The time limit for [Descent of the War Demon] was up. In the end, Feng Bujue did not take out his razor in front of the other players.
Therefore, the moment the skill lost its effect, he fell to the ground without anyone touching him. He lay sprawled out on the street, facing the sky and panting heavily.
"Ha …" He Yangxin saw this and sneered proudly, "Sure enough, just as I expected …"
As he said this, he stopped running away and turned around to stand about ten steps away from Brother Jue.
He Yangxin was really cautious this time. Even though he was 99% sure that Feng Bujue did fall to the ground due to exhaustion and was not acting, but … in order to guard against that one percent possibility, he still decided to stand at a safe distance and watch.
"Phew … What? I am already in this state and you still don't dare to come and kill me? "Feng Bujue calmed his breathing and raised his voice to ask.
His attitude now was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"Hmph … I am not in a hurry." He Yangxin was unmoved this time. He stood on the spot and replied, "I think … when it comes to killing you, there are people who are more anxious than me."
As he spoke, his sight and sword intent … had already extended to other places.
After a breath, Xu Huai Shang appeared on the street. Tired Dream and Teacher Zhao also came to the position opposite her.
And Feng Bujue … was lying in the middle of these two groups of people.
"Ladies first." After a few seconds, Tired Dream, who was carrying [Chong Lou] on his shoulder, pretended to be casual and spoke first, "Goddess Xu … After you."
"Everything is about first come, first served." Xu Huai Shang was not fooled, "You came before me, and there are two of you … I think, it is more appropriate for you to do it."
Both sides had bad intentions, and Xu Huai Shang's words had a hidden meaning. Anyway, both sides had the same idea. No one was willing to take the risk of being plotted against by Brother Jue.
At this point, the result of this "group battle" was relatively clear.
Currently, there were only four players left. One of them was Feng Bujue, who was lying on the ground, waiting for his death. He was basically negligible.
The other three were divided into two teams.
The first group was Xu Huai Shang. Xu Huai Shang's situation was not looking good. Her NPC helper, Fang Jin, was injured in the battle with Heyang Zhiyan. Xu Huai Shang could only rely on herself to fight.
As for the other team, it was the combination of Sleepy Dream and Old Master Yu. Even though Teacher Zhao's true strength was weaker, Tired Dream was still an expert on the same level as Xu Huai Shang. Even if the former was slightly inferior to the latter, the difference was not that great. Furthermore, Tired Dream's current state was also slightly healthier than Xu Huai Shang's. Overall, he and Old Bi's advantage was still quite obvious.
Right now, there were two reasons why the two teams were in a deadlock. First, they were worried that Feng Bujue might have some sort of counterattack. That was to be expected. After all, he was Feng Bujue … No matter how ragged the man looked, no matter how weak he was, he could not let his guard down, or else he might be killed by the man with his remaining Life Points, or else he might end up dying together with him.
Second, once Feng Bujue died, the two teams would have to make a strategic choice. This choice was very important, so for the time being, both sides were still hesitating.
To put it bluntly … both sides had not settled the score yet.
Feng Bujue, who was lying on the ground, had already settled the score for them …
Brother Jue only took a few seconds to figure it out. The two teams had three choices in total. The first was to ignore He Yang Shinji and fight head-on to determine the winner. This could be said to be a 50-50 strategy, and there were more variables, because in addition to He Yang Shinji, there were other Wulin people around. No one could say for sure whether or not someone would intervene in the process of fighting.
The second choice was to ignore the enemy players and ambush He Yang Shinji. Then, they would steal the sword dance and run away. This was not a smart strategy. Killing the boss, stealing the sword dance, running away … There was a high chance of failure in any of these steps. The only saving grace of this strategy was that it was a surprise attack. Using the fact that no one would expect you to do something like this, if you executed it as fast as you could, there was a chance of success.
The last and third choice was … to join He Yang Shinji before the enemy could and kill the enemy with the help of the boss.
Even though this strategy was very immoral, compared to the first two choices, it was the smartest. As long as the first step of this strategy was successful, then the next step would be very simple.
But the problem was … Would the first step, the matter of "relying on He Yang Shinji" be successful?
Both sides were not sure.
Xu Huai Shang had just killed He Yang Zhihiko a few minutes ago. Maybe He Yang Shinji didn't know about this yet. Maybe He Yang Shinji didn't care even if he knew, but … it was hard to say.
And Tired Dream was still here … Not long ago, he had fought with Oda Ai and Sasaki Akira in front of He Yang Shinji. To a certain extent, he had already made it clear that he was on the opposing side.
Maybe … He Yang Shinji wouldn't care about this this time, but it was still hard to say.
In summary, both sides were stuck in a stalemate where no one dared to act rashly.
"Why don't … I do it." No one would have thought that after a short stalemate, Teacher Xiao would be the first to make a move. "We can think about what happens next, but we have to kill Feng Bujue first … Who knows how long he will be in this state? What if he comes back to his senses and takes out another Zaku from his inventory? That's not a joke … "
What he said made a lot of sense, and his actions were also very efficient.
Before he finished, Teacher Xiao had already taken out a handgun from his inventory.
The gun was a normal gun, the kind that was commonly found in the early stages of the scenario.
Even if a professional player needed a ranged weapon, they wouldn't bring something like this with no special attributes. But Teacher Xiao … was not a professional player, he was just a casual civilian player, so he brought it with him …
Who would have thought that a civilian handgun would become Brother Jue's death knell at that moment?
"This Teacher Xiao … is as unpredictable as the rumors say …" When Xu Huai Shang saw Teacher Xiao take out the gun, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Even under such circumstances, he still managed to make a calm and accurate decision and take action immediately … On the surface, it looks like he's going easy on me, but in reality, the initiative is still in his hands …"
At the same time, Feng Bujue, who couldn't move, also grumbled internally, "Hey, hey … No way, if we drag this out any longer, 'that little guy' will be here soon. If we die from a normal shot now, it'll be such a waste!"
Bang!
Before Brother Jue could make up his mind, the gunshot came from the other side.
However, this shot failed to finish off Feng Bujue's Life Points, which only had two percent of his Life Points left.
Because … Teacher Xiao had missed.
The bullet brushed past Brother Jue's head and hit the ground not far away from his head.
"What's going on?" At that second, Xu Huai Shang was first shocked, but then a thought came to her. "Wait a minute … Is he … testing?" She soon came to a conclusion. "So that's how it is … I get it now! If Feng Bujue still has a skill like 'Reflect' or 'Damage Transfer', then when this shot was fired … he would have activated the skill the moment the bullet left his mouth. Teacher Xiao saw this and pretended to shoot Feng Bujue, but in reality, he purposely missed his target. What if Feng Bujue really has something up his sleeve and he used the cost of a normal bullet to trick him into using it … "
With this thought in mind, Xu Huai Shang broke out in cold sweat. "Teacher Xiao … is such a scary man … even at a time like this, he still has the luxury to do something like this." Then she turned to look at Brother Jue with pity. "No matter what, after Teacher Xiao's verification, it is clear that Feng Bujue is powerless … Looks like the next shot will take his life."
She had a point, but in reality, it was not that complicated.
Teacher Xiao … he simply missed. As for the reason … it was because his marksmanship mastery was still very low.
After missing the first shot, Teacher Xiao tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face. He aimed for a while and prepared to fire a second shot.
But at that moment, a shadow leaped out from the alley, picked up Brother Jue and ran.
It was none other than one of Wang Qiong's bodyguards, Cheng Yong.
This Brother Jue was supposed to return to Linlu Town earlier than Feng Bujue, but halfway through, Brother Jue overtook him with his mecha … But Cheng Yong was not slow either. When Ruo Yu and Childe Jian were fighting, Cheng Yong had also returned to the town. Soon, he met up with Wang Qiong, Cheng Wei, Feng Meiyu, and He Yang Jingzi.
Due to being abandoned by her godfather, He Yang Jingzi, who was originally "held hostage" by Cheng Wei, had already given up on resisting. She had already lost her belief and motivation in life. To her, there was no point in running away. Even if she ran away, there was nowhere else to go. She would not help He Yang Shinji kill people anymore. If possible, she wanted to kill He Yang Shinji.
Feng Meiyu, on the other hand, had temporarily joined forces with Wang Qiong and the others. After all, they had the same goal. It was better to work together than to fight alone.
After the attack of the positron cannon, these people had been hiding at the side, watching a terrifying battle that they had no chance to interfere in. It was only when Teacher Chi fired that Wang Qiong decisively ordered Cheng Yong and the others to go save Feng Bujue.
"Where did this bastard come from …" He Yang Shinji was the first person present to react to Cheng Yong's actions. "I was just watching a good show … why did you come and mess things up!"
In terms of speed, he was faster than anyone present.
As he spoke, He Yang Shinji had already leaped up from the ground. He closed in on Cheng Yong from mid-air and slashed out with his sword!
It had to be said … that Teacher Chi's shot just now was indeed very meaningful. Although he did not do it on purpose … he really did test the fact that Feng Bujue was "powerless to resist".
All of this … He Yang Shinji saw it all. Therefore, he was very assured that he would rush up to finish off both his Brother Jue and Cheng Yong.
"Godly Ultimate Sword Style …" Just as He Yang Shinji was about to make his move …
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard …
"Overflowing Water Flows to the East!" Feng Meiyu's figure suddenly appeared. She used a kind of mixed but powerful internal energy to attack He Yang Shinji from afar with a vigorous palm wind.
Although He Yang Shinji was powerful, facing this invisible long-range attack, he could only choose to dodge or block it.
To him, both choices were fine, and both were very easy. However … no matter which option he chose, his pursuit would be delayed.
Feng Meiyu was not stupid. She had seen how He Yang Shinji changed his falling trajectory with the "Feint Step" when he fell from a high altitude. Therefore, she deliberately chose an awkward angle and timing to attack, blocking the possibility that He Yang Shinji could continue to pursue.
"Tsk …" In the end, He Yang Shinji fell back to the ground somewhat gloomily. After all, he was a rational person. He would not get himself injured just to chase after others.
Of course, he would not let Feng Meiyu, who had repeatedly gone against him, off lightly.
"Damn it … You fat pig … I wanted to chop you up just now …" At this time, He Yang Shinji recalled Feng Meiyu's words from before. He could not help but feel anger rising in his heart. "I gave you a chance … but you actually didn't run away. You actually dared to appear in front of me again … You're in my way …"
After saying this, he had already rushed in front of Feng Meiyu. His blunt sword was ready to strike.
He Yang Shinji's speed on the ground was completely different from his speed in the air. Feng Meiyu could not even see his charge and slash clearly, let alone dodge it.
Just as the sword was about to strike, who would have thought …
"What!" In that second, He Yang Shinji's expression suddenly changed.
On his face, there was a look of horror that bordered on horror.
In his panic, he abruptly withdrew his attack and retreated several steps until he reached a wall on the side of the street. Then, he looked around with a very alert and panicked expression.
Everyone who saw this scene was puzzled by He Yang Shinji's sudden action.
However, Feng Bujue was not puzzled. He knew what was going on …
"Hehe …" Brother Jue, who was carried on Cheng Yong's shoulder, laughed out loud. He shouted at He Yang Shinji, "The scene of the entire world being shrouded in 'death' should be quite scary."
He was absolutely right … At this moment, the world in He Yang Shinji's eyes was completely covered with a layer of strange color. It was a color that only he could see … The color of 'death'.
Naturally, it was not the first time He Yang Shinji had seen this kind of 'death domain'. However, the 'death' he saw before would only appear in 'certain areas' in his line of sight. For example … on the edge of an enemy's blade, on the ground where traps were buried, in a room where ambushes were set up, etc. Moreover, these 'death domain' could not be seen all the time. When there was no threat of death nearby, he would not be able to see these strange things.
However, at this moment, He Yang Shinji was like he had cataracts. The entire world he saw was in the 'death domain'. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run …
Clop clop … clop clop …
Not long after, a slow sound of horse hooves attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a white horse. Beside the white horse, there was a woman.
This was a woman that was unforgettable at first sight.
She was wearing a red dress, and on top of the red dress was a red robe.
She had the face and body of a young girl, but her hair … was already white.
Her snow-white hair was like silk and water. It was draped behind her back and hung down to her waist.
Naturally, she was a very beautiful woman.
Many years ago, her beauty was enough to take people's breath away. It was enough to make people yearn for her in their dreams.
Today, although her appearance did not change much, but … her temperament was completely different from before.
Back then, she was like a beautiful red rose in the valley. Now, she was like a lonely snow lotus on a precipice.
"King of Hell …" The moment she saw Lin Yan, Xu Huai Shang was stunned. She muttered these two words from her mouth.
Tired Dream and Teacher Chi also recognized this person because the "Underworld Frontline VS Red Cherry" match was broadcasted to the public. They had also seen the recording. Therefore, they knew … this person was the boss of the "Heart Burial Valley Scenario". As for her strength … they also had a rough idea.
"I didn't expect to meet two old friends here." Lin Yan held onto the reins of her white horse and slowly walked down the street. The corpses, wreckage, and the destroyed ground around her didn't surprise her at all. "If I remember correctly … this is Miss Xu." She walked in front of Xu Huai Shang and greeted her.
Xu Huai Shang was a bit flustered. She just nodded and said, "Yes."
Although in the scenario, Xu Huai Shang had joined Lin Yan's side from the beginning, but the two did not talk much. There was nothing to talk about.
"That warrior over there." After Lin Yan greeted Xu Huai Shang, she continued to lead the horse forward. She walked towards Cheng Yong who was carrying Feng Bujue. "Can you put Master Feng down? I want to have a word with him."
Lin Yan was very calm. She didn't seem to be surprised that she met these two players again after so many years.
"Wait!" Just as Lin Yan passed by He Yang Shinji, the latter suddenly asked, "Who are you? I have never heard of a character called "King of Hell" in the Central Plains. "
When he heard Xu Huai Shang say the two words "King of Hell", he thought it was Lin Yan's nickname in Jianghu. That was why he asked.
Of course … in a way, his deduction was not wrong.
"And who are you?" Lin Yan stopped but she did not turn around to look at He Yang Shinji. She only looked ahead and said coldly, "I don't know you, why are you talking to me?"
When she said this, her tone was very interesting. It was as if she was an innocent child who was angry and asked a question.
In her words, there was no pretense of an adult, no pretense of a Jianghu person, and no arrogance of a master. There was only the most basic expression of emotion and meaning.
"Who am I? Humph … "He Yangxin was still afraid this time. He didn't know what he was afraid of. In short, he had instinctively turned this fear into anger, and then he had the intention to intimidate the other party." I am the leader of the Godly Sword Sect! I have never lost a battle in Dongying … I am He Yang Shinji, the God of Swords! "
Hearing this, Lin Yan whispered, "God of Swords?" As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at He Yang from head to toe. Then, she asked a very cruel question with an adorable look on her face, "You?"
