Chapter 1995: Chapter 1995
Yet Tang Ye, being Level 9, had reflexes that Level 8 couldn’t even dream of! Despite the astonishing thrust of Su Sigui’s sword, Tang Ye finally sensed it coming.
He spun around suddenly, his two-meter-long blade simultaneously drawing a blood-red chill in the air, and with sheer brute force, smashed open the sword thrust by Su Sigui!
A terrifying storm whipped up dust everywhere, and the direction the sword tip pointed shifted, but it didn’t surprise Su Sigui. The thrusting sword floated lightly and rapidly withdrew, her entire body slipping back like a ghost.
At some point, Tang Ye had another identical brownish-red fleshy long blade in his other hand, and with a swing of his body, he exerted his maximum strength and hurled the extra fleshy long blade!
The menacing sharp blade, as before, slid close to her waist, then grazed her fair neck, before crashing into a ruin like a missile, reducing countless building fragments to dust!
The long blade, laden with terrifying power, also tore open a fissure in the ground!
She didn’t look back, starting to jog, agilely wielding a blade and a sword, and the next second, Su Sigui’s figure transformed into a phantom, leaving a "V" shaped trail on the ravaged street, instantly arriving before Tang Ye like a bouncing ball, slashing with a knife, then swinging out a sword with an impossible stance!
Tang Ye blocked repeatedly, cautiously handling her every attack, but ultimately, he underestimated Su Sigui’s combat prowess.
Her attacks were fast and precise, and with just his two hands, blocking her attacks was already exceedingly difficult, making room for offense was simply impossible!
The crackling sounds were incessant, and when Tang Ye finally found an opportunity to attack, Su Sigui used her speed to create hundreds of meters of distance between them!
When Tang Ye looked over, she stood elegantly in the distance, without a combat stance, holding a sword in one hand and a knife in the other, as if the fight never happened. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
He didn’t chase, instead, he glanced downward to his waist, where his clothing was unknowingly slashed with a large slit, straight but not harming him.
Tang Ye understood, it was the opponent showing mercy, or else, if it were anyone else, the slit wouldn’t have been on clothes but a clean cut in half!
He eyed the tunnel behind Su Sigui, licked his lips, trying to suppress the impatience inside him.
"Move aside," he sternly ordered her, but Su Sigui wouldn’t listen, asking instead, "Still not ready to give up?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye looked at the sky and couldn’t help but laugh, the laughter was somewhat mad, "Su Sigui, do you honestly think you can defeat me?"
Tang Ye wasn’t lying, the previous combat had reservations due to personal reasons, but as time passed, those reservations were nearly worn away.
If he let go of everything, leveraging the zombie’s brute body and exchanging injury for injury with Su Sigui, as a New Human, Su Sigui wouldn’t withstand it!
He issued Su Sigui a final ultimatum!
"Don’t force me!" Tang Ye threatened, and Su Sigui also fell silent, understanding both her own and Tang Ye’s strength well enough. Her speed indeed surpassed Tang Ye’s slightly, but the power discrepancy was more than slight; Tang Ye’s power was at least 1.5 times hers!
If Tang Ye entangled her, it might cost heavy injury to break free!
So, from beginning to end, she never allowed Tang Ye any chance to touch her!
Soon, she began to move, her eyes crossing a distance of hundreds of meters to directly meet Tang Ye’s gaze, as if telling him, "If you want to pass, use all your strength!"
A surge of anger rose in Tang Ye’s heart, but he said nothing, his actions told all! The hand holding the knife began the flesh rolling, his pupils faintly tinged red!
Though Su Sigui said nothing, she was secretly vigilant; just as she anticipated Tang Ye would strike first, she suddenly saw him calm down for some reason.
Confused, she watched Tang Ye become exceptionally relaxed, showing no sign of wanting to attack.
This was because Tang Ye suddenly thought of a way to quickly defeat Su Sigui.
For this method, he should really thank Dairya.
Su Sigui stopped walking too, holding her blade and sword more firmly!
As she pondered what Tang Ye was up to, she found his eyes seemed to possess a certain magic, irresistibly drawing hers!
At the same time, a sudden feeling of unease jolted her to awakening, her intense sixth sense warning her frantically!
Don’t look! Absolutely don’t look!
She wanted to avert her gaze, but it was too late; dizziness arrived, and for a brief instant, everything went dark, and when she saw light again, before her was no longer the battered Cloud Gorge Base but bustling streets filled with people.
"Where is this..." All at once, distant memories emerged, and she felt a bit lost.
What was she supposed to do...?
She vaguely remembered needing to go home, but she didn’t want to go to that home.
No, everything is wrong... She wasn’t supposed to go home, what did she do the moment before?
Suddenly snapping back, every moment of her fight with Tang Ye flashed through her mind, the confusion in her eyes immediately turned sharp, but quickly became dazed again.
She couldn’t feel that world-rending power of hers as a Level 9 New Human anymore, reverting back to a feeble ordinary person.
"Back again?" Her expression grew increasingly complex; she watched the hurried people on the street and heard their conversations, everything was dreamlike, reminiscent of waking up by the train tracks.
She reached out to touch the nearby streetlight, feeling its cold iron texture.
Everything felt so real...
It was becoming difficult to discern reality from illusion; everything started anew, she wore her orange and white school uniform, gripping the straps of her backpack at the intersection, unaware the traffic light had turned green.
She couldn’t muster any joy.
Because she came too soon.
She didn’t want to experience herself at this stage; if everything started anew, she’d rather be surrounded by menacing, rotting zombies upon awakening!
Perhaps standing here too long, people passing by began focusing their eyes on her, scrutinizing. Years of surviving in the apocalypse sharpened her awareness of people’s gazes, belatedly, she stepped across to the other side of the street, joining them.
Walking along, behold this familiar road, this path home...
