Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

The sturdy young girl next to him alone is not someone he can easily defeat right now.

Now that their underwear has been exposed, there's absolutely no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and turned to flee towards the back door.

The others present were completely stunned, speechless with shock.

Han Zheng, in particular, recalled that he had once had a conflict with Nie Qingyun...

The only reason I'm still alive is because the other party didn't really intend to kill me.

Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

Cheng Yuqiu's eyes were filled with stars, her heart was pounding, and she looked at her guard with eyes full of admiration.

However, in the next second, a strange laugh suddenly erupted from the spacious tennis hall.

"Hmph... Hehe... Ahahaha!"

Liu Chengyuan suddenly stopped, propped his forehead with one hand, locked his gaze on Nie Qingyun, and then clapped.

“Wonderful!”

"I have to admit, you really gave me a fright..."

As he spoke, his tone suddenly changed, and he pointed ahead, saying:

"You can even deduce my skill information, and you're so certain of it."

Why say it out loud?

"Shouldn't they have kept it all buried deep inside, and then delivered a fatal blow when I was off guard?"

A strange look flickered across Nie Qingyun's eyes, almost imperceptibly, before he heard Liu Chengyuan continue speaking loudly:

"But you didn't do that..."

In other words, you simply don't have the means to kill me!

"Otherwise, you would have made your move long ago and wouldn't have given me a chance to breathe."

"Are you deliberately acting all confident to discourage me?"

"I almost fell for your trick..."

"Slap!" Nie Qingyun slapped Cheng Yuqiu awake, who was still dazed, and left with the words "Prepare for battle!" before charging out like a cheetah.

Just then, Liu Chengyuan also made a move.

He raised his hand high and instantly took out several crystal-like objects from the [Data Space], crushing them all in his hand.

Chapter 115: Could you be any more cunning?

Nie Qingyun's goal has never changed.

The first priority is to obtain the [Primordial Crystal]. If you have the resources, you can also help Shi Chuanyu and Han Zheng rescue people.

Liu Chengyuan was merely an obstacle in the process.

When faced with obstacles, the most efficient approach is to bypass them if possible.

Therefore, Nie Qingyun was indeed doing everything possible to avoid a deadly fight with Liu Chengyuan.

Even if you want to kill the opponent, you have to wait until you finish drawing gacha at the [Resource Drop Point].

Liu Chengyuan was clearly smarter than he had imagined, managing to stay calm even in this situation.

Continuing to waste time with unnecessary chatter would be a waste of time, so we opted for a direct attack.

Nie Qingyun darted over ten meters in a few steps, summoning a weapon from the [Data Space] along the way.

But just as he raised his weapon to attack, his hand suddenly stopped moving.

Because he saw clearly what Liu Chengyuan had taken out.

[Essence of Chaos]!

A clear look of astonishment flashed across Nie Qingyun's face.

Because the data on this item is in the "Apocalypse Survival Guide," and it states that each transcendent can only use it once.

Liu Chengyuan actually used several of them at the same time.

How can this be? !

However, the current situation left Nie Qingyun no time to think things through.

The longer the battle drags on, the more variables will emerge.

It must be resolved quickly.

Just then, Liu Chengyuan, who was standing still, suddenly burst out with a cloud of white steam.

It enveloped his entire body in an instant.

Nie Qingyun immediately stomped his feet on the ground and, using the momentum of leaning forward, flung the fire axe in his hand away.

At the same time, he summoned a three-edged dagger and held it in front of him.

The next second, a crisp "ding" sound came from the white weapon.

Then, the red fire axe was launched into the air.

When the white mist dissipated, Liu Chengyuan was still standing in the same spot.

However, his body had grown to be over three meters tall.

His already well-developed muscles became even more bulging and knotted, and his pupils turned pitch black, like two empty vortexes.

From a distance, it looks like a humanoid beast.

"Roar!"

Liu Chengyuan suddenly roared, his voice echoing throughout the tennis hall, deafeningly loud.

He then stomped on the ground, and like a moving mountain, he crushed down on Nie Qingyun.

Seeing this, Nie Qingyun dared not be careless. Instead of taking the heavy punch head-on, he nimbly dodged and slipped under Liu Chengyuan's arm to his back.

As he turned, he gripped the triangular dagger in his backhand and attacked Liu Chengyuan's lower back.

This is the highest vital point he can reach without his feet leaving the ground.

"squeak!"

The triangular dagger struck Liu Chengyuan's lower back with perfect accuracy, but it felt like hitting a steel plate, sparking a burst of fire.

Nie Qingyun's eyes widened instantly, not because she was surprised by Liu Chengyuan's defensive capabilities.

To his surprise, the attack hit.

It's important to understand that fighting Liu Chengyuan is not like a regular brawl, where you throw punches and kicks, and it's a contest of reaction and skill.

When facing a skill like [False Vision] that can glimpse the future, you must anticipate the opponent's reaction and all possible angles from which they might retaliate before making any attack move. You need to lure the opponent into seeing a "false future" so that your attack may be effective.

Otherwise, all attacks would be easily predicted and dodged.

Nie Qingyun's thrust at Liu Chengyuan's lower back was actually a feint; he had already planned his next move while he was thrusting.

But to his surprise, the other party didn't dodge; instead, he stood there and let him poke him.

In a brief moment of distraction, Liu Chengyuan had already turned around, and his huge fist, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, attacked Nie Qingyun's face directly.

Seeing that there was no way to dodge, Nie Qingyun could only grit his teeth and raise his fist to meet the attack.

However, the next second, his body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall at the edge of the tennis court.

Having landed a successful blow, Liu Chengyuan's face flashed with a fierce smile. Without stopping, he stomped the ground and charged towards the edge of the wall amidst flying wood chips.

"Nie Qingyun!"

Cheng Yuqiu screamed and, without thinking, raised her shield and stood in front of Nie Qingyun.

It wasn't until she was completely obscured by Liu Chengyuan's massive, mountain-like figure that she felt the overwhelming sense of oppression.

So frightened that he couldn't even scream, he quickly squatted down and buryed his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Even so, she did not leave Nie Qingyun's side by even half a step.

When Liu Chengyuan saw someone blocking his way, he immediately twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands above his head and slammed them together, like a battering ram, onto the ground.

"careful!"

Shikawa Yu instinctively cried out, then closed her eyes tightly and turned her head away, seemingly unable to bear watching the cruel scene that was about to unfold.

"Boom!"

The floor was cracked, and debris was flying everywhere.

The entire tennis hall seemed to shake slightly.

Liu Chengyuan's face was contorted with rage as he slowly raised his hands and turned his gaze toward Nie Qingyun in the distance.

But they found that there was no one by the wall.

Just as he was about to shift his gaze to look for her, he heard a girl's voice coming from beneath him.

"Waaaaah...it's so heavy..."

Liu Chengyuan didn't move, but turned his gaze to the source of the sound. The next moment, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

A small figure still crouches in the crater formed by the cracked floor, a shield atop its head.

Cheng Yuqiu frowned, but showed no sign of pain, clearly indicating that she was not injured.

"How can it be!!"

Liu Chengyuan stood frozen in place, even thinking he was hallucinating.

When Cheng Yuqiu ambushed Nie Qingyun earlier, he used his shield to block one of Nie Qingyun's axe blows.

At that time, Liu Chengyuan had already judged from the girl's calm and collected demeanor that her defense must be extremely high.

But things are different now. After using the [Essence of Chaos] multiple times in a row, his strength attribute has increased by at least several times compared to before.

Moreover, he was certain that he had used more than 80% of his strength in that attack.

This didn't even hurt the other party, is this guy made of iron or something?

"Clap!"

Lost in thought, Liu Chengyuan suddenly felt an itch on his face, as if something had hit him. He instinctively raised his hand to catch it and found it was a small piece of floorboards.

He couldn't help but look up and saw Cheng Yuqiu bending down to pick something up.

The girl immediately stopped moving like a startled rabbit and hid her hands behind her back.

Liu Chengyuan was truly astonished by Cheng Yuqiu's defensive power, thinking that the other party was about to use some kind of ultimate move. He immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and used his arms to protect his face.

The expected attack did not come; instead, a delicate shout was heard.

"A flash of holy light!"

Chapter 116: The Observer in the Shadows

"Oops!"

Upon hearing the phrase "a flash of holy light," Liu Chengyuan was suddenly startled.

Forget about attacking, it quickly lowered its center of gravity and rolled to the side.

Given Nie Qingyun's almost monstrous calculation abilities that he had previously demonstrated.

Even when facing Cheng Yuqiu, Liu Chengyuan dared not be careless in the slightest.

Although he was able to quickly break free from the hallucinogenic effects caused by [Flash of Holy Light] thanks to his mental attributes.

But in the heat of battle, a moment's distraction could lead to falling into the opponent's trap.

However, Liu Chengyuan, who had focused all his energy on fighting the hallucinations, waited for a while but did not feel anything unusual in his body.

So he opened his eyes and looked ahead.

But there was no trace of Cheng Yuqiu in the small pit in front of them.
