the last gentleman

Chapter 1091: Insurmountable Concept

Yi Chen had to admit that there was nothing wrong with the manager's assessment of his abilities.

The level of strength reached by the NO.2 Hannibal Lecter in front of him has surpassed Yi Chen's "upper limit".

No matter how hard you try, no matter how deep you go into death, no matter how much killing energy you condense, you will never be stronger than the other party.

This is a truly strong person.
But it doesn’t mean there is no chance of winning.

After comprehensively analyzing the previous intelligence, the temporary killing of No. 7 to raise his own status to [120%], and the current intuitive combat experience,

Yi Chen managed to find a breakthrough point.

As long as we can break through this point, we will have a chance to fight on.

First, use the group of dead to break Hannibal's nearly invincible "field" in a one-on-one fight.

All of Hannibal's lethal abilities are targeted at "food ingredients", and his lethality to non-food ingredients will be greatly weakened.

Yi Chen happened to have a special and extremely strong non-food item on his body that could handle the current battle.

A unique chain that was accidentally produced by the "plantation" of the Monastery of Pain, using a fallen god as fertilizer. It has both the attributes of the sick and the divine, and was once able to oppress other chains in the plantation.

In terms of the quality and potential of the chains, they are comparable to the warden.

Later, it was acquired and integrated by Nash, and the characteristics of the parasite were also incorporated into it, allowing the chain to grow and shrink with Nash, and be perfectly parasitized and stored in the brain.

I wrapped the chain around my arms, and unexpectedly it actually blocked it.

Even though the entire arm was almost cut into pieces, the iron chain still held it together and it appeared behind him in an instant.

【cut】

This beheading embodies all of Yi Chen's strength as well as his growth and box office gains during his time in the City of Evil.

Endless killing energy gathered between the hand blades, as if the entire forearm had been transformed into a beheading guillotine.

The "field" that belonged to Yi Chen was also activated at this moment. The all-metal guillotine completely restrained Hannibal, and all the dead also focused their eyes on him, paying attention to the upcoming execution.

hum!
The huge impact caused by the slash spread across the sea.
Yi Chen himself also had obvious feedback from the attack, and saw the scene of being beheaded in his vision.

The actual situation completely stunned this top killer.

The "field" corresponding to the beheading platform completely disappeared.
Hannibal, with an apron tied around his waist, was still standing in the same place, pressing the back of his cervical vertebrae with one hand and turning his neck, as if he had strained his cervical vertebrae from bending down to cook for a long time. He was not beheaded at all.

only,
Hannibal put a cut and bleeding finger into his mouth and sucked it gently.

After disinfecting with saliva, he took out a Band-Aid from his pocket and slowly applied it.

With a cold and sharp gaze, he looked forward, at Yi Chen who had already distanced himself and temporarily stopped attacking.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to do this… Don’t be surprised, it’s very common for chefs to get injured while cooking.

However, being injured by food is not a serious matter.

Let’s get on with it.”

The reason why Yi Chen did not continue to pursue was because the situation just now was too strange, so that in his opinion there was no point in continuing to kill.

"I clearly completed the beheading, and the feedback from the beheading given by the 'field' was completely normal. My senses also captured the entire process of the beheading.

Why? The actual result was just a cut on a finger, not even the finger was cut off. 』

Yi Chen, who had gradually become accustomed to thinking due to William's long-term influence, combined with Hannibal's words just now, quickly came to a conclusion.

The "ingredient" label on him has never been torn off. Killing NO.7 in front of Hannibal before only improved the opponent's evaluation, and the label changed from "ordinary ingredient" to "strong ingredient".

As long as they are still classified as ingredients, they will always be inferior to chefs.

The ingredients will never cause fatal harm to the chef.
Even if it was a fatal injury from Yi Chen's perspective, to the chef, it was just an accidental scratch or puncture of the finger.

If we use a professional term to describe it, it would be [concept transfer].

Any damage caused by the ingredients to the chef will be transferred to simple finger injuries.

Even without the field effect of "Zhu", Hannibal is still unstoppable in the "one-on-one" level.

hum!
Hannibal swung his knife once again, and the concept of "cutting flesh" attacked Yi Chen who was completely stunned.

Because his arm had been chopped into pieces last time and his body was seriously injured in many places, Yi Chen, who was "cut into pieces" for the second time, was unable to complete the head-on blocking.

Shua~ (Body dismantling)
The body turned into tiny particles of flesh and fell into the sea, and the chains sank with it.

The extreme death once again recondensed Yi Chen, but the entire sea level also dropped by hundreds of meters... The recondensed Yi Chen was obviously much thinner, and there were still cut marks left by the flesh in many parts of his body.

Although death could allow Yi Chen to be reborn, the price was also very high.

At this rate, even this [Death Attribute] that has reached the level of the Hanged King can only be presented ten times at most, or even less.

By then, the entire Dead Sea will dry up due to the reshaping concept, and Yi Chen will die completely here, completely becoming a processed ingredient.

However, Yi Chen did not despair, and continued to move at the fastest speed, instantly approaching! Each strike exerted more than 120% of his strength, and each strike was fatal.

He struck Hannibal six times,
He was cut into pieces seven times,
The Dead Sea has dropped in depth by several thousand meters. Many seabed structures have emerged, and even the outline of the [Sunken Palace of the Dead] can be vaguely seen. It is about to dry up.

Of course, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for Yi Chen to decapitate himself.
Yi Chen used the entire Dead Sea and his last life as the price, but in return he only got six cuts on Hannibal's fingers.

Hannibal also knew that Yi Chen was more or less related to the lesion, so he sprayed disinfectant when treating the wound.

in front of you,

Yi Chen, who had once again consumed a large amount of the Dead Sea's reserves and condensed himself, looked like he was almost in his sixties with gray hair on his temples. His skinny body felt like he would collapse at any time.

Even Hannibal showed an unhappy expression. The ingredients he cherished were being degraded and their quality was greatly reduced.

"You are doing meaningless things. If you are just fighting to the last moment for the sake of some so-called glorious death, I am really disappointed.

Give up~ I will consider performing a 'painless dissection' on you."

Just when Hannibal showed sympathy for the food, the already elderly Yi Chen took action again, and his speed did not slow down at all.

"Ah~" Hannibal sighed helplessly. In his eyes, Yi Chen's meaningless efforts were simply a blasphemy to the food and there was no honor at all.

"Knowing that you will die, why do you keep moving on the chopping block? Is this the bad nature of all sentient beings?"

Hannibal couldn't help but recall the scene where he once "cut the flesh".

No matter how weak a person is, even when they are facing death and know that there is no possibility of survival, they will still struggle desperately.

As a chef, as a top predator, as a high-ranking being who had never suffered the threat of death, he could never understand this.

however,
Just as Hannibal was briefly distracted by Yi Chen's meaningless persistence and fell into deep thought, his sense of smell as a top predator detected a hint of unusual odor.

But when I wanted to stop it, I was already a step slower because of thinking.

【Beheading】

This time the beheading was a little different.

The elderly Yi Chen only set up the gallows and did not carry out the execution himself. He just pretended to make the beheading motion with his hands.

The actual beheading was done by an extra arm that grew out from between his ears, an arm that also exuded a murderous aura.

He was holding a black knife filled with the aura of death, with a chain wrapped around the handle.

This person will carry out the execution.

But this person is not marked as "ingredients", and his attack on Hannibal will no longer be constrained by ingredients.

Swish!
A large amount of blood gushed out from the back of his neck. Hannibal's eyes widened and bloodshot, and he gradually fell down from the kitchen counter...
