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

At this moment, seven other rookies that were chasing him came surrounding him. There were also figures that began appearing at the end of one’s vision!

Ye Sheng finally realized that he had been surrounded!

He was surrounded by pursuers. Furthermore, the rain of bullets might fall once again. He was in a hopeless situation.

Ye Sheng recalled the terrible states of the last few pursuers. His lips turned pale as they shivered.

“To last ten minutes? That’s impossible…”

As Ye Sheng ruminated, a look of resoluteness flashed in his eyes. He suddenly looked up and shouted, “All you bunch of madmen. You want to shatter my epaulette? Dream on! I’ll rather be eliminated than to give it to you!”

Ye Sheng seemed to be in a frenzy and his voice sounded hysteric.

When the rookies surrounding him heard this, they realized something and shouted, “No!”

However, no one could prevent Ye Sheng, who had been scared out of his wits. He yelled with his throat hoarsened, “Open Sesame!”

The two words were the exit command!

Shi Xiaobai turned his head in astonishment as he saw Ye Sheng transform into a golden beam of light that shot towards the sky. He had vanished from the trials.

At the same time, the authoritative voice resounded through the entire world:

“The fugitive has exited the trials. This round’s Life and Death Assault is null and void. The next Life and Death Assault will begin in seven minutes.”

The rookies that came in pursuit stopped and looked at each other. They began grumbling.

“Sigh, another coward that used the exit command!”

“This won’t do. If every fugitive were to use the exit command at their last struggling moment, how are we to clear the level before the Level Lord descends?”

“We can only do it by surprise. We have to sneak up on the fugitives before they can even react and destroy their Death Epaulettes. However, that is very difficult as well.”

“The main reason is because the previous fugitives ended up in a terrible state. All of them were stubbornly persisting to the point of suffering grievous injuries. One of them even died a terrible death. So now when the fugitive is surrounded, the fugitive would hurriedly exit the trials. We would do the same if we were in their shoes. The scene was just too bloody and gross. If you aren’t careful, your shoulder might disappear as well. In short, it is very difficult for a pursuer to clear the level.”

“Sigh, it’s difficult for a pursuer to clear, but it’s even more difficult for a fugitive. With so many people chasing after the fugitive, it’s just too difficult to last ten minutes!”

“…”

The rookies that came in pursuit discussed as they left separately. They were waiting for the next round to begin in seven minutes.

Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment. Suddenly he turned towards where the rain of bullets came.

Clearly, he had missed a chance of clearing the level by a sliver.

However, Shi Xiaobai did not regret it. He could have indeed chosen to shatter the Death Epaulette on Ye Sheng’s shoulder, but Ye Sheng would very likely be riddled in holes by the rain of bullets.

Shi Xiaobai obviously would not choose to do such a despicable act that was oblivious of life in order to clear the level. Therefore, he had rushed in front of Ye Sheng immediately, using the Sword of Wind from the Kun Peng Sword Technique against the rain of bullets.

However, Shi Xiaobai was furious. The bastard who had shot the rain of bullets had shown complete disregard for Ye Sheng’s life. Such a ruthless act infuriated Shi Xiaobai. And the crux of the matter was, that the thing that was in the bag flew away just like that. How could Shi Xiaobai tolerate this!?

Shi Xiaobai was extremely fast as he quickly traversed through the forest. Soon, a figure entered his vision.

He was a lanky short-haired teenager, wearing black clothes, but his eyes were cold. Both of his hands were in his pockets, but his expression looked somewhat incensed.

Shi Xiaobai stopped and frowned slightly. “It’s you?”

Shi Xiaobai’s nose twitched and smelt the a faint and dissipating smell of gunpowder. Immediately staring at the short-haired teenager, he coldly said, “It’s you!”

Shi Xiaobai never expected that the bastard who had ruined his plan dared to stand at his original spot.

The short-haired teenager squinted his eyes slightly. His slender single eyelids narrowed into a slit, while his expression looked somewhat cold. With a cold tone, he said, “How do you want to die?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai immediately laughed.

Yo, this bastard is rather overbearing!

Shi Xiaobai slowly raised his black and white sword. Although he had just used Excalibur a short while ago, the little amount of psionic power he had regained was enough to beat the shit out of the bastard in front of him.

Shi Xiaobai was seldom angered, but the bastard in front of him had truly angered him.

At this moment, circular rings of yellow light began to light up as guns of all sorts—shapes and sizes—appeared out of the circular rings of light.

Densely packed guns filled the sky as they distributed all around Shi Xiaobai. Even the sky above his head was filled with guns.

“How do you want to die?”

The short-haired teenager’s hands were still in his pockets as he leered at him. He looked insufferably arrogant.

It was the same sentence, but the extent of its terror was completely different. The first sentence of ‘How do you want to die’ was like a threatening scare, but when the densely packed guns appeared out of thin air, this sentence sounded like the declaration of a death sentence.

If it were any ordinary person facing all these guns, they would probably pee themselves and hurriedly shout the exit command.

However, the person the short-haired teenager was currently talking to and had all the gun barrels pointed at was Shi Xiaobai. He was Shi Xiaobai, who remained intrepid even when facing the legion of skeletons soldiers, the bat riders that shrouded the sky, and the demonic army that filled Demon City.

“This King loves to teach a lesson to foolish mortals who think that they are better than others.”

Shi Xiaobai said coldly as he took a step forward.

At this moment, the triggers of all the guns that filled the sky were automatically squeezed!
