Chapter 10: Cursed Technique Reversal 「Red」
Although he knew the gnome on the big man's back was definitely a problem, the Spatial Blade's speed was too fast. Even the Six Eyes' dynamic vision couldn't capture it.
Despite trying his best to dodge, Su Mu was still severely injured, almost cut in half at the waist.
He immediately stretched his hand forward, using "Blue" to create an attractive force behind the large man.
The immense attractive force pulled the large man backward. The already crumbling wall could no longer withstand the huge pressure and shattered.
The large man was also sent flying into the shop behind him, causing numerous customers to scream.
This kind of uncharged attack couldn't harm the large man at all. Even the gnome on his back was well-protected by him, completely unharmed.
The large man climbed up, brushed the dust off his body, ignored the surrounding civilians, and looked at Su Mu, who was bleeding profusely from his chest and abdomen. He smiled cruelly:
"Foolish guy. That was a spatial slash. Let's see you deal with that!"
With that, he walked toward Su Mu, preparing to fulfill his promise: break Su Mu's limbs and then send him to Colonel Stryker.
As for whether Colonel Stryker would blame him if Su Mu died, that was impossible.
Colonel Stryker hated mutants. How could he be angry over the death of a tool?
...
On a nearby rooftop, two groups were in a standoff.
One side was the X-Men's Cyclops and Storm. The other was the Brotherhood of Mutants' Juggernaut and Mystique.
The two sides had encountered each other while searching for Su Mu and had gotten into a dispute.
Cyclops had his hand on his visor, ready to remove it at any moment and attack Juggernaut and Mystique with the laser beams from another dimension.
He said coldly, "Su Mu is new blood for mutants. He absolutely cannot be brainwashed by you!"
Mystique stood behind Juggernaut, dodging the beams that could come at any time.
Hearing Cyclops's words, she retorted: "Mutants are the superior race. Humans are just ants. An outstanding mutant like Su Mu should join the Brotherhood. We will lead him down the correct path!"
"The correct path? Is that destroying things everywhere like terrorists?"
Just as the atmosphere grew more intense, Storm suddenly broke the tension, "Look, Su Mu doesn't seem to be in a good situation!"
Everyone present was drawn by Storm's words. The purpose of their trip was to recruit Su Mu. If something happened to him, this operation would end in failure.
They looked down and saw the scene of Su Mu being nearly cut in half by the Spatial Blade.
"What?!"
They hadn't expected that while they were arguing, their target was about to be killed by Stryker's men!
Even if Su Mu's performance hadn't met their expectations, the mutant they wanted to recruit was about to be killed. This was unacceptable to all of them.
Cyclops was already preparing to take off his visor, Storm's hair began to float, her pupils turned white, and Juggernaut took a charging stance.
They had to save Su Mu before the large man killed him.
Although the injury was severe, there were mutants with healing abilities, and with the power of technology, as long as he was treated in time, he could be healed.
However, the scene that unfolded next made them stop their actions, staring in shock at the heavily injured Su Mu!
He actually had other mutant abilities!
...
The large man sneered and walked slowly toward Su Mu.
He prepared to break Su Mu's limbs and then deliver him to Colonel Stryker.
Colonel Stryker had many mutants imprisoned, including some with healing abilities. As long as Su Mu was still breathing, he could be saved.
As for dying on the way, so be it. Colonel Stryker wanted mutants stronger than him; a mutant he defeated had no value!
But, he only took a few steps before he stopped, pointing at Su Mu in utter shock.
"You... you, how is that possible? Why have your injuries already healed?!"
Just now, the distance was a bit far, and the dust raised by the collapsing wall obstructed his view, so the large man didn't see Su Mu's specific situation.
Now, walking out of the dust and coming closer to Su Mu, he saw the wound on Su Mu's waist—the one that had nearly cut him in half—recovering at an extremely fast rate.
By the time he stopped, the last trace of the wound had just finished healing completely.
He stared in disbelief at the white-haired man before him. A terrifying spatial defense, a fearsome black-hole-like attack, impressive physical fitness, and now, an extremely strong self-healing ability...
Is this really a mutant?
Even Magneto or Professor X aren't this powerful, are they!
Could it be—he's the legendary Level 5 mutant!
The situation suddenly reversed. Under the excited gazes of Cyclops and the other mutants, the fearful gazes of the soldiers, and the terrified gaze of the large man, Su Mu grinned again:
"I've changed my mind. Even if you cry and apologize now, I won't spare your life!"
"You..."
The large man looked at Su Mu, and for a moment, he didn't dare to step forward.
His trump card was the gnome's spatial attack. It was the only ability that could break 9527's defense.
And once that ability was ineffective, he was no longer 9527's opponent.
He immediately lifted the gnome from his shoulder with one hand, held him up, and roared, "Hurry up and use Spatial Blade again! Kill him for me!"
The Spatial Blade clearly took a huge toll on the gnome. After just one use, his whole body was trembling, and his face was pale.
But under pressure from the large man, the gnome released another Spatial Blade at Su Mu.
The gnome's Spatial Blade had a massive cost, but its power was equally massive, and its speed was astonishing.
This time, Su Mu was already prepared, but he was still hit. One arm, along with his shoulder, was almost severed.
But with the help of the Reverse Cursed Technique, his injury recovered at an extremely fast rate!
This time, the large man witnessed the entire process of Su Mu's recovery. Watching Su Mu heal a fatal wound in just over ten seconds, all fighting spirit vanished from his eyes.
He immediately threw the gnome in his hand at Su Mu and fled into the distance, ordering the surrounding soldiers, "Stop him for me!"
The large man no longer had any courage to face Su Mu. He chose to run.
Although failing the mission would result in severe punishment from Colonel Stryker, there was still a slim chance of survival, which was better than facing this monster!
Watching the gnome fly toward him, Su Mu observed with his Six Eyes. He could no longer release a Spatial Blade.
So, he stretched out his hands. Under the gnome's despairing gaze, a terrifying pressure completely shredded his body. A large amount of blood splattered onto the ground. He couldn't even let out a scream.
But not a single drop of blood landed on Su Mu. The blood splashing toward him floated in the air, just like the bullets, unable to get near him.
Su Mu then looked in the large man's direction. A large number of heavily armed soldiers were firing wildly at him, while the large man had already run quite far.
If he ignored them, the large man would definitely escape. So, he made a decision.
He raised his index finger, aiming it in the large man's direction, and said calmly, "Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
