Chapter 1080: Chapter 1076: Hitting the Vital Point

As the passage behind Lin Jie was cleared, Tang Ye saw an even broader space behind him. In the distance, through the faint light, he could see what appeared to be an abyss without edges!

It was like a giant beast with its jaws wide open, quietly waiting for Tang Ye and the others to arrive!

Lin Jie stepped back a step, and Tang Ye closely followed, maintaining their standoff. However, compared to Tang Ye’s tense expression, Lin Jie seemed exceptionally relaxed.

"Come on, just follow along like this. I take one step, you take one step. If you dare take an extra step, I’ll immediately pierce her neck and make your life a living hell!"

Lin Jie said viciously, then quickened his pace backward. Tang Ye’s eyes were continuously pondering how to safely snatch Li Qingtian away; however, the more he thought about it, the more desperate he felt. It simply seemed impossible!

The distance between him and Lin Jie ensured that if he dared to move even slightly, Lin Jie would have absolute time to decisively kill Li Qingtian while closing in!

Perhaps all of Lin Jie’s apparent behavior was just an act; Tang Ye could also take a desperate gamble to test it, but he dared not try, because Lin Jie’s craziness and incomprehensible nature did not seem like that of someone who would hesitate!

Lin Jie was insane, but at the same time, insanity also had its rationality. This terrifying personality enabled Lin Jie to quickly analyze which of two choices would yield greater benefits and which choice could minimize losses.

Even if the only options left were death, compared to dying alone versus bringing others down with him, it was clear, the latter was worth it!

Moreover, choosing that path would ensure that the person killing him would live a life worse than death.

Of course, Tang Ye was also very well aware that everything Lin Jie did was aimed at wearing him down, torturing his spirits, to see who first lost their patience, but by enduring endlessly, only Tang Ye’s side would suffer.

All he could do was wait for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which seemed impossible to appear from someone like Lin Jie, but Tang Ye could only believe in miracles.

A miracle would definitely appear before him, and once it did, Tang Ye swore to inflict a torment a hundred times more cruel on his opponent!

Yet, Tang Ye’s hopes were slim. As they moved back and forth, unaware, Lin Jie had already brought Li Qingtian beside that abyss, his eyes filled with sinister fervor, his smile growing more sickening!

At that moment, Lin Jie was only a step away from the abyss!

Tang Ye looked. It was a huge pit, not caused by something falling into it but one that had been neatly excavated. Because of the distance, Tang Ye could not see how deep the pit was, but just by looking at the edge of another abyss behind Lin Jie, Tang Ye knew it was exceedingly deep!

He didn’t understand why a survivor’s shelter would have such a bottomless abyss, but Tang Ye knew it was definitely not a good thing!

"Li Henian, okay, we’re here now, you must be curious, what is this immense pit behind me, right?"

"Actually, I knew all along," Lin Jie laughed wildly, his voice reaching a pathological peak. "I never planned to use this thing against you, but you pushed me into a corner, so I thought of it. Want to know what it is? Then come in and taste it yourself. Similarly, I must tell you, I don’t know how terrifying this pit is, but I’m looking forward to seeing your performance, hehehe hahaha~"

Lin Jie broke into hysterical laughter, his voice sickly to the extreme. But the next second, the smile on his face disappeared as quickly as a receding tide, replaced by an icy demeanor.

His gloomy gaze fixed on Tang Ye, and suddenly, the tentacles behind Lin Jie began to move, all swinging towards Tang Ye. However, Tang Ye was prepared. His expression turned cold, and both of his meat flaps sprang into action. Yet quickly, one of the flaps was torn to shreds by a tentacle extended by Lin Jie. Just as he thought to stop the other flap, Tang Ye was one step ahead. The thick flap maneuvered around the encircling tentacles from Lin Jie and just reached into the air, sharply severing!

Uh~ah!

Lin Jie roared, thinking to retract his tentacles, but Tang Ye was too fast and had anticipated an attack, making it too late for Lin Jie to draw them back when he tried.

The dark purple meat flap fell from the sky with relentless force, and just as Lin Jie was retracting his tentacles halfway, the flap sliced them off on the spot!

While the tentacles were foreign organs, new humans were still human—alike to a normal person’s limbs. The pain from a severed appendage was excruciating, as if his heart was being ripped apart!

Unable to bear the pain, Lin Jie screamed, but in a moment, a bone spike appeared out of nowhere. Before Lin Jie could react, he was pierced through the heart!

Tracing the bone spike, it had emerged from Tang Ye’s chest. His chest split open, revealing a gash from which the bone, reaching over a hundred meters, had appeared.

"Uh~cough cough... What is this?" Lin Jie’s face manifested disbelief, unable to comprehend why a bone spike would emerge from Li Henian’s body?

"You don’t understand, and I never told you that this is just part of my capability!"

Tang Ye looked at Lin Jie with a cold sneer, wasting no time as he charged towards Lin Jie. He couldn’t give the opponent a moment to react if he was to rescue Li Qingtian from his grasp.

Now, Lin Jie, having been hit straight in the heart by the bone spike—an essential weak point for new humans—had no chances of surviving.

Yet, Lin Jie didn’t fall. Blood continuously flowed from his mouth as he looked at Tang Ye and sneered back.

"I’m not going to die, you dare move forward, good, let’s die together!"

When Tang Ye heard Lin Jie’s words, he immediately realized that while hitting a vital area was fatal, the vitality of new humans, especially a Level 7 like Lin Jie, meant that it wasn’t an immediate end.

Realizing this, Tang Ye hesitated, but Lin Jie was not interested in any explanations. Grinning malevolently, he picked up the powerless Li Qingtian and threw him into the abyss!
