Super Fusion

Chapter 17: Is this no longer Earth?

"What's going on?"

The sudden change left Xu Yu completely bewildered. Just as a thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt one of the three jade pendants he had fused with spiritual energy

suddenly emit a layer of violent, warm current, instantly flowing through his entire body and suppressing all his palpitations.

At the same time, an invisible and intangible yet clearly perceptible flow of energy surged from the jade pendant, forming a protective shield within a centimeter of his body.

"Whoosh~"

The transparent shield had barely appeared when an extremely powerful force protruded directly from behind Xu Yu's shoulder, plunging into the energy shield with a "poof."

The instantaneous impact made Xu Yu's body tremble violently. Then, the energy flow above his shoulder, where the shield had been impacted, surged wildly, intercepting the protruding object.

Xu Yu could clearly feel the energy flow rapidly diminishing under the impact of the object; in a short instant, his shield had weakened by almost half.

However, this interception also severely suppressed the object. When it slid from near Xu Yu's cheek to the corner of his eye, he was startled again, for he finally saw what it was: a bullet!

However, at this moment, as the bullet pierced through the mere centimeters of the airflow shield, its speed had already decreased to a terrifying degree, as if it had almost come to a standstill.

In extreme shock, Xu Yu almost instinctively unleashed astonishing agility in his right arm, like a swimming dragon, and with a snap, spread two fingers and pinched the bullet that had stopped, almost touching the corner of his eye.

As soon as he actually pinched the bullet, the airflow shield emanating from the jade pendant suddenly loosened and dissipated.

Xu Yu himself clearly felt that one of the three jade pendants had completely shriveled up, losing all its vitality and warmth.

However, the change in the jade pendant was secondary. Xu Yu was simply staring blankly at the bullet in his hand. "A bullet?!"

His shock was far less than the man's. After all, the extreme sense of danger was directed at him, and his fear was far greater than Xu Yu's. It's just that he hadn't had time to react.

After a slight pause, the man was about to turn aside and look more closely in Xu Yu's direction. But when he glanced at Xu Yu's right hand, held out to his left cheek as if pinching a chess piece, and saw the bullet, the man's already extremely shocked face turned completely pale. He

stared intently at Xu Yu with her outstretched right hand, as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world, completely frozen in place.

The little girl who was falling also fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a loud cry.

At the same time, dozens of meters behind the two, a man dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses, also holding a silenced pistol wrapped in a newspaper, suddenly gasped.

"Damn it! How is this possible?!"

he exclaimed, his slightly thin body freezing in place.

Good heavens, what was he seeing? A hand holding a bullet? That was a bullet fired from a gun!

His brain short-circuited, and his previously stiff eyes suddenly moved, as his slightly dazed eyes clearly caught sight of the same frozen target.

"A good opportunity!"

Even though he couldn't accept what he had just witnessed and was still somewhat dazed, his assassin's instincts gave him a perfect opportunity to assassinate. In an instant, he pulled the trigger again.

Just as the figure behind pulled the trigger again, Xu Yu and the middle-aged man, who were completely stunned on the street ahead, also trembled simultaneously, their bodies stiffening instantly.

The energy that had vanished from Xu Yu's body surged forth again from the second jade pendant, almost in the same manner as before. A tremendous impact tore through a layer of energy behind Xu Yu's left cheek, propelling it forward.

But in less than a second, the bullet's terrifying speed suddenly stopped, and Xu Yu's right hand, which had been hovering there, flicked lightly, his ring and middle fingers snapping shut on the whistling bullet. At first

glance, it seemed as if the bullet had come directly from behind, deliberately trying to stop between Xu Yu's fingers.

But heaven knows, that was a bullet that had already left the barrel!

Because Xu Yu's right hand was already frozen in place, blocking the impact of the airflow, what the middle-aged man in front of him saw was that, as a deadly fear welled up in his heart, the young man in front of him simply flicked his finger and caught the new bullet again.

Moreover, the speed of the other's finger flick was almost lightning fast!

This...

completely dumbfounded the middle-aged man.

He just stared at Xu Yu's slender, fair right hand, his whole body trembling slightly.

As for Xu Yu, although he was already incredibly shocked, another feeling of rage also rose in his heart: murder!

Someone wanted to kill him!

He turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, staring intently in the direction he sensed.

He immediately saw the sunglasses-wearing man holding a silenced pistol. "

My God! He caught it again?! Is this guy human or a ghost?!"

Just as Xu Yu turned around, the stiff figure behind him suddenly let out a sharp scream, then his body trembled, and a strange odor suddenly surged from his lower body.

Even as an assassin, he had never encountered anything so terrifying—catching a bullet with his bare hands? And it looked so natural and effortless?

Was this no longer Earth?! Where did this demon come from?!

In boundless terror, the man saw the demon turn around and look at him. In that instant, the endless ferocity in the other's eyes made him tremble again. Then, he let out a scream, stupidly clutching the gun covered in paper, and fled in a panic.

Actually, if Xu Yu were standing in front of that person, to others, his fierce gaze might not have been so intimidating, since his strength wasn't particularly great at the moment.

But heaven knows, as he watched helplessly as the handsome man held the two bullets he had fired between his fingers like candy, the man was already utterly terrified. He no longer had the energy to carefully sense the killing intent in the other man's eyes.

He was completely dumbfounded, after all, he was just an assassin, not a religious scholar.

Faced with such a bizarre and illogical situation—and not just once, but twice in a row, with the other party seemingly recognizing him and turning to glare at him menacingly—even someone with a strong mental fortitude would be utterly terrified and break down.
