Chapter 49: What Are You Pretending to Be?
Chapter 49: What Are You Pretending to Be?
The Spartan kick, utilizing the heel as the final point of force, possessed the most potent lethality among all kicking actions.
"Puh!"
Even Rao Lu Huiying was arched like a boiled shrimp under this ferocious kick that struck her weak spot. She clutched her abdomen, and blood and vomit gushed out of her mouth.
Xue Jing didn't hesitate and continued forward. He lifted his right leg straight up, higher than his head, and the force surged as he accumulated energy to the extreme. Like the blade of a guillotine, he suddenly chopped down!
Lu Huiying was bent over, holding her abdomen. The back of her head was directly hit by this heavy blow, and she was knocked down by Xue Jing's fierce kick like a chopped scallion.
"Bang!"
Her face was deeply embedded in the hard concrete floor, and dust flew up, with cracks spreading out from where she lay, forming a circle more than one meter in diameter.
Lu Huiying didn't move, and the black crown fell off, rolling to the side. It looked like an ordinary hair ornament, nothing special.
Everyone who was watching was stunned. They were intimidated by the boy's terrifying force and his ruthless treatment of the woman.
Xue Jing didn't care about what others thought. He straightened his glasses, which had shifted slightly due to his violent movements, and bent down to pick up the [GOD-1105: Evil Woman's Coronet].
[Detection of divine substance. Absorbing divinity...]
He took out his phone and took a picture of the black coronet, sending it to Wu Youqing.
"Acquisition successful," Xue Jing muttered to himself.
He glanced again at Lu Huiying, who was lying face down on the ground without moving, and walked over. He extended his right leg and turned her body over.
To prevent her from suffocating with her head buried in the ground.
As for the punishment she deserved for the evil deeds she had done after putting on the Evil Woman's Coronet... he would leave that to the residents she had persecuted during those days.
The people of Nancheng were simple and honest, and the local gangs were full of talented people. Without the Evil Woman's Coronet, Lu Huiying, now reverted to an ordinary person, would probably have a hard time in the future.
Xue Jing was about to leave when a deep and indifferent voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Oh? I almost came late, but it seems I made it just in time."
"Hey, kid."
"Hand over what you're holding. That's not something you're qualified to touch."
Xue Jing paused slightly and slowly turned around to look at the source of the voice.
It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a sturdy build.
His outfit was immaculately groomed, with hardly a wrinkle on his clothes. His tie was neatly knotted, and his hair was combed back with hair oil, not a strand out of place, giving him the appearance of someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
The man had a stern face, and his eyes held a detached look as he looked down at Xue Jing.
Xue Jing paused for a moment on the man's face, feeling something amiss.
His skin was extremely pale, unnaturally so, and there were several indentations on his cheeks, as if the skin had been sewn on with extremely precise means, giving an incongruous, abnormal feeling.
The same was true for his eyes. One was normal, a deep black, while the other was a dark red that emitted a faint glow.
"What if I say no?" Xue Jing asked flatly, without a hint of emotion.
He glanced at the panel.
In the divine skill column, below [Twin Spirit], golden light dots were emerging and gathering.
He had seen this phenomenon before.
It was the same as when he first came into contact with a divine relic and [Twin Spirit] was activated.
A new divine skill was being born.
Xue Jing closed the panel and stuffed the [Evil Woman's Coronet] into his collar, ensuring that it remained in constant contact with his body.
Seeing his actions, the man narrowed his eyes.
"Kid, you're asking for death."
The man took off his suit jacket and threw it aside, loosening his tie as he strode towards Xue Jing, clearly preparing for a fight.
Through the cybernetic eye, the data of the boy before him was swiftly analyzed.
[Estimated Physical Level: 1.7~1.9]
[Physical Mutation Rate: Less than 1%]
[Evidence of martial arts training. No obvious localized specialization. Unable to calculate combat mode.]
After a bunch of data detection, the final evaluation appeared.
【Estimated Comprehensive Danger Level: 2.1~2.5】
The man was somewhat surprised by this result.
"He barely looks sixteen... Living in a rural outer ring city, it's quite a talent to have an assessment of over 2 at this age."
However... he was still too weak.
The man's eyes showed contempt.
"Kid, I'm giving you a final chance. Hand it over."
He walked up to Xue Jing, hands on his chest.
"I can let you live, I'll just break one of your arms and one of your legs."
"Get on your knees and thank me for my gift."
The man's words were filled with an obnoxious sense of entitlement.
Xue Jing remained silent for a moment, then blinked and smiled, "You must not have tried to act tough before, huh?"
The man's eyes turned cold.
"Let me guess, you're the kind of person who would rather be a lowly, groveling dog, forcing your way into a circle that doesn't belong to you. Now you think you're something special, better than everyone else, and you can't help but try to imitate the upper-class people you usually deal with."
"But... you've never really acted tough, have you? It's too forced, I'm embarrassed for you."
A brilliant smile, like sunshine, played on Xue Jing's lips.
"I'm curious, you miserable mutt, who are you trying to act tough for?"
A Razor Gang member among the onlookers couldn't help but laugh.
"Pfft..."
Hearing the laughter, the man seemed to have been struck by something, his face alternating between pale and red, his cybernetic eye flashing angrily, as if he was ashamed and then turned to sheer rage.
"You're dead... You're dead... You're dead..."
"I'm going to kill you!"
As he was about to make his move, Xue Jing was quicker, delivering a swift kick to the man's groin.
"Smack!"
After the dull sound, the man looked at him with contempt, "You despicable martial artist, always using these despicable moves, how could we not be prepared?"
Xue Jing immediately realized something was wrong. The feeling of kicking him was completely unlike kicking a human body; it was like kicking a hard, rubber tire, both resilient and tough.
"It's over!"
The man suddenly grabbed him, moving extremely fast like a giant beast opening its jaws to bite down on Xue Jing.
This was supposed to be a surefire move. According to the cybernetic eye's evaluation, a mere flesh and blood kid with a level below 2 wouldn't be able to dodge at such close range.
However, the man missed.
The boy was extremely fast, moving at a speed far beyond his assessed level. He ducked and dodged the grab, then took a step back to create distance.
And without hesitation, he turned and ran!
"Damn it!"
The man was furious, stomping on the floor as he chased after Xue Jing.
...
Xue Jing weaved through the complex alleys, his eyes filled with thought.
'Who is this guy? Is he a collector from another company?'
'His body is strange... Did he take some kind of banned substance? Or does he have implants?'
'The outer ring city has inadequate medical facilities, and the use of implants is prohibited... Could he be from the inner ring city?'
There were constant banging sounds from behind.
Xue Jing glanced back.
Compared to his twisting and turning, skillfully maneuvering through the alleys with his kinetic energy, the man was simple and brutal, like a tank, smashing through countless walls in a straight line, rapidly closing the distance.
As the distance between them narrowed, Xue Jing couldn't maintain the Twin Spirit for too long, so he checked the progress of the divinity absorption on the panel.
The faint golden light dots were still gathering.
'First, I'll try to buy some time and see what the new divine skill is.'
Xue Jing made his decision.
He turned into another alley, his eyes scanning the area like lightning. He took a few steps forward and picked up a rusty, bent nail from the ground.
...
