Back Then, He Was Called a Monster
The wronged teammate called out to her, Yu Xing lazily responded, "Hmm."
The seemingly fragile branch, with a tip as sharp as a needle, suddenly sprang up, like a giant snake launched into the air, and stabbed back towards the Meng Dao's head.
The Meng Dao twisted to dodge, but its first attack missed. The branch was immediately pulled from the snow and used to pierce and attack again.
"Heh." With ample combat experience, Meng Dao quickly adjusted Yu Xing's threat level.
Is this branch Captain Broken Mirror's weapon?
Its attack speed is incredibly fast, almost invisible to the naked eye, and its hardness is comparable to armor; it can even block his blade, making it truly difficult to deal with.
But that's all.
The Meng Dao had dealt with far more terrifying monsters; a mere twig was full of openings.
He found an opening in just a few seconds, turned around, and rushed back to Yu Xing with afterimage speed. This time he used both swords at the same time. The terrifying curved weapons drew deadly arcs and quickly slashed across Yu Xing's neck.
Right now, in front of everyone, he's going to kill the captain of the Broken Mirror!
The sickening sound of flesh tearing apart filled everyone's ears. The piled-up snow exploded, blood blossomed, and sprayed several meters, staining large patches of snow red.
A person was pierced by countless branches that pierced upwards from below, leaving countless bloody holes in his chest, abdomen, limbs, neck, and even his head...
The sturdy branches, propelled by their momentum, instantly lifted the limp body to the height of a three- or four-story building. The branches intertwined densely, their sharp tips seemingly threatening to pierce the eyes of onlookers.
The movement lasts only a moment, like an insignificant frame in an animation.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a deafening roar, so fast it was almost an illusion, rang in my ears. Branches shot up from the ground, then came to a standstill after killing their target, forming a sudden, enormous shape.
Like a bloody display case, it shows a powerless rag doll.
Two knives belatedly slipped from the rag doll's hands, clattering together with two sharp sounds before disappearing into the snow, startling the stunned onlookers.
Yu Xing gracefully patted off non-existent bloodstains on her coat, and amidst the horrified gazes of the deducers, lightly repeated the first sentence she had spoken to the Meng Dao: "You?"
The Meng Dao's blood trickled down the branches, mingling with the screams of its terrified underlings.
What just happened?
Most people didn't even see it clearly.
A small number of people who saw it clearly were even more terrified.
[That was... done in a second?]
[... Is the Meng Dao dead? No, I saw it slit Meng Dao's throat, and then its eyes flashed, how did it end up like this???]
[Holy crap, holy crap, did you guys see those branches?!]
[I already knew what was going to happen when that branch suddenly popped out. It was shrouded in a strong, ominous aura. I felt dizzy just looking at it. It must be a weapon of mass destruction. But then...]
[I'll explain for you, but it turns out there are countless of these deadly weapons?]
[Ren Yi: The Meng Dao was completely crushed. His knife should have actually touched Xing, but Xing's body blurred for a moment, teleporting back two centimeters and avoiding a fatal attack.]
[Ren Yi: Then three hundred and forty-two branches simultaneously shot out from the ground, blocking all of the Meng Dao's escape routes. The Meng Dao tried to dodge three times, but failed on the fourth.]
[Zeng Lai:...]
[Lu Xiaorong: Holy crap... He got away with it! Where are the Yan Ming? Put them back!]
[Zhao Mou: 6]
[Zhao Ruru: Brother Mou, I'm speaking for you! What are you doing~ Ouch]
[Ren Yi: But Meng Dao didn't die. He activated the perfect sacrificial corpse, and his true form has been randomly teleported to another location on the simulation map.]
[Qiu Ziyan: This map seems small, limited to the vicinity of Nanshui Town. He might have teleported directly to the town.]
[Holy crap, the big shots were definitely spying on us.]
[I know the perfect corpse can only be used once per simulation. It saved Meng Dao from many certain death situations, but this time it was gone right at the start. Terrifying.]
[Let's not get off topic. Am I the only one feeling chills? Luckily... after launching an attack of this magnitude, he doesn't seem tired at all.]
[This person is terrifying, what level is they?]
I'm not sure what to say.
I dare not say.
[I was scared this time, but I don't think it's shameful. You can see in the simulation that many senior figures have the same expression as me.]
Live streaming can transmit images and sound, but only those who are physically present can fully experience the indescribable shock and overwhelming fear.
Several lower-level individuals stared blankly at the massive cluster of branches, completely unaware that their minds were crumbling, until they suddenly knelt down, jolting awake from their daydream.
Hua Subai and Yan Li watched this scene in the town. Yan Li's expression was solemn, and he unconsciously swallowed, getting goosebumps all over his body.
He turned to look at Hua Subai, who had just been on good terms with Yu Xing: "Is this the true strength of a Broken Mirror Captain?"
Hua Subai felt inexplicably weak. "Um... that's right."
After saying that, he ignored Yan Li's interpretation of his hesitation and muttered softly, "Damn it, how did this kid manage to get such a huge job out of the way? I need to count how many times I can get him to do it... once, twice, three times..."
Yan Li listened to this strange statement and pursed his lips in thought.
For someone of his stature, it wouldn't be shocking, but it would be astonishing.
It's like there are only a few familiar people of the same level, and suddenly one appears out of nowhere. Those of them who are already familiar with each other will definitely have a greater desire to investigate than others.
He glanced at Medusa, who was staring intently at Yu Xing, then looked away.
Outside the town, Zhang Yu's mouth gaped open, and he only managed to utter a few words when Yu Xing turned around to signal him to keep going. "Team team team team team team..."
It's possible that not all of it was recovered.
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you ask me to stand up for you?" Yu Xing raised an eyebrow.
"I... I... I... I..." Zhang Yu finally managed to straighten his tongue, "I didn't expect the captain to be so strong... Is the Meng Dao dead?"
Yu Xing: "Who is Meng Dao?"
Everyone: "..."
The next second, Yu Xing realized what was going on, and a smile crept onto her lips, "Oh, you mean this guy who came looking for death. He's not dead; his presence is still in town. Taking his life is just a small lesson for him."
A few words succinctly revealed the fact that he could still track down and continue killing.
Nanshui Town is strange. Logically speaking, Yu Xing shouldn't be able to sense someone's presence from that far away. After all, the obstacle in between is not only distance, but also supernatural forces.
But just now, when the first branch pierced the Meng Dao's body, Yu Xing had already planted a curse into its soul. The Meng Dao's current location was like a locator to Yu Xing.
In the silence, Yu Xing turned her head and glanced at the place where the Fallen Path converged.
People in his line of sight instinctively turned to the side, revealing the long, distorted human figure.
The woman seeking flowers met his gaze coldly, the scissors behind her eyes chillingly sharp.
Yu Xing tilted his head, revealing his first noticeable smile since entering the deduction process, and raised his voice, "Are you satisfied with the results of the test?"
A hint of madness and an unrestrained, morbid savagery were vividly displayed in his laughter. He licked his lower lip, and a red line flashed across his face.
"You can do it yourself next time."
Yu Xing has had instances of not restraining himself in the past.
At that time, he was called a monster.
