Chapter 273: Life and Death (3)

Looking at the Level 6 exotic beast that was less than two meters tall on the ruins, Chen Yu’s heart sank to the bottom.

Facing a Level 5 exotic beast, the three of them had gone all out.

As the main force, he had suffered quite a heavy injury.

But now, a Level 6 exotic beast had come.

It had completely exceeded the scope of what they could deal with.

‘The difference in levels is too big.’

‘Even if I use Enlightenment, I’ll still lose…’

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu suddenly felt a little resentful.

If there was one bullet in that national treasure, the revolver, and Ma Li’s Cuckold, the situation would definitely be much better.

But that ‘low IQ’ him, in order to show off, had used up all the remaining two bullets. He only wanted to ‘have fun’ and didn’t consider any escape routes.

This was an important reason why he wasn’t willing to use ‘Enlightenment’.

“Brother Yu, it’s a Level 6 exotic beast.” Bahuang Yao’s voice trembled.

Ma Li slowed down and retreated a few meters. “Level 6… We can’t even deal with a Level 5 exotic beast. What should we do now?”

“Is there a team nearby that can call for help?” Chen Yu asked while clutching his abdomen.

“No.” Ma Li shook her head and retreated a few meters. “The vast majority of high-level martial artists are currently in the inner city. The patrol teams are also in the inner city. We can only find a few soldiers at most.”

“Soldiers are useless. Unless a single nuclear bomb can accurately hit the enemy.”

“Looking at that exotic beast’s figure, it’s not much taller than you. It’s definitely a gorilla that specializes in speed. It’s impossible to hit it. Moreover… There’s not enough time.” As she spoke, Ma Li retreated a few meters.

“Then… Then what should we do?” Bahuang Yao panicked.

“…” Chen Yu fell silent.

Unlike his ‘low IQ’ state, under normal circumstances, he only believed in defeating ten people with one strength.

In the face of a powerful force, no amount of intelligence or calculation was enough to make up for the difference in strength.

“…”

“Unsolvable.”

“A dead end.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu dryly spat out these few words.

“Let’s escape.” While retreating, Ma Li suggested, “Look at that ape. It doesn’t move at all. It doesn’t seem to have any intention of killing its way over.”

“Because its target is me, not you.”

“Then why didn’t it attack you directly? What’s it waiting for?”

“It’s waiting for help.” Chen Yu frowned. “Right now, the inner city might have already been surrounded by half of the Beast Tide. The high-level martial artists can’t even take care of themselves. The longer we drag this on, the more apes will rush over.”

After saying that, he tentatively moved his feet backward.

“Roar!”

The Level 6 exotic beast immediately jumped down from the ruins. Its pair of blood-red eyes stared at Chen Yu.

“Look, it’s aiming at me. As long as I move randomly, it will definitely catch up.”

Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at his abdomen and sighed. “Xiao Yao, Ma Li, you guys run. Otherwise, in a while…”

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, Ma Li, who was behind him, immediately exploded with energy and used all her strength to run far away…

Chen Yu: “…”

“Brother Yu, I’m obedient. I’ll run now.” Ma Li turned around and shouted, “I’ll miss you!”

Chen Yu: “…Stop right there!”

“Ah…”Ma Li subconsciously stopped and hesitated. “Brother Yu, do you have any last words? Do you want me to bring them to your family?”

“No.”

“Then are you going back on your word? Do you want me to die with you?”

“No.”

“Then… Then why did you stop me?” Ma Li probed. “Do you want to have sex before you die?”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“…I really want to see you have sex with an exotic beast.”

“This… The exotic beast can’t agree to it, right?”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“Cut the crap. You can leave, but you have to leave me a Cuckold.”

“A hat, no problem.” Ma Li heaved a sigh of relief and nodded happily. She took out a hat from her bosom and threw it at Chen Yu. “Good luck!”

Pa.

Chen Yu reached out to catch it. “Go.”

“In the future, I’ll burn paper, and I’ll burn real money for you! Pile by pile!”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

With a wave of her hand, Ma Li spread her legs, and the smoke and dust disappeared along the way.

Clapping the green hat in his hand, Chen Yu looked at Bahuang Yao. “Xiao Yao.”

“What do you want to say?” Bahuang Yao was expressionless.

“You should leave too.”

“No.” The young girl refused without hesitation.

“You should leave.”

“No.”

“You’ve seen the situation now. The exotic beast’s target is me.” Chen Yu’s gaze was complicated. “You can definitely escape.”

“No.” Bahuang Yao turned her head, and her pair of large eyes stared unblinkingly at Chen Yu. “No.”

“This isn’t the time to be emotional. Even if you stay, you won’t be able to save me. I’ll be risking my life for nothing. Why don’t you run away and help me take revenge in the future?”

“No.” The girl seemed to have turned into a repeater, only repeating one word.

“…Are you an idiot?”

Chen Yu was a little angry. “The brain-dead characters in movies and TV series are all given to you for nothing. Just do whatever I tell you to do. What are you waiting for?!”

“Then I’m not leaving either.” Bahuang Yao bit her lips. “I don’t want to help you take revenge. If I die, we’ll die together.”

“I’ll be angry.”

“I won’t leave.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu glanced at the exotic beast in the distance and said in a gentle tone, “Be good. You run first. I might be able to find another way to escape myself.”

“Don’t think of sending me away.”

Bahuang Yao clenched her fists, and her eyes suddenly turned red. “You’re all like this, one by one…”

Hearing this, Chen Yu was stunned.

“Mom is like this, Duan Ye is like this, my brother is like this, all of you are like this…” She held back her tears from falling from her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs. “You want to send me away now, and then leave me alone, right?”

Chen Yu: “…”

“I… Have nothing left except for you.”

Chen Yu: “…”

On the quiet street, he was silent for a long time before he asked in a hoarse voice, “You know?”

“I know.”

“How did you know?”

Two tears fell from her eyes. The young girl could no longer control her sobs. “I didn’t go back to the dormitory to pack up. I… I went straight to my brother’s villa.”

“…”

“My brother is dead.”

“…”

“Dead.”

“…”

Bahuang Yao’s breathing became faster and faster. “Duan Ye killed him…”

Chen Yu’s heart suddenly ached. “I’m sorry.”

“Why did it turn out like this?” The young girl slowly knelt down and sobbed in pain. “Yesterday, we were still eating together… and we were still so happy… Why…”

Chen Yu: “…”

“All of a sudden, everything became like this…”

Chen Yu: “…”

“I… I… I didn’t do anything wrong!” The girl wailed.

“I’m sorry.”

“Why are all my most precious things being taken away? I tried so hard to protect them… family, friendship, I… I have nothing left.”

Bahuang Yao collapsed to the ground and hugged Chen Yu’s legs tightly. “I… have nothing left…”

“Nothing left…”

“Nothing left…”

“Don’t drive me away…”

“I beg you…”

“I beg you…”

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu looked up at the blue sky.

The sun gave the sky endless light.

But at this moment, he could only see darkness.

When did it start to turn black?

Perhaps no one would remember…

…

Boom!

A nuclear bomb fell from the sky and exploded.

However, the terrifying damage of the bomb did not cause any damage to the Beast Tide below.

Because a gorilla that was hundreds of meters tall had already opened a spatial barrier to protect the creatures within a radius of dozens of miles around it.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The giant gorilla’s eyes were blood-red as it ferociously hammered the ground, signaling the general attack.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The endless sea of beasts instantly boiled and crazily surged toward the city walls of the capital.

On the city walls, the warriors on standby were pale-faced.

Compared to the battle line on the west side of the city, most of the warriors had lost the passion to resist as they watched the sea of beasts extend from the bottom of the city to the end.

Because the scene in front of them had clearly told everyone that the Beast Tide was undefeatable…

“Everyone, I’ll take my leave first.”

In the middle of the city wall, Qinghai Li and his old friends waved their hands. Then, they floated in the air and rose higher and higher. Gradually, they were at the same level as the giant gorilla.

“Roar–” The giant gorilla grinned and revealed a human-like smile.

“…”

Qinghai Li’s eyebrows relaxed and his hands pressed together.

“Martial Arts — Secret Technique — The Ring of Senluo Wu’s Performance.”

Buzz —

The vast energy spread silently.

The mysterious energy circuits actually had some kind of miraculous reaction with the entire city.

Rumble…

The next moment.

The sky was dark.

The earth shook.

Under the disbelief of all the warriors, the world in front of them actually began to fall…

Or rather, the entire city began to hover in the air…

“This… This…” A high-level warrior’s eyes were in a daze. “How is this possible…”

“The city has flown?”

“Could it be that a Level 9 has already become a god?”

“It can fly even in such a big city?”

“Divine ability… A true divine ability…”

From afar, seeing the city slowly rising into the sky, the giant gorilla pounded its chest and howled. It moved its legs and charged over.

Dong!

Dong! Dong!!

With each step, it would definitely smash dozens of its own kind into pieces.

However, the gorilla did not care. It trudged over the corpses and chased to the front of the city wall. It extended its thick arms and grabbed the city wall tightly. It roared as it pulled down.

Boom…

The capital city suddenly tilted.

In the city, many high-rise buildings collapsed one after another, causing tens of thousands of casualties.

The martial artists on the city wall also hugged the battlements tightly to prevent being thrown down..

Qinghai Li’s eyes were calm. He spread his palms and attacked again.

Pa!

“Martial Arts — Circular Movement.”

Clang!

Along with a crisp sound like a sharp sword being unsheathed.

A ring of light suddenly spread out from the four glowing walls of the capital!

Shua…

Shua shua shua…

The halo contained a terrifying force fluctuation.

Wherever it passed by, all mutated beasts below Level 7 were disintegrated into the most basic particles!

Roar!

Even the Level 9 gorilla was knocked back a few steps by the impact and fell to the ground.

Boom!

Smoke, dust, ashes.

The capital regained its balance and continued to rise.

When the gorilla struggled to get up, it found that there were only dozens of Level 8 beasts around it.

Nearly a million other beasts, all reduced to ashes…

It was a Level 9, and it was terrifying!

…

“It’s getting dark.”

Looking at the rolling dark clouds, covering the blue sky.

Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the rumbling sounds coming from the west. He sighed. “There’s already a fight in the capital. It’s impossible for us to have helpers. Xiao Yao, are you sure you don’t want to run?”

“It’s impossible for me to run.” Bahuang Yao wiped away her tears and stood up with a katana in her hand. Her gaze was unusually sharp. “Even if you die.”

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

Their eyes communicated an indescribable emotion…

After a long while.

Chen Yu spread his hands. “Have you decided?”

“I’ve decided.”

“Then… If we’re only left with death, why don’t we seek survival in the midst of death?”

“What do you mean?” The young girl was stunned.

Swish!

Raising his longsword, Chen Yu pushed his strength to the limit. “Xiao Yao, I remember that the original surname of the Bahuang clan was Li. Later on, because it could activate the eight acupoints around the sea of Qi, it was renamed Bahuang.”

“Yes.”

“At that time in the College Entrance Examination ring, you opened the seventh acupoint, right?”

“Yes.”

“According to what your father said, if you can open the seventh acupoint, you can naturally open the last one.” Chen Yu said, “Can you open it?”

Bahuang Yao nodded heavily. “Yes.”

“After using it, will you die?”

“Yes.” The young girl nodded again and quietly looked into Chen Yu’s eyes. “And there is no chance of survival.”

“Xiao Yao, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure you don’t want to run?”

Hearing this, Bahuang Yao slowly raised her right hand. “The world gave me life, but it took everything away. Then, I’ll use my life to exchange everything back.”

“…”

“I can endure the darkness…”

After saying this, Chen Yu’s thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the day of the College Entrance Examination. “…If I haven’t seen the light.”

The young girl smiled. “Since I’ve seen it, I’d rather die before dusk.”

After saying this, she opened the five fingers of her right hand.

Boom…

A red force rose and enveloped the young girl’s petite body.

In the next second, dozens of sharp ice blades rapidly condensed in the air around the two of them!

Chen Yu stood on the spot and looked around. “…Nothing has changed. Whether it’s martial arts or you.”

“No.” A strange light flashed in Bahuang Yao’s eyes. “I’ve changed.”

“In the past, I hated myself for having the bloodline of the Bahuang clan flowing in my veins.”

“But now…”

“I’m proud of the Bahuang bloodline.”

Pa!

Her right hand clenched into a fist!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh —

Sharp ice blades instantly attacked the two of them.

They covered every corner in all directions.

Just like in the College Entrance Exam arena, Chen Yu rolled away.

Puff puff puff puff…

Meanwhile, Bahuang Yao, who was left on the spot, was pierced through by countless ice blades.

Fresh blood mixed with melted ice water and soaked the asphalt pavement.

The life force of the trembling thin figure gradually disappeared.

Boom!

Level 3, force exploded out of thin air!

The ground beneath her feet cracked open inch by inch.

Seventh acupoint, open!

Chen Yu: “It’s not enough…”

Bahuang Yao suddenly raised her head. “It’s not enough!”

As she said this, her five fingers closed together, and her left arm quickly dodged! The sharp fingertips cleanly pierced through her sternum and grabbed onto her lungs.

“Brother Yu.” The young girl turned around and smiled sweetly. “See you in the next life.”

Puchi!

Her sternum was broken and her lungs were shattered.

Boom! Boom…

The extreme pain caused the red flames to double in size!

Bahuang Yao’s face was quickly covered in red lines.

Her long red hair also grew to her feet…

Boom!

Level 3.3.

Boom!!

Level 3.8.

Boom!!!

Level 4!

The red flames were like a pillar of fire that pierced through the gloomy clouds above.

The girl closed her eyes and slowly rose into the sky.

When she was dozens of meters away, Bahuang Yao opened her eyes.

Boom!

The burning pillar of fire expanded ferociously!

The eighth acupoint was opened!

At this moment, whether it was the people in the south of the city or the martial artists in the capital in the distance. Including Qinghai Li and the Level 9 exotic beast, all of them were looking here…

Because at this moment…

A young girl turned into light…
