Amidst the rain of shell casings falling from the sky, two clips of specially crafted armor-piercing bullets sped toward Chu Tianyao.

Chu Tianyao’s figure traced a nimble arc across the ground. After dodging the two clips of bullets, his right hand swung like that of a gibbon’s, launching steel balls with incredible kinetic energy into the air, forming a dense barrage that instantly pierced through two drones!

“Bang! Bang!”

The two Tiger Bee Hunters disintegrated and shattered, bursting into flames and plummeting to the ground.

However, more drones were arriving one after another, starting to unleash the fury of armor-piercing bullets from a distance.

Even a Patrol Chief would find it challenging to withstand such specially crafted armor-piercing bullets, so the simplest method remained high-speed movement, making it impossible for the drones’ smart targeting systems to lock onto the target, rendering the mounted guns unable to keep up.

No matter how powerful the armor-piercing bullets were, missing the target rendered them useless, achieving at most only firepower suppression.

Moreover…

The drones could hardly carry many bullets given their load capacity!

“Fire!”

The Patrol Department members immediately began shooting, reinforcing the firepower suppression.

*Ordinary people’s nerve reaction speeds simply could not keep up with such high-speed combat, making guns meaningless.*

*For such a small target, with a movement speed of dozens of meters per second, able to dodge unpredictably and with extreme agility, even snipers stood no chance!*

“Whoosh!”

Chu Tianyao’s figure darted once again, transforming into a phantom that traversed dozens of meters in a blink.

By now, he had rushed right in front of the Patrol members!

The Tiger Bee Hunters, as they turned and flew over, identified the friendly target with intelligent targeting, and the mounted guns automatically switched from heavy fire mode to single-point precision shooting mode to avoid friendly fire.

But even so, with the drones’ targeting lock speed and gun pivot speed, wide-area spraying could still suppress firepower. How could single-point precision shooting keep up with Chu Tianyao?

Unable to form effective firepower suppression, the drones’ support became a joke.

It could be said, unless Chu Tianyao could be made to stop, drones would be of no real use!

In just an instant, Chu Tianyao charged into the midst of the Patrol crowd, ending up face-to-face with Lin Qing.

“Die.”

Chu Tianyao’s eyes were cold as a dark keratin layer and sharp nails appeared on his hand, resembling claws as they reached for Lin Qing’s heart with incredible speed.

*Just a somewhat capable little Patrol Officer,* he thought, *One strike, and he could carve out the opponent’s heart!*

He planned to kill this one, then go to the hospital to finish off the female Patrol Officer he had crippled before, and use the opportunity to kill some important figures to create more chaos.

Just at that moment—

“Huh?”

Chu Tianyao suddenly felt his vision blur, noticing that the young Patrol Officer right in front of him suddenly had hands that emitted a cold metallic sheen, shifting into a blur, with one hand grabbing his wrist and the other reaching for his heart!

Clearly intending to rip out his heart!

“How is this possible?”

Chu Tianyao’s pupils contracted sharply as he quickly discarded his thoughts of how such a small Patrol Officer had such astonishing speed, immediately reaching out with his other hand to block Lin Qing’s grasping hand.

But Lin Qing’s hand, reaching for the heart, deftly switched its position and immediately grasped Chu Tianyao’s wrist!

In that moment, both of Chu Tianyao’s hands were now caught!

“Courting death?”

Madness flickered in Chu Tianyao’s eyes, and his heart surged with killing intent.

As he prepared to break free, he suddenly realized that the young man’s face and neck were covered in a cold metallic sheen, staring at him expressionlessly, as if the person had become a metal statue at that moment!

Lin Qing’s hands seemed to have turned into the most solid and reliable alloy, firmly gripping his wrists!

The force was so immense that it seemed to crack his wrist bones.

“Damn it!”

Chu Tianyao’s eyes turned icy. He instantly understood Lin Qing’s intention was to capture him and use the drones to kill him!

“Want to die? I’ll make it happen for you!” A flicker of malevolence passed through his eyes as he suddenly threw a fierce knee strike, aiming directly at Lin Qing’s chest with full force!

*Even if the person was made entirely of alloy, he could dent it with a knee strike!*

*Capture alive?*

*Kill first!*

“Boom!!”

However, when Chu Tianyao’s knee strike hit Lin Qing’s chest, it felt like he struck an unimaginably tough substance, merely producing a dull thud and completely neutralizing the force of his knee strike.

He couldn’t help but be slightly stunned and instantly understood.

*This must be the full activation of the Free Body Combat Skill “Steel” and “Soft” states!*

*When fully unleashing the Combat Skill “Steel,” the entire body became like cast iron, unified inside and out, in the strongest defensive state. But after the body fully hardened, it became statue-like with no ability to move.*

*Fully unleashing the Combat Skill “Soft,” the entire body became exceptionally supple, ignoring attacks from blunt weapons. But, once the body fully softened, it lost power too.*

*Simultaneously activating both skills created the strongest defensive state with a combination of hardness and softness, but rendered movement impossible.*

But, clearly, Lin Qing didn’t intend to kill him using his own hands!

*He even activated the Combat Skill “Power” to make his body heavy and, through the Combat Skill “WeChat,” dispersed his power into the ground beneath him!*

“How is this happening?!”

*Chu Tianyao clenched his teeth tightly, furiously attacking Lin Qing, who had entirely transformed into a statue, to no avail.*

*Unless he exceeded his endurance limit, or his Mysterious Energy was depleted, he had no other way.*

*After being on the run for so long, he meant to go all out at the end, yet…*

*It ended so frustratingly?*

“Get away!!!”

Chu Tianyao growled with red eyes, feeling suffocated, his heart filled with anger and frustration transformed into killing intent, yet had no outlet, leaving him powerless and raging.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!”

Just a few seconds of delay, and numerous Tiger Bee Hunters quickly arrived, with the guns mounted on the drones already aiming at Chu Tianyao, initiating precise shooting from all angles!

Chu Tianyao’s body trembled. Just as he was about to sever his own arm to escape—

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!”

Armor-piercing bullets with astonishing penetration powers soared, spiraling through the air.

Even the scale armor defense formed by combat skills was pierced by armor-piercing bullets, which erupted into bursts of blood on his body!

“No…”

Chu Tianyao had nowhere to hide and could only endure it all, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Qing’s indifferent and emotionless sculptural face, feeling his life force gradually slipping away under the other’s control.

Lin Qing gazed down at him like a god, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Ultimately…

Powerlessly, he knelt before him.
