Chapter 219 Your Experience
Just as Su Ming was about to fall into despair, he suddenly realized that the attacker's movements were beginning to slow. Perhaps due to the prolonged battle, the attacker's physical strength and reflexes were gradually affected. Su Ming's heart was shocked and he quickly adjusted his strategy, shifting the focus of his attack to the opponent's weaknesses, trying to break the attacker's defenses through continuous attacks.
"I can't lose!" Su Ming shouted in his heart. His arms were numb, but he remained steadfast. Every swing of his sword was filled with power, and every move and technique he employed was a testament to his full potential.
The man clearly felt the pressure; his movements became impatient, and the rhythm of his attacks became erratic. Su Ming didn't miss this opportunity, his dagger stabbing at the man's vulnerable spot like lightning. At that moment, the man's body jerked sideways, and Su Ming's dagger grazed his shoulder, leaving a bloody wound.
The man groaned, a flicker of pain crossing his face, but he quickly regained his composure. His eyes sharpened, and a sinister smile curled his lips. "You have great potential, but it's far from enough."
Su Ming felt a sinking feeling within him. This remark seemed like a final provocation. He knew this battle wasn't just a test of skill, but also a psychological one. He needed absolute focus to achieve victory in this fierce battle.
Old Zhang watched from the sidelines, his expression still impassive, but the assessment in his eyes was no longer as indifferent as before. There was a hint of recognition and anticipation in his gaze, as if Su Ming's performance had touched him. However, this emotion was not reflected in his words. Old Zhang maintained his calm demeanor, as if all this was as it should be.
The visitor raised his head and looked at Lao Zhang, with a hint of amusement in his voice: "It seems that you haven't experienced such excitement for a long time."
Lao Zhang's expression changed slightly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes: "You have no way to escape. What happens next will determine your fate."
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened again. He knew this battle was far from over. The enemy before him wasn't just an individual, but part of an unfathomable conspiracy. He had to adapt quickly and adjust his strategy to achieve victory in the upcoming battle.
At this moment, the basement wall suddenly vibrated violently, as if something was constantly hitting it. Su Ming and Lao Zhang's eyes involuntarily turned to the source of the vibration, and their expressions became solemn.
"It seems that we are in bigger trouble." There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in Lao Zhang's voice. His eyes quickly swept across every corner of the basement, as if looking for something.
Su Ming's heart was filled with doubt and unease. He knew that this tremor might mean that some uncontrollable danger was approaching. His intuition told him that the situation before him was more complicated and more dangerous than he had imagined. He had to react quickly to survive this storm.
"We must leave here immediately!" Su Ming whispered to Lao Zhang, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Old Zhang nodded, a flicker of determination in his eyes. With swift and precise movements, he began clearing the basement, preparing to find a safe exit. Su Ming followed closely behind Old Zhang, his heart filled with uncertainty about the future and anxiety about the current situation.
Their actions were swift and decisive, but Su Ming's heart was still turbulent. He knew that this battle was just the tip of the iceberg, and the challenges ahead were far from over. He must remain vigilant to find his own way out of this unfathomable conspiracy.
The mission didn't get off to a smooth start. Su Ming dug up the few records he could find about the veteran agent in the organization's archives, but they were extremely vague, lacking even a specific address or contact information. The only clue was an old photograph. The man in the photo wore worn sunglasses, his face obscured by shadows, his features blurred. The background was blurry, as if taken in some exotic location.
Su Ming's first step was to search for clues in the photos. He spent three days interviewing several veteran intelligence agents before finally zeroing in on a street corner in the photo, a dilapidated old town. He headed there and began his long pursuit.
The streets of the old town are narrow and winding, steeped in the vicissitudes of history. Su Ming spent weeks visiting every dilapidated shop and chatting with nearly every longtime resident. Finally, a tip from an antique shop owner led him to a suspicious name: "Uncle Liu." Uncle Liu was said to have settled here decades ago, but few knew his past. When he did, it was with a touch of awe and mystery.
After further inquiries, Su Ming learned that Uncle Liu now lived in a remote cottage in the suburbs. Nestled among the trees, the cottage was serene and secluded, seemingly cut off from the outside world. It was already a misty morning when Su Ming arrived. He knocked on the rusty wooden door and waited almost half an hour before it creaked open.
Behind the door stood an elderly man, silver-haired, thin, his face lined with age. His eyes were deep and alert, as if he could see through Su Ming's identity at a glance.
"Who are you?" The old agent's voice was low and cold.
Su Ming took a deep breath and handed over a letter—a letter of introduction specially prepared by the organization for this mission. The old agent took it, glanced at it, and impatiently tore it into pieces.
"Go back. I'm no longer involved in those dirty dealings." He turned and was about to close the door.
Su Ming expected a refusal, but he couldn't give up. He thrust his hand out to block the door and said, "Sir, you may be tired of these things, but the world outside has changed dramatically. The enemy is no longer the simple opponent they once were. Your experience and your wisdom are something I must learn from."
The old agent smiled coldly and stopped closing the door, seeming to be slightly interested in Su Ming's persistence.
"Learn? Do you think the skills of an agent can be learned casually? Do you know what you are facing?" The old agent's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through Su Ming.
Su Ming didn't flinch. He looked the old agent in the eye firmly. "I know how dangerous this path is, and I know my shortcomings. But without your guidance, I might not survive the next mission."
These words seemed to touch the old agent. He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. But remember, my training won't be easy. If you can't hold on, I won't show mercy."
