Chapter 846 - 201: Severance
Seeing that the effect of the three deadly mines was not ideal, Zhu Xin Xue wanted to call Xu Kai back and leave here, realizing that these approaching people were not simple.
Generally, if it were Chenhe’s ordinary army, covered by an a6 explosion, most people within the range would be killed or injured.
She could often judge the opponent’s strength through this method.
"Can’t fight, let’s go!"
Xu Kai seemed not to hear, holding the black longsword, and walked out of the jungle.
His eyes were blood-red, but they gave a clear feeling, allowing people to see his sobriety at first glance.
In such a chaotic world, clarity is a rare quality.
Xu Kai was quite strong among the Tier Eight, but he hadn’t reached the top level, and normally, he wouldn’t be able to handle so many people.
However, this black longsword left by Zhu Wenwu could allow him to gain immense power in a short time.
"Nightingale" saw Xu Kai rushing at them alone, stunned for a moment, looked around to confirm that no one else was appearing, wondering if this person was crazy.
She climbed up from the ground, her left arm bleeding, but the injury wasn’t severe. With a wave of a single hand, a large amount of invisible silk threads dispersed in the air, like light spider silk, forming web after web.
She was also a Tier Eight Extraordinary, and very strong, fairly well-known on this battlefield.
These invisible webs, like spider silk, were extremely tough, difficult to break by physical means. Once stuck, they were hard to shake off and would continuously absorb the target’s life force.
Next, Nightingale’s expression froze as she noticed the black flames in the air burning the surrounding webs to nothing.
As Xu Kai kept moving forward, the black flames kept spreading.
"This is Soul Fire, formed by blood energy, it won’t destroy the body, but it will obliterate the soul."
Xu Kai walked among the corpses, not fast, looked at "Nightingale" with a slight smile, and said.
The two seemed to know each other well from before, hence the eye contact.
"Nightingale" frowned, looking displeased, and said, "You knew I was here?"
Xu Kai licked his dry lower lip with his tongue, shook his head, and said, "I didn’t know originally, but once you got close, I sort of figured it out."
"This must be destiny."
The person in front of him was Chen Qian, a familiar enemy, once his best friend, and one of the reasons he came here this time—to kill this woman.
Once Chen Qian recognized who was in front, she also showed a wary expression. She wasn’t afraid of ordinary people, but this person was different.
He was Su Changxing’s apprentice.
Whether or not she could win was another matter, the question was whether she dared to kill.
Su Changxing left too deep an impression on her, so much that the thought of his name made her tremble uncontrollably.
She knew well, if she killed Xu Kai, even if Su Changxing didn’t trouble her, there would always be someone to settle accounts afterward, regardless of the war’s outcome.
"You don’t need to send yourself to death in front of me, I’ve said I didn’t want to kill you then, and I don’t want to kill you now," Chen Qian coldly said.
Because of the black flames, no one dared to approach Xu Kai, they could only attack from afar, but he dodged them all.
Xu Kai showed anger: "But you killed Ge Yunhua. Today is perfect, let’s settle it."
Not long after the war started, Ge Yunhua encountered Chen Qian on the battlefield, then was personally beheaded by her, his body hung on a dead tree by the Black River, picked apart by vultures, his bones fell into the river.
Chen Qian’s eyes glowed with an eerie light, coldly laughed, "You still know nothing, always self-righteous, it’s not fair... I’ve put in immeasurably more effort than you, yet you can still catch up easily now."
"Xu Kai, I’m really dissatisfied, whether before the doomsday or after, and you’ve never realized what you have is something others can’t achieve no matter how hard they try."
The more she spoke, the more agitated Chen Qian became, even her hair behind her floated in the air.
For those like them who weren’t players initially, achieving Tier Eight Extraordinary is incredibly rare.
None of them are simple.
Before this, Xu Kai never truly realized what kind of person Chen Qian was. She seemed born to perfectly disguise herself, hiding her true feelings, suppressing them.
But the more such suppression occurs, the more twisted it becomes, until when it can’t be contained, it turns into a monster.
"Be careful, even if I don’t kill you, you’ll lose control," Xu Kai casually said, clearly sensing Chen Qian’s twisted spirit.
He raised the black longsword in his hand, his body turned into a shadow, rushed forward, and cut through the three burning invisible webs with a single stroke.
At the same time, three streaks of blood burst from his chest.
As his injuries deepened, his speed increased, his movements became more agile, and in a short time, he slaughtered over a dozen people nearby.
Xu Kai kept advancing while Chen Qian kept retreating.
Seeing Xu Kai so ferocious, Chen Qian felt a wave of fear.
By the time Xu Kai reached Chen Qian, he was covered in blood, his body riddled with wounds large and small:
"I’ve been looking for you all this time and couldn’t find you, it seems you’ve been hiding from me."
Chen Qian’s face turned extremely ugly, curling her lips, and coldly said, "Xu Kai, don’t push me, your current power is strong, I’m no match, your little senior sister is nearby too."
"Let me go, or no one will have a good time today."
Xu Kai’s red long hair draped over his forehead, burning like flames, even from a distance it felt warm, the blood-red in his eyes had faded away, but they were still bloodshot:
"I said we must settle this today, this is perhaps destiny."
His growth was rapid, but stopped abruptly at this point, unable to break through Tier Seven for a long time.
He could feel that if he killed Chen Qian here, there might be such an opportunity.
The next moment, Xu Kai’s figure disappeared from where he stood, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Chen Qian, with black flames, thrusting a sword towards her chest.
His injuries were already severe, but the more severe they were, the stronger his power became.
This was due to the Self-harm Master’s ability.
This kind of ability allowed him to unleash terrifying strength when on the brink of death.
Clang~
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in the ear.
The black longsword was bitten, caught by a mouth that appeared on Chen Qian’s chest.
"I said, don’t push me!"
The hoarse voice came through, sounding hollow, slightly harsh.
"Ge Yunhua was the same, always pushing and pushing me. I didn’t want to kill him!"
Chen Qian’s mouth opened wide, cracking from the corners to the back of her ears, emanating a terrifying aura, her eyes pitch black without pupils.
"Run!" Zhu Xin Xue’s voice came from behind, bringing a large swath of starlight appearing between the two, forming a visible barrier.
Xu Kai realized he still hadn’t seen through Chen Qian, this was her true appearance now.
The crazy pursuit of power always leads to the abyss, falling into endless darkness.
He still didn’t retreat, pulled out the black longsword, swung it to cut again, while blood burst from his abdomen, splattering on the barrier.
