He jumped into the factory, fell to the ground, and immediately began to roll around frantically. Then he heard a loud "boom" behind him! Two pieces of sheet metal had exploded!
Debris flew everywhere, piercing the wall like a sieve! Chen Xiao barely managed to turn over before feeling a sharp pain in his back. It turned out that the fragments from the exploding metal sheet had pierced through the wall of the abandoned factory with the powerful force of the blast, and several pieces were already embedded in Chen Xiao's back!
Blood was gushing from his back. He tried to turn over and stand up, but he couldn't catch his breath and staggered, almost fainting.
Behind him, Qiu Yun, his face grim, strode slowly through the huge hole in the wall. Beneath his long hair, his eyes, filled with gloom, stared at Chen Xiao: "Little rookie, you ruined my plans. Did you really think I wouldn't dare kill someone from the service company?"
The implication was laced with a hint of fierce murderous intent!
Chen Xiao knew he no longer had the strength to fight—the series of heavy punches had exhausted his power—he was already injured and had only managed to gather this little bit of strength after resting for most of the night.
He simply relaxed his body, moved back a bit, lay down on the ground and looked at Qiu Yun, but chuckled, his eyes showing no fear, but rather appearing very calm: "Qiu Yun, you are wrong about one thing, I am not someone from any service company."
Qiu Yun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Ah...right, Zhu Rong and the others have already retired. Hmph, you were just a newbie learning from them, not even a formal member of the service company. In that case, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to kill you!"
After saying that, he turned to the side, stretched out one hand, and his fingertips, like sharp steel claws, dug fiercely into the wall! This action startled Chen Xiao—this Qiu Yun was quite strong!
With a snap, Qiu Yun pulled a steel bar directly from the wall, then strode over to Chen Xiao's side, looking down at him: "I've said before, I don't generally like killing people... not for any other reason, but can you guess why?"
Chen Xiao, panting heavily, burst into laughter: "Are you really that kind-hearted? Ha! You don't seem like it!"
"Charity?" Qiu Yun's eyes were now filled with evil. He brandished the steel bar at Chen Xiao's body a couple of times, and his voice gradually became sinister: "Let me tell you—it's because I'm too cruel. Every time I kill someone, I like to torture them to the point of death in the most brutal way! So, in the Black Knights, everyone says I'm too perverted. So... I usually try my best to be patient and don't easily go on a killing spree!"
He held up the steel bar in his hand, gesturing with the sharp end towards Chen Xiao's chest, and said softly, "Little rookie, I'll use this to cut open your chest first, and then use this to pick out all your internal organs one by one! Lastly, your intestines... You've seen noodles, right? Heh heh, yes! Just like picking out noodles... I guarantee, you'll never even dream of what this will feel like!"
His voice became increasingly "feminine," but it was precisely this gentle voice, paired with his excited eyes...
Chen Xiao gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Why is it that the more upright a person seems, the more perverted they become when they go crazy..."
puff!
The steel bar had pierced deep into Chen Xiao's shoulder, penetrating his flesh and bone, and piercing through his body, pinning him to the ground!
Chen Xiao screamed, his facial muscles contorting, his body trembling uncontrollably. The excruciating pain in his shoulder caused him to bite his lip until it bled. But after the scream, he glared at Qiu Yun and roared, "Ha! Ha! Good! Good!!"
Qiu Yun licked his lips, then yanked the steel bar out with a backhand motion, his eyes growing increasingly excited: "Good? Haha! Very good! Keep yelling, the louder you yell, the more interesting it is! If you start crying and begging, then it won't be interesting at all."
Chen Xiao was in so much pain that he almost fainted several times, but strangely enough, there was a force in his body that forcibly supported his will!
Seeing Qiu Yun raise his hand again, the steel bar slammed down hard. Chen Xiao finally mustered his last bit of strength, reached out his right hand, and grabbed the steel bar! Unfortunately, his strength was too weak at this moment. Although he held the steel bar, he could no longer stop the other party... *thud*!
Blood spurted out; this time, the steel bar had only pierced halfway into his shoulder. Chen Xiao let out another low growl of pain!
"Little newbie, how does it taste?" Qiu Yun gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.
Chen Xiao was breathing heavily, his voice was trembling, but he still laughed desperately, laughed wildly!
"Qiu Yun, let's see who dies first, you or me!"
Um?
Qiu Yun's expression changed.
This stubborn brat, even when he's about to die, he's still so defiant?
"Ha! Me die first? You die first?" Qiu Yun laughed wildly, "I'm curious, how do you think I'll die!"
Chapter Sixty-Seven: [Stay Calm! Stay Calm!]
Blood was dripping from the steel bars onto Chen Xiao's face. His expression still held a hint of mockery, and although his muscles were contorted with pain, his eyes... filled Qiu Yun with an indescribable disgust.
He himself couldn't figure out where this disgust came from, so he could only grip the steel bar tightly and try to stab Chen Xiao again...
Just then, Qiu Yun's body suddenly swayed, and the steel bar he was holding fell to the ground with a clang. Qiu Yun staggered and took two steps to the side, feeling as if he hadn't been able to catch his breath, and his vision went black in waves.
Arms, fingers, legs... the muscles in my body seemed to gradually become numb and stiff. Even the movement of the joint of my little finger seemed to be slipping out of my control.
He suddenly collapsed to his knees with a thud, his arms unable to support him on the ground. His breathing became heavy, but each breath he took no longer provided any strength for his body!
My senses began to go numb, and gradually, just like when a person is drunk, all sensations became blurred.
"You, you, I, I... what did you do?!" Qiu Yun's face was filled with horror!
Chen Xiao lay helplessly on the ground, a bitter smile on his face. Though his face was covered in blood, his eyes remained bright, filled with an indomitable spirit. He gasped as he laughed, "Ha! Haha!! Just now... just now that splinter, it had my, my, my blood on it."
Qiu Yun felt the muscles in his throat were becoming somewhat out of his control. This numbness made his heart suddenly pound, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
Could it be that this newbie's blood is also poisonous? Does he possess the same superpowers as Alice?!
Qiu Yun had already collapsed to the ground, but with all her might, she frantically rummaged through her pockets. After a while, she finally pulled out a thin, metal glass bottle. Without even bothering to unscrew the cap, she slammed it on the ground, then, ignoring the tiny shards of glass, shoved it into her mouth and quickly swallowed the liquid inside!
This is an antidote—as a top figure among the Black Knights and Alice's superior, he naturally carries with him various antidotes specifically designed to counteract Alice's venom in order to control his subordinates. Although he doesn't know if Chen Xiao's blood and toxins are the same as Alice's, he has no other choice but to give it a try at this moment.
The Black Knight's secret antidote was indeed miraculous. After drinking it, Qiu Yun immediately felt the stiffness in his body improve within a few breaths. The control of his muscles and joints gradually returned to his body, and he could move his wrists and legs again. Although he was still somewhat weak, Qiu Yun was able to barely kneel up on one knee and struggle to support himself on the ground.
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!!" Qiu Yun laughed maliciously, "A newbie is a newbie! A newbie! You think you can deal with me just because you have some poison ability? Hmph, how could a C-level ability user possibly deal with an A-level ability user!"
He took a deep breath, staggered, but finally stood up: "Now what other tricks do you have up your sleeve!"
Chen Xiao remained weak on the ground, his shoulder wound a bloody mess, a large pool of bright red blood flowing beneath him. The stark contrast between his pale face and the crimson blood created a somewhat eerie sight.
Chen Xiao gasped for breath, yet still managed a weak laugh: "You...you think an antidote will suffice? Heh..."
Qiu Yun had already gripped the steel bar on the ground again: "You almost tricked me. Rookie, I'm going to shove this steel bar into your stomach. And then detonate it!"
But after taking only two steps while gripping the steel bar, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and abruptly, his knees buckled, causing him to fall to the ground once again!
This time, Qiu Yun's face was filled with horror, and his whole body began to tremble rapidly!
