"Come on, continue, Black Scorpion. If your skills are only this good, then I'm really disappointed," Mo Ming said with a hint of mockery, waving his hand at Black Scorpion in a clear provocation.
"Don't get too cocky. That was just me being careless. This time, I will make sure to cripple you and take you back!" Black Scorpion shot forward again towards Mo Ming. This time, his attack was still fierce but much steadier, lacking the previous lightheartedness.
After Black Scorpion was pushed back by Mo Ming, Jun Qianqian had just relaxed her nerves when she suddenly tensed up again, exclaiming, "Bastard Mo Ming, you have to be careful! Don't be so careless!"
"I know!"
Mo Ming replied lazily. Facing Black Scorpion's relentless barrage of attacks, he dodged with an air of ease, and for those he couldn't avoid, he countered with his own strikes.
"Hmph, no wonder you're so arrogant; you do have some skill. Shura, you remind me of someone I know very well," Black Scorpion said seriously. "He is also called Shura."
This statement was a test. As Black Scorpion spoke, he fixed his gaze intently on Mo Ming's eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of any change in expression. Unfortunately for him, Mo Ming showed no signs of shock and maintained a smile.
"Is that so?" Mo Ming dodged a punch from Black Scorpion and quickly kicked him back, revealing a smirk as he said, "Is that all you've got?"
"Haha... Shura Boss is mighty!" The brothers of the Dragon Soul Gang cheered loudly. "Give him a good beating and show him what you're made of! We all support you, Shura Boss!"
The soldiers of the Blood Wolf Special Forces were filled with shock and anger at this moment. Black Scorpion was their pride; now he had been struck by the leader of a dark force, which naturally infuriated them.
However, they did not doubt Black Scorpion's strength or think he was merely riding on reputation. In their hearts, Black Scorpion was the target they aspired to chase for their entire lives. The earlier incident was simply due to Black Scorpion's carelessness; they would never believe he could lose to Mo Ming.
"Captain, the brothers support you! Teach this ignorant brat a lesson so he knows our power!"
Night Peak's deep-set eyes were locked onto Mo Ming's movements as a pleased smile crept onto his face. He thought to himself, "Seventh Master’s insight is indeed sharp; predicting that Mo Ming would be extraordinary upon first meeting him. It seems Mo Ming truly is the opportunity I've been waiting for."
If Mo Ming's strength had already impressed Night Peak before, this time it was his courage that won him over. To openly challenge the military of Y Country is not something just anyone can do; yet Mo Ming dared to do it and remained unfazed.
People who achieve great things need such courage. Not only does Mo Ming possess this courage, but he also has the strength of a formidable individual. A person like this is destined for an extraordinary life; following someone like him means Night Peak believes his life will not be ordinary either.
"Shura, I must admit, your strength has exceeded my expectations. However, today, I must take you back!" After several exchanges, Black Scorpion had developed a hint of respect for Mo Ming, and the battle intensified.
This time, Black Scorpion had no intention of playing around. His expression was calm and composed, and a fierce determination radiated from his eyes as he said, "Shura, I hope you can show me your true abilities. Otherwise, today I will cripple you before taking you back!"
"I can be crippled, but it depends on whether you have the ability," Mo Ming replied dismissively with a faint smile.
A glint of killing intent flashed in Black Scorpion's eyes as he swiftly closed the distance to Mo Ming. His speed had increased significantly compared to their previous encounters, leaving the onlookers astonished by his rapid movements.
His speed was so fast that it seemed to leave an afterimage behind. The powerful punches he threw created a sound like the wind being cut through, truly astonishing in its swiftness.
"Black Scorpion's skills are impressive. If he were my opponent, I would probably be overwhelmed," Night Peak thought with a serious expression. He understood his own abilities well; against Black Scorpion, he could barely hold his ground for a few moments. Defeating Black Scorpion was out of the question.
Night Peak raised an eyebrow, a fierce light flashing in his eyes as he silently resolved, "Now that I've decided to carve out a different path for myself, I can't afford to be idle anymore. After Mo Ming leaves, the burden of the Dragon Soul Gang will fall on me. I must work hard to improve my strength."
"Mo Ming, you must be careful! I don't want anything to happen to you..." Jun Qianqian clenched her fists tightly, her heart racing with anxiety. She was extremely tense, not allowing herself to relax even a little.
The onlookers were all focused intently on Mo Ming and Black Scorpion, their breaths becoming heavy with anticipation. They all hoped for a quick resolution to see who would emerge victorious.
Only Mo Ming remained calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of worry. However, he was slightly surprised by Black Scorpion's true strength but felt no fear.
Although Black Scorpion was strong, Mo Ming did not believe he would lose. Since Black Scorpion was now revealing his full power, there was no need for him to hold back any longer. He increased his speed once more and matched Black Scorpion's attack pace.
After swiftly dodging Black Scorpion's fierce punch, Mo Ming gathered power in his right fist and counterattacked, turning the tide of the fight. A flicker of surprise crossed Black Scorpion's eyes, but it only made the situation more interesting for him.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Black Scorpion's mouth as he tightened his fist and aimed for Mo Ming's nose, shouting, "This feels great! It's been a long time since I've fought so comfortably. Shura, I initially thought this mission would be boring; however, you've surprised me with your strength. Unfortunately, orders are orders; I can't become friends with someone like you."
"Hah! Orders are orders; if you truly wish to make friends, what's stopping you?" Mo Ming smiled lightly and calmly dodged one of Black Scorpion's punches before quickly retaliating with a punch of his own.
Black Scorpion had decent agility and quickly retreated.
“Ha ha, interesting, interesting. At this point, do you really think Military will let you go easily?” Black Scorpion sneered and said, “Your friend, you might as well wait until your next life to make friends again; this life probably won't give you that chance.”
“Well, that's not certain. I can guarantee that you won't take me away today,” Mo Ming said as he moved closer to Black Scorpion, swinging a punch that bypassed Black Scorpion's block and aimed for his chest. Black Scorpion's eyes widened in alarm as he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
A smile immediately appeared at the corner of Mo Ming's mouth. As he loosened his grip on Black Scorpion's hand, he swiftly raised a leg and aimed a kick at Black Scorpion's leg with incredible speed. Those watching felt their hearts race, seeing that Black Scorpion was about to be hit.
“Hmph.” Black Scorpion let out a cold grunt and quickly extended his leg to block Mo Ming's attack.
However, the smile on Mo Ming's face grew wider as he anticipated that Black Scorpion would have to raise his leg to block, exposing an opening. He quickly released the grip on Black Scorpion's hand and tightened his fist again, aiming for Black Scorpion's chin.
With Black Scorpion's leg suspended in the air, he lost his balance. The speed of Mo Ming's punch was too quick; he tried to dodge but failed and took a solid hit from Mo Ming. It felt like being struck by a Hammer, and Mo Ming had put some force behind it.
With just one punch, Black Scorpion felt stars spinning around his head as he staggered backward a few steps before stopping. He leaned forward, crouching down while holding his chin, looking somewhat pained.
“Captain!”
The members of the Blood Wolf Special Forces were about to rush in when the Brothers of the Dragon Soul Gang immediately readied their weapons. If those Special Forces dared to act, they would not hesitate to open fire. In this line of work, one had to be bold; only then would wealth, status, and beautiful women come your way!
As long as they protected their leader this time, they could earn merit and rise in rank without issue.
“Don’t move! I’ll handle this!” Black Scorpion raised his hand to stop his men, stood up, spat out some blood to the side, and grinned at Mo Ming: “I admit my strength is inferior to yours, but today, no matter what, I will take you back!”
“You can’t beat me yet you still want to fight?” Mo Ming shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “I have no enmity with you; I can’t bring myself to kill you. You should just leave; there will be other opportunities to catch me later.”
“Stop the nonsense. Asura, if I don’t take you back today, I won’t give up,” Black Scorpion coldly snorted and was about to make a move when someone shouted for him to stop.
"Black Scorpion, stop! The latest order is to halt the current mission and no longer capture the Shura!"
A person in a black suit from Y Country pushed through the crowd and walked in, positioning himself between Black Scorpion and Mo Ming. He looked at Black Scorpion and patted his shoulder, saying, "Alright, relax. I've already spoken with your superior. Your mission has been canceled; you can withdraw."
"Yes!" Black Scorpion recognized the newcomer, Randolph, a senior official from the political department of Y Country. Naturally, he did not dare to doubt what he said. Without asking for reasons, Black Scorpion immediately saluted.
Then, Black Scorpion walked over to Mo Ming, revealing a friendly smile. "Even though you are the leader of the Dragon Soul Gang, I am a soldier, and I still admire you. You are truly impressive!"
"Hehe, regardless of our identities, I also have great respect for you. You carry out military orders with dedication and have a strong sense of military decorum," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile. "I hope we have the chance to meet again."
"Probably not much chance left," Black Scorpion joked. "If we do meet again, I might have to kill you. Shura, goodbye, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Black Scorpion left with the Blood Wolf Special Forces.
At this moment, Jun Qianqian saw that the crisis had been resolved and her tense heart relaxed. She walked over and grabbed Mo Ming's arm, looking him up and down with concern in her eyes. "Mo Ming, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"Who do you think I am? Am I that easy to injure?" Mo Ming shook his head at Jun Qianqian, a slight smile on his lips. He then turned to the recently arrived Randolph. "May I ask who you are?"
