Chapter 47: Battling Blue Dragon

In the morning, Lin Yun had just woken up when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Opening the chipped metal door, he saw a middle-aged woman clad in a simple patchwork clothing. She was frowning heavily, her forehead glistening with sweat.

“Are you Mr. Mu Mu?” the middle-aged woman asked anxiously.

“Yes, you are?”

The woman suddenly collapsed onto the ground before Lin Yun. With teary eyes, she shrieked. “Mr. Mu Mu, please save Ma Li!”

“What happened? Ma Li is in danger?” Lin Yun hastily inquired in alarm.

“Yes, this morning, Ma Li and I headed out to sell the garbage. Skinny Monkey suddenly appeared with other members of the Blue Dragon Gang and took Ma Li away. They said that if we don’t save her before 12 at noon, we will be collecting her corpse. My poor Ma Li, having lost her parents at a young age and having to encounter such a misfortune…” She became choked as she spoke and began to bawl.

Lin Yun hastily comforted her. “Don’t worry, I will save Ma Li. First, tell me, where is the Blue Dragon Gang at?”

“The Blue Dragon Gang is at…”

Lin Yun compared the middle-aged woman’s narrative with the map in his mind. He discovered that the Blue Dragon Gang was located at the original city hall building. It seemed that the Blue Dragon Gang became the Juggernaut of this city when it became desolate.

According to the woman, the head of the Blue Dragon Gang was called Blue Dragon, who was rumored to be a star pirate. The equipment Blue Dragon Gang wore was of very high-quality. They obtained numerous normal machinery and a pulse gun from the black market. The difficulty would be great if he was to face the gang head-on. However, the original city hall building was very sturdy. There was only one entrance in the building, and the sewer was very narrow and could not fit anyone. No one could enter the building without forcibly making their way inside.

Lin Yun fell into deep contemplation. An idea suddenly formed in his head when his gaze landed on a tattered windbreaker lying beside the trash can.

Following the map in his memory, he soon arrived at where the Blue Dragon Gang was located.

“Punk, this is the Blue Dragon Gang’s territory. Who are you looking for?” The few brawny men standing at the entrance demanded, pointing their guns at Lin Yun.

“I’m Mu Mu. I came here to find your head, Blue Dragon,” calmly replied Lin Yun, wrapped in a big windbreaker.

One of the men took out a walkie-talkie and said lowly, “The target has appeared and wants to meet with Boss.”

Sensing something amiss, Lin Yun activated the Stacking Art.

Sensory Multiplied!

His senses immediately increased significantly, so he was able to easily hear the reply coming from the walkie-talkie. “Bring him in. Boss wants to meet him. Remember to search his body, don’t let him bring any weapons in.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yun took off his windbreaker, revealing the thin shirt he was wearing inside. With a frosty tone, he said, “Need to check the body? Hurry, then.”

“Hmph. I don’t think you will own any, punk.” That man snorted after carefully checking Lin Yun’s pockets.

“Follow me. Don’t make any wrong moves, bullets know no mercy.” The man turned and walked toward the building, with Lin Yun following behind. Two brawny men, armed with weapons as well, followed behind Lin Yun. Their eyes were sharp and cautious, the mouth of the gun barrel pointing at Lin Yun’s back.

Lin Yun slowly put on the windbreaker as he entered the building. The building, which once was a city hall, looked extremely rundown after the gang took over. Graffiti covered the walls, and garbage littered the floor everywhere. Many people, either lying or sitting on the ground, looked at Lin Yun with cold and unfriendly gazes.

Lin Yun wore a calm expression as he entered an elevator along with the man, before arriving at a spacious room. Its cleanness drew a huge comparison to the environment in the rest of the building. Ma Li’s hands were tied as she lied in the center of the room. When she spotted Lin Yun’s arrival, she hastily screamed, “Leave, Mr. Mu Mu! Their target is you!”

“Hahaha. I would never have expected that the human criminal Lin Yun would have fallen in love with a Demon Race garbage girl. Is your perception of beauty unique, or do the Humans have no taste?”

The middle-aged man before Lin Yun laughed in a hoarse voice. He was topless, and numerous scars could be seen covering the blue dragon tattoo on his chest. With blue hair and fierce eyes, he also carried a pulse gun.

The man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. “Lord Song Junming just sent out a reward for Human Lin Yun, an escapee from the Blue Ocean Prison with Level 4 Physical Strength and Level 3 Spirit. If the corpse is brought back, the killers will be rewarded the City Lord position of a Level 3 city. If caught alive, the captors will be rewarded the City Lord position of a Level 2 city. Low risk with high rewards—you’re like a big present sent to me.”

Lin Yun shuddered upon hearing that. So Song Junming had already discovered that he had escaped the Blue Ocean Prison and offered a City Lord position as the reward for capturing him. Lin Yun’s road to escape the Blue Ocean Planet would certainly be ridden with obstacles.

Blue Dragon slowly lifted the pulse gun in his hand and aimed at him. “The aim is to capture you alive. The fact that you are able to escape from the Blue Ocean Prison implies that you are quite capable. Then, I will cripple your limbs, rendering you useless to do anything else.”

Lin Yun felt a grave sense of danger. This pulse gun would definitely cause him great harm. Hence, he swiftly opened the windbreaker and hollered. “Shoot, and both of us will die together!”

The inside of Lin Yun’s windbreaker was covered with strange metal pipes.

“Wex Pipes?” Blue Dragon murmured with uncertainty when he spotted them. The few brawny men aiming their guns at Lin Yun subconsciously took a few steps back.

“That’s right, these are the Wex Pipes. Unexpectedly, you know of them!” Lin Yun snorted coldly, his expression calm.

Blue Dragon raised an eyebrow and yelled, “How could a human criminal like you obtain the Wex Pipes? Don’t pull a trick on us. These pipes are fake!”

“Fake? Have a taste of their power, then!” Lin Yun took out a pipe from the windbreaker all of a sudden and threw it at Blue Dragon. At the same time, he charged towards the man.

How fast was Lin Yun’s speed? Before the brawny men behind him could react, Lin Yun had already arrived before Blue Dragon.

Blue Dragon subconsciously lowered his head, with the intention of flattening himself onto the ground and evade the “Wex Pipe”. Yet, at this time, Lin Yun’s fist appeared in front of his face.

“Bang!”

This punch landed squarely on Blue Dragon’s face. This sneak attack failed to delight Lin Yun, however. Instead, he became wary. Blue Dragon’s face was like a piece of iron, numbing Lin Yun’s right hand.

Oh no!

Lin Yun knew that he was in trouble the moment his fist landed on Blue Dragon. Before he could retract his right hand, Blue Dragon caught hold of it. Lin Yun couldn’t escape from the man’s grasp no matter how hard he tried.

Blue Dragon’s Physical Strength was at least Level 6!

“Hahaha!” Blue Dragon grinned and started crackling madly.

“Your tricks are not bad, punk. However, your life is in my hands since you don’t actually have any Wex Pipes. You won’t be able to evade a bullet with your Level 4 body. My Physical Strength is at Level 6, able to block bullets. Your punch is nothing to me.”

When Blue Dragon laughed mockingly, his subordinates followed suit.

“Boss is the best! All hail the Boss!”

“When Boss was a star pirate, you weren’t even born yet!”

“You’re seeking death by playing tricks with Boss!”

Blue Dragon looked at Lin Yun in disdain and said coolly, “Then, I will grind your bones into powder. Starting from your right fist!”

Blue Dragon’s hand emitted a massive force, as though it could crush Lin Yun’s right fist at any moment.

Hmph!

When Blue Dragon and his subordinates let their guard down, Lin Yun grunted coldly and activated the Stacking Art.

Stacking Art, Spiritual Attack!

A strange current swiftly flowed out from Lin Yun’s brain, spreading across his entire body. He could clearly sense that his Spiritual Attack was boosted. Without any hesitation, Lin Yun stared into Blue Dragon’s eyes.

Spiritual Shock!

After attaining Level 4 Spiritual Strength, Lin Yun had started to gain a rudimentary understanding and control over the method to execute Spiritual Shock. Gathering all his Spirit and transforming it into a powerful Spiritual Strength, he attacked Blue Dragon’s Spirit and consciousness.

Under the effect of the Stacking Art, Lin Yun’s Spiritual Attack attribute tripled to 78 points. That was already a Level 5 Spiritual Strength! Anyone who suffered from such an attack, even if the person was a peak Level 5 Spiritual Master, would suffer a loss if they were not careful.

The unprepared Blue Dragon was quickly frozen. The ripples in his eyes showed that he appeared to be using his Spirit to oppose Lin Yun’s Spiritual Shock.

A great opportunity! Lin Yun swiftly extracted his right hand and stole Blue Dragon’s pulse gun. Then, he turned and rolled on the floor, pressing the pulse gun’s trigger.

“Boing, boing, boing!”

The shooting of the pulse gun released the faint sound of pressure popping. The few shots killed Blue Dragon’s subordinates.

Even right before they died, these subordinates could not understand why their boss suddenly stopped moving when he clearly announced that he was going to crush Lin Yun’s hand.

Lin Yun aimed at Blue Dragon’s chest and fired.

“Boing!”

Blue Dragon suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, Lin Yun felt an intense pain coming from his abdomen as if a huge truck had collided into him. He flew backward, the pulse gun he was holding falling onto the floor as well.

When he lifted his head, he saw Blue Dragon standing before him. The man’s right shoulder blade had been crushed into pieces, blood gushing out from the wound created by his missing arm. His eyes were burning ferociously like he wanted to pulverize Lin Yun.

Blue Dragon had managed to swiftly resolve that Spiritual Shock. Could it be that his Spiritual Strength had reached Level 6?

Lin Yun struggled to stand up and happened to see a certificate on the wall behind Blue Dragon. The military, righteous style of the certificate drew a stark contrast to the state of the entire city hall building. The words “Reserve Mecha Warrior” were written on it.

Reserve mecha warriors were a reserve team of mecha warriors. They would become an official mecha warrior the moment they fulfilled the criteria of the Mecha Warrior Assessment. All reserve mecha warriors were beings with Physical and Spiritual Strength above Level 6.

In other words, Blue Dragon almost became a mecha warrior.

As he thought of that, Lin Yun clenched his fist tightly and grew even more cautious.
