Chapter 23: Chapter 19: Scorching Blood Boiling (Part 2)

In the game “Dawn,” Nuobai will appear as a side BOSS in the related tasks.

If Nuobai is severely wounded by players, “Scorching Blood” will activate, entering the second phase, which players commonly refer to as “Red Eye.”

Back then, the CG where blood patterns surged across his body, and his eyes suddenly turned from black to crimson, amazed many players.

In the game, the second phase “Red-Eyed Nuobai” can only be described with two words — rabid dog.

Unpredictable charge attacks, indomitable resilience, extremely brutal attack desire, and absurd damage that guarantees death if hit.

Every day, players are cut into unconsciousness by his Tang Blade, cursing in the beta test chat while asking how to defeat this insane BOSS.

So much so that a saying circulated among players about Nuobai, “Eyes turn red, and the save is wasted.”

Nuobai now activates “Scorching Blood,” truly unleashing his reserved strength, determined to destroy Alote and the others at any cost.

Nuobai grips the Tang Blade, his body’s center of gravity precisely aligned along the axis, without any deviation, exuding an astounding beauty. His crimson eyes coldly gaze at the Razors, as murderous intent ripples out.

The overwhelming pressure makes Alote feel uneasy. He decisively raises his fist, “Fire!!!”

Just as the Razor Warriors pull their fingers, the trigger springs haven’t reached the critical point, bloodshed has already risen.

“Swish—” Nuobai’s body instantly disappears, leaving a continuous shadow in the corridor.

The Tang Blade emits a screech as it fiercely rubs against the air, like a snake flicking its tongue, piercing through a Razor Warrior’s heart in an instant.

“Psshh!”

The Razor Warrior flies over ten meters from the impact, collapsing like a heap of mud, a bizarre scarlet blossom blooming on his chest. Blood from the ruptured artery sprays onto the ceiling.

Contrasting with Nuobai’s Tang Blade, due to the speed of the stab, it doesn’t carry a trace of blood when piercing the heart, the polished blade reflecting the widespread crimson, showcasing a beauty difficult to precisely describe in words.

Nuobai reverses his hand to sheath the blade, the Tang Blade tracing a perfect arc in the air, precisely finding the position of the sheath.

“Ka.” The Tang Blade enters the sheath.

However, it is not the end of the move but a prelude to new slaughter.

Nuobai leans forward, assuming a stance to draw the blade, then with a “boom,” the air around explodes radially from being extremely compressed, breaking the sound barrier with his body alone.

As Nuobai passes, the fierce winds surge, the shockwave from the sonic boom ripples outward, his rapidly moving body stretches into a long black shadow, aligning with another Razor Warrior, the Tang Blade instantly slicing through his body without hindrance.

“Psshh!!”

Under the supersonic slash of the blade, the Razor Warrior’s body bursts apart along the cut, the scattered blood raining down like a storm.

Nuobai stands firm in the blood rain, his exquisite face already rendered indistinct by the bloodstains, only those crimson eyes emitting an even fiercer gleam.

“Ka.” The Tang Blade enters the sheath again.

Nuobai leans forward again, assuming a stance to draw the blade.

In an instant, two companions lie dead, even a fool knows what this move signifies.

Seeing Nuobai’s crimson eyes fixed on him, the third Razor Warrior’s face turns deathly pale, “She’s coming!!!”

“Boom!!” The sound of a sonic boom echoes as the body breaks through the sound barrier once again.

Nuobai’s figure tears through the battlefield, leaving behind fleeting afterimages, as if everything around loses its color from distortion.

The Tang Blade screeches as it rips through the air, the dazzling cold light instantly overtaking the Razor Soldier’s entire vision.

“Psshh!!!”

When the Tang Blade penetrates the Razor Warrior’s body, spider-web-like cracks spread from the blade hole, continuously fracturing in all directions, causing the entire corpse to shatter under tremendous force, bursting into pieces.

“Psshh!!!”

The residual force of the Tang Blade doesn’t stop, slicing along inertia with a sharp arc, simultaneously claiming another nearby Razor Warrior, the blood blooming like vibrant flowers.

“Ka.” The Tang Blade enters the sheath.

Leaning forward, preparing to draw the blade.

“Boom!!!” The instant Nuobai steps, the floor beneath her feet completely shatters, the entire platform trembles under the impact.

“Psshh psshh psshh!” Her afterimages, accompanied by the arc of the Tang Blade, trace three destructive zigzags, the nearly tangible blade light enveloping three Razor Warriors, utterly destroying them.

This is destruction in the true sense, their bodies unable to withstand the tremendous force of the supersonic slashes, blasted into dozens of gruesome fragments, scattered everywhere, blood forming a crimson carpet on the ground.

With four slashes, all seven Razor Warriors brought by Alote perish!

“Ka.” The sound of the blade entering the sheath resounds coldly, like the death knell struck by the Death God.

Staring at the pair of cold crimson eyes behind the mist of blood, and the Tang Blade ready to unleash from its sheath, Alote’s face turned ashen and his scalp tingled.

The deadly sense of crisis surged through his body like a tide. The desire for survival had never been so intense, with every cell sending frantic warnings, leaving only one word in his consciousness—

Escape.

Fail to escape, and die.

“Boom!!!” The sound of a sonic boom accompanied by suffocating wind pressure rushed towards him.

Where Nuobai’s afterimage passed, the ground shattered apart, and the liquefied air collapsed under the heavy pressure, the piercing sound mercilessly tormented Alote’s eardrums.

Yet, before Nuobai drew her blade, Alote’s combat instinct made him react first.

“Boom.” He fiercely crushed the smoke bomb at his waist, releasing a large amount of white smoke on the spot.

The Life Sequence Exploration Center was underground, where air circulation was not very smooth, and the smoke quickly filled every corner, reducing visibility to the extreme.

Nuobai’s sight was disrupted and unable to halt her attack, she could only slash with full force at Alote’s previous position.

The Tang Blade slashed like a gale, with the cold gleam pouring freely, and a sonic boom suddenly erupted.

“Clang—” Nuobai felt resistance through the Tang Blade, obviously hitting something.

But that resistance only lasted for a moment and ultimately couldn’t withstand the power of the supersonic strike.

“Thud.” The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard.

Nuobai dispersed the smoke in front of her and looked, finding a huge bone claw fallen on the ground.

The blade had struck, but only cut off Alote’s arm.

He wasn’t dead, and had somehow hidden away in the smoke.

Nuobai still wanted to pursue, but suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and Su Mo’s voice came: “Nuobai!”

Su Mo stopped Nuobai, preventing her pursuit: “Don’t chase! Your body can’t take it!”

Su Mo remembered very clearly, in the “Dawn” game, during Nuobai’s boss battle, she would use supersonic strikes like just now during her second phase when she activated her crimson eyes.

But only five strikes.

If you couldn’t dodge the five strikes, you’d be seeing the save point.

If you dodged the five strikes, Nuobai would enter a weakened and vulnerable state, which was the best chance for players to attack with full force.

Just now, Nuobai slashed seven Razor Soldiers with four strikes, and severed Alote’s arm with another, she should be at her limit.

As expected, shortly after Su Mo’s words, Nuobai fell exhausted, the crimson marks on her body faded completely, and her eyes returned to black, collapsing like a puppet with cut strings into his arms.

Nuobai truly couldn’t hold on any longer, her depletion was far too great.

Fighting and chasing battles for four to five days continuously, losing a large amount of blood to Su Mo, and still forcibly activating scorched blood with a pierced lung, this was truly risking life.

The supersonic strikes like just now imposed immense strain on the body, placing the entire skeleton and organs under extreme pressure.

Now, Nuobai didn’t know how many bones were broken within, how many organs were severely bleeding.

If not for the regenerative power of the Crimson Rose Blood Code sustaining her, she would likely have died long ago.

After the scorched blood ended, Nuobai’s body temperature remained extremely high, scorching Su Mo’s skin red, but he still gritted his teeth, carrying her behind the cover.

Su Mo peeked at the fallen bone claw on the ground and quickly made a rational judgment.

Although Alote lost an arm too, this wasn’t a fatal injury, his stamina and vitality were still intact.

In this situation, if they continued to fight recklessly, Nuobai would certainly die.

It was already the limit.

Can’t go hard anymore.

Can only outsmart.

Su Mo placed his hand on Nuobai’s face, speaking in a voice only they could hear: “Nuobai, listen carefully, you can’t beat that person right now.”

“There is only one way for us to defeat him…”
