"Combat Gun Arts!"

She charged towards David once more, like a white shadow in the wind.

David raised his right fist again to use his most familiar stance: Scorching Fury when Suddenly, he felt a numb sensation at the back of his waist.

"What?! There's poison!"

With his waist suddenly losing strength, he could not even maintain the basic stance.

It was too late for him to do anything about it, so he could only use all of his strength to block with his arms raised.

Bang bang bang!

A series of gunshots rang out and David violently smashed into the wall behind him. Three beams erupted and three large holes were lodged in both of his arms, the right side of his face, and his abdomen. He could feel a metallic taste in his mouth.

"Damn it! The handgun is too close, and not ordinary too!"

An ordinary beam would need to stay within a human's body to maximize the lethality. When fired from such a close range, the penetrating strength was too high. If it was someone else, they would not be too injured and would only suffer a penetrating trauma at most. However, as this was David. He had literally experienced death and also, his body was too strong, the penetrating strength of the beam only served to pierce his skin and the lethality was reduced as it successfully entered his body.

The beam shot at the right side of his face was originally aimed towards his forehead, but was timely avoided. However, the other two positions were on target. Both of his arms were struck by a punch as well, but it was weak. However, it was just enough to break his stance and allow the beam to hit his face.

Leaning on the wall, David did not even have time to catch his breath. He saw a white figure viciously pouncing at him as, the silvery blades on her feet drew an arc in the air as they aimed for his abdomen.

With the poison on the blade, he would definitely die if he was struck a few more times.

"Damn it!!"

David was angered. Just what sort of poison was this!? Enough to weaken even him! He roared in fury. Though his opponent was slower than the large man, she was still extremely quick and faster than him. At that moment, he could already feel the cold blade touching his abdomen.

"Since I can't avoid it, then we'll see who's tougher!!"

"Die!!!"

With a roar, his abdominal muscles tightened to trap the blade, his left hand grabbed onto her leg to prevent her from escaping, and he viciously swung his right fist at the purple-eyed woman's head.

Bang!!

"Umph!" The woman was struck in the head by the punch and she reeled back from the blow, splattering blood everywhere."

The two of them separated, breathing heavily.

Even though the fight between them did not last long, the situation was abnormally severe. Both of them were heavily injured.

The woman's right eye was completely destroyed, her entire body was shaking, and she was bleeding even more from her facial orifices.

David was poisoned, his lower back was getting number, and his abdomen was starting to get numb as well. If the woman was not too weak and the blade was longer, the attack might have directly penetrated his gut.

David was leaning on the wall. It was the first time that he met his match. Even though his opponent's defense was lower and she had not grasped the Vibration Technique, her power was comparable and her blade could easily pierce his skin and muscles with enough strength behind it. The high defense of his skin was almost nothing for his opponent. With the addition of the gun, poison and martial art combination, David knew that he would not be able to get the treasure today.

"I've taken a huge loss this time!!" he muttered to himself. Lifting up his head, he saw the woman struggling to stand up. She was holding the silver handgun and was slowly aiming at him.

Bang bang bang!

Out of the three shots, only one managed to hit David's right shoulder. The bullet did not even managed to pierce through the skin and only left a red mark before it ricocheted. It made a clear sound as it was reflected off his muscles.

"Your eyes are finished, hehe… You should have just handed that thing over. You were asking for it." David gloatingly laughed.

"You… Very well!!" The purple-eyed woman took two steps backward, then sagged onto the ground. "Unfortunately, you're poisoned. So you'll only... die earlier than me. To be able to die… by the hands of the Golden Prime Institute, your death isn't wasted."

It seemed that the two punches—using the Vibration technique—to her head had made her slightly sluggish.

David knew that the vibration was taking effect. The lady standing across from him must have had her insides injured by the power of vibration. This version of Scroching Fury was unlike that of the previous time as it was even more powerful and deadly.

The lady might even have internal bleeding from it. David was confident in his actual strength and, if he were to use his it, he might even surpass the peak of Meteor Realm. A simple gun would not pose any threat to him now. Originally, he planned to sneak out once he had finished searching for the treasures in their hideout, but he had not expected this purple-eyed lady to discover her henchmen's corpses.

Everything was smooth up until this point. David had not expected his opponent to be so vicious. The lady did not hold back on him using guns, fists, and even poison.

"I have to leave here now!" He felt that the numbness in his back had intensified.

David sneered and then closed his mouth. He focused on his force and instantly, his cells started slamming against each other, his bidy releasing massive amount of heat.

Instantly, massive amounts of adrenaline was being extreted from his body, swiftly strengthening him

"Blood influences the cells which in turn influences recovery rate. It might prove to be useful now against poisonous effects."

In this emergency situation, David had a few ideas, but he was running out of time. He needed to recover and escape to prevent unforeseen accidents from happening. The enemy body count of men from the Golden Prime Institute was no joke.

He focused more on his Blood Force and agitated them to the limit. At that moment, his body turned red, steam oozing out from his head like a stove.

The moment the adrenaline was excreted, David first felt nothing but tingling all over his body. It only took one second for him to return to normal. He felt the numbness around his back and his lower abdomen start to fade away. He even recovered enough strength to stand up.

"Effective indeed!"

Although not surprised, he was pleased by what happened.

"It is not worth becoming like this for a High grade Blood Force technique! I even started a feud with one of the masters of the Golden Prime Institute. If I don't take care of it now, I'll be in even more trouble in the future!"

He was determined to finish his opponent to prevent any inconvenience in the future.

He stood up and began slowly walking toward the purple-eyed lady.

"How can you still stand?!" The purple-eyed lady covered her right eye with on of her hands. The remaining eye stared at David in shock. "How can you still move after taking hits from the Ivory Matriarch's poison?!

Her whole body was deadened and without strength due to blood loss. Though she could still aim her gun, her effort seemed meaningless against her opponent. She could not even reload and shoot in time due to the short distance from her opponent.

"This is the end!" An indifferenclt smile could be seen on David's face. He felt his body recovering rapidly. The agitation to his blood had increased his Physique and had really helped his body. He sensed the numbness almost disappearing from his back and the feeling of pain returned from the injuries to his abdomen area.

"Hurry! The Master has been waiting for a while now!" Hurried steps were heard coming from the outside.

David's facial expression changed and he had one last look at the lady before deciding to escape. He jumped out from the same window he had snuck in from, turned the corner, and disappeared into the rain.

The lady had her head down and only let out her breath after confirming that David had left the hall. Blood and tears seeped through the fingers of the hand she held over her eye and dripped onto the black tile floor.

She picked up the clothing that she threw on the floor from earlier and covered her naked chest . Her body began slowly shrinking down, like a deflating balloon. In no time, she returned to her original form – a pretty lady with a petite figure.

The living room door swung open widely. A man and a woman dressed in suits swiftly came through the door. They were startled by the mess that was left behind and the purple-eyed lady who sat on the floor.
