Chapter 436: Chapter 196: Level 4_2
“You’re all going to die! You’re all going to die! You’re all going to die!”
Her voice was filled with resentment.
Everyone’s gaze was drawn to the sound coming from the walkie-talkie, and they subconsciously looked towards it.
Suddenly, Nie Siyan, who had been hiding behind Xu Xiaojun, moved.
In her hand was a dagger that appeared from nowhere, and she stabbed it towards Jiang Shixue, who was next to Xu Xiaojun!
Just as the dagger was about to touch Jiang Shixue, she suddenly turned around and threw a punch. Her delicate little fist and the dagger collided fiercely. But no sound of ripping flesh or breaking bones was heard; instead, the dagger twisted and deformed!
Bang!
Nie Siyan was sent flying with a single blow.
Her entire right arm was irregularly twisted, with bone fragments protruding from the elbow area.
Wang Tao watched this scene unfold, his facial expression quite spectacular.
“What were you thinking? You chose to attack the person with the fastest reflexes…”
Jiang Shixue’s reflexes and speed were the fastest among the three. Even Wang Tao couldn’t compare with her. Not to mention, Jiang Shixue’s body was extremely tough; she was truly a Level 2, Zombie Lord. To think an ordinary dagger could penetrate her defense? Clearly impossible.
Nie Siyan would have had a much better chance attacking Xu Xiaojun instead of Jiang Shixue.
Of course, she probably couldn’t be called Nie Siyan any longer at this point.
Because, somehow, Nie Siyan had been switched out without anyone noticing!
[HP: 38470/40000]
[Mana: 15000/20000]
[Level: Level 3, Elite]
Not only did Wang Tao fail to notice, but even Jiang Shixue, whose perception was usually sharp, didn’t catch on.
“There’s something about her…”
Wang Tao could feel his adrenaline already secreting.
“Let me do the killing later!”
Wang Tao said to Jiang Shixue.
“Okay~” Jiang Shixue nodded her little head and then voiced her confusion, “Her defense seems very weak.”
“I saw it too,” Wang Tao nodded in agreement.
No matter how you looked at it, this “Nie Siyan” was at a Level 3, Elite ranking, clearly one level higher than Jiang Shixue with much more HP. Yet, Jiang Shixue had managed to break her arm with a single punch. This defensive power was a bit too low.
“Little Jun, keep an eye on the car to prevent anything else from damaging it,” Wang Tao told Xu Xiaojun.
The current situation was somewhat eerie; if something really damaged the car, that would be a significant loss. After all, the car was quite valuable.
“Sure!”
Xu Xiaojun stood by the car, holding a Giant Axe.
“Go!”
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue immediately rushed towards Nie Siyan.
As the two of them sprinted towards Nie Siyan, Wang Tao suddenly realized that Nie Siyan seemed to vanish from his sight even though she was right in front of him!
Not just seemed—she actually disappeared, because the HP bar above her head was gone!
Wang Tao’s eyes emitted a rich green light as his vision reached its peak strength, but he still couldn’t detect any flaws visually; the Nie Siyan in front of him looked exactly like the real deal!
Wang Tao threw a punch directly at this Nie Siyan.
This punch unleashed a Shockwave, hitting the target in an instant. Nie Siyan shattered like a mosaic.
Then, Wang Tao felt as if something had appeared behind him.
Wang Tao turned his head, only to see Nie Siyan reappear behind him, her face emotionless as she delivered a punch to his waist.
Bang!
[-34]
“…”
Wait, was that damage for real?
Only 34 HP was lost, and those 34 HP were absorbed by the Entangling Roots.
It felt like, aside from Nie Siyan’s abilities being somewhat peculiar, both her attack and defense seemed to be extremely weak?
If that was the case, then Wang Tao could be completely at ease.
Between him and Jiang Shixue, let’s not even say it, their defensive power was rock-solid.
“Get her!”
Wang Tao swung his fist again, using the Shockwave once more in a large fan-shaped burst.
He wasn’t sure what Nie Siyan’s strange abilities were all about, but indiscriminate attacks would do just fine.
And as it turns out, this strategy was indeed effective.
Wang Tao swung a few chaotic punches emitting Shockwaves, directly forcing Nie Siyan out of thin air!
Bang!
[-5589]
[32881/40000]
Nie Siyan, sent flying, landed right in front of Jiang Shixue.
Jiang Shixue delivered a punch straight to Nie Siyan’s face.
Bang!
[-3187]
[29694/40000]
Nie Siyan, still airborne, was smashed harshly into the ground by Jiang Shixue’s punch, and cracks formed in a circle on the concrete pavement.
Wang Tao took the opportunity to rush over and stomp hard on Nie Siyan.
This stomp didn’t cause any damage, but it pinned Nie Siyan down, preventing her from moving.
And so, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took turns pummeling Nie Siyan with their fists and feet.
Soon, Nie Siyan’s HP was close to depleted.
Seeing that she had just a sliver of HP left, Wang Tao signaled Jiang Shixue to stop; he was about to bring down his fist, the size of a casserole, onto Nie Siyan’s face.
But at that moment, Wang Tao noticed that the red HP bar above Nie Siyan’s head had disappeared and turned into a green HP bar!
Wang Tao’s fist stopped just 10 cm away from Nie Siyan’s face.
The Nie Siyan beneath his foot was no longer sporting the indifferent expression from before but a face filled with terror.
“Bro, please spare me! It’s me; don’t kill me, ah!”
Wang Tao released his foot, looking at Nie Siyan, who had no visible injuries on her, with some curiosity.
What was her situation? Could it be that the zombie had switched places with her and then switched back again?
Wang Tao grabbed Nie Siyan with one hand and pulled her up from the ground with his left hand.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by his right ear.
