Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 70 - 64: "Soldier"!
Chapter 70: Chapter 64: “Soldier”!
“Really?”
Su Lin nodded calmly, but his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed:
“Watch out! There’s a Mutant Beast leader behind you!”
Before his words had finished, the crossbow arrow in his hand had already left the string!
“Huh?”
The martial artists from Quanzhou Village didn’t react, and thus didn’t manage to dodge.
They looked around but saw the arrow veer off to some unknown place, and the three of them burst into sharp laughter:
“Hahahaha… Seriously? Who uses such a lame excuse these days? Missed even in a sneak attack! Hahaha!”
The leading young man laughed uproariously, even wiping the corner of his eye exaggeratedly, looking at Su Lin with eyes full of pity:
“Forget it, forget it. Since you’re so good at entertaining, why not come back to our village with us? We’re just missing a clown.”
Su Lin dropped his facade of surprise, a sneer curving at the corner of his mouth:
“Really? Too bad in our village, even a dog isn’t needed.”
The young man’s face instantly turned icy cold.
However, before he could explode, the three of them suddenly felt their skins tighten, and a strong sense of crisis washed over them like cold water!
“Roar——!!!”
The deafening roar tore through the air!
A six-meter-tall giant ape leaped from the rooftop on the side, its massive body crashing to the ground, sending rocks flying!
It pounded its chest violently, its scarlet eyes fixated on the crowd.
What stood out was—a gurgling bloody hole right in the center of its large buttocks!
“Roar——!!” The giant ape locked onto its target, charging madly toward the people!
The young man’s face dramatically changed, and he cursed in disbelief, “Shit! There really is a leader?!”
He hurriedly raised his bow, attempting to stabilize the situation, shouting at Su Lin and the other two: “With a leader present, let’s join forces…”
Before his words were complete!
Bang——!
Another bowstring twanged!
A crossbow arrow shot out like a serpent flicking its tongue, piercing precisely through the forehead of a guest beside him!
The person didn’t even manage a grunt before dropping dead straight to the ground!
Su Lin leisurely drew another crossbow arrow from the quiver on his leg and steadily loaded it into the crossbow.
Zhao Yaxin had already unsheathed her long saber, poised like a leopard ready to spring.
Her icy phoenix eyes swept over the giant ape, her killing intent firmly locked onto the remaining two from Quanzhou Village.
The young man was aghast!
The only other remaining guest cried out urgently, “Young Master! Retreat quickly!”
Su Lin smiled, raising his hand to shoot another arrow.
Bang——!
The bowstring sang again, sending an arrow slicing through the air!
Though the guest watched Su Lin’s every move intently, intending to dodge, the lightning-fast arrow still pierced through his forehead, following in his companion’s footsteps.
The three-man team was reduced to just one in an instant!
The young man was completely paralyzed, all color drained from his face, staring fearfully at the spectacle before him.
Trapped between the ape and the arrows, he was utterly rattled!
Su Lin seemed indifferent, even turning aside leisurely to ask Zhao Yaxin:
“Sister-in-law, so our village is called ’Wuyin Village’?”
Zhao Yaxin’s forehead twitched with a faint black line, gazing at him crossly:
“You mean to tell me you didn’t know what your own village was called until now?”
“What does ’Wuyin’ in Wuyin Village mean?” Su Lin asked, looking curious.
Unable to stand his ignorance, Zhao Yaxin turned and flicked her beautiful eyes at him, retorting:
“’Wu’ is the ’Wu’ from Zhong Wubin! And ’Yin’ is from his famous Ancient Martial Arts technique—Yin Mountain Fist!”
“Oh, I see,” Su Lin nodded in sudden understanding.
The uncle and sister-in-law’s unabashed conversation completely ignited the young man’s fury and fear.
The giant ape was now within reach; he glanced at Su Lin, then at the fearsome figure barreling toward them, steeled himself, threw his bow aside, drew his sword, and braced himself to face the giant ape!
“Beast! Seeking death!” he shouted harshly, thrusting his sword toward the decimating giant palm of the ape!
Slash!
The sword edge etched a bloody gash across the ape’s palm.
Joy surged through the young man’s heart, just as he was about to sidestep to evade the thunderous blow—
Bang——!
The sinister twang of the bowstring rang out for the third time!
A crossbow arrow grazed perilously close to his flank!
This sudden disturbance caused him to halt abruptly!
In that split-second delay—
Bang!!
The giant ape’s fan-like palm swept violently across his left arm!
“Ah——!!!”
The heart-wrenching wail echoed through the wilderness!
The young man’s entire left arm was brutally snapped, his long sword fell from his grip, and he clutched the gushing wound as he fell rolling to the ground.
The scent of blood drove the giant ape into further frenzy; it snorted white mist from its flaring nostrils, raising its massive hands high, ready to crush everything once more!
Tearful and snot-filled, his survival instinct flared in agony, he painfully rolled sideways attempting to dodge.
Yet—
Bang——!
A fourth crossbow arrow shadowed his path, pinning him down once more!
Slash! Crack!
The heavy ape’s palm barely missed by half, brutally pounding his legs!
The grating sounds of bone fracturing and flesh tearing rang out simultaneously!
Blood and mangled flesh scattered everywhere!
Another even more excruciating, inhuman cry pierced the skies!
The once-arrogant man from Quanzhou Village lay crippled on the ground, his legs reduced to two puddles of gory mush, twitching as his screams quickly died down.
He had fainted from the pain.
The giant ape raised its bloodied massive foot and stomped down with a crash!
Splat!
Everything returned to silence, leaving only the nauseating scent of blood in the air.
Zhao Yaxin watched this cruel scene, then looked at Su Lin beside her, whose expression was calm and with a faint, elusive smile on his lips, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart.
Those two arrows… he could have directly taken that man’s life…
“Sister-in-law,” Su Lin’s voice abruptly broke the silence, “that guy was staring at your butt the whole time, and I was very unhappy.”
Zhao Yaxin’s cheeks instantly flushed red at his words, and she instinctively turned sideways to protect the curve behind her, glaring at Su Lin in shame and anger: “You…!”
“Haha!” Su Lin laughed brightly, but his hands moved as fast as lightning.
The crossbow bolt was nocked, and the bow was fully drawn!
At this moment, the giant ape, having just completed its slaughter, locked its blood-red, violent gaze onto the two of them, roaring and charging again! Its massive body stirred up a foul wind!
Su Lin’s smile remained, but his eyes were as calm as a cold pond.
The sight of the crossbow firmly targeted the fearsome head of the giant ape.
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
As soon as the giant ape entered the range Su Lin had planned, he pulled the trigger!
Buzz—!
The crossbow string vibrated violently! The arrow tore through the air!
Splat!
The giant ape let out a wail that shook the heavens!
A crossbow arrow penetrated deeply into its left eye!
Its massive body halted abruptly, and its remaining right eye was instantly filled with rage and pain!
Su Lin moved like flowing water!
He stowed the crossbow!
Drew the gun!
Aimed!
Bam—!
The muzzle flashed with firelight!
The bullet precisely drilled into the giant ape’s right eye!
Blinded in both eyes!
The giant ape descended into madness, pounding the ground furiously with its fists, producing deafening thunderous sounds!
But Su Lin shot forward like an arrow from a string!
While storing the gun, his long saber unsheathed!
With both hands gripping the hilt tightly, he leaned his body forward, dragging the long saber behind him, the tip grazing the sandy ground and creating a trail of sparks as he charged towards the frenzied giant beast!
“Su Lin!!” Zhao Yaxin cried out in shock, her heart leaping to her throat!
She didn’t understand why Su Lin suddenly chose close combat, but her body instinctively drew her blade and rushed forward; she could not let Su Lin face danger alone!
However, she had only taken two steps before her feet rooted to the ground, her apricot-shaped eyes widening in disbelief at the scene ahead.
Su Lin dashed to the giant ape’s front, pushed off powerfully, soaring high like a hawk!
“Hah!” a shout exploded from his mouth!
His biceps bulged, and the long saber transformed into a silver arc, enveloping condensed qi and blood, rising from below with a flash of silver that caught the moonlight!
Slash!
Shing—!
The blade flashed, a fountain of blood sprayed!
The giant ape’s left arm, thicker than a barrel, severed on cue!
“Roar—!!!” A howl of pain that pierced to the bone roared almost deafening!
Su Lin landed, his movements unwavering!
His footsteps moved like a phantom, a swift right dodge left cut, circled behind the giant ape unbalanced by the severe pain!
Slash again!!
The long saber tore through the air once more!
This time it was a more ferocious horizontal slash!
The blade enveloped in qi and blood gleamed with lethal cold light!
Splat—!
The giant ape’s sturdy right leg, supporting its body, was sliced into flesh by the blade, instantly severed!
Thud—!
With one leg and one arm lost, the giant ape toppled like a collapsing mountain, crashing heavily sideways!
The earth trembled!
But Su Lin’s figure was already a swift line!
Utilizing his forward momentum, he stepped through the swirling dust, traced an arc, and arrived beside the giant ape’s fallen head!
“Die—!” a thunderous shout erupted!
His long, slender pale hands tightly gripped the saber handle, his entire body’s qi and blood boiling!
He raised the saber!
The descending long saber slashed out a straight line, like silver lightning tearing through the night, fiercely cleaved down!
Swoosh—!!!
The giant ape’s enormous head flew high! Blood gushed like a spring from the severed neck!
Boom!
The headless massive body crashed heavily into the dust, throwing up clouds of sand.
Su Lin stood with his saber drawn, slightly panting, with qi and blood surging in his chest, the blood dripping from the saber tip blossoming into crimson flowers on the sand.
Zhao Yaxin stood dumbstruck, her mouth slightly agape, staring dazedly at the figure standing with the saber, her heart overwhelmed with unspeakable shock.
If she remembered correctly… this was only Su Lin’s second time in close combat against a mutant beast.
And the saber in his hand was just ordinary iron from a construction platform.
Yet in his hand, it could so effortlessly… sever a leading mutant beast’s limbs, even decapitate it with one stroke?!
He… had he truly honed his “Soldier” to this extent?!
