Big Baldy is a Mercenary. There is a significant difference between Mercenaries and Adventurers; Mercenaries have far fewer rules compared to Adventurers.
At first glance, Mercenaries and Adventurers may seem similar, and many outsiders cannot distinguish the differences between the two. However, at their core, they are entirely different.
Every Adventurer has their own beliefs, which can be understood as the character of a warrior. In contrast, Mercenaries only care about money; as long as the payment is right, they can do anything.
For example, in this situation, to kill Lin.
He does not care who Lin is or why he needs to be killed. As long as Brother Guang offers him fifty million, it doesn’t matter if it’s just one Lin or ten; he would still carry out the kill!
For Bald Man, killing Lin is an easy task.
“A piece of trash with an interstellar level of only 10, will you choose to end yourself, or should I kill you?”
Bald Man smirks, his sharp teeth glinting coldly. His gaze towards Lin is filled only with mockery, devoid of any other emotion.
For Bald Man, this is merely a slaughter game.
“Hmph!”
Lin chuckles coldly. He knows this battle will not be easy, but he cannot lose his momentum. His smile carries a casualness that suggests he is the one in control.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Without wasting more words, Lin waves his hand to command the assassination machines to attack Bald Man while he retreats.
With a hiss, black light flashes by. Bald Man merely shrugs his shoulders and swings his arms a few times, capturing all the assassination machines into his hands.
The sound of crunching fills the air as he raises his hand, reducing four machines to scraps that fall to the ground.
This scene makes Lin squint his eyes and twitch at the corners. He reveals a look of surprise. He anticipated that Bald Man would be strong but did not expect him to be this powerful.
The assassination machines that could easily kill level 10 warriors were all destroyed in one move before him.
“Dream Source! Don't cry, you need to pull yourself together and take Liya away from here!”
Staring at the Bald Man in front of him, Lin Lian didn't dare to turn his head. He was afraid that if he lost focus for even a moment, the opponent would seize on his weakness.
Behind him, Dream Source was still sobbing in the snow, her eyes filled with fear, like a lost child tightly holding onto the unconscious Liya.
“W-where do I go?” Her voice trembled with tears.
“Run! Run back!”
Lin Da shouted, truly anxious. He didn't know how long the remaining seven uses of the [Barrier] would last.
He needed to buy more time for Dream Source to escape the reach of the bald man. At the very least, they needed to hide in the forest; perhaps then they would have a chance to escape.
……
The Bald Man across from them bared his sharp teeth, resembling a demon ready to devour its prey. “Run? Where do you think you can run?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bald Man charged forward directly at Lin, his unusually thick arms resembling iron pillars, cutting through the air with a whoosh.
“Damn it!”
Lin shouted angrily. His body hesitated for a moment as he intended to dodge but immediately retaliated instead.
The Bald Man wasn't particularly fast; his steps were heavy and strong. It was clear he was a power-type fighter. If that heavy force struck Lin, it would surely crush him to pieces, possibly even cost him his life.
But with Dream Source and Liya still behind him, Lin Bie had no choice but to step up and buy time for their escape.
“Bang!”
The [Barrier] took the brunt of the Bald Man's attack, rippling waves of energy spreading out from Lin's side, blowing against the clothing of both individuals.
The Bald Man's eyes widened in shock; he never expected Lin to block his attack. After this move, he should have been dead!
With disheveled hair flying, Lin squinted and fixed his gaze on the Bald Man's head.
He knew that the Bald Man's defenses were at their lowest at this moment, presenting a great opportunity for a counterattack. If successful, he might win this battle.
As the thought crossed his mind, Lin's left hand moved; his body reacted much faster than his nerves!
The top-tier Left-Handed Blade erupted forth!
Silver light from the blade formed a line in mid-air, resembling a blooming silver flower, aimed directly at the Bald Man's head!
Unfortunately, the Bald Man was ultimately a Level 0 warrior. Even though he had spent his life as a Level 0 gatekeeper, he was no match for Lin Ke, who had just stepped into Level 8.
His two strong arms immediately blocked in front of his bald head, successfully stopping Lin's direct strike.
"Ding! Ding!"
Lin heard an eerie metallic clashing sound in his ears; it wasn't the sensation of blades piercing flesh that he had imagined. It seemed the Bald Man's arms were peculiar!
A thought flashed through Lin's mind. Without waiting for the Left-Handed Blade to finish its execution, he quickly withdrew. He knew that with the sharpness of Willow Whisper, he couldn't break through the defense, and this attack was likely to miss.
Sure enough, as Lin retreated, the Bald Man revealed his arms hidden beneath his trench coat.
Half-squatting in the snow, the Bald Man wore a helpless smile and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I didn't want you to die so pathetically, but since you dared to shred my clothes, it seems you're going to die very painfully!"
Slowly lowering his arms, it became clear that the Bald Man's arms were entirely metallic. Precise machinery operated within them, and one could even hear pistons moving inside.
"Zing!" A puff of white vapor emerged from his wrists as his thick metal fingers flexed with a clanking sound.
"Metallic arm gauntlets?"
Lin's eyes suddenly widened; he had never seen such a weapon before.
"No, you inexperienced fool, this is an Alloy Prosthetic. Although I lost both arms during that mission, I gained more powerful alloy arms."
"I can easily tear apart your frail body with its power! Yellow monkey!"
The Bald Man grinned wider, his sharp teeth interlocking as his terrifying tongue licked over them like a venomous serpent, looking at Lin as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Oh really? Then I want to give it a try."
Lin's expression was serious; he felt the pressure on him growing stronger. Those two arms felt like a locomotive, filled with mechanical strength.
But Lin still refused to back down verbally. In battle, one might lose in strength, but never in momentum. If one's momentum is weak, fear will set in before the fight even begins, and they are bound to lose!
"Then! You can taste my Alloy Prosthetic!"
The Bald Man retracted his tongue, his expression becoming even more cruel, with a serious glint in his eyes.
What followed would not be the tentative attacks from before; he was going to attack with all his might!
Lin's palms began to sweat involuntarily as he gripped the hilt of his knife tighter.
The energy shield could still withstand six attacks. Lin had to either defeat the Bald Man within those six attacks or die on the seventh.
