Chapter 286 208: Both End and Beginning_3
An unprecedented shiver surged in his heart, for the first time in his life, Ou Chenyu felt an irresistible fear.
"Yiyu... Yiyu..." Ou Chenyu crawled on the ground, using both hands and feet, snot, tears, and saliva poured out along with his rapid breaths onto the ground.
"Tap, tap, tap..." Cold footsteps sounded behind him, like Death God ringing the death knell.
Nuobai dragged the Tang Blade as she approached, the sparks from friction illuminated the shadows on her face, revealing and then concealing them, while her crimson eyes flickered with cold glints.
Suffocation, despair, and fear were tangled together.
Ou Chenyu wailed and shrieked, crawling to the edge of the waterfall cliff.
The waterfall at Meteor Canyon is over 800 meters high, its bottom invisible in the dense night, looking down was like gazing into a bottomless black hole.
If it were any other waterfall, jumping down might be a risky escape option.
But with such a height difference, a person would be smashed to death upon hitting the water.
Even if a synthetic body could withstand the impact of water, the bottom of the Meteor Canyon waterfall is filled with hidden reefs, crashing into them would have a 99.99% chance of turning one to pulp.
"Don't come over! Let's talk it over! Don't come over!!!" Ou Chenyu raised his only remaining hand and pleaded hoarsely, trembling like he'd been electrocuted, nosebleeds accompanying his rapid breaths kept flowing out.
Nuobai gently twisted her wrist, and the Tang Blade reflected the final fatal cold glint.
"Boom!!!" The fourth supersonic slash struck.
"Ah!!!" Ou Chenyu was overwhelmed by despair, and to avoid the slash, he leapt off the waterfall, falling into that abyss of death.
Instantly, the feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body.
He plunged rapidly along the waterfall, the roaring rush of water sounded like angry waves battering his eardrums.
Falling.
Falling.
Continuing to fall.
"Splash!!!" At the moment of hitting the water surface, the violent impact nearly disassembled him, sweeping him into the whirlpool of turbulent currents.
He rolled uncontrollably in the currents, enveloped entirely by icy water as if countless hands were tugging at him.
The suffocating feeling plunged his consciousness into darkness, the concept of time became blurred, leaving only endless chaos.
He didn't know how much time had passed, seemed only seconds, yet felt like ages...
His consciousness gradually cleared, vaguely sensing the water currents around him weakening, and his body regaining control.
Groggily, he opened his eyes, realizing he'd been swept to the waterfall's shore. The cold wind brought a piercing chill yet imparted a vibrant sense of life.
"I'm... still alive?"
Instinctively, Ou Chenyu placed his hand on his chest, perceiving his heartbeat still racing!
He was alive!
The Meteor Canyon waterfall hadn't killed him!
He had miraculously evaded those myriad hidden reefs, surviving in the 0.01% chance!
Trembling, he ran his hands over his battered body, the thrill of surviving filled his heart.
His mouth twitched incessantly, finally erupting in manic laughter: "I'm still alive... I'm not dead! Woo! Yes! Even Lady Luck is on my side! Su Mo, what can you fight me with? Hahaha!!!"
His manic laughter mingled with the sound of the waterfall, echoing around: "I'm favored by heaven! No one can kill me! Hahaha!"
"Buzz——" suddenly without warning, a strong light appeared at the shore, beams from searchlights tore through the night, making the water surface glisten.
"Ha..." Ou Chenyu's laughter abruptly stopped, blankly staring at the shore.
In the stormy rain and howling cold wind, thousands of law enforcement officers rushed out from the darkness, surrounding the waterfall's edge.
Rain formed streams on their faces, each fully armed, holding the most advanced firearms, hundreds of infrared aiming lasers targeted Ou Chenyu's body, almost dyeing him a blood red.
Seeing these troops ambushed along the shore, Ou Chenyu's gaze became utterly unfocused.
Among them, Su Mo stepped forward, beckoning to Ou Chenyu: "Grand Captain Ou, is it cold in the water? Come up here and let's talk."
Seeing Su Mo, the hatred in Ou Chenyu's eyes dissolved like poison: "You're really intent on exterminating..."
Su Mo crossed his arms, smiling meaningfully: "You said it yourself, Lady Luck is on your side, you're heaven's favorite, how dare I relax even a bit?"
"To be honest, you're really formidable. A few times I thought you were done for, yet you miraculously survived."
"Hey, don't you feel like one of those protagonists in novels? Facing strong enemies with low health yet bursting for power, blessed with various fortunes, no predicament can trap you."
At this point, Su Mo's gaze deepened: "I'm curious, in this final enclosure, can you still act out a miracle survival?"
Ou Chenyu's gaze scattered, he did not speak.
The answer was undeniably clear.
His strength had already reached its limit, his entire synthetic body was wrecked in the endless battles before, managing to stand and run a few steps was already a miracle.
Here, there were thousands of law enforcement troops, the Anti-Violence Fourth Section Alpha Squad had arrived overhead by Floating Airship, and the great mastermind Su Mo hadn't even made a move yet.
Not to mention his current debilitated state, even in his peak condition, escaping from here wouldn't be easy.
The torrential rain washed over his face, despair like a tidal wave surged in Ou Chenyu's heart, completely engulfing him.
He knew he had reached the end of his road.
His face was full of sorrow, tremblingly pointing at Su Mo: "You, Su, if you're a man, don't hide behind them, come out and duel me! If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, if I win, you let me go!"
