Chapter 15 The Black Market Gun Demon, Yang Lie!
His life had been far too arduous; this martial spirit theory, to which he had devoted half his life's work, was his only spiritual pillar, and the very thing he used to prove his worth! How could Lin Mu dare...?
"teacher!"
Just as the atmosphere became a little tense, a clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Everyone turned to look and saw that Tang San had already been standing at the office door for some time.
He looked like he had rushed over in a hurry; even his breathing was a little rapid. Xiao Wu followed behind him, her beautiful rabbit ears standing up alertly.
Tang San quickly went to Yu Xiaogang's side and whispered, "Teacher, I think this matter needs to be considered more carefully..."
"No!" Tang San was interrupted by Yu Xiaogang before he could finish speaking!
At this moment, the master's eyes were bloodshot, a fear that came from a shaken faith and a madness that came from being driven to the brink of despair. In the end, he was still too concerned about his reputation!
"I accept!" He stared intently at Lin Mu, his voice almost forced out through clenched teeth.
"As you say! In three days, I will let everyone see with their own eyes that your crooked methods will ultimately be despised by the Soul Master world! Only cultivating a Martial Soul is the true path!"
"Okay." Lin Mu smiled slightly, as if he had already achieved some unknown goal. Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart!
"Then see you in the square in three days! Oh, by the way—"
As Lin Mu passed by Tang San, he seemed to suddenly remember something, then turned back to Yu Xiaogang and continued, "Since it's a bet, why don't we add some more stakes?"
"Then let my good-for-nothing disciple, Ling Chen, spar with your genius disciple on the arena, how about that? It'll be a good opportunity for everyone to see whether your theories are stronger or my teaching methods are more suitable for them!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's pupils constricted slightly, only to see Yu Xiaogang grit his teeth and reply, "Hmph, just what I wanted! Little San, do you dare accept the challenge?"
Tang San took a deep breath, recalling the aloof and solitary sword-wielding youth from earlier that day. He then turned to look into Lin Mu's unfathomable eyes, and finally could only slowly nod, saying, "This disciple is willing to fight!"
There was no other way; even though he had realized that he was falling into the other party's scheme, he had no choice but to agree!
Just in time, he also wanted to know how different the martial spirit cultivation system of this world was from the martial arts cultivation system of his previous life!
"Not bad, you do have some guts." Lin Mu nodded approvingly, then turned and left, his expression still languid, only a meaningful smile unconsciously curving his lips:
"Too much obsession can turn into a demonic possession! But it's fine this way, it'll show you what it means to have an overpowered existence. I just hope Tang San's Dao heart isn't too fragile, otherwise the kids will lose a powerful opponent, how boring that would be!"
As Lin Mu was smacking his lips in evaluation, a destructive will, different from "Thick Earth" and "Geng Metal," suddenly emanated from the scroll of the [Innate Dao Diagram] in his mind!
Meanwhile, in the nearby city of Nottingham, a faint yet violent and murderous aura emanated from the city.
[Ding! An unknown aura has been detected, faintly resonating with the 'Broken Army Star Position'! Location: Notting City Black Market area. Host is advised to remain highly vigilant.]
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just accepted Ling Chen as his disciple, and now the third star position... was about to light up? It seemed he needed to make a trip to the city.
The nights in Nottingham are never a monotonous spectacle. At this hour, most residents are already fast asleep, but for the area in the southeast corner of the city shrouded in the shadow of high walls, the real night is just beginning.
This is an underground black market in Nottingham City known locally as the "Grey Rat District." In the very center of this black market is an underground arena converted from an abandoned prison.
There was no name, only a rusty iron plaque hanging at the entrance, with a ferocious wolf head pattern on it that stood out starkly in the moonlight!
At this moment, the arena was filled with deafening roars, and the filthy circular dueling platform was packed with people, each with an almost distorted excitement on their face.
In the center of the dueling arena, a shirtless youth is fighting a bloody battle against two bloodthirsty tigers, each with a cultivation level of a hundred years!
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, somewhat thin, but with well-defined muscles, indicating he was developing very well!
His bronze skin was covered with a mix of old and new scars, especially the deep claw mark on his right shoulder that revealed the bone, which was still oozing blood.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all, and the dark, shiny iron spear in his hand seemed to be sentient, and he wielded it with great force!
Faced with the combined attack of the two bloodthirsty tigers, there was no fear in the boy's eyes, only a numb, burning ruthlessness.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and charged towards the two bloodthirsty tigers!
"Die!" A hoarse roar squeezed out of his throat. He gripped the gun tightly with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength from his waist and abdomen, the seemingly ordinary black iron spear emitted a dull whistling sound as it pierced straight into the abdomen of one of the bloodthirsty tigers without dodging or avoiding!
This is a risky, life-or-death tactic! All their strength is channeled into explosive, extreme damage! Just like Nezha's words: "I don't care if I live or die, I just want you to die!"
puff!
The boy's iron spear pierced precisely into the weakest point of the Bloodthirsty Tiger's defense, slightly to the left of its heart. Although the century-old Bloodthirsty Tiger had strong defenses, it was still pierced three inches deep by this blow!
"Roar!" The Bloodthirsty Tiger roared in pain, then quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and the tiger!
At the same time, another bloodthirsty tiger pounced on the boy the instant he drew his gun. Almost simultaneously, as the boy's spear pierced the tiger's chest, the tiger's claws struck his back!
The boy staggered, and his back was immediately covered in blood!
Just when everyone thought the boy would step back to catch his breath and look for another opportunity, he suddenly turned around and flicked his spear, aiming for the Bloodthirsty Tiger's chest once again!
Thanks to his superb marksmanship, even without the support of soul power, the boy still survived the attacks of two hundred-year-old soul beasts, and even seemed to be handling them with ease!
……
After an unknown amount of time, when the last bloodthirsty tiger fell to the ground, all that could be seen was a blood-soaked figure standing in the center of the dueling arena, his entire body covered in blood!
The duel was over, and the area around the dueling platform fell silent for a moment, before erupting into an even more frenzied roar and shout.
"Gun Demon! Gun Demon! Gun Demon!"
The boy nicknamed "Gun Demon" is named Yang Lie. He has participated in nearly a hundred duels like today, and he is already used to the shouts of the surrounding audience!
At this moment, he was leaning on the iron spear, panting heavily. Warm blood from his palms kept sliding down the shaft of the spear, spreading out on the ground like dark red flowers.
He raised his scarlet eyes, and when his gaze swept over the excited crowd in the stands, his eyes were filled with coldness and disgust!
The chilling aura emanating from him was actually the destructive will that had just triggered the disturbance in the "Broken Army Star Position" on the [Innate Dao Diagram]!
His ability to go from nearly losing his life to achieving ninety-nine consecutive victories is due to his ruthless, fearless spirit, as well as a set of deadly marksmanship techniques he learned through years of training and experience in military towns.
Like Shi Tie and Ling Chen, he possesses innate level 1 soul power, making it impossible for him to use any soul skills. His attacks are also completely unpredictable. The only thing that can keep him alive is this set of the fastest, most ruthless, and most effective killing techniques.
But that's not enough, far from enough!
