Chapter 114
Su Xingyuan's condition cannot be said to be good.
His hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably. The fatigue that came over him belatedly made every part of his body send out signals that they needed to rest. For some reason, his brain felt a little groggy, as if it was a precursor to a fever.
I absolutely cannot stop in this bad condition. Once I stop, I might not be able to lift my legs again and I will have to stay where I am forever.
There is no one who is unaware of this, let alone Su Xingyuan who can keep thinking in such a situation.
However, Su Xingyuan stopped.
The scene of Chen Wei falling to the ground without being able to hold on fell into his eyes. Through the layer of cold lenses, due to the distance and the barrier of the lenses, it seemed as if it was thousands of miles away from him, so far away that he didn't need to care.
Su Xingyuan saw the sweat oozing from Chen Wei's forehead after he fell under the scorching sun. Because of the intense exercise, his front and back were soaked with sweat, and even his hair was stuck together. The monster chasing him raised the machete high up, and the sun shone on the blade, making it almost impossible for the man to open his eyes for a moment.
It only takes a moment for the blade to fall, and besides that monster, there are countless other monsters of its kind waiting eagerly.
How can an adult human feed several monsters at the same time?
This is an unsolvable situation for any student in the school.
There's no hope. No hope. Just wait to die.
It should have been like this.
The most sensible thing to do now is to leave quickly while the monsters' attention is still on Chen Wei, and find a better hiding place. After all, even if he stays, it will be useless and he may even lose his life. This is a loss-making business that is not worth the gain.
No one would blame him for leaving because it was too late when he noticed the scene.
Chen Wei is now almost equivalent to a dead person.
The black-haired boy stood at the stairs. The sunlight was blocked by the building, casting a cold shadow that completely enveloped him. The blood remaining on his body dripped onto the ground drop by drop. The smell of blood would easily attract monsters. He should leave quickly.
However, he lifted his left foot and took a step forward.
He stepped into the scorching sunlight that seemed to be scorching the earth.
Just take this step, and everything that follows seems to become natural and logical.
There was no need to think about the pros and cons, nor to hesitate over and over again. Even though he had no strength left and it was absolutely impossible for a human to stop the monster, he still ran towards Chen Wei, running without reservation and with all his strength!
——The strong wind caused by running blew the glasses, which were already unstable, and the heavy black-framed glasses fell to the ground.
“Crack.”
It broke into pieces, making a crisp cracking sound.
As the sound of shattering rang out, the world lost its voice. In the boundless silence, those irrational thoughts grew wildly like weeds and broke out of the ground.
The human world has been turned upside down. A crack has appeared in the sky, and monsters are openly invading reality - what is the need for forbearance, vigilance, and caution!
There was no reason for everything he did, nor was there any ambition to save the world or any extra kindness in his heart. Even if he died here, it was only because he wanted to do so.
——Without the obstruction of the black-framed glasses, those eyes, which showed no fear even at this moment, were completely exposed to the air.
On the contrary, the pair of black pupils, which were usually calm but with a sense of mechanical impotence, began to be permeated with faint excitement and gradually spreading madness, as if something was drilling out from the depths of the soul with great force and regardless of everything!
Suddenly, it seemed as if a line of transparent text appeared silently in the lower left corner of his sight.
【Co-dispatching...】
【1%】
In an instant, shackles are broken, barriers collapse, and rules are rewritten!
The sound of shackles breaking rang clearly in his mind, spreading upwards inch by inch from his ankles, to his calves, waist, arms, brain, and finally to his pupils. The falling machete suddenly slowed down in his eyes, and the distance of dozens of meters could no longer bring any pressure to his vision!
【Total dispatch: 5%】
He could clearly see the skin texture on the monster's knife-holding hand, the arrangement of its scales and the keratin on them; he could instinctively feel the fluctuations of magic coming from their bodies, and the point where the magic color was the most intense was the core of their magic, the source of all their power!
【Total dispatch: 17%】
His right hand opened slightly, and the utility knife that he had put back into his sleeve after using it before slid into his palm as he wished, as if he knew how to use these knives by nature.
【Total dispatch: 20%】
So at the moment when the machete completely fell and touched Chen Wei's flesh and blood——
“Clang!!”
The sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out!
Golden sparks flew out during the collision, and the utility knife suddenly slid out of the palm of the hand and, at a tricky angle, stuck tightly to the machete, which had a great advantage over the utility knife!
——At the last moment, when the machete was about to chop down, the black-haired boy suddenly lowered his center of gravity, knelt on one knee, and took the killing blow!
[Synchronization rate: 30%]
The monster, who had been determined to win, now opened his eyes wide in shock, and the tip of his knife tilted in shock.
There was clearly only this one human being in the entire square, and his knife had clearly chopped down, just a millimeter away from cutting through human flesh and blood. But why did a stranger suddenly appear like a ghost at the end and take the knife head-on? ?
...The speed at which he could reach the sword from tens or even hundreds of meters away in an instant was like a bolt of thunder. Is this really the speed that a human can achieve? !
A strong sense of uneasiness spread in its heart, and along with the uneasiness came a fear that penetrated deep into its bones, like an intuition or an instinct rooted in its soul.
The instinctive fear of the human being in front of me.
Its gaze slowly moved downward.
Behind the long black hair that was spread out due to the extreme movement and speed, were a pair of emerald eyes that were so crazy that they seemed to be the only ray of life.
A pair of extremely familiar eyes.
The monster's brain suddenly went blank, and the overwhelming fear finally overwhelmed it.
It seemed like... it knew who the human boy in front of it was.
[Synchronization rate: 40%]
The black-haired boy was obviously not satisfied with just blocking the attack. The moment he removed the power from the machete, the power and magic power injected into the ordinary utility knife suddenly increased. The next moment, he directly pressed the machete against the monster's neck. With just a slight movement of his fingers, the utility knife disappeared in his hand.
Instead, there was a short sword that was completely green.
The switching of weapons was as natural as flowing water, without any delay or hesitation, as if he had already performed this action thousands of times, forming a habitual memory deeply buried in his bones. Naturally, the offensive before the weapon switch did not stop at all.
Before anyone could react, the short knife that could cut through iron like mud had easily cut open the monster's neck that was protected by layers of scales!
Black hair, blue eyes, and a short sword of the same color.
And this method of attack is as fierce and swift as lightning, which does not give the enemy any time to react, goes straight to the vital points, and draws blood.
"Stay, stay..."
The black-haired boy straightened up.
The wind lifted his long hair behind him, but the dark color was completely unable to cover up the iconic green in his eyes that seemed to be able to devour everything.
“…Xingyuan!”
Finally, a monster uttered the name with trembling voice.
——This name, in another world, represents death, failure and fear to them.
Almost at the moment when this name was spoken, these monsters that were once so arrogant and invaded the human world openly, relying on the fact that there were no supernatural powers in this world to hunt and kill humans unscrupulously, seemed to have encountered their natural enemies and fled in all directions, without even the slightest resistance.
【Total dispatch: 47%】
The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly.
When his face showed this expression, it was easy for him to be as holy as a preaching angel, but at this moment his face was covered with the blood of his enemies.
The bright red blood not only failed to erase the two symmetrical black moles under his eyes, but made them even more obvious. So in an instant, the sacredness was mixed with the dazzling abnormality, and the devil smiled with his eyebrows lowered, but instead spread boundless terror.
【Total dispatch: 56%】
He said calmly, "Fire."
The next moment, the fire moved with the wind, and the hellfire spread from points to lines in an instant!
The dark blue flame was extremely hot, almost distorting the space, as if it had life and entangled the fleeing monsters, spreading from the square to the teaching building, and then from the teaching building to the playground, office building, and laboratory building... It seemed like in just a blink of an eye, the entire school turned into a dark blue sea of fire.
The black-haired boy in the center of the sea of fire just stood there, saying nothing, extremely calm.
"you……"
Chen Wei uttered a sound in a daze.
The voice was so small that even he could hardly hear it clearly, but the black-haired boy seemed to have completely captured the source of the sound. He turned his head, and his emerald irises seemed to be just a sophisticated instrument that captured movement and instantly locked onto him without any emotion.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes and gaze, Chen Wei was shocked, and the cold sweat that had not yet subsided on his body broke out again.
Is this...Xingyuan?
Apart from the color of the eyes and the extra long hair at the end of her hair, nothing seemed to have changed. Her facial features were still the same ones he was familiar with, but he just felt... something was different, very different.
If I had to put it bluntly, it's like a long sword in a scabbard. When it's in the scabbard, no matter how you touch it, your hands won't be cut. But once the scabbard breaks and the blade comes out -
Even if you don't get close, you will feel hurt by the cold sword energy.
Those coldness, cruelty and madness that were previously hidden behind the lenses or buried deep in the personality, and only occasionally revealed the tip of the iceberg in the long time before, are now fully revealed, no longer concealed in the slightest.
It was impossible for Chen Wei not to feel fear.
He didn't dare to communicate with some people who were naturally cold, let alone the dangerous person in front of him. But he had not forgotten the scene when he thought he was going to die just now, when he saw the exhausted black-haired boy raised his legs again and ran towards him regardless of anything.
"Su...Su Xingyuan," he asked tentatively, "are you okay...?"
The black-haired boy's gaze, as if locked on a target, did not seem so threatening at first.
He bent down slightly, stretched out his hand, and smiled with a smile that was somewhat familiar to Chen Wei.
"I should be the one asking you this. Are you scared?"
Chen Wei: ...Who are you referring to as the one who caused the scare?
But he didn't dare to say this, so he swallowed it back into his stomach, carefully took Su Xingyuan's hand, and stood up.
"hiss……"
The moment he stood up, he couldn't help but gasp quietly - his knee seemed to be bruised from hitting the stone slab just now.
The next moment, a packet of something that looked like medicine was thrown into Chen Wei's arms.
“Eat it, and then find a seat anywhere,” the black-haired boy raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, “This time I will pull that eyeball… down from the sky completely.”
Chen Wei asked carefully: "...and then?"
Su Xingyuan: "Follow your interests and hobbies."
