Chapter 35: A Moment of Life and Death
"Where?"
Seeing Shi Yuanliang's mysterious appearance, Du Mu couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart.
"A martial arts club. Shi Yuanliang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's not the kind of club where members exchange martial arts experiences with each other or learn from each other, but the kind that provides sparring and is specially used for members to feed and improve their actual combat skills, and it is said that there are occasional life and death battles to observe!"
Du Mu raised his eyebrows: "How much is the membership fee?"
"50,000 star dollars a year. Shi Yuanliang shrugged his shoulders, "This is the basic fee, and if you have special requirements for sparring, you need to pay an additional fee." ”
Du Mu glanced at Shi Yuanliang speechlessly: "Do you think I look like someone who can afford such an expensive fee?"
"Uh....." Shi Yuanliang laughed dryly, "I can lend it to you first!"
Fifty thousand star yuan is not a small amount, if it is a few thousand star yuan of expenses, for the sake of being able to make friends with Du Mu, a friend, Shi Yuanliang will also do it for Du Mu, but fifty thousand star yuan is too much. He can only borrow.
“....... No need. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Du Mu still refused.
If you want to talk about actual combat skills, he can also improve by fighting the Faceless in his dreams, and there is also a guardian, so he can't afford to spend 50,000 star yuan to seek a sparring partner in the club.
That's enough money to buy a Bodhi fruit!
"Okay!" Shi Yuanliang didn't force it, patted Du Mu on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's have a meal together." ”
Du Mu nodded and left the martial arts training hall with Shi Yuanliang.
......
After eating a meal until dark, Du Mu and Shi Yuanliang went home separately.
At this time, it was nearly nine o'clock, and it was in the city center, when the nightlife had just begun, but unfortunately it was located in the middle of nowhere, and there were many gangsters, so when it was dark, there were basically no people on the streets outside.
Walking alone on the dark and silent street, looking at the orange street lamps in the distance, Du Mu couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.
More than a month ago, he was just an ordinary and ordinary teenager, with low martial arts qualifications, but he didn't expect that time had passed, and after just over a month, he became a martial arts apprentice, and he also had many sword skills and physical skills, and his strength was far better than that of ordinary peers.
"It's all the credit of the dream realm and the nightmare energy!" Du Mu sighed secretly, and then shook his head, "It's a pity that the nightmare energy that can be obtained is getting less and less now." ”
With the increase in the combat power rating to E level, the nightmare energy he can obtain by hunting the Faceless has also plummeted, originally 4 could get 1 point, but now it has become 1 point for killing 10, and on average, he may not be able to get 1 nightmare energy in a night.
"You'll have to find a stronger Nightmare to hunt!"
Du Mu thought of the guards at the end of the street with a combat strength of up to 42.
He now has 35 Combat Power, which is 7 less than the Guardian.
"A one-fifth difference in strength...... If you challenge it now, the probability of failure is too high, so let's wait until the combat power reaches 40 before trying!"
Du Mu made some calculations in his heart, and decided to wait for the strength level to break through and the overall combat power to increase before trying to challenge the defenders.
The necessary caution is still necessary, after all, I don't know what will happen if I die in the dream, and if I hang up in reality, I will regret it.
While thinking, Du Mu unconsciously came to the alley he passed by on weekdays, and as soon as he stepped into it, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and looked up, at the exit of the alley more than ten meters away, there was a figure standing there.
Through the dim moonlight, Du Mu faintly saw that it was a young man wearing a black jacket with a thin face, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his pale face was with a hint of coldness, and his snake-like eyes were staring directly at Du Mu.
"Who are you?" Du Mu stopped and looked at the comer.
The young man in the jacket looked at Du Mu coldly for a few seconds, a cold look suddenly appeared on his face, and his arm was raised suddenly, as if he was aiming something at Du Mu.
"Greetings to the Silverring Gang!"
The moment he saw the things in the hands of the young man in the jacket, Du Mu suddenly felt numb on his scalp and his hairs stood on end.
Pistol!
The young man in the jacket was holding a pistol!
The moment the gun was pointed at Du Mu, he only felt a chill surging up from the depths of his heart, his head buzzed, and the fear of death was like a cold palm, clutching his heart tightly in an instant.
At the moment of lightning, Du Mu snorted, instinctively cast the iron block in the six styles, and the next moment, he heard a slight sound of snorting, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left chest, and a strong force hit his chest, hitting his body staggering, and he retreated from the iron state in an instant, and the whole person involuntarily took a few steps back.
When he stood firm, Du Mu looked down at his chest and found that his left chest was already dripping with blood, and a bullet was embedded in the muscle for two or three centimeters, leaving only a small section outside, and the red blood was flowing down the wound.
The sharp pain quickly pulled Du Mu back from his panic and distraction, he looked up at the stunned young man in the jacket, deep in his heart was like a volcano roaring, and boundless anger suddenly erupted, making his eyes red in an instant.
"Damn it!"
With a low roar, Du Mu's whole person suddenly rushed out, and there was a black long sword in his palm halfway, followed by the sleeve of his upper arm bulging suddenly, and he was tensed by the swollen muscles.
"Impossible!How can a martial apprentice resist a bullet!?"
On the other side, the young man in the jacket was shocked and roared, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, he was very confident in his marksmanship, and he was sure that the shot just now hit the kid's left chest and heart, but to his disbelief, the other party seemed to have only suffered a minor injury.
Shocked, he hurriedly stabilized his wrist and wanted to continue to pull the trigger, but before he could make a move, a black light instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, like a streamer flashing, suddenly, stabbing into his forehead, and the majestic strength wrapped in it exploded, shattering his head like a watermelon, and white and yellow were sprinkled all around in an instant.
Whew!
Du Mu gasped violently, staring at the headless corpse in front of him with a distorted expression, until the corpse slammed to the ground, he suddenly came to his senses, staggered back three or four steps, and looked at the situation in front of him in a daze.
"I killed ......"
He muttered to himself, then reacted a few seconds later, a gloomy look on his face.
"No, this guy is damned!!"
The moment he was aimed at the muzzle just now, Du Mu really felt the existence of death.
Unlike the sense of death that comes with fighting the Faceless, it is a sense of powerlessness and fear in the face of death.
In the current situation where martial arts are prevalent and powerful warriors are one-man enemies, thermal weapons are still an existence that cannot be ignored, even if it is just a pistol, there are still a few warriors who can resist head-on, not to mention the martial apprentices under it.
If it weren't for Du Mu's acquisition of iron before this, and his instinct at the critical moment, the moment the gun rang out would have been the moment of his death.
After a long time, the rapid wheezing sound in the alleyway gradually subsided, and was replaced by a low roar full of murderous intent and gritted teeth.
"Silverband!!"
