CHAPTER 2014: CHAPTER 2007: CLASH OF BLADES AND SWORDS

At that moment, the searing pain from his chest made him cry out in agony, his voice hoarse, sounding even more eerie than the howls of zombies!

His body had been impaled by the sword, the blade protruding from his back, and with a "thud," he knelt on the ground, his cries followed by incessant coughing.

In the corner of his eye, he finally caught sight of Su Sigui’s figure. Today, he understood just how troublesome this woman was!

After the palpitation subsided, he suddenly laughed, a wild and mad laughter!

"Kekeke... Such pain, this is the feeling! Su Sigui, thank you for bringing me such a wonderful sensation. I admit, I underestimated you because you’re a woman, but now, I have to be cautious. Come, let’s revel! Until the end... when I kill you!"

"Or perhaps... in the end, you kill me... Kekeke..."

As his words fell, he saw Su Sigui frowning while watching him stand up, pulling out the ominous longsword from his chest, and then inserting a hand around the wound, actually scraping off the bloodied flesh corrupted by the sword!

He watched Su Sigui throughout, as the bone knife cut off pieces of flesh one by one. While scraping, he kept watching her with laughter, laughing so boldly that if it were someone else facing Su Sigui, their scalp might have tingled by now!

To reach the level of a Level 9 Rester, Chen Chaoyang’s ruthlessness was indeed beyond ordinary!

This man’s twisted face was several times more terrifying than a zombie! The facial expressions caused by the severe pain added a touch of hellish color to his demeanor, making anyone who saw him shiver!

Chen Chaoyang had no choice but to do so. He knew the sword that Su Sigui inserted into his body came from the Silver-armored Zombie King Tang Ye! The zombification ability of this corpse was too strong; if he were to be wounded, he might soon be transformed into a Silver-armored Zombie!

He dared not to bet, for once turned into a Silver-armored Zombie, unless a miracle happened, he, as a Level 9 Rester, would become a puppet of Tang Ye!

Thus, he had no choice but to do this!

And the reason he kept watching Su Sigui and laughing was because he saw through her, not because she was forcing anything, but because he saw through the restless heart beneath Su Sigui’s calm exterior!

She hadn’t planned to waste too much time on him; compared to him, she had a more important action to take!

That was to stop the Zombie King Kamutos from approaching Cloud Gorge Base!

Wherever this Zombie King passed would turn into a white desert, and if it were to approach Cloud Gorge Base, it would basically be over!

And seeing Su Sigui’s eyes fixed on him, her heart sank. Chen Chaoyang was right; she indeed didn’t have much time to waste on this guy!

Without Zombie King Kamutos, Chen Chaoyang would definitely die by her hand; there was no possibility of survival!

This was her confidence!

After all, before dealing with a Zombie King, she wouldn’t mind eliminating this trouble first, but... what a pity...

Both of them were at the Level 9 stage. She could indeed kill him, but if he were intent on defending against her and delaying her, it would be too simple for Chen Chaoyang! On the contrary, for Su Sigui to kill him, it would be several times more difficult!

Soon, Chen Chaoyang had completely scraped off the infected flesh around his chest wound. Seeing that Su Sigui hadn’t acted yet, he sneered, "Come on, do it, kill me! Why... unwilling?"

"Or do you have plenty of time? If so, I don’t mind playing with you properly."

Upon hearing this, Su Sigui’s brows furrowed tighter, her grip on the knife increased, although in this brief confrontation, the opponent had become smarter, no longer easily taking the initiative, giving her choices!

Time ticked by slowly, and her heart sank again and again! Finally, she couldn’t wait any longer, suddenly plunging the bloodied longsword she held heavily into the ground, tearing a strip of cloth from her clothing, and used it to tie her long hair into a ponytail. At that instant, her gaze became exceptionally sharp!

When her five fingers grasped the knife handle again, her figure flickered, the whole person vanished before Chen Chaoyang’s eyes. His opponent quickly reacted, swinging his knife to the right, the clash between blades erupted with terrifying force, causing a shower of rubble to fly into the sky, countless cracks appeared on the street, rending the ground, forming a sprawling "spider web"!

Amid the dust, the figures of the two couldn’t be seen anymore!

But not long after, Chen Chaoyang rapidly retreated, while Su Sigui sped up, leaving a trail of afterimages wherever she went!

She circled Chen Chaoyang in a wide arc, and after picking up her longsword, she shot towards him like a missile!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the two flew back together, and Chen Chaoyang hadn’t adjusted his position in the air when Su Sigui bounced back like a pinball! At the same time, a sword slashed towards his neck!

"Ugh! Ha!" Chen Chaoyang hurriedly raised his knife to block the attack, the clash between sword and knife created a loud noise, white fog dispersed, and at that moment, Chen Chaoyang only felt a sharp pain in his web of the thumb, Su Sigui also didn’t feel well, but for her, this pain was trivial, swinging the sword was immediately followed by a knife slashing!

Chen Chaoyang barely blocked it, but then the sword was already at his throat! Successfully parrying it, the opponent swung the knife horizontally immediately afterwards!

Just like that, a sword followed by a knife, a knife followed by a sword, each strike was deadly!

Extremely ruthless and unreasonable!

Her sword and knife moves became faster and faster. Before her, there was only a flash of blade and sword!

She demonstrated with the most ferocious means what is called offense as the best defense!

Facing her swift and windy attack speed, Chen Chaoyang was left only to block and block, unable to spare a hand. He tried to control the tendrils and flesh petals on his back to attack the opponent, but before touching her, they were sliced into numerous pieces in an instant! Su Sigui gave him no opportunity!

He wanted to distance himself from Su Sigui, but each time he succeeded, the sword and knife in her hands would extend into tendrils, forcibly pulling him back!

At this very moment, as the two Level 9 powerhouses fought intensely, the surrounding buildings had completely disappeared without a trace, morphing into seemingly natural shingle piles!

It was hard to tell how long it had been, finally, Chen Chaoyang found a chance, sacrificing all of his flesh petals to create some distance between them, catching his breath.

Su Sigui also stopped, staring coldly at him, and at his bone knife, now full of notches from the fight!

"Hahaha..." After catching his breath, he laughed again, but the laughter didn’t last long. He noticed Su Sigui’s gaze shifting from him to the sky, suddenly realizing something. His heart tightened again, and upon turning his head sharply, he found himself surrounded by a terrifying swarm of red-feathered birds!
