Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 44

You have obtained 75 Primal Crystals.

You have received a "silence ban" x1

What the hell!

It actually came out!

Nie Qingyun could no longer remain calm.

Even my hands started to tremble uncontrollably.

Although he doesn't want his strength to rely too much on a particular skill or equipment, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to.

To be honest, when Nie Qingyun first saw Liu Zhenyu's detailed information, she was very envious.

Even compared to some high-level skills, the Silence decree is still among the best.

Besides its powerful effects, the most distinctive feature of this skill is its long duration and extremely subtle activation timing, making it difficult for the average person to detect.

Once infected, one will be at a great disadvantage.

However, in the next second, Nie Qingyun's face suddenly turned even more unpleasant than if he had eaten a bitter melon.

He then remembered that he had a passive ability that prevented him from learning any skills.

Furthermore, this "Silence Ban" is soul-bound and cannot be traded or given to others.

Left with no other choice, Nie Qingyun had to bite the bullet and choose to study.

You have received the "Gifted Liberation (Scroll)".

【Gift of Liberation (Scroll)】

Type: Consumables

Quality: B+

Remaining uses: 3

effect:

For 5 minutes after use, you gain the [Graceful Liberation] status. While you have the [Graceful Liberation] status, every 6 attacks you are attacked will negate the damage of the 7th attack; every 6 attacks, the 7th physical attack will deal up to 300 times the current attribute value in power, and then you will receive 50% of the damage dealt as damage refund.

"puff!!"

Good guy!

Holy crap!

If I had obtained this spell scroll earlier, I wouldn't have had such a difficult fight with Liu Zhenyu.

Should I just punch him and send him flying out of the Milky Way?!

Although I didn't manage to learn the [Silence Ban], having this is still pretty good!

Just as he was getting more and more excited, he suddenly heard a girl's soft moan in his ear.

"You...you hurt me!"

Nie Qingyun suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was still holding Cheng Yuqiu in his arms.

The two were very close, and if you lowered your head slightly, you could see the girl's round breasts pressed tightly against your chest.

Moreover, the other person seemed much taller than usual; if I looked at them at eye level, I could only see their chin...

After sensing that something was amiss, I unconsciously squeezed my hand a little harder.

"Mmm!" Cheng Yuqiu cried out sweetly, her face turning as red as an apple, as if steam could rise from it at any moment. Her big eyes were watery, as if she was enduring something.

Nie Qingyun then realized that he had actually lifted the girl up by her bottom, and his face turned somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't help but say:

"Uh... I'm used to it."

"Hmm?" The girl's expression suddenly changed, and her gaze gradually sharpened.

Nie Qingyun's lips twitched, and he wished he could punch himself.

What a terrible answer!

Although he had done everything he could with his senior, he didn't want to ruin the trust they had just built up over such a small matter.

Just as he was thinking of how to smooth things over, the girl in front of him suddenly looked anxious.

"They...they're trying to escape!" Cheng Yuqiu patted Nie Qingyun's shoulder while pointing behind them.

"Those guys are trying to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Qingyun's gaze turned cold again. He gently put down the girl in his arms and picked up a chair from beside him.

Mitsui and the others, who were crouching close to the wall, jumped into their throats when they heard Cheng Yuqiu's voice.

The next second, a chair suddenly flew through the air and smashed directly into the wall in front of Xu Kun.

The splintering wood shards forced the group back several steps.

Nie Qingyun pulled up another chair and sat in the middle of the lecture hall, revealing a smile even more sinister and chilling than Liu Zhenyu's had before:

"My rule is the same as his: of the three of you, only one can live."

Chapter 59: It's not impossible to do something risqué... (3.7k)

The three of them stood there stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing what Nie Qingyun meant.

They immediately showed expressions of fear.

Xu Kun reacted the fastest, immediately kneeling on the ground and pleading while crying:

"Big brother! Please spare us!"

"I know I was wrong!"

After saying a few words, he seemed to remember something and said repeatedly:

"It's all because of that guy Liu Zhenyu that we were forced to do this!"

“We are just ordinary people. If we don’t do what he says, we will be killed!”

Mitsui glanced discreetly at Xu Kun, then, understanding the unspoken message, knelt down with him.

"Yes, yes, it was all Liu Zhenyu who forced us to do this. We didn't want to do it at all."

At this point, he suddenly looked up at Cheng Yuqiu and pointed at her, saying:

"Brother, if you don't believe me, ask her."

"Liu Zhenyu planned everything from beginning to end; we did nothing."

"This..." Cheng Yuqiu pondered for a moment. In her memory, Mitsui and the others had a relatively low profile. It seemed that Liu Zhenyu had indeed been in charge of everything before.

However, just as the girl was about to speak, Nie Qingyun interrupted her.

"Close your eyes, turn your head away, and plug your ears too."

Cheng Yuqiu glanced at Nie Qingyun's profile and saw that the other party's expression was very serious, so she nodded slightly, obediently turned around, and covered her ears with her hands.

After the girl stood in a relatively safe position by the wall, Nie Qingyun silently turned his head, a blue light flashed in his hand, and a three-edged dagger appeared out of thin air.

He had personally witnessed the actions of several people through a drone.

Mitsui and the others abruptly stopped in their prostrations, their expressions changing drastically.

They then realized that the usually taciturn man opposite them was far more ruthless than Liu Zhenyu.

As he said, when an idea comes to mind, he will put it into action immediately.

It's clear that the other party is going to take action themselves.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of letting him go, Mitsui suddenly glanced at the door.

However, in the next second, he was suddenly struck hard on the back of the head.

Amidst the splatter of blood, his body lost its strength and he collapsed to the side.

His head slammed heavily against the ground and bounced back up.

In his final moments, he saw a gaunt face stained with blood.

Blood dripped from the other person's hair onto their glasses, obscuring their vision.

"Four-Eyes, are you crazy?!"

Xu Kun cried out in shock, staring incredulously at the four-eyed man holding the iron rod. He muttered to himself as he stumbled backward:

“You…what are you doing…”

As if he hadn't heard anything, Four-Eyes slammed the iron chair leg down again.

The metal clashed against flesh, producing an unsettling "crackling" sound.

In just a few seconds, a pool of blood surrounded Mitsui's body.

A moment later, Four-Eyes stopped what he was doing and slowly turned to look at Xu Kun.

His eyes were numb and empty, yet a sinister smile graced his face.

"I'm sorry... I don't want to die..."

"I really don't want to die..."

"So, I'm sorry..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards Xu Kun.

The latter reacted quickly, ducking to avoid the oncoming blow.

The two then began to fight.

They tore and rolled in the pool of blood, their faces contorted in rage.

Driven by the instinct for survival, they will stop at nothing to kill each other, like two wild beasts with only human appearances.

The process was short, lasting only a dozen seconds, when Xu Kun was punched in the throat in the chaos.

Then, with a series of merciless attacks, he stopped breathing completely.

"I...I won..." Four-Eyes straightened up from his knees, his glasses, which were still hanging on the bridge of his nose, now distorted and deformed. After a moment, he suddenly let out a grotesque laugh:

"I won!"

"I can live..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a dagger pierced his chest.

The next second, as the dagger was pulled out, a spurt of blood gushed from his chest, and he fell straight down.

Nie Qingyun expressionlessly shook off the blood from the triangular dagger, then squatted down to check if the three people were completely dead.

This is not his perverse sense of humor.

Even for enemies, killing humans is still not a pleasant experience.

Since meeting his senior, Nie Qingyun has killed over a hundred zombies.

Even though the zombies were no longer human and only retained physical features, he still felt himself gradually losing his reverence for life amidst the constant killing.

Even before killing Four-Eyes, he had wondered if these people would drop the [Dying Treasure Chest] like Liu Zhenyu did.

However, Nie Qingyun quickly suppressed this idea.

This is not the way humans should think.

Even if such scenes of turning against one's own kind are inevitable in the future, he still wants to live as a human being.

Another thing is... he doesn't have the habit of being soft-hearted for a moment and then waiting for the enemy to retaliate.

"Boom!"

Nie Qingyun looked toward the doorway.

The sound of zombies banging on the door grew louder and louder, and the sound of the banging attracted even more zombies, creating a vicious cycle.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the effects of the [M42K Experimental Individual Combat Agent] were gradually disappearing.

What follows will be the side effects of severe cell overload.

Thinking of this, he suddenly shifted his gaze to the corner, where three figures were huddled together.

Perhaps because Nie Qingyun had killed someone, coupled with the facial features caused by the drug, his expression at this moment looked extremely frightening.
