316: Death resistance, invincible posture!
At this very moment, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as if even the air had become still.
Fang Nanxi couldn't hear the voice of a single guard Martial Artist.
In the darkness, there was only the violent thumping of her own heart.
What was that tremor just now? Why couldn't she hear anything?
Lying in a mud pit, Fang Nanxi suddenly had this thought amidst her despair.
At this moment, her image was far from that of a favored daughter of the heavens; her body was covered in mud and water, her clothes soaked, making her appear utterly disheveled.
Fang Nanxi's knuckles were white from clenching; though young, she wasn't as weak and tearful as an ordinary woman.
In her despair, her eyes held an astonishing determination.
"It's just a pity I can't avenge you all..."
Fang Nanxi was not a delicate, weak woman; despite her youth, she was already a Third-Grade Martial Artist.
However, she focused solely on Cultivating and had very little actual combat experience.
Xu Ying had never let her personally engage in combat during the entire escort journey.
But even if she had been battle-hardened, what good would it do? This army of Others was abnormally restrained in their instincts; usually, when Others saw humans, they would charge like unbridled wild dogs.
They would madly pounce, their killing intent showing almost no rationality.
This was also why humans could establish a firm foothold in the underground.
An army of Others that didn't follow commands, fighting against a unified and coordinated human army, it was clear that even though Others were naturally stronger than humans, they couldn't withstand the superiority of human strategy and tactics.
And the combat quality of this abnormal army was astonishing; she saw no hope of escape, let alone revenge.
If all her guard Martial Artists were wiped out, then she would absolutely not cling to life only to face an unknown, tragic fate.
Rather than suffer humiliation, she would choose to perish together.
It just benefited Fang Han, that traitor, that scoundrel!
"Ah! Ah!"
Subsequently, a beast-like howl continuously echoed over the entire ruins.
Fang Nanxi suddenly heard bursts of roars, seemingly from the Others.
But she couldn't see what was happening outside, so she could only bite her silver teeth and silently huddle in the dirt pit.
At this moment, Shen Bei, moving like a flash of lightning, once again drew his blade, and the army of Others, which would have required a brutal struggle from the guard Martial Artists, was dealt with.
With one bright flash of his blade, thirty people died instantly!
This kind of blade technique, which made one's scalp tingle and eyes burst, was utterly shocking.
What was even more astonishing was that the army of Others seemed utterly terrified by Shen Bei's brutality and instant kills.
The surviving Others couldn't stop their bodies from trembling, and the fierce intent in their eyes towards Shen Bei was gone, much like fierce hungry wolves turning into docile puppies!
To say it wasn't shocking would be a lie.
Originally, when the Other army clashed with the guard Martial Artists, more than 10 people had already died.
And Shen Bei instantly killed 30 people in one move!
The original army of a hundred was almost halved!
Moreover, this wasn't even Shen Bei using a big move, just one strike!
Two more strikes... and everyone would be gone!
The Others were already scared to death!
After a brief silence, the Others' rationality regained control, and they immediately... scattered and fled in a panic!
Shen Bei: ...
Shen Bei looked at the fleeing army of Others, quite displeased.
They gave up before even warming up?
This was the elite of the Other army?
How dare they launch a sneak attack on human territory...
Meanwhile, the guard Martial Artists were all dumbfounded, exclaiming in surprise:
"What... what just happened?"
"Hiss~~~ This guy's Spell is truly astonishing!"
"Terrifying, truly terrifying! In a few flashes, heads rolled!"
"Is he a reaper?"
"Is he a Martial Artist? Why are we all Martial Artists, yet this guy is so ferocious?"
"What kind of blade technique was that? It almost blinded me!"
...
Just as the guard Martial Artists were still deeply shocked by Shen Bei's astonishing blade technique, which shattered the Others' psychological defenses with one move, Shen Bei turned and waved his hand:
"What are you still looking at? Chase them! Beat them while they're down!"
At this, the guard Martial Artists finally came to their senses, filled with hatred and fury, and all grabbed their weapons to pursue the remnants of the Others.
Shen Bei naturally led the charge.
This game of chasing a drowning dog was simply too exhilarating!
As for Zhuang Bifan...
Shen Bei wasn't too worried; he surely had his own abilities to deal with that Red-Clad Otherworlder.
Just as Shen Bei was excitedly giving chase, he suddenly heard Zhuang Bifan's loud cry for help from behind: "Shen Bei! I'm injured! Support!"
Shen Bei abruptly stopped.
He saw that the long cylindrical mirrors that had surrounded the Red-Clad Otherworlder had shattered.
At the same time, the Red-Clad Otherworlder's entire body seemed to be burning with black Death Qi, which surged and lingered around him.
Even at the edges where the Death Qi writhed, space began to distort.
At this moment, Zhuang Bifan had a cut on his chest, from which blood flowed.
However... Shen Bei tilted his head; with this level of injury, to put it bluntly, a golden teapot wouldn't even spray out much money.
This was called injured?
"Are you, you bastard, under some misunderstanding? Deal with it yourself; I still have to chase the Others."
Shen Bei genuinely disdained Zhuang Bifan.
A little girl?
Damn it.
This small wound, if you don't go to the hospital soon, it's going to heal!
Zhuang Bifan, hearing this from a distance, almost spat blood and hurriedly shouted: "No joke! The enemy's Death Qi corrodes the flesh through the wound! Even a little bit, and you'll be crippled if not dead!"
Just as Zhuang Bifan was about to trap and kill the Red-Clad Otherworlder within the mirrors, he was accidentally cut by the enemy's dagger.
Immediately after, the Red-Clad Otherworlder stopped all offensive actions and instead enveloped his entire body in Death Qi.
And that Death Qi seemed to have a homing ability; as soon as Zhuang Bifan appeared from within the mirror, the Death Qi directly burrowed towards the wound on Zhuang Bifan's chest.
This made Zhuang Bifan realize why, back in the house, fireballs and iron shards were the priority attacks on everyone.
The purpose was not to kill, but to create wounds!
With wounds, human Martial Artists were practically in the Red-Clad Otherworlder's grasp.
Therefore, after discovering this anomaly, Zhuang Bifan dared not emerge from the mirror to attack again.
He could only watch helplessly as the Red-Clad Otherworlder shattered the mirrors and escaped.
At this moment, Shen Bei, hearing this, had a thought and came to the same conclusion as Zhuang Bifan.
It seemed that to deal with this Red-Clad Otherworlder... it had to be him.
After all, once a Martial Artist dared not exchange injuries, they would fall into a huge passive position.
And the Red-Clad Otherworlder, after escaping, looked at the chaotic battlefield, with heads rolling everywhere.
In an instant, veins bulged on his neck, and his eyes were filled with an abyss-like horror and fury!
He had only been trapped for a few breaths, and his subordinates... his subordinates were killed by half!
How was this possible!
Shock, terror, and absurdity, like a raging storm, instantly swept through his heart, making him feel as if struck by lightning, his body and mind completely frozen in that moment.
One must know that his subordinates had extremely high combat training!
Yet, in this battle where they had every advantage, they met their demise in the Yellow Springs, without even leaving complete corpses!
Boundless hatred and ferocity burned fiercely in his heart!
The only thought left in his mind now was—
To avenge them!
"Kuri Meng Cha!"
The Red-Clad Otherworlder roared, his entire body's Death Qi rising steadily, like a fiend burning with boundless black fire!
"You, it must be you!"
The Red-Clad pulled out a long bow, and Death Qi slowly gathered on the bow and arrow, actually forming a grim, Yin Qi-filled skull!
And in the skull's mouth was a sharp black sword!
Shen Bei stood afar, gazing; the design of this bow and arrow... he could only say it didn't conform to aerodynamics.
No wonder the technology of the underground was so backward...
"Die! Die for me!"
Swoosh~~~
The skull arrow tore through the air, shooting straight towards Shen Bei.
In this urgent and fierce attack, Shen Bei's eyes suddenly opened.
He took a step with the Seven Stars Steps, dodging to the side.
He thought he could evade the shot of this strange arrow.
But unexpectedly, the skull arrow actually curved, chasing Shen Bei's figure!
Pfft~~~
The Death Qi at the tip of the skull arrow suddenly retracted, revealing the sharp point of a steel sword, instantly cutting a gash on Shen Bei's arm.
Afterward, the Death Qi on the skull arrow, like a shark smelling blood, began to frantically burrow into Shen Bei's wound.
Shen Bei frowned, seemingly wanting to cut off the Death Qi, but how could gas be cut off!
There seemed to be only one way...
Before the Death Qi massively invaded his body, he could directly sever his arm...
At this very moment.
Zhuang Bifan, observing from a distance, instantly widened his tiger-like eyes, his heart violently shaking, the unbelievable horror even making it difficult for him to breathe.
Shen Bei... was careless, he didn't dodge.
After being hit by the arrow, the Death Qi invaded!
This scene made Zhuang Bifan's heart feel as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.
He had thought of letting Shen Bei, who was physically intact, deal with this troublesome Red-Clad Otherworlder.
But... he got injured right away.
They were equally useless!
Although Zhuang Bifan's expression was extremely gloomy, twisted, and even held a hint of subtle fear, he knew that even if Shen Bei died now, as long as he himself didn't die, he could still bring Shen Bei's body out of the underground.
Then hand it over to Professor Gu Xinrou of Shencheng Martial Arts University.
As for why he had to hand it over to her, Zhuang Bifan didn't know; Shen Bei had only told him to do so, and not to abandon his body.
Perhaps there was some unspeakable secret?
Zhuang Bifan vaguely guessed that Shen Bei might have a second life...
In the Martial Artist world, there were simply too many strange Spells and Martial Skills; if you could think of it, it could be done.
So, Zhuang Bifan didn't have time to think about other things.
He immediately looked for a corner to hide, lest he be discovered by the Red-Clad Otherworlder.
Fortunately, there were still a few guard Martial Artists on the periphery who could attract the Red-Clad Otherworlder's attention.
However, precisely at this moment, Shen Bei, hit by the arrow, raised his arm and watched the Death Qi continuously drilling in, and then being pushed out.
These two silent forces at the wound were like a tug-of-war, 'you come in, I push you out,' going back and forth, like a bustling market entrance.
And Shen Bei suddenly sneered: "Is that all? Your Spell hasn't been Cultivated to perfection!"
His mere 20% Death Qi resistance attribute was actually able to prevent the Death Qi from invading!
That could only mean one thing: the Red-Clad Otherworlder's Spell was too weak, so weak it was laughable, only capable of bullying Martial Artists who didn't have the Fifth Dimension Attribute of Death Qi resistance.
The Red-Clad Otherworlder in the distance, seeing this, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his eyes changed drastically!
How could this be...
Invaded by Death Qi, shouldn't he be falling to the ground, wailing, with Death Qi spewing from his seven orifices, his life being taken?
But this Martial Artist in front of him... seemed unaffected!
Zhuang Bifan's mind also went blank.
What the hell was this situation again?
Shen Bei actually ignored the invasion of Death Qi?
This was too abnormal, wasn't it?
At this moment, Shen Bei's eyes were filled with ferocity, excitement, and exhilaration as he looked at the Red-Clad Otherworlder:
"It's my turn to teach you a lesson, you dog!"
With a thunderous roar, amidst the shaking of the earth, Shen Bei once again used the Seven Stars Steps, shooting forth!
The long blade in his hand also emitted a joyful hum, as he charged forward to kill!
