Chapter 657 Xia Shou vs. Van Cleef (Part )

The wind on the rooftop was very strong. Xia Shou condensed a mask in his palm and put it on his face.

When Xia Shou took the first step onto the rooftop, Van Cleef, who was facing the entrance, seemed to sense something, a feeling that was indescribable.

It was a feeling of oppression that made it difficult to breathe, as if the air and the ground were shaking slightly, and made the skin numb as if being pricked by needles.

Van Cleef turned around, and their eyes met through the two masks.

Mask against mask, people in the book against people in the book.

There was a look of surprise in Van Cleef's eyes behind his mask. This scene reminded him of a hazy picture, as if he had seen it in a dream. It was a confrontation similar to the current atmosphere.

The air was still so trembling, and the murderous intent floating in the air seemed to be able to penetrate into every pore. The slight chill made people feel excited and the emotions were high!
Van Cleef dared to guarantee that he had never had such an experience in his life, but he was extremely familiar with this feeling, as if he had experienced it in his previous life!
"Is it Xia Shou?" asked Van Cleef. He felt his throat was a little dry, so before he spoke, he tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

"You should have something to say to me." Xia Shou replied.

"Originally, yes, but now I've changed my mind. Let's talk about it later." Van Cleef smiled behind his mask.

He didn't know why he was laughing, but he suddenly felt relieved about some things.

Before this, he had actually been thinking, why did he want to kill Xia Shou? Was he going to kill Xia Shou, who knew nothing and had not committed any crime, just to eliminate the possibility of being killed?

Although he knew that according to the development of the plot in the book, Xia Shou would definitely become an unforgivable murderer in the future.

But just as he himself does not think he is an evil king, Xia Shou now will never think of himself as a murderer. No one will take responsibility for something they have never done.

If we pin all these things that haven't happened yet on the young Xia Shou, what's the difference between that and others pinning all the crimes of the evil king on him?
Van Cleef couldn't convince himself that he was killing a murderer, so he had been mentally preparing himself to kill an innocent ordinary person.

He attributed the necessity of all this to inevitable fate, and therefore wanted to forget everything about it.

It is to forget unnecessary responsibilities and also to forget real guilt.

But from the moment Xia Shou stepped onto the rooftop, Van Cleef instantly changed his original opinion.

Although reason and the views he has always held believe that the current Xia Shou should not be equated with the future Xia Shou, something older and more powerful overwhelms these fragile views.

That kind of thing, perhaps it should be called instinct!
Even herbivores that have never heard of a tiger's roar will tremble when they hear it, just as humans are born with a hatred for the corpses and blood of their own kind. Some things are not acquired through wisdom, but flow in their blood from the moment they are born.

That's instinct.

He had no reason to believe that the man in front of him was dangerous, not only because of his murderous intent, but also because of the madness that permeated every cell of the other man!

Van Cleef was shocked to find that he actually felt it, he felt that he had really been killed by him once!
Quick victory!

Van Cleef raised his hand and sucked Xia Shou towards him, while the dagger in his sleeve shot out at supersonic speed.

"Snapped!"

Xia Shou snapped his fingers.

A strange bird song suddenly sounded above my head.

A ghost crow that looks like an owl keeps circling in the sky, chirping continuously.

Van Cleef paused.

A strange burning sensation came from deep inside his body.

Van Cleef suddenly fell to his knees, and the sound of vomiting came from behind the mask. Blood continued to flow from the eye holes and edges of the Mask of Pride.

His skin quickly turned red and blisters appeared, but when the blisters burst, sticky, foamy blood oozed out.

"Sure enough, the locking skill cannot be defended." Xia Shou walked step by step to Van Cleef.

The traction that was originally acting on him was lifted the moment he activated [Owl Cry Blood Boiling]. It can be seen that Van Cleef's ability requires continuous attention. When he suffers great damage, the use of the ability will be interrupted.

If nothing unexpected happens, the body's surface rejection that he had activated at any time should have been turned off by now, and he could be hurt by any weapon.

The only thing that surprised Xia Shou was that Van Cleef did not die immediately.

This is not the underworld. Ordinary people would die instantly if their blood boiled.

"Uhhhhhh!!"

Van Cleef, who had already lost his ability to fight, suddenly roared and swung the dagger forward.

The dagger flying at supersonic speed pierced through Xia Shou's chest in the blink of an eye. The terrifying kinetic energy almost blew Xia Shou's chest into pieces.

The heart, lungs and bones were all turned into powder. Under the influence of the power of the [Pseudo Blood Demon], the exploded flesh and blood quickly liquefied into red mist, filling in the missing part of Xia Shou with a liquid chest.

"Do you still have the ability to fight back?" Xia Shou asked coldly.

He saw Van Cleef in front of him, his whole body was covered with white steam from boiling water, under his red skin, it seemed like there were giant earthworms moving, and blood was constantly seeping out from his pores.

"I've decided, I'm going to kill you!

Wait!
Next time, I will definitely kill you!"

VanCleef growled inarticulately, more blood spurting out from behind his mask.

Xia Shou frowned. The feeling the other party gave him now was completely different from the last time they met. It was like he was a completely different person.

Is it because he was about to be beaten to death that he lost his mind?

No, he shouldn't be able to be killed because he's also wearing a mask.

The effect of the mask should be to pull the spirit of the person in the book into the real world, and the person wearing the mask is just the spiritual carrier of the person in the book.

Even if I kill the other person, he will just return to the book.

In that case, let's try using the Shadow Seal!
Just as the shadow under Xia Shou's feet was about to unfold, a huge force burst out from Van Cleef's body.

0.0001 seconds.

The powerful impact spread in all directions, and the hard reinforced concrete and soft plasticine were no different, both being torn apart inch by inch under the huge traction force.

In the extremely short period of time when the changes are too short to be observed by the naked eye, everything within sight is reduced to dust.

Everything, at a certain moment, entered an atomized state.

A large number of atoms were pushed to the edge of the cell by the huge explosion. After touching a certain limit boundary, they suddenly shrank without any warning.

Tianyu Mansion, a famous high-end riverside residential complex in Jiangbo City, disappeared after 0.0001 seconds.

Such exaggerated destruction was caused by so much force that not even a sound was heard, because the vibrating air was forcefully pulled back at the last moment.

Within the area, only a family bus and an armored vehicle remained unscathed.

Bai He, standing next to the armored vehicle, opened his eyes wide and watched the sudden changes happening outside.

Within a diameter of thousands of meters, there is nothing left.

There was only a thick layer of ash on the ground, finer than the finest sand in the desert.
