73: Chapter 73 Instant Kill

Chapter 73: Instant Kill (Seeking Subscriptions)

The moment Li Wen lunged out, he poured all his strength into his right leg, sweeping it like a battle axe at the bottom support point of the stack of precast slabs.

[Remember this site's domain name: Taiwan Novel Website has many books, super convenient]

Crash!!!

That stack of precast slabs, already extremely unstable and three to four meters high, collapsed with a roar, resembling a small landslide.

Huge concrete blocks and dust instantly submerged Li Wen's original position and the path he was rushing from the left.

But more crucially, this collapse perfectly blocked the Blue-Clothed and the two Green-Clothed figures who were rushing up from below.

The three were momentarily obstructed by the sudden collapse.

When experts contend, victory or defeat hinges on a hair's breadth.

This unexpected event disrupted the attackers' perfect timing rhythm.

And Li Wen, after executing the kick, relied on powerful waist and abdominal strength and minute control to violently twist and shift his force mid-air.

He was not lunging forward at all; that lunge was merely a feint creating a false impression.

At the instant his body almost touched the ground, relying on the Unity Realm's terrifying absolute control over the Physical Body, he forcefully altered the trajectory of his descending center of gravity.

Like a distorted, refracted ray of light, he actually—under the cover of the smoke and collapse—flashed back lightning-fast toward the enemy figure in light purple on the far right, who was half a beat slower in dodging the direction of the precast slabs.

This reversal was fast! Deceptive! And it seized the only gap available during the moment of encirclement.

The light purple enemy's pupils had just captured the image of Li Wen sweeping back, his Saber Intent leaving behind a trail like a crescent moon's glow, and he only managed to hastily raise his saber to block.

Clang! Snap!

A sharp detonation and the sound of shattering bone rang out.

The Saber Intent, imbued with the explosive technique 'Piercing Sun,' carried the power condensation efficiency brought by Li Wen's 77% control, fiercely shattering the hastily blocked blade edge at extremely close range, while simultaneously cutting deeply into the purple-clothed enemy's neck side.

Pfft! This purple-clothed enemy was flung away like a broken sack, his body already beginning to dissipate in mid-air.

Points +500!

The other two attackers, the medium purple and deep purple figures, roared in anger as their attacks missed, and their Saber Intent locked onto Li Wen surging out of the smoke once more.

At this moment, the Blue-Clothed and two Green-Clothed figures, who had been momentarily blocked below, had just leaped over the ruins and lunged in with belated ferocity.

However, the instant Li Wen struck down the purple-clothed enemy, he had already calculated his landing spot.

He made two consecutive points off the piled debris with his feet, his figure showing no stagnation whatsoever, and rushed into a narrow alley beside him like a phantom.

He abandoned the optimal moment to fight the remaining two purple figures and the three higher-Ranked enemies head-on, choosing instead to utilize the terrain to disengage.

This retreat was not cowardice, but a repositioning of the battlefield rhythm perceived by his Primordial Spirit.

He killed the highest threat unit, successfully broke the encirclement, disrupted the enemy formation, and escaped into the new battlefield completely unharmed.

Reality: After a brief, suffocating silence, the Third Middle School spectator area completely erupted.

"My God! He took down a light purple!"

"That was brilliant! How did he think of using the ruin collapse to divide the enemies?!"

"That reversal! That dodge! Is he even human?!"

"Look at the points! Look at the points! 2600 points!"

Real-time Points Ranking (Qingshi County):

1. Jiang Lingyun (First Middle School) - 2870 Points

2. Li Wen (Third Middle School) - 2640 Points

Li Wen's Rank on the list instantly shot up like a rocket, closing in on the top spot!

His performance was no longer 'a hopeful top ten,' but clearly told everyone: He was challenging for the highest throne!

The dust had not yet settled on the ruined street. The remaining two purple figures and three higher-Ranked enemies stared at the spot where their comrade dissipated and the empty alley, a trace of programmed confusion seeming to flicker in their eyes.

But that confusion was quickly drowned out by the Killing Intent command, and they immediately pursued the direction Li Wen had vanished.

Li Wen, who had just slipped into the alley, did not immediately flee far.

His Primordial Spirit covered the scan once more—

Fifteen meters ahead, behind the corner wall, a Blue-Clothed Saber Wielder was holding his breath—Further away, next to a trash can, two Green-Clothed Archers were drawing their bows—

The jade-like figure in his Sea of Consciousness flowed with light. His Mental Energy consumption was not small, but it remained stable.

[Remaining assessment time: 01:19:47]

The true test was far from over.

His true strength had also only shown a tip of the iceberg.

In the shadow atop the Energy Tower, three unsettling auras seemed to have become clearer.

The ruins of the Doomsday District were perfectly visible in Li Wen's eyes.

The jade-like Primordial Spirit coiled in his Sea of Consciousness, sending out an invisible ripple that swept fifty meters around him.

Fifteen meters ahead, behind the corner wall, the Blue-Clothed Saber Wielder holding his breath.

Further away, next to the trash can, the two Green-Clothed Archers drawing their bows—

And behind him, relentlessly pursuing, enveloped in fierce Killing Intent, the two purple figures—the medium purple and the deep purple—were all exposed within his perception.

Especially the deep purple figure; the trajectory of his surging Qi and blood, the nodes where his muscle fibers exerted force, and even the condensed Saber Intent held back on his blade were far clearer than the medium purple beside him.

It represented the theoretical limit beneath the Momentum Realm: the 'Unity Realm 100% Physical Body Control' simulated by the program.

Li Wen did not evade the archers' path; instead, he suddenly accelerated, charging fiercely toward the corner where the Blue-Clothed figure lay in ambush.

Just as fierce light flashed in the Blue-Clothed Saber Wielder's eyes and his blade stabbed out like a venomous dragon leaving its cave—Buzz!

Primordial Spirit pulled, Divine Sense locked on!

Every intention of the Blue-Clothed figure, the subtle vibration of the blade breaking the air, and even the slightest, imperceptible hesitation in the body's center of gravity shift were magnified as if under high-speed slow motion.

Absolute Focus activated! The world instantly froze.

'Piercing Sun!' he roared silently in his heart.

In the hairline gap before the Blue-Clothed figure's Saber Intent reached its Peak and before the center of gravity shift was complete, Li Wen's body rotated sideways with an extremely small amplitude that defied physics. The long saber in his hand did not meet force with force but transformed into a distorted, elongated streak of blood-colored light.

Swish!

Fast! Indescribably fast!

This was not just speed; it was precisely seizing the node, utilizing the opponent's spent force while their new force hadn't yet generated—a fatal strike in that instant.

The deep purple virtual figure seemed to perceive Li Wen's intention and let out a low, simulated roar, trying to intercept.

But that streak of blood-colored light had already struck first, bypassing the gap in the Blue-Clothed figure's defense with pinpoint accuracy, like a red-hot dinner knife cutting into frozen oil, instantly slicing across the Blue-Clothed figure's throat.

[Points +100!]

The saber light had not dissipated. Li Wen did not pause. The force from his rotation had not finished, and his entire body, like a spinning top, swept backward in a powerful kick.

Bang!

The corpse of the slain Blue-Clothed figure had not fully dissipated before it was kicked away by Li Wen’s immense force, smashing like a cannonball toward the charging deep purple figure.

At the same moment, bowstrings twanged!

Two sharp, poison-tipped arrows tore through the air, aiming directly for Li Wen's side ribs and heart!

But the arrows' trajectory, under the Primordial Spirit's perspective, was like clearly marked dotted lines.

After kicking away the corpse, Li Wen's body bizarrely sank three inches in place, as if melting slightly for an instant.

One arrow whistled past the shoulder armor he had raised, while the other embedded itself in the ground where his afterimage had been a moment before.

It was this three-inch evasion that allowed him to precisely avoid the simultaneous double arrow shot.
