I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Twin instincts.

A strong instinct, which had remained completely unresponsive to the first four shots, finally kicked in when he was about to pull the trigger for the fifth.

'I won this bet... from the moment the game of rock-paper-scissors ended.'

Xue Jing smiled and, under the twitching gaze of the man surnamed Wei, put down the revolver in his hand.

"Hmm, as expected, we still need to let Mr. Wei feel a bit involved. I'll leave this fifth shot to you."

He smiled and handed the revolver in his hand to the man surnamed Wei.

"..."

The man surnamed Wei stared silently at the revolver that was handed to him.

This gun was specially modified by him; it is extremely powerful and can pierce an elephant from head to tail with a single shot.

Although he possesses a 'B3 protective membrane' and 'R2 golden skin', and even has 'giant blood' implanted in his bone marrow, he has now basically completed his transformation, and his bone hardness and hematopoietic ability far surpass those of ordinary people.

Taking a bullet from this revolver wouldn't be fatal to him... but if it were aimed at the head, it would at least be a serious injury.

Even if the bullet itself couldn't penetrate his body, the kinetic energy it generated would be enough to give his brain a good shock.

The serious injury itself wasn't the problem; the real issue was that he still had an important mission to complete...

The man surnamed Wei's expression was unpredictable.

Qiao Ying, who had been silent the whole time, also changed her expression.

She had worked with the man surnamed Wei for a long time and knew his style of doing things well, so she already knew what was going to happen next.

"Wei... are you sure you want to do this?"

Qiao Ying said loudly, her tone filled with deep reluctance.

The man surnamed Wei reached out and took the revolver from Xue Jing, but instead of aiming it at his own head, he aimed it at Xue Jing's forehead.

"what?"

The surrounding crowd was filled with astonishment and doubt; this...

Xue Jing, with a gun pointed at him, did not change his expression, but instead sighed softly.

"It seems Mr. Wei intends to break his promise."

The man surnamed Wei said in a calm voice:

"Ten million... I'll transfer it to your family."

"As for breaking your promise... do you still remember the bet I made at the beginning?"

Upon hearing this, someone in the crowd with a good memory immediately recalled and said:

"It seems to be... 'If you survive, I'll give you ten million Zhuxia coins; if you die... no other price is required.'"

Everyone immediately understood what the man surnamed Wei meant.

Xue Jing shook his head and said calmly, "Mr. Wei, this is sophistry."

"That is indeed sophistry."

The man surnamed Wei nodded in agreement.

"But... I'm sorry."

"Boom-"

The trigger is pulled, and the cylinder rotates.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, a violent gunshot rang out, shaking the entire casino.

The brass-colored bullet ricocheted from the barrel and shot towards the forehead of the ever-calm and composed young man.

The next moment.

"Oh!"

A figure flew backward at an extremely fast speed, smashing countless mahjong tables and chairs along the way, passing through several walls, leaving several human-shaped holes, and disappearing to an unknown location.

In the arena, only the young man in the burgundy suit remained, slowly retracting his right leg that had been kicked out.

White smoke curled around his black leather shoes, and Xue Jing frowned slightly.

Just as the revolver left the barrel, he activated Twin Speed, dodging the bullet while simultaneously delivering a powerful kick using the 'Shaking Stars' technique.

This move is a technique that breaks through defenses by channeling force into the enemy's body. After seeing that the opponent had a 'protective membrane' that was extremely effective at protecting against force, Xue Jing chose to use this move in order to bypass the membrane and attack.

Logically speaking, this move belongs to the application of soft force, and it shouldn't have such a powerful impact in kicking the opponent far away.

unless……

"The soft force is blocked from entering the opponent's body and can only erupt externally..."

"To be able to defend against 'Shaking Starfire' to this extent, the protective membrane's restraint on martial artists is simply too exaggerated."

Xue Jing shook his head.

"Boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and Xue Jing, activated by his twin instincts, tilted his head slightly. The bullet passed right by his ear, creating a strong gust of wind that ruffled the hair on his left side.

At this point, the surrounding crowd realized what had happened and began to flee the casino in panic, with screams echoing from time to time.

Russian roulette is something you can at least watch, but this kind of blatant battle of the gods is something mortals would surely suffer if they stayed any longer.

Xue Jing was searching for the location of the man surnamed Wei when his expression suddenly changed as he felt a slight fluctuation in the airflow on his skin.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed a slender wrist that was stabbing at him with a black dagger.

"Oh? Dear sister, you've really hurt my feelings."

Xue Jing looked at Qiao Ying in front of him with a hint of surprise.

The latter's eyes were extremely complicated, and tears even rolled down her cheeks, but her hands were not slow. She turned the black dagger in her backhand and forced Xue Jing to release her wrist. Then she stabbed at him with great speed.

While launching a ruthless and deadly attack, he choked back tears and sobbed, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Xue Jing's palms were covered with dense dragon scale marks as he took the stab, gripped the dagger, and restricted Qiao Ying's movements.

Then, with his other hand, he grabbed her neck and lifted her up, about a foot off the ground.

Spiral dents appeared on Xue Jing's arm, his arm muscles tensed, and his hand gripping her slender neck suddenly tightened.

"Yin——"

"Click——"

Accompanied by a dragon's roar and a chilling sound of bones cracking, Qiao Ying's neck was gripped so tightly by Xue Jing that it became as thick as a sugarcane.

"Ah—ah..."

Her beautiful face rolled back, her mouth opened wide, and her tongue was squeezed out in an exaggerated manner. A large amount of blood and bits of flesh spilled from her mouth and nostrils. Qiao Ying's head tilted to the side, her limbs straightened, and she stopped struggling.

He casually tossed the body aside and said in a flat tone:

"You might think that an apology is helpful..."

"But unfortunately, I am a true advocate of gender equality..."

Xue Jing straightened his slightly wrinkled burgundy suit and narrowed his eyes.

The crowd had mostly fled the casino, and now an eerie silence had fallen over the place.

Xue Jing began to walk around the arena at a leisurely pace.

The leather shoes creaked as they stepped on the floor, which was covered with sawdust, chips, and playing cards.

Xue Jing suddenly had some strange ideas.

"Why do I feel like I'm the boss... being outmaneuvered?"

The man surnamed Wei, who was hiding in the shadows, glanced at Xue Jing, who was walking leisurely, lifted his clothes, and touched the very obvious red shoe print on his chest.

"What a monster..."

The prosthetic eye in his eye kept displaying data analysis of the boy in the distance.

[Estimated physical energy level: 3.6~4.2]

[Physical alienation rate: less than 1%]

……

Overall Hazard Level Assessment: 4.1~4.5

The man surnamed Wei's gaze lingered on the [Physical Alienation Rate: Less than 1%], and he was horrified.

"...no xenografts were implanted, and no banned drugs were taken."

"He's actually a fucking... practitioner of old martial arts?"

Looking at the boy's obviously underage face in the distance, the man surnamed Wei's lips twitched.

……

"That damned stinky woman."

The man surnamed Wei glanced at Qiao Ying's corpse lying on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If she hadn't had impure thoughts during the mission and insisted on having sex with that boy, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

"Fortunately, she still knows that the mission is more important... The nail has been planted, now we'll see what effect it will have."

The man surnamed Wei shifted his gaze from Qiao Ying's corpse to the spotless young man not far away.

With remarkably steady movements, he unscrewed the cylinder of his revolver, took out a brass-colored bullet, and loaded it silently.

When he was loading the last bullet, he took out a bullet that was entirely crimson red and had a sharper tip.

After loading, he put the magazine back in place, turned it slightly, and adjusted the crimson bullet to the sixth round.

"It's a pity that ISE was left at the base before we set off for the sake of convenience... Otherwise, I could have had some close combat with him."
