Chapter 522: Life-and-Death Struggle

"So there's a rank gap between the two sides..."

In front of the computer screen, the man in the white suit sipped his red wine unhurriedly, the interest in his eyes growing richer.

Just then, as if discovering something, he clicked on the chat box at the edge of the screen, and lines of messages popped up.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"Has the dark web been taken over?"

"This screen can't be closed... do we have to turn off the computer or pull the network cable?"

"Why close it? Don't you think this is very interesting?"

"The one with the hunting rifle is that 'Hunter' from the Golden Triangle, right? This is a legendary mercenary and killer... being able to see him kill is our gain."

"So this live stream was started by the Hunter himself? To let us watch him kill?"

"By the way, the fight between these two just now was too intense. The frame rate of the screen couldn't keep up with their movements at all. I only saw a few sparks flash, and then the red-clothed one flew out."

"But who is that red-clothed person? To actually be targeted by that 'Hunter'... really unlucky."

“……”

More and more people were attracted by the screen, sparking heated discussions. The man in the white suit squinted at the blood-soaked Nie Yu on the screen, wondering what he was thinking.

The next moment, what happened on the screen made him suddenly freeze.

He saw the red-clothed figure, who had been forced back by Nie Yu’s slash, actually reveal a brilliant smile, then backhand the bone-carving knife into his own lower abdomen and slash forcefully!

The flesh was cut open by the bone-carving knife, and blood mixed with rain flowed onto the ground. The red-clothed figure’s smile became even more ferocious in the rain.

"Can't win... that's not necessarily true."

Whether it was Nie Yu or the man in the white suit in front of the screen, both were stunned at this moment. Even the messages continuously sent by other viewers paused for a moment, and then began to frantically spam words like "Oh God" and "Is he a lunatic?"

【Audience Expectation +3】

As a line of characters appeared in the rain, Chen Ling’s red robe flashed across the rain curtain like lightning, his speed much faster than before. Nie Yu snorted coldly and backhanded his hunting knife to fight him!

Clang-clang-clang-clang—

Blinding sparks swung wildly in the air. This time, the speed of their clash was even faster. Nie Yu knew what Chen Ling’s weakness was and slashed heavily at Chen Ling’s body again!

But he never expected that Chen Ling would not only not engage in a contest of strength with him again, but instead open his arms and actively use his body to take the slash!

As a cold glint slashed across Chen Ling’s body, a gruesome wound instantly ran from his shoulder to his left hip, almost cutting him in two.

Just as Nie Yu was briefly stunned, the blood color in Chen Ling’s pupils flashed wildly. He stepped forward forcefully, causing even the floorboards beneath his feet to shake. All his power gathered into his raised right fist, which then whistled and smashed into Nie Yu’s chest!

Bang—!!!

A visible circular air wave rippled out, creating a vacuum area in the dense rain curtain. Nie Yu’s 【Iron Armor】 was smashed with spiderweb-like cracks by this punch, and then his whole body was sent flying from the roof like a meteor!

At this moment, all the "viewers" in front of the screen widened their eyes in disbelief. Whether it was Chen Ling’s active self-mutilation or this sudden explosive punch, everything was completely beyond their expectations.

He actually punched Nie Yu away?!

"This guy... is he really the Opera God Path?? So good at fighting?" On the side of the road in San Francisco, the young man in the Tang suit muttered to himself, his expression extremely strange.

On the screen, Chen Ling didn't stop at all after punching Nie Yu away. Instead, he stepped on the void and rushed out, arriving above Nie Yu in a flash!

"Cloud Step?!"

The young man in the Tang suit widened his eyes, "Damn... he really is the Opera God Path!!"

The heavy rain poured down amidst the thunder. Both figures flashed off the roof simultaneously. Nie Yu’s body, already at its limit, was hit squarely by Chen Ling’s punch, and large mouthfuls of blood couldn't help but spray from his throat.

Damn it...

Before Nie Yu’s figure could land on the ground, he saw that red-clothed figure fly above him, seemingly preparing to act. Reacting extremely quickly, he grabbed the hunting rifle on his back and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

But the next moment, his fingertips only touched a smooth surface... At some point, the hunting rifle in his hand had turned into a piece of steel pipe.

At the same time, Chen Ling, who had arrived directly above Nie Yu by stepping on the void, aimed the hunting rifle at Nie Yu and pulled the trigger instantly!

Bang—!!

Flames erupted, and a bullet flew out of the hunting rifle’s chamber, hitting Nie Yu’s shoulder in the blink of an eye, a spray of blood blooming in the rain.

Nie Yu, in mid-air, had his center of gravity disrupted by the shot and crashed into the muddy ground. After rolling twice, he barely stabilized his figure.

Nie Yu spat out two mouthfuls of blood, supporting his body with the hunting knife, his face as pale as frost.

The bright red opera robe landed back on the ground step by step. Covered in blood, he twisted the smoking hunting rifle in his hand forcefully, bending it in half, and then threw it aside.

"Your injuries won't last long either." Nie Yu saw the piercing knife marks on Chen Ling’s body and the blood-gushing wound on his waist and abdomen, and said hoarsely.

"Doesn't matter." Chen Ling smiled weakly, "As long as I last longer than you."

To maximize his power, Chen Ling had risked letting Nie Yu beat him to a near-death state; otherwise, with his strength, breaking through the Tier 4 【Iron Armor】 would be almost impossible... The price for doing so was that his vitality was draining too fast. If he didn't deal with it soon, he would really die.

Both sides were in a near-death state; now it was a contest of who could make the other die faster.

"Alright..."

Nie Yu supported his body with the hunting knife, stood up shakily, his narrowed eyes revealing madness, "Then let me see, what other tricks do you have??"

He raised his foot and stomped forward forcefully. The surrounding rain paused briefly in mid-air, as if an invisible domain had opened up in the heavy rain!

Nie Yu’s left eye was gradually replaced by a wolf’s eye. At the same time, between the thunderous clouds, a huge wolf’s eye slowly opened...

Domain, 【Eye of the Hunting Ground】!

Although Nie Yu was at the end of his rope, he had realized that if he didn't use his domain, it would be difficult to kill Chen Ling... This guy, although Tier 3, was extremely tricky in terms of the number of skills, the level of weirdness, and his close-quarters combat level.

And the only means Nie Yu currently had to suppress Chen Ling was the Tier 4 "Domain," which was also Nie Yu’s final trump card.

If he couldn't kill Chen Ling within the duration of the 【Eye of the Hunting Ground】, he would surely die.

【Audience Expectation +2】

Feeling that wolf’s eye locking onto him, Chen Ling frowned slightly. He looked at the murderous Nie Yu... turned into a blood-colored afterimage, and ran away toward the distance!

Nie Yu was stunned on the spot.
