All composure and calculation were replaced by the resolute determination of this desperate strike!
"Pay the price for your arrogance!"
Using spatial jumps to close the distance, Han Qing's figure instantly rushed in front of "Li Yu"!
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with a desperate madness, like a beast driven to the brink of desperation, baring all its fangs!
Han Qing was certain that an Awakened being like Li Yu, who was extremely biased towards ranged attacks,
For awakened individuals who focus their abilities on long-range sniping, close-quarters combat and instantaneous defense are inevitably their biggest weaknesses.
This is determined by the energy system, and it is almost impossible to make up for it!
At such close range, he unleashed his strongest killing move of his life; he refused to believe that Li Yu could dodge it!
All of Han Qing's energy was mobilized, and to ensure that nothing went wrong, he even extracted a portion of his life essence at great cost.
The vital energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly to the tip of his right index finger!
The tiny space at the fingertip, unable to withstand such terrifying energy compression, emitted a hissing sound as it twisted and tore, eventually collapsing to form the prototype of a miniature spatial black hole exuding an aura of destruction!
At this moment, speed, timing, and power are all under his control!
With a sense of impending success, Han Qing suddenly thrust his fist into Li Yu's vital point!
"Cold Mountain Collapse—!"
This finger strike abandons all fancy energy projections, concentrating all destructive power into a single point, making its penetrating power and destructive force terrifying!
This type of energy burst is enough to shatter mountains, pierce through all forms of energy shields, and directly annihilate their heart and life force!
This was the deadly trap that Han Qing had already calculated!
Use spatial locking to restrict its movement, use spatial jump to close the distance and then use the strongest attack to instantly kill it!
The moment a fingertip touches the other's body, a violent spatial collapse force will erupt instantly, destroying all life!
At that time, he can immediately activate the reserved spatial coordinates and escape from the battlefield!
On the leaderboard, countless powerful and strangely capable Awakened Ones have fallen victim to a barrage of deadly attacks, and this time is no exception.
Even if the two people next to Li Yu realized what was happening, they would have no chance to stop him from leaving.
Looking at Li Yu, who was so close at hand, Han Qing revealed a triumphant smile.
Lock the game! Close range! Finishing blow!
He won!
"Bang--!"
The fingertip, imbued with the power of spatial collapse, struck Li Yu squarely in the heart!
The touch feels incredibly realistic!
A burst of violent energy erupted from his fingertips, and the black hole suddenly expanded, tearing apart the surrounding space and completely engulfing Li Yu's figure!
Li Yu's eyes were filled with terror, and the next second, her whole body was completely torn apart!
Blood and flesh flying everywhere!
The dissipating energy shockwave, like a death ring, created a circular surge around Li Yu's location, spreading outwards.
Success!
No doubt about it! Li Yu is dead! Dead beyond recognition!
Han Qing was overjoyed. He hurriedly sensed the coordinates and prepared to use his spatial abilities to escape immediately.
But just as the joy of victory reached its peak, a voice, clearly mocking, rang in his ears like a ghost:
"Li Yu, how effective was my 'Illusory Realm' technique? It didn't waste the mental energy you provided, did it?"
"Indeed, excellent. Seamless transitions, indistinguishable from reality. Even the emotional fluctuations are perfectly simulated. Looks like your long slumber wasn't in vain."
"Of course! Don't you know who I am~ ..." The voice trailed off, boasting smugly.
What was that sound?
Who is speaking? !
Isn't Li Yu already dead?
Han Qing trembled violently and looked up in terror at the sound, only to be struck dumb the next second!
Li Yu, who had just died at his hands, was now unharmed, leaning lazily against the hood of the jeep, as if he had been standing there the whole time.
Meanwhile, on the phoenix bow in Li Yu's hand, a strange black eye had opened at some point, and it was now staring at him mockingly. The sound fluctuations just now originated from that eye!
Those eyes... that eerie aura that made one's soul uneasy...
Nightmare Beast?!
The name of a mental beast that almost only exists in encrypted data flashed through Han Qing's mind like lightning!
"Hallucination! It's all fucking hallucination!"
Han Qing instantly understood and felt a chill run down his spine.
It turned out that he had already unknowingly fallen completely into the dream woven by the Nightmare Beast!
He didn't know exactly when it started, maybe when Li Yu shot the second arrow, maybe even earlier...
Everything he just experienced—Li Yu's movements were frozen in place, he successfully performed a spatial jump, the close-range kill he was determined to achieve, and the scene of "Li Yu" being killed and torn apart—was all fake!
These were all traps meticulously prepared for him by the Nightmare Beast.
It's a nightmare so realistic it could fool anyone!
He misjudged Li Yu's position from the start and bombarded the air like a monkey.
Li Yu sat leisurely in that spot like a bystander, enjoying his "wonderful" performance in the open space!
What chilled Han Qing to the bone was that Li Yu, the hero promoted by the Central Plains government, was able to use this nightmare beast that feeds on human spirits and hates and curses all living beings for his own purposes!
Moreover, Li Yu can not only communicate with Nightmare Beasts, but also cooperate with them in such a tacit way!
Han Qing's eyes were filled with confusion. The scene before him was so real that it completely overturned his understanding of the relationship between awakened beings and nightmare beasts.
It's important to understand that it's absolutely impossible for humans to subdue Nightmare Beasts; even the fifth-ranked "Beast King," known for his ability to control all beasts, couldn't do it.
The Beast King once publicly stated: If you encounter a Nightmare Beast, never try to kill it; immediately turn around and run away! Because Nightmare Beasts are special mental-type beasts that can never be tamed by Awakened Ones and can only be destroyed!
After recalling the information about the Nightmare Beast, Han Qing subconsciously shifted his gaze and stared at the pure black eye on the bow and arrow for less than a tenth of a second.
Just that brief glimpse!
Han Qing suddenly felt dizzy, as if his mental energy was being sucked into an endless chaotic vortex, and a stinging sensation came from the depths of his mental sea.
He quickly looked away, with only one strong thought in his mind—escape!
If we stay any longer, we'll die!
But the very next second before he could escape, a strange, mocking mental fluctuation exploded deep within his mind:
"Oh~ How strong... I smell it, it's the smell of fear!"
Sensing the Nightmare Beast floating in his mental sea, Han Qing trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
when! ?
