Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 227

"Don't rush to conclusions," Nie Qingyun suddenly interrupted, her tone becoming serious.

People always refer to capable individuals as 'strongmen'...

But what defines a strong person?

“‘Strong’ doesn’t mean being able to punch through a thick wall or lift a heavy stone…”

"It's not about being favored by fate and thinking 'I could do it too.'"

"He is a guy who thinks of things others can't think of, does things others can't do, and finds a way out of adversity with his wisdom and courage."

"That's just how things are now. No matter how unfair you feel, you can only rely on yourself from now on."

"If you want to live, I suggest you remember my next piece of advice."

"First, do not fight an enemy of unequal strength under fair conditions."

"Second, make use of everything available to gain an advantage."

"Third, never let your brain stop thinking for a moment."

"That's all I can do for you right now."

After saying that, without caring whether the other party could listen or not, Nie Qingyun unilaterally cut off the communication.

Then they focused all their attention on the footage captured by the drone.

Everything that happened here would ultimately require him to clean up the mess, and Nie Qingyun was well aware of this.

However, it would be best if this dispute could have a positive effect on the innocent victim, Yosuke Yamabuki.

"Crack!"

Yosuke Yamabuki heard the sound of his bones breaking this time and cried out in pain.

What made him feel even more desperate than the physical pain was that communication had been cut off.

The thought that no one would come to save me completely filled my mind.

At the same time, Cheng Yuqiu finally compromised.

He sheathed his weapon and summoned the [Holy Tome] to cast healing magic on the bandaged man.

Ranma Tsuneno's eccentric laughter still echoed nearby.

Without even looking in the mirror, Yosuke Yamabuki knew just how wretched he looked.

His dignity as a man had long been torn to shreds by the pitying gaze of the young girl.

However, just as he was about to give up and struggle again, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bandaged man receiving treatment.

The other person's listless, muttering self-talk triggered a sudden thought in his mind, and he subconsciously recalled Nie Qingyun's advice.

First...don't fight an enemy of unequal strength under fair conditions...

In an instant, all the surrounding noise seemed to disappear.

The fact that he had no way out actually calmed Yosuke Yamabuki down.

Cheng Yuqiu's healing skills have a certain hallucinatory effect...

Moreover, it appears to be a non-targeting skill.

Although I don't know why Ranma Tsuneno and the others wanted to use me to blackmail Cheng Yuqiu, judging from their attitude alone...

They wouldn't dare actually lay a hand on this young lady...

In other words... "the controlled me" is the key factor.

if it is like this……

Suddenly, Yamabuki Yosuke looked up at Cheng Yuqiu and roared with all his might.

"please!!"

"Please treat me again!!"

Chapter 316: So, all of you come at me at once (Part 2)

"please!"

"Please treat me again!"

The loud shouts were particularly loud in the not-so-spacious room, and everyone froze in their tracks for a moment.

"Don't even think about it!" Ranma Tsuneno was the first to react, and his heart tightened immediately.

Although he didn't understand why Yamabuki Yosuke was making such a futile effort in that brief moment, he wasn't going to let the other party succeed, no matter what their ulterior motives were.

On the other side, Cheng Yuqiu, who was originally using [Holy Light Flash] on the bandaged man, also subconsciously turned around. [Holy Contract] emitted a dazzling golden light, indicating that the skill's pre-cast animation was about to end.

Upon seeing this, a look of astonishment flashed across Ranma Tsuneno's face.

Because he had absolutely no idea how [Holy Light Flash] worked, nor did he know how to interfere with its release.

However, this brief moment of distraction gave Yosuke Yamabuki a chance.

Despite the excruciating pain, the boy suddenly rolled over, grabbed the other man's ankle tightly, and then, with all his might, punched him in the back of the knee.

"hateful!"

Caught off guard, Ranma Tsuneno instantly lost his balance and knelt on one knee.

At the same time, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously stretched his hand out in front of him.

But just before the [Holy Light Flash] was about to land, the girl stopped moving again.

Because of the adventures she had with Nie Qingyun, she had matured a lot and no longer relied solely on intuition to judge problems.

What followed was a series of questions.

Why did that boy make that decision...?

Is he trying to heal his injuries and then fight to the death?

wrong!

If he possessed such strength, he wouldn't have been caught when he first escaped.

With his strength, it's absolutely impossible for him to fight Ranma Tsuneno head-on!

He should know this better than anyone else...

Why did he make such a futile decision?

Is there another intention?

Moreover... the way information is conveyed is too direct.

Shouting it out like that is tantamount to telling the other person what you're thinking...

Sure enough, just as this thought crossed Cheng Yuqiu's mind, the other party made a new move.

Although Ranma Tsuneno lost his balance, he still managed to brace himself with one hand and was trying to shield Yosuke Yamabuki with his body.

It was this action that led Cheng Yuqiu to make the final decision.

"[Holy Light Flash]!"

The golden light fell, but its target was not Yosuke Yamabuki, but Ranma Kazutsuno, who was kneeling on one knee!

The moment the latter was enveloped in light, his expression and eyes became unfocused.

"well done!!!"

At that moment, Yosuke Yamabuki almost burst into tears of excitement!

The operation was successful!

The other party realized what he was thinking!

Yes, there is no chance of winning in a direct confrontation, so the only way to get out of this predicament is to rely on Cheng Yuqiu, whom the enemy is wary of.

So the first thing Yamabuki Yosuke needs to do is break free from Tsuneno Ranma's control, so that Cheng Yuqiu can have enough room to maneuver.

The only thing that could help him achieve this was the hallucinogenic [Flash of Holy Light].

But as mentioned before, shouting loudly will alert the other party and make them wary.

But if this spell is a "healing spell" and the initial target is an "enemy"...

The first thought anyone should have was to "block" it, not "avoid" it...

Clearly, Ranma Tsuneno's behavior perfectly illustrates this point.

When Yosuke Yamabuki came to his senses again, he was being pulled up by the back of his collar and floating in mid-air, with the scenery on both sides of his vision rushing past him!

Unable to contain his excitement any longer, Yamabuki Yosuke suddenly turned his head back and said:

"As expected of Miss Jony!!"

"You can easily understand my intentions!"

"Hmph, who do you think I am?" Cheng Yuqiu said with a uniquely proud expression as she ran.

"I'm that guy's official girlfriend, so it's only natural that I noticed your little tricks!"

To be honest, Cheng Yuqiu had thought of a similar strategy when she was threatened, but the risk was too great without the other party's cooperation, so she did not act rashly.

As they spoke, the running girl suddenly stopped.

Yosuke Yamabuki's body also fell to the ground due to the loss of momentum.

But before he could even cry out in pain, his expression turned serious again.

Because the area was already crowded with people, all of them with unfriendly expressions, and they didn't look like they would easily give way.

"Looks like we'll have to fight now..." Cheng Yuqiu decisively drew his shield and short sword, turning back to whisper:

"Can you still walk...?"

"Stay close to me, they won't dare do anything to me. Just charge!"

"No!" Yamabuki Yosuke said, his face pale, and decisively rejected the suggestion.

Even if the other party really didn't dare to fight Cheng Yuqiu, a dozen people crowded together would be enough to block the corridor completely.

Once Ranma Tsuneno breaks free from the hallucinations and catches up, it won't be so easy for them to escape.

"There's no other way, is there?" Cheng Yuqiu said, while activating [Aura of Devotion] and [Blessing of Freedom].

Seeing this, Yosuke Yamabuki's expression became even more anxious.

He knew he couldn't possibly break through, because he was well aware of his current state and knew he would definitely become a burden.

Once caught, the situation will revert to its original state.

How to do!

How to do!

Think of a solution quickly!

Cheng Yuqiu turned around, about to speak, but suddenly froze.

The boy in front of him looked completely terrified, his eyes glazed over, and he was muttering something under his breath.

Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to grit her teeth and prepare to drag the other person away again.

However, in the next second, Yosuke Yamabuki suddenly raised his head:

"Secondly... make use of everything available to gain an advantage..."

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yuqiu was a little confused by these nonsensical words.

But Yamabuki Yosuke's eyes became unusually clear.

"Miss Jony, give me the sword!"

As the girl hesitantly handed over the dagger, Yamabuki Yosuke suddenly made a snatching motion, while whispering:

"Oh, I'm sorry to offend you..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the short sword was placed on the girl's shoulder.

Cheng Yuqiu instantly understood the other party's intention and turned her head to cooperate by showing a panicked expression.

Sure enough, everyone blocking the corridor looked surprised when they saw this scene.
