Chapter 114: Awakening in a Death Battle (2/2)

Ma Zi Ye glanced over at them: “You people are really naive, trying to speak logic at this point in time?” Her right leg was ready and even though the opponent was frightening, if her Web of Metal was able to trap them all at once, they would certainly have a shot at winning.

Su Ge whose body was covered in tattoos said in a cold voice: “She has to stay.” as he pointed towards Zhou Bi Rong.

Anger could be seen on Zhou Bi Rong’s face but she did not speak, at times like this it was better to keep calm.

Qin Jia Gui’s back was covered in cold sweat as his mind churned to compare the strengths of the two groups. The other party were tier two at the very least and Chu Xiang was even at tier three, as for their group only Zhao Shi Chang and Ma Zi Ye were at tier two. What was most frightening was that the other party also cooperated superbly while Ma Zi Ye and Zhao Shi Chang had only recently entered the second tier, in comparison, they simply did not have much of a shot at victory.

“Alright, we’ll leave the food!” Suddenly, Qin Jia Gui grit his teeth as he exclaimed.

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

If they engaged with the other party, it was likely a death sentence. In that case, giving up the food and preserving their lives was more important. Once Su Yu woke up, they would have sufficient strength to attempt to get back their losses, it was more important to not engage in conflict and preserve their lives.

“Qin Jia Gui, are you mad?” Li Dong grasped the big bag by his side tightly as he shouted at Qin Jia Gui in a hoarse voice.

Qin Jia Gui sternly said: “Leave all the food behind, did you all forget that everyone is still waiting for us to return back at the school? Let’s hurry back first, the problem with food can be solved at a later date.”

Li Dong wanted to protest but Lei Rui suddenly spoke up: “That’s right, everyone leave the food behind, let’s head back first.”

Looking at the scene unfold before her, Chu Xiang suddenly laughed as she gently clapped: “So this is what it is to endure humiliation in view of the greater picture? It’s really hard to see, haha, such talent.’ as she measured Qin Jia Gui with a mysterious expression.

Hearing her words, Qin Jia Gui realised that the situation was getting out of hand, it seemed like the other party had hardened their hearts and did not wish to leave behind any possible threats.

Wang Quan Feng adjusted his glasses as he suddenly spoke: “Boss, I actually have a suggestion.”

“Oh? Four eyes, what good idea have you come up with?” Chu Xiang smiled.

Wang Quan Feng continued: “Although our group of five is indeed quite decent, I feel that we can still expand a little, there’s so much food and the five of us will surely be unable to carry it all.”

Lu Wei nodded: “Your words are true, so what’s the plan?”

Wang Quan Feng stared at Qin Jia Gui and the others: “I believe we can accept three people, amongst you, who is willing?”

Qin Jia Gui and the others exchanged glances, a strange smile appeared on Wang Quan Feng’s mouth: “We only require elites because we are a small group of elites. If you wish to join us, you have to prove that you are the best within your group and kill the others. The last three survivors will be our future teammates.”

As his words were spoken, Qin Jia Gui and the others felt their hearts palpitate as they retreated a step away from each other. In an instant, each person could only fend for themselves, Wang Quan Feng’s words had incited unrest and no one within the group felt they could trust another person.

Wang Quan Feng continued: “This is your only method for survival, otherwise, we are also willing to personally act and kill everyone. We require our teammates to be elites, wastrels do not have the right to continue living within this forest and wasting resources.”

The single-armed Li Feng Xuan suddenly spoke: “This is too troublesome, even leaving one of them alive would be a bother on our minds, I feel we should kill all of them.”

Su Ge interrupted: “No can do, that female cop cannot die, I want her, the rest can die.”

Lu Wei sighed as he looked at the Qin Jia Gui and the few others: “Actually, there’s so much food and the few of us will simply be unable to carry it all. We were planning to be comrades for two more days, in that way there would be free help in helping us carry the food. However, you people actually wanted to shirk us off……. Since you carry such intentions, you are a threat to us. We will definitely not allow you to leave alive tonight, otherwise, you may come back in future to take revenge when you’re stronger. Haha, four eyes, you’re really too evil. What’s this talk about leaving three alive? The way I see it, you’re planning to kill them all in the end right? Actually, faced with such a bunch of useless people, why bother using such methods? Let’s just kill them all. Boss, it’s your call!”

Wang Quan Feng adjusted his glasses as he smiled: “It seems like lunkhead isn’t all brawn, he’s got some brains on him after all.”

Chu Xiang’s gaze flickered as Qin Jia Gui suddenly kicked causing a large bag of food to immediately fly in the air, heavily smashing towards Lu Wei who was before him as he shouted: “Ma Zi Ye!”

Ma Zi Ye understood him and immediately stomped her right leg as she activated the Web of Metal.

The other party were very clear in their attitudes and would not allow them to live. In that case, they could only fight.

Earlier, Qin Jia Gui had continually acquiesced and pleaded as though he did not have any backbone, however, now that he had steeled his heart, he was fierce like a lion as he first kicked the bag of food towards Lu Wei before yelling at Ma Zi Ye to act, thereafter, his right arm swiftly transformed into metal as he used the Demolishing Iron Fist to smash towards Lu Wei’s face, all this occurred at lightning speed.

Ma Zi Ye had already advanced to tier two and the Web of Metal could be instantly activated as streaks of rope expanded outwards. Zhao Shi Chang was only slightly slower than them as he shouted, his right hand sweeping as his arm transformed and a bone blade appeared, he was also tier two and was not fearful of the other party.

Zhang Zhong Mou, Li Dong, Zhou Bi Rong and the others began to act, everyone knew that pleading for mercy was impossible and they could only gamble with their lives, grasping for that sliver of hope.

It was useless to be afraid of death at this moment.

Lu Wei laughed loudly as he hastily retreated backwards, his right arm stretched forth and instantly became a black bear arm.

Wang Quan Feng, Su Ge and Li Feng Xuan’s first reactions were actually to retreat backwards, Ma Zi Ye’s Web of Metal had actually failed to trap even a single one of them.

“That’s too simple, little lady, the biggest mistake you committed was knowing that your strength was inferior to ours yet not hiding your trump cards. If you did not utilise this move earlier and suddenly used it now, we might actually have been in dire straits.” Wang Quan Feng explosively retreated while adjusting his glasses, sighing and shaking his head.

Ma Zi Ye’s heart felt tight, she felt regretful, although the words of Wang Quan Feng were difficult to listen to, they were not without logic.

While Wang Quan Feng was talking, Su Ge’s right arm clenched. Crisp cracking sounds were emitted as a metallic cylinder appeared, his right hand which was clenched in a fist retracted into the cylinder and dense white mist was spat forth, its target Ma Zi Ye.

Wherever the white mist touched, they would instantly be covered in a thick layer of frost.

Ma Zi Ye could only choose to dodge but Su Ge suddenly exclaimed as he rushed forward, the metallic cylinder once again make cracking noises as the frost covered fist actually flew out.

Ma Zi Ye’s expression changed, Zhao Shi Chang who was behind, shouted as he swung his two metre long arm and bone blade forward.

“Dang!”

A crisp sound could be heard as the bone blade and the frost fist collided as fragments of ice exploded out, Zhao Shi Chang’s bone blade was extremely sharp and even with the layer of ice covering Su Ge’s fist, it had managed to slice a fissure and blood coloured water was flowing out. However, the strength of Su Ge’s fist was much stronger and Zhao Shi Chang groaned as he was sent flying back.

These events happened in the blink of an eye, Wang Quan Feng, Su Ge, Li Feng Xuan and Lu Wei had explosively retreated at the same time before attacking together, their target was clear and they were rushing towards Ma Zi Ye.

Ma Zi Ye’s Web of Metal held the greatest threat to them and if they were careless it was possible for them to be trapped.

Su Ge had been blocked by Zhao Shi Chang, Wang Quan Feng adjusted his glasses as his right hand stretched forth, three balls of black smoke were emitted from his right arm as his right hand clenched and tossed the black smoke at Ma Zi Ye who was retreating.

Branches began to appear before Li Feng Xuan’s body, these branches were entwined forming a branch chest armour, the chest armour did not only assist him in blocking attacks but also could extend and attack, wrapping around the legs of Ma Zi Ye.

These four people were acting in unison while Chu Xiang appeared exceptionally graceful, although she had lost an ear, she seemed to have a natural arrogance as she slowly walked towards Qin Jia Gui and the others, her right hand gently touching the bracelet on her left hand as a faint right light could suddenly be seen.

She was going to make her move.

Chu Xiang’s right hand gently touched the bracelet on her left hand as though she were touching her lover, a faint red glow was emitted from the bracelet, suddenly, her body stooped as she flew forward, her right hand swept as a streak of red light swept forth like lightning.

“Aaahhh!” Qin Jia Gui suddenly yelled as fresh blood spurted from his chest, in this moment between life and death, his legs kicked the ground as his body swiftly retreated backwards, a frightening inch deep wound from his left shoulder to his right waist could be seen.

“Jia Gui!” Yuan Ni Ping leapt forward in shock, Chu Xiang lightly belched, her right hand was already holding a long sword that was gleaming with a red light, she found it weird that her blow had not been able to sever Qin Jia Gui’s body in two.

“Buzz, Buzz”

Suddenly, a group of poisonous wasps appeared above her head like clouds as they pressed down.

This was Li Dong’s ability: Call of the Wasps.

Chu Xiang’s long sword was erect as her legs kicked, her head began to change, her speed increased as the long sword sliced like lightning towards Li Dong.

Although Li Dong’s Call of the Wasps was still a tier one ability, it could summon one hundred poisonous wasps and this was not easy to deal with. Chu Xiang had analysed the situation and immediately decided to go after Li Dong, ignoring the heavily injured Qin Jia Gui.

Her abilities had been activated and Chu Xiang’s speed exploded, Li Dong was shocked as he commanded the poisonous wasps to attack while retreating backwards.

Chu Xiang was simply too frightening, even Qin Jia Gui who was so strong had been severely injured in a single exchange, how could Li Dong possibly defend himself?

Li Dong fled while the figure of Chu Xiang had already rushed before Zhou Bi Rong, Lei Rui, Jade and the others. Zhou Bi Rong yelled as three claws appeared from her right hand, clawing towards Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang stooped down to dodge while the long sword swept, sweeping upwards from her waist.

“Chi!”

Zhou Bi Rong groaned as the long sword pierced her, Chu Xiang then smashed with her shoulder sending Zhou Bi Rong flying like a broken kite.

“Aaaahhhh!” Jade could not help but scream as Lei Rui pulled her to retreat in panic. Chu Xiang smiled as she suddenly tossed the sword which was covered in blood.

“Swish”

The long sword flew through the air and instantly appeared before Jade’s chest.

Lei Rui could see clearly from the back and could not help but shriek as her hands pushed, causing Jade to fall while the long sword which was piercing towards Jade instantly entered Lei Rui’s chest.

Lei Rui’s eyes rolled up and did not even manage to scream before falling to the ground.

Su Ge’s right arm which had a metallic cylinder heavily struck, Zhao Shi Chang groaned, his right arm was very long and allowed him to easily wield his bone blade, however, it’s hardness was reduced and Su Ge who was close to him had heavily smashed with the metallic cylinder, Zhao Shi Chang could not withstand the blow as he groaned and fell away. Su Ge growled as the frost fist flew forward.

“Bang!”

The fist was about to smash into Zhao Shi Chang’s chest but Zhao Shi Chang managed to react and managed to retract his right arm to block in time. The frost fist slammed onto his right arm causing it to smash onto his chest, miserably shouting as he spat out blood, his body tumbled away.

Lu Wei’s right arm had become a huge bear arm, together with Wang Quan Feng and Li Feng Xuan, they were conducting a pincer attack on Ma Zi Ye. Ma Zi Ye had no way to dodge and could only steel her heart as she once again activated the Web of Metal, while doing so, she also activated the Steel Spear as she heavily stabbed in the direction of Lu Wei’s chest.

Lu Wei’s bear palm swept.

“Pa!”

Ma Zi Ye’s Steel Spear was sent flying as an intense pain filled her hand, the webbing between her fingers had actually torn.

Zhang Zhong Mou who was by the side did not speak as half his face turned to stone, utilising the Rock Head Cannon Pulveriser as he smashed towards Wang Quan Feng, assisting Ma Zi Ye in blocking one person.

Zhang Zhong Mou was merely at tier one and his speed and reflexes were laughable in comparison to Wang Quan Feng. Wang Quan Feng dodged as his right hand grabbed, immediately grabbing Zhang Zhong Mou’s face as the black mist instantly shrouded Zhang Zhong Mou’s head.

“Aaahhhh!” Zhang Zhong Mou let out an explosive yell as his hands crazily attacked, attempting to grab Wang Quan Feng as he wildly yelled: “Su Yu! If you still don’t wake up we’re all finished!”

Lei Rui had fallen to the ground after being stabbed by the sword and Jade was dazed for a moment before recovering, covering her face with her hands as she screamed.

Chu Xiang smiled as she continued forward after tossing her sword, rushing towards Li Dong who was still attempting to flee.

Ma Zi Ye had activated the Web of Metal but did not expect that Li Feng Xuan was actually faster than her and had extended his branches to trap her legs, pulling and causing Ma Zi Ye to fall as she screamed.

“Bang!”

The branches that had extended from Li Feng Xuan’s chest were extremely frightening, after trapping Ma Zi Ye’s legs, they actually pulled and seemed like they were pulling a paper man, immediately causing her to fly into the air as she heavily fell.

Ma Zi Ye tumbled and coincidentally smashed into Su Yu who was currently sleeping like a rock.

“Ergh……”

This blow was simply too forceful and Ma Zi Ye groaned as blood appeared on her lips.

Lu Wei saw the opportunity as he laughed and strode forward, his bear paw sweeping from above with a frightening force, heavily smashing towards the skull of Ma Zi Ye as he felt regretful, such a pretty lady was about to die.

Ma Zi Ye had just been smashed into Su Yu’s body and the force from the collision was simply too frightening, her mind was in a daze and in this instant she did not have the strength to struggle as she managed to barely lift her head, watching as the frightening black bear paw of Lu Wei swung down, slowly nearing her face.

Realising that she could not dodge, an expression of hopelessness and unwillingness appeared on her face, she knew that it was over and in that instant, the image of her parents appeared within her mind, she really wanted to see her parents, looking at that for the final time.

“Pa!”

An explosive sound rang out and a sinister smile appeared on Lu Wei’s face. The huge black bear paw had firmly landed, exploding with a frightening sound. He could almost imagine Ma Zi Ye’s beautiful face which had been smashed into meat pulp and the red blood and white brain matter mixed together, that scene would definitely be beautiful.

His hand had firmly landed but Lu Wei felt that something was amiss because the wonderful feeling of exploding a skull was missing, it seemed like he had smashed into a piece of metal and his bear paw was actually feeling pain.

The bear paw of Lu Wei was focused on strength and in his group, his bear paw carried the most force.

What was going on? How could the lady’s head be harder than metal? It could actually cause his bear paw to feel pain.

Lu Wei was shocked and wished to lift his bear paw to take a look but suddenly felt that his bear paw was trapped, the other party’s strength was simply too frightening and Lu Wei pulled but could not move.

At this moment, he realised that something was wrong as he used all his force to attempt to explosively retreat. Suddenly, ‘Chi! Chi!’ sounds could be heard as the intense pain of tearing could be felt from his bear paw.

“Aaaahhhh!”

Lu Wei howled, this pain was simply indescribable, it was as though there were tens of thousands of different forces that were slowly ripping and tearing his bear paw apart, piece by piece.

Minced flesh, shattered bone, fresh blood…… these items were mixed together as they flew in all directions, Lu Wei howled as he explosively retreated, he was shocked to realise that the huge bear paw which he was proud of had actually be minced and destroyed…..

“No!!!” Lu Wei yelled, Chu Xiang, Wang Quan Feng, Su Ge and Li Feng Xuan instantly looked over, each person had shock in their eyes as they saw the youth who had been unconscious on the group lift his hand from beside Ma Zi Ye, his left arm was covered in black scales and the black scales were raised and rotating, upon contact with Lu Wei’s bear paw it had actually minced the entire bear paw in an instant.

Lu Wei howled as he retreated, his bear paw was gone and fresh blood flowed like a spring. His face was white like a sheet of paper and the youth who had always been unconscious gently pushed Ma Zi Ye as he soundlessly stood up before tousling his hair, a look of puzzlement appearing on his face.
