Chapter 26: Kill You Again!

Not good!

Young hero, dodge quickly!

The two bodyguards watched Chen Shicheng about to be buried beneath the fireball, growing increasingly anxious; they wanted to rush forward to rescue him but the scorching heat wave made every step impossible, so they could only stand uselessly in place, watching helplessly as he fell into danger.

Even their armor was turning slightly red, and the smell of roasting meat from within went unnoticed.

Compared with the myriad functions of cultivators' diverse skills, the skills learned by these soldiers were at the opposite extreme.

Plain and unadorned aside, some skills require weapons and only unleash their greatest power in group combat.

But now they were merely performing a simple escort duty, with no shields on them, unable to use protective skills, so they could only watch helplessly as Chen Shicheng, less than five meters away, was engulfed by the fireball.

Recalling the general's order, the two felt as if they had lost a parent, thinking their future promotions were now hopeless.

However, the two were merely overthinking; on the other side, Chen Shicheng and Yu Wei showed no change in expression, after all this had happened once before.

As the formation on Chen Shicheng's clothing activated, the fireball split like a tide and slid to both sides; aside from the ground being charred black, it caused him no harm.

Unfortunately, this time Yu Wei was prepared, wearing a protective gear of unknown function; together with a wooden staff and a broken Tang Sword, he could not recreate the previous blade aura, and could only give the barrier a minimal scrape.

"What, are you performing a circus to amuse me?" Yu Wei said, smiling at the unruffled barrier.

Speaking, he, within Chen Shicheng's murderous gaze, slowly brushed his sword tip along the blade; the bright sword instantly ignited with flames nearly as hot as the fireball technique.

Slash!

The barrier, impervious to any of Chen Shicheng's attacks, vanished silently, and the long sword, bearing dazzling firelight, cut a blade of flame in the air.

Seeing Chen Shicheng's face illuminated by the flame sword, Yu Wei showed no concealment of his brutal glare.

The last time, due to carelessness, he was killed by a newly entered player; even though he later slaughtered someone, the malice in his heart remained lodged there, never fully dissipating.

Now that rookie player stands before him; though he cannot slaughter as in reality, before killing him he can still make him feel what pain is.

"I will make you unable to live nor die!"

Recalling Chen Shicheng's wailing pleas under his sword, Yu Wei's whole body trembled with a delighted shiver, and he involuntarily spoke, his tone full of madness and cruelty.

Outside the brothel's gate, an eerie silence prevailed; only the roar of flames and his murderous voice could be heard. Whether the two bodyguards or the daring onlookers, everyone felt a chill rise from their hearts, their bodies covered in goosebumps.

Compared with others' Fear, Chen Shicheng clenched his wooden staff, eyes full of hatred, focusing all his thoughts on the opponent's incoming long sword.

The blade, cloaked in searing flames, swept forward carrying scorching sword Qi.

Unfortunately, even the most potent blade aura added to any wooden staff found in the forest could only pause the flaming blade for an instant.

As expected, the staff was sliced by a sword into flying ash, then shattered by the sword Qi; the blade, like a hot knife through butter, skimmed his palm, cutting away all the muscles on his arm along the bones.

However, Yu Wei seemed unwilling to end the fight so quickly; as the blade neared Chen Shicheng's neck, his grip reversed, the blade quivered, and Chen Shicheng's left arm rolled away from his body.

No blood splattered, as the severed wound was instantly charred by the flames, a tide of pain surged to his mind.

Logically, Chen Shicheng, raised in peaceful times, should have writhed in agony, but as his heart hammered and adrenaline flooded his body, his stark black-and-white eyes showed not only hatred but also a hint of excitement.

"Oh?" Yu Wei, seeing Chen Shicheng stumble from suddenly losing his left arm, was first surprised, then a flushed face broke into an excited grin.

"What a surprise, looks like I can truly enjoy this!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he spun sharply, reaching out his left hand to seize a black shadow attacking from behind, "Beast is a beast; you really think the same technique can be used on me twice?"

Opportunity!

In the instant La Tiao launched a surprise attack, Chen Shicheng's eyes flashed, his right hand raised palm into a blade, and his whole Qi and blood surged into it.

All things under heaven can become a blade!

The hand blade slipped out silently; the moment it touched Yu Wei's body, he felt a massive resistance, risking his already crippled right hand, and Chen Shicheng suddenly exerted force.

The domineering blade aura and recoil fractured his hand bones inch by inch, yet the barrier was broken, and the hand blade easily pierced through.

Yu Wei didn't even notice pain; he only felt the hand that grabbed La Tiao suddenly lose strength, his whole body growing weak.

Looking down, Chen Shicheng hung weakly on him, half an arm merged into his own body.

That arm was already twisted and deformed, covered with knife marks from inside out, like tiny baby mouths exuding reddish milk outward.

"Who says the same technique can't be used twice?" Chen Shicheng lifted his head, baring blood‑red teeth in a delighted grin.

Yu Wei, incredulous, stared at Chen Shicheng, mustering his last ounce of strength to clutch his arm, his body leaning back, trying to leverage it to pull the arm from his own body.

Although Chen Shicheng's arms were both ruined, he still had two legs.

In the reflection of his dilating pupils, he moved without pause, twisting his body, raising a leg, using it as a blade to kick straight at Yu Wei's neck.

Snort!

Yu Wei only felt his body become light, the world began to spin in his eyes, and in the flipping scene a headless corpse revealed what had happened.

"Impossible..."

His strong vitality prevented immediate death; after the head hit the ground, its mouth opened and closed, emitting a vague sound.

Suppressing dizziness, Chen Shicheng pulled an arm from the headless corpse, staggered to Yu Wei's head, and removed the mask from his face.

"So you look like this, B‑type, wait for me; I'll find you in reality!"

Having seen Yu Wei's appearance, Chen Shicheng didn't hesitate and stepped down.

Countless shards of meat mixed with tofu pudding and bone fragments exploded outward, staining the ground red.
