To those on the periphery, the scene was undeniably bloodthirsty. No one knew when Chen Yun’s claws beca so terrifying, with their elongated bone structure and pitch-black talons. A single swipe left Bai Su’s exceptionally delicate face gruesoly torn, half of her cheek shredded beyond recognition.
An eyeball dangled precariously, half out of its socket, presenting a sight of extre horror!
Such bloody spectacles had been witnessed in previous matches, but the impact of such violence was far greater when the victim was a woman of such refined and pleasant appearance.
Yet, the woman in the arena remained eerily calm, not even wrinkling her brow as half of her face was gouged out, rely covering her other eye as she quickly retreated.
"Your sense of direction is off..."
Bai Su calmly analyzed the situation just monts before.
The attacking man was incredibly fast, his speed matching, if not exceeding, her own. It was the first ti she had encountered a human, especially a young one, with such velocity. However, there was a foul stench about him, not the sweet scent of a young human, but that of decay, as if he had lived far too long.
Sothing... was on that man.
Whatever it was, she had no current interest in finding out. What concerned her more were the surrounding distorted light patterns, which were interfering with her judgnt.
The directions of up, down, left, and right were truly inverted, not an illusion but a stark reality. Therefore, when the opponent struck, what seed inverted was rely a sensory inversion. Moreover, this visual distortion was incredibly convincing, convincing enough that encountering soone with the sa speed could lead to a reflexive error.
In a clash between top predators, most reactions are muscular reflexes, because relying on brains to think simply isn’t fast enough. But precisely because of this, such visual and sensory deceptions were exceedingly troubleso, nearly costing her life.
It seems I’ve t a tough opponent this ti...
While she was still pondering, the second attack ca at her just as ferociously as before. Barely dodging, she still lost four fingers protecting her other half of the face, and the poison in the attacker’s claws caused her wound to quickly blacken and emit a putrid sll of decay.
Outside, Su Changqing, who was maintaining the Array, watched in alarm. No wonder Nie Youyun lost. What’s going on with Chen Yun? How could he be stronger than those Yaksha squad leaders from the Southern Sea?
With such brute strength and ferocious montum, could that truly be Chen Yun?
What kind of secret weapon could cause such a drastic change in a person? It simply defied all logic...
However, he should be grateful. The Combination of his Array with such close-quarters combat was ideal, far more threatening than using high-damage techniques from afar.
If nothing unexpected happened, this battle should be his. But afterwards, the ownership of the Azure Dragon Runes would certainly be up for debate.
Even though they were allies, if the opponent insisted on monopolizing them, could he defeat this fellow?
Engrossed in thoughts of how to divide the spoils of war, he was completely unprepared for the sudden turn of events.
In the midst of the Formation, Bai Su took an action that shocked everyone. With her other hand, she unhesitatingly gouged out her remaining eye!
Witnessing such a composed act of self-mutilation, the spectators were stunned, and even Su Changqing, who was just contemplating the distribution of gains, gasped in shock.
A wave of extre unease washed over him.
He had seen ruthless individuals before but never soone who could be so rciless.
Because he was controlling the light and shadow perspectives, he saw everything clearly. The woman’s expression as she removed her eyeball was eerily composed, as if she were discarding sothing utterly unrelated to herself, chillingly indifferent.
Having grown up in the Northern Territory and fond of interacting with Warriors, he was no stranger to brutal sights. When Warriors sotis had to amputate their own body parts due to poisoning, even the stoutest among them struggled with resolve, no matter how tough they tried to appear.
But this woman was different; she felt like a humanoid weapon.
For so reason, despite having the upper hand, he was suddenly gripped by a chilling sense of crisis.
Chen Yun, who had already lunged forward, felt the sa instinctual chill, which caused a slight stiffness in his actions. Yet, without hesitation, he thought to himself, "Bluffing," and reached out for her carotid artery without further ado.
The opponent was not human, yet any demon transford into human form had the sa weaknesses, enjoying the advantages of a human physique ant also bearing the shortcomings of humanity. Severing this artery, in a situation of heavy blood loss, even if I retreated outside the Array and sat waiting for her to bleed out, it would be feasible, as long as I succeeded this ti.
In fact, I had been careless. When I first attacked, I should have done just that, as it was the mont she was least likely to react.
However, the mindset of toying with my prey prevented from doing so, unnecessarily adding a bit of risk.
But it was still not too late. The poison in my hand could dissolve flesh, and once the body was cut open, the blood could not be stopped... She could not possibly scrape off the flesh of her neck as she had her face, the human body could not sustain life like that.
"Creatures of this world are indeed more negligent..." Bai Su suddenly spoke up, "In our place, even when facing the weakest prey, we never toy with our quarries. But after coming here, I’ve noticed it more than once. Is it a prevailing bad trait of this world?"
Bai Su finished saying this, and Chen Yun listened to the entire statent. The reason he was able to hear her out was that his attacking hands had been forcefully grabbed!
Her delicate hands had an especially terrifying strength; after forcefully grabbing his sharp claws, he couldn’t move at all!
She, without eyesight, reacted?
An unprecedented chill surged in his heart, and a hint of fear flickered in Chen Ye’s eyes, which instantly turned into a surge of anger as he bit towards her neck!
Bai Su seed to sense his movent, and like soone with eyes at the back of her head, her head imdiately dodged backward.
Chen Yun wouldn’t let her get away, relentlessly pursuing her, his entire body leaning forward like a ravenous beast.
Bai Su couldn’t retreat, and instead shifted her head to the left to dodge. Chen Ye saw this and let out a cold, cruel laugh.
She dared not let go of him because once he escaped, she had no confidence of capturing him again. It was a rare opportunity that she wouldn’t miss. And because of this, she was going to make a fatal mistake—his body wasn’t completely human!
In the next instant, Chen Ye’s neck bizarrely stretched to twice its length!
Like so sort of terrifying alien creature, it was extrely eerie, but in the blink of an eye, this sudden transformation beca the decisive factor in the battle.
With a cruel smile, Chen Ye fiercely bit towards her neck!
"No..."
Su Changqing, witnessing this scene from afar, shouted out to stop it. Alas, the combatants moved so swiftly, his voice simply couldn’t keep up....
Crack!
The crisp sound of cartilage breaking confird Su Changqing’s unease!
"You bit the wrong place!"
A faint taunt rang in Chen Ye’s ear, followed imdiately by the tearing pain at the artery in his neck!
Only then did he realize...
That’s right, in the rush, he had forgotten—in the Array... the directions one sees are reversed!
He had been outmaneuvered!!
He wanted to pull back, but his body felt weak.
"Poison... isn’t only yours to wield..." the voice taunted coldly once more.
Bai Su suddenly understood why the creatures of this world enjoyed toying with their prey; it turns out... such a feeling was quite delightful.
Watching as the once ferociously vicious individual’s eyes filled with increasing fear, a cruel smile appeared on her blurred, bloodied face!
