Protagonist:
Su Mo
"Sometimes, having a gun doesn't necessarily mean you can win."
Su Mo casually shook the blood off his axe, his gaze calm.
As if he had just done a trivial little thing.
But this plain face of his thoroughly intimidated everyone from the Axe Gang present; not a single one dared to move rashly.
Even the gun-wielding Second-in-command was dealt with by him, so what could they do relying on the axes in their hands?
"Y-You... don't come over!"
"Don't, don't come over!"
"..."
Watching Su Mo walk toward them step by step, fear finally gained the upper hand in their hearts; no one cared about the Second-in-command anymore, all scattering like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
Very soon, only a sparse four or five Axe Gang members remained in the Du Men.
They surrounded the Second-in-command, watching Su Mo warily.
Su Mo didn't give chase either, instead looking at the handgun on the ground.
Falling into deep thought.
"If I use this, would the kills count on my head?"
Just now, when Su Mo was completing the Task, he felt that relying on himself alone to act, the speed of completing the Task was really too slow; although he is now a Kung Fu Master, dealing with them one by one still consumed his stamina, and after clearing a station, if he wanted to recover his state, he would need to rest for at least an hour at minimum. If it continued at this speed, by the time the Task time ended, he might not necessarily get Heaven Ranking First.
So just now he was thinking, was there any shortcut.
It just so happened that at this moment the Second-in-command who came out holding a handgun gave Su Mo a novel idea.
Wanting to hunt and Obtain points alone, martial arts alone wouldn't work.
But if he borrowed modern tools, there would be an Opportunity to achieve it!
The members inside the Axe Gang are basically all ordinary people; they aren't Kung Fu Masters who can Avoid bullets. If he used modern weapons, it would undoubtedly greatly Upgrade the speed.
However, there is still one point that needs verification right now: would the kills from using a weapon count on his own head.
This point is very important.
Otherwise, if he exhausted a huge effort at that time, but got nothing in the end, that would be truly speechless.
"Find one to test first."
Thinking up to here, Su Mo stepped forward two steps and picked up the handgun on the ground.
Bang!
Aiming at a lackey standing near the Second-in-command, without any hesitation he directly pulled the Trigger, and the lackey directly fell to the ground in response.
And Su Mo also looked at the Mission Panel.
The number rose from the initial eighty-seven, increasing by one to eighty-eight people.
"Then wouldn't completing the Task be Simple like this?"
The corner of Su Mo's mouth revealed a trace of a smile; looking at the already unconscious Second-in-command, a brilliant plan arose in his heart.
Axe Gang Headquarters, in a dim secret room.
The Second-in-command opened his eyes.
I, didn't die?
Where is this?
Memory fragments flashed back incessantly in his mind, finally stopping at the moment his arm was severed.
Right!
Hand, my hand!
The Second-in-command slowly turned his head, looking toward his Right Arm.
But he only saw an empty void, and a wound casually wrapped in gauze.
Hand, severed, severed!
My hand, severed?!
The Second-in-command just wanted to shout loudly, but discovered his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something, unable to make any sound at all.
"Mmph mph mph..."
"Yo, finally awake?"
Hearing the noise, Su Mo rose from the sofa and walked over, removing the cloth strip stuffed in the Second-in-command's mouth.
"Huff huff..."
The Second-in-command panted for a moment, looking weakly at Su Mo.
Even in such a sorry state, he still didn't forget to threaten viciously, "You... who exactly are you, do you know this is the Axe Gang, when Chen Ge and them return you'll die miserably!"
"Hehe~"
"Looks like you still haven't figured out the situation."
Su Mo smiled.
Before the Second-in-command could react, a cold light suddenly flashed before his face.
"Ah!!"
Immediately after came another mournful howl.
"Leg, leg, my leg, pull it out, pull it out!!"
"Pull it out, like this……"
Su Mo yanked the fruit knife out of the wound, then stabbed down hard again.
He then looked at the Second-in-command, who was drenched in cold sweat, and said with a smiling face, "They say you're the Second-in-command of the Axe Gang, so may I ask, Second-in-command, do you understand the situation now?"
"Yes, yes yes……"
Toughness is useless in the face of life and death; the Second-in-command begged Su Mo for mercy again and again.
Better to live in disgrace than die with honor; he understood this principle very well.
"Now I'll ask you a few questions; you just need to answer truthfully. If the answers satisfy us, we might spare your life." Su Mo threw away the fruit knife in his hand and said calmly.
"Understood?"
"Understood, understood, Big Brother, whatever you say!"
The Second-in-command nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
Su Mo asked, "First question: where is your Axe Gang's leader?"
"Replying to Shaoye, our leader and the advisor said last night they were going to find, to find the Number One Under Heaven expert to deal with that Pig Cage Village."
"Number One Under Heaven expert?"
"Yes, but that whatever Number One Under Heaven definitely isn't Shaoye's opponent."
The Second-in-command smiled with a fawning face.
"……"
Su Mo nodded in realization.
In the martial world, the only expert who could be called Number One Under Heaven and have dealings with the Axe Gang was the Fire Cloud Evil God, formerly ranked first on the Assassin List.
No wonder most of the Axe Gang's high-ranking members weren't here today.
So they went to invite the Fire Cloud Evil God.
"They moved pretty fast……"
Su Mo had originally thought that after Tian Can and Di Que were dealt with, the Axe Gang side could rest for a while.
Who would have thought that just after two experts died on their end, they left to find the Fire Cloud Evil God.
It seems these Axe Gang bastards really remembered the Pig Cage Village, not wanting to waste a moment.
But if the Fire Cloud Evil God also comes out, would he also have a Hidden Mission on him?
Logically speaking, both Tian Can and Di Que, early-stage minor villains, had them, so a major villain like the Fire Cloud Evil God, capable of changing the plot, should have one too, right?
Thinking of this, Su Mo felt somewhat expectant.
If he could complete another Hidden Mission from the Fire Cloud Evil God, then this trip to the martial world might truly be highly profitable.
"……"
Just as Su Mo was calculating whether he could gain benefits from the Fire Cloud Evil God.
The Second-in-command of the Axe Gang beside him finally couldn't help it and asked tentatively, "Sha… Shaoye, do you have any more questions?"
"Oh… I almost forgot about you."
Su Mo turned his head, glanced at the Second-in-command, took out the gun from just now, and asked, "Your Axe Gang, as the number one gang, should have plenty of these things, right?"
