That expression lasted only a moment before it was covered by the blazing red flames, leaving him as cold as ever.
Nie Qingyun had no time to worry about any of that. As he pulled his senior behind him, he took out six Primal Crystals from his Data Space and threw them out.
The flying crystal didn't even touch Liu Chengyuan's skin before being blown off course by the force of the punch.
Just then, a loud shout rang out through the night sky.
"[Granted Liberation]!"
The next instant, the two fists collided.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to lose its color.
Everything was reduced to black and white outlines, degenerating into lines.
Eventually, even the sound disappeared.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Nie Qingyun's tiny figure remained in the punching stance, facing Liu Chengyuan's massive body, which was as large as a mountain.
At a certain moment, a ripple suddenly emanated from the center of their fists, spreading outwards rapidly.
Wherever it passed, everything returned to its original state.
At the same time, a deafening roar, like thunder from a clear sky, exploded in the night sky.
The blue bricks beneath Nie Qingyun's feet shattered and flew into the air.
Liu Chengyuan's arms, as thick as buckets, began to twist and deform, his muscles began to rip, and the bursting blood mist stained everything around him.
Suddenly, the tall figure vanished from its spot, shooting towards the distant buildings along with a blast of air carrying sand and gravel.
"Boom!"
Amidst a series of impacts, Liu Chengyuan's body pierced through more than a dozen walls before finally coming to a stop inside an office building.
A trench more than ten feet wide was left in front of him, extending all the way to the center of the square.
Nie Qingyun gasped for breath before collapsing to the ground.
He had exhausted his strength.
However, it seems that the tactics were successful.
The effect of 【Graceful Liberation (Scroll)】 is that every 6 attacks, the damage from the 7th attack is negated; every 6 attacks, the 7th physical attack deals up to 300 times the current attribute value in power, and then 50% of the damage is returned to the user based on the actual damage dealt.
Nie Qingyun had already used up all the weapons in his [Data Space], but fortunately, the [Primordial Crystal] could also be used as a projectile after being thrown out.
This directly triggered the condition for the seventh guaranteed critical hit.
If it weren't for protecting his senior, Nie Qingyun originally didn't plan to use the [Graceful Liberation] scroll.
One reason is that Liu Chengyuan has the ability to foresee the future, so any close-range attacks that threaten him will be dodged.
Secondly, this skill differs from [Fire Blast] and [Ice Will]; it has stringent usage conditions and significant negative effects.
If used improperly, it can lead to a backlash from the skill, just like in the example above.
At this moment, Nie Qingyun could clearly feel some kind of uncontrollable force gathering into his body.
Even so, the sight before him made him gape in astonishment.
A ravine stretching a hundred meters long lay before us, like a scar left on the earth, grotesque and terrifying.
"Is this what a 300x critical hit is like...?"
Nie Qingyun murmured softly. If the pain in his body hadn't felt so real, he would have found it hard to believe that he had fired a shot that was comparable to a military electromagnetic cannon.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the attack, it could not truly kill Liu Chengyuan, a fact he was well aware of.
Just then, the sound of rubble and debris tumbling over came from between the buildings in the distance, and then a giant black shadow rushed out.
At the same time, Nie Qingyun's body was grabbed and thrown backward.
In a dizzying moment, he saw again Ling Yuan, whose eyes were burning with crimson flames, fighting against the demonized Liu Chengyuan.
However, this time, the senior's movements were obviously much slower, as if the effect of [Blood Frenzy] was fading.
Nie Qingyun once again concentrated all his mental energy into [Soul Synchronization], intending to use it to notify his senior to retreat.
However, such instructions were ruthlessly blocked.
The restless energy within his body was still accumulating; this was the backlash of the [Graceful Liberation]. Nie Qingyun could sense that in just a few seconds, he would be completely overwhelmed by this energy.
But if I die, will my senior be able to hold on during the resurrection period?
Speaking of my senior now...
It seems like they've completely lost their minds.
Like a monster...
Otherwise, why would she attack herself?
The thought of the moment his chest was pierced, and that indifferent expression, immediately comes to mind.
Nie Qingyun felt a pang of pain in his heart.
As for monsters... it wouldn't matter if they died, right?
Nie Qingyun tried to deceive herself with these words to alleviate the pain in her heart that felt like betrayal.
But such thoughts did not make him feel any better; on the contrary, they made it even more unbearable.
So... relationships are a troublesome thing...
It makes absolutely no sense.
Now that things have come to this, Nie Qingyun has no choice but to admit that even though his senior is of a different race, and even though she may become a monster in the future.
He couldn't bear to watch the other person die.
Looking back now, whether it was when I first escaped from Qin Hehuan's side or in all my subsequent actions, my senior sister helped me a lot.
If it weren't for his senior's constant support, he probably would have had difficulty even moving around normally back then.
Not to mention the subsequent search for the [Supply Center] and the rescue of the young lady.
Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun endured the pain and looked at Ling Yuan and Ellie.
Even though the girl before him no longer possessed human emotions, and even though [Resonance] had completely lost its effect.
But Nie Qingyun truly sensed his senior's desire to save him.
That being the case.
Then let me do something for you too...
This time, there was no interference from me, and it had nothing to do with monsters or humans.
Just go ahead and do what you want to do!
If you were still my lovely senior!
Even without [resonance], you'd still remember this command, right?
Seeing that Lingyuan Ellie was completely unable to withstand Liu Chengyuan's attacks, Nie Qingyun used the last bit of strength to stand up and suddenly opened his arms.
"hug!"
Upon hearing this, Lingyuan Ellie, who was still engaged in battle, suddenly lost her temper and looked at Nie Qingyun.
In an instant, she turned around and ran into his arms.
She also habitually wrapped her legs around the other person's waist.
Nie Qingyun glanced up at Liu Chengyuan, who was chasing after them, with a cold smile, and then gently stroked Ling Yuan Ai Li's hair.
"So you do remember..."
The next instant, he pulled out a dagger from behind his back and stabbed it into the artery in his neck.
"Please accept it, senior!"
"This is my last ripple!"
Blood gushed out like a high-pressure water gun, staining half of the girl's face red.
At the same time, the backlash power accumulated in Nie Qingyun's body also reached its limit.
In his final moments, he still uttered that line, a line that was both shameful and exhilarating.
"Blood Ripples Spread Rapidly!"
Chapter 129: Senior Sister and the Seventh Apostle (2.5k)
(This chapter has been revised; please refresh the page before reading.)
The instant Nie Qingyun lost consciousness, Ling Yuan Ai Li buried her head in his neck.
In an instant, countless swirling air currents surged up and surrounded the two of them.
The girl's jet-black hair began to fade at a visible speed, turning into a white and bright galaxy floating in the sky.
The flames burning in his eyes disappeared, revealing a pair of captivating crimson eyes.
She looked around blankly, as if she had no recollection of anything that had happened there.
As the four chaotic currents gradually subsided, the girl tilted her head slightly and looked at the man she was embracing.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if recalling related memories.
Just then, a monster's low growl suddenly came from behind her.
Looking over, Liu Chengyuan was on all fours like a four-legged beast, staring fiercely at them.
It then crashed into us like a cannonball.
The enormous body, over three meters tall, accelerated continuously, like a heavy tank, seemingly capable of crushing the two tiny beings in front of it in an instant.
However, Lingyuan Ai Li simply supported Nie Qingyun with one hand, slowly raised her other hand, palm facing forward, fingers spread out.
The next second, countless hexagonal matrices appeared out of thin air in front of her without warning. After simple rotation and adjustment, these matrices were finally pieced together to form a barrier of light.
"Boom!"
The demonized Liu Chengyuan crashed directly into the wall of light, producing a deafening sound. The immense force caused the ground to tremble slightly.
However, such an attack failed to harm the opponent in the slightest, only creating ripples on the wall of light.
Liu Chengyuan was dazed by the impact and shook his head a few times, letting out a series of low growls.
Lingyuan Ellie gazed thoughtfully at the monster before her, its crimson eyes like red gems in the night, radiating a bewitching glow.
Then she looked at Nie Qingyun, who had completely lost consciousness, and seemed to finally remember something, her originally calm expression turning slightly angry.
Then he clenched his right hand, which was supporting the barrier of light.
The wall, composed of countless hexagons, suddenly brightened, rapidly contracted and deformed, forming three overlapping barriers in front of the girl.
Each layer of the barrier is separated by a distance of about a few meters.
As the girl uttered a syllable with an unintelligible meaning, the foremost barrier instantly aimed at Liu Chengyuan's position. Subsequently, the two barriers behind shot out and collided with the first barrier.
In the blink of an eye, a bright blue light shone, illuminating the entire night sky.
Liu Chengyuan's body was like a battering ram striking him head-on, disappearing into the distant buildings.
At the same time, Lingyuan Ellie moved.
She gently placed Nie Qingyun's body on the ground, then turned around and lightly stomped her foot in the direction where Liu Chengyuan had disappeared.
The ground cracked open instantly, and countless huge rocks were sent flying into the air. As the girl made a throwing motion, the boulders seemed to be given enormous kinetic energy, shooting out with overwhelming force.
The boulder crashed into the buildings, creating a series of deafening roars, but the girl's attack did not stop there.
She strolled leisurely among the rubble and tiles, and everything around her seemed to lose its gravity and fly upwards into the air.
The green vegetation was uprooted along with the soil, and countless buildings began to collapse and crumble, all of which, along with the sky-covering dust, drifted into the distance.
The girl was already walking slowly forward, but her tiny figure seemed like a god from the heavens, casually casting destruction upon everything around her.
Even the earth began to tremble and groan.
Everything only calmed down after a building tens of meters high collapsed under the weight of the continuous impacts.
Lingyuan Ellie stopped and stared at the ruins in the distance for a long time. When she saw no further movement, she turned to look at Nie Qingyun lying on the ground.
