Gu Mu noticed that every time he killed someone, his villain value would jump up by one or two points, but if he only injured someone, his villain value would not change.
Therefore, leave no survivors.
He'd be lucky to escape unscathed from these hundred-plus highly skilled individuals; there's no point in considering leaving a few alive for severe torture and interrogation.
Instead of killing him directly, you can gain villain points and exchange them for items in the system shop.
Sure enough, as soon as one of the men in black spoke, only a few of them remained to hold off the assassins and Lu Xiaoyao, preventing them from providing support.
Everyone else gravitated towards Gu Mu.
"You must die here today." This time, the man in black was determined.
Gu Mu unleashed punches and palm strikes, but there were too many people for him to defend against.
He adopted a fierce and aggressive approach.
For example, snapping an enemy's neck, throwing an enemy against a nearby tree, or shattering an enemy's internal organs with a palm strike imbued with internal force.
At this moment, he was nothing more than a ruthless killing machine.
He had been slashed in the leg, and blood was seeping out.
He had been struck in the shoulder by a sword, which stained his clothes red.
But he killed even more enemies.
Villain value +1,
Villain value +2,
Villain value +2,
Villain value +1.
A sword was about to pierce his heart.
Meanwhile, Gu Mu's two fists were parrying the other enemies.
Swords were constantly thrusting at him from all around.
There was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to hide.
The assassins who were willing to risk their lives to protect him were entangled by the men in black and were unable to get close to Gu Mu in a place far away.
If Gu Mu had been struck in the heart by that sword, although it wouldn't have been an instant kill as some people thought, the sword might not have been fatal due to his body's defensive capabilities.
But he will still be seriously injured, his body will weaken rapidly, and eventually he will be exhausted and killed by those people.
The expected pain did not come.
Lu Xiaoyao was very close to him.
No one expected that this lovely girl with her hair in a bun would step forward.
A long whip locked onto one of the men's swords, using the force to fly over and block Gu Mu's path.
The sword pierced straight into Lu Xiaoyao's shoulder.
The blood seeping from Lu Xiaoyao's body stained her gray-white linen clothes red.
Lu Xiaoyao blinked.
She collapsed into Gu Mu's arms.
"Kill them!"
"They can't hold out for long!"
The man in black laughed. One was seriously injured, and the other could not get close and was unable to protect him. Gu Mu was also covered in wounds, and his attack power was gradually decreasing.
And there are still more than seventy of them.
Gu Mu is doomed to die today.
The men in black attacked Gu Mu together.
"You can run," Gu Mu said in a low voice.
"Ah... that's not fair..." Lu Xiaoyao muttered softly, her eyes reddening as if she were in pain.
She looked at Gu Mu, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "If we die, we die together; if we run, we run together."
Midnight has passed.
The crescent moon in the sky was already the new moon of the second day.
Welcome to this new day,
Gu Mu's system panel also changed.
"System: Congratulations on completing mission three and receiving the reward 'Peerless Spearmanship'."
It has been exactly one month since the prime minister's confinement ended.
As for the one-year penalty, Gu Mu had already made him pay it before the prime minister was confined to his quarters, just in case.
The prime minister was very happy with the conversation.
He was willing to go bankrupt for the disaster relief efforts in Jiangnan.
But His Highness resolved the disaster in Jiangnan without making them pay a single penny.
What is a mere year's salary?
Because it was "peerless spear technique," which is not an item, the reward issued by the system was not put into his inventory this time, but was directly engraved into his mind.
Every move and strike of the peerless spear technique played out in Gu Mu's mind.
It's ingrained in his muscle memory, as if he's practiced it hundreds or thousands of times.
True mastery of the spear is not just about the exquisite skill of the spear; it also includes combat experience, muscle memory and instinctive reactions, fighting techniques, and a suitable weapon...
All of these, along with his unparalleled spear skills, were etched into Gu Mu's body.
At the same time, after Gu Mu absorbed the Peerless Spear Technique, his inventory jumped up and a fiery red spear appeared.
This spear was created specifically for Gu Mu's physical attributes, making it the most suitable weapon for him.
The item slot for long spears has a small upward arrow in the upper right corner, indicating that it can be upgraded.
That makes sense. As Gu Mu's physical abilities continue to improve, this gun will gradually become unable to keep up with his needs.
Only what can be continuously upgraded is the most suitable for him.
"Is there such a white mist?" Gu Mu was referring to the white mist that Lu Xiaoyao had released to obstruct his vision when she fled in front of him earlier.
"There are too many of them, and they're all experts. It won't be easy to escape with the white fog," Lu Xiaoyao murmured softly in Gu Mu's arms.
The blood seeping from her body also stained Gu Mu's clothes red.
“This time, we don’t need to run.” Gu Mu said softly, with one arm around Lu Xiaoyao.
Lu Xiaoyao took a small marble out of her pocket and smashed it on the ground.
Suddenly, white mist spread, obstructing everyone's view.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" the man in black shouted, listening to the sounds in the air.
It's impossible for Gu Mu to break through the encirclement using the white mist!
Everyone was on high alert, but when the white mist dissipated, Gu Mu was still standing in the same spot, but now he had a long spear in his hand.
A hint of coldness appeared on his face.
His eyes, bloodshot with rage, glared at everyone: "Run? You're the ones who should be running!"
