175: No matter how many people are sent, they are destined never to return.

On the battlefield, only Black Boss remained. Song Yuan stepped forward and said, "Come on, let's trade some blows."

Black Boss knew he wouldn't survive today, but as a man, he had a bloody side. He ripped off his equipment to lighten his load and threw a provocative punch at Song Yuan.

"If you're a man, fight me one-on-one with bare hands. Anyway, you people won't let me go in the end, but if I'm lucky enough to win—"

"If you win, I'll let you leave. I never go back on my word," Si Nan said as she walked over, her tone calm and steady.

Black Boss thought he had misheard. "For real?"

Si Nan looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with sincerity. "For real. If you win, it means my people are incompetent. I'll let you go, and none of them will dare say a word against it. Begin."

Although she didn't know how good Black Boss's skills were, she believed in Song Yuan's strength.

"Take a punch from me!" Black Boss took the initiative and punched while Song Yuan was off guard.

A second before the fist landed, Song Yuan dodged quickly. With just this one move, Black Boss knew he was no match for Song Yuan, because Song Yuan's speed was too fast.

In addition to the moves one practices, speed is a fatal factor in a person's strength. No matter how strong you are, if your moves can't hit the enemy, it's all in vain; it's as if you never attacked at all.

The opponent before him was exactly like that. He was truly unlucky; as expected of a rich man's territory, it was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Thus, Black Boss roared in anger: "Why are you fighting so hard? According to the information I have, Huangfu Kunkun, the owner of this villa mountain villa, wasn't here when the zombie virus broke out. Now that more than a month has passed and he still hasn't returned, he's 100% dead out there."

"You're just a bodyguard hired by Huangfu Kunkun. Why are you protecting this empty house so desperately? Or do you know Huangfu Kunkun is dead and have already pocketed this luxury mansion for yourself? You—ah!"

Song Yuan ignored him and slammed a punch into Black Boss's nose. Blood splattered instantly, cutting off Black Boss's words. Humiliated and angry, he quickly retreated. "You insidious bodyguard piece of trash! You don't hit the face! You, a man, actually dared to smash my nose? Then I'll twist your arm off!"

As soon as he got close to Song Yuan, he was kicked back. His hand was crippled when he raised it, and his leg was fractured when he lifted it. After several rounds, not only did he fail to twist Song Yuan's arm, but he was also ruthlessly overwhelmed by Song Yuan's raw power to the point of being unable to fight back.

With a final series of kicks, Song Yuan left Black Boss kneeling on the ground, only able to groan. "I... I, Black Boss, have dominated the Mercenary World for twenty years. It's impossible for me to lose to a young brat of a bodyguard like you. Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Song Yuan stepped back, revealing Si Nan behind him. "I am her follower and also a Boxing Champion. I am not the bodyguard of Huangfu Kunkun as you said."

"Her? It's not a loss to fall by your hands, but a Boxing Champion like you is actually acting as a lackey for a woman? You've disgraced all of us men." Black Boss looked at Song Yuan with contempt and Si Nan with disdain.

"Hmph, that's because you don't understand our Sister Nan. I exchanged eleven moves with you; you hit me three times, I hit you six times, and the remaining two moves missed."

"However, if Sister Nan were to step in, she would defeat you in less than three moves, and not a single move would miss. Compared to Sister Nan, I'm still far behind."

He then pointed at Luo Sen and said, "And in Brother Sen's hands, you wouldn't even last a single move."

"What?" Black Boss was instantly pale with shock. He looked at Si Nan, then at Luo Sen. Had he run into a group of monsters? Impossible!

So he burst into laughter, "I haven't lost out. I took someone's money to eliminate their troubles; it's no loss to fall here. Hahaha~"

"But do you think you've won? You haven't! Hahaha~"

"Make yourself clear." Si Nan and Luo Sen suddenly had an ominous premonition. Black Boss's sinister laughter told them this bloody plunder was not that simple.

"Hahaha—you'll find out." Black Boss continued to laugh sinisterly.

Luo Sen and Si Nan reacted quickly, abruptly looking up at the endless black sky above. High in the sky, several streaks of light suddenly tore through the night and were flying rapidly toward Yunshu Mountain Villa. The roar of engines separated from the howling of the sea of corpses, getting closer and clearer.

Si Nan's face was extremely grim as she directly ordered everyone: "Quick, everyone retreat inside the Sky Curtain!"

"Hahaha, too late! You're all going to die! From the very beginning, Lord Jue sent out two waves of people. We were just sacrifices to secure a safe place for our families. The real main force is behind us, and they are determined to successfully seize this villa mountain villa! Ahahaha~"

Squelch!

Luo Sen channeled his power and severed Black Boss's lower legs with a single blade strike, leaving him only able to kneel on the ground and watch as he sent everyone into the protection of the Sky Curtain. "You're laughing too early. No one can take this place. No matter how many people come, they will all die. It's not late at all."

After saying that, he leaped backward and landed between the running Jian Bing and Guan Xiaoning. He grabbed one in each hand and brought them inside the Sky Curtain in an instant. After three more trips, Si Nan was the only one left among those running.

When Luo Sen returned, he grabbed Si Nan around the waist and carried her onto the roof of the Sky Curtain's protective structure, just in time to dodge the bullets raining down from the attacking helicopters high above.

Then, Si Nan and Luo Sen each shouldered a Rocket Launcher and launched a fierce attack at the helicopters in the air. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Deafening explosions traveled from the sky to the ground and then in all directions.

Looking back, Black Boss, who could only kneel on the ground and wait for death, had long since stopped moving his eyes. The shrapnel from the shells that had just exploded had shattered his heart and lungs. Intense pain tore through him, as if he were undergoing ancient torture.

A fire broke out among the surrounding corpses, and he was slowly engulfed by the flames. Through the fire, he watched in astonishment as Luo Sen moved with agility, soaring into the air. Despite having the appearance of an ordinary person, he used no external force to pick up two men weighing over a hundred pounds as if they were light feathers. He came and went without a trace, and in the blink of an eye, he had saved everyone who should have been blown to bits into the safety of the umbrella.

He had never seen such miraculous power in his life. Was this man not human? Or was it the benefit this environment had brought him?

It was just as The Authorities had reported: although zombies were terrifying, they weren't entirely useless.

After turning into zombies, a substance similar to an Emerald would gradually condense in their brains. That was the entirety of a person's power before death—some of us would find opportunities because of these Emeralds, such as awakening a Supernatural Ability and gaining some kind of power beyond that of ordinary people.

He had never thought he would have such an opportunity, and even considered it nonsense. Ordinary people were just ordinary people; how could they suddenly be able to cultivate like immortals?

But the man before him was a living fact. Just because you don't believe in some things in the world doesn't mean they don't exist. To be able to see such a miraculous scene before death made this life worth it.

It wasn't unfair for their entire army to be wiped out; it's just that no matter how many people were sent, they were destined never to return, because no one could defeat an Awakened who was like an immortal.

Thud!

Black Boss took one last look at Luo Sen and collapsed onto the ground forever.
