Chapter 343
Her ability control was indeed powerful.
Ni Shuang turned to look at Su Ming, her brows furrowed, her voice anxious.
"Use your speed to find his real body, I'll hold him here..."
But the next moment, her eyes were stunned, to the point that she didn't even finish her sentence.
She noticed a detail!
Wait... a water-ability corpse?
That man knows my ability, why would he choose to send a corpse of an esper that I counter?
Her pupils trembled, and she stared fiercely at that water-corpse soldier, staring fixedly at its pockmarked face.
The next moment, all her ability power instantly dissipated.
Because she discovered... this corpse was refined from her mother!
There are many element-manipulation espers, but very few who can extract and refine more elements from a small portion of elements!
Her mother could condense dozens of liters of water flow from ten drops of water to attack enemies.
And judging from the figure, this person was her own mother.
What kind of torture had she suffered... her face was pockmarked, her whole body covered in curse patterns carved by a branding iron; even after death, she could not rest in peace, and her corpse had to protect his safety under his control.
Ni Shuang's eyes were dull, and she slowly retreated three steps, her body swaying.
Even a girl as strong as her, seeing this scene, would completely collapse.
Tears flashed in her eyes, and anger and sadness completely swallowed all her thinking...
The next moment.
Pfft!
Blood splashed.
Five water flows turned into spears, directly piercing her shoulder, lungs, and legs.
The speed was so fast that it could be called lightning-fast; she didn't even have time to block or freeze them.
At the same time, two inconspicuous water masses shot over from the surroundings, directly covering her ears.
Sealing her hearing instantly.
In this state, she couldn't activate her ability; this was her greatest weakness.
The corpse her mother had turned into was now attacking her mercilessly; this was undoubtedly the most desperate scene.
At the same time, two more corpse soldiers broke out from the surrounding windows and landed, surrounding Su Ming and her.
Su Ming’s expression was serious, standing in place without moving.
He didn't even turn his head, only observing the situation around him through Xiao Ming's vision in the air.
The corpse soldiers surrounding him were probably more than the three present; there were more lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Ni Shuang turned her head in despair, looking at Su Ming, and said five words.
It seemed to be: "I'm sorry... run quickly."
Originally, she thought she would act as the main combat force to hold them off, while Su Ming found the real body.
But now, she had lost her combat ability and failed Su Ming.
She thought that Su Ming, this speed-type esper, was completely incapable of fighting.
The best choice was to abandon her and escape from here.
Su Ming saw this scene and just shook his head slowly.
He didn't draw his sword, nor did he run away, just standing in place.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!
The water-corpse soldier's throat let out a hoarse moan, once again activating its water ability.
Six or seven water spears pierced through, directly stabbing Su Ming until he was full of holes.
He suddenly knelt on one knee, his whole body covered in blood.
Ni Shuang saw this scene, feeling it was inconceivable.
She couldn't understand why Su Ming didn't run, but instead stayed here to die!
"If you stay, you will suffer boundless cruel torture, and your corpse will become his accomplice!"
"If an extreme-speed user like you is refined by him, I don't know how many people will suffer!"
"Leave me, run quickly, it's my mistake!" She was heartbroken and shouted sharply.
Su Ming was seriously injured and slowly stood up.
As if finally persuaded by her, or perhaps terrified of the fate he was about to face.
So he pretended to be panicked and ran for his life.
The speed was neither fast nor slow, maintained at a very subtle degree, barely able to be classified as a speed-type esper, yet able to be hit by the opponent.
Pfft!
The next moment, a corpse soldier behind him suddenly attacked, a powerful mental force flowing, the gravel on the surrounding ground condensed and rose, turning into a giant rock that smashed over, directly pinning Su Ming to the wall.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, pinned firmly to the wall by the giant rock, seemingly unable to move again.
Su Ming’s deep eyes were secretly watching the surrounding corpse soldiers closing in.
He had no intention of drawing his sword at all.
This wasn't because he really wanted to live and die with Ni Shuang.
Actually... Su Ming was playing a big game.
You must know, his ultimate goal was to kill Fei Mu, the bounty target himself, not to kill his corpse soldiers.
Now Fei Mu himself was hiding in the dark, and his specific location was not yet clear.
If he revealed his strength now and attacked with thunderous force, killing all the corpses, Fei Mu himself would definitely flee in a panic.
Such a vicious person, having fled for several years under the pursuit of the Heavenly Tower Realm, could be imagined how cowardly he was.
Once he was allowed to escape, he probably wouldn't be found.
Su Ming was just showing weakness, pretending to be defeated, to make him appear voluntarily!
Only in this way could he save the trouble of finding him.
However, the opponent was a Tier 5 expert after all, and his strength could not be underestimated; once his bloodline was forced below 30%, the risk would be too great, and Su Ming would have to attack.
And now, Su Ming's health was still at 37%, which was a relatively healthy value, so he could continue to show weakness!
Perhaps Su Ming's acting was too exquisite, as all the corpses in the field burst into a cold laugh at this moment.
"Heh, overestimating your capabilities."
The corpses said in unison, hoarsely.
Clearly, it was the Curse-Corpse Warlock Fei Mu speaking through the corpses.
"Ni Shuang, you really delivered yourself to my door!"
"When I saw your ability a few years ago, I coveted your power; you really came."
"Back then your mother sacrificed herself to save you, but now you take the initiative to deliver yourself; it's truly stupid beyond cure."
"And you brought a speed-type esper that I happened to be missing; heh, thank you very much..." His laughter was sinister, making one's hair stand on end.
One, five, ten.
More and more corpses gathered around, their upper and lower jaws opening and closing constantly, like human meat megaphones.
"I don't know how many job-changers... have wanted to come and kill me, but they all ended up as corpses."
"They couldn't even see my face before being besieged and killed by corpses."
"And you two, mere espers from a lower-plane dungeon world, also dream of killing me; it's truly ridiculous..."
Even though the voice was hoarse, read by zombies without emotion, one could still hear the sinister and ruthless nature of the person himself.
"But you girl, to be able to find this place, you have some skill."
"As a reward, I won't let you die so easily."
"Being personally refined into a corpse soldier by me will be your only destination..."
Hearing this, only two words flashed in Su Ming's heart.
It's settled!
A cautious Tier 5 great expert was also fooled by Su Ming.
It could be seen just how exquisite his acting was.
If acting could also be counted as a skill, then Su Ming was definitely at the level of returning to basics.
