The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 61: Chapter 60: Slaying and Cutting

Edmund had the ability to control bullets,

though at his current rank of “human,” he couldn’t yet make bullets turn corners or compress their power and other advanced techniques. However, he could somewhat adjust the initial speed of the bullets as they left the gun barrel.

Ensuring they would penetrate the brain but not pass through… just letting the bullet stay within the brain tissue.

Moreover, these special silver bullets would compress the air upon impact, causing a small explosion, and make the silver liquid instantly fill the cranial cavity, achieving “Brain Purification.”

However,

the old man sitting in front of the campfire had no reaction whatsoever.

Streams of silver liquid were even being expelled from his nostrils, causing no damage to the brain at all.

The old man continued barbecuing and even took the time to feed his pet dog, Mili.

Hidden in the shadows, Edmund’s expression turned ugly, “Immune to silver? Is this one of the Moon Transformation’s traits!”

However,

the old man’s attention remained on Yi Chen as he continued speaking:

“Was I too deliberate?

I didn’t expect you self-righteous folks to be so cautious, coming back to clean up Viner City just a week apart.

Since that’s the case,

I might as well kill all four of you weaklings, to serve as provisions for my long journey out of the city.”

Good boy, Mili! Come help me kill this bunch of vermin.”

As soon as he stopped speaking,

Yi Chen instantly unleashed a horizontal slash.

Ding!

Just as the sharp axe blade was about to strike, it was surprisingly caught single-handedly by the old man, who also ignored the silver plating on the surface of the blade.

Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, “This guy is even more formidable than the ‘Non-Normality’ I killed on the rooftop… Is it the physical enhancement provided by the Moon Transformation Disease?”

The old man caught the axe with one hand and continued gently patting his pet dog with the other,

Suddenly,

the “Moon Seal” lit up simultaneously on the dog’s back and the old man’s nape, radiating a silver-white brilliance.

Their fur, blood and flesh, and organ tissues quickly merged,

in less than two seconds,

the Chihuahua Mili was completely integrated into the old man’s right arm… The muscle fibers and the number of nerves multiplied, beginning to undergo terrifying transformations that transcended human biological structure.

The palm area completely tore open, forming a canine head structure.

With a mouth in the palm,

teeth between the fingers,

eyes growing on the back of the hand,

the right arm transformed into a ferocious dog, directly biting at Yi Chen across the campfire.

At that moment,

a cold iron glint reached the old man from behind even faster, with a great sword chopping down!

Boom!

The barbecue grill and the campfire were instantly destroyed, and the ground was smashed into a nearly ten-centimeter-deep slash mark.

The one who swung this sword was Dagbert,

Unfortunately, only some flesh and charred debris were left at the point of the sword’s strike.

Drip~

Foul-smelling blood dripped from above.

The old man, with a layer of skin and flesh scraped off his back, was fixed in a grotesque crawling posture on the ceiling.

“You guys are really capable… despite emitting such a weak aura.”

Just as the old man was looking for gaps to exploit and preparing to take down Yi Chen, who he perceived as the weakest,

a deadly chill suddenly struck.

Silent yet filled with killing intent.

“What?”

The old man instinctively dodged askew.

A dagger deeply stabbed into his back… If not for his quick reaction, his spine might have been severed, rendering him immobile.

At the same moment,

the old man’s right arm, which possessed Self-Awareness, suddenly bit at the assassin behind him.

Whish!

Miss Anna’s coat and inner shirt were torn open, revealing an almost perfect female waistcoat line, but she was unharmed due to her prior evasion.

“You guys…”

By this time, the old man had fully realized that aside from Yi Chen, these seemingly young humans were not easy to deal with.

He decisively abandoned the idea of fighting against multiple opponents,

ignored the dagger in his back,

and with white fur growing on his legs and muscles swelling for enhanced strength, he rapidly crawled along the ceiling of the corridor… the speed was so fast it seemed to leave afterimages to the naked eye.

Just as the old man thought he could easily shake off these young people,

Drip~ Drip!

Light footsteps followed quickly behind.

The old man looked back and saw that the person chasing him, whom he thought was the weakest, was a young man sprinting with a speed that matched his own.

Not only that,

The woman who fought with daggers was also following closely behind, not much slower in speed.

“This guy can move so fast!

But that’s good, chasing at such speed will completely stretch their formation… Once this guy is alone, I’ll kill him directly.”

As the old man was pondering his plan,

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot echoed through the hallway! The sound was so loud, it almost shattered the eardrums. @@novelbin@@

It was completely different from the bullet that had previously penetrated the old man’s skull.

And the target of the muzzle was no longer the head, but the “right leg”.

The large-caliber bullet in rotation pierced right through the foot, destroying the shinbone along with it, and exploded at the knee, leaving the entire right leg a bloody mess.

Crawling was hindered,

The old man nearly fell from the top because of this shot.

The initially swift crawl also stopped because of this,

At that moment,

Yi Chen in full sprint perfectly connected with a knee jump, directly approaching the hanging, one-legged old man.

Who knew,

The hanging old man, ignoring the injury to his right leg, suddenly turned his head and glared with eyes filled with silver blood vessels.

“You couldn’t even chop off my left hand, yet you still insist on catching up… If you want to die so badly, become my food.”

Shoo!

The transformed right arm tore open to its fullest extent, revealing sharp teeth capable of biting through skin, targeting the young man who was about to arrive!

At the same moment.

Yi Chen, leaping through the air, switched to holding the ax with both hands.

Creak creak~

Tendrils of plant roots grew from the palm, wrapping around the ax handle, and faint green energy could be seen flowing between the roots.

[Visual Enhancement]

The biting transformed arm appeared to move in slow motion in his vision,

Searching for weaknesses.

Yi Chen spotted the thinnest spot at the base of the canine mouth and determined the perfect path for his strike.

Yi Chen’s spine bent backward like a bow, stretched to the maximum… then suddenly released!

He brought the force of every muscle in his body into his arms, delivering the most powerful air slash!

Shoo!

He split the canine mouth!

Continuing to cut along the arm bone, he bisected the transformed arm completely up to the shoulder.

Yi Chen, having delivered the perfect strike, also landed right in front of the old man.

Face to face.

Before the other could scream in pain,

Yi Chen, along with the black ball of flesh on his shoulder, glared intently, face to face.

Whir!

A tidal wave of spiritual power washed directly over the old man’s consciousness.

His eyes turned dull.

The old man, dragging his blasted right leg and chopped-off right arm, fell from the top.

Before hitting the ground,

Miss Anna lightly stepped up, directly straddling the old man’s back,

Using the dagger embedded in his back, she sliced off the skin layer around the neck “Moon Seal” that met the upper layer standards.

However,

As the skin containing the “Moon Seal” was completely peeled off,

The old man’s body convulsed wildly, his silver hair fell out, and his silver eyes also dimmed.

Completely dead!

Upon landing, Yi Chen also squatted next to the corpse right away, using plant roots to check the body.

“Can stripping the skin with the Moon Seal cause death?”

Of course, Yi Chen had another purpose for the check—[Brain]

Having had a ‘first taste,’

He no longer peeled off the brain but controlled the roots to penetrate the skull and directly extract the brain marrow fluid… It felt somewhat like drinking coconut water.

During the extraction, his eyes lit up.

Although his intelligence attribute hadn’t increased,

He obtained a series of memories about the [Old John Theater] and information about the internal Moon Transformers.
