Urban Ace Bodyguard

"My surname is Lin." Lin Hai answered truthfully.

Facing such an expert, lying would be futile; perhaps they had already known, simply observing what kind of person he was.

"Surname Lin?" The mysterious taboo existence murmured to itself,

Then, the other party suddenly looked up, their eyes bursting with a dazzling brilliance that captivated the soul.

"Senior, you..."

Before Lin Hai could finish speaking, the opponent made a sudden move, with such astonishing speed that it left onlookers agape.

This punch was strong and heroic, with immense force; it seemed capable of effortlessly destroying a large tree that would take several people to embrace, and if it hit a person, it would likely reduce them to mush in an instant.

"Sh*t!"

Lin Hai almost instinctively used his strongest technique, Eight Stele Hand - New Three Styles.

It is the habit of experts to not offer any chances to warm up during a fight; either you start with your strongest technique, or you're instantly shattered to bits.

"What a terrifying punch!"

From just a slight contact, Lin Hai felt a vast and boundless force rushing directly towards him, unceasing and irresistible.

Almost instantaneously, Lin Hai's body was sent flying over fifty meters, barely stabilizing his footing.

The opponent's punch had no intent to kill, but it was still fearsome.

"What level is this!"

After many years of dominating the International Dark World, enduring the trials of battle and life-and-death situations, and defeating countless experts, he now realized how little he truly understood; this power was unheard of.

After one strike from the taboo existence, there was no pause.

Another punch, a bit stronger than the last.

The air around seemed to twist under the influence of this massive force; and this was just a casual, effortless punch, you can imagine how terrifying it was.

"Divine Shadow Eight Steps!"

Lin Hai knew that he could not withstand it.

If this punch landed, it would certainly be fatal.

Even though he was a Supreme Strong among experts and the King of Assassins, he was now forced to use all of his techniques to avoid being instantly killed by a single punch!

If word of this spread, it would cause immense shock.

"Divine Shadow Step?" The taboo existence uttered in surprise.

Eight Stele Hand, Divine Shadow Step, both are Xuan Skills; in today's world, it is already rare for someone to master a complete Xuan Skill.

To master two at the same time? Almost unheard of.

Despite having the Divine Shadow Step, the speed of the taboo existence was too fast.

The roaring punch wind brushed past Lin Hai's waist...

Pfff, his waist clothing shattered, and flesh and blood flew about.

The terrifying Fist Power slammed Lin Hai uncontrollably against a large tree.

"Sh*t, utterly incapable of resistance."

Lin Hai gasped for breath, the opponent's Gang Qi seemed to be the most mundane, but the power it exerted was the most horrific.

Could this be the rumored transformation of decay into something magical?

The fallen Lin Hai had no strength to struggle or resist, he vomited blood, mixed with bits of flesh.

The towering figure obscured Lin Hai's vision.

"It's over, do I have to reveal my trump card?" Lin Hai murmured internally.

"Out of respect for Eight Stele Hand, I won't kill you."

The taboo existence suddenly spoke.

Lin Hai and Blood Earl were both taken aback.

"Eight Stele Hand, Bone Finger, taboo existence, is there a connection between them? Otherwise, why would he spare me?" Lin Hai instantly pondered these connections.

"What's your full name?"

"My name is Lin Hai."

"Lin Hai?..." The Forbidden existence seemed lost in thought.

Lin Hai felt bewildered, why did this peerless expert keep asking what his name was?

"It's very similar, but why isn't it Lin Baohuan?" The mysterious Forbidden existence muttered to himself.

Lin Baohuan? Damn, that's only one character away from Erotic massage. If that were really my name, Ouyang Xiaoya and Queen Qi would definitely laugh me to death.

*Cough cough*, "Senior, my real name is Lin Hai." Lin Hai hurriedly stated, worried that this capricious person would force him to change his name; if it changed to Lin Baohuan, that would be way too embarrassing.

The Forbidden existence seemed to ponder something.

After a while, the Forbidden existence spoke again: "The first move just now, it's called Po Jun."

Lin Hai was curious, the first punch technique's name? It seemed very plain and ordinary.

"Remember it carefully, every single detail," said the Forbidden existence once more.

Lin Hai recalled carefully. The seemingly ordinary move— from twisting the hips, bending the knees, the angle and force of the punch, to even the breathing— every detail seemed to be calculated with precision.

To turn decay into magic; it sounds profound but actually focuses on the basics.

Lin Hai understood this point very well.

But most people lack the patience to work on basics, or they think it's unnecessary.

Only those with great ambition and determination might do such things.

"The second move is called Seven Kills," said the Forbidden existence once again.

Lin Hai quickly recalled the scene just now; the second move had even more power than the first, the force of the punch almost knocked him out in an instant. If mastered, it would definitely be a powerful killer move.

"The first move focuses on form, the second on spirit, which is the technique of controlling Gang Qi," the Forbidden existence seemed to be giving Lin Hai some pointers.

After saying this, he turned his gaze toward the Blood Earl.

The Blood Earl immediately felt a chill throughout his body, nearly suffocating.

"I can spare your life, but you must agree to one condition," he said.

"Senior, please say, whatever it is, I'll do it," said the Blood Earl, who at this point had no dignity left.

"Follow him!"

The Forbidden existence pointed towards Lin Hai, speaking to the Blood Earl.

"Uh?" Both Lin Hai and the Blood Earl were flabbergasted.

To have the Blood Earl follow Lin Hai? To become an underling?

"Senior, this..." Lin Hai asked in surprise.

The Forbidden existence glanced at him again, then said no more.

Clouds driven by the wind covered the moonlight, and when the light returned, Lin Hai and the Blood Earl were shocked to find the mysterious Forbidden existence had disappeared.

They exchanged another astonished look. When had the Forbidden existence left?

"Brother Lin, are you related to the Forbidden existence?" the Blood Earl asked weakly from the ground.

Lin Hai also shook his head: "I don't know him. If I did, would I be tiptoeing around in Huaxia?"

"Uh, that makes sense. But why did he take special care of you and even teach you his techniques?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "I'm not sure. The technique just now seemed simple, yet complex."

"That kind of technique, I'm guessing, might be the mastery of a broken Ancient Profound Skill and then merging it with modern common techniques to create a new technique," the Blood Earl was quite knowledgeable.

"Why not combine Ancient Profound Skills with Xuan Skills? Wouldn't that be more powerful?" Lin Hai asked.

The Blood Earl shook his head: "It's not that simple. For a damaged Ancient Profound Skill to merge with modern techniques is already a devilish feat of intelligence."

Lin Hai's heart tensed, firmly memorizing the Forbidden existence's techniques, afraid of forgetting. This was valuable, and would definitely be a huge help for his future steps into becoming Legendary!

He couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. Stepping into the rank of Legendary now seemed possible.
