Plop...

Several headless bodies fell down.

Chen Shouyi sheathed his sword and tore off his ragged clothes, revealing his densely packed, knotted muscles.

He looked down at where the bullets had struck.

He found only a few bruises left on his chest.

"This is the effect of a close-range assault by a rifle; if it were a hundred meters away, it might not even leave a bruise," Chen Shouyi thought with slight surprise.

He inhaled the air mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder and blood, and clenched his fist tightly.

"I am becoming less and less human!"

He glanced back at the towering flames; this was no longer his battlefield, and his mission was complete.

Feeling his stamina gradually recovering, he turned around, ready to leave quickly.

"Finally found you?"

A gnashing voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

Upon hearing it, Chen Shouyi's pupils shrank, and his hair stood on end. He spun around abruptly.

In the moonlight, a tall, strong Barbarian emerged from the shadows.

He looked quite miserable, with patches of black and red all over, and no intact skin left on his body, leaving bright red footprints on the ground as he walked.

Yet even so, Chen Shouyi was on high alert, his mind taut.

This voice, he was all too familiar with.

Chen Shouyi had fought him before, more than once.

Of course, it was in the virtual memory world.

His best attempt, he lasted merely four moves before having his neck twisted broken.

Letting Chen Shouyi breathe a slight sigh of relief, this time he was unarmed, barehanded.

"I think I've already run far enough!" Chen Shouyi slowly drew his sword, speaking in a deep voice.

"Ignorant human, I'll let you die with understanding; as citizens of the God of Hunting, no prey escapes our grasp," said the tall Barbarian, pulling a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.

As he spoke, a phantom beast with four legs and wings, seven to eight meters tall, seemed to roar behind him.

A suppressive aura spread wide.

"Look, there's a plane!" Chen Shouyi suddenly lifted his head, spoke.

The Barbarian's aura paused, unconsciously also lifted his head to look.

If it were a human, in other circumstances.

He would not have been so easily caught off guard.

But at that moment, five to six kilometers away, the planes kept bombing in turns, especially considering he had just been bombed once. Only by instinctive capabilities had he narrowly escaped death, and he was understandably jumpy about planes.

Upon realizing he was tricked, he saw the human already sprinting frantically through the streets.

Instantly outraged, his face turned ferocious.

"Despicable human..."

"Boom!"

He stomped fiercely, the cement ground exploded like tofu, leaving a shallow pit, as his body turned into a blurred phantom, shooting electrically toward Chen Shouyi.

At that moment, the burst speed nearly reached subsonic levels.

Chen Shouyi felt the fierce whistling wind from behind, his heart sinking, his body moved like an agile monkey, grabbing the window ledge of the second floor nearby. With a light arm strength, his body was swiftly flung into the room, shattering the anti-theft iron grates along with the glass.

His toes touched the walls of the bedroom like tiptoeing on eaves, rapidly tapping, forcibly diverting the inertia of speed, heading straight for the door.

"Boom!" The door crashed apart, affected by it, the wall riddled with holes already, swayed, followed by a rumbling collapse.

Inside the bedroom, a pair of elderly spouses woke with fright, shakily propping themselves up, bodies petrified by the demolition-like scene before them, stiffened with fear.

However, their misfortune was not over yet.

Before they could gather their wits, the wall by the window behind exploded once more, another blurred figure swiftly passed through the bedroom.

...

The two figures, one chasing the other, darted through building after building.

Feeling the presence drawing nearer, a ferocity flickered in Chen Shouyi's eyes:

"His power compared to the virtual memory world has diminished significantly."

"Also, judging by his appearance, he's quite badly injured."

"Damn it, I'm all in!"

He gritted his teeth, steeled his mind, took a step, swiftly leaping downstairs, ran a few steps forward, then halted his body.

The next instant, the Barbarian also jumped down, stopping in front of Chen Shouyi.

"Cunning insect, finally ready to embrace your end?" The Barbarian panted heavily, eyes fixed tightly on Chen Shouyi; this human was extremely cunning, a moment's carelessness, and he was deceived.

His body had turned into one dripping with blood, the intense motion and collision had left him bleeding profusely, and the wounds couldn't heal.

"It's you who'll die!" Chen Shouyi sneered coldly.

He tapped lightly on the ground, his body shot forward like an arrow released from the bowstring, viciously charging.

The Barbarian's body slightly sidestepped, easily dodging Chen Shouyi's thunder-like strike, at the same time, a large hand like a blurred phantom reached for Chen Shouyi's arm.

But Chen Shouyi, who had a substantial understanding of his combat style from the virtual world, would never let him succeed.

Mid stab, Chen Shouyi immediately changed tactic, slicing toward his abdomen.

"Too weak..." The Barbarian retreated slightly, his expression shifted, an invisible sword blade swiftly sliced across his abdomen, he retreated several steps, clutching the spot, his face showing some bewilderment: "What power is this?"

"The power that can kill you," Chen Shouyi said coldly.

Internally, he felt somewhat disappointed, the Sword Qi was still too short, this slash at most cut open his entire abdomen, yet far from being fatal.

"Interesting, is this a new human Cultivation Technique? I almost don't want to kill you anymore." He loosened his hand from his abdomen, muscle slightly writhing, blood immediately ceased seeping.

Chen Shouyi's pupils shrunk upon seeing this, it was a capability similar to humans entering the realm of silent-refinement and reaching the body-refinement stage.

Of course, he didn't believe only entering the silent-refinement realm could achieve such effect.

Silent-refinement merely allowed more efficiently, systematically reaching this level. But one who relentlessly tempered their body over years, coupled with intentional training, like water chipping away stone, could also control their muscles.

However, from his tone...

Before Chen Shouyi could think further.

"Boom!" A cracking sound in the air.

A blurred figure rapidly approached, just when Chen Shouyi intended to dodge, he saw a huge phantom beast roaring at him.

A brief blank crossed his mind.

Returning to his senses, a sharp pain erupted in his chest, followed by a series of bone-cracking blasts, his body swiftly recoiled backward.

With a "thud," his body crashed into the building, continued to slide several meters, and slammed hard into the wall, finally halting.

Dust sifted down.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, felt as if his body had been trampled by eight elephants, with his chest caved in.

"Hehe... hehe, cough!" Chen Shouyi gazed at the Barbarian crawling through the breach, whose abdomen once more bled profusely, revealing a manic smile as he slowly stood up.

The abdomen was the power transfer point of the body, with the wound in his abdomen, the Barbarian was evidently having his power seriously affected.

"Is this all the strength you've got? For me, it's far from enough!" He walked step by step towards the Barbarian, while slowly inhaling, internal organs and muscles started writhing, the caved-in chest gradually swelled, meanwhile, his bones crackled lightly, snapping into place automatically.
