Chapter 7

Is One-Eyed Qiang dead?

Although Qi Yuan's appearance had already made Molin speculate about One-Eyed Qiang's fate, when the news came from Qi Yuan's mouth, Molin still found it hard to believe. With One-Eyed Qiang's strength, even an ordinary superhuman would find it difficult to kill him. How did Qi Yuan manage to do it?

Not to mention One-Eyed Qiang himself, but even his three subordinates were not simple characters. They had not only shed the blood of ordinary people but also that of beasts. These ruthless individuals might die at the hands of beasts, but they would never be killed by an ordinary person who could be easily knocked out just yesterday.

Unless this person had awakened an incredibly powerful superhuman ability!

One-Eyed Qiang is dead, and Qi Yuan has returned alive!

The stark contrast filled Molin with fear.

Although the tavern prohibited fighting, Molin still felt the threat of death. He did not try to explain; Qi Yuan's appearance clearly was not to listen to his explanations.

A person who was knocked out and sold for ten yuan suddenly awakened powerful strength. The fear of what he might do made Molin have the impulse to shoot himself!

Gun!

Yes, I still have a gun!

Molin, as if grasping a lifeline, quietly reached behind him and gripped the handgun hidden at his waist, which still had two bullets!

The tavern did not allow the use of guns, nor did it allow killing. Violators would be sent to the mine to dig, which was dangerous, but compared to dying at Qi Yuan's hands, Molin would rather go to the mine!

Several nearby hunters saw Molin's small movements, their faces changed slightly, and they simultaneously covered their vital points. Being killed by a stray bullet in the tavern was the most foolish way to die.

"Revenge should be fatal in one strike. This young man doesn't even know the other has a gun; he's probably in for a bad time!" someone whispered.

"Bad time?" A person next to him sneered, "He's confident. Do you think he's afraid of guns, or that old, useless handgun that can't even kill a black-toothed rat?"

"Can this young man block bullets?" someone asked in surprise.

A first-stage superhuman, although already possessing greater strength than ordinary people, could still be fatally wounded by ordinary firearms. The number of first-stage superhumans killed by ordinary firearms was not less than those killed by beasts.

A wild hunter with a scar on his face secretly glanced at Qi Yuan, finding that the other had not noticed him, took a sip of strong liquor, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know if he can block bullets, but I can be sure that a wild hunter who can hunt two rotten wolves alone would never make such a foolish mistake."

"Hunt two rotten wolves alone!"

The surrounding tavern patrons collectively drew in a cold breath.

Rotten wolves, these dangerous beasts, had long become the dividing line for high-level combatants in Blackstone Town. They not only had tough fur and sharp claws but also possessed the speed and strength of a first-stage superhuman!

A strong person who could hunt rotten wolves alone, whether a wild hunter or a base warrior, was a revered existence, indicating multiple powerful abilities or powerful mechanical armaments.

Such a person hunting around Blackstone Town was enough to handle most dangers. If they were willing to join Chief Situ or Xu Kui, who was recently recruiting, they could easily receive a very generous reward!

And hunting two rotten wolves alone, among the thousands of people in Blackstone Town, those who could return unscathed would not exceed the number of fingers on two hands.

The surrounding tavern patrons looked at Qi Yuan with shock, as strong people should be respected wherever they are.

As for Molin, the looks he received were filled with ridicule and pity. To use an old, useless handgun that even wild hunters disdain to face a strong person who could hunt two rotten wolves alone, it would be better to shoot himself, at least to avoid more suffering.

The arrival of the new era made ordinary people's lives stronger than in the old era, but the biggest downside was that the death process for some unlucky individuals became less swift. In the hands of certain superhumans, a person's death could be incredibly prolonged!

The process of death was even more unbearable than the result of death.

Molin's entire attention was focused on Qi Yuan, not noticing the changes in the other patrons' gazes. He swallowed hard and said in a dry voice:

"The last incident was my mistake. As long as you spare my life, I can do anything for you, even be a dog, I'm willing!"

Under the threat of death, Molin had completely abandoned his dignity. Being a dog was better than dying.

Qi Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Be my dog? You're not worthy."

Molin's face immediately turned red, his expression changing several times. Realizing he had no way out, he finally steeled his heart and pulled out the handgun hidden at his waist.

"It's you who forced me!" Molin roared, pulling the trigger repeatedly.

Bang! Bang!

Molin fired the two remaining bullets in the magazine without hesitation, not caring if he might hit others.

The moment the gunshots rang out, several nearby wild hunters tensed up. Although this handgun's power was not enough to kill them, if it hit a vital point, it would still be troublesome.

Facing the frenzied Molin, Qi Yuan remained seated, unmoving, his expression unchanged.

After being hit in the forehead by One-Eyed Qiang's AK and being perfectly defended by his steel defense, Qi Yuan had already overcome his fear of bullets. This old handgun was just a toy to him!

Molin's two frenzied close-range shots hit Qi Yuan, one in the chest and the other in the throat.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of the bullets hitting was not the dull thud of flesh but the clear, metallic clang of metal.

Seeing Qi Yuan, unharmed, calmly remove the deformed bullets from his body and place them on the table, leaving only two faint red marks, Molin became even more desperate.

He had indeed awakened a superhuman ability!

Seeing this unbelievable scene, the surrounding tavern patrons widened their eyes.

"The bullets hit him head-on but didn't even break his skin!"

"What ability is this? First-stage enhanced defense doesn't seem to be this strong!"

"Is this second-stage enhanced defense?"

"Such defense, no wonder he can kill two rotten wolves alone!"

"Probably no one in Blackstone Town can break his defense!"

...

Amidst the murmurs, Molin suddenly collapsed, even a gun couldn't kill Qi Yuan, he must be a demon!

The bartender reappeared beside Molin, his right hand emitting a cold aura, lifting Molin from the ground while saying:

"Guns are not allowed in the tavern, nor is killing. This is a rule set by Chief Situ. Those who violate the rules will be punished!"

"If you don't mind, I can handle him!"

Qi Yuan, though harboring the intent to kill Molin, knew the tavern was Situ's territory. Killing here was clearly not a good choice. Just as he was about to nod, Molin, finding a savior, shouted loudly:

"Yes, killing is not allowed in the tavern, you can't kill me! I violated Chief Situ's rules, I'm willing to accept the punishment, I'm willing to go to the mine!"

Mining?

The punishment for killing in the tavern is to go to the mine?

Qi Yuan looked at Molin with a strange expression.

I was about to let you go, but you suddenly tell me that killing can get you into the mine. Are you eager to die?
