"Fuck your old man!"
Lai San shouted furiously, his face flushed with anger. In extreme frustration, he temporarily broke free from Lu Wenwu's attack range, leaping high with the support of his tentacles.
"Bang!"
With the sudden gunshot, the battlefield seemed to be paused.
Hanging from the ceiling, Lai San's expression turned from fierce to bewildered, then from bewildered to terrified.
His strong body was instantly drained of all strength, and he fell directly.
The few remaining tentacles on his back twitched unconsciously, like a fish that had been gutted but still wriggling.
Lai San looked at the short shotgun in Yuan Shi's hand, his face full of helplessness.
"I have... four hearts... How could I... die..."
A strange, low voice struggled out from his intestines, accompanied by large clots of blood flowing continuously from the gaping wound in his abdomen.
Even at death, Lai San couldn't understand how he could be taken out with one shot.
Wasn't that guy's shooting skill ridiculously poor?
And could that trashy thing that looked like a matchlock gun with lots of noise and little impact break my defense?
To Lai San, this was absurd before dying.
He died very unwillingly.
But to Lu Wenwu and Yuan Shi, this was not strange at all.
Everything was because of that peculiar short shotgun.
[Name: Famous Spear: National Collapse]
[Quality: Refined]
[Type: Weapon]
[Attack Power: Unrivaled]
[One Shot, The World Knows Me: Regardless of distance, the first attack is guaranteed to miss the target. After attack, all enemy targets lose their lock on you and fall into a five-second daze, simultaneously alerting all allies of your position]
[Two Gun Traitors Have Been Executed: Within ten meters, the second attack is guaranteed to hit the target and cause instant death (this skill only affects targets below Level 17), the target will die within one second due to heart rupture]
[Introduction: A crudely handmade double-barreled shotgun using wood, black tape, 18650 battery pack, toggle switch, wires, pipe stopper, DN20 seamless steel pipe, PVC partition. Requires black powder and steel balls to load before firing. Famously used successfully by a Legendary Assassin to assassinate a prime minister, imbued with incredible miracle power]
[Note: Currently reloadable times: 1/2]
Famous Spear: National Collapse!
This is such an extreme weapon.
All by himself, a Legendary Assassin endowed it with great power, having assassinated a nation's prime minister like divine intervention; it also brought significant restrictions.
This gun can kill at most two targets.
If it could kill indefinitely, its quality wouldn't just be 'Refined'.
[You killed Lai San (Level 16)]
[You completed the side quest - The Broken Dream]
[Task Description: A life that erroneously evolved attempting to ascend the eternal throne, and you, my friend, stopped it from happening; it was undoubtedly a feat]
[Your personal overall rating has greatly improved]
Lu Wenwu and Yuan Shi simultaneously received the side quest completion information.
Both reacted differently.
Yuan Shi widened his eyes, exclaiming: "How is this possible! The main quest isn't completed? We were deceived by the system!"
"No, the system was right, the quest wasn't completed because Lai San wasn't the King of the Contaminated. The players who died before and the survivors were all deceived."
In contrast, Lu Wenwu was extremely calm.
He had already blocked Qian Li's inevitable escape route.
"Where do you think you're going, my dear King of the Evolvers — Qian Limin?"
"That's impossible! How do you know?"
Qian Li.
No, it's Qian Limin.
His expression transformed into sheer horror, even his well-worn gold-rimmed glasses fell off.
How did Lu Wenwu know?
Under the Eye of Insight, everything is revealed.
[King of the Contaminated Qian Limin/ Evolution Gang Deputy Leader Qian Li (C-): 2578/2600]
[Current State]: Fierce outside but weak inside, on the verge of breakthrough, blood and flesh shell, conflicted
"Why bother asking how I know?"
Lu Wenwu had no intention to answer, his qi blood boiling as his iron fist fiercely landed a punch.
"At this rate, you can't escape — Purity is still too low! Try harder!"
"Boom!"
The punch landed like a heavy hammer on Qian Limin's skull, instantly crushing half of it.
The bizarre thing was, Qian Limin did not die; instead, he revealed a slightly fierce but weak smile.
"Mutant, you think you've won? Just walk away, and I may not pursue your past mistakes! I..."
The words hadn't finished when Lu Wenwu's rain-like punches arrived.
Along with the punches came his benevolent smile and countless reasoned words.
"Not pursue? Oh? Not pursue won't work! I'll be damned if you don't pursue! I'll be damned if you don't pursue!"
With every utterance, Lu Wenwu threw a punch.
Lai San was not the King of the Contaminated; he knew this when he entered the room.
Not reminding Yuan Shi to follow the original plan to take down Lai San was because Lu Wenwu was worried he had an ace up his sleeve. Better to take one down first to be safe.
He liked the thrill.
But he didn't like courting death.
Two versus one... one point five, what if things went wrong?
Though he was confident he could defeat a C-level Boss, it certainly wouldn't reach a state of overwhelming victory.
Besides, Qian Limin was also on the verge of a breakthrough, and killing him would reward him with one hundred attribute points. Blissful indeed.
"Breakthrough, come on!"
"For heaven's sake, hurry up!"
"If you don't break through, you'll die."
"So enduring? Are you sure you can do it?"
Punch after punch landed on Qian Limin.
His broken body seemed to be smashed by a powerful strike, completely collapsing half of the third floor.
Qian Limin fell powerlessly in the central courtyard of the contaminated base camp, his organs and limbs not belonging to a human had been torn off by Lu Wenwu.
The sea wanderer Tiger Whale gazed at the scene in awe, exclaiming that Lu Wenwu seemed a bit too extreme.
Lu Wenwu leaped forward, looking at the bloody mess in front of him somewhat uncertain.
Qian Limin's health bar was nearly depleted.
Just a couple more punches and the opponent's skull would explode like a watermelon.
Yet despite this, the opponent showed no signs of breaking through.
Lu Wenwu began to reflect on his previous teaching.
Was the life-threatening pressure not intense enough, hence the opponent didn't break through?
Or maybe the opponent's hatred towards him wasn't deep enough, and emotions weren't furious enough, hence no breakthrough?
Something's off, distinctly twelve points worth of 'off'!
In those web novels from past lives, didn't the protagonist always break through like this?
Wasn't Teacher Kai teaching Luffy like this?
Damn it, where did it go wrong!
