Gao Hai shouted at the communicator, wanting to inform Ou Chenyu of Su Mo’s situation.

However, there was no response from Ou Chenyu through the communicator.

Only the rustling sound of signal interference.

Gao Hai frowned deeply: “Impossible, we should be outside the electromagnetic interference zone here…”

He suspiciously glanced at Su Mo, scanned for a moment, then focused on the collar.

He saw the small, round metal piece on Su Mo’s collar and gritted his teeth to utter a curse.

The device was a single-soldier electronic countermeasure unit from the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, already switched by Su Mo to strong interference mode, turning the surrounding hundred meters into a signal dead zone, where no messages could be transmitted.

Gao Hai gritted his teeth, having no choice but to give up, coldly asking: “Su, did the Tooth Tiger offend you? Why sabotage us?”

Su Mo didn’t answer directly, instead, he said calmly: “Old Gao, I’d advise you not to remain with the Tooth Tiger. Ou Chenyu harbors a demon within; he’s not worth your loyalty.”

Gao Hai didn’t understand Su Mo’s meaning, taking it as sowing discord, and sneeringly asked back: “If I don’t stay with the Tooth Tiger, where will I go? Join you? Do you dare to take me?”

Su Mo laughed self-deprecatingly, murmuring to himself: “Indeed, you’re such a loyal person… Even when he sells you out, you still believe in him…”

Gao Hai ignored Su Mo, raising his fist: “Enough talk, let’s fight. Only one of us leaves alive today!”

Su Mo: “And that person will be me.”

With that, he re-entered battle mode.

Just now, by going all-out, he successfully made Gao Hai think he couldn’t handle the kinetic counter armor.

This was the first step, intended to give Gao Hai confidence to opt for close combat rather than pulling back for guerrilla tactics.

The second step was to expose his identity, allowing Gao Hai to recognize him, so he knew what blood code type and class he was facing.

Blood code types are easily judged in combat, no need for unveiling identity.

But blood code class is difficult to perceive directly; after all, reality lacks game panels.

If he shouted to Gao Hai: Look, I’m Awakening level.

That would be too pretentious…

A few days ago in the Libetong Mansion, when Ou Chenyu and Su Mo met and shook hands, he used his prosthetic to measure his bone rigidity and thus deduced his Mad Corpse Blood Code was of Awakening class.

Then once he revealed his appearance, Gao Hai would realize—oh, it’s this guy.

Gao Hai would immediately form a steel-like judgment—I’m facing a High Tier of Awakening Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier.

With these two steps laid down, it’s time for the final step.

In close combat, exert extreme pressure on Gao Hai and force out his blood code power.

Then… make him make “that” fatal and catastrophic judgment.

…

Su Mo initiated the attack, launching a punch at Gao Hai’s face.

Gao Hai repeated his trick, using the kinetic counter armor to block the punch and bounce back the force.

“Boom!” The muffled sound shook one’s chest uneasily.

Su Mo absorbed the recoil, didn’t stop his attack, and continued his fierce onslaught against Gao Hai from the front.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…”

Su Mo’s punches shot out like heavy artillery, each impact louder than the last, maintaining a swift offensive after dozens of punches.

Gao Hai relied on his armor to block all attacks, yet grew increasingly alarmed.

This guy is a real iron-head!

First time witnessing someone confronting kinetic counter armor with such brute force.

Su Mo sustained intense pressure on Gao Hai with his relentless attacks, his right fist stirring a turbulent airflow, striking fiercely towards Gao Hai’s abdomen from below.

“Boom!” The force rebounded, almost fracturing Su Mo’s wrist.

Yet he didn’t stop, choosing to endure his own pain to keep battering Gao Hai.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…” Punch after punch slammed into the kinetic counter armor.

Finally…

“Boom!!” The muffled sound echoed, Gao Hai’s eyes bulged suddenly, feeling as if smashed by a heavy hammer, sent flying several circles.

The supposedly “bouncing” effect failed.

Because the kinetic counter armor was “broken” by Su Mo.

Nothing in the world is invincible, and this armor is no exception.

Beyond its domineering effect, the kinetic counter armor has its own weakness—energy.

It’s a technology-based armor that consumes energy from its internal mechanical units to block and rebound attacks.

In a fully charged state, it indeed can mindlessly rebound, which seems cheating.

But once its energy drains, it loses its defensive ability, becoming just an ordinary piece of clothing.

Su Mo’s ferocious assault just now had depleted its energy.

Gao Hai was not lightly injured by the punch, and before he could get up, Su Mo was already upon him.

Those fists swung wildly, carrying a fierce whistling sound.

Gao Hai truly didn’t expect Su Mo to adopt such a mad dog tactic, willing to get bruised and battered in order to exhaust the energy of the kinetic counter armor.

Su Mo pursued Gao Hai relentlessly, each punch a heavy blow.

Gao Hai dodged a punch using his body technique, his eyes turned sharp, swiftly lowered his body, and his fingertips slid past Su Mo’s right thigh, slicing out a gash.

The cut was thin, not harming arteries or vital areas, as if lightly flicked by a knife.

This small wound shouldn’t cause any serious effect.

Yet, in the next moment, a mutation occurred suddenly.

Su Mo’s attack halted, his body collapsed from exhaustion, his right thigh stiffened, becoming uncontrollable.

Gao Hai took the chance to roll and rise, his gaze became sinister, his fingertips’ nails turned a bizarre black, occasionally dripping black liquid like a venomous snake’s fangs.

In Su Mo’s mind, four words appeared—Python Poison Blood Code.

This was Gao Hai’s blood code, its direct combat capability wasn’t strong but was exceptionally adept at assassination and surprise attacks.

Python Poison Blood Code Carriers can synthesize and store toxins within their bodies, while remaining unaffected themselves.

When they activate their ability, their entire bodily fluids become poisonous, and they can control their secretion.

The higher the Python Poison Blood Code class, the deadlier the toxins within the carrier’s body.

Gao Hai’s blood code class was “High Tier of Awakening,” higher than both of Su Mo’s blood codes.

Earlier, Gao Hai secreted toxins at his fingertips, so when he scraped Su Mo’s thigh, the venom contacted the wound, crippling one of his legs.

Seizing the moment of Su Mo’s impeded movement, Gao Hai drew his gun, preparing to shoot him dead from a distance.

“Bang bang bang—”

Su Mo raised his arm in front, forming Rigid Bone to protect his vitals, blocking all bullets.

Then, propelling off his left leg, he leaped towards Gao Hai.

Gao Hai tutted, not expecting Su Mo to be such a nuisance, evading with agility once more.

Su Mo missed his first strike, continuing to advance with single-legged propulsion, firmly pursuing Gao Hai.

Through extensive combat experience, Gao Hai gauged his attack trajectory, swiftly dodging a punch, and instead advancing, aiming his fingertips at Su Mo’s left leg.

This close range, with only one leg left, Su Mo couldn’t possibly evade.

“Slash—” The poison-dripping nails tore Su Mo’s skin, crippling his left leg as well.

With both legs incapacitated, Su Mo couldn’t stand anymore, immediately collapsing.

Gao Hai wasn’t done, swiftly swinging his fingers, slicing through Su Mo’s arms, injecting toxins throughout his body.

Now, Su Mo’s arms and legs were all rendered useless, leaving him completely incapacitated.

Gao Hai’s nerves relaxed suddenly, he spat out frothy blood, and let out a long sigh.

Victory!

A High Tier of Awakening Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier’s body contaminated with the same level Python Poison; recovery within hours was impossible.
