Interlude 3 of Chapter 113: "Don't be in such a hurry to die."
People kept falling down in the hall. Nanmen Jue heard Deng Erhuai and the others' voices. Before she could check their situation, she stared at Cheng Xiuye, whose face was filled with fear, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.
She saw two people coming out from the second-floor railing. Although she had never met the leaders of the four major guilds in person, Nanmen Jue had collected some information before and confirmed the identities of those two people.
The commotion had already attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Cheng Xiuye was quite well-known, and many people recognized him. Now that he had changed into this state, everyone else was very surprised. In addition, with the two association presidents appearing at the same time, people who were originally in the room also came out to watch this rare spectacle.
Everyone assumed the hall was a safe zone, and tacitly agreed not to make a move there. As a result, everyone was unusually bold, glancing at the distorted Cheng Xiuye one moment and the two presidents standing by the railing the next, their eyes almost unable to keep up.
Cheng Xiuye's shout naturally attracted everyone's attention.
After realizing what he was shouting, everyone present looked shocked.
What was he shouting? Help? Cheng Xiuye was shouting for help?
The infamous second-in-command of the ouroboros is crying for help.
Who could possibly take his life! Could it be that some guild leader has gotten into a fight with him?
So everyone looked in the direction that had been cleared and saw a handsome and slender young man standing there, with a half-smile on his face, looking at Cheng Xiuye as if he were looking at a fly struggling for its last breath.
After Cheng Xiuye became famous, he had never seen anyone look at him like that before. It was not only because he himself was a powerful orange-ranked individual, but also because the entire Ouroboros stood behind him. And the one who supported this behemoth, Ouroboros, was Zhou Yiming, one of only four gold-ranked individuals in the entire Reincarnation Space.
Now that Cheng Xiuye has returned to the main hall of the God, which is full of Ouroboros members, and even Zhou Yiming himself is watching him from the second floor, what else does he have to be afraid of?
Cheng Xiuye clearly realized this as well. The fear he instinctively showed upon seeing Nanmen Jue transformed into a ferocious arrogance. He raised a finger and pointed at Nanmen Jue, saying in his loudest voice, "That's Nanmen Jue! He just went on a killing spree again, slaughtering everyone in the Reincarnation World and destroying it! I tried to stop him, but he tried to kill me! It's him! Nanmen Jue wanted to kill me!"
The shrill, deafening cries instantly silenced the once noisy main hall.
Before Cheng Xiuye's voice had even faded, everyone's eyes were on Nanmen Jue. That figure was still tall and elegant, and it was unknown how many people had coveted him just now. However, when the name Nanmen Jue was mentioned above her, many people couldn't help but take a few steps back.
A sudden uproar erupted from the silence!
She's Nanmen Jue? That's definitely Nanmen Jue!
They not only witnessed Nanmen Jue in person, but also learned that Nanmen Jue had just destroyed another cycle world!
All sorts of gazes converged on Nanmen Jue, who seemed to have anticipated this scene. His expression remained unchanged as he stared at Cheng Xiuye with a half-smile.
Her gaze was so focused, her killing intent so intense, that Cheng Xiuye's heart, which had just calmed down, began to churn and boil again. His arm, which was pointing at Nanmen Jue, trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
This step was seen by many, drawing numerous incredulous glances.
Cheng Xiuye was genuinely afraid of Nanmen Jue! Even surrounded by the Ouroboros and under Zhou Yiming's watchful gaze, he was still afraid of Nanmen Jue!
What exactly happened in the previous world?
What exactly did this person do to terrify someone like Cheng Xiuye to this extent?
Ignoring the stares of others, Nanmen Jue pulled up a panel visible only to herself and began pulling data.
Although others cannot see her panel, her movements are very familiar, and everyone can tell what she is doing, but this behavior is really puzzling.
Should we start adjusting the data now, at this very moment?
To most people, Nanmen Jue is a very mysterious figure. No one knows what she looks like, nor does anyone know her background, what level she is, or what color her name is.
Seeing Nanmen Jue's actions, many people, including the two presidents on the second floor, became serious, as if they could see through her actions and stare at her more closely.
From the second-floor railing, Terra looked at the handsome young man beside her. "Should we go and deal with this?"
“Cheng Xiuye can handle it.” Zhou Yiming showed no sign of moving. “He used that prop. No matter who he replaced, it should be Jinming by now.”
"You still don't think Nanmenjue could be a gold-medalist?" Terra said.
"If both are Jin Ming, then Nanmen Jue has even less chance of winning."
“But your men seem terrified of him.” Terra’s gaze fell on Cheng Xiuye below. Anyone with eyes could see how terrified he was.
With long, pale fingers tapping on the railing, Zhou Yiming said expressionlessly, "He won't die here. Let's check the situation first."
Terra's expression was slightly tense, and a hint of disapproval flashed in her eyes. Putting herself in her shoes, if it were her guild members below screaming in terror and begging for help, she would jump down without hesitation to shield them, even if it were Jinming, she would fight to the death.
But she knew how arrogant and cold-hearted the man beside her was. Even after hearing that Cheng Xiuye was actually a good brother he knew in the real world, he calmly treated him as a prop for observation.
That's right, Zhou Yiming didn't show up because he wanted to see what Nanmen Jue would do and what he was capable of doing.
Terra sighed inwardly. After all, this was someone else's guild's business, and she couldn't say anything. So she also focused her attention and looked down at the confrontation.
Her gaze searched through the crowd, and among the reincarnators who had appeared in the same group as Nanmen Jue, she saw someone who worried her.
When Terra saw Deng Erhuai standing properly in the crowd, a smile appeared on her face. However, before the smile could fully unfold, she noticed Deng Erhuai's expression.
The stubborn girl was staring intently at Nanmen Jue, her expression not one of fear or disgust, but rather... sadness.
Terra was startled, and her gaze towards Nanmenjue changed.
Deng Erhuai had always been with her, and she knew her strength all too well. Moreover, although she was stubborn, she was reasonable. Regardless of whether Nanmen Jue was a good person or a bad person, Deng Erhuai's expression towards her should not have been like this...
Before she could finish her thought, the situation below changed.
Nanmen Jue lifted his leg and walked towards Cheng Xiuye.
With a whoosh, Cheng Xiuye took a big step back, and the people standing behind him also took a big step back.
After they retreated, he mentally slapped himself. This was the main hall of the gods; what could Nanmen Jue possibly do? Could he really kill him? Retreating without a fight was truly shameful.
Thinking this through, Cheng Xiuye composed herself and said in a deep voice, "Nanmen Jue, what do you want to do?"
Nanmen Jue remained silent and continued walking towards him.
Cheng Xiuye raised her voice: "You are ruthless and vicious. Not only have you slaughtered the reincarnators and the natives of the reincarnation world, but you have also chased me to this point just because I stopped you. Are you still not going to stop?!"
Nanmen Jue didn't even blink.
The panic that Cheng Xiuye had forcibly suppressed resurfaced, and he almost roared, "Nanmen Jue! Stop right there!"
Nanmen Jue came to him.
She was tall and slender, almost weak compared to Cheng Xiuye's physique. She tilted her head back and smiled slightly, her beauty captivating. Cheng Xiuye's pupils instantly contracted!
In that instant, the pillar of light in the main hall, the Ouroboros members around him, including Zhou Yiming, could no longer give him any sense of security. His face was contorted, his muscles bulged, and just when people thought he was about to punch Nanmen Jue, he suddenly roared and turned to run away!
Everyone, including the two presidents, was completely stunned.
No one expected Cheng Xiuye to turn around and run away; only one person remained unfazed.
With a smile on his lips, Nanmen Jue casually reached out and put his hand on Cheng Xiuye's back.
It really was the action of "clawing"; her slender and powerful five fingers, shaped like claws, dug into Cheng Xiuye's flesh, causing blood to flow out immediately, and Cheng Xiuye let out a scream of pain.
"Nanmen Jue! You've gone too far!"
Before the others could react to this unexpected turn of events, Cheng Xiuye, enduring the pain, turned around and started fighting with Nanmen Jue!
The surrounding crowd gasped and stepped back to make room for the two, watching them fight with a mixture of excitement and fear, while some cheered.
Someone actually made a move in the main hall!
What's more, one of these two is a renowned master with a ruthless style, and the other is a mysterious madman whose actions are rarely seen, but whose reputation is no different from that of a demon, thanks to the personal efforts of the God of War. When these two start fighting, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So some people retreated, while others pushed forward, trying to get a better view.
Seeing that the two were actually fighting, the two on the second floor immediately became serious as well.
However, before the audience could even adjust their "formation," the battle was already over.
Everything happened too fast. The two-meter-tall Cheng Xiuye was pinned down by Nanmen Jue, who was choking her. She knelt on his chest, and no matter how much Cheng Xiuye struggled, she could not break free from his control.
The hall, which had been in an uproar just moments before, suddenly fell completely silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, unable to react.
"Let go...let go..." Cheng Xiuye gripped Nanmen Jue's arms with all four hands, seemingly trying her best to shake her off. The veins on all four arms were bulging and sweat was seeping out, showing how much strength she was using.
However, Nanmen Jue did not move an inch. A joyful smile appeared on her face. Without saying a word, she slowly and forcefully pulled out one of her hands. A cold glint flashed, and a pure white scalpel was about to plunge into his heart!
Terra turned around anxiously: "Aren't you going to make a move?!"
Zhou Yiming had deep-set eyes and brows. His fingers gripped the railing tightly, but he still didn't go down.
Everyone thought Nanmen Jue was going to kill Cheng Xiuye like this, but Nanmen Jue's knife tip was pressed against Cheng Xiuye's chest, not directly piercing his heart, but instead cutting a long wound horizontally.
The cut was deep, blood splattered, and Cheng Xiuye's ribs were visible. But Nanmen Jue did not kill him. She simply smiled captivatingly and continued to slice open his body, as if she were making decorative cuts on a fresh, live fish.
She wasn't killing people, she was abusing them!
Just as Cheng Xiuye was about to faint, she suddenly grabbed him, stood him up, and threw him into the pillar of light.
"Don't be in such a hurry to die," Nanmen Jue said calmly. "I haven't finished taking my revenge yet."
