Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 247: Second Kill
"I only know how to protect myself and stay innocent." Xu Shen said.
Xi Changlin sneered slightly and said, "But you over-defended yourself. Now you are alive and he is dead. Who do you think is guilty?"
"Can't the dead be guilty?"
Xu Shen asked: "Why must the sins be borne by the living?"
“Who knows?”
Xi Changlin slowly approached Xu Shen and said, "Maybe it's easier to bully a living person than a dead person. You killed my team member and indirectly killed two of my team members, a total of three people. These three lives will be counted on you."
Xu Shen asked with great interest: "Since you saw me killing your team members, why didn't you help?"
Xi Changlin's eyes were cold, and he stopped 20 meters away: "It's simple, because cowards deserve to die."
As he spoke, he tiptoed forward slightly.
whoosh!
Suddenly, a flying stone came flying towards him.
Just like before when he was sitting on a stone chair and shooting stones to teach Xu Shen a lesson.
But this time the flying rocks were larger and faster, whistling like cannonballs and accelerating.
However, the speeding stone began to slow down rapidly when it rushed into the 4-meter range of Xu Shen, and its speed dropped sharply, until Xu Shen slightly tilted his head and dodged it easily at the moment of approach.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The moment Xu Shen dodged, Xi Changlin did not make any move, but all the stones around his body flew up and rushed towards Xu Shen like raindrops.
After rushing in 4 meters, these stones began to decay rapidly. Some were avoided by Xu Shen by slightly adjusting his body, and some were caught easily.
"Your ability is somewhat special." Xi Changlin narrowed his eyes. When he wanted to teach Xu Shen a lesson before, he saw that his ability was not the conventional perception system.
Qian Qing was discovered probably for other reasons.
From the test just now, he had already figured out that Xu Shen's ability range was about 4 meters.
And his abilities seem to be similar to his.
"It seems like yours is too." Xu Shen looked at him with interest, as if he was staring at a piece of fat meat. Wang Cheng's enhancement ability is outstanding, but he is only the captain of the 6th Division. How powerful will the captain of the 2nd Division have?
Xi Changlin didn't say anything, but just walked towards Xu Shen again.
This time it was within 10 meters.
He kicked the flying rocks away from under his feet again.
Bang.
This time the flying rocks were coming at an even faster speed, exceeding the firing rate of a sniper rifle. They were constantly accelerating, and some of the rocks were shattered and falling off.
But after entering the range of 4 meters, the speed of the stone continued to decrease rapidly. When it reached in front of Xu Shen, it decayed to the speed of an ordinary bullet. Xu Shen dodged it with a slight shake of his figure.
Xi Changlin waved his hand, and all the gravel on the ground flew up and hit him like raindrops.
Xu Shen stood still, also observing the opponent's abilities. The confrontation between the two states was a showdown of abilities. If one encountered extremely strange abilities, it would be easy to fail.
The stones were avoided one after another, and just as Xu Shen was observing carefully, he suddenly felt his body sink violently, as if some kind of violent impact force was pressing down on him.
Xu Shen's pupils shrank slightly and he quickly adjusted his body, but at the moment when his body bent and shook, several cold lights emerged from the rubble, and they turned out to be tiny daggers!
Flying knife!
With a clang, a flying knife hit Xu Shen's chest, but was bounced off by the armor.
Several other flying knives flew towards Xu Shen's face and neck.
Ghost Moon Mask!
Xu Shen quickly activated the soldiers, and in an instant, the trace of the flying knife passing by rapidly could just be captured. The structure of this flying knife was extremely strange, with many holes and beautiful lines, as thin as a cicada's wing. Coupled with its extremely high speed, it was extremely difficult to detect.
Even with the attenuation reduction within a range of 4 meters, the speed of these flying knives still far exceeds that of flying stones, reaching the firing rate level of sniper bullets.
bass!
Xu Shen suddenly drew his sword and was about to cut off all the flying knives.
But suddenly, a figure flashed across his sight. It was the queen ant riding a white horse galloping towards him.
Xu Shen's heart went cold. In a flash, his sword-drawing wrist slowed down a little, and only two flying knives were deflected. He raised his other hand to block two of the flying knives. The remaining one scratched the side of the mask. The strong impact made Xu Shen feel as if his skin was cut.
He took advantage of the momentum to roll on the ground, while his peripheral vision quickly glanced in the direction behind the queen ant.
What made him secretly relieved was that there were no meat vines chasing after him, and no wandering skeletons.
Was he thrown away by the queen ant, or did he temporarily keep some distance from her?
As his thoughts raced, Xu Shen screamed and begged for mercy, "Don't, don't kill me, I won't tell on you..."
"?"
Xi Changlin raised his eyebrows. Xu Shen, who had been extremely calm just now, suddenly became as cowardly as a dog.
Is it because of the injury?
Or was it that his ability was broken, and he realized how powerful he was?
But what Xu Shen said was a little strange.
He was puzzled and pondered, and thought of a possibility: Xu Shen was deliberately disrupting his thinking in order to find flaws and opportunities.
Judging from Xu Shen’s previous action of killing Qian Qing, he is an extremely cunning hunter.
Moreover, despite his previous attempts to test him, Xu Shen did not choose to escape.
He was just an ordinary guard, but he showed no fear when facing the captain of the second squad, which showed that he was very confident.
But now he turns around and begs for mercy, as if he has changed his personality.
However, the two states seemed to be a little abnormal. Apart from himself, there were too many weird two states, and Xi Changlin had gotten used to it.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. Please atone your sins."
Xi Changlin looked down at him and said this, but Xu Shen's plea for mercy did not make him despise him in the fight, and he still kept his distance, but this time, he activated his ability even more powerfully.
With a bang, Xu Shen felt the strange impact force suddenly become stronger, pressing his body, which had just climbed up, almost to the ground.
It was like an elephant suddenly fell on top of you.
This impact force...seems to come from the air!
Could it be that his ability is to move the air?
Yes, he can control flying knives and stones, so he must be a manipulator.
But... if he were to control the air, such a strong impact, replaced by sharp air, could suffocate himself or tear his lungs apart without him even realizing it.
In other words, not air?
Xu Shen's mind was working rapidly. He tried to raise his hand and suddenly found that the impact seemed to come from above his head, but it also seemed... to come from the ground beneath his feet.
It's a huge pulling force!
Xu Shen struggled to stand up, looked up, and stared at Xi Changlin with fear on his face, but his peripheral vision was fixed on the queen ant riding a horse galloping past him.
Under the queen ant's silver helmet, a pair of clear eyes like autumn water turned slightly and glanced over when she heard Xu Shen's cry for mercy, but her body did not stop. In a blink of an eye, she passed the two of them and flew straight into the distance.
As expected, the Queen Ant doesn’t care about the life and death of small people like us…
Xu Shen lowered his head with difficulty, but he was actually looking behind him from below. There was still no trace of the meat vine, but this place would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
Xu Shen struggled to stand up and stared at Xi Changlin in front of him, but his eyes were focused on the queen ant who was riding a horse and running farther and farther away behind him.
Until the queen ant's back completely disappeared.
The look of fear on Xu Shen's face and every trembling muscle slowly relaxed.
His expression returned to calm and indifference.
"Um?"
When Xi Changlin saw the change in Xu Shen's expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered in his heart. Is he really a freak with a dual personality?
Or are you just being mysterious?
"Sorry..." Xi Changlin raised his hand, wanting to say that no matter what, it was useless to play tricks in front of him.
But at the same time.
Xu Shen's words also rang out: "Sorry..."
"I'm a bit rushed."
Xu Shen said.
"Um?"
Xi Changlin frowned.
"I have to let him in temporarily again..." Xu Shen whispered to himself.
"Okay."
He heard a gentle reply in his ears.
"Neuropathy!"
Xi Changlin shook his head slightly. Many of the two-state people he had seen were neurotic, had imaginary personalities, or thought that their relatives were not dead and were with them.
Unlike him, he had already faced the reality.
Knowing that you are dead, you are buried in the earth beneath your feet.
This is the reality...
In fact, we are all already asleep, and what is moving around outside is just our physical shells.
You guys who don't want to face reality are so pathetic...
"Now, you go to hell too..."
Xi Changlin said softly.
The violent attraction suddenly intensified, and Xu Shen suddenly felt a strong pulling force coming from under his feet, as if countless hands broke out from the ground and pulled his body into the ground.
Xu Shen's body was stretched and bent, as if he was struggling to hold on.
Xi Changlin threw out the flying knife again, and the blade came flying towards him as fast as a cicada's wing.
But suddenly, Xu Shen raised his head.
The way he bent over at this moment looked just like the preparatory posture before a sprint.
The next moment, under Xi Changlin's slightly stunned gaze, Xu Shen's body suddenly shot out.
The pulling force wrapped around his body, although it was an obstacle due to the weakening of the small with the big, it was not enough to make Xu Shen unable to move. On the contrary, with the enhanced ability amplification, the weakening effect became stronger!
At the same time, this strengthening also acts on Xu Shen's body!
Perhaps because the guest was staying temporarily, he was a little stingy and was only willing to offer a little help.
Xu Shen could only mobilize a double increase.
But a doubling of the number is also terrifying!
It strengthened the weakening and at the same time strengthened Xu Shen's body twice, and also strengthened the amplification of making the best use of the small... At this moment, the improvement brought by the strengthening effect is even stronger than the three times amplification released by Wang Cheng!
Bang!
The limitation of pulling force was instantly thrown away under the absolute force sprint.
Especially when Xu Shen raised his feet to run, one step out, 70 centimeters, two steps out, 1.5 meters, three steps out, 2.3 meters.
With every step he takes, the effect of increasing the gain with a small investment will be strengthened, and Xu Shen's speed is constantly increasing and accelerating!
Almost instantly, from the moment Xu Shen started sprinting, he arrived in front of Xi Changlin in less than half a second, and their eyes were almost touching.
Xi Changlin's pupils shrank from being slightly stunned to the size of a pinhole in an instant.
Bang!
Xu Shen held his head with both hands and rubbed it violently.
There was a sound of bones breaking, and Xi Changlin's neck twisted four or five times like a twist. His head turned in front of Xu Shen again, and his cervical vertebrae had been completely broken.
"Now, I have taken another life." Xu Shen said softly.
Blood was oozing from Xi Changlin's mouth. He was not dead yet. His lips were moving slightly and more blood was squeezing out of his throat.
He looked at Xu Shen in shock, unable to imagine that his ability was actually... ineffective?!
No, it’s not that it failed, but Xu Shen’s strength was too strong and his speed was too fast. His real body buried underground couldn’t catch Xu Shen!
That's impossible... His Highness clearly said that my gravitational ability is one of the rarest abilities in the two states.
What's more, even His Highness has misjudged me. My ability is not gravity, but my body buried underground.
With a puff.
The blade swept past and Xi Changlin's head was chopped off.
The twisted muscles on his neck are slowly recovering, but the twisted neck lines are still there.
Xu Shen let go of his hair, and his head fell in front of his feet. He crushed it with one foot, completely cutting off the possibility of his resurrection.
Then Xu Shen was going to use the Xu silk to penetrate the other person's body, preparing to rip him open.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a vibration sound from behind.
Xu Shen looked back and his pupils constricted. It was the meat vine!
Xu Shen was so shocked that he didn't bother to stop. He could only push the other person's body away and run forward.
The meat vines behind were running at a great speed. Xu Shen increased all his enhanced strength into speed, and his ability to achieve great results with small efforts was also exerted to the extreme at this moment.
His sword had been sheathed, and his hands were free, shooting out strands of silk chains that flew into the wall building in front of him, pulling his body along.
In a blink of an eye, Xu Shen escaped at the fastest speed in history.
What was strange was that Xu Shen's escape speed was faster than he had imagined, and he actually shook off the meat vine.
You know, the attack speed of the meat vine at this moment is not comparable to before, but it is the real attack posture after waking up.
Xu Shen's figure flashed, and instead of accelerating in a straight line, he went around and ran towards another path.
This thing is most likely chasing the queen ant. If it runs behind the queen ant, wouldn't it be a scapegoat?
As Xu Shen gathered his strength to dodge and ran sideways to the other side, he immediately saw a dozen thick fleshy vines sweeping in like a torrent and chasing after him in a straight line.
Many things along the way were destroyed and overturned.
In reality, Xu Shen saw some buildings being pierced through and collapsed by these fleshy vines.
This is simply an indiscriminate bulldozer, clearing a path between the virtual world and reality.
Xu Shen retreated further away to avoid attracting his attention.
He did not stare, but just watched blankly, avoiding exposing his sight to the deep ruins.
Soon, the thing passed by and the earth returned to peace.
Xu Shen glanced at the town and saw that a passage had been cleared.
He thought about it and returned along the original path.
When they returned to the place where Xi Changlin was killed, they found that there was no corpse and even the ground had been scraped off.
Xu Shen felt helpless that his prey was snatched away by Xu. He was always the one who snatched Xu's prey, so he would make an exception today .
Boom~!
There was a sound of ground shaking.
Xu Shen looked up and his expression changed again.
The huge zombie with a skeleton actually crawled towards them.
Damn it.
Xu Shen didn't stay any longer, turned around and ran away without looking back.
