Chapter 76 Fungal Remains Frenzy 37 A Salted Fish Turns Over!
The previously theatrical fighting style suddenly changed. Cheng Xiuye noticed that Nanmen Jue had increased his strength and couldn't adapt at first. She almost had her throat slit by the White Bone Blade.
His expression suddenly became excited. After a few exchanges, when Nanmen Jue once again pressed the knife against his throat, he abruptly stopped.
He stopped moving!
At that speed, Nanmen Jue had no way of stopping her force, and of course, she never intended to stop either.
So, naturally, the sharp bone knife cut open Cheng Xiuye's airway. Just as it was about to slice off his entire head, Cheng Xiuye suddenly reached out and grabbed Nanmen Jue by the collar, his eyes filled with unparalleled fanaticism, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Nanmen Jue...go to hell!"
Suddenly, the injuries on both of them reversed!
All the cuts Nanmen Jue had made on Cheng Xiuye's body, the internal wound that struck his chest, and the wound that almost slit his throat, were now on Nanmen Jue's body. Nanmen Jue was instantly covered in blood, with large amounts of blood gushing from all over her body, the most serious of which was undoubtedly the wound on her throat.
Orange item: Turn the tables!
This is a name that, as always, inherits the style of the main god's items, but as an orange item, it has terrifying effects and side effects.
Its function is simple: it can switch the "state" of two people.
Level, strength, degree of injury... even life or death!
If you use this item at the right time, it can even bring someone back from the dead!
This effect occurred exactly as described. Nanmen Jue instantly felt her life rapidly slipping away. The excruciating pain that surged through her body made her open her eyes wide. At the same time, Cheng Xiuye's complexion improved considerably, but surprisingly, it did not become rosy. He looked at Nanmen Jue in astonishment.
"Why are you making yourself so tired?"
He muttered something to himself, then suddenly exerted force, pinning Nanmen Jue down and throwing her to the ground!
Cheng Xiuye grabbed Nanmen Jue by the collar, pressed one knee against her chest, and looked down at her with trembling pupils.
Blood spilled from Nanmen Jue's lips and neck, staining her bright red. Cheng Xiuye's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but bend down and get close to Nanmen Jue's face, gently sniffing the blood that was flowing out.
"A sweet taste, a sweet face," he murmured, a hint of regret mixed with desire flickering in his eyes. "If you were a woman, I can't even imagine the storm you would cause..."
His regret was so genuine. Although in the reincarnation space, women are very likely to become nourishment for other reincarnators, there are also some powerful women who can make the most of this space. With Nanmen Jue's strength and such a beautiful face, if he were really a woman... what kind of storm would he stir up in this space? Cheng Xiuye thought about it and became a little dazed.
Nanmen Jue didn't know what he was thinking. She was vomiting blood. She was very clear about every injury she had caused to Cheng Xiuye. She knew that she was about to die.
Upon hearing this, she trembled uncontrollably. Cheng Xiuye thought she was finally scared, but when he looked up, he found Nanmen Jue smiling.
Her eyes were full of laughter, which, combined with her blood-covered face, created a chillingly insane effect.
Her throat was slit open, and she couldn't even make a sound, but looking into her eyes that were staring straight at her, Cheng Xiuye felt a chilling fear in her heart.
This fear was completely different from when he was suppressed by power. If he had to make a comparison, when he was suppressed, he felt like a herbivore facing a bloodthirsty beast, knowing that it could bite his throat and swallow him whole at any moment. At that time, death was a known consequence.
At this moment, however, Nanmen Jue seemed to have transformed into some incomprehensible being. Cheng Xiuye was terrified, yet he did not know where this fear came from. His face twitched, and when Nanmen Jue raised the scalpel again, he almost trembled.
But Nanmen Jue did not attack him. Instead, she raised her knife and stabbed herself in the air chamber, just as she had done to He Ting, to cut herself open so she could breathe.
Before Cheng Xiuye could react, Nanmen Jue slightly raised his chin and beckoned to him with his finger.
The look in her eyes was almost bewitching, a beauty that transcended gender. When she looked at people with that gaze, they could forget her gender and only see her as the kind of person who could attract them. Cheng Xiuye was bewitched and moved her face closer, but then she instantly came to her senses.
He inwardly berated himself for relaxing, and it was only after using the orange item and being very certain of the other party's condition that he let his guard down. His expression turned stern.
“What a pity.” He stared at Nanmen Jue’s face. “The name Nanmen Jue is like a meteor that streaks across the sky, its light illuminating the entire cycle of reincarnation. But this meteor is about to fall…in my hands.”
His pupils trembled as he reached out to touch Nanmen Jue's face. "I will record this scene of your death and spread it throughout the cycle of reincarnation in the future, so that you won't have lived in vain with this face."
He was filled with immense excitement. He was about to kill Nanmen Jue, and he would receive the reward promised by the Supreme God, as well as a reputation that would spread throughout the entire cycle of reincarnation. From this day forward, no one could stop his meteoric rise—no matter how prestigious the title, nothing could stand in his way.
"What are you laughing about? Hurry up and get started. Are you worried about the side effects that will appear later?"
A hoarse, unpleasant voice rang out, and Cheng Xiuye was stunned, looking down in disbelief.
Nanmen Jue was still staring at him. These words did indeed come from her mouth. It turned out that during the brief moment when Cheng Xiuye was immersed in her fantasy, Nanmen Jue used a green prop to barely repair her voice, making it usable again.
Cheng Xiuye laughed hysterically, "How did you know? Was it Jin Jian? No, no, no, Jin Jian couldn't possibly know what my props are. Nanmen Jue, are there other people behind you?"
He ran his fingers along Nanmenjue's still-healing neck, his fingertips digging into her wounds to slow the healing process, but he didn't immediately snap her neck.
Nanmen Jue's plan worked. Possessing an orange-level item was undoubtedly his biggest trump card and secret. Very few people knew about it, let alone its side effects. The only possibility that Nanmen Jue would know this was that someone very close to him had run into trouble.
He couldn't just kill her without hesitation; he had to find out who the person who leaked the information was, no matter what.
No, wait. Cheng Xiuye's overheated mind cooled slightly. Nanmen Jue's words were too vague. Everyone should know that using powerful items can have dangerous side effects, but she might not really know—
"Are you scared?" Nanmen Jue said in a hoarse but clear voice, "You will slowly absorb me, you will grow two hearts, four arms, and maybe even two heads... From now on, you will become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, right?"
Cheng Xiuye trembled, and he blurted out, "This is impossible! How could you know... Could it be him?"
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but the fear did not dissipate.
Nanmen Jue was absolutely right. This is the side effect of the "turnaround" ability. It takes effect as soon as it is used. After completely overturning the state of the two people, the user will undergo a mutation, and all their organs will be duplicated. This is what the cloaked man told Nanmen Jue.
Now it seems he wasn't lying to her.
That's why Cheng Xiuye never used this prop, treating it only as a last resort for survival.
The benefits he gained from killing Nanmen Jue had made him lose his mind with joy. Now that Nanmen Jue had pointed it out, the terrifying side effects surfaced in his mind. Cheng Xiuye was terrified. He trembled all over and looked crazy.
"Who is it?!" he roared.
Although he didn't know who the person he had just made the connection to was, the guess had clearly greatly impacted his mind, and along with the side effects he had just remembered, it caused his entire demeanor to change drastically.
Even though he wasn't seriously injured, even though he had just achieved the coveted fame, even though Nanmen Jue was holding him in his fragile hand, he trembled like a dying fish, his eyes fixed fiercely on Nanmen Jue's face.
Nanmen Jue smiled weakly and said something shocking: "Come closer and let me kiss you, and I'll tell you."
Cheng Xiuye was stunned.
He stared at Nanmen Jue's smiling face with suspicion, his perfectly intact Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and then he suddenly leaned down.
He still felt some psychological pressure and didn't really want to kiss a man, so he deliberately tilted his head and moved closer to Nanmen Jue's face, which conveniently provided Nanmen Jue with a chance.
In the blink of an eye, Nanmen Jue made a move and removed the glasses from his face!
Cheng Xiuye didn't expect that she was still thinking about her glasses. She was caught off guard and the other woman got her hands on them. She quickly put her glasses on, but after an extremely short reaction time, a powerful slap came down, knocking her face to the side and sending her glasses flying.
Before Cheng Xiuye could even retrieve her glasses, she roared furiously, "So that's what you were planning!"
That's right. Nanmen Jue already knew the function of the item he had, so she didn't plan to kill him and go back unscathed. She would be replaced with Cheng Xiuye's orange name and injuries, and at this point, she would no longer be able to kill Cheng Xiuye, who had changed her data.
Her sole purpose was to stop his massacres and to find out who he had been in contact with.
She thought it would take a lot of effort to find out after getting the glasses, but she never expected that she could learn anything from that brief glance. However, life is full of surprises.
"Zhang Jin...?"
This was an unfamiliar name, an unexpected one. Nanmen Jue was stunned for a moment, and without thinking, he asked in a hoarse voice, "The person you've been in contact with is Zhang Jin!"
It wasn't Zhou Yiming, it was Zhang Jin!
Zhang Jin, also known as Entropy Jin, is the president of Entropy Jin.
The second-in-command of Ouroboros possessed an artifact that allowed him to contact the outside world even within the cycle of reincarnation, which he used to contact the leader of Entropy Ash.
This was so absurd that Nanmen Jue quickly realized that the person who really wanted to kill her was Zhang Jin!
This action completely enraged Cheng Xiuye. He recklessly reached out towards Nanmen Jue, intending to strangle her. Nanmen Jue did not dodge, but instead counted down from three.
"Three, two,..."
Before she could finish counting, there was a "plop" sound, and Cheng Xiuye's eyeballs popped out.
He screamed and trembled as he reached for his eyes, but Nanmen Jue seized the opportunity to stab him in the neck.
