Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

As the flames from the explosion gradually subsided, the four mercenaries also vanished completely.

Li Lian spoke into the walkie-talkie that was originally in Scorpion Three's hand: "It's New Year's, here's a big firework for you, do you like it?"

"Kid, what kind of man hides like that? Come out and face me if you dare!"

A man's roar came through the walkie-talkie, sounding as if he wanted to tear Li Lian apart alive.

"as you wish!"

Li Lian emerged from his hiding place, carrying the scabbard of the Star Blade in his left hand, having just appeared at the scene of the explosion.

boom!

Someone fired a shot at Li Lian's chest from a distance; a bullet traveled at supersonic speed and hurtled towards him.

clang!

With a swift slash, Li Lian drew his Star Blade and sliced ​​the incoming bullet in two.

The separated bullets grazed past Li Lian, leaving two bullet holes in his back!

boom!

Before he could sheathe his knife, another bullet came from behind Li Lian, heading straight for his blind spot.

Li Lian activated Instant Step the moment he split the bullet apart with a single slash, so the bullet left the barrel just as he did so.

Li Lian disappeared from the sight of the two snipers once again.

boom!boom!

Leng Xuan had already pinpointed the locations of the two snipers through the gunshots, and fired two shots within 10 seconds, directly eliminating the distant threat for Li Lian.

He hadn't expected that Li Lian would use himself as bait to draw the sniper's bullets.

What was even more unexpected was that Li Lian also had the amazing skill of splitting bullets with a knife!

Leng Xuan was terrified. What kind of insane speed and reaction ability was this!

Upon hearing Leng Xuan fire his gun, Li Lian knew that the two snipers in the distance had been taken care of.

So he slowly walked out again and said into the walkie-talkie, "Are there any survivors? If not, I'm leaving."

"Hmph, you're just a newborn calf that doesn't fear a tiger. I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you're nothing special."

A man in a black tactical vest appeared from the street corner, removing his guns and grenades as he walked.

"Do you know why I sent them to their deaths? Because of this forbidden item in my possession, [Blood Boiling]!"

As long as I can absorb the blood of any dead creature within range, I can gain their power from their previous lives and…

The man held a folding knife in one hand and a silver nameplate in the other, preparing to activate the forbidden item's effect.

But after glancing at the battlefield where there wasn't even a corpse left, he froze halfway through his sentence.

[Binding Technique Nine: Strike!]

A red light appeared on Li Lian's right index finger, binding the man in front of him tightly.

"I hate it when people pretend to be something they're not in front of me!"

Li Lian grabbed the man's chin, pried open his mouth, and shoved a grenade inside.

He snatched the folding knife and silver nameplate from the man's hand, and after examining them closely, he discovered...

It was discovered that the folding knife was nothing special except for its decent quality; the silver nameplate was the forbidden item called "Boiling Blood."

Someone's giving away equipment, might as well take it!

Li Lian pulled the pin on the grenade in the man's mouth and turned to leave.

The man stared wide-eyed, only to find that he couldn't even move a finger and could only make a series of whimpering sounds!

boom!

The grenade exploded, and the man's entire head and half of his body disappeared, leaving only his two intact legs on the ground.

"Leng Xuan, how did that kid Li Lian do?"

Chen Muye noticed that the commotion in the old city was quite significant, so he called Leng Xuan, who had been on site the whole time.

"Aside from showing off his skill in splitting bullets with a knife and using a glowing rope to bind an enemy once, I haven't seen him fight in person."

They dealt with all the enemies using firearms, just as Lin Qiye described; they loved creating explosive scenes.

They have a great interest in explosives such as hand grenades, explosive charges, and landmines.

"Splitting bullets with a knife is nothing. Lin Qiye said that when the missile exploded, Li Lian used a knife to block missile fragments on the roof of the bus!"

Leng Xuan: "(o Д o*)"

After dealing with the Mad Scorpion mercenary group, Li Lian returned to the sewers.

For some reason, Li Lian found the sewer surprisingly useful after using it once.

No wonder both the Ghost-Faced King and the Anqing Fish chose to move through the sewers.

Batman in Gotham City also loves the sewers, so Young Master Wayne even spent a tiny bit of money to repair a tiny bit more sewers.

Li Lian stabbed one person to death with a knife, killed five with a bomb, and blew up one with a grenade.

The biggest problem right now is that there's no one giving experience points!

Aside from losing some of his explosives reserves, he gained nothing.

According to Baili Pangpang's principle that equivalent exchange is a loss, he has already lost a fortune!

It seems that these people are too weak because they don't have any forbidden areas; in the system's eyes, they are no different from ordinary people.

At least for Li Lian right now, killing these people is no different from killing a few ordinary people.

During the five months of grinding experience, Li Lian's slashing technique had been improved many times over by the inheritance from Mizuki.

At least five months ago, even if Li Lian's speed were the same as it is now, he wouldn't dare say he could cut bullets with a knife.

With daily practice with the new recruits, Li Lian now relies more on his intuition than on sight and hearing when wielding his knife.

As long as you have a knife in your hand, that's how you'll definitely cut down; it's become an instinct.

Li Lian has never forgotten the first skill he acquired, Instant Step.

For the past five months, I have been researching how to further improve my Shunpo skill.

Referencing the technique of Yoruichi Shihouin, the former captain of the 2nd Division and the best Shunpo user in the Bleach manga.

There's a technique called "Empty Cicada" that involves using Instant Step while simultaneously leaving a piece of clothing behind to attract the enemy's attention.

Then use the Instant Step to escape, thus breaking free from the encirclement.

Li Lian has already made a knock-off version. Anyway, his Death Robe comes with a haori, so staying in place is too easy!

Survival skills acquired!

Then there's Bai Da: Yi Gu, which Li Lian also modified based on the comic's setting.

Despite his advanced age, Yamamoto's White Strike technique remains incredibly powerful. The key lies not in his physical abilities, but in the instantaneous burst of spiritual energy.

It's similar to Itadori's "Tsubasa Ken" from Jujutsu Kaisen; the smaller the time difference between the strike and the explosion of spiritual energy, the greater the power.

However, Li Lian couldn't control his spiritual energy that well, so he still used the method of secondary impact.

A single punch might not be a problem, but the explosive power of a surge of spiritual energy within the body can be quite formidable.

Ghostly arts skills are what Li Lian practiced the most, because Li Lian has the innate fire attribute, and the volatile and lively fire attribute spiritual power is not so easy to control.

Therefore, spiritual power control has always been Li Lian's weakness, so it's always good to practice more ghost-path skills.

At the very least, you need to master the few Ghost Path skills you have, instead of always being a melee brute!

A true assassin's primary skill should be fireball!

Only mages wield two-handed swords, specializing in leaping attacks and charging attacks; staves are at most used for casting illumination spells!

Gandalf: (˙灬˙)b

Li Lian is absolutely right!

"Li Lian, a master from Sichuan has headed towards Lin Qiye's aunt's house!"

An Qingyu's voice came through the earphones, interrupting Li Lian's thoughts.

The Death Armor instantly covered his entire body, and Ryujin Jakka appeared in his hand. Li Lian used Shunpo to disappear from the spot.

Now you should at least give me some experience points!
