1078: Chapter 164: Deadlock 1078: Chapter 164: Deadlock While Lu Ping’an was still fiercely battling soone, a lonely old man on a small boat at sea finally found the person he had been searching for.
“Grandpa, Grandpa!”
The “stranded” Qian Xiaomu exclaid with a face full of joy.
Being rescued was already fortunate, but it was even more joyous when the rescuer was a family mber.
The little one climbed onto the boat in just two or three moves, then jumped straight into Grandpa’s arms.
Qian Zhujin, who was still sowhat on guard, sighed as he looked at the little one.
He carefully helped his granddaughter up and wiped her clean…
“Grandpa, weren’t you dead?
How did you co back to life?”
The little one’s first question caught Old Qian off guard.
“Nonsense!
Did Lu Ping’an fill your head with nonsense?
I, I…
I’m still alive and kicking!”
Saying so, the old man even flexed his muscles, pretending everything was normal.
“That’s great…..
It wasn’t Big Brother who said that, but the other .”
“The other ….”
At this mont, Old Qian fell silent.
Although he had long known that his adopted granddaughter had so issues, and he had sought information from Lu before eting her and learned about so background, he was still at a loss when faced with it.
He had only adopted an orphan girl, so how did she end up being a troubled Strongman, and a cultist at Rule-level….
“….Miss Fei’er, may I have a mont with you?”
Qian Xiaomu was silent for a mont, then shook her head.
“The other says no.
She has limited ‘ti’ now, must guard against potential assassins, so she can’t waste it.”
“Waste it….”
This left Old Qian even more confused.
Was talking to him directly a waste?!
But looking at his granddaughter, who was gleefully facing him, even if he wanted to get angry, he didn’t know at whom.
He also knew that, in the eyes of Miss Fei’er, he probably didn’t matter much as a Weaker, but his granddaughter….
“Not at all.”
Suddenly, Qian Xiaomu spoke.
“Not only is Grandpa my grandfather, but he is also the other ’s grandfather.
We are one!
Since Grandpa is here, we need to conserve strength to protect Grandpa and ourselves even more.”
With a sweet smile, the little granddaughter’s words instantly brought a smile to Grandpa’s face.
What defense, what anticipated interrogation, what scripted dialogue – Old Qian forgot them all instantly.
But so things truly can’t be forgotten.
“Xiao Mu…
that brat, that no-good Big Brother, he told to give you a ssage.”

Above the arena, the death battle between Lu Ping’an and the assassins continued.
He was always on the move at high speed, ensuring that those “rabbits” couldn’t catch up with him.
Within his eyes, there were always a dozen “lines” entangled…
Utilizing the dual acceleration of Tiger Fury, Lu Ping’an managed to handle the extre chaos and Disorder.
Speed, sheer speed.
Once these Magic Bullets reached a certain velocity, this simple attack thod was enough to hunt down most life forms.
And what’s most frustrating is that every life-bearing Magic Bullet has different characteristics: so are Piercing, so cause Explosion, so are invisible…
So, the tactics you need to deal with them are also different.
At this ti, Lu Ping’an began to miss his Heavy Armor, but now, he had already tried it, and those things could really pierce through his heart.
“At most three minutes, at the shortest one minute, starting from the eightieth second, it was clear they were slowing down….”
Obviously, such abilities can’t be used without limits, he had to endure trendous consumption every mont.
The launched Magic Bullets, likely without complete power engines, were constantly depleting their “kinetic energy,” so they had to be “recharged” periodically.
Lu Ping’an, whose eyes could make out the trajectories that were invisible to others, not only observed them clearly but also understood their thrusting, return thods, and procedure.
He saw that those Magic Bullets whose “power” was more than half spent would return to the cowboy’s hands through underground and invisibility and be launched again seconds later.
Lu Ping’an’s white pupils also made the cowboy’s scalp tingle with numbness.
As soon as anything ca close, he would fire rapidly, pushing back his opponents with outstanding efficacy.
“Tsk, this power…
The safe distance is about six ters, right?”
What made Lu Ping’an feel helpless was that once he got too close to Loter, the power of his Magic Bullets beca outrageously exaggerated.
He had thought that his own Magical Vine Tendrils would be more than sufficient, but faced with a Magic Bullet explosion at around six ters, they too were instantly pierced.
The sheer speed and force of the bullets brought about a pure strength and destructive power that was indeed quite frustrating to deal with.
Perhaps Loter had only this one move, but for most opponents, it was already unbeatable.
Lu Ping’an was well aware of their trajectory, knew their weaknesses…
but once he got within range, being pierced was the outco, and it was not sothing he could simply tough out.
For a ti, both sides, who were accustod to quick battles, were forcibly drawn into a war of attrition.
And such a battle seed unacceptable to both parties.
Loter’s Eagle-eye was constantly scanning, trying to find Lu Ping’an’s weak spot…
His burden was too heavy from using his abilities at a high frequency over an extended period.
Lu Ping’an’s pupils were filled with blood silk.
The strain of long observation wasn’t significant, but constantly engaging Life Overload for acceleration had taken a toll, especially now that he had no Magic Pet, high-level pollutants, or soone to “share damage” with him—the damage to himself was not insignificant either.
Nevertheless, neither side could stop.
Should Loter slow down even slightly, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t hesitate to close the distance and strangle him.
And if Lu Ping’an stopped or his attention faltered, he too would be instantly turned into a hornet’s nest.
“…I’m actually missing Heavy Armor now.”
For the first ti, Lu Ping’an, who used to be a Heavy Equipnt unit, opted to take the initiative and change tactics.
He wagered,
“…Extinguish Void.”
A sudden shout and the swing of a Battle Axe attracted the attention of the battlefield and the audience.
Was it that move again?
The one that tears through space with its supre power?!
But this ti, the expected sound of shattering didn’t erupt.
Was this a strategy or rely a mishap in using his ability?
In such a high-pressure duel, an error seed inevitable.
But for Lu Ping’an, he’d already obtained everything he needed.
He stopped, readying his major offensive…
Then, all the Magic Bullets, by basic logical deduction, would try to pierce through him!
“No, wrong!
Co back!” In an instant, Loter, rich in combat experience, realized sothing was amiss.
But by then, it was too late.
Another drawback of high-speed automatic attacks was the difficulty in halting them on ti.
Lu Ping’an spread his arms, welcoming the onslaught of the bullet storm.
“Divine Grace, Activate Nine Injury Fist!”
His surroundings beca shrouded in Silver’s glow, appearing sacred and inviolable…
and then, he was pierced through in an instant!
“Aaahhhhh!”
But the one who scread out in agony, coughing up blood, was his opponent, Loter, who had always maintained the initiative and a safe distance.
[Nine Injury Fist (Upper Silver Grace Blessing): A curiously nad and even more curious effect that inflicts shared damage on both foe and user.]
[Effect of use: Each ti the user suffers an attack of lethal level, ‘damage sharing’ will damage the attacker’s organs—one organ with each hit.]
A very simple and brutal trait that appears to be a losing trade, as one would need to suffer potentially fatal damage just to harm one organ of the opponent.
But in a duel between high-level professionals, the effect was shockingly effective.
Especially since this was the Divine Blessing of Domineering Three Faces, and within his own Secret Realm, its effect was naturally extraordinarily powerful.
“Aaahhhhh!”
Loter spewed blood, not even understanding what had happened.
In that mont, at least eleven Magic Bullets struck Lu Ping’an…
which also ant that Loter had lost nearly all his organs!
He shakily reached for his belt, trying to find a life-saving Magic Potion.
“Bang!” A bloody hole appeared in his chest.
But Lu Ping’an, making the gesture of shooting and throwing out a lethal Magic Bullet, had completed the final harvest.
