Unable to discern the difference in strength

It was Wang Tong standing outside the door?

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, a hint of wariness flashing through his mind.

From the moment we gathered outside the city early in the morning, Wang Tong had been hostile towards me.

They went into the mine to steal points and frame others.

This guy didn't show the slightest bit of goodwill from beginning to end.

Why are you apologizing so late at night?

If the sun rises in the west, is it possible for such a despicable person to truly repent?

"A weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken."

Lin Mo sneered inwardly.

Ye Xue also scoffed.

"Tsk, looks like he's got your eye on you now. You're in for some trouble."

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Lin Mo.

As the Demon King, she naturally knew how to completely resolve this problem.

But Lin Mo is, after all, a brave man.

A brave person who always acts under the banner of "greatness, glory, and righteousness" would not do this.

However, Lin Mo said calmly, "There won't be a future."

With all attributes approaching two thousand, what does that mean?

He was certain that, apart from the man named Bai Rong, no one in the entire city lord's mansion was his match.

Including that level 20-something city lord of Fano.

Wang Tong, a mere level 10?

No matter what methods he uses, I can break his neck before he can act.

Lin Mo asked himself if he was a bloodthirsty person, but he was also not a saint who repays evil with kindness.

Wang Tong's repeated provocations can now be eliminated.

Since the other party has come to us willingly, we might as well get rid of them while we're at it, which will save us a lot of trouble later.

So he said to the door, "Oh, it's Wang Tong. Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."

Yin Xue became instantly interested when he saw Lin Mo's appearance, and leaned back on the bed with his legs crossed, ready to watch the show.

The latch was pulled open, making a slight scraping sound.

Lin Mo opened the door and saw Wang Tong standing outside.

He changed out of his daytime leather armor and into a plain dark cloth outfit.

His hair was a little messy, and his face looked tired and haggard.

"Brother Lin, Lin Mo, you've finally opened the door!"

Wang Tong's voice was deliberately lowered and trembled slightly.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late... I just... I just wanted to apologize to you in person. I... I was just confused before... I hope you won't hold it against me, Brother Lin Mo..."

He spoke quickly, and his words sounded quite sincere.

He even bent down slightly, adopting a very humble posture.

If someone didn't know the truth, they might actually be fooled by his sudden repentance.

But Lin Mo just watched him perform quietly.

They neither forgave nor refused.

She just stared at Wang Tong quietly, which made Wang Tong feel increasingly terrified, and cold sweat seeped out from his back.

At this moment, Wang Tong was indeed panicked, but more than that, he felt a kind of madness driven by being forced into a desperate situation.

He was restless and anxious ever since he returned to the city lord's mansion.

Teacher Su Lin's disgusted look.

The disdain and isolation from other heroes.

Most importantly, Lin Mo's overwhelming strength and Bai Rong's offer of a helping hand...

All of this was like poisonous needles repeatedly pricking his pride and reason.

The discovery of Zhao Qian's body made him even more frightened.

Captain Bai Rong wants to personally perform the autopsy!

That's the captain of the White Tiger Knights!

Experienced and highly capable!

Could my crude method of killing really fool him?

……

Wang Tong was certain that his actions would be exposed the moment it was light tomorrow morning.

This is murder! And by a hero at that! He could go to jail!

In a single day, he went from a genius hero to a murderer...

He blamed it all on Lin Mo.

It's all because of this guy who suddenly appeared!

Without him, I would undoubtedly be number one.

The one who gets the essence will be the first to break through the level 10 bottleneck!

To receive an invitation from the White Tiger Knights!

Teacher Su Lin might also look at herself in a new light!

All because of Lin Mo's appearance, he had lost everything.

Rather than being exposed tomorrow, I'd rather... take him down with me!

With his remaining money, he bought the specially made crossbow from a familiar adventurer.

This crossbow is small in size, making it easy to conceal.

However, both the crossbow arm and bowstring have undergone special treatment, resulting in short crossbow bolts with extremely strong penetrating power.

At close range, it is enough to threaten professionals below level 15 with insufficient protection.

Wang Tong still remembered the damage he caused when he stabbed Lin Mo with all his might in the mine.

He judged that even if Lin Mo broke through level 10, his level wouldn't be too high.

If this crossbow bolt hits a vital spot, it will definitely be fatal!

At this moment, looking into Lin Mo's calm gaze that seemed to know everything.

The last bit of hope and hesitation in Wang Tong's heart vanished.

All that's left is a frenzied, self-destructive act.

He was still muttering apologies, but his body subtly adjusted its angle.

In the brief moment before his words had even finished, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!

"You bastard! Go to hell!"

He uttered that sound almost hoarsely.

It sounded especially jarring in the quiet corridor at night!

at the same time.

His right hand, which had been hanging by his side, was swiftly pulled out from behind his back.

He held the crossbow in his hand.

He hardly aimed, nor did he need to at such close range.

As the trigger was pulled, the mechanism clicked, and the bowstring vibrated!

Whoosh-!

The short but sharp crossbow bolts whistled through the air.

It shot straight at Lin Mo's neck!

This sudden change was extremely unexpected; if it were any other professional player around level 10...

At such close range, without any warning, one could easily fall victim to an attack, resulting in either death or serious injury.

However, Lin Mo is not an ordinary professional.

Just as a fierce glint flashed in Wang Tong's eyes.

The agility attribute of up to 1933 points brings extraordinary neural reactions and dynamic vision.

But after realizing Wang Tong's attack method, Lin Mo had no interest in dodging at all.

laugh.

The crossbow bolt grazed Lin Mo's neck, creating a barely perceptible gust of air.

Not even the slightest white mark was left.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The expression on Wang Tong's face, a mixture of madness and resentment, froze instantly.

This then turned into unbelievable shock and fear.

His pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

The hand holding the empty crossbow began to tremble violently.

"This...how is this possible?!"

He cried out, his voice distorted with extreme horror.

"I was in the mine... I could have... I could have hurt you! My gun..."

He mumbled incoherently.

He frantically tried to reload the crossbow with bolts.

His movements were clumsy due to fear, and he failed to get the crossbow bolts into the slot several times.

Lin Mo looked at his disheveled and terrified appearance.

The last trace of warmth in his eyes vanished, leaving only pure coldness.

He said calmly, "You mean the one you injured in the mine? That was my clone, with only 20% of my attributes."

A seemingly casual remark struck Wang Tong like a thunderclap!

Twenty percent of the attributes?!

Does that clone possess that level of defense and reaction?

How high must Lin Mo's physical attributes be?

Wang Tong's mind went blank; he was completely unable to comprehend this reality that was beyond his comprehension.

All he knew was that his desperate sneak attack might seem like a child's clumsy trick to the enemy.

"No...no way! You're lying to me!"

Extreme fear breeds final madness.

Wang Tong roared as he finally managed to load the second crossbow bolt.

He raised the crossbow again, and without regard for anything else, aimed it at Lin Mo's face, ready to pull the trigger.

This time, Lin Mo didn't give him any chance.

A flash of dark light appeared, faster than Wang Tong's visual perception could capture!

Click!

A slight cracking sound was heard.

The crossbow bolt, which had just been cocked, was severed in two by a smooth cut.

The dark sword light did not linger, but swept past Wang Tong's neck.

The crazed expression on Wang Tong's face suddenly froze.

He felt his vision suddenly begin to tilt and rotate.

At the same time, a light, weightless feeling came over me.

His last conscious thought was of seeing a headless body wearing familiar clothes, standing stiffly in place.

Hot, red liquid gushed from his neck.

Then, endless darkness swallowed everything.

boned...

Wang Tong's head fell onto the wooden floor and rolled several times.

The shock and bewilderment on his face had not completely faded.

It finally stopped in the corner, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Lin Mo stared at his corpse with icy eyes: "An idiot who can't understand the difference in strength."
