Chapter 149 A Murderer Saves People?!

"Bang!!!"

On the streets of District B, Chen Yu burst forth!!!

He was so fast that the onlookers in the distance only felt a blur before their eyes as a gale swept past!!!

A boy standing by the roadside, who hadn't had time to dodge, felt a massive force collide with him from the side!

"Bang—"

His entire body felt like it had been hit head-on by a truck; his feet left the ground, and he flew three or four meters through the air!!!

"Crash..."

He slammed heavily into a palm tree by the road. The trunk shook violently, and leaves showered the ground!

In Chen Yu's hand, that massive Boning Knife had just appeared, carving a piercingly cold glint in the sunlight. The meter-long blade reflected light so brightly people couldn't keep their eyes open.

The crowd of onlookers instantly erupted.

"Holy crap! Is it really the murderer?! What kind of speed is that?!"

"It's like he's freaking flying, just a gust of wind passing by?!"

"Just what kind of Talent did this guy awaken? He ignores the Eye of Peace, and his strength and speed are both so fierce?!"

Zhang Zixuan saw Chen Yu rushing toward her,

Saw the cold glint on that knife getting closer and closer,

Saw the person who gave her nightmares every single day approaching at a terrifying speed.

"No... No..."

Zhang Zixuan stumbled a step back,

But then—

"Whoosh."

A pale blue crystal flew past her cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood.

She screamed and turned her head away.

Another crystal struck from the side, grazing her waist. Her clothes were sliced open, and flesh was exposed.

"Ah—!!!"

She let out a wretched cry and fled, stumbling.

But the crystals followed her like a shadow.

One after another, they flew in from all directions.

Each time they grazed her body, they left a trail of blood.

Shoulder.

Arm.

Thigh.

Back.

She was bleeding all over, yet not a single crystal had actually pierced through her.

Lin Yue stood in the distance, tilting her head as she watched it all.

Sunlight fell on her well-behaved and delicate face, her lips curling into a slight smile: "Sister Zixuan, you're running so slowly. I'm going to kill you with my own hands right in front of Chen Yu~"

Her voice was timid and soft.

She raised her hand again.

More crystals surged out from all around her.

Zhang Zixuan could no longer run. Her face was covered in tears, and broken sobs escaped her mouth.

"Holy shit, did you guys see that?! Who is that girl?!"

"I don't know! Never seen her! But those crystals were made by her, right?!"

"She's chasing Zhang Zixuan too?!"

"I get it! Zhang Zixuan is caught in the middle!"

"In other words, the murderer wants to save Zhang Zixuan, but that girl won't allow it???"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Such a rare event was actually happening in District B.

Just then—

Zhang Zixuan's ankle suddenly twisted.

A crystal that had just grazed her sliced her calf. She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Her knees hit the gravel, and blood splattered.

She tried to get up, but her legs no longer obeyed her, only shaking uncontrollably.

She raised her head and looked back.

Lin Yue stood over ten meters away, tilting her head as she looked at her.

She raised her hand.

The crystals around her instantly erupted with blinding light.

Countless tiny crystals surged from her side, spreading and extending like vines, intertwining in the air to form a dense thicket of spikes, each one as thin as a hair.

They surged toward Zhang Zixuan.

Like a net.

Like a flower in full bloom.

Zhang Zixuan's pupils shrank violently.

In that instant, a face flashed through her mind.

Liu Xiaoqian.

A few days ago, Liu Xiaoqian had just been brought back to life.

That night, Zhang Zixuan had lain on the ground, listening to everything that happened.

"She locked me in a dark room..."

"She didn't say anything, just looked at me... kept looking at me..."

"Then those crystals came out... growing from her palm... so thin, thinner than hair..."

"She asked me, 'Do you like Chen Yu?'"

"I said I didn't... I really didn't... I just wanted to live..."

"Then those spikes crawled in..."

"From the fingertips... bit by bit... crawling up..."

"It didn't hurt... it was just cold... just itchy... just the feeling of something moving inside my body..."

"I watched them under my skin... bit by bit... moving up..."

"I wanted to scream... but I couldn't..."

"She just stood there watching me... kept watching me... kept laughing..."

Even now, Zhang Zixuan could still recall Liu Xiaoqian's terrified voice.

Now, she was facing that very nightmare scenario.

—I'm going to die—

—I'm going to die—

—I'm going to die—

Zhang Zixuan closed her eyes. She didn't doubt for a second that Lin Yue would kill her.

Those fine spikes were already close at hand; she could feel the chill, closing in on her skin bit by bit.

She could even imagine what would happen in the next second...

Those spikes, burrowing into her blood vessels, crawling up with the blood, taking root, sprouting, and blooming inside her body.

Just like Liu Xiaoqian.

She trembled all over,

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Nothing happened.

That chill had vanished.

Zhang Zixuan snapped her eyes open.

A black figure stood before her.

A black windbreaker snapped in the wind, its hem fluttering.

Chen Yu.

He just stood there, standing between her and those crystals.

His right hand was raised.

That hand, encased in a black glove with fingers slightly spread, was aimed directly at the fine spikes that were already inches away.

In the next moment, the crystals that had reached her eyes seemed to hit an invisible wall,

Instantly disintegrating into countless points of light.

The wind swept the points of light away, flickering in the sunlight before disappearing completely.

Lin Yue stood not far away, staring blankly at the scene.

"Chen... Chen Yu?"

Her proud, SSS-grade Perfect Crystal was just gone like that?

She lowered her head and looked at her hand.

Her palm was empty.

She looked up again at Chen Yu.

"So powerful..."

"My crystal... my Perfect Crystal, could actually be countered?!"

She took a deep breath, her whole body trembling slightly: "As expected of the boy I like..."

Zhang Zixuan slumped on the ground, gasping for air.

Her legs were still shaking, but she was alive after all.

Those crystals hadn't burrowed into her body, hadn't bloomed inside her.

She looked up at the black back in front of her.

That windbreaker still gently fluttering in the breeze.

That hand still wearing the glove.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

Even if she had to go back to being a dog afterward.

But at least she wouldn't end up in that pathetic state like Liu Xiaoqian.

And for the crowd of onlookers,

Their suspended hearts finally settled.

Many people frantically uploaded everything they saw to the regional chat.

It was the same for all three schools.
