Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 334: The Bloody Hunter

With a strange slide, Slaine effortlessly dodged Qin Ming's charge.

Catching the returning boomerang, Slaine hurled it out again.

A barrage of boomerangs filled the room, ricocheting in all directions, leaving no corner untouched.

Qin Ming and Wolf, enduring the relentless attacks, charged around the room, trying to close the distance with Slaine.

However, Slaine's speed was too great, and his movements were too unpredictable.

Gliding effortlessly through the room, he dodged every skill and attack with ease, moving as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, showing no signs of panic.

The combined assault of two people and three dinosaurs couldn't even touch him!

This was the true strength of the hunting organization's top assassin!

Slaine might not have held the highest position in the organization, but he was undoubtedly the strongest.

His quiet, unassuming nature and lack of emotional expression often made him go unnoticed.

But in terms of actual combat power, Slaine, who had almost perfectly fused with dinosaur genes, was unquestionably the strongest—the undisputed top fighter!

For three to four minutes, Qin Ming and Slaine battled in the narrow confines of the room.

The result? Slaine remained unscathed, and Qin Ming, thanks to his incredible defense, suffered minimal damage.

Wolf, however, wasn't so lucky. Unable to land a hit or keep up with Slaine's movements, he spent the entire time taking hits and was now covered in wounds.

Watching Slaine effortlessly dodge another blood sphere, Qin Ming suddenly stopped and raised his hand to block Wolf, who was about to charge forward.

Before Wolf could speak, Qin Ming shoved him backward.

"Get out!"

"What?"

"Take your dinosaurs and get out! Now!"

"Huh? Okay!"

Confused but obedient, Wolf immediately turned and ran out of the room with his dinosaurs. After all, Qin Ming was the stronger fighter.

This sudden move also caught Slaine off guard.

A seasoned veteran, Slaine didn't fully understand what his opponents were up to, but seeing Wolf and the dinosaurs quickly exit the room, he sensed something was wrong.

Prioritizing safety, he didn't hesitate to bolt toward the window, intending to escape. But as soon as he poked his head out, he was met with a hail of machine gun fire.

Outside, Miles, armed with a light machine gun, had already begun laying down suppressive fire!

Bullets tore through the walls, shredding them and flying into the room.

Slaine's pupils contracted as he dragged his body into a series of rapid evasive maneuvers.

After dodging left and right several times, he easily avoided the bullets, but his brow furrowed in concern.

Suppressive fire? So this was their plan? Not bad, but machine guns are something I can dodge...

Boom!

Before Slaine could finish his thought, a massive explosion erupted from all directions.

In the next moment, under Slaine's shocked gaze and Qin Ming's icy stare, the entire building was engulfed in flames. Neither of them escaped unscathed.

Machine guns? Machine guns were never Qin Ming's trump card!

What Qin Ming had prepared for Slaine was Miles' specialty—C4 explosives!

While the two were locked in combat and Qin Ming realized he couldn't land a hit, Miles had been quietly planting C4 charges outside.

Think you can dodge? Qin Ming wanted to see if Slaine could dodge a massive explosion!

With a deafening roar, the building was reduced to rubble. Watching the intense explosion, Wolf, who had escaped with his dinosaurs, stood dumbfounded.

He had encountered explosive-wielding adventurers before, but this was the first time he'd seen someone so ruthless that they'd blow themselves up along with their enemy.

Is this guy a terrorist in real life? This isn't just ruthless—this is insane!

The S-rank skill, Blood Absorption, had indeed influenced Qin Ming's personality. Even though he had been trying to control his emotions after being warned, the skill had still affected his instincts.

In the past, Qin Ming would never have relied on his toughness to stay in an explosion and fight to the death. His first reaction to danger would never have been to charge headfirst into it.

The immense confidence brought by his two S-rank skills, along with the indirect influence of his abilities on his personality, had made Qin Ming's fighting style increasingly ferocious—even bordering on madness.

Ahead, in the sea of flames, before the echoes of the explosion had even faded, a roar erupted.

As the flames parted, Qin Ming, seizing the opportunity, grabbed Slaine by the neck and began dragging him at high speed.

Skill: Heavenly Slide!

Slaine, engulfed in the explosion, had no way to dodge Qin Ming's sudden assault.

Now, Slaine was severely injured. The simultaneous detonation of multiple C4 charges had left him with nowhere to hide.

The man who had been unscathed moments ago was now covered in wounds.

As for Qin Ming, he wasn't faring much better. After all, the explosives were crafted using an A-rank skill, and their combined destructive power far exceeded Qin Ming's damage reduction limit.

This left Qin Ming heavily injured as well. However, the more injured he became, the more狂暴 (ferocious) the blood within him grew.

It rapidly healed his wounds while urging him to obtain nourishment—by any means necessary.

And that's exactly what Qin Ming was doing now!

Heavenly Slide Triple Dash! Followed by Blood Detonation!

Before Slaine, sent spinning by the explosion, could hit the ground, Qin Ming, sliding rapidly, unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at astonishing speed.

Finally, he grabbed Slaine by the neck with one hand, while the other hand transformed into a blood-powered saw blade, cutting into Slaine's head while simultaneously draining his blood.

This combo, which Qin Ming had used countless times, was brutally simple yet incredibly effective.

Caught off guard by the explosion and forced to endure the full brunt of Qin Ming's assault, Slaine was completely stunned.

Fortunately, his strength stat was still higher than Qin Ming's. Otherwise, unable to break free, he would have been beaten to death!

With a roar, Slaine mustered all his strength and slammed his arm down, forcibly breaking Qin Ming's grip.

Already heavily injured, Slaine didn't wait for Qin Ming to pounce again. His body flickered strangely.

In the next moment, an exact copy of himself appeared beside him!

A-rank Skill: Dinosaur Afterimage! Summon a clone with 50% of the user's stats!

This was Slaine's ultimate trump card, a skill he hadn't fully mastered, which meant the clone's duration was limited.

Unlike the Dinosaur Afterimage from the original storyline, where Slaine, after being killed and resurrected by Dr. Disaster's experiments, could maintain the clone for extended periods, this version was far weaker.

However, even though the clone's duration was short, an A-rank skill was still an A-rank skill.

A clone that could assist in combat and possess half of Slaine's strength was enough to give anyone a headache... except Qin Ming.

Because with half its stats, the clone couldn't even scratch Qin Ming!

Qin Ming's reputation as a "small-fry killer" wasn't for nothing!

Even if there were ten clones, they'd be useless if they couldn't damage Qin Ming!

But Slaine hadn't summoned the clone to fight Qin Ming head-on.

Already injured, he no longer expected to defeat his opponent.

He summoned the clone to create confusion and buy himself time to escape!

Whoosh!

The two Slaines split off in opposite directions, running in different paths. As they ran, they turned and hurled their boomerangs.

The splitting boomerangs mixed together, making it impossible to tell which side they came from.

Forced to retreat and dodge, the group watched as the two Slaines, moving at the same speed, sprinted into the distance. They were completely baffled.

"Boss! Which one do we chase?!"

Wolf wasn't good at thinking, and he knew it. So, he straightforwardly handed the problem to someone else.

Qin Ming, who wasn't particularly skilled at thinking either, handed the problem to his skill.

S-rank Skill: Blood Absorption—Activate!

Buzz!

A ferocious blood mist rapidly spread in all directions. Everyone present, including Miles, had blood forcibly drawn from their bodies.

Ignoring Wolf, who was startled by the sudden move, Qin Ming closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly opened them and shouted.

"This one's real! Chase him!"

The clone could mimic Slaine's strength, but it couldn't mimic his blood.

The side that emitted blood was the real one! Qin Ming's method of identification was that simple!

Activating Heavenly Slide, Qin Ming shot forward dozens of meters, sprinting through the forest at high speed as he pursued the fleeing enemy.

In terms of evasion, Slaine was naturally superior to Qin Ming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to toy with the group earlier.

But when it came to straight-line speed, Qin Ming, with his Heavenly Slide skill, could outpace Slaine three times over.

Combined with the tracking ability of Blood Absorption, as long as Slaine was within a certain range, no matter how he hid or dodged, Qin Ming could follow the blood mist to find him.

High-speed movement! Unique tracking! The two combined turned Qin Ming into a hyena—a starving hyena extremely skilled at hunting prey!

In the forest, Slaine, covered in wounds, was running at high speed, weaving through the trees.

But he hadn't gone far when his steps suddenly halted, and he looked up in shock.

At the same time, above him, a figure leaped onto a tree trunk, blood swirling around him, his eyes glowing red—a terrifying sight.

"Found you, kid!"
