"Don't be fooled! His target is me, not Helian Lie!"
Gao Ye shrieked. His short and small body curled into a ball, rolling backwards in an extremely sorry state.
Hearing Gao Ye's shriek, several tall and strong Blue Team contestants immediately threw themselves forward without regard for their own safety!
Gao Ye had long since calculated that the Red Team could possibly carry out the "Decapitation Tactic". Thus, he had practiced the "Anti-Decapitation Tactic" from the very beginning.
In merely half a second, a solid human wall appeared in front of Gao Ye. Seven or eight ordinary swords and sabers danced vigorously, crisscrossing to form an unstoppable saber array!
Sure enough, Li Yao made a very strange abrupt stop and change directions in midair. It was as if he had fiercely stomped on a transparent wall of air. He abandoned Helian Lie and threw himself at Gao Ye.
Li Yao didn't seem to have anticipated that Gao Ye's reaction would be so fast. He suddenly crashed into the saber array!
Fortunately, the Blue Team contestants had yet to recover from the dizziness caused by the Flash Glyph Array. They couldn't see their target clearly. They only heard the clanging sounds of swords and sabers colliding. Li Yao let out a blood-curdling scream. He threw himself into the forest once more and disappeared.
He only left behind a single sentence, "You guys wait. I'll be back!"
Three seconds later, all of the Blue Team contestants recovered from their dizziness. Each and every one of them had ashen complexions. Sweat poured down like rain. They looked at each other in dismay and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
"What a terrifying guy. He actually tailed us without making a sound and infiltrated the command center. We actually didn't discover him!"
A patrol member said with lingering fear. He couldn't help but glance at the crisscrossing branches above his head. It was as if Li Yao was still hiding in some dark branch.
"However, he still wasn't Gao Ye's match. In the instant he threw out the Flash Glyph Array, we all believed that his target was Helian Lie. Only Gao Ye remained clear-headed, making him fall short of success. Gao Ye, you really are a born commander!"
Another male student said with heartfelt admiration.
Gao Ye's complexion was incomparably solemn as he said, "This is an extremely frightening enemy. He might not have my powerful computational ability, but he possesses a type of innate, beast-like keen intuition. He definitely knows the difference between himself and Helian Lie. Even if he launched a sneak attack, he might not be able to instantly kill Helian Lie!"
"What's more, although Helian Lie's combat strength is tyrannical, it isn't the key to determining victory or defeat. Even if he kills Helian Lie, he will be chopped out of the competition by our chaotic blades within a second. It's the same as perishing together with Helian Lie!"
"This is definitely not what he wants!"
"But I'm different. I walk the path of an admin-type cultivator. I'm good at calculation and analysis, but my combat ability is ordinary. It's very likely that I'll be killed by him in one move!"
"And once I withdraw from the competition, Team Blue will be in a state of disunity. There will definitely be a short period of chaos. If Team Red can seize this opportunity, they might really be able to turn the tables!"
"This guy has calculated this point. He deliberately used Helian Lie as a cover. On the surface, it looks like he has some personal grudge with Helian Lie, so he recklessly tailed after him to resolve it. In reality, his target has been me from the very beginning!"
"So much so that I suspect that when you first found him, he did it on purpose. He definitely discovered Helian Lie in the dark, so he took the initiative to reveal himself in order to find our command center!"
"Terrifying. This guy is really too terrifying. If it weren't for my computational ability being a level higher than his, and if I hadn't calculated his plan at the last moment, he might have succeeded!"
A fine layer of cold sweat seeped out of Gao Ye's forehead. The depths of his eyes revealed a radiance full of interest.
"However, he's still not your match, Gao Ye. You've seen through all of the layers of traps that he painstakingly laid down. He's already lost the initiative. Next, he's the prey, and we're the hunters!" A Team Blue contestant shouted excitedly.
Gao Ye laughed bitterly and said, "That's right. Today is indeed the case. However, my overall strength is still about the same as his. Today, I was just lucky. If it were another battlefield, he might really have succeeded in beheading me. Who knows?"
Helian Lie stood to the side in silence. His heart was filled with shame and anger. He felt extraordinary shame and humiliation!
As it turned out, Li Yao's target wasn't him from the very beginning!
Li Yao didn't care about him at all. He was only using him as a cover, as bait!
In this chess game, Li Yao and Gao Ye were the two opposing "chess players", and he was nothing more than a chess piece controlled by them!
Even if Li Yao couldn't compare to Gao Ye, he still surpassed this "chess piece" by far too much. If Gao Ye hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have been able to guess Li Yao's plot at all. Just now, he had foolishly assumed the tightest defensive posture!
The proud and arrogant Helian Lie felt as if he had been ruthlessly slapped by Li Yao. He was so angry that his eyes were scarlet red. He clenched his teeth tightly. He wished he could tear apart Li Yao's flesh bit by bit and eat it!
He gnashed his teeth. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Gao Ye, then what are we waiting for? Let's move quickly. We'll hunt down Li Yao!"
"Wait a minute!"
Gao Yue's face was full of confusion. She looked like she was racking her brains. She muttered, "Strange. Everything is within my calculations. I've also successfully blocked his attack. Why do I still feel uneasy in my heart? It's like I've overlooked something …. What is it?!"
Gao Ye's expression changed greatly. He pointed at a military backpack in the middle of everyone and screamed.
This military backpack was covered in mud. It was also smeared with moss and weeds. It had been carelessly tossed in the core area of the command center.
At first glance, it looked like a rock. No one had noticed when this backpack had appeared.
"How could there be a backpack? Whose is it?"
All of the Blue Team competitors were somewhat perplexed. They looked at each other in dismay. It seemed that none of them had carried such a backpack before.
In Gao Ye's eyes, the commonly seen backpack had become a terrifying demon's egg. It was as if some incomparably powerful existence was about to break out of its cocoon.
He suddenly recalled that the intelligence he had gathered mentioned that Li Yao had carried out an explosive device that was made up of over twenty crystal cells connected together when he was conducting an artifact transaction. It was said that its might was enormous and that it was capable of flattening an entire supply point!
"Run!"
Gao Ye's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle tip. He turned around and ran, but it was too late!
Five hundred meters away, in the dense forest.
Li Yao's back was against a large tree. It was as if he had become one with the tree trunk. Only a pair of thievish eyes blossomed with radiance.
He extended his ten fingers and broke them off one by one. "Ten … nine … eight … seven … six …"
"Who's there!"
Two Blue Team competitors suddenly drilled out from the dense forest. They hadn't expected that a Red Team competitor would appear so close to the Blue Team's command center. They couldn't help but be shocked.
Li Yao indifferently swept a glance over them. He didn't answer and continued to concentrate on the countdown. "Five … four …"
"This guy is strange. He seems to be that Li Yao we were talking about in the comms channel just now. Let's quickly put down our artifacts and use normal weapons. At the same time, notify the command center!"
The two Blue Team competitors were extremely vigilant. They maintained a distance of ten meters between themselves and Li Yao, not giving him the slightest chance to take advantage of them.
Li Yao continued to do as he pleased. He leisurely counted down. "Three … two … one!"
Following the word "one", a loud rumbling sound erupted from the forest five hundred meters behind Li Yao. It was a world-shaking explosion!
The entire forest began to sway. An enormous white mushroom cloud slowly rose into the air. Rolling heatwaves rapidly spread out. In the blink of an eye, they had reached a distance of five hundred meters!
The two Blue Team competitors' eyes were occupied by the mushroom cloud. Their hair was scorched by the heatwaves. The shockwaves mixed with tree branches and crushed rocks smashed into their bodies!
The two of them instantly became covered in dust and grime. They were dumbstruck, as if they were two clay statues.
A rustling sound came from the comms channel. There wasn't a single person in the command center who could still respond to their calls.
"W-What did you do to our command center?" The two Blue Team competitors began to tremble uncontrollably.
"My apologies. From this moment on, the Blue Team's command center no longer exists."
