Li Mu gripped his handgun, firing several shots at the armored cash transport vehicle.
The bullets, with their incredible penetrating power, easily pierced through the vehicle’s body, leaving bullet holes all over.
“Still not coming out? Then prepare to be shot to death inside the vehicle.”
He was certain that the awakened individual inside the vehicle was still alive, planning to launch a surprise attack when Li Mu’s attention was drawn by the piles of gold inside.
Naturally, Li Mu would not make such a mistake.
After a moment of silence inside the vehicle, a piercing whistle suddenly sounded, and several fist-sized flying wheels tore through the vehicle’s body at an astonishing speed, tracing multiple trajectories in the air as they hurtled towards Li Mu.
Li Mu’s eyes had already activated the Divine Eye energy technique, initiating his neural acceleration.
With a powerful burst of energy, his entire body accelerated instantly like a cannonball, dashing forward at great speed.
His body seemed like a fish, weaving through the sharp flying wheels.
He dodged all the rapidly spinning wheels.
Reaching out, his fingers pierced through the armored vehicle’s body. Li Mu let out a low shout, exerted a sudden burst of strength, and tore open the already riddled vehicle.
“Die!”
His iron fist smashed through the air, targeting the awakened individual inside.
The air inside the vehicle seemed to be drained by the punch, and the awakened person hiding inside felt as if they were suffocating.
He was not an awakened enhancer, and considering the momentum of the punch, he was certain that even an enhancer would not want to take it.
However, the Avonigarda Agricultural Bank was no small institution. After a series of recent bank robberies, the awakened individuals they dispatched were by no means mediocre.
A golden ring-shaped blade was spinning rapidly around the awakened individual’s body.
The blade was evidently forged from some precious psychic metal, resembling a sharp-edged iron ring. Once infused with psychic energy, it emitted dazzling light.
He was waiting for Li Mu to attack.
The edge of the ring-blade flashed, slashing out a sharp crescent-shaped psychic energy blade.
Due to the close proximity, the energy blade almost instantly reached Li Mu.
Li Mu sensed something was wrong almost the moment the ring-blade lit up, his eyes shining so brightly they could emit light.
Before his fist could hit the awakened individual, he would be struck by the energy blade.
In almost an instant, Li Mu transformed his fists into palms, with semi-transparent scales faintly visible on his palms. He clapped his hands together, trapping the blade of energy between them.
The holy relic had numerous types and bizarre abilities. At such a close distance, if the opponent possessed the ability to control the energy blade remotely, Li Mu would not have had time to dodge.
As the energy blade stirred between his palms, Li Mu urged his energy technique and directly detonated the energy blade.
The exploding psychic energy scattered like a bomb being detonated inside a vehicle, completely tearing apart the reinforced van. Even the sturdy alloy-constructed gold lasus storage boxes were blown away.
Dubois was instantly drenched in blood from his own psychic energy explosion. He hadn’t expected his opponent to be so reckless, directly crushing the alien psychic energy in his hand.
As he tumbled embarrassingly on the ground, he grasped the circular blade, and several previously launched flying wheels changed their trajectories and flew into the spreading dust.
Each flying wheel had a mechanism inside. Dubois used his psychic energy to trigger the mechanism, and the blades on the flying wheels instantly shot out like powerful arrows.
A series of teeth-grinding, concentrated shots followed.
With dozens of blades propelled by Manipulation-type psychic energy, their close-range power surpassed that of anti-material rifles.
An ordinary awakened individual would have been unable to withstand such a barrage of blades.
Had it not been for the fact that the mechanism on the flying wheels could only be activated once, and Li Mu had maintained a high level of vigilance, Dubois would have chosen to trigger the mechanisms during the first launch of the flying wheels.
He spat out a mouthful of blood-stained phlegm, wiped the wound on his face that had been caused by the explosion, and struggled to his feet.
Though his physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, he was not an Enhancer-type awakened individual with a supernatural constitution. He had sustained considerable injuries in the recent explosion, with even two of his ribs broken by the shockwave.
Just as Dubois was thinking of uttering a few harsh words, a hand reached out from the dust, its fingers spread wide. One after another, sharp blades clattered to the ground.
Under the influence of his Divine Eye technique and neural acceleration, Li Mu could now vaguely see the trajectory of bullets in flight. These blades were slower than bullets due to their heavy weight, so naturally, they couldn’t escape his eyes.
Dubois’ heart clenched, realizing he had encountered a tough opponent. The circular blades on his body spun rapidly, emitting a mournful wail.
“Rotating Energy Seal – Nine.”
The next moment, smaller energy blades resembling a school of fish shot out from the circular blades, whistling as they flew straight at Li Mu.
Li Mu raised a finger, using it to manipulate the energy technique. A profound psychic energy light flickered on his fingertip, faintly revealing the shape of scales.
He pointed his finger at the incoming energy blade.
The energy blade capable of severing steel was annihilated by his fingertips. Using the invincible Steel Breaker Fist with his fingers made it even more powerful.
Amidst a series of dense energy explosion sounds, all the energy blades were either flicked away or directly destroyed by his fingers, without even touching a single thread of Li Mu’s clothes.
Dubois’s mouth hung open slightly. If he hadn’t sensed it wrong, the awakened individual in front of him was only at the fifth energy level.
He hysterically roared, “To be able to execute the Steel Breaker Fist with your fingers and not lose any power, when did the Kallari Sect produce such a monster like you?!”
Psychic energy is an extension of one’s will. When the energy blades made contact with Li Mu, he determined that his opponent was only using the commonplace White Steel Broken Stream energy.
Li Mu was originally unable to execute the Steel Breaker Fist to this extent. However, the energy techniques and the holy relic complemented each other. After implanting the Shock Calamity, his talent in energy techniques far exceeded that of ordinary people. After implanting the Ancient Scale, he progressed even further.
In addition to the assistance of the Tower of Spectral Energy and the Brain in the Vat, he was confident that his mastery of White Steel Broken Stream energy had surpassed that of Kallari himself.
Without hesitation, Dubois let out a strange cry, directly activating all his psychic energy. The ring blade on his arm shot out, transforming into a golden light that rapidly circled around Li Mu.
“Rotating Energy Seal – Three!”
He knew that with his speed, he couldn’t escape Li Mu’s grasp. To survive, he could only stall until reinforcements arrived.
Energy blades shot out from the ring blade, flying around Li Mu at a 360° angle.
Li Mu extinguished several energy blades, leaped into the air, and caught the ring blade in his hand before Dubois could unleash the full power of the Rotating Energy Seal Three.
The ring blade trembled violently for a moment, but when he channeled his explosive psychic energy into it, it quickly settled down.
Dubois spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to say something when he was sliced in half by the ring blade thrown by Li Mu.
“Clang!”
The sharp ring blade embedded itself in the ground.
Li Mu glanced at the corpse on the ground. Dubois’s strength was definitely not weak. Before he had implanted the Ancient Scale, he would have had to use the Blade of Annihilation and go all out to defeat him.
However, after implanting the Ancient Scale, the psychic energy blades he summoned posed little threat to himself, demonstrating the strength and practicality of defensive holy relics.
Pulling the ring blade out of the ground, he hoisted the scattered gold lasus preservation boxes onto the hovering hoverbike, straddled it, and drove to the ice cream truck.
“Give me an ice cream.”
He said to the sales clerk who was almost about to wet himself.
“Y-yes, sir.”
The clerk prepared the ice cream at the fastest speed, generously adding various expensive fruits and nuts without charging.
Shen Luoyan accepted the luxurious ice cream with satisfaction and mounted the hoverbike.
Li Mu flicked a silver coin onto the counter and, disregarding the cries for mercy, pulled out his gun and shot all the idle Xindu people. He then started the hoverbike.
The sheriff was already on his way.
