Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

"Concentrate your firepower on that woman! She's the weak point!" Gao Tianyou ordered through gritted teeth.

Upon receiving the order, the four elite gunmen immediately adjusted their guns and began to precisely suppress Xu Suyuan.

"call out!"

At this point, Xu Suyuan's mental strength was no longer sufficient to make the bullet's path blur.

A bullet grazed the edge of her partially blurred arm, spraying blood.

"Ugh!" Xu Suyuan groaned, the sharp pain in her arm making her pause.

"careful!!"

While retaliating with his pistol, Han Xiao tried to use his abilities to deflect the bullets aimed at Xu Suyuan.

In the distance, four elite gunmen maintained a formation of alternating cover, pressing forward step by step.

Meanwhile, on the flank, a dozen thugs wielding clubs had blocked all escape routes.

"There she is! That woman is dying!"

One of the thugs, who had sharp eyes, shouted and charged forward, brandishing his stick.

"court death!"

Han Xiao turned his gun around and pulled the trigger in that direction, but all he heard was the "click" of the gun going out of control.

We're out of bullets.

The thug instinctively ducked, then, realizing no bullets were coming, burst into wild laughter: "That guy's out of bullets!"

It was just a fleeting moment.

Wen Yan, his face pale, silently "watched" this scene in this desperate situation.

He sensed it.

Han Xiao's soul was ignited at this moment by his obsession with "protection," transforming into a raging flame capable of burning everything.

It was an emotion far more intense than mere revenge.

Don't you want to lose it again...?

What a touching wish.

Deep within Wen Yan's soul, the "soul seed" connected to Han Xiao's soul sensed the host's unwavering will at this moment.

It trembled violently, and the patterns on its surface began to writhe, splitting off a new seed.

[Kinetic Energy Extraction]

[It forms a small force field centered on itself, actively absorbing and storing the kinetic energy impacting the field, forcibly storing it in a specific part of its body. After a period of time, this stored part must be sacrificed to release all the accumulated, violent kinetic energy in a single, directed burst.]

Do you want to accept it?

Even if the price is imperfection.

……

The center of the battlefield.

Han Xiao looked at the stick that was about to shatter Xu Suyuan's spine, and at the bullets flying towards him.

Some images flashed through his mind—

In the basement, Xu Suyuan bit her lip, practicing the scene of partial confinement over and over again;

That was at the edge of Eagle Falling Cliff, after their first successful collaboration, a fleeting glint in Xu Suyuan's eyes;

Those were the tears that Xu Suyuan shed when she talked about her grandmother after she killed Wu Guodong and the two opened up to each other...

This girl, covered in wounds yet determined to seek revenge, had somehow become like family to him, another reason to keep him going in this darkness.

How could that be...?

How could I allow you to take my loved ones away from me again right in front of me!

!

--Give me!

!

Give me all your strength!

!

Even if it means physical disability, I will not hesitate!

!

Om-!

An invisible wave emanated from Han Xiao and spread out instantly, enveloping him and Xu Suyuan.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The two alloy clubs, imbued with the full force of the thugs, seemed to have suddenly crashed into an extremely sticky slurry the moment they touched Xu Suyuan.

There was no impact sound, and no recoil.

All the kinetic energy contained in the baseball bat was forcibly stripped away in that instant by some domineering rule.

"Clatter".

The sticks landed softly on Xu Suyuan's back like two light straws, without even making her sway.

The two thugs wielding the clubs stared wide-eyed in horror. They felt as if the force they had exerted had vanished without a trace, and even their bodies felt a strange sense of weakness.

Next came the bullets.

The two high-speed spinning metal bullets dropped to zero the instant they entered the force field, like two pieces of scrap metal falling to the ground and coming to a standstill.

All the kinetic energy—the kinetic energy of the club's swing, the kinetic energy of the bullet's flight, the kinetic energy of the bullet's fall, and the kinetic energy of the two thugs themselves—converged into an invisible, violent torrent, rushing down Han Xiao's arm and surging wildly into his right little finger.

"Ugh!!"

Han Xiao's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

His right little finger swelled up with blood at a visible speed, turning a horrifying purplish-black color.

His skin was cracked, his blood vessels were bulging, and a terrifying energy was compressed in that tiny finger, as if it would blow his entire hand to pieces in the next second.

This is the price to pay.

But he felt it was worth it.

Han Xiao suddenly turned around, his burning eyes looking past the four gunmen blocking his way, locking onto the figure behind the Mercedes.

Gao Tianyou was clutching his wound, peering through the crack in the car window. When he met Han Xiao's eyes, an unprecedented chill of death instantly froze his heart.

That was the look in the eyes of a wild beast about to tear its prey apart.

"Gao Tianyou!!"

Han Xiao let out a roar that shook the night sky.

He raised his right hand, and with his little finger, which was already swollen to the point of being deformed, even though the finger bones were groaning, he still aimed it firmly in Gao Tianyou's direction.

freed.

boom--!

!

A visible ripple in the air, like a heavy cannon, burst forth from Han Xiao's right palm.

The little finger broke free from the palm's restraint, carrying all the kinetic energy it had just absorbed, along with Han Xiao's own full will, and slammed into the side door of the Mercedes-Benz across a distance of fifty meters!
