Su Changxingâs heart skipped a beat; he had indeed killed this person just now, yet the opponent continued to attack.
This stark contrast made Su Changxingâs reaction half a beat slower.
"Ta~"
He precisely grabbed the approaching hand of the decapitated person, stepping back heavily two steps.
In the latter half of the attack, the speed of the decapitated man suddenly slowed down.
The force coming from the hand gradually weakened, and the golden light on the decapitated body dimmed as well. He collapsed suddenly, like a machine losing its core power. His flesh started to rapidly disintegrate and decay, turning into a pool of foul-smelling liquid.
Perhaps things that appear bright and radiant on the surface are not necessarily so in essence.
"Sheâs coming."
Jin turned her head to the other side, where Anshan Bridge came charging with a giant longsword.
The brief pause was enough for her to catch up, but the development had already exceeded expectations. Su Changxing and his companion suddenly displayed far stronger combat abilities, killing those who came to intercept them.
Su Changxing drew the Butcherâs Blade from his backpack with a reverse grip, holding it horizontally in front of his chest. The opponentâs momentum was unusually fierce, leaving him with no more options for response.
A semicircular arc of golden sword light swept across in front of Su Changxing, leaving a sword mark over ten meters long on the ground.
"Clang~"
He blocked Anshan Bridgeâs sword, but a massive splash of blood erupted from his body. A deep wound traced from his chest to his abdomen.
Blood splattered on Jinâs pale face, her pupils shrinking sharply as she pointed at Anshan Bridge: "Die~"
A current laced with flames pierced through Anshan Bridgeâs body. She was sent flying back again, this time even closer, with Jinâs attack being stronger.
A blood hole the size of a head appeared in Anshan Bridgeâs abdomen, spilling intestines and other things.
Seeing this, Su Changxing knew the opportunity had come. He drew a pistol and started shooting at Anshan Bridgeâs head.
Golden light covered Anshan Bridgeâs entire body; over ten bullets were deflected, sparking upon hitting the ground.
"Still not working!"
Su Changxingâs gaze sharpened, hurriedly retreating, but it was too lateâanother golden sword light slashed over, with an unstoppable feel.
He neither dodged nor avoided, holding the blade horizontally in front of his chest. Another long sword mark appeared on his chest, bursting with blood.
Anshan Bridgeâs strength wasnât particularly great, almost on par with Su Changxing, but the golden sword lights were unavoidable.
A fine crack spread across the giant longsword, growing larger until the giant sword split into two and flew apart.
The inherent feature of the Butcherâs Blade, "Split Blade," had shattered Anshan Bridgeâs weapon, but at the same time, the Butcherâs Blade was almost broken.
This knife was already old, and it fulfilled its last mission.
Anshan Bridge stared at the broken sword in her hands, momentarily stunned.
Then Su Changxing switched from defense to offense, producing a brand-new steel saber and slashing towards her.
An invisible die spun on a card, six, six, three.
"Swish~"
Two golden sword lights intertwined in the night sky.
Su Changxing stood firm, supporting himself with the steel saber, covered in blood with his eyes emitting a gold light that was about to fade.
In front of him, Anshan Bridge had her head severed by his strike.
[Stolen Golden Blade: An unstoppable blade, with a 120% increase in attack speed, 100% damage, and 100% spread damage when triggered.]
Generally, abilities stolen are weaker, but Su Changxing rolled two sixes this time, making the stolen ability stronger than the original capability of Anshan Bridge, with an additional 20% attack speed.
This 20% was the margin of victory; at the moment Anshan Bridge attacked, he decapitated her.
Anshan Bridgeâs figure was tall, even with a severed head she was taller than Su Changxing. She did not attack further, instead turning to run in the direction where her head rolled, seemingly trying to retrieve it.
Su Changxing, with a cold expression, chased after her with the steel saber and delivered another slash, leaving a golden crescent in its wake.
Anshan Bridgeâs body paused in place, the golden light completely dimmed, then fell to its knees, dark blood gushing out.
"Dead?"
Su Changxing panted heavily, his eyes red with blood and tears streaming down his face. The biggest drawback of the Deceiver was the significant drain when using low-adaptability abilities, coupled with a degree of empathetic experience.
While using Anshan Bridgeâs ability, he saw a golden figure in the void, unclear in appearance, but his instinct told him it was not a so-called Godâat least not to the extent of needing to be looked up to entirely.
"We should leave first; others might come to intercept us."
Su Changxing turned back to confirm; Jin should be uninjured. But interestingly, Jinâs face did not have "corpse spots," whereas Shen Jinxuan and Shen Xuan did.
The three theoretically shared the same body, yet exhibited different degrees of transformation into corpses.
Jin observed the rapidly decaying corpse on the ground, saying: "Sheâs not dead, still alive."
"Hmm?"
Su Changxing paused, asking, "Whatâs going on?"
Jin tilted her head, thinking and saying: "She ran away, like a rat."
This should indeed be Shen Jinxuanâs ability; she can perceive othersâ deaths and even foresee them briefly in advance.
Su Changxing pondered for a moment and asked: "Can you perceive other peopleâs deaths?"
Jin nodded, saying succinctly: "Yes, I can, so she must have run away."
So thatâs the logic.
This was originally Jinâs ability, or was it borrowed from Shen Jinxuan, yet saying this seems moot since they are essentially the same person.
Su Changxing frowned, sensing trouble, not knowing how the other managed to escapeâsomewhat abstract, as if they were NPCs in a game and the other was the player.
Su Changxing didnât rest, dragging his bloodied body, running at a moderate pace outward, worried about prolonged danger.
After all, this was a task specially given by the Doomsday System, not to be taken lightly.
Jin wore an exaggerated smile, appearing relaxed, lying on Su Changxingâs back, saying:
"I hate those people; letâs kill them all."
Su Changxing glanced at her, retorting: "Youâre already in this state, arenât you afraid of dying in there?"
"Letâs talk about it when Iâm about to die."
Jin said carelessly, drawing something with her hands.
She truly wasnât afraid of death.
Su Changxing genuinely felt Jinâs fearless nature, seeming to understand more deeply than the average person, just different in perspective.
"Thereâs an even more serious issue: your condition wonât necessarily improve by going out... you might end up becoming a zombie."
Su Changxing spoke solemnly, hoping Jin would take it seriously.
He recalled a previously foreseen image, unsure if it was real.
A girl on the verge of turning into a zombie.
