It was like a blade tearing through the air.
Marquis Heiās face froze in shock, sensing that the Nun had already disappeared from in front of him. Immediately after, his body stiffened, feeling a sharp pain emanating from his chest.
So fastĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·
He looked down to see a slender, fair hand protruding from his chest, holding a hot, throbbing, vigorous heart.
"Hmm hmm hmm, Iāve heard that a vampireās heart is stronger than a humanās, and itās the reason for your longevityĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· I wonder if you can survive without a heart."
The Nun spoke with a faint smile, her tone full of laziness, like a quiet morning, just waking up. Then her face turned cold, and she said lightly:
"The original you canāt really be considered a vampire, right? Only after becoming Extraordinary did you become a complete batĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· hmm, is this a case of atavism?"
Marquis Heiās face was filled with terror, sensing his life force rapidly draining away. Even with his extremely strong regenerative ability, he couldnāt counter this drain.
He was about to die.
A flash of red appeared in Marquis Heiās eyes as he turned and swung a sword at the Nunās face, disregarding the wound in his chest.
At the same time.
The blood on his body began to spread like a creeping reptile up the Nunās arm, as if it had its own life force.
"You damn bitch, do you really think you have me cornered?"
Marquis Hei roared in anger, the fear in his eyes vanished, replaced only by fury and defiance.
The gap in their strength wasnāt that huge.
But even a slight difference could mean everything.
A small gap could reveal a chasm as deep as the ocean.
The Nun flicked her wrist, sending Marquis Heiās head flying like a baseball, landing among the crowd, yet the scene was eerily silent, everyone too shocked to move.
She frowned, looking at the unusually viscous blood still spreading on her skin, unaffected by Marquis Heiās death.
This blood seemed to have some sort of life force draining characteristic.
She flicked her wrist, letting the blood splash onto the ground, musing, "Well, he really is a monster."
A vibration came from her phoneāit was an announcement.
[The Nun has killed Marquis Hei head-on, inheriting his title and abilities]
It was a simple message.
She hadnāt expected the forum to announce such thingsĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· was it because Marquis Hei had a title that there was an announcement?
This announcement caused a stir on the forum, Marquis Hei was dead, and he had been killed. He was a person on the kill ranking.
Anyone on the kill ranking was recognized as a human powerhouse in this region, and those at the top were the elite among elites.
So far, Marquis Hei was the first to die among the top ten.
Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·
The Security Bureau gathering place was bustling with people.
Lin Xiuyu sat by the roadside, staring at the message in a daze, and said:
"I heard thereās been an internal conflict within Chenxi. From what we know, Marquis Hei was the rebel, though it probably wasnāt so much a rebellion as a power grabĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· now it seems heās been suppressed."
The middle-aged man with a gray leather hat thought for a moment and said:
"This person called the Nun must be the āNunā, the Apocalypse of Chenxi."
"Apocalypse?"
Lin Xiuyuās eyes flashed with confusion. He didnāt understand this organization very well, only knowing, he continued to say:
"They seem to hardly recruit civilians, and their methods are ruthless. Itās hard to understand how such a seemingly rebellious organization persists."
Chenxi has existed in the mortal world for a long time and remains fairly low-key, but it is an entirely independent organization spanning multiple countries.
Well, you could say theyāre only low-key in Xuan Country.
The middle-aged man wore a look of reminiscence, hinting:
"Existence is reason, andĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· in short, we should try to avoid conflict with them."
Cai Jing suddenly asked, "Leader, whoās stronger, you or this Apocalypse? I feel like you should know them, right?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Cai Jing through his sunglasses and laughed:
"Ha, I should be stronger, but in the post-apocalyptic world, everyoneās strength has increased significantly, so itās hard to sayĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· you only find out by fighting."
Cai Jing paused and then said, "Thereās one more thing, we just got news that a medium-sized gathering place with around a thousand people seems to have more than five Extraordinary."
"More than five?"
The middle-aged man abruptly stood up, looked at her, and asked solemnly, "Are you sure itās five?"
What does it mean to have five Extraordinary, all the Extraordinary in all the Security Bureauās gathering places donāt add up to five.
Lin Xiuyu gasped, saying, "Thatās too exaggerated."
Then he firmly stated, "They must have mastered an unique method, which gathering place specifically is it?"
Cai Jing showed a strange expression and said, "It seems to be the āSelf-Heating Riceā gathering place, and they reportedly performed a mysterious ritual that resulted in some terrifying phenomenaĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and smiled, saying, "Thatās actually a good thing, but if they have truly mastered some method, we must have itĀ·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā· at all costs."
Ā·

The Nun?
Su Changxing remembered this person was the first to kill Screamer and earned a title.
So far, titles donāt seem to serve much purpose, but each title is unique, non-repetitive.
Zhu Wenwu said mockingly, "These people really have too much time on their hands. Instead of fighting amongst themselves, why not go kill Hunters."
Su Changxing nodded in agreement, saying, "It shouldnāt be a simple matter. Under such external pressure, generally speaking, we humans would unite."
The two hadnāt walked far before they saw Zhou An sitting alone on an abandoned car, waiting.
Zhou An saw them and ran over, saying in surprise, "Brother Su, you guys really came from the back. We didnāt run into you earlier."
Su Changxing glanced around and said, "Hmm, this place is indeed strange. Where are the others?"
Zhou An pointed to a nearby building and said, "Theyāre resting inside. Itās easier to maintain a low profile with fewer people, so Iām waiting for you outside."
Su Changxing followed Zhou An towards the building and asked, "You didnāt run into any Hunters, did you?"
Zhou An shook his head, saying, "No, at least I didnāt see any. Anyway, the number of zombies decreased here, and we moved quickly."
Zhou Anās role granted him a certain level of perception ability, but it wasnāt as strong as Zhu Wenwuās. Still, it was mostly sufficient for general situations.
