The two of them had created a bloody road from the Hundred Depths. It was a literal road paved with blood. In addition to the blood of countless beasts, there was their blood! Chen Mu had forgotten the number of times he was injured and sprinkled with blood.

With the continuous fighting and killing, the two honed themselves into real killing machines. No hesitation and nonsense. As soon as they decided to fight, they would enter battle mode. Cold precision and high concentration for killing the enemy as soon as possible!

Feeling the unique threaded pattern of the White Midges Bone in the palm of his hands, Chen Mu’s elbow bent outwards, and his body stretched back like a bow. “Ha!”

The robbers were horrified to find that Chen Mu’s arm had suddenly disappeared!

Poof! Puff! Poof! In the air, flowers of blood sprinkled in a series like lit firecrackers! The series of blood flowers blasted out of thin air, forming a perfect line. Whoosh! After half a second, a weird whistling sound occurred like a monster biting everyone’s eardrums. Eight people who were in a straight line had each received a wound the size of a bowl. Their faces were stiff. They had not understood what had happened yet!

Poof! Puff! Poof! Poof! Puff! Poof! In less than a second, Chen Mu threw all the White Midges Bone! The sound was so condensed that is sounded like it was only a poof, and then five straight rows of blood burst out at the same time. The White Midges Bone had indeed lived up to its fierce reputation. After it left the palm of Chen Mu, the bone spun rapidly in a natural spiral pattern! The energy contained in the bone had also been stimulated, and its speed had increased dramatically! The rapid rotation ensured its stability with the amazing speed guaranteed its impact. The combination of the two resulted in an unparalleled penetration force. Five White Midges Bones easily penetrated the bandits and blood spurted everywhere the Bones passed.

These two years of fighting had taught Chen Mu a fundamental principle: no mercy for any enemy. Killing the enemy at the fastest speed was always the safest way. He did not hold back his power against the bandits, for, in his eyes, they were beasts! His pupils were indifferent and devoid of feeling. Chen Mu, who survived countless killings and battles, now possessed not only formidable fighting skills but also an unbeatable will to fight.

Perceiving a movement, the 18 Blood Eyed Darts on his arm become 18 beams of lights that shot at the bandits. His world of perception is always in State Zero. In these two years, State Zero had been the most important weapon. Now he could easily keep his mind in State Zero. Not only that, but the state is very different now. Before, the thin lines in the State Zero were constantly changing. But now in State Zero, they’re always constant.

The transformation of State Zero happened in the middle of a perilous battle. He almost died at the mouth of an unknown beast, and while he hung by a thread between life and death, his State Zero had mutated. He did not know whether this change was the evolution of the State Zero in other directions or a breakthrough in the State Zero itself.

There is a lot of differences between the State Zero after the change and the previous one. The old State Zero improved his five senses, sort of like his sixth sense. However, after the transformation of State Zero, it seemed to calculate all the factors together and obtain the best result. This feeling became stronger with each fight. Many times, Chen Mu felt like a computer. However, it turned out that the modified State Zero was safer and sharper! The constant fighting also made him more and more adept at the new State Zero. In every battle, he would learn about further details in the process, as he made adjustments and modifications, continually perfecting the new State Zero.

Sometimes he wondered if his form of State Zero could still be called State Zero. But he soon put the question aside since it was effective in battle. Challenging Tang Hanpei was a distant objective. Survival was his only goal at that time. The new State Zero completed the analysis of the target in a few seconds. The five White Midges Bones perfectly achieved the expected objective.

The 18 Blood Eyed Darts were no less impressive, with the 18 blood flowers it created. Compared with the exploding blood flowers from the Darts, the White Midges Bones was less visually impactful. If 18 blood flowers all bloomed at the same place — the throat, it would provoke the most instinctual fears that human beings have.

The Blood Eyed Dart, which required a will to control, was a bit like an improved card. For the flexsters of the House of Hundred Depths, it was difficult for them to control the darts. But for Chen Mu, who was a grade seven in perception, it was simple as eating and drinking. In the past two years, his perception had also become stronger.

When he first discovered the Blood Eyed Darts, Chen Mu was amazed at the magic of nature. In principle, the darts were like a card. But in the Federation, it was impossible to make such a delicate card in a short time. The power of the Blood Eyed Darts was as powerful as the powerful cards in the hands of the artisans!

But, the darts were far rarer than the powerful cards. Chen Mu waddled in the Realms of the Hundred Depth for two years, and only collected 18 of them. The 18 Blood Eyed Darts, like 18 poisonous snakes, flew between the bandits. Wherever they passed, a group of beautiful blood flowers bloomed in the air.

There was nothing peculiar about the Demonic Woman’s Painted Graphistemma, but the weapons the robbers wielded were as flimsy as papier-mache in front of it. Chen Mu knew clearly that the seemingly gently fluttering vine could land hefty blows. The Painted Graphistemma was soft, hard, heavy, and sharp at the same time. The changes between the four characteristics need to be controlled by perception. And Zara’s incredible skills controlled the vine as if performing a simple magic trick.

To increase its characteristics, Chen Mu also specially enhanced this weapon for Zara. The Painted Graphistemma which had been enhanced by Chen Mu was sneakier and more powerful. The bandits were all stunned.

70 or 80 people of their members had fallen. Internal organs leaked out of the bowl-sized wounds left by the Bone. Even these battle-hardened bandits could feel some heaving in their chests! The Blood Eyed Darts’s cut was less shocking but enough to chill a person’s heart. And the Painted Graphistemma was like a heavy hammer, rendering all resistance futile before it. It was like a terrible soft worm, convolutedly and dexterously drilling into the human body, taking away the enemy’s life.

The violent attacks were suffocating! This magnitude of attack was launched by just two people! The leader of Nine-tails Bandits was stunned and regretful. How could he be so blinded by the wealth that he was tempted into fighting these two monsters! But the situation was critical, and it was too late to surrender. He shouted. “Get close to him and kill him!”

The people, trembling with fear, suddenly understood! They’re both long-range attackers! As long as they get closer, the two people would be doomed! The bandit flexsters growled to give themselves courage and rushed towards Chen Mu and Zara.

The strong smell of blood stirred up the bandits, who rushed toward Chen Mu and Zara with abandon! They resembled a turbulent tide. The Blood Eyed Darts were like 18 dancing swallows, and blood flowers would burst all over. But that did not prevent the bandits’ rush toward the two people before them.

Below the ugly masked face, Chen Mu’s eyes were like a dark sea. Taking the Golden Ring Woodspear from the left hand and he pressed the spear tip down. The Golden Ring Woodspear’s unique pattern was delicate and neat, it looked elegant and noble with its blue radiant tip that looked like a sapphire. The luster and color of the spear itself were not blue. But Chen Mu’s treatment with a blue crystal formed the unique blue glow.

The bandits who came near were all ferocious in appearance, showing bloodlust and cruelty. Any timid soul would be scared to death. Chen Mu still did not move, and the hands holding the spear did not tremble. He slightly squatted, and suddenly exerted a force on his foot, and his person suddenly disappeared! At about the same time, he appeared out of nowhere among the bandits.

At first, the leader of the bandits was shocked, but he then burst into joy, shouting. “Brothers! Kill him, and it’s all ours!” Since time immemorial, wealth has been fascinating. After his words sounded, the bandits seemed to be hit by a stimulant, all shouting and rushed to attack Chen Mu.

Chen Mu’s eyes were static. He had been in countless battles over the past two years, and the current situation would not move his heart. The wrist turned sharply, and the body of the spear drew a gentle stroke.

Psst! A blue arc of light appeared in the air stunningly! “Ah!” Three shrill screams halted the movements of the excited bandits. Three robbers were cut in half by this arc of light. Blood and all kinds of internal organs were scattered all over the floor. But they were still alive: the three people screamed and struggled with their upper bodies. It was like a horror film, even for the cruelest bandits.

The few people closest to Chen Mu subconsciously stepped back. A blue arc of light like a moon arc hanging in the night, stunningly beautiful, appeared all of a sudden!
