Chapter 55: Beheading (1/2)

Chapter 55: Beheading

As the long, blood-colored blade flew out, a headless corpse tumbled through the air.

Blood aura!

Su Chen’s move had been both vicious and accurate. First, he had used Wolf Blade as bait, attracting Madame Bai’s attention and blocking her line of sight. Next, he had suddenly launched a surprise attack, instantly beheading Madame Bai.

“NO!” Bai Fan let out a heart-broken yell.

He had never expected that his wife, who had only asked for Su Chen to let them go, would be greeted with such a violent tactic.

How could this person act this way? How could he do such a thing?

He was still feeling sorrowful when he saw Su Chen place his hand on Madame Bai’s chest, bringing her corpse with him as he flew towards Bai Fan. At this moment, Madame Bai’s head was still rotating in the air and had yet to hit the ground. Her eyes were opened wide, as if she had begun to realize something. When she saw Su Chen charging forwards with her own headless corpse, as if holding up a shield, she wanted to scream. However, she had no energy to do so, and her vision dimmed. Her last moment of realization faded into nothingness.

At the same time, Su Chen had already rushed to Bai Fan’s side.

At this moment, Madame Bai’s head was still flying in the air, and Bai Fan’s emotional state was not yet steady. He had yet to even experience much grief before Su Chen had already arrived in front of him.

Su Chen arrived fast as lightning.

In that moment of danger, Bai Fan hurriedly retreated out of instinct from his many years of experience. His speed was extremely fast, as he was actually an expert in body techniques and speed. Multiple afterimages appeared in his wake as he used his speed to avoid this blade strike.

Su Chen’s blade struck nothing but empty air, yet he did not stop. He raised his shoulder, then charged forwards. His speed did not decrease at all; in fact, he sped up, and with two loud ‘bang’s the two of them had broken through the wine shop and rushed outside.

As he was retreating, Bai Fan pulled out his sword and slashed out in the air, leaving multiple sword streaks behind in an attempt to slow Su Chen’s attack. In response, however, Su Chen unleashed an extremely powerful blade strike.

He had not activated the blood aura with this blade strike, but it caused Bai Fan’s long sword to be knocked aside, revealing an opening.

Bai Fan was greatly startled. In this critical moment of life-and-death, he did not even have time to feel sorrow nor rage. He focused all his energy towards his legs and his speed suddenly increased, as if some kind of lock had been broken in his body. Suddenly, a small issue that he had never understood before seemed to make sense to him. Even his strength had broken through along with this, and he began to fly like the wind.

Bai Fan was extremely excited. His mood could be described as grief and joy mixed together, but in the next instant his mood once again plummeted.

His sudden increase in speed had not shaken off Su Chen. Su Chen’s figure had simultaneously sped up. With the activation of the Snaking Mist Steps in conjunction with the Cloud-Stepping boots, Su Chen was actually drawing nearer to him.

How is this possible?

Even after breaking through, I have no way of being faster than him……

“NO!” Bai Fan let out a crazed yell.

A formless wave of sound rushed towards Su Chen at this moment. Bai Fan had unleashed a sound-attack type Origin Skill.

Su Chen’s figure flashed to the side as he dodged the attack. Bai Fan used this opportunity to hurriedly change direction, but at that very instant he suddenly felt faint. His figure instantly stopped, and with a few rumbles, the ear-shattering noise from an unknown object struck Bai Fan like thunder, causing numerous splashes of blood to fly out from his chest.

His speed greatly decreased.

Su Chen had already flown towards him.

Bai Fan finally began to panic. He regretted more than ever rashly trying to interfere and pissing off this strong individual.

He yelled loudly, “You cannot kill me, I am……”

The only reply he received was the flash of a cold blade.

Whoosh!

Bai Fan’s figure that was moving at high speed suddenly swayed and stopped.

He lowered his head, looking at his midsection. A thin line of blood slowly began to widen. Bai Fan’s intestines began spilling out of his abdomen.

“What…… a powerful…… blade……” Bai Fan barely squeezed out.

“Since your wife is gone, why stay in this world alone,” Su Chen coldly replied.

The long blade once again slashed through the air.
