Chapter 285 208: Both End and Beginning (Part 2)
In this state, entering second-level overload, before he even moved, sparks of malfunction exploded from his body, continuously emitting the noise of prosthetic components breaking down.
Yet it was precisely this reckless counterattack that allowed Ou Chenyu to regain the upper hand.
He swiftly dodged Nuobai's slash, immediately spinning up, swinging the Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife towards Nuobai's abdomen at an extremely tricky angle.
Nuobai's blood code had already advanced to "Critical Middle Tier," far stronger than when first meeting Su Mo, there's no doubt about it.
However, combat skills are such that only long practice can prevent rust.
Nuobai had retired for several months now, leisurely drinking tea and petting cats daily, never holding a knife again, inevitably causing his combat skills to atrophy, unable to dodge Ou Chenyu's attack in time.
"Pssh!" The Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife pierced into Nuobai's side waist, effortlessly severing a rib, tearing open flesh, bringing up a vast scarlet blood mist.
Seizing the moment when Nuobai was stiff, Ou Chenyu pulled out the combat knife and swung it backhand towards her head.
"Sss—" Even though Nuobai desperately dodged, her face still took a heavy blow, the mask was completely sliced apart, leaving a grim slash running across her face.
Ou Chenyu stood like a War God in the rain, laughing wildly at the wounded Nuobai on the ground: "Ah, is this the Silent Death God? If it weren't for my injuries today, I'd have killed you with one strike!"
The gash on Nuobai's waist and abdomen was very deep, the flesh thoroughly ripped apart, with exposed ribs protruding after being severed.
The slash on her face extended from the side of her brow all the way to her chin, the wound blackened by the high-temperature blade, not even letting blood flow out.
Tonight, Ou Chenyu had first driven back Audiana's top hand, Broken Blade, then fought the Anti-Violence Fourth Section and defeated Alpha Squad's captain Ivan, and now heavily wounded the Legendary Mercenary Silent Death God in Meteor Canyon, his arrogance inflated to the extreme.
He pointed the knife at Nuobai, continuously mocking: "With this little ability, you dare to make a comeback? Trash! Come on, fight me!!"
"Ding." With the Tang Blade supporting her, Nuobai slowly stood up.
Ou Chenyu was about to continue his mockery when he suddenly noticed something unusual.
Under the strong regeneration power of the Crimson Rose Blood Code, the broken bone at Nuobai's waist visibly returned to place and automatically mended, the wound on her face healed within seconds, leaving no trace on her smooth, fair skin.
Immediately, a vast white mist arose from Nuobai's body surface, traces of rapidly rising body temperature and cold air forming convection.
Blood surged rapidly through Nuobai's body, her cells trembling in the scalding blood flow's impact, as body temperature continued to rise, strange blood patterns emerged on her fair skin, spreading like scarlet vines, weaving exquisite yet savage patterns across her body.
Her long white hair danced wildly in the cold-hot convection, cascading like a misty snow curtain, her eyes behind the hair no longer black, but a burning crimson.
Scorching Blood, the ultimate move of the Silent Death God.
Ou Chenyu knew nothing of this move.
After all, among people in this world, only Su Mo had seen Nuobai's red eyes and lived.
Beyond the rain curtain, those crimson eyes were filled with terrifying violence, intertwining a ruthless beast-like light, merely meeting their gaze induced an oppressive deathly pressure, ready to crush at any moment.
Ou Chenyu did not understand the Scorching Blood, nor what Nuobai's eyes turning red signified, yet his body instinctively sensed it, that irresistible sense of crisis ravaging his entire being, every cell trembling as if in fear.
"Clack." Nuobai sheathed the blade, stepped forward, lightning flashing in the air, illuminating the burning brightness in those crimson eyes.
Ou Chenyu realized something was wrong, rain and sweat intermingling like a stream flowing across his face, retreating in panic.
"Boom—" At the moment Nuobai charged at Ou Chenyu, the ground beneath her feet completely crumbled, cracks extending tens of meters, the sonic boom breaking open in wave-like patterns, her body entering the supersonic realm.
The Tang Blade refracted dazzling light, violent power converging at the blade's tip, like a meteor's howl, crashing into the Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife with crushing force.
"Clang!" Without suspense, the Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife was broken in response, shattering into dozens, hundreds of fragments, showering down with the rain curtain.
Ou Chenyu's palm was also seriously damaged under the immense force, his scream piercing, his hand covered in alarming malfunction sparks.
"Boom!" The second strike followed closely, the surging blood in Nuobai's body awakening the most terrifying power within her cells, the flying rain curtain around dissipating in supersonic movement, forming a clear zone.
Even though Ou Chenyu forcibly entered second-level overload, the earlier battle with Ivan had taken too much toll, the prosthetic couldn't hold out, barely managing to dodge.
Nuobai's strike didn't land solidly, but as the Tang Blade merely grazed Ou Chenyu, he felt explosive power infiltrate his body.
"Sss!!" Ou Chenyu's artificial blood vessels burst one by one under immense pressure, blood splattering everywhere, raining down a scarlet mist in the air.
"Ah! Ah!!" His will shattered, frantic cries escaping his throat, crawling and rolling on the ground like a wounded dog, trying to escape Nuobai.
"Boom!!" Nuobai instantly appeared behind Ou Chenyu, the Tang Blade's blazing light seeming set to lift a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Ou Chenyu raised his right arm in defense, but it was all in vain.
As the cold gleam passed, his right arm was severed cleanly at the shoulder by the Tang Blade.
"Pssh!!" The lingering force of the supersonic slash caused large patches of flesh to strip off his body, the flying figure crashing through layers of rocks, shattering to pieces at the waterfall's edge, his whole body without a single intact piece.
