Chapter 48: Targeted?!

The Fourth Act ticket was instantly pulled out of the dimensional space by Su Ming.

But…

Too late!

Boom!!!

Xia Weiwei's body, like a blood-colored balloon that had been punctured, exploded with a bang!

But—

It wasn't the gore-filled carnage one would imagine!

Instead…

A blood-colored mist spread.

A gust of cold night wind blew through, completely dissipating in the air.

The only thing Xia Weiwei left behind was the fallen red high heel.

"Damn!"

Su Ming stood where he was, his face grim.

This damn…

It's the second time!

Again, just as he was about to deliver the finishing blow.

The opponent slipped away from under his blade using this extremely bizarre method!

Did he spare him?

Definitely not!

This feeling is more disgusting than eating a hundred flies!

"The Black Shadow organization…"

Su Ming slowly lifted his head, his gaze sweeping over the dozen corpses on the ground.

Finally, his eyes fell again on that red high heel.

Nameless fury burned fiercely.

"Ha!"

Su Ming took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Anger solves no problem.

It only clouds his judgment.

Begin…

Review!

It was that night a few days ago.

The cargo yard piled with abandoned containers.

The woman wearing a black veil turned into a cloud of Blood Mist in exactly the same way.

She Vanish Into Thin Air right under his eyes.

Back to the point.

That woman's strength and temperament rank among the strongest in front of the vast majority of people.

That's understandable.

But why?!

Why would even someone like Xia Weiwei, who only has a bit of looks, knows how to cling to power, and whose strength is almost zero—

—also possess such a bizarre and powerful survival technique?!

"Could this Blood Escape technique… have become commonplace?"

No!

Impossible!

Su Ming almost instantly dismissed that absurd notion.

If it truly were commonplace, why wouldn't he have it?

Why did none of the Black Shadow organization members he easily slaughtered just now use it?

"Huh?"

A scene flashed violently in Su Ming's mind—

Just a few minutes earlier.

The last survivor, in desperate pleading, revealed several key pieces of information.

"A high-ranking figure in the organization who was severely injured a few days ago, Miss Yan!"

"She holds Xia Weiwei in high regard…"

"So… so that's it…"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes, murmuring softly.

The black-veil woman that day was Miss Yan, a relatively high-ranking member of the Black Shadow organization.

This bizarre survival technique was most likely given to Xia Weiwei by her.

"Heh…"

Su Ming stood where he was, a cold, curved smile tugging at his mouth, his tone mocking.

"What a… deep connection indeed!"

Black Shadow?!

Now he can be sure this is an underground force that has already begun to take shape and is quietly growing in the shadows!

Then the problem is simple.

"Before the opponent grows into a colossal being…"

"Crush them all!"

Raising a tiger as a menace—he gets it perfectly!

"Eagle Lord's branch base… Abandoned Chemical Plant…"

Su Ming's eyes hardened; he made a decision.

First, use up today's three sacrificial opportunities.

Then, go to that so‑called base in person!

Even if he can't find Miss Yan…

He'll still return a big gift!

"Huh…"

Su Ming shook his head, temporarily suppressing his chaotic thoughts.

His gaze fell on the items scattered on the ground.

A pile of white‑quality trash.

And that green‑quality Power Arm Armor.

As a qualified scavenger, he naturally maintains professional standards, leaving none behind.

All of these are fodder for his Crimson Throne!

Su Ming no longer hesitated; he stepped toward the nearest corpse, ready to pocket all the loot.

However—

Just as his finger was about to touch the item,

an overwhelmingly intense sense of being watched arrived without warning.

Who?!

Su Ming's muscles tensed instantly.

This feeling…

is completely different from the prying of those clumsy stalkers.

Calm, restrained, scrutinizing!

Most importantly, extremely covert!

Without the aid of the Fate Pocket Watch, he could never have noticed.

That means…

There's a top‑tier master!

Hiding in the shadows, observing everything that happens here!

"Damn!"

Su Ming muttered a curse under his breath, and his murderous intent boiled instantly.

No matter who the opponent is or what their purpose may be,

he will treat them all as enemies first!

When dealing with enemies, his method is almost always one—

Kill!

Without any hesitation, Su Ming planted a fierce foot.

"Bang!"

A muffled blast rang out.

The hard cement floor actually cracked under his force!

His whole body, propelled by that terrifying burst, became like an arrow released from a bow.

His body left an after‑image in the air, accompanied by a sharp whoosh, heading toward the source of the watching sense—

the dark corner of a wall two hundred meters away, blasting toward it!

In just a few breaths, Su Ming reached the corner.

However.

It was empty!

Not a single silhouette.

Only a few dry leaves whirled on the ground, lifted by the wind.

Su Ming lowered his head.

On the ground were a few very faint footprints.

Without close inspection, they would be undetectable.

Sure enough, someone…

managed to escape!

Su Ming's complexion darkened completely.

What a fast reaction speed!

What a damn decisive retreat!

This is definitely beyond what an ordinary person could do!

From feeling watched, to murderous intent boiling, to charging forward, the whole process took only a few fleeting seconds.

He can even escape like this?!

Such combat competence, a keen intuition for danger…

Terrifying as this!

"Some trouble…"

He can basically be certain.

That guy who was hiding in the shadows earlier wasn't a member of the Black Shadow organization!

Xia Weiwei can't reach a powerhouse like that.

"So… most likely…"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Official!

Only the Official have the capability and foundation to cultivate elites of this caliber.

Thinking that, Su Ming's expression grew even more grim.

Being singled out by an organization like Black Shadow that can't go public, he doesn't really care.

If one shows up, he kills it.

If a pair shows up, he kills a pair!

But being targeted by the Official, the nature is completely different!

The Official represents order!

It is Rule!

It is justice!

It is a violent machine that can still operate after the cataclysm arrives!

Opposing them…

No matter how confident or inflated Su Ming becomes, he hasn't become so arrogant as to think he now has the ability to contend…

And moreover…

He is not the type who completely disregards reason and moral distinction.

For villains, he is not soft‑hearted.

But…

If he doesn't distinguish right from wrong, indiscriminately kills innocents, and loses his own bottom line.

Then is he still himself?!

"Is it a coincidence that you saw this?"

"Or have you been watching me since some point?"

"What will your attitude toward me be next?"

"A murderous, out‑of‑control sacrificial victim who needs to be eliminated?"

"Or a civilian powerhouse who can be observed, recruited, or even used?"

"Tsk… Plans always end up lagging behind changes!"

Su Ming let out a light laugh and stopped pondering.

Now he can basically confirm that the lookout has already fled far away.

Further wild speculation only adds needless trouble and is meaningless.

"Hey, keep picking up trash!"

Su Ming returned to his spot and tossed those spoils one by one into the Dimensional Space.

When troops arrive, the general blocks; when water comes, earth shields.

At the end of the day, this fucked‑up world.

Ultimately still…

Strength is king!

He looked up and glanced at the sky.

The moonlight grew increasingly cold.

"Now, it's time to get down to business!"
