Chapter 127 – Endure for a moment and your anger will grow; take a step back and you’ll find yourself on the edge of a precipice


Swish!

[Mortal Kill] clashed with the spear in the young man’s hand.

With just one strike, visible cracks appeared on the spear.

The young man’s pupils contracted slightly at the sight. That weapon in his hand was way too overpowered.

As the two sides engaged in a battle of strength, countless green ice spikes and red wind blades rained down on the young man like they were free.

But for some reason, they all turned into pebbles falling into the ocean, not even causing a ripple.

Ye Shuangluo observed the dark elements active around the young man and seemed to understand why his moves had no effect.

The characteristic of the dark element was devouring.

With a cold smile, the young man thought, let’s see how much you can devour.

With a forceful grip on his blade, he pushed the young man back fiercely.

Then he began to summon the three major elements: wind, ice, and fire.

In just an instant, thousands of ice spikes, wind blades, and fireballs appeared in the air.

“…This is going to be fun.”

The dark elements on the young man’s body frantically devoured the incoming elemental attacks, but the speed of devouring slowed down.

Until he couldn’t devour anymore, then…

Boom!

The three elemental energies collided continuously, eventually causing an explosion with a range of hundreds of meters.

From the smoke of the explosion, a mass of black energy suddenly flew straight towards Ye Shuangluo.

The Wind Spirit Wings flapped continuously as Ye Shuangluo tried to dodge the black energy through high-speed movement.

But the black energy locked onto him tightly, and its speed increased until it successfully hit him.

[Player yk432 has activated a skill, you need to perform a dual judgment of mental and dark element resistance…]

[Dark element judgment… failed]

[Mental judgment… passed]

[You will temporarily fall into a state of blindness (lasting 5 seconds)]

Ye Shuangluo’s vision went dark, and he couldn’t see anything.

But his extraordinary perception was not just for show; even with temporary blindness, he could accurately lock onto the enemy’s position.

As soon as he realized he couldn’t dodge, he had been closing in on the young man who released the skill.

He couldn’t deal with the skill, but he could deal with the person who released it.

Swish!

A strike infused with both wind and fire elements pierced straight through the young man’s head.

For some reason, a faint smile hung on the young man’s face, as if everything was within his expectations.

Ye Shuangluo’s perception was frantically alerting him, as if something bad was about to happen. Without hesitation, he flew towards the sky.

Boom!

The young man’s “corpse” exploded instantly. Even though Ye Shuangluo reacted in time, he was still slightly affected by the explosion.

“Damn it, my [Blood Demon Armor] needs points to repair again.”

The young man slowly descended to the ground, and within a few breaths, his health points were fully restored.

“Was that just a substitute or a clone of some sort?”

The last strike didn’t have the sensation of cutting into flesh.

Moreover, within his perception range, the opponent’s aura had completely disappeared.

In other words, the young man used a substitute to block the blade and successfully escaped.

Ye Shuangluo frowned slightly; this was the first time a player had escaped from his grasp.

Indeed, he still wasn’t strong enough.

Forget it, sometimes it’s better to let things go. If he ran away, so be it.

He accepted it… right?

A thousand miles away, a young man was leaning against a wall, panting heavily.

“Damn, that really hurt.”

After Ye Shuangluo activated the [Asura Demon Eye], every attack inflicted soul-wrenching pain on the enemy.

Although the young man ran fast, he still got hit by several ice spikes, wind blades, and fireballs.

The damage wasn’t very high, but the accompanying pain was unbearable.

Thinking about the terrifying strength displayed by that junior during their brief encounter, he felt a sense of relief at having survived.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel:

“How is he improving so fast? I’ve been through at least two or three more worlds than him, yet the gap is so big?

It’s absurd, I almost got killed.”

On the other side.

“Gaia, let’s make a deal. Give me the coordinates of that guy who just escaped.”

(Ye Shuangluo, do you think I would support you in internal strife? It’s already my biggest concession not to actively stop you.)

Ye Shuangluo nodded after hearing this, looking as if he understood, and then suddenly said,

“200 players.”

(Hmm?)

“Give me his coordinates, and within three worlds at most, I’ll exchange them for the World Essence from 200 players.”

(…Jin Zaixian has a lot of potential. Although he can’t compare to you, he has brought me over 20 pieces of World Essence.)

“300 players.”

Ye Shuangluo raised the offer expressionlessly and paused for a moment, adding:

“This is all I can offer. If you’re not willing, then forget it.”

(Deal. When do you need his coordinates?)

“Hold on, I need to deal with her first.”

Ye Shuangluo turned his gaze to Louise, who had been trying to escape while the two were fighting in the air.

Unfortunately, her attributes were sealed, and an ordinary woman couldn’t break free from the mysterious ice that froze her legs.

Ye Shuangluo slowly approached the woman and switched the [Mortal Kill] in his hand for the [Ghost Luo Blade].

“Aaaah!”

A miserable scream echoed through the sky, making it hard to imagine what the owner of the voice was experiencing.

“The internet is not a lawless place, be cautious with your words and actions.”

‘Recently, the world’s most famous superhuman, the “Elven Goddess” Louise, had an accident during an outdoor live broadcast.

We may never see her again (paying respects).

The reason for her death is simple: her unrestrained speech.

As everyone knows, she often mocked other players, and the one she mentioned the most was the “Brother Black Knife” from Kyushu.

For those unfamiliar with “Brother Black Knife,” you can check out the other two videos on my homepage.

(Video link)

Based on the scene, it seems the two had a fierce battle, tearing the entire park apart.

Of course, the result was naturally Louise’s defeat.

It’s said that besides Louise, there was another mysterious man at the scene.

Together, they made eight pieces, which might be what the Kyushu saying “dismembered into eight pieces” refers to.

Lastly, an interesting tidbit: before leaving, Brother Black Knife from Kyushu wrote eight words on the ground with blood:

“Next, it’s your turn.”‘

Below was a picture, showing Louise divided into four parts and the blood-written words on the ground.

It’s worth noting that each piece of Louise’s skin had the words “Sorry~” carved into it with a knife.

Ye Shuangluo’s actions, considered insane, caused a global uproar, completely igniting the already delicate atmosphere between players and ordinary people.

In the USA, some people even started an online petition, demanding the authorities pressure Kyushu to hand over the culprit.

Some extremists believed that players were too dangerous and should all be executed.

Of course, those extremists mysteriously died after expressing their opinions.

At this moment, in a certain women’s rights group in the country, countless female activists were anxious.

“Louise is dead! That useless woman, I thought she was something special.”

This was a blogger who had been stirring up gender conflicts by riding on the popularity of Louise and Ye Shuangluo.

“Exactly, whether that useless woman is dead or not doesn’t matter to us, but now that she’s dead, that Brother Black Knife… won’t really come after us, right?”

This was a loyal follower of the aforementioned blogger.

“Tch, I’m not afraid anyway. Louise died because she was a public figure. We’re just ordinary people. Can Brother Black Knife really come through the internet to kill me?”

This was a fighter who believed in the law not punishing the masses and thought that just expressing opinions online wouldn’t lead to trouble.

“Are you sure these players, who can go anywhere, can’t track you through the internet?”

This was a fighter who became rational after the initial fear.

“Aaaah, I just followed along because everyone was talking about it, and I posted a video cursing too. What should I do?”

This was a little princess spoiled by her family and dragged into the group by others.

“Kyushu men have no grace at all, unlike the men in the USA, who are passionate, open, humorous, and charming.”

This was a shepherd dog who believed the grass was always greener on the other side.

The same scenario was playing out in countless women’s rights group chats.

Many of the female activists weren’t fools; they claimed to worship Louise but were actually using her name for their own gain.

After all, the gender conflict wave was too tempting a benefit.

Of course, there were those who genuinely worshipped the feminist leader Louise, but they were a minority among minorities.

In South Korea.

Jin Zaixian had just returned home and was about to use his phone to call some women over to dispel his bad luck.

Swish!

Without any defense, his throat was slashed open by a blade.

Gurgle gurgle!

Blood spurted out like a fountain. He desperately clutched his wound and took out a healing item from his space backpack.

Giggle!

The arm holding the healing item flew high, followed by the other hand being chopped off.

He fell powerlessly to the ground, and just before he collapsed, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes, both familiar and unfamiliar.

I shouldn’t have run around aimlessly.

Jin Zaixian slowly closed his eyes, his health points completely depleted.

Whoosh!

Ye Shuangluo poured a can of gasoline on him, then conjured a flame in his palm and casually tossed it onto him.

Only after Jin Zaixian was completely reduced to ashes did he summon the [Wind Spirit Wings], preparing to fly back to Kyushu.
