Wang Jixuan seized the initiative with that kick!
The silver-haired old man staggered backward, crashing into the elevator wall!
The two robust men reacted swiftly, ready to draw their guns and fire, but Wang Jixuan's hands had already swung forward, and amidst the brief, slicing sound of the air, the two thugs slowly slumped to the ground, clutching their throats.
A strong sense of alarm surged in Wang Jixuan's mind!
The silver-haired old man had already launched a counterattack, a fist wrapped in a faint blue-green glow smashing fiercely towards Wang Jixuan's face!
There was no time to duck!
Wang Jixuan shook his head and leaned his body to the side, barely evading the incoming direct hook punch. Being inexperienced in close combat, he immediately chose to jump backward to create distance, flinging three utility knives from his right hand!
The old man, missing his punch, pursued aggressively. The elevator shook from his impact, and as the sharp blades shot toward him, he didn't dodge at all but simply raised his hand to protect his face!
The mottled Qi within the old man was expanding rapidly, causing his body to swell as if it were a balloon being inflated.
The utility knives struck precisely on the back of the old man's hand!
There was no splattering blood;
The three utility knives penetrated two millimeters into the old man's hand before he casually tossed them to the floor.
"Who are you!"
The old man's voice roared like a lion.
Wang Jixuan didn't answer, rapidly retreating around the corner. Several nuts shot out with a whoosh, taking down the Black Fire Gang thugs who were looking up in this direction with their boards.
With no immediate threats behind him, Wang Jixuan turned to face the approaching silver-haired old man.
This old man's upper body had bulged with explosive muscles, tearing his custom suit to shreds!
The Bartender Gu Wending's voice echoed in Wang Jixuan's mind, filled with shock.
"He, he's actually a Spiritual Ability User! Our Black Fire's number three man is a Spiritual Ability User! My god! He's been in Lower City for over twenty years! Shouldn't he be fighting those Blade Beasts!"
This was indeed a Spiritual Ability User!
This Spiritual Ability User old man was the Black Fire Gang's number three figure he was searching for, 'Giant Bone Fish' Wen Heisen!
They were now engaged in close-quarters combat!
Wang Jixuan clenched his fists slightly, his eyes shimmering with a golden light, his toes tapping the ground, retreating swiftly backward.
Wen Heisen swung his iron fists fiercely, like a humanoid rhinoceros, each punch carrying enough force to break open an alloy door!
Wang Jixuan was not merely dodging; he kept flinging the utility knife blades hidden in his sleeves at Wen Heisen.
Facing ordinary gang thugs, his 'Qi Flying Knife' was unstoppable, but now it only tickled Wen Heisen, leaving shallow blood trails and a clear sensation of pain.
"You're seeking death! Ah!"
Wen Heisen swore vehemently, his eyes blood-red, his expression frenzied.
This reminded Wang Jixuan of the scripture he had read about Devil's Body Cultivation that devoured Blood Souls.
Facing such a formidable opponent for the first time in this world, Wang Jixuan's Dao Heart was eagerly anticipating the challenge.
It was as if... he had suddenly found a kindred spirit?
Yes, that was the feeling!
Even though the man before him was a ruthless killer and organ trafficker, his traits, which were completely different from ordinary humans, intrigued Wang Jixuan deeply!
Wang Jixuan's left hand formed a sword finger and kept pointing forward, while his right hand hovered behind him.
[Low-Level Body Method: Wind Riding Skill]!
The fierce currents from Wen Heisen's punches became the leverage for Wang Jixuan to use. Wang Jixuan spread the Qi from his Dantian throughout his body, his muscles relaxed, his body light as a feather, swaying left and right, propelled by the fist winds.
After more than a dozen punches whiffed, Wen Heisen was beyond furious!
Wang Jixuan, however, became increasingly calm, having almost estimated his opponent's strength.
He was at a definite disadvantage in terms of strength.
The Qi inside the Spiritual Ability User, although mottled and impure, was voluminous, comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Realm Third Realm 'Returning to Truth' Cultivator.
In Wang Jixuan's original world, Cultivation was divided into four major realms—Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Ascension. Each of the four major realms was further divided, with four stages in Foundation Establishment, three in Golden Core and Nascent Soul, and two in Ascension, the final stage being Mahayana.
As a former Mahayana Realm Cultivator, Wang Jixuan's judgment was pretty reliable.
Although Wen Heisen's Qi was abundant, it was highly mottled, even more chaotic and mixed than those who sought quick success through elixirs, Soul Devouring Techniques, and Dual Cultivation Methods.
Beyond that, this silver-haired old man didn't understand how to use the Qi in his body.
Is this what a Spiritual Ability User is?
No skills, no magic, only brute force stimulating the Qi within to enhance the body. This crude enhancement itself was damaging and harmful to the body, possibly even shortening his lifespan.
'Indeed, somewhat lacking.'
As Wang Jixuan was reflecting, Wen Heisen was on the verge of exploding with rage.
He had already thrown thirty-six punches! Chasing around the second-floor circular corridor for almost half a circle!
And yet he couldn't even touch the corner of this young man's clothes!
Several of Wen Heisen's trusted subordinates rushed out from the rooms connected to the circular corridor, but before they could raise their guns, the nuts that had been shot past struck their windpipes, shattering them.
Only then did Wen Heisen realize he was being played by this slippery young man!
The calm look in the young man's eyes brought immense humiliation to him!
"Ah!"
Wen Heisen's skin suddenly turned blood red!
Wang Jixuan landed, his right hand, which had been behind his back all this while, now holding a standard caliber pistol.
Wen Heisen stomped forward forcefully, his feet, now twice their normal size, burst through his shoes, and the concrete floor dented noticeably!
Bending his knee, lunging forward!
Wen Heisen's form, like a human cannonball, rushed directly at Wang Jixuan with an explosive sound!
Wang Jixuan had anticipated this, the four Godspeed Talismans adhered to the inside of his pants lit up simultaneously as his figure darted two steps to the left, and with his toes as the pivot, he elegantly spun half a circle.
Wen Heisen brushed past him, shattering the meter-high reinforced glass behind!
The angle Wang Jixuan had calculated for the 'giant bone fish' charge was just right.
He had actually known before:
When his Cultivation Technique combined with the powerful firearms of this world, it would be a decisive kill!
Now he could also say that phrase:
Fellow, the times have changed!
Wang Jixuan raised his gun, a calm smile appearing on his lips, his finger continuously pulling the trigger!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
In the gushing gunfire, six bullets successively shot toward Wen Heisen's back and the back of his head...
Huh?
Wang Jixuan paused because he saw... six distinct depressions appeared on Wen Heisen's back and the back of his head, but no blood spurted from the indentations.
At this moment, Wen Heisen seemed like a blood-colored bear, his body shaking vigorously, almost simultaneously ejecting the six bullets, which hit the ground with a crisp clinking sound.
No!
Couldn't pierce through even at such close range?
Ding!
The sound of an elevator opening came from the side, Wang Jixuan sharply noticed, at least ten gunmen from Black Fire Gang rushed into the circular corridor.
Wang Jixuan stared emotionlessly at Wen Heisen, who turned his head glaring fiercely back at him and roared as he charged again.
Wang Jixuan snorted softly from his nose, the pistol swinging horizontally and his body lunging forward, actually opting to clash head-on with Wen Heisen.
The moment just before striking Wen Heisen!
A tremor shook Wang Jixuan's entire Qi, and he somersaulted upwards dangerously avoiding Wen Heisen's sweeping arm, his right palm formed a sword finger, pointing at Wen Heisen's forehead.
Wen Heisen didn't realize he had been tricked, his forehead neither dodged nor avoided, aiming to directly smash Wang Jixuan's fingers.
Wang Jixuan's right hand suddenly trembled, a three-centimeter long utility knife blade appeared between the sword fingers, rapidly sliding towards Wen Heisen's right eye, and flicked lightly with his finger.
Caught off guard, Wen Heisen instinctively closed his eyes, a deep gash appeared on his right eyelid, and that blade segment was pushed into his right eyeball, causing him excruciating pain, making him unable to refrain from screaming!
"My eye! My eye!"
Wang Jixuan's movements flowed smoothly, his left hand already pressing on Wen Heisen's back!
With a twist of his left fingertips, a stack of paper talismans unfolded like a folding fan, sticking to the middle of Wen Heisen's back; he conveniently used this force to propel his body toward the broken window and shot out.
The Black Fire Gang fighters nearby holding rifles only saw a silhouette jumping out of the window.
They fired in succession, but that silhouette had already disappeared into the darkness.
Their gazes were instinctively drawn to the muscular figure...
Wen Heisen's hatred grew even more intense, as he turned to search for Wang Jixuan's figure.
Rustle rustle rustle!
The flesh-covered protrusions on his back, where the spread-out stack of paper talismans gently vibrated, its talisman patterns simultaneously shining with light!
Boom!
...
Racing close to the ground on the rooftop, Wang Jixuan turned his head to look back, seeing Wen Heisen blown forward and prostrate, inwardly exclaiming in astonishment.
No flesh burst open;
This didn't manage to break through the opponent's thick skin?
Wang Jixuan lightly raised an eyebrow, touched the empty inner pocket of his lining, without any hesitation, sped towards the outskirts of Black Fire Gang territory at full effort.
That Heavenly Venerable Wuliang.
What is really going on with Spiritual Ability Users?
Why does it feel like they are merged with demon people, similar to demon beasts?
What's the origin of that mottled Qi?
Of course, the most crucial point Wang Jixuan was focused on was...
Whether the method of generating this Qi could possibly be used for his own Cultivation.
"This world is getting more and more interesting."
Wang Jixuan's lips curved into a slight smile, his Dao Heart filled with a sense of pleasure, wishing he could sing out loud and laugh heartily into the clouds if not for the need to conceal his tracks!
Just as he was about to leave the Black Fire Gang territory, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stopped.
What was he going to do next?
Find a place to Cultivate, replenish his talismans, and figure out a way to craft some Magic Artifacts that could break through the skin of these Spiritual Ability Users.
He already had an idea about the specific type of Magic Artifact, he just needed to find some high-quality Blade Beast bones.
'Getting this done in the Lower City will likely require some coins, I certainly can't go back to the Thirteenth Floor to pluck those medical supplies, those are meant for saving ordinary people.'
He pondered briefly, then reached into his jacket pocket and pressed on the Soul Capturing Charm, listening to Gu Wending's muttering in his mind.
"He turned out to be a Spiritual Ability User, possibly even a D-level Spiritual Ability User, no wonder they've always obediently followed the orders from Thirteenth Institute, he is really a Spiritual Ability User from Thirteenth Institute... damn it, he's hidden this from us for over twenty years... why didn't he transform during the previous firefight!"
Wang Jixuan softly asked, "Bartender?"
"What, what do you want to do?" Gu Wending shouted with a trembling voice, "Please, don't kill me, let me find another body to live on!"
"You must have a lot of savings, and you know some secret spots where Black Fire Gang hides materials, right? I can expend some Spiritual Power to extend your life by three days, only requiring a small price from you."
Master Wang spoke gently, his right thumb lightly rubbing against his index and middle fingers.
This method was called 'marketing', he had seen similar experiences in Mu Liang's memories.
