288 How do you wish to die? (1/2)

Chapter 288: How do you wish to die?

The two images in his head only lasted for ten seconds, but Shi Xiaobai had confirmed that the Ye Sheng, who had been chosen as the fugitive, was heading towards him. According to his speed, he would arrive in about a minute.

Shi Xiaobai immediately jumped up to a tree and looked towards the direction where Ye Sheng was.

Where he was situated was probably in a mountain. However, the vegetation was sparse and the trees were not thickset. Hence, a single glance made the area abnormally expansive.

Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings. He immediately noticed figures appearing along the horizon. The nearby trial-takers were rushing here in an attempt to intercept Ye Sheng.

A few seconds later, a freckled youth was running in panic at the ends of the horizon. There were seven or eight trial-takers behind him in pursuit. From time to time, someone would shoot a psionic arrow at Ye Sheng, who could only dodge in a sorry state while running desperately.

On a careful look, he noticed that there was a white crystal covering Ye Sheng’s shoulder. Clearly, he had used psionic power to protect the Death Epaulette.

Ye Sheng was blindly running and did not know that people were weltering towards him from all directions. They had completely surrounded him. Regardless of the direction in which he went, he would eventually meet pursuers.

How difficult was it to last ten minutes against a hundred or two hundred trial-takers’ combined efforts?

Of course, it was not easy to snatch the outcome of shattering the Death Epaulette out of a hundred or two hundred people.

Shi Xiaobai did not wait. This was a bonus that came to his doorstep. He obviously would not give it away.

Shi Xiaobai leaped down from the tree and used Crab Steps and headed towards Ye Sheng at a blistering speed.

The ground beneath his feet was soft. Every step left a deep depression into the ground. There were noisy sounds sounding off from everywhere in the sparse forest. The sounds of the pursuers’ footsteps were closing in.

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes lit up slightly. In front of him, he could see Ye Sheng!

Ye Sheng clearly saw Shi Xiaobai approaching him as well. Immediately, he screamed as though he had seen a ghost.

“Tu Dahei!”

Ye Sheng’s face paled. He hurriedly did a reversal by changing his direction to the right. He apparently knew that it was impossible for him to escape Tu Dahei in a head on clash!

“Don’t you go running!”

Shi Xiaobai laughed loudly. With an extremely fast speed, he chased after him and instantly, the gap between them shrank.

Ye Sheng turned his head and his eyes were filled with horror.

Fuck, how exaggerated was this speed?

In just a few seconds, the distance between Shi Xiaobai and Ye Sheng was less than five meters. He would be caught at the very next moment. Shi Xiaobai had already reached out his left arm. The sword that was switching black and white colors seemed extremely strange in his left hand, but Ye Sheng knew without a doubt that the sword could instantly cut his arm off.

In this pursuit, although the Life Epaulette represented ‘life’, the Life Epaulette was just the size of a coin. Furthermore, it was adhered tightly attached to the shoulder. In the bid to grab an opportunity, few trial-takers would show any mercy.

Ye Sheng had witnessed several fugitives guarding the epaulettes with their lives. Their shoulders ended being cleaved, penetrated, exploded and various tragic outcomes.

In this “Life and Death” Assault, it did not seem like life would be a problem on the surface, but reality was frequently cruel.

“Peng!”

At this moment, the sound of a gunshot was heard from a distance!

Shi Xiaobai’s eyebrows twitched as he slashed out with his sword five meters away from Ye Sheng!

A transparent sword beam shot straight at Ye Sheng’s shoulder!

“Ah!”

Ye Sheng screamed as he crouched down to the ground in fright. But all he saw was a bullet that had been split into half dropping on his shoulder.

The bullet emitted boiling hot gasses with the smell of gunpowder.

At the next moment, gunshots, that resembled the sound of a rainstorm pattering the ground, were heard.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The terrifying sounds of the gunshots did not resemble the constant shots from a machine gun. Instead, it was as though hundreds, if not thousands of guns had shot at the same moment in succession.

Ye Sheng hurriedly turned his head over and nearly peed his pants. He saw bullets that filled the sky pouring down on him at an extremely fast speed!

The bullets were like dark clouds that shrouded the sky. The speed was so fast that the naked eye could not discern them. Ye Sheng could not react in time as his eyes glazed over. A look of despair suffused his eyes.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him almost instantaneously.

A black and white sword slashed out at the bullets that filled the sky!

As the sword fell, a strong wind howled!

“Keng! Keng! Keng! …”

The violent sword wind scattered the dense rain of bullets. Each bullet was shattered as it fell down.

“Peng! Peng! Peng! …”

The rain of bullets that was blown into two pelted down on the soft ground, riddling it with holes. The ground immediately appeared to fill with crevices.

Ye Sheng’s body had curled up. He looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared to sweep the rain of bullets away. A look of disbelief appeared in his blank expression.

It was Tu Dahei!

Tu Dahei had saved him!
