The two scenes in his mind only lasted for ten seconds, but Shi Xiaobai had already confirmed that Ye Sheng, who had been chosen as the fugitive this round, was running in his direction. According to his speed, he would arrive in less than a minute.
Shi Xiaobai immediately jumped onto a tree beside him and looked in Ye Sheng's direction.
He was probably in the middle of a mountain range, but the vegetation was sparse. The trees were not dense, so his field of vision was abnormally wide.
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and immediately discovered figures appearing on the horizon. The nearby trial-takers were rushing over in a bid to intercept Ye Sheng.
A few seconds later, a freckled youth was fleeing in panic from the end of the horizon in front of him. Behind him were seven or eight trial-takers in pursuit. From time to time, someone would shoot Psionic Arrows at Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng could only dodge in a sorry state as he ran for his life.
On a careful look, one could see that Ye Sheng's shoulder was covered in a layer of white crystals. Clearly, he had used Psionic Power to block the Death Epaulette.
Ye Sheng was fleeing blindly, unaware that there were people surging towards him from every direction. They had completely surrounded him, so no matter which direction he ran in, he would encounter pursuers.
How difficult would it be to last ten minutes against the combined efforts of a hundred or two hundred trial-takers?
Of course, it was clearly not easy to be the only person to clear the round among a hundred or two hundred people.
Shi Xiaobai did not wait any longer. He obviously would not give up such a benefit that came knocking on his door.
Shi Xiaobai leaped down from the tree and used Crab Steps to run towards Ye Sheng at an extremely fast speed.
The ground under his feet was muddy and soft. Every step he took left a deep footprint. The clamor of the forest was already rising and falling in succession. The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly. In front of him, Ye Sheng had appeared!
Ye Sheng clearly saw Shi Xiaobai approaching him. Immediately, he exclaimed as though he had seen a ghost.
"Tu Dahei!"
Ye Sheng's face turned paler as he hurriedly made a sharp turn. He changed direction and fled to the right. Clearly, he knew that it was impossible for him to break through Tu Dahei head on!
"Where do you think you're going!?"
Shi Xiaobai laughed loudly and chased after him at an extremely fast speed. The distance between the two was instantly closed.
Ye Sheng turned his head to take a look, and his eyes were filled with shock. Damn, how could this speed be so exaggerated?
In just a few seconds, the distance between Shi Xiaobai and Ye Sheng was less than five meters. In the next moment, Shi Xiaobai had already stretched out his left arm. The sword in his left hand was constantly changing colors of black and white. It looked extremely strange, but Ye Sheng did not doubt that the sword could instantly sever his arm.
Although the Life Emblem was used to replace the word "life" in this battle, the Life Emblem was only the size of a coin. Furthermore, it was only attached to one's shoulder. Very few trial-takers would show mercy in the pursuit of speed during the battle.
Ye Sheng had seen with his own eyes several times that the fugitives had defended their badges to the death, only to have their shoulders cut off, shot through, blown up, and other tragedies.
On the surface, this "life and death" battle did not involve life and death, but in reality, it was extremely cruel.
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from afar!
Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows pricked up as he slashed out five meters away from Ye Sheng!
A transparent sword beam shot towards Ye Sheng's shoulder!
"Ah!"
Ye Sheng screamed as he fell to the ground in fright. He saw two bullet casings that had been sliced in half fall from above, landing on his shoulder.
The bullet casings emitted hot air as the smell of gunpowder emanated.
At the next moment, dense gunshots that sounded like a torrential downpour suddenly resounded.
"Peng Peng Peng …"
This series of gunshots was not the continuous gunshots of a machine gun. Instead, it was the terrifying sound of hundreds or thousands of firearms firing at the same time.
Ye Sheng hurriedly turned his head to take a look and nearly peed his pants from fright. He saw a dense barrage of bullets shooting at him at an extremely fast speed!
The bullets were like a dark cloud that blotted out the sky. Their speed was so fast that it was difficult to discern them with the naked eye. Ye Sheng was momentarily unable to react as his eyes glazed over. A look of despair surged in his eyes.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him as though it had teleported!
A black and white sword slashed out at the bullets that filled the sky!
As the sword slashed down, a strong wind howled!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! "The violent sword wind dispersed the dense barrage of bullets as bullet casings that had been sliced into pieces fell from the sky.
"Peng! Peng!
Peng! "The bullets that had been blown into two landed on the soft ground on both sides of the road, creating potholes. The land was instantly filled with devastation.
Ye Sheng curled up his body as he stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure that had sliced through the barrage of bullets with a single strike had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
It was Tu Dahei!
Tu Dahei had saved him!
At this moment, the seven or eight rookies that had been chasing him had surrounded him from the back. Figures began to appear from the ends of his vision in other directions!
Ye Sheng finally realized that he had been surrounded!
There were pursuers on all sides, and there was the possibility of another barrage of bullets descending upon him. He was in a hopeless situation.
Ye Sheng recalled the final tragic state of the escapees. His lips turned pale as they began to convulse.
"Last for ten minutes? That's impossible … "
With this thought in mind, Ye Sheng's eyes flashed with a resolute look. He suddenly looked up and shouted, "You bunch of lunatics, you want to destroy my badge? Dream on! I'd rather be eliminated than give it to you! "
Ye Sheng seemed to have gone mad as his voice sounded somewhat hysterical.
When the rookies that had surrounded him heard this, someone realized something and shouted, "No!"
However, no one could stop the terrified Ye Sheng. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Open Sesame!"
These four words were the exit command!
Shi Xiaobai turned his head in surprise and saw Ye Sheng transform into a golden beam of light that shot into the sky, disappearing from the trial.
At the same time, an authoritative voice resounded throughout the world.
"The escapee has been eliminated from the trial. This round of Life and Death Assault is invalid. The next round of Life and Death Assault will begin in seven minutes."
The rookies that had been chasing after him came to a halt. They looked at each other and began to grumble.
"Sigh, another coward that used the exit command!"
"This won't do. If every escapee uses the exit command at the last moment, how can we clear the level before the Level Lord descends?"
"We can only catch them off guard and sneak up on them before they can react, destroying their Death Epaulette. However, that's just too difficult."
"The main reason is that the first few escapees were too tragic. All of them put up a stubborn resistance and ended up being seriously injured. There was even one who died tragically. Hence, the escapees that have been chosen have to exit the trial the moment they are surrounded. If it were us, we would do the same. The scene is just too bloody. If we aren't careful, we might lose a shoulder. In short, it's not easy for the pursuers to clear the level."
"Sigh, it's not easy for the pursuers to clear the level, but it's even more difficult for the escapees. With so many people chasing after him, it's just too difficult to last ten minutes!"
"…"
The rookies that had been chasing after him began discussing before they left. They waited for the next round to begin in seven minutes.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment before he suddenly turned around and ran in the direction of the hail of bullets.
Clearly, he had missed a chance to clear the level that was so close at hand.
However, Shi Xiaobai did not regret it. At that moment, he could indeed choose to shatter the Death Epaulette on Ye Sheng's shoulder, but Ye Sheng would very likely be riddled with holes from the hail of bullets.
Shi Xiaobai naturally could not do such a bastard thing that would disregard his life for the sake of clearing the level. Hence, he immediately rushed in front of Ye Sheng and slashed out the Kun Peng Sword Technique's Sword of Wind at the hail of bullets.
However, Shi Xiaobai was somewhat infuriated. The fellow that shot the hail of bullets had ignored Ye Sheng's life in order to clear the level. Such a vicious method infuriated Shi Xiaobai, and most importantly, Shi Xiaobai could not tolerate the fact that something that was right in his grasp had flown away!
Shi Xiaobai was extremely fast and soon, he passed through the woods in front of him. A figure entered his vision.
It was a tall and thin short-haired youth dressed in black clothes. His hands were in his pockets and his eyes were cold. His expression looked rather angry.
Shi Xiaobai stopped and frowned slightly. "It's you?"
Shi Xiaobai's nose twitched slightly as he caught a whiff of the faint smell of gunpowder that was about to dissipate. Immediately, his eyes widened as he stared angrily at the short-haired youth. He said coldly, "It's you!"
Shi Xiaobai never expected that the bastard that had spoiled his plans would dare stand in his spot and wait.
The short-haired youth's eyes narrowed slightly. His tiny single eyelid narrowed into a slit. His expression looked rather cold as he said with a cold tone, "How do you want to die?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai immediately laughed. Yo, this bastard sure is arrogant!
Shi Xiaobai slowly raised the black and white sword. Although he had used Excalibur not long ago, and had only recovered a tiny bit of his psionic power, it was enough to beat the bastard in front of him.
Shi Xiaobai was not someone who was often angry, but the bastard in front of him had really infuriated him.
At this moment, rings of yellow light suddenly lit up one after another, and one after another, guns of various shapes and sizes extended out from the yellow light.
The densely packed firearms blanketed the sky as they were distributed around Shi Xiaobai, as well as above his head. They surrounded Shi Xiaobai.
"How do you want to die?"
The short-haired youth still had his hands in his pockets. His head was slightly raised and his eyes were leering. He looked insufferably arrogant.
It was the same sentence, but the horror was completely different. The first sentence, "how do you want to die", seemed like a threat, but with the densely packed firearms appearing out of thin air, the sentence was more like a declaration of death.
If it were any ordinary person, they would probably wet their pants in fear when faced with the overwhelming number of firearms. They would quickly shout the exit command.
However, the person the short-haired youth was talking to was Shi Xiaobai, and the person the firearms were pointing at was Shi Xiaobai. It was the Shi Xiaobai who remained unperturbed despite facing the skeleton army that filled the mountains, the bat riders that blotted out the sky, and the demonic beast army that filled the city!
"This King loves to teach those foolish mortals who think they are better than others a lesson."
Shi Xiaobai said coldly as he took a step forward.
At this moment, the overwhelming number of firearms all automatically pulled their triggers!
