PDLP Chapter 213: Even with all the cards up their sleeve, they still got instantly killed.
Chapter 213: Even with all the cards up their sleeve, they still got instantly killed.
In the bamboo forest, even the wind seemed to stand still.
An awkward atmosphere permeated the air.
Nie Renwang stared intently at Chen You with his copper bell-like eyes, his chest heaving violently, clearly going through a fierce internal struggle.
car?
What kind of car?
This guy isn't humiliating himself.
He genuinely, from the bottom of his heart, disliked that he was too slow!
This is more unacceptable than any humiliation!
"This is outrageous!"
Nie Renwang squeezed out four words through gritted teeth, each word seeming to have used all his strength.
He felt his dignity being pressed to the ground and repeatedly rubbed in a way he couldn't understand at all.
"You..." He pointed at Chen You, his fingers trembling.
"You think you're so great just because you have a little money? That you can buy everything?"
Chen You looked at him, his eyes still so pure and sincere.
He nodded.
"..."
Nie Renwang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
But strangely, the other person's eyes were as clear as a child's, as if stating the most basic truth in the world.
This feeling of unease was trapped in Nie Renwang's chest, unable to escape or dissipate.
He needs an outlet!
An outlet that can both preserve one's last shred of dignity and speed up this damn process!
Finally, on the verge of the program crashing, he found a perfect logical loop.
Nie Renwang suddenly straightened his back, and his face, which had been flushed with anger, now carried a hint of tragic heroism and determination.
He stretched out his hand, which was as big as a clay pot, palm up, towards Chen You.
In an almost roaring tone, he uttered the most out-of-character statement of his life:
"Fine! Since you're so eager to die!"
"Then pay up!"
"One thousand gold coins!"
"I, Nie Renwang, will grant you this wish today!"
He roared with overwhelming force, as if he wasn't asking for money, but rather bestowing upon the other party the supreme honor of a fair fight.
Yan Yan, standing next to him, had a completely blank expression on her delicate face.
She looked at Nie Renwang's outstretched hand with a self-righteous air, and then at Chen You.
The plot... can it really go this way?
However, Chen You seemed to have expected this, and even showed a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he thought the boy was teachable.
"If you had said that earlier, it would have been fine."
He had barely finished speaking.
【Ding! 】
A crisp system notification sound rang in Chen You's ears.
A semi-transparent gold payment window popped up in front of him.
[A special agreement has been detected between player "Chen You" and the special story boss "Fire Kirin King - Nie Renwang".]
[Should I spend 1000 gold coins to activate the "Rapid Return" service for the BOSS?]

2. The weapon "Bloodthirsty Blade" will undergo a hyperspace jump to automatically seek a master.
[3. The BOSS's status will instantly return to 100% of its peak.]
【whether】
Chen You: "..."
Wow, there really is an official channel.
This person is incredibly skilled at this task.
He chose "yes" without hesitation.
One thousand gold coins.
Just to revive an NPC with full health, and then beat yourself up?
This experience is so novel!
"Buzz—!"
The moment Chen You confirmed the payment, the entire bamboo forest suddenly went dark.
An indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky.
Nie Renwang and Yan Yan looked up at the same time.
A blood-red crack suddenly tore open across the azure sky, like a wound in the heavens.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding red light burst out from the crack.
Like a falling meteor, trailing a long fiery tail, it hurtled straight toward Nie Renwang's location at a terrifying speed that tore through the atmosphere!
"boom!"
The crimson light abruptly stopped three inches above Nie Renwang's head.
The light faded, revealing a gigantic blade with a ferocious shape, crimson color, and a blade that seemed to have magma flowing along its edge.
A scorching and violent aura, centered on the giant blade, swept through the entire bamboo forest!
As Nie Renwang felt this familiar power, his eyes blazed with unprecedented fervor.
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife.
"Buzz—!"
The giant blade was in hand, emitting an excited buzz.
At the same time, the aura that had weakened due to the injury from the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lightning on his body surged wildly at a visible speed!
The health bar, which had been down to 20%, was instantly restored to full!
Then it changes from green to red.
A blood-red aura, far more ferocious and violent than before, erupted from his body, enveloping his entire being.
"My power...is back!"
Nie Renwang felt the surging power within him and let out a satisfied roar.
He slowly raised his head, his crimson eyes fixed on Chen You, a cruel smile spreading across his lips.
"Now, there are no more excuses between us!"
"Today, this place will be your final resting place!"
He held the knife in both hands, raising it high above his head, the blades gleaming with blood.
The temperature in the entire bamboo forest rose sharply under this force.
"Are you ready to die?!"
Faced with this devastating attack, Chen You simply watched him calmly, even having the leisure to offer a comment:
"The dialogue is good, it has a powerful feel."
He paused, his tone becoming somewhat urgent.
"Hurry up, I'm in a rush."
"You're asking for it!"
Nie Renwang's anger was completely ignited by this casual remark.
He stopped talking and poured all his anger, humiliation, and fighting spirit into the blood-stained blade in his hand!
"Raging Scale Slash!"
With a roar, the giant blade, carrying the phantom of a Qilin, cleaved down!
Before the blade even arrived, the scorching blade energy had already carved a deep, charred trench in the ground, heading straight for Chen You's feet!
This strike seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth in two!
Yan Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
However, just as the raging blade was about to touch Chen You's head...
Chen You moved.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor any dazzling or spectacular moves.
He simply raised his right hand, fingers pointing like a sword, and gently swung it at the incoming crimson blade light.
Three faint white lights appeared in front of him without warning.
That is not light.
It is a sword.
The three swords are identical in design, their bodies carved like warm jade, exuding innate Daoist charm.
Their appearance was so abrupt, as if they had been there from the beginning, or as if they had transcended time and space and descended directly upon this place.
puff!puff!puff!
Three soft sounds, almost inaudible.
Nie Renwang's offensive came to an abrupt halt. His tall and imposing body trembled violently, and he slowly lowered his head.
Three bloody holes appeared on his body without his knowledge.
The crimson health bar above his head instantly plummeted from 100% to a mere 1%.
That's right, it went down in an instant.
Sold out instantly.
If it weren't for the system's invincibility mechanic for story bosses, they wouldn't even have 1% health left.
【Ding! 】
Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in Chen You's ears.
