The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Fortunately, his armor was thick enough and his physique was strong enough. Although each of her attacks accurately hit his vital points... if it weren't for the instinctive reaction brought about by his weakness-locking talent, those attacks should have hit his throat, temples, and heart... but the damage wasn't enough to penetrate his defenses.

But this can't continue. Being constantly pressured will eventually lead to a weakness. And an opponent of her caliber only needs one weakness.

Su Mu took a deep breath, his gaze passing over Bai Liuxi's shoulder and locking onto a zombie thirty meters behind her.

The zombie was crouching on the street corner, looking over blankly, unaware of what was happening.

"Thrust".

The moment the skill was activated, his body vanished from its original spot, propelled by the spear. The next second, he appeared before the zombie, the spear tip piercing its skull.

[Killed a Lv5 Dark Zone zombie, experience points +0.8.]

Bai Liuxi's pursuit failed. Her palm passed right through the spot where he had just been standing, striking only air.

Her body paused slightly, her light-colored eyes fixed on Su Mu, a hint of surprise flashing in her pupils.

Her attack rhythm was disrupted. This was the first time she had encountered someone who could escape her combo in this way... not by blocking, not by dodging, but by simply "teleporting" out of her attack range.

She had never seen that strange way of moving before.

Su Mu stood beside the zombie's corpse, turned around, and pointed his spear at Bai Liuxi.

His eyes changed. They were no longer filled with the hasty, passive response of before, but with a calm tinged with murderous intent, born of provocation.

He didn't speak. Bai Liuxi didn't speak either.

The two people stared at each other for a moment, thirty meters apart, and the air seemed to freeze.

Bai Liuxi moved. But not in a straight line, but in an arc... She took a step to the right, her body sinking slightly as she moved, her center of gravity low, like a tiger poised to pounce. Her right hand came together in a palm, fingertips pointing forward, a thin layer of almost invisible gas condensing at the edge of her palm, shimmering faintly in the moonlight.

That wasn't an ordinary palm strike. Su Mu's dynamic vision captured the outline of that layer of gas... thin and sharp, like a blade.

She rushed forward.

The speed was faster than before, and the trajectory was more unpredictable. Su Mu's dynamic vision was pushed to its limit at this moment... He could see her movement trajectory, but his body could only barely keep up. He gripped the spear tightly with both hands, the tip pointing forward, and instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet her head-on.

It's not about dodging; it's about facing it head-on.

He was gambling... gambling that his spear had a longer range than her hand strike.

Ten meters. Five meters. Three meters.

Bai Liuxi chopped down with her hand.

Su Mu thrust out his spear.

The spear tip grazed the edge of her hand chop, aiming for her chest. Bai Liuxi's body slightly shifted in mid-air, the spear tip slipping past her armpit and missing its mark.

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly... She dodged. His weakness-locking talent was forcibly altered at this distance by her strange body posture.

But his reaction was faster than her dodge. He retracted his spear, the butt sweeping horizontally towards her calf. Bai Liuxi pulled her leg back in mid-air, her toes touching the shaft of his spear, using the momentum to spring up, flipping half a circle in the air, and then slashing down with her hand from above.

Su Mu dodged to the side, and a hand chop grazed past his shoulder.

"Snap...!"

The concrete parapet two meters behind him was sliced ​​in two by that invisible blade of energy. The upper half of the wall slid down, crashed to the ground, and shattered into countless pieces. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, without a single burr.

Su Mu felt a chill run down his spine. If that palm strike had landed on him...

His gaze fell on Bai Liuxi's palm. The layer of gas was still there, slowly flowing along the edge of the hand blade, like a transparent blade. The power of this thing was much greater than he had expected.

Bai Liuxi landed, crouched slightly, and prepared to launch another attack.

Su Mu moved. Not in defense, not in evasion, but in an offensive.

The spears thrust out like a torrential rain.

It wasn't a series of individual attacks, but a continuous, relentless barrage. The first shot aimed for her throat, which she dodged by turning her head; the second shot swept towards her knee, which she avoided by raising her leg; the third shot was aimed at her abdomen, which she evaded by twisting her waist; the fourth, the fifth, the sixth... each shot was faster and more ruthless than the last.

Afterimages exploded behind him, a dense barrage of gunfire spreading across his field of vision like a peacock's tail. Each afterimage precisely targeted Bai Liuxi's vital points, forcing her to constantly retreat, dodge, and parry.

The surprise in Bai Liuxi's eyes grew stronger.

She wasn't without people who could stand up to her head... In this dark zone, she encountered three. One was her instructor, one was an Awakened who had already died, and the other was... someone she didn't want to mention.

But none of those three people could suppress her with such dense, precise, and continuous attacks as the person in front of her.

It wasn't that she couldn't fight back. But every time she tried to gather her strength for a counterattack, his next shot would precisely land on the spot where she was about to unleash her power, forcing her to change her move, forcing her to retreat, and forcing her to dissipate the strength she had just gathered.

It felt like being trapped in an invisible net. The more you struggled, the tighter the net tightened.

Bai Liuxi's body began to show signs of injury. The first wound was on her arm, the gun tip tearing her sleeve and leaving a shallow bloodstain. The second wound was on her shoulder; she hadn't managed to dodge it completely, and the gun tip pierced her flesh, drawing blood. The third wound was on her side; she twisted awkwardly, the gun tip grazing her combat uniform, leaving a gash in the fabric.

It wasn't deep. But she was bleeding.

Round five. Su Mu's combo reached its seventh move; his spear thrust out fiercely, the tip whistling through the air, aiming straight for her chest.

Bai Liuxi took a deep breath.

Her body twisted at an incredible angle... not to dodge, but as if boneless, her entire upper body bent backward, the spear tip grazing an inch above her chest. Her hands braced on the ground, her body taut like a bow, then she sprang up violently.

This isn't dodging; this is breaking free.

She found an almost non-existent gap in Su Mu's combo and, with all her might, squeezed herself out of that invisible net.

The two forces collided in mid-air.

"boom......!"

A strong wind swept through the area, making the signs on both sides of the street rattle and rustle. The gravel and dust on the ground were kicked up, forming a visible shockwave.
