"Whew..."
"Can't panic! Can't panic!"
Frightened and nervous at the same time, Ryan tried to find inner calm. His brain was running at high speed to find a solution.
The more critical the situation is, the calmer you have to be!
"Divine," Jacob said, "every big event needs calmness!"
"Benjamin's brain field development is only 11.3%, while I already have 12%..."
"Right! That's his weakness! It's also my strength!"
"Close-range divine mind blast! There's still hope! I still have hope!"
In an instant, Ryan made a decision in his mind, took a deep breath, and quickly closed his eyes, entering the 'Subtlety' state again.
Although his eyes were tightly closed, in the 'Subtlety' state, everything in front of him was clearer than what he could see with his naked eye. He could even see Benjamin's swinging fist, the pores on his skin, and a few sweat hairs curled by the soot.
Even the speed of Benjamin's fist in the air seemed to have slowed down more than ten times, and Ryan could accurately judge the trajectory of the fist.
"Swish!"
Without hesitation, Ryan immediately followed the path of the judge's fist, and at the moment when Benjamin's fist almost touched his cheek, he twisted his head and avoided it by sticking to Benjamin's fist.
"Hm?"
Benjamin saw this and looked stunned.
He is a first Grade peak Elite. Although the speed of the punch has not yet reached the point of breaking the sound barrier, the speed is still too fast to use common sense to speculate.
Such a punch, an ordinary person like Ryan simply cannot dodge it.
But now, Ryan has dodged it!
This kid is something weird!
"Kill!"
Ryan tightly closed his eyes and abruptly opened them. He had fully activated his brain domain, and his mental energy screwed into a stream. Along his eyes, there was a brilliant light burst out to stare at Benjamin's eyes, and he angrily shouted.
Boom!
In an instant, Benjamin only felt Ryan's eyes become like two huge rounds of sun, emitting radiant light and heat.
"Your... brain field development rate... David, you f*cking lied to me..."
Under the eye-catching light, Benjamin's head buzzed, almost about to explode in shock.
Such an intense mental power impact! Ryan's strength is obviously not what David said, with a brain development degree of only 10% of the scum!
On the contrary, Ryan's brain development degree has reached 12%!
This is not a loser, but a genius!
A genius!
Benjamin's eyes showed a strong look of shock and disbelief, and he tried to escape without saying a word.
But at this moment, everything is already too late. He simply can't make any action. Ryan's mental power flood, like a flood of broken dike, fiercely rushed along his eyes into his mind.
"Buzz..."
Under the terrifying impact, Benjamin only felt as if there was an invisible terrifying hammer, fiercely smashing heavily on his head. In just a moment, his eyes went black, and he felt like he was falling fast, as if he was falling into the bottomless abyss of terrifying darkness.
His limbs, at this moment, were as if stripped of connection with the brain, and they simply did not obey. The body was limp and paralyzed on the ground.
"Damn it..."
At this moment, Benjamin regretted taking this task from David for a mere three thousand star coins. If there was a choice, he would not have taken it.
Killing a genius, not to mention for three thousand, even if it was ten times that amount, thirty thousand, he would definitely not do it.
The reason why geniuses are geniuses is that they can create miracles that the world cannot believe!
"Kill!"
Ryan didn't hesitate for a minute and a half. His hands braced towards the bed board and quickly flew out. Immediately after, he struck out with a fierce punch, landing heavily on Benjamin's waist side spleen.
"Ah... Ow..."
The spleen is one of the most delicate organs in the human body. Ryan's fist smashed down, and Benjamin immediately howled out in pain. His body curled up like a shrimp, violently twitching.
He is only a peak Elite, with physical abilities higher than normal people, but not to the extent that the sword is invulnerable.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Ryan simply ignored Benjamin's miserable howl. His two fists rained punches one after another, meditating on the 'Subtlety' state control. Like a high-precision instrument, they landed on Benjamin's spleen location with unparalleled precision.
The black and dreary room, at this moment, was filled only with the sound of fists colliding with bodies.
...
Ryan did not know exactly how many punches he had thrown until his arms were as soft as noodles. After unconsciously slamming two more punches into Benjamin's body, he collapsed to the ground and gasped violently.
When he turned his head to look at Benjamin, he saw that Benjamin was lying on the floor like a dead fish, with arms and legs no longer twitching and eyes staring at the godless hollow of the ceiling. His face had become completely bloodless.
"Benjamin, dead!"
Ryan looked at the scene, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently a few times. He couldn't help but take a few steps backward.
Benjamin's condition was typical of a ruptured spleen and death from blood loss.
He had fought many times, but killing was a first for him. Especially killing an Elite!
"Benjamin..."
Ryan swallowed hard after taking his foot and kicking Benjamin. The other party's body swayed with his movement without any reaction, apparently already dead on the ground.
"Shit!" Ryan cursed, and was excited, and apprehensive.
The excitement was that he had actually achieved the First Grade Elite level, which was the peak of the First Grade, before the Spiritual Martial Fusion. Such a battle record was a miracle!
The apprehension was that he had killed someone. How would he dispose of the corpse? Once he was discovered, not only would he be jailed, but Divine Fire's secret would be exposed as well!
"Huzzah!"
But at that moment, Divine Fire in Ryan's mind fiercely lit up, and the black pupils abruptly turned into two golden flames.
Along Benjamin's body, a thin fragment of mental energy, like the light of a firefly, quietly floated toward him. On Divine Fire's turn, it quickly turned into a spring rain, floating and sprinkling on his brain field.
The next moment, a little spark flew out of his eyes and landed on Benjamin's body. It was a small fire, but it seemed to have the ability to burn the world. The moment it fell, Benjamin's body quickly disappeared from sight, not even leaving any ashes. Only Benjamin's clothes and shoes remained on the ground, along with a spark that was brighter than before.
That little spark wavered and flew into his mind, causing the golden Divine Fire to brighten a little.
" w.. .t.. .f... ..."
Ryan was confused and stunned, looking at the ground and at his shirt.
The expression on his face was complicated to the extreme: there was surprise, but also shock. He really did not expect that the Divine Fire, in addition to devouring spiritual fragments, had the ability to devour life force as well.
It devoured it so cleanly that not even a single bit of bone powder was left behind.
This Divine Fire was simply a great killer that destroyed corpses!
Could it be that God gave him this Divine Fire not to make him a great hero,
but to make him a great villain?
