When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
"Chance!"
The commentator spoke very quickly: "Jiang Qing's attack, combined with his teammates', made it impossible for the Lotus City support to forcibly seal him. They could only defend themselves. Now Jiang Qing's third extraordinary ability has been released!"
"We all know that this extraordinary ability is extremely terrifying. In many cases, it can directly turn the situation into a huge advantage!"
After those steel-wire-like rays of light shattered, the "picture" on the field was distorted for a moment, and then Qiu Hou, who had successfully resisted the attack, suddenly fell to the ground.
Xu Zhi looked up at Jiang Qing. Above the other's closed eyes, there was a ball of golden light as big as her eyes floating in the center of her forehead. When Xu Zhi's [Prying Eyes] touched this ball of light, her vision was distorted for a moment, as if she saw fragments of the long river of "time", and as if she was in the constant flow of time.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and the next second, she saw the true nature of this ability.
After Jiang Qing activates this extraordinary ability, he can select one person as the target, use the present as the time node, read the other person's "future state" within an hour, and select one of the nodes to let "him in the future" come to the present.
The duration is two minutes.
What she chose was to bring Qiu Hou, who would be seriously injured later in this fight, to the present moment.
This ability has many limitations, and the selectable targets even include oneself. In other words, even if Jiang Qing is in a desperate situation, he can still have a brief "last gasp". However, this ability consumes a lot of extraordinary abilities and has a CD. According to the rhythm of the league, it can only be used once in a game.
The league has many restrictions, but a game can basically be completed within half an hour, which means that even if this ability can only be used once, it can still play a decisive role in the league.
Jiang Qing almost always used it to disintegrate the point of the opposing team that she thought was the most troublesome. Her current action was that she believed that Qiu Hou was the most troublesome point in this game.
She didn't even choose Chu Xiaoyue.
“That’s what big city arrogance is all about.”
Xu Zhi sighed slightly, and Jian Fei, who had been blocking her way like a roadblock, no longer cared about her. He turned around and rushed towards the three people in the back row of Liancheng.
Qiu Hou was temporarily seriously injured and fell to the ground. They wanted to turn his temporary injury into a real serious injury during the period when Qiu Hou was seriously injured!
Except for Jiang Qing and the member with the [Heart] attribute from Lingzhou Guangmingyuan, the remaining three all attacked towards the back row of Liancheng. Although Jiang Qing did not arrive, his extraordinary abilities were always supporting his teammates.
The situation reversed instantly, and Liancheng Guangmingyuan seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage in just a few seconds. Chu Xiaoyue had to return to defense. After all, the only one with the frontal combat power in the back row was Shu Yushan. Although Su Ran had combat ability, it was more important for him to protect his teammates.
They must protect Qiu Hou before the time for Jiang Qing's third supernatural power settlement arrives!
When all teammates chose to retreat and the opponents were chasing them closely, only Xu Zhi went against the flow. Her target was obviously Jiang Qing!
"We saw a magical scene on the court. The first-year player from Liancheng didn't choose to retreat to defense, but instead went deep into the opponent's formation. It seemed that she was trying to single out Jiang Qing?"
Are you kidding?
【You're crazy.】
[I admit that she doesn't seem to be lagging behind in her operations so far, but what is she doing now? Is she out of her mind?]
Not only was the commentary's tone filled with doubt, but the audience was also unable to understand Xu Zhi's thoughts.
But Xu Zhi knew that if Chu Xiaoyue returned to defense and he held Jiang Qing back, there would be no problem. Only if he also returned to defense instead of putting pressure on Jiang Qing would there be problems.
Besides, her purpose was not just to delay Jiang Qing.
She thought about it and did not choose to release Xiaoyi right now. At this moment, the competition was not yet at the end of its rope for them and she had to give her all.
So Xu Zhi just held the knife and rushed straight towards Jiang Qing in the surprised eyes of everyone in Lingzhou.
This time, no one stopped her because they had more important tasks and didn't think Xu Zhi could do anything to Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing's usual weapon is also a long sword. At this moment, she is holding a long sword with an extremely thin and slightly transparent blade. It seems quite fragile, but any weapon forged from extraordinary materials should not be judged by its appearance.
Jiang Qing's attention was mostly on the battle, helping her teammates attack Qiu Hou. When she saw Xu Zhi rushing towards her, she was not without her guard, but she still had the support of teammates with the [Heart] attribute, so she did not feel like she was facing a powerful enemy.
So, under the watchful eyes of the public, in the most popular live broadcast of the league finals, the core players of the Lingzhou team, which was hailed as the team with the greatest hope of winning the championship, faced off against the "overconfident" first-year players in a calm and unhurried manner.
At least, she seemed calm at the moment.
Jiang Qing was not careless or negligent. She did not even underestimate Xu Zhi. She valued Xu Zhi more than any other teammate. However, she was indeed focusing more on Qiu Hou at the moment.
When Xu Zhi was about to run in front of her, she knew that Xu Zhi's eyes could see through her extraordinary attack, so she did not waste energy on blocking the opponent, but planned to wait for close combat and use melee attacks to subdue Xu Zhi as soon as possible.
However, she saw the girl's light gray eyes meeting hers, and then she whispered two words as if jokingly:
"Don't move."
Although she spoke in jest, her body suddenly froze at that moment.
The cold long knife pierced into the chest, penetrated the beating heart, and brought the breath of death.
After piercing the chest, the distance between her and the girl holding the knife in both hands was shortened a lot. She saw that there was no joy on the other party's face because of the "hit", but some dissatisfaction.
"You really weren't on guard against me."
It turns out that he was dissatisfied with this.
The moment she finished speaking, the girl suddenly drew out her knife and quickly dodged, and a faint light seemed to appear where she had originally stood.
Jiang Qing raised her hand and gently covered the penetrating wound on her chest. Her teammate's [heart] attribute ability was taking effect. This simple stab wound would not have much impact on her, but it would not have no effect at all.
She looked at Xu Zhi in front of her, and a hint of surprise appeared in her golden pupils.
"I won't do that again. Was that your ability just now?"
Many possibilities flashed through Jiang Qing's mind. She was trying to analyze the scope and limitations of Xu Zhi's ability, which was almost like "word spirit", from the brief contact.
Jiang Qing broke free from the [Curse] at a speed that Xu Zhi had expected. Hearing her probing question, Xu Zhi did not answer, but just slightly turned the blade in his hand and stabbed at the [Light] attribute extraordinary person again.
It was an unexpected match. No one thought that Xu Zhi could pose any threat to Jiang Qing, but she gave Jiang Qing a chill right from the start. Even if he couldn't hear the commentator, Xu Zhi could imagine the commentator's exclamation after seeing this scene. But, this was just the beginning.
Even if both of them have the [Light] attribute, conflicts will arise when other people's extraordinary attributes enter their bodies. The first attack was just a test, and Xu Zhi did not use his full strength, but after confirming the extent of Jiang Qing's resistance to the [Curse], Xu Zhi no longer held back.
The sharp blade flew through the air, aiming directly at Jiang Qing's slender neck. The speed was so fast that Jiang Qing, who was in the field, realized that he could not avoid the knife, so he could only block it.
--clang!
There was a crisp collision sound, followed by Jiang Qing's expression suddenly changing.
What a damn strength!
Is this reasonable?
She is also a lamp, why doesn’t she have such strong power?
Moreover, Jiang Qing looked at Xu Zhi's arm holding the knife. It was very steady. Despite such a strong force, there was not the slightest tremor. Logically, this arm should have been unable to exert any strength after being penetrated by her ability.
But now, some blood still remains on the skin, but the wound has disappeared without a trace.
Powerful self-healing ability and even more powerful strength, is this person in front of me really the [Lamp]?
A glimmer of light flashed across Xu Zhi's wrist holding the knife. She quickly raised her wrist to avoid it, but it was still cut, revealing a bone-deep wound.
The moment the blood was pumped out, Xu Zhi saw Jiang Qing's gaze fall on his wrist, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Maybe she was wondering why he didn't just cut off her hand bones.
But even if the hand bones were not severed, a wound across the wrist that cut through the flesh and blood would be horrifying enough. However, Xu Zhi seemed to be unconscious, still holding the knife with a smile on his face and chopped down heavily at Jiang Qing!
Jiang Qing could even see the blood splattering in the air as she moved fiercely, and when she raised her sword to barely block it, the already deep wound was pumped out with a large amount of blood because she used too much force!
Doesn't this person feel pain and have no basic human physiological reactions?
Jiang Qing was very puzzled.
The next moment, Xu Zhi said, "Before my extraordinary energy is exhausted, the effect of your domain will be reduced by half."
Xu Zhi wanted to just say that it didn't work, but she found she couldn't say it.
[Spell] The current level was not enough to directly invalidate the domain-type supernatural power, so she had to settle for the second best and reduce the effect of the domain by half.
The moment the words came out, it was as if some kind of rule was fulfilled, or like a seal. At this moment, Jiang Qing also felt that he was weakened.
Originally, with the presence of Chu Xiaoyue, she needed to fight against the opponent's domain, but she would not be at a disadvantage. However, she could not kill Qiu Hou quickly for a while. Now Xu Zhi suddenly weakened her by half. In an instant, she could no longer fight against Chu Xiaoyue's domain. Without her support, it would be impossible for her teammates to kill Qiu Hou in Chu Xiaoyue's domain.
Jiang Qing realized that she might have made the wrong choice.
The most difficult person in Liancheng Guangming Academy might be the first-year student in front of him.
It's too late to make amends. She can only use Advent once. The best way now is to kill this first-year student!
"Xiaoling!"
She shouted, and her teammates with the [Heart] attribute behind her immediately understood what she meant. Although they could not match her in sheer strength, the extraordinary energy in her body was abundant enough, and she had the support of her teammates. She did not believe that this first-year's extraordinary energy reserves could suppress her domain all the time.
In fact, Xu Zhi was indeed constantly consuming a large amount of extraordinary energy in order to suppress Jiang Qing's domain, but the extraordinary energy reserves in her body were enough to at least finish this game.
"incredible!"
The tone of the commentary is no longer exaggerated for the sake of exaggeration, but is full of true feelings.
"Now the situation has reversed again. From the data, we can see that this first-year contestant from Liancheng possesses an ability similar to the Word Spirit. Now, she has successfully used this ability to suppress contestant Jiang Qing's domain, giving the other contestants in Liancheng a lot of breathing space, and even suppressing several members of Lingzhou!"
"Although Jiang Qing seems to be in good shape, Xu Zhi's wrist is injured. However, based on Xu Zhi's performance in this match, the outcome is still uncertain!"
Along with the commentary, Jiang Qing in the picture took the initiative to attack, choosing to use his extraordinary abilities and his own physical skills to try to kill Xu Zhi.
Although her speed and strength are not as good as Xu Zhi, she still has extraordinary energy to support her.
However, what surprised Jiang Qing was why the fighting style of this girl named Xu Zhi was so barbaric?
Yes, she felt it was quite appropriate to call it barbaric.
Although there are shadows of traditional swordsmanship in each move, it relies more on brute force and speed to "smash" down directly.
The base of Jiang Qing's right hand, which was holding the sword, had already cracked, and blood was dripping down her wrist onto the ground. If it weren't for her teammate with the [Heart] attribute, her hand bones would have been completely broken. Even so, her finger bones became numb due to the excessive impact force. She even had to distract herself from holding the sword, something that was once as easy as breathing to her, to ensure that her numb hand would not lose its grip on the sword!
And Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi was the monster that puzzled her the most. Sometimes, Xu Zhi would even take some attacks that she thought were unnecessary. It seemed like she was too lazy to dodge such unknown injuries. Rather than not getting hurt, she wanted to make sure that her attacks could hit!
".Are you some kind of monster?"
Jiang Qing's words were very close to him, and Xu Zhi, who had just struck a knife, heard it.
Without the obstruction of her glasses, the girl's light grey eyes, which seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, were clearly visible. In those pupils, there was no nervousness about the game, no concern for her teammates, and no pain after being injured. They were only filled with a kind of joy that Jiang Qing could not understand, and a little bloodlust that had just emerged from the battle.
"Um?"
Immersed in a long-awaited battle, Xu Zhi didn't seem to hear what she said clearly. With a smile on his beautiful blood-spattered face, he tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion. Then he raised his wrist holding the knife again, ready to take advantage of Jiang Qing's weakness and pursue her.
"Don't even think about it!"
A voice came from behind. It was the [Heart] attribute contestant. She rushed out with a standard long sword. The appearance of the sword was not much different from the one in Xu Zhi's hand.
Xu Zhi dodged, blinking his gray misty eyes. He wasn't displeased by the interruption, but instead smiled wider: "That's fine."
Jiang Qing was alone, but she was not strong enough to fight him.
Xiaoling, who rushed over, felt a chill in her heart for no reason. When Xu Zhi continued to approach Jiang Qing with that almost brutal attack method, she felt frightened just by watching.
The reason she rushed over was that she saw that Jiang Qing was momentarily exhausted, so she rushed over in a fit of rage.
But now, facing Xu Zhi, Xiaoling actually felt a little difficulty breathing.
It was as if he was not facing a girl a few years younger than him, but a ferocious beast hiding under human skin.
No, beast is not enough to describe it. It should be a terrifying monster hiding in the fog, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing, emitting a terrifying aura.
Xiaoling involuntarily took a step back, and it was this step that made Xu Zhi look a little unhappy. The knife in his hand chopped down directly with the owner's momentary unhappiness!
"Xiaoling!"
Jiang Qing saw that her [heart] seemed to have seen something terrifying and its movements became slow, so she had to speak out to remind it.
——Bang bang bang!
It was the sound of Xiaoling barely blocking Xu Zhi's attack, but retreating with heavy steps.
When she raised her head again, the fear in Xiaoling's eyes disappeared, revealing a bit of determination.
"Even if you really are a monster, I won't let you defeat me so easily!"
What? Such a hot-blooded, middle school-age line.
Am I some kind of villain?
Xu Zhi sneered and raised his knife again. Without even looking at Jiang Qing, he chopped towards Xiaoling, completely concerned with his own feelings.
"not good."
Jiang Qing saw Xu Zhi's slightly widened eyes and realized that Xu Zhi had poured all his strength into this attack, and Xiaoling was not able to take it head-on!
She immediately released an extraordinary energy attack in the path that Xu Zhi had to pass, and then took a deep breath.
She was already exhausted from the confrontation with Xu Zhi, and she had to maintain the existence of the domain throughout the whole process and output extraordinary abilities from time to time. In addition, the previous arrival had already consumed a lot of her extraordinary energy.
At this moment, Jiang Qing found himself feeling powerless for the first time in this league.
And all this happened just because of a freshman who was not favored by the public.
The attack hit Xu Zhi's chest directly. If she wanted to chop Xiaoling, she would be hit by this attack. This was not an unknown position, but the chest!
But even so, Jiang Qing still felt something was wrong.
Because she had just seen Xu Zhi's desperate fighting style, she even felt that Xu Zhi might not be able to dodge this attack that was enough to seriously injure an ordinary transcendent!
Just as Jiang Qing was thinking this, the girl, who was originally just smiling, suddenly widened her smile, as if she had heard her thoughts. Jiang Qing could see her white teeth, the smile on her lips that was too bright and seemed not to appear at this moment, and her figure that did not flinch at all!
She really had no intention of dodging at all!
She is not without wounds!
What is she thinking?
Are you willing to risk your life to kill Xiaoling?
No, that's not right. Her self-healing ability is too exaggerated. This wound is fatal to others, but not to her.
But if she tries to eat it, even she will be seriously injured!
Jiang Qing didn't understand at all.
But she had done what she could. Xu Zhi was too close to Xiaoling and his speed was too fast. Apart from trying her best to attack Xu Zhi, she had no time to take Xiaoling away. She could only watch Xiaoling raise the knife in her hand with a determined look on her face to prepare to block the attack.
No, Xiaoling, this is wrong.
Jiang Qing has never realized more clearly than now that even though Xiaoling is a fifth-grade [Heart] and her talent is already outstanding enough, she cannot withstand the full-strength attack of Xu Zhi, this monster who has always hidden himself.
Xu Zhi didn't know about Jiang Qing's attack, she just felt that she was in a very good state now! The best she had been in for a long time!
Her head was hot and her palms were burning. She seemed to hear the sound of blood rushing in her body, the strong beating of her heart, and the extraordinary energy sweeping through her body, giving her a greater sense of power!
She knew that this was because she was "high", she had entered a "bloodthirsty" state, even her rationality had retreated to give way to instinct. If Xu Zhi was willing, he could calm down, or in other words, cool down.
But, why?
She smiled with some excitement and looked at Xiaoling's determined eyes. The blood rushing in her body asked her why she should stay calm when someone was standing in front of her?
Her fevered brain gave the answer. The only thing she had to do was to crush the opponent!
Apart from this, there is nothing else more important!
——Ding!!!
After the huge sound of cold weapons colliding, there was the sound of a knife being bounced away. Immediately afterwards, almost without any interval, there was the sound of a long knife cutting into the flesh, easily cutting off a person's body, and then hitting the ground!
Xu Zhi felt the pain in his hand caused by the rebound of excessive force for the first time in a long time.
The standard sword in her hand was, after all, forged from ordinary extraordinary materials. After this blow directly cut through Xiaoling's body and hit the ground of the ring, it broke directly.
There was still trace of fear in Xiaoling's eyes, which had transformed from her original determination. She never expected that she could not even take this blow.
Jiang Qing couldn't help but close her eyes. Xiaoling had a very good relationship with her. It was her first time participating in the league. She was extremely talented and had strong teammates. She had hardly suffered too many injuries in the league, let alone died. Such a tragic death, I'm afraid Xiaoling will need psychological counseling after this.
While thinking this, Jiang Qing's expression became more serious. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong in her heart. The first-year student in front of her seemed to have turned into a killing machine that was gradually starting up. And now, she had just warmed up, took off her superficial disguise, and was about to reveal her true face.
Xu Zhi loosened the broken handle of the sword, slowly stood up, and then looked in the direction of Jiang Qing. Her eyes closed in satisfaction, as if she was recalling something. There was a piercing wound on her chest, and she could even see the other side of the ring through it.
The wound ruptured due to excessive force, and blood continued to flow out. However, the owner of this body just opened his eyes with satisfaction and looked at Xiaoling's "corpse" and praised:
"not bad."
“I admire people who have courage.”
It was a clear girl's voice, very pleasant to hear, but it made Jiang Qing's hair stand on end the moment she heard it.
She realized once again that the person standing before her might not be a human being, but a monster.
Liancheng Guangmingyuan, where on earth did they find such a monster?
Is it a secret weapon they have been secretly cultivating?
But there was no time to think about it. Now, this monster was not satisfied with killing its teammates. Soon, it would come towards itself.
Even though her chest had been pierced with a hole half the size of a fist, and even though her blood was constantly flowing out, Jiang Qing could not see any pain on her face. Instead, there was only endless joy and freedom that should not have appeared in [Deng]'s eyes!
Sorry for the long wait, because I wrote it a little late, this is a three-in-one
Thanks to Erin’s cat for the lead!
