BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
With each loud crash, Chen Jun slammed into the door again and again like a boulder.
What Lin Mo never expected was that not only was the security in this residential complex terrible, but even the front door was so weak.
After several consecutive impacts, Chen Jun actually forced the door open.
As the door burst open, Lin Mo and Chen Jun stood facing each other only a few meters apart.
At that moment, Lin Mo's heartbeat sped up, and his mind went blank.
At the same time, Ning Xi, who had just finished calling the police and the property management from the balcony, saw the face of the person who had broken in through the balcony glass door and was instantly filled with fear.
Swish!
Chen Jun pulled out a sharp dagger and stared viciously at Lin Mo.
With a twisted grin, he said, "Hello, Rulebound."
The moment he finished speaking, without even giving Lin Mo a chance to talk and stall for time, Chen Jun rushed at him with the dagger like an arrow released from a bow.
With nowhere left to retreat, Lin Mo gripped the cleaver and fought back while shouting to Ning Xi behind him, "Ning Xi! Get back to your room! Don't come out!"
They were on the twentieth floor. Jumping out the window was impossible.
The only thing Lin Mo could think of was having Ning Xi hide in her room while he held off Chen Jun and waited for the property management staff to arrive.
However, Chen Jun was a trained fighter after all.
He was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 110 kilograms. There wasn't an ounce of fat on his body, only muscle.
He even had extensive experience killing people.
In Oracle, although Chen Jun had tremendous strength, Lin Mo's superior attributes meant that in every encounter, Chen Jun never even had a chance to touch him.
But in reality, the brute force in his body was enough to kill a bull with one punch.
Forget Lin Mo alone, even three or five strong men together might not be a match for Chen Jun.
And Chen Jun had clearly come prepared.
Clang!
Using the metal bracer hidden inside his left sleeve to block Lin Mo's downward slash, Chen Jun immediately swung his dagger toward Lin Mo's neck.
Combining his Divine Oracle combat skills with reality, Lin Mo leaned backward to avoid the attack.
But Chen Jun raised his leg and kicked him several meters away.
Chen Jun's strength was terrifying.
Lin Mo felt as though several of his ribs had been broken by the kick. The intense pain left him collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Without giving Lin Mo a chance to recover, Chen Jun pounced on him like a tiger.
Bang!
At the critical moment, Ning Xi suddenly rushed out from the side hallway and smashed a stool onto Chen Jun's head.
Even though she was terrified, she hadn't ignored Lin Mo and hidden in her room.
Instead, she had gone back to grab a stool and used the hallway to stay out of sight, waiting for the right moment to help him.
Although the sneak attack succeeded, Ning Xi weighed only ninety pounds. Even using all her strength, her "fatal blow" failed to break through Chen Jun's defense and only dealt 1 point of forced damage.
Chen Jun shook his head.
"You're asking for death!"
With an angry shout, he grabbed Ning Xi's throat with his left hand and drove the dagger in his right hand straight into her chest.
Blood instantly stained the white dress Ning Xi had specially changed into for tonight's date with Lin Mo.
Her face was filled with pain, yet she still held tightly onto Chen Jun's arm with both hands and said to Lin Mo on the ground, "Brother Lin Mo... run... run..."
"Xiao Xi!"
Filled with grief and rage, Lin Mo endured the pain from his shattered ribs and tried to grab the cleaver lying nearby.
But Chen Jun stomped down and broke his arm.
"Sis! Brother-in-law!"
At that moment, Ning Fei, who had just logged out of Oracle, rushed out of the bedroom.
Seeing Ning Xi lying in a pool of blood and Lin Mo struggling on the verge of death, he instantly exploded with anger.
"You bastard, I'll kill you!"
Using the hallway for momentum, Ning Fei leaped into the air and threw himself at Chen Jun.
As a sports student, Ning Fei had some strength.
He actually managed to knock Chen Jun to the floor.
The two immediately began wrestling with each other.
Although a sports student had much greater physical ability than an ordinary person, he was still no match for a professional killer.
Using overwhelming strength, Chen Jun pinned Ning Fei to the ground.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Quick and efficient, he stabbed Ning Fei several times in succession.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Like Ning Xi, Ning Fei tightly held onto Chen Jun's leg and shouted to Lin Mo, "Brother-in-law! Run... hurry... call the police!"
A moment later, Ning Fei also fell into the pool of blood and stopped breathing.
After dealing with Ning Fei, Chen Jun turned around and stepped on Lin Mo's chest.
He bent down, stared at Lin Mo with a vicious expression, and said, "Rulebound, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too high-profile."
"The boss wants you dead. So you have to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Stab!
Almost at the exact moment Chen Jun plunged the dagger into Lin Mo's chest, Lin Mo, who had somehow grabbed the cleaver with his left hand, swung it and sliced through Chen Jun's neck.
Chen Jun staggered backward while clutching his neck with both hands as blood poured out nonstop.
He retreated to the wall and slid down into a sitting position.
His eyes were wide open as he stared ahead in disbelief.
He never expected that from the moment Ning Xi died protecting Lin Mo, Lin Mo had already decided not to survive.
Knowing he couldn't kill Chen Jun head-on, Lin Mo had used the opportunity when Ning Fei was holding Chen Jun back. He gave up the chance to escape and intentionally exposed a weakness.
While Chen Jun turned around to finish off the already "crippled" Lin Mo, Lin Mo gathered all his strength and delivered a fatal strike.
Sitting in the corner, Chen Jun's legs twitched a few times before becoming still.
His ribs completely shattered and blood continuously flowing from the wound in his chest, Lin Mo endured the pain throughout his body and crawled little by little toward Ning Xi.
Using the last bit of his strength, he reached out and touched Ning Xi's face.
Filled with grief, he said, "I'm sorry, Ning Xi... I... got you killed..."
Lin Mo felt that his own death wouldn't matter.
After all, he had died a miserable death in his previous life, unnoticed by anyone.
But according to the history of his previous life, Ning Xi should have had a smooth journey to becoming the number one Empress of the Dragon Nation server, admired by countless people and holding immense power.
She was the guardian of Dragon Nation.
Yet because of Lin Mo, her history had changed, and in this life she had died before her time.
She had even died to protect him.
At that moment, the guilt and pain in his heart had already surpassed the pain of his injuries.
Using his final strength to stroke Ning Xi's face, Lin Mo cried out hoarsely,
"If there's another life, I will definitely... protect... you..."
After saying that, Lin Mo collapsed weakly into Ning Xi's arms.
As his consciousness gradually faded, his life slowly came to an end as well.

A sudden system notification woke Lin Mo up.
As if waking from a dream, Lin Mo opened his eyes.
Whoosh!
A white teleportation array slowly rotated before him.
He looked around.
The scene before him left him completely shocked.
"This is... the Divine Oracle world?"
"This is the Ninth Hall of the Hall of Yama, the Hall of King Pingdeng?"
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't I... already dead just now?"
