10. Direct and merciless kill
"Tell me, why are you so determined to kill me? You're not crazy."
Lin Fan held the knife to the other person's neck and asked the question he wanted to ask.
"That devil deserves to die!"
Even after being taken prisoner, Bai Ningbing did not bow her head; her gaze toward Lin Fan remained icy cold.
The response was still that familiar phrase: "That devil deserves to die."
If looks could kill, Lin Fan would be dead by now.
Lin Fan just laughed; he'd gotten used to hearing about this devilish man so many times.
"Since you deserve to die, now that you're in my hands, tell me, what should I do with you next?"
Lin Fan had a smile on his lips, but his words were full of threat.
Bai Ningbing remained silent. As the empress of the new era after the apocalypse, her mindset was naturally resilient enough.
Although she was captured, she did not regret her actions, and she could accept the fate of the victor and the vanquished.
Lin Fan smiled again, then reached out and grabbed the other person's fair neck, slowly lifting them up.
The feeling of suffocation quickly came, but Bai Ningbing remained calm, her eyes still as cold as the ice of the Netherworld.
Having been given a second chance at life, she had long since disregarded life and death, and her life now had only one goal.
That means killing the demon!
Lin Fan originally wanted to chat with the other party, since he actually had quite a few questions he wanted to ask.
Seeing the other person's reaction, he knew that asking was pointless.
Since it's destined to be a waste of breath, then let's just say nothing at all.
Not afraid of death?
Then I'll send you to your death!
The opponent's strength is clearly not that of an ordinary person; in an online game, that would mean a higher level.
He was eagerly anticipating how much experience he would gain from killing the opponent, and whether it would drop rare items like elite monsters.
He had previously killed an ordinary person and received a powerful skill book as a reward, so he was looking forward to fighting the high-level monsters now.
With this expectation, Lin Fan grabbed the other person's hand and twisted their neck with force.
With 16 times the strength of an average person, snapping a neck would be too easy for him.
The other party is an absolute beauty; normally it would be a waste to kill her.
But Lin Fan still maintains that he prefers stable experience and skills to people with unstable factors.
Women will only slow down my knife-wielding speed!
With her neck forcibly broken, Bai Ningbing's life force quickly dissipated.
Lin Fan casually tossed the corpse aside and was about to check the system notification.
However, even though Bai Ningbing was clearly dead, the system notification sound never came for a long time.
Forget about getting any items, I didn't even see any experience points.
"What's going on?"
Lin Fan was stunned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Previously, whether you killed zombies or living people, the experience points would be credited immediately upon killing the other party.
But now that the other side is clearly dead, none of these have come.
Lin Fan frowned and waited for a while before looking at Bai Ningbing's corpse.
"Could they not be completely dead yet?"
Lin Fan picked up the Tang sword in his hand, wondering if he should finish the job.
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
Bai Ningbing's dead body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming from a human body into a sculpture of ice amidst billowing cold air.
Then, right under Lin Fan's gaze, it shattered into ice shards with a loud bang.
There was nothing but ice crystals and a set of clothes on the spot.
As for Bai Ningbing, who was lying down, not a single hair of hers remained.
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Fan was completely puzzled and couldn't understand it at all for a moment.
At the same moment, in the apartment room where Bai Ningbing had previously stayed, a completely naked figure slowly emerged on the large bed in the room.
At first it was somewhat hazy, but under the surge of icy aura, it quickly became completely tangible.
The figure was none other than Bai Ningbing, who had disappeared earlier!
"Hoo-ha, hoo-ha—"
Bai Ningbing, now revealed, was breathing heavily, her large chest heaving, her entire body trembling.
It took her quite a while to calm down.
However, his face remained pale, like a patient recovering from a serious illness, and his sharp eyes had dimmed.
"That damned demon has actually advanced to the second tier! And it's only been two days! How could this happen?!"
Bai Ningbing gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disbelief, in addition to her resentment towards the demon.
If she hadn't left the Mystic Ice Mark at her destination before leaving, which could act like a substitute scarecrow to die in her place and teleport her back to the spot where she left the mark, she would really be dead by now.
The demon's final burst of power completely surpassed hers, reaching a higher level of the second tier.
Moreover, this is a starting estimate.
The power at that time had completely exceeded her tolerance, so it was naturally difficult for her to perceive it accurately.
It was a complete rout; she couldn't even put up a fight.
If she hadn't had a backup plan, she would have been dead beyond any doubt.
Recalling the details of the battle, a sense of fear arose in her heart.
The demon is too powerful; can she still deal with him?
"I cannot lose heart! The demon's strength is indeed beyond my expectations, but rapid growth in strength in the early stages does not guarantee rapid growth later on. This has already been proven in my previous life; the demon was not strong before he forged his ultimate weapon, and was even somewhat weak!"
Bai Ningbing quickly shattered the despair deep within her heart by relying on her peak Empress mentality.
As a peak empress, she naturally possessed an invincible heart, not to mention that she was starting over with the memories and experiences of her previous life.
If she can't even do this, then she's a complete waste as an empress.
He's just a mere demon; she'll definitely be able to take his head!
However, she still needs to continue developing, and the pace of development needs to be accelerated.
"I didn't want to take any risks, but now I have no choice but to."
Bai Ningbing took a deep breath. Having finally been reborn, she originally planned to play it safe and not deliberately disrupt the process of the apocalypse.
After all, besides the demons, humanity will have other enemies.
But given the current situation, she has to make changes.
Compared to other enemies, the world-destroying demon is clearly more dangerous.
Although she said that a fast start didn't mean a fast finish, she didn't dare to actually gamble, because anything could happen in the long run.
If the demon is allowed to grow stronger again, there will be no way to deal with it.
Having made up her mind, Bai Ningbing sat cross-legged on the bed and used special meditation to recover from her own depletion.
A mark that can be used to take someone's place obviously comes at a great cost.
However, this duel will not end once she recovers.
the other side.
Just as Bai Ningbing was sorting out her thoughts and recovering, Lin Fan, who was curiously examining the broken ice shards, suddenly encountered something interesting.
