Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

It's the enhanced version of "Decisive Weapon" Steel-Cutting Flash!

Evil Eye is a third-realm adventurer, and Zuo Chang is also a third-realm adventurer. Their stats are not much different, and they can be considered roughly equal.

The decisive weapon grants Zuo Chang a 15x boost to all attributes, instantly widening the gap and creating an overwhelming advantage!

Zuo Chang thrust out his sword, and it was truly like a thunderbolt falling from the heavens, with unstoppable force!

Evil Eye, unaware of his opponent's true strength and failing to perceive the terrifying power hidden beneath Zuo Chang's outward appearance, acted with far from caution.

Her carelessness was punished.

The dagger was severed by the terrifying force of the Moon Crown Sword the instant it touched the sword, and Evil Eye's hand split open instantly, losing all feeling in his arm.

The sword's edge flashed like lightning, continuing its rapid advance even after severing the dagger, easily cutting her body diagonally as if slicing tofu!

Blood was splashed everywhere, and the strong stench of blood filled the corridor.

The gecko was startled, not knowing what had happened.

He squinted and, using the reflection in Marvin's triangular eyes, saw that the upper half of the long-legged woman's body had fallen into the corridor, while her lower half was nowhere to be found!

After that, Zuo Chang, with half his body covered in blood, returned to the corridor with a cold expression, carrying his sword.

Did they win?

So fast!

Marvin's gaze passed over the gecko and landed on Zuo Chang. He seemed surprised and said, "Evil Eye's abilities are remarkable. He's a disciple I carefully trained, and he's almost unmatched in the Three Realms! Who are you? You killed Evil Eye in just one exchange?"

Zuo Chang chuckled, his voice, tinged with electronic noise, coming from beneath his full-face mask: "Your disciple is extremely weak, which shows that you are just an ordinary person."

"Haha! Whether I'm an ordinary person or not, I don't need to say it myself!"

Ma Wen coldly stared at Zuo Chang, took off his suit jacket, revealing a white shirt underneath, and turned his back to Zuo Chang and Bi Hu.

His shirt wasn't tailor-made; it was just a regular style he bought at a department store, which would only look loose on an average person.

But on his body, the shirt was stretched taut by his muscles, making him look intimidating.

"Ah ah!"

Marvin took a deep breath and roared.

His upper body swelled up, and with a crackling sound, his white shirt tore into several pieces, exposing his bronze back to the air.

Zuo Chang stared intently, his heart filled with horror, and he blurted out two words: "Ghost Back!"

Marvin turned around and smiled, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "You actually know the name of this move? Not bad, this is indeed Ghost Back!"

The gecko doesn't know what a ghost's back is.

Marvin's back was a jagged, muscular mess. His trapezius muscles formed his eyebrows, and his infraspinatus his eyes; it truly resembled a grotesque, demonic face!

He asked, "What is a ghost's back?"

Zuo Chang explained, "Ghost Back is not a skill, but a state of being. Only after honing one's body to its limit, with the strength of skin, flesh, and bone membranes surpassing that of steel, and every punch and kick possessing the power to split mountains, can an adventurer possibly touch the threshold of Ghost Back! Those who truly master Ghost Back have physical strength and the power of their punches and kicks that are no longer human; they can almost be considered another species!"

The gecko frowned even more deeply.

Whether he genuinely didn't believe it or was just trying to bolster his courage, he scoffed and said, "Another species? It can't be that far-fetched! As for physical strength, with my fifth-realm magical power, I'm no weaker than steel!"

Hearing his disdain, Zuo Chang said, "Commander Ying, you must be careful! You have the power of the fifth realm, and so does he; Ghost Back plus the power of the fifth realm... he can fight against a sixth-realm adventurer!"

"Sir, you don't need to waste your breath. Some truths can only be understood through personal experience."

Before the gecko could respond, Marvin spoke up.

He slowly turned to face the gecko: "Provided that... he's still alive."

Black flames erupted from his two fists, each the size of a sand bowl. One second he was still standing in the same spot, and the next second, with incredible agility, he teleported to the front of the gecko!

"?!"

The gecko's vision blurred, and it couldn't see Marvin's movement path clearly.

When he came to his senses and realized what was happening, his vision was already filled with a fist!

The gecko realized the power of the punch and dared not take it head-on.

He ducked and retreated, barely managing to avoid it.

The second punch came right away. The gecko looked serious, feeling that this punch was even more threatening than the last one, and could only continue to dodge.

The force of the punches was overwhelming, stirring up the wind and clouds. The third and fourth punches were getting more and more powerful!

Marvin went berserk, and as he threw his punch, the wind howled, momentarily blurring the air.

Even from several meters away, Zuo Chang could feel a tangible pressure, making it difficult for him to even breathe. He wondered what the senior gecko was thinking as he faced the force of the punches.

"middle!"

The sixth punch—

bingo!

After dodging several times, the gecko was exhausted and took a hard blow to the temple.

The power of that punch was enough to dismember a gecko!

The imagined scene of flesh and blood exploding did not occur. The gecko's body flew out and, after hitting the wall, turned into a tail about half the height of a person.

"A substitution technique? I didn't expect General Eagle to have the ability to sever his tail and survive. You should really be called General Gecko!"

Marvin closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and gathered all his magical power into his ears.

His hearing had become twice as sharp, and he heard faint popping sounds in the dead silence—

This is the gecko's escape route.

He used some secret method to walk on all fours while suspended from the ceiling, moving at an incredibly fast speed.

In just a short while, they've almost escaped the armory!

"You can't escape my grasp! But before that..."

Ma Wenyi turned his gaze to Zuo Chang.

He threw a punch horizontally, feinting at the air, but a fierce punch shot straight at Zuo Chang's chest!

The fifth realm beats the third realm, the father beats the son.

Zuo Chang was completely defenseless. Ma Wen punched him in mid-air, causing him to vomit blood and roll around in the long corridor.

With a loud thud, his back slammed against the wall, and he fell silent.

Marvin's expression was cold and stern.

He didn't need to confirm the result; under the Ghost's Back, adventurers from the Three Realms had no chance of survival!

He picked up his suit jacket from the ground, glanced at his disciple who had died tragically, and muttered to himself, "I've avenged you... I'll come back to collect your body after I finish what I'm doing."

After saying that, Marvin strode after the gecko!

Thank you He Xijunxi, the specialist in chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), for the generous donation! Thank you all for the monthly tickets! I am extremely grateful!

Hey... dear readers, a new month is just around the corner, and I'm shamelessly asking for your monthly votes here ().

Chapter 54 There's no shortage of firewood

Zuo Chang lay on the ground, looking rather disheveled.

When Ma Wen threw a punch, Zuo Chang had nowhere to dodge or avoid it. He could only cast "Nine Netherworld Removal" on himself to save his life and lay motionless on the ground.

Fortunately……

Or rather, inevitably, Marvin didn't step in to finish the job.

Zuo Chang was just a small fry; Ma Wen's only target was Gecko. Since Gecko had escaped, he was determined to give chase.

if--

If Marvin were very cautious and insisted on confirming whether Zuo Chang was dead, Zuo Chang wouldn't have been forced to surrender.

All armories within Sky City are equipped with self-destruct mechanisms, and the passwords are uniform.

Zuo Chang can enter a password, and the high explosives buried under the armory will send the entire armory into the sky. Zuo Chang, who has the "Nine Netherworlds Removal" ability, can survive. Whether Ma Wen can survive depends on how tough his life is!

This is a last resort when all other options are exhausted.

Ma Wen was too powerful and came too suddenly. Zuo Chang was unprepared and, even with his rich experience, could only do this much.

Three minutes passed, and there was no sound from the surroundings. Zuo Chang raised his head.

There was someone else beside him!

There are still two people!

They stood silently to one side, watching Zuo Chang with cold eyes!

This was a tremendous shock. Zuo Chang felt as if two of his three souls had been lost and six of his seven spirits had been removed, and the hair on his body stood on end! After a closer look, he realized that these two were not human.

Even more terrifying!

The one on the left is dressed all in white, and has four characters on his hat that read "Instant Wealth at First Sight";

The one on the right is dressed in all black, and his hat reads "Peace Under Heaven".

This is……

Black and White Impermanence!

Zuo Chang then remembered that the "Nine Netherworld Removal" effect had changed; now, if the damage received was greater than the health value, a Soul Reaper would appear beside him.

Once the blessing effect ends, they will come to claim your life!

Previously, Ma Wen's punch had made Zuo Chang tremble with fear.

Seeing the Soul Reaper is to be expected.

Zuo Chang, having exhausted his magical power, was unable to use the Spring Breeze and Rain technique to heal himself. He immediately took out a life potion from Warehouse 27 and drank it all in one gulp.

After downing a bottle of red medicine, he glanced around and saw that Black Impermanence had vanished, while White Impermanence was still staring at him menacingly.

There is only one type of life potion in "Become Zero". Drinking it will restore one vial of life.

Marvin's punch was indeed powerful, draining two tubes of blood from Zuo Chang.
