ago.

With a crack, Mu Fan clenched his fist tightly.

The surveillance cameras on this street have all been destroyed. Black has stopped reporting enemy distribution and, fearing it might affect Mu Fan's combat effectiveness, has entered silent mode and begun using old data to deduce safe routes.

Whoosh... Three steps. The first space pirate has entered within three steps, the second space pirate has entered the alley entrance, and the third space pirate has not yet appeared in our perception.

Mu Fan was now certain that his perception range in the Dark Breath state was 3 meters. In a flash, he made a decision, turned 90 degrees, and stood against the trash can. His breathing had completely stopped, and he had even become one with this lonely area.

The space pirates were completely oblivious to what was happening. The leader's voice came from behind them, "That piece of trash, Meng Li, actually let a woman lead him out of his High-Explosive Grenade! I really don't know why our captain let him into our team!"

"Stop talking. It seems to be related to the Second Leader. His father died protecting the Second Leader, so he's getting special treatment." The voice behind him followed.

So that's how it is. Mu Fan heard it clearly. At this moment, the third person's voice suddenly came, "It's fine if it's ahead of schedule. It's just that the destruction level of District 2 is definitely not as good as that of District 1. Sigh, give us another half hour, and the city will be all set up."

The third person, who had been absent until now, finally entered Mu Fan's perception range. It was now confirmed that the three had entered the alleyway. Mu Fan stood quietly in the shadow cast by the box and the wall, seemingly unnoticed.

The leader walked by cursing and swearing, without even glancing in their direction. How could anyone possibly hide behind such a narrow space of less than half a meter? Anyone who could run outside has already been shot dead.

The second person passed by and continued talking, "Let's hurry up, we can get to that high point from here, there's a spiral staircase ahead." Still not seeing Mu Fan hiding in the shadows, the mobile gun held at an angle in his hand was pointed directly at Mu Fan, the dark muzzle reflecting a cold light.

The third person didn't speak again. In Mu Fan's mind, he was about to step out of the trash can's cover and was currently scratching his hair with his right hand.

Suddenly, a gust of air blew in from above, scattering gravel that landed on the back of the man's neck. He instinctively shook his head and shuddered, just as he took his first step!

And so, he met Mu Fan's calm, dark eyes.

Huh!? The man reacted incredibly quickly; before he could even utter a sound, his hand was already pointing the gun at Mu Fan. Unfortunately for him, he was facing Mu Fan in his Dark Breath state. As the man's head instinctively twitched, a faint sense of danger flickered in Mu Fan's mind, prompting him to prepare to act.

Strike first, strike hard! The law of wilderness survival!

Mu Fan made his move, even faster than him. He didn't have that incredibly familiar alloy dagger in his hand, but Mu Fan had far more experience with bare hands. Through years of fighting, he knew exactly how to kill his prey instantly!

With his right hand slicing through the air, the deafening explosions and gunfire outside completely drowned out everything. Just as the last man turned around, he flashed past his collar and twisted his hand, his five fingers turning into steel claws that gripped the man's mouth tightly and forcefully pulled it open!

Snap! He twisted the head off the last person with a single hand.

Mu Fan's face and eyes showed no extra emotion, as if he had done something insignificant.

Two more people!

Although there was no sound when he made his move, the sound of the last person's neck being snapped as he died still alerted the two people in front.

Who!? The two turned their heads at the same time, but Mu Fan did not pause after killing the last person. Instead, he bent down forcefully, grabbed the head of the dead person with his right arm, pressed down hard, and swung the entire corpse up with the head, smashing it into the second person with a tearing sound.

The second man hadn't even properly aimed his gun when he was struck hard by the corpse, staggering backward. At that moment, the leader at the front made an incredibly ruthless move.

Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger of the mobile gun he was holding, intending to kill Mu Fan, at the cost of killing his own comrade first. Mu Fan saw his inhuman gaze clearly.

Mu Fan felt an overwhelming sense of crisis, a warning signal he'd received when he was hit by that tall man's hand cannon during their first encounter with the space pirates! His face contorted with madness, Dark Breath could no longer suppress the magma deep within his pupils— Blood-colored Vision! Forced activation!

Half of the Dark Breath state had disappeared, and he was still being eroded by the Blood-colored Vision state. In the face of life and death, his instincts were too strong. When the Dark Breath was forcibly compressed to less than a third of its original size, Mu Fan's vision turned blood red, and a martial skill suddenly appeared in his mind. It appeared in his mind so suddenly, domineering and suppressing his thoughts, that he used the martial skill without any hesitation.

Mu Fan's leg muscles bulged instantly, compressed to their limit! The ground sank, and two radial cracks exploded from beneath Mu Fan's feet. Then, the veins in Mu Fan's left arm bulged out, and under the loose linen long sleeve, his left arm suddenly grew larger, like a bowstring being pulled back, and continued to be pulled back, until it was fully drawn!

Under the dangerous state of Dark Breath, he naturally lowered his head, his right elbow pressing against the corpse of the last person and the second person as he charged forward. The bullet from the mobile gun passed through the second person's chest and grazed his right shoulder, leaving a burn mark.

He successfully dodged the fatal attack! Mu Fan's pupils shrank to a point! The last trace of calm brought by the Dark Breath reminded him that the time had come. In his Blood-colored Vision, Mu Fan focused all his Li Du on the hearts of the second and third people.

In my perception, both hearts were still beating, one barely breathing, the other thriving. In that instant, they aligned with my left arm in a straight line. A perfect three-point line!

Now! Mu Fan's eyes burned with bloodlust as he unleashed his full power at level eighteen! A force exceeding 4000 kg!

Whoosh! His left arm, like a bowstring, was pulled to its limit! His eyes blazed with madness, radiating an unstoppable aura. At this critical moment of life and death, Mu Fan unleashed a violent strike! His five fingers were joined together, his palm as sharp as a knife! Like lightning ripped through the night sky, piercing the heavens!

Whoosh!

Uh... The second space pirate died instantly. The leader looked down at his arm, which had disappeared into his chest, his eyes filled with endless terror and disbelief. Blood gurgled from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't utter a word. He died unwillingly!

Mu Fan's arm pierced right through the hearts of the two men!

Pulling out his bloodied left arm, the crimson color in Mu Fan's eyes gradually faded. Mu Fan casually flicked away the blood and bone fragments that stained his left arm and stood in the alley without any expression.
