Among the three of them, Ni Lan's expression was the most serious. Anyone with a brain could tell that the dwarf old man's murderous intent was completely focused on her.
After all, compared to ordinary people, the listeners were naturally more powerful. Although the integration of more than a thousand souls was still a force to be reckoned with, the individual strength of the listeners was obviously much stronger.
However, all this was useless now. After the integration, their hatred would condense into a rope. Three of them were targeted at Su Bai, accounting for 0.3%. Four of them were targeted at Xu Dong, accounting for 0.4%. However, the remaining 99% were targeted at Ni Lan, the culprit behind the tragedy on the cruise ship.
Therefore, when the dwarf old man opened his hands, Xu Dong and Su Bai subconsciously distanced themselves from Ni Lan. It was not that they did not want to save her, but they all knew in their hearts that they would be the next to die if they watched the fire from the other side. Even if Ni Lan became the primary target, it still could not change the nature of the three of them being "united against a common enemy". This was actually a posture of advancing and retreating together.
Countless spider webs appeared in the dwarf old man's palm in an instant. These spider webs spread out from his palm in an explosive manner, but their final target was still Ni Lan.
Ni Lan did not ask for help from Su Bai and Xu Dong. She did not think that the two of them would be so foolish as to watch the show from the sidelines. As the main target, Ni Lan was indeed under a lot of pressure. This was because the dwarf old man's aura had actually made her instinctively feel fear.
This was a form of oppression that proved that the dwarf old man had pulled a huge gap between them in terms of the absolute level of life!
Ni Lan opened her red lips and spat out a blood-red bead. The bead emitted a dazzling light. Ni Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. She clenched her fist and the bead shattered. The pink bubbles spread to her entire body and were quickly absorbed by her. Immediately after, she drew her bow and shot three arrows at the same time.
It was like three meteors whizzing through the air with an indomitable momentum. Ni Lan's target was not the spider webs that were approaching her, but the dwarf old man!
It was equivalent to her opening the door. Once the spider webs approached her, she would be instantly minced into countless pieces and killed immediately!
Xu Dong growled in a low voice. The only thing left on him, the saber, immediately let out a trembling hum. His figure appeared in front of Ni Lan, and the saber danced in the air. The spider webs that were rushing towards Ni Lan from all directions were automatically pulled over by Xu Dong, and wrapped around his saber one by one.
However, every spider web carried a terrifying force. As the spider webs became denser and denser on the saber, Xu Dong began to feel that he was losing his strength. At this moment, it was already his limit to barely hold the saber in his hands, let alone brandishing it.
Su Bai's figure appeared behind Xu Dong. He extended his hands and two Hellfire shotguns appeared in his hands. He then fired continuously.
Golden bullets shot out from the Hellfire shotguns and the spider webs began to break one after another. When half of the spider webs were broken, the pressure on Xu Dong's body was greatly reduced. He immediately turned around and cut his index finger with his right thumb nail. Then, he smeared the blood that flowed out of his index finger onto the saber. The saber was immediately covered in a layer of flames. As Xu Dong brandished the saber with all his might, the remaining spider webs on the saber were all broken in an instant.
The two of them worked together and finally dispelled the attack of the spider webs. However, neither Su Bai nor Xu Dong's expressions relaxed. This was because the three arrows that Ni Lan had shot out at the expense of using the bead to increase her strength were immediately torn apart when they were about to touch the dwarf elder. The energy waves also poured out in all directions and exploded everywhere. However, the dwarf elder was not harmed at all.
The dwarf elder's eyes darkened. He extended his left hand and the flames in his pupils almost materialized. He pointed his left index finger at Ni Lan and floated over in an extremely strange manner.
His speed was not very fast, but Su Bai realized that his divine sense could not capture him at all. At the same time, countless dwarf elders appeared in his field of vision. At this moment, whether it was his eyes or his divine sense, he could not believe that they were all deceiving him.
Xu Dong subconsciously began to retreat. It was an instinctive fear and a desire to avoid harm. The enemy was clearly closing in on you, but you could not even lock onto the enemy. If you did not retreat now, were you going to fight him head-on?
At the end of the day, this was because the dwarf elder's target had always been Ni Lan. Although Su Bai and Xu Dong would not watch from the sidelines, they would not go so far as to take the brunt of any harm. It was better to let Ni Lan experience the unknown and uncertain danger herself first. After all, both Su Bai and Xu Dong were rather indignant that Ni Lan had destroyed a cruise ship and killed thousands of people.
Both of them had violated the rules by killing people, while Ni Lan had killed ordinary people. It was the same logic as how murderers in prison looked down on rapists, even though they were not good people.
Ni Lan had also noticed that Su Bai and Xu Dong had taken the initiative to retreat. The two of them had purposely placed her in front of them, giving the dwarf elder the opportunity to pinpoint her position. Ni Lan was not in a hurry to curse at them. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that the effect of her red bead had not subsided to draw out her bayonet and charge forward.
This was in line with Ni Lan's style. Previously, when they encountered each other, she had also recklessly clashed head-on with him. This woman was truly hot-tempered.
When Ni Lan took the initiative to charge forward, Su Bai and Xu Dong immediately took over from the side. With Ni Lan taking the initiative to step on the landmine, the two of them would undoubtedly have a much easier time.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound rang out. The tip of Ni Lan's bayonet had just touched the tip of the dwarf elder's left index finger.
The dwarf elder's body trembled, while the bayonet in Ni Lan's hand broke. She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
The dwarf elder's murderous intent did not diminish. As long as he did not kill Ni Lan, there seemed to be no one else in his eyes.
Of course, more than ninety-nine percent of the anger of a thousand people was focused on Ni Lan. Everything else could be temporarily ignored. Even his own rationality could be ignored.
Xu Dong raised his saber horizontally, intending to stop the dwarf elder and buy Ni Lan some time to catch her breath. However, the spider silken elder had directly used his chest to block the saber. Xu Dong's palm immediately hurt, because a person who used a saber was used to being one with the saber. When the saber slashed down, all the minute movements of the person's body would change and serve the saber.
Therefore, when the saber was knocked away in the most brutal way possible, Xu Dong was sent flying as well. This time, it was not an act or a deliberate retreat, because Xu Dong's entire body was in so much pain that he was almost paralyzed. He was not wearing any clothes, so the veins on his skin could be seen to be protruding. Some of his muscle tissues had even been severely strained, with extravasated blood seeping out.
Blood lines rose on Su Bai's body. With Xu Dong's example, he immediately switched to his zombie form. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the dwarf elder's shoulder from the side. His sharp nails pierced right into the old man's body.
It was as if he was using himself as a chain, locking the old man in place.
The dwarf elder wanted to imitate Xu Dong's actions and charged forward. Xu Dong had left a saber wound about the width of two palms on his chest earlier. Although it was not a serious injury, it proved that the old man was not an invincible vajra. The dwarf elder and the others could still hurt him. Meanwhile, Su Bai's nails had pierced into the flesh of the old man's shoulder, injecting the corpse poison into it.
However, in the next moment, as the dwarf elder charged forward, a huge force came pressing down from Su Bai's fingers, palm, arm, and finally his entire body. Even though he was in zombie form and had blood lines activated, Su Bai's body swayed a little at that moment.
"Roar!"
A low roar similar to that of a beast came from Su Bai's throat. His back heel had been lifted off the ground just now, but at this time, he forced it back.
The dwarf old man's momentum did not succeed, and he seemed to be stunned for a moment. He then turned his head and glanced at Su Bai. Immediately afterward, he clenched his other hand into a fist and smashed it directly at him.
Su Bai had one hand on the dwarf elder's shoulder, so he could only use his other arm to block in front of him.
Bang!
The fists collided.
This time, Su Bai could not take it anymore. He was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground. All five of his nails were broken, and the broken nails were embedded in the dwarf elder's shoulder.
The dwarf elder did not even look at Su Bai and Xu Dong, who had yet to recover, and continued to charge at Ni Lan.
Fortunately, with Su Bai and Xu Dong's interference, Ni Lan had gained some time to catch her breath. This time, she did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, she began to move and retreat.
Su Bai and Xu Dong, who were lying on the ground, exchanged glances. Both of them were now aware of the dwarf elder's terrifying strength, and were even more aware that they could not let the dwarf elder kill Ni Lan first. Otherwise, once Ni Lan died, the dwarf elder, who was filled with hatred, would regain his senses. He was currently in a state of madness and vengeance. As his hatred for Ni Lan was too high, he ignored Su Bai and Xu Dong's attempts to obstruct and kill him. Once he regained his senses, Su Bai and Xu Dong would have no chance at all.
Inside a glass window on the top floor of a distant building.
A person was holding a glass of champagne. He did not drink it, but stared blankly at the scene below.
"Is he going to die?"
When the other person heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Him? It's them, right? Hehe, it looks like they're all going to die this time. Otherwise, what if the next broadcast randomly picks three of us to fight them?
Tsk tsk, I'm so scared that I can't take it anymore. The three from before have already proven that even if our strength and magic weapons have been upgraded, we're still no match for those true veterans. We'll definitely be slaughtered. "
