The resurrected Su Xin activated the Undying Golden Body trait for the first ti.
He stood up from the dilapidated armchair, facing the barrage of bullets, and coldly looked out the broken floor-to-ceiling window at the dozen drones.
Bullets fell like rain on his body, yet they were like ants shaking a tree; the golden bullets could only bounce off powerlessly, landing on the expensive, soft carpet, unable to even tear his clothes.
However, while the bullets couldn't harm Su Xin, Su Xin couldn't do anything about the drones in the air.
Not only because the drones were over ten ters away, but also because the Damage Transfer Superpower had no effect on chanical objects.
Thus, he had no solution for the mont.
Su Xin's gaze was sharp as he ordered in his mind:
"Upgrade, Sword God Slash!"
This was his only attack superpower.
And since it's an attack superpower, the upgraded trait must be related to attack.
At tis like this, with anger boiling inside him, Su Xin didn't mind spending a re ten thousand karma points; after all, upgrading was inevitable.
As soon as he willed it, a crisp and pleasant system prompt sounded:
"Ding! Sword God Slash upgraded to LV4."
"Please choose between the following two traits: 1. Unlimited Continuous Slash, 2. Frenzied Slash."
[Unlimited Continuous Slash: During the effective ti, blade beams can be slashed infinitely.]
[Frenzied Slash: Slashes a blade beam containing special power, which explodes into countless tiny blade-shard fragnts that attack the surrounding ten ters when the power is exhausted and dissipated.]
Su Xin chose the latter without hesitation.
At that mont, the effect of the Undying Golden Body was still ongoing, and Su Xin charged through the barrage outwards, jumping fiercely when he reached the edge of the building.
In mid-air, he materialized the short knife Deng Zhongquan gave him yesterday, gripping it tightly in his left hand while drawing it from its sheath with his right, and swung forward.
A blade beam slashed through the air.
"Bang bang bang!!"
Bullets continued to fall densely on his body until he slashed this knife; the effect of the Undying Golden Body abruptly ended, and the bullets rcilessly pierced through his body.
At the mont before his death, with his consciousness yet to dissipate, Su Xin willed an Instant Teleportation back to the room.
The blade beam he slashed cut through one of the drones at lightning speed.
With double flight speed, quadruple slash kinetic energy, and the montum of Su Xin's fierce leap, the knife was slashed with full force, instantly unleashing trendous power, directly shredding the drone.
anwhile, as the blade beam dissipated, the Frenzied Slash effect automatically activated, and the blade beam suddenly transford into countless sparkling blade-shard fragnts, shooting out in all directions.
"Ka ka ka!!"
The crisp sounds of collision ford a series.
The dozen drones within a ten-ter radius were all hit by blade-shard fragnts, causing either the body to shatter or wings to break—none could continue flying, all falling downwards.
Back in the room, Su Xin...
was resurrected again.
"Mr. Su, are you okay?"
The agents who rushed in were both surprised and in awe, with a trace of panic in their eyes as they looked at Su Xin.
"Zhan Shijie had you guarding here, is this how you protect?"
Su Xin glanced casually at the two.
"Mr. Su... we... we guarded strictly... but..."
One agent stamred in explanation.
But Su Xin didn't pay attention to their aning; instead, he wielded the knife and slit his throat, killing all the agents on-site without leaving a single survivor.
He couldn't discern whether what they said was true or false, nor could he determine the truth of this attack, or who the mastermind was.
All he knew was that the only thing he could do now was to vent his rage through actions.
Previously, he saw the Celestial Kingdom and Yonghui Financial Group easily submit, almost obedient to him, and felt that it was aningless.
He wanted them to resist.
He thought that was exciting.
But the excitent he wanted was head-on, hard combat; even if the enemy wanted to launch hundreds or thousands of missiles or even nuclear bombs, he would happily find a remote place to withstand it actively.
He felt that was badass, and very exciting.
But now, he didn't know who were hiding in dark corners, sending attackers from ti to ti, using such conspiratorial thods, treating him like a fool—this really irked him.
Su Xin walked to the broken floor-to-ceiling window, leaned down and looked downward, his gaze fixed on the ground direction, then closed his eyes and quietly waited for three seconds.
After successfully entering Stealth State, Su Xin perford a directed Random Instant Teleportation that appeared on the ground.
Surrounding people gathered in fear at a distance, pointing and discussing around the drone debris in front of the hotel building, buzzing in conversation.
Su Xin remained in a stealth state, casually picking a few pieces from the scattered drone parts on the ground, hiding them with him, and putting them into his pocket.
The prerequisite for the Other-Transformation Superpower is that it must not be detected by the opponent; in his stealth state, he just quietly took a few inconspicuous fragnts, which naturally could not be perceived by them.
Next, he just needs to wait for ten more minutes to find the owner of these drones.
However, during this ti, he wouldn't foolishly wait here. Instead, he would use the Void Effect of the stealth state, along with tenfold ti acceleration, to actively search for targets around him. Perhaps he might find the hidden attacker directly before the Other-Transformation Superpower takes effect.
Thinking of this, Su Xin turned around without any hesitation and ran back to the hotel, effortlessly passing through the tempered glass doors in his void state and entering the lobby.
Then he ca to a spot not far from the elevator.
Here, his Super Sensing Sketching could simultaneously see the situation inside the elevator and the stairs on the other side. If the enemy were to co down from upstairs, they would definitely disguise themselves to co down from here, and there was no way they could escape his sight.
After finding a good position, Su Xin rose from the ground, ascending rapidly, reaching the rooftop in less than two seconds, taking in all the situations between the stairwell and the elevator.
In a utility room not far from the elevator, Su Xin discovered a suspicious person.
However, the other person was clearly already dead, lying motionless in the corner of the utility room.
Su Xin didn't approach but observed the person closely through the super sensing sketching feature, clearly seeing the gun the other still seed to grip in their hand and a bloody hole at the temple.
Blood was still gushing out.
It was clear they had died not long ago.
"Failed the assault, committed suicide imdiately, do these guys really think they can hide their identity like this?"
Su Xin's gaze grew colder and sharper.
He also saw so ard agents searching various rooms in the building for suspicious targets. So were taking the elevator down, and others were searching floor by floor down the stairs.
But he didn't pay attention to these people; instead, he left the hotel, continuing to search for suspicious targets in nearby buildings and cars.
The focus was the business vehicles.
Having dealt with the Nirvana Association and the financial syndicate a few tis before, he knew the enemy often used business vehicles as temporary command centers during operations. Especially with tactics involving drones, the other side would certainly need to control from within a certain distance.
Staying in a business vehicle was much safer and more concealed than any fixed location, and it was also much more flexible, without the cramped space of a sedan limiting actions.
At this mont, Su Xin deeply appreciated the power of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day feature. Under tenfold ti acceleration, his speed was ten tis faster than a normal person's, nearly matching so normally moving vehicles. Combined with the Void Effect from Seamless Interaction, he could move freely, and with the large-area perception of Super Sensing Sketching, his search efficiency reached an extre.
In less than three minutes.
Su Xin indeed found a suspicious target on a street in the distance.
It was a silver-gray business vehicle, moving at a normal speed on the road, neither fast nor slow, with five differently dressed n inside, seemingly not appearing to be a cohesive team.
But their behavior was sowhat unusual. Through detailed facial observation, Su Xin found that these n were all silent, their expressions appearing quite somber, and there were several unknown electronic devices in their car, and the vehicle was moving away from the direction of the hotel.
Su Xin watched the vehicle for a while and quickly searched in other directions, finding no other suspicious objects, then returned to sit on the roof of this business vehicle.
After more than ten minutes.
The business vehicle smoothly stopped at a busy street corner, and the prepared n imdiately opened the car door as soon as it stopped, ready to disperse in silence.
Su Xin couldn't help but frown.
Through the Other-Transformation Superpower, he already knew these attackers were mbers of the Nirvana Association, but the headquarters of the Nirvana Association was deeply hidden. Knowing their identities was of no use at all because he couldn't find their lair.
Originally, he intended to follow these people, to track them and capture their superior, or preferably, directly find the headquarters of the Nirvana Association.
But now, if they really dispersed, he wouldn't just lose the Nirvana Association's headquarters, but he might even let these operatives escape.
"These guys are really cautious."
"They didn't say a word during their escape, afraid to reveal any information that could be monitored. Do they know I have a strong tracking ability? Have they guessed that I might follow this vehicle?"
"If that's the case, these people's outcos are either a dead end or they won't return to the lair."
"In any case, judging from their cautious behavior, it's practically impossible to find the hidden mastermind through these individuals."
"So, you can all just die for !"
Su Xin decisively materialized a short knife and made a throat-slashing move towards his own throat.
In this relatively busy street corner, not only were there the few individuals who had just stepped out of the business vehicle within ten ters, but there were also so innocent passersby. Yet, at this mont, Su Xin didn't care.
Life was becoming increasingly insignificant to him.
Once, he would have been reluctant to mistakenly kill innocent people, but now, in his anger, he only thought about venting his rage, not caring if it caused unintended casualties.
With several continuous slashes.
The more than twenty people within ten ters clutched their throats in terror, collapsing to the ground.
Piercing screams of panic erupted around him.
Blood quickly flowed to cover the ground.
"Since I can't find the mastermind, then, as the rulers of this land, Celestial Kingdom, you will bear my wrath!"
Su Xin's eyes remained as sharp as ever.
Killing a few small operatives participating directly in the action only slightly quelled his anger, not nearly enough to satisfy him.
