"Fuu..." Xiao Shen sighed and once again extended his inexistent hands to touch one of the illusory clocks.
The time stopping and reversing stuff happened once again and he opened his eyes back in his body.
Like before, or well, as always, he was still moving at very high speeds.
The bullet chat messages that always sounded the death knell for him appeared once again:
[So fast⚡!]
[Anchor is on fire! 🔥🔥🔥]
«[### has gifted x10 speed!]»
«[### has gifted x5 speed!]»
But he was prepared this time. After experiencing moving at such speeds, he had gotten a little bit used to it.
Right now, he was at a point where he could at least see somewhat properly!
"Hah!" Xiao Shen leapt into the air the moment the 50x speed boost took effect and turned his body to the side.
If his body was exploding due to the pressure caused by the resistance of the air acting upon his body, then reducing the surface area of his person was undoubtedly a good idea!
WHOOSH!
His body swept through the air like a missile, flying forward for dozens of metres. However, after flying for a while, his body slowed down and crashed into the ground with a bang, turning into a bloody pulp...
"Aiyah..." Xiao Shen rubbed his inexistent forehead.
Moving at super sonic speeds would kill him, and stopping movement at supersonic speeds would also kill him?
How was he to survive such a mess!
He sighed and seriously contemplated on the events leading up to his death.
_The main issue is that my body is unable to handle movement at such high speeds..._
Xiao Shen thought to himself.
_Also, my body is unable to handle the impact of stopping movement at such a speed..._
Then his inexistent eyes brightened as an idea suddenly hit him.
Why am I trying to rely on myself to overcome this mess!
F*ck! If I can be gifted superhuman speed, why can't I just be gifted with body strength to match the speed, or, better still, with the means to stop?!
With this thought in mind, Xiao Shen once again reached out his inexistent hands to touch one of the illusory clocks.
Almost as soon as he opened his eyes, he looked towards the sky.
"Viewers, as you all can see, I am in a hot chase against a single leg, somehow!"
It was not that the beings watching his life as a f*cking livestream were up in the sky, but a subconscious action that was made by almost every human being when referring to something or someone whom they could neither see nor touch.
[Tricky Jiangshi!]
[To think a single leg can go so far!]
[You can do it, Anchor 👍]
[👍x2]
[👍x3]
[👍x4]
[👍x5]
[👍x6]
[👍x7]
He winced due to the pain of his bones reaching breaking point and forced a smile. "I definitely will! Please remember to lend me your strength!"
Compared to other 'rounds', Xiao Shen had definitely done much better than before.
After all, by this time, he was already minced meat or a splatter of blood!
Comments appeared in the bullet chats, including those cursed ones that had killed him multiple times now;
[So fast⚡!]
[Anchor is on fire! 🔥🔥🔥]
«[### has gifted x10 speed!]»
«[### has gifted x5 speed!]»
[Anchor is hardcore!]
[### has gifted x10 strength!]
[Fools, can't you all see that what he needs most is a means to strengthen himself?!]
[### has gifted body strengthening technique]
Xiao Shen had tears in his eyes as he saw the gift of a body strengthening technique.
Then, as soon as the 50x speed boost was activated, he leapt into the again while turning his body to the side.
Pew~
He flew through the air like a guided missile!
At this point, Xiao Shen curled himself into a ball and hugged his knees in a foetal position.
This was to reduce the impact of the fall on his body!
Bang!
He crashed to the ground, leaving behind a crater where he had landed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He bounced like a rubber ball due to the impact, making multiple craters where he landed. Finally, he dug a trench onto the ground as his body finally came to a stop after being dragged for almost five metres due to the inertia.
Xiao Shen felt like he had been battered with a thousand hammers all over his body. His entire existence was aching at this moment, but he still had a smile on his face nonetheless.
"Haha! I did it! I f*cking did it!" He yelled out in joy as he spread his arms and legs out on the ground.
Ha! Take that, death!
What, you thought you could take me before my time?
Naive!
This daddy is not going to die until he has a wife and three kids!
Similarly, the bullet chats exploded with comments:
[Anchor actually really did it!]
[Are you sure it's your first time moving at supersonic speeds, anchor??]
[How the f*ck did Anchor trace the Jiangshi to it's master?!]
"Eh?" Reading the first few comments made Xiao Shen jerk his head up and look around him.
There was a bald fellow looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Uh, ahem..." Xiao Shen stretched and stood up from the ground, looking around.
Flat square blocks had been thrown about, multiple craters littered the ground and a deep trench that dragged out for a few metres were the most prominent features of this place.
However, on looking properly, he saw that the 'craters' were not craters after all.
There was no way a crater could be rectangular!
Headstones... Rectangular hole...
F*ck! He was currently in a graveyard!
No, to be precise, he was currently in the ruins of what seemed to have been a graveyard once upon a time.
And that once upon a time was a very recent one...
He looked at the shocked bald man with widened eyes.
This fellow had a rotting corpse slung up over his shoulder.
Two words instantly came to Xiao Shen's mind.
Grave robber!
