Swallowing the Stars: Only in my later years did I come to the life-spending panel.

"Gracey Bygrave, the Desert Mad Dog? He's involved this time too?"

Zhou Mu muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly sharpening. "Very well. After breaking through, I need a formidable enemy to make an example of and deter those who covet my Zhou family's treasures!"

"Zhou Mu! I didn't participate in your family's killings! I have no interest in those weaklings, what interests me is you! Gun Master!" A hoarse voice, like the scraping of rust, came from the heavy truck parked at the entrance of the manor.

A burly figure leaped from the driver's seat. He wore worn-out brown armor over a stained old canvas jacket, and carried a serrated longsword as wide as a door on his back. His stubble-faced, wind-carved features were framed by icy blue eyes that were fixed on Zhou Mu, who was suspended in mid-air, burning with undisguised greed and excitement!

"Fight me! Gun Master Zhou Mu! Let me see if you are worthy of this great title!" Gracie challenged Zhou Mu, raising the longsword called [Wolf Devourer]. The blade was dark red, and the jagged serrations looked like a row of beast teeth ready to devour its prey in the firelight.

Zhou Mu descended slowly from mid-air, as if stepping on invisible stairs. His right hand was loosely clenched, and a black spear flew into his hand from the deep pit, emitting a long, dragon-like roar. The silver patterns on the spear shaft emitted a faint light.

"Come!"

Zhou Mu landed, holding his gun in his right hand, and extended his left hand, gently beckoning to Gracie.

Gracie's ferocious fighting spirit erupted, and pure muscular power was released in an instant!

There were no fancy footwork techniques, only the most primal burst of power! Like a human cannonball, he charged straight at Zhou Mu with an unreasonable and domineering aura, swinging his serrated longsword with one arm and delivering a savage slash!

Before the blade even arrived, the pure, savage, heavy wind pressure had already caused Zhou Mu's gray hair to fly straight back!

Wild, violent, and utterly unpretentious!

Zhou Mu's pupils contracted slightly. Gracie's strength was even greater than he had imagined! He was almost comparable to Zhou Mu before his breakthrough!

Without a roar or any build-up of momentum, Zhou Mu merely took a half-step to the side with his left foot, slightly turning his body. The heavy spear in his hand, [Chasing Calamity], seemed to lose its weight in his grasp. The spear tip tilted downwards, and with a seemingly casual, even somewhat indifferent, gesture, he lightly parried and deflected the terrifying blade that was sweeping upwards from below.

Clang! Sizzle!

Contrary to expectations, there was no deafening roar like a comet hitting the earth. The wolf-like serrated blade bit down hard on the gun barrel, but it was as if it had struck a slippery eel. The violent force that was enough to split a main battle tank was quietly deflected and deflected!

The heavy blade grazed the gun barrel, sparks flying. The serrated edge made a teeth-grinding noise as it rubbed against the metal, but Zhou Mu's arm holding the gun remained as steady as a rock, not even his sleeves billowing violently.

Gracie's seemingly inevitable strike missed its mark. She turned and stared directly at Zhou Mu, her icy blue eyes filled with provocation: "Is this how weak and feeble your marksmanship is, Gun Master?! Go ahead and fight me head-on!"

Just then, the tip of Zhou Mu's seemingly casually lowered spear moved!

Without any earth-shattering burst of power, just a tiny flick of the wrist, combined with the natural, flowing rotation of the waist, made Zhu Jie seem to come alive. The spear tail swung like a poisonous dragon's tail, and the spear tip drew an arc like an antelope's horns, accurately striking Gracie's chest!

puff!!!!

This attack, as light as a feather, seemed to carry a force heavier than a mountain! It pierced through Gracie's combat suit, but was slightly dented by a thin layer of black armor.

Gracie groaned, her blood rushing to her head, instantly turning her rugged face red.

"Damn it! How can Zhou Mu be so powerful? Didn't Wang Jie say he was about to die? How can he still possess the power of an invincible war god?!"

After the first strike, Zhou Mu did not stop. His spear swept towards Gracie like a rain of pear blossoms.

In the rush, Gracie only had time to raise the Wolf's Bite to parry. The tip of the spear struck the broad blade, the heavy force knocking him back, but he had nowhere to escape.

"No! Zhou Mu's gun is getting heavier and heavier! He's building up his power. Once he's done, even with the Black God Set reducing the force by 90%, the sheer impact of that attack will shatter my internal organs! I have to find a way to escape!"

The Wolf-Eater Blade, after several parries, had already developed several cracks, and finally shattered under Zhou Mu's relentless, wave-like attacks. The Chasing Spear, carrying an unstoppable momentum, thrust towards Gracie's chest.

"A great opportunity!"

Taking advantage of the flying fragments of the wolf's bite, Gracie dodged to the left, causing the spear that was originally aimed at his chest to pierce his right arm instead. The huge impact shattered the bones in his right hand!

Having dodged the fatal blow, Gracie knew she was no match for him, so she immediately rolled to her feet and ran wildly out of the manor.

Zhou Mu slowly withdrew his gun from the offensive, looked at Gracie who had already run thousands of meters away, and sneered, "Trying to run now? Too late! What do you take my Zhou family for?! Coming and going as you please!" He transformed into a streak of light and chased after Gracie in the direction she had fled.

"Zhou Mu!"

"I surrender! I can pay you a price that will satisfy you!"

Gracie watched as Zhou Mu, who had arrived late but arrived early, burst into a terrifying speed of thousands of meters per second by relying solely on his physical body without using any telekinetic weapons. She quickly closed the distance between them and loudly begged for mercy.

Even if he was slow to react, he had already realized what was happening. Zhou Mu had probably already successfully broken through the planetary-level barrier. "Damn Wang Jie, you even got such important information wrong! Your Wang family deserves to die!!!"

"We're all from the Wang family. Wang Jie hired me to cover for them! I haven't spilled any blood from your clan!"

Seeing that Zhou Mu remained unmoved and continued to pursue him resolutely, Gracie felt somewhat desperate. After the chase, the two had gradually approached the urban area of ​​the Jiangnan base.

At this moment, Zhou Mu had already chased Gracie into a one-kilometer radius, manipulating the twelve Thousand Mountain Blood Fragments into twelve streams of light, which charged towards Gracie like dragons.

"Three kilometers left! Three kilometers to the residence of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's inspector in Jiangnan Base City. Given my brother's status at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, this inspector will definitely give him face! As long as I hold out until there, I can survive! At my speed, it only takes twenty seconds. I just need to hold on for twenty seconds!"

Gracie looked at the residential area not far away, her eyes revealing a desire to survive.

Zhou Mu looked coldly at Gracie below, who now had a chance to live. "With my newly awakened planetary-level mental power, I'm not confident I can kill Gracie with the Black God Set in one blow. To kill him within twenty seconds, I need to make a breakthrough!"

"Panel, simulate the Seven Tribulations of Breaking the Sky! Max it out!"
