Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 79

He Xisi’s eyeballs darted around, and he suddenly charged towards Zhang Xiaoyi who was standing nearby.

“Kill one first if you can!”

He said with a sinister smile.

Xiao Mengyu indeed rushed forward, stood in front of Zhang Xiaoyi, and shouted with a sword:

“Stop!”

He Xisi suddenly abandoned Zhang Xiaoyi and leaped up like a large eagle, disappearing into the distance with a few bounds.

“Hahahaha!”

He laughed wildly, “Xiao Mengyu, next time if you have the guts, fight me alone!”

As he spoke, he was already further away.

— He ran away.

Xiao Mengyu bit her lip and suddenly said, “Shen Ye!”

“We can’t just let this go.”

“We must find him, and absolutely not let him kill again!”

“What do you say?”

There was no response.

Xiao Mengyu was slightly stunned, and her expression changed.

On the other side.

He Xisi crossed the stream and came behind a hidden rock.

He patted the bracelet on his wrist, pulled out a bottle of spray, and sprayed it on the shocking wound on his chest.

“Hiss—that sword strike was fierce. Damn woman, I’ll kill you sooner or later!”

He Xisi said fiercely.

It seemed he should find more like-minded friends to hunt down those few people together.

Which ones should he look for?

He Xisi fell into thought.

The surroundings were quiet.

Apart from the sound of flowing water, only the occasional rustle of leaves carried by the wind through the trees could be heard.

The wound started to ache again.

He Xisi looked down at the wound, a hint of ferocity in his expression.

Although the wound was healing rapidly at a visible rate, it still required some advanced medicines from the Everlasting Technology Alliance to fully recover combat ability immediately.

He Xisi thought for a moment, then pulled out another bottle of medicine and opened it.

“Two pills… should be enough.”

He poured out two pills and was about to put them into his mouth—

From his shadow, a pair of hands reached out and clapped him on the back.

Amidst a thunderous roar, He Xisi was sent flying, breaking through several large trees and rolling for seven or eight meters.

“Ptooey.”

He spat out a mouthful of blood, jumped up, and roared, “Who is it?”

The wind blew through the treetops.

The stream gurgled.

There was no other sound around.

“I know, it’s you—Shen Ye, you were hiding in Xiao Mengyu’s shadow just now—come out, and fight me fairly.”

He Xisi stood his ground, adopting a boxing stance, and shouted loudly.

No one appeared.

The pebble beach by the stream, the forest, and the rock piles were all empty.

Only He Xisi was there.

He suddenly went mad, clasping his hands together like a hammer and striking his own shadow with all his might.

Thump!

A large pit was made in the ground.

He Xisi knelt on one knee, pressing his hands to the ground, panting continuously.

However, there was nothing in his shadow.

Suddenly.

A blur flashed out from the tree shadow beside him, striking him like lightning.

This kick used all its strength, and just as his old strength was exhausted and new strength hadn’t yet emerged, taking advantage of his open defense, it slammed heavily into his face.

Crash—

Trees along the way snapped one after another, sand and rocks flew high, covered in white frost.

—Kicking skill, Frost Bite!

He Xisi was swept away, tumbling several times before finally standing up.

He looked down.

He saw that his body was covered in frost, half of his body was numb with cold.

“Elemental attack? What level of skill is this!”

His expression changed drastically.

No one.

No response.

The forest seemed to still have only him.

“Buddy, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have killed those ordinary students,” He Xisi said.

No one responded.

“How about this—these are their heads, I won’t keep them, I’ll give them back to you.”

He reached out and wiped his wrist, taking out several heads and placing them on the ground.

“Farewell.”

Before he finished speaking, someone moved.

In the shadow beside He Xisi—

This time, Shen Ye was indeed hiding in his shadow.

The Nightfall Dagger unsheathed.

This was an Assassin weapon from the Nightmare World, blue (Excellent) in grade.

It integrated the three advanced characteristics of sharp, penetrating, and bleeding, making it a rare and excellent assassination dagger.

He didn’t know how to use it before.

But now, the dagger paused slightly in Shen Ye’s hand, then suddenly disappeared with Shen Ye.

Pffft.

He Xisi’s body swayed violently, pierced by the short sword.

“Ah…”

He grabbed the blade that had passed through his chest with both hands, slowly kneeling to the ground.

—He seemed utterly unwilling to acknowledge the scene before his eyes.

But his life force was rapidly leaving his body.

Shen Ye stood behind him, holding the short sword, silent.

Until—

“No… I have a bright future, I’m third on the rookie list! If you spare me… I’ll give you anything!”

He Xisi finally pleaded.

After he finished these words, he lowered his head, already struggling to breathe.

—As long as Shen Ye let go.

He still had those precious medicines, and that top-of-the-line life support equipment!

“Good,”

Shen Ye said.

He Xisi was overjoyed, and with a flick of his wrist, immediately conjured a large life support device, three meters long and two meters wide.

He panted, spitting blood, his expression contorted with extreme pain from the sharpness of the sword, yet he had to lower his stance and whispered:

“Help me, put me in.”

“Just put you in?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes.”

“I refuse.”

He Xisi looked up at Shen Ye with difficulty.

“I was just teasing you.”

Shen Ye smiled and said in a conversational tone:

“For ordinary families, it’s rare to have one or two exceptionally talented children. The parents and elders in the family would be overjoyed.”

“In my hometown, they would set off firecrackers and offer incense to their ancestors.”

“I remember a senior who got into Tsinghua北大 (Tsinghua University or Peking University), and the whole village was genuinely happy for him. His family hosted eight tables that night, and everyone had a lively meal.”

“I still remember the joy on his parents’ faces.”

“Are these children any different? They’re all the same, and I believe their parents are also happy for them.”

“—But you killed them.”

He paused, and then uttered the last sentence in a soft voice.

“I won’t let you go.”

Whoosh—

The sword light flashed and disappeared, and a head flew up into the air.

The wind blew.

The head fell into the stream, and a dark red burst open with the turbulent water, then quickly dispersed, gradually drifting away, its whereabouts unknown.

Only the headless corpse remained, sitting motionless.

Shen Ye sheathed his sword, casually put away the healing spray and medicine bottle, and even the life support equipment, then carefully examined the wound on the other party’s chest.

That medicine was indeed potent.

The corpse’s wound had also healed.

This way, no one would be able to tell that he had been struck by Xiao Mengyu’s sword.

Shen Ye felt relieved and turned to leave.

“Hey, hey, he has a storage bracer, aren’t you taking it?” Big Skeleton said.

“No—the aristocratic families are unfathomable, we need to be careful when killing people,” Shen Ye said.

“But you took those medicines and sprays.”

“Because he took them out himself, and I put them in my ring, no one knows.”

“Can I use it?” Big Skeleton asked.

“Can it grow bones?” Shen Ye asked.

“Try it!”

Big Skeleton took a pill.

“…Well, never mind, this medicine only works on living beings,” Big Skeleton said disgruntledly.

“Then there’s nothing we can do, you’ll just have to remain injured,” Shen Ye shrugged.

“It’s fine—I told you my strength is still there, you just don’t believe me,” Big Skeleton said, unconvinced.

Shen Ye felt something and pulled out his playing cards.

He saw a line of small text appear on them:

“You have killed a candidate.”

“The enhancement power gained by the opponent’s killings has been absorbed by you.”

“Currently, your ‘flesh’ has gained further enhancement, evolving into ‘Meat Shield’.”

“No matter who or what, you must be hit at least four times before you completely lose combat ability and subsequently die, or become qualified meat to be consumed by others.”

Three hits became four.

Is this the reward for killing other candidates?

Shen Ye’s eyes were full of surprise, then became incomparably serious.

One attack, one life.

In fact, in battle, being able to withstand one more hit might completely change the outcome.

—This level of improvement is already quite significant.

Perhaps many people will be tempted!

After all, ordinary candidates haven’t learned any proper fighting techniques.

What should I do?

In the distance.

Several figures rushed over.

Xiao Mengyu was in front, followed by Zhang Xiaoyi and the dog.

“You killed him,”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“No, he was already dead when I arrived. I don’t know who did it,” Shen Ye said.

He winked at Xiao Mengyu.

—He and Xiao Mengyu had gone through life and death together, a friendship that transcended life and death. Some things could be said without reservation.

But Zhang Xiaoyi and the dog were only casual acquaintances.

Although he had stood up for them—

But who could say for sure about matters of the heart?

Better to be careful.

Xiao Mengyu nodded slightly in approval, looking at the headless corpse and said, “This is a sword wound, and there are traces of ice-element attacks. You don’t have these, so it seems it really wasn’t you.”

“I really wanted to kill him, but unfortunately I was too late,” Shen Ye sighed.

“Good riddance,” Zhang Xiaoyi said indignantly, “He killed several other students with us, he deserves to die!”

“Woof!” The dog also barked.

Ding!

The playing cards on the four of them vibrated.

Shen Ye took out his playing card and saw lines of small text appear on it:

“You have deterred the monsters in the Tide of Lamentation, gaining an hour of breathing room.”

“The Tide of Lamentation has begun to recede from some areas.”

“Please escape the perimeter of the Tide of Lamentation within one hour to face the next trial.”

“Failure will result in elimination!”

The wind began to blow.

The entire floating island seemed to be changing in an unpredictable direction.
