Chapter 290: So as to eliminate her personally

“The thirty-second round shall begin immediately. Death Epaulette wearer has been randomly chosen. The wearer’s name is Sunless Ye!”

The moment the authoritative voice faded away, two images appeared in Shi Xiaobai’s mind once again.

One of them was the entire map of the mountainous region, indicating where his and Sunless’ respective locations were on the map. At this moment, the two were separated by a great distance, almost more than half the entire mountainous range.

The other image was fixed on Sunless. She was dressed in an azure dress and she was expressionless. Her eyes looked somewhat in a daze, but her beauty made people have the feeling that this girl should be in heaven. The mortal world could not afford her.

Compared to Ye Sheng’s wretched form of fleeing, the current Sunless was standing in the same spot motionless, as though she had no intentions of fleeing.

Sunless had given up?

Of course not. Just as the ten seconds of the image were up, a rookie had appeared at the boundary of the image. Clearly, the rookie was one of the eager pursuers. However, before he reached a hundred meters away from Sunless, a strong wind blew, sending the rookie flying backwards. The Life Epaulette on his shoulder suddenly shattered as the rookie transformed into a beam of golden light and was transported out of the trial.

Sunless held a silver sword in hand and remained expressionless. She did not even turn her head to look at the rookie that had suddenly appeared. She was just standing there quietly. Her silence was golden, but she also exuded an inexplicable dominance.

Life and Death Assault?

Why must I run? I’ll stand here waiting for all of you. If you have the guts, then try your best. Let’s see who ‘kills’ who!

The image slowly dissipated. Shi Xiaobai could not help but reveal a smile. Sunless had done what he was thinking. They were just a bunch of spicy chickens, what was the need to flee? If one came, kill one. If a group came, kill a group. Who cares what monsters or demons they were, they would be killed!

An Mo was a little alarmed as he said with a frown, “This is Sunless, third on the rookie forecast? Although this courage is commendable, isn’t this too reckless!? Indeed, no one is her match in a one-on-one situation, but if it were one against ten, or one against a hundred, how is she to deal with it? Why doesn’t she flee and attack at the same time. With her strength, it is not a problem to protect her epaulette while running.”

Shi Xiaobai heard this and glanced at An Mo. He said, “No wonder your flute’s music sounds terrible, it’s because your thoughts are problematic. This King shall bestow you a sentence—The value of a treasured sword depends on whether you regard it as a treasure or a sword.”

After saying that, Shi Xiaobai ran off without even turning his head again. Although he was not worried for Sunless, she was his friend. And in a sense, she was his confidant. With her being in a situation with others laying a siege on her, he obviously could not sit idle.

Shi Xiaobai ran towards Sunless’ location at full speed!

An Mo stared at Shi Xiaobai’s back blankly as his brows furrowed even deeper.

“Is my flute’s music really that terrible? Why must you say that my thoughts are problematic?”

An Mo ruminated over the final words Shi Xiaobai had said. Moments later, he shook his head as he said with a sigh, “The value of a treasured sword depends on whether you regard it as a treasure or a sword? As for what profound meaning this sentence has, I really…can’t figure it out.”

An Mo thought for a moment before he gave up thinking. He then began heading towards Sunless’ location.

The value of a treasured sword. Was this problem something worthy of study?

If he had the time, he might as well investigate the price of this large treasured sword.

…

…

In the quiet woods, the area was reeking with smoke as whispers filled the air.

Sunless was standing alone on an empty plain. There were no trees around her in a hundred meter radius.

She stood there silently with her eyes calm. She looked somewhat indifferent, and to a stranger, she looked like an ice-beauty who could topple countries with her beauty.

The Life and Death Assault had gone on for three minutes. During this period, there was no lack of pursuers that had rushed here. However, they were in no hurry to charge through the forbidden zone of a hundred meters. Even the best rookies of first-tier organizations could not withstand more than a few strikes.

The hundred-meter zone seemed to be an area no one could step through. Droves of rookies that came in pursuit had their Life Epaulettes shattered one after another. The most one could reach was a distance of fifty meters. It was no doubt a thrashing.

Sunless was this year’s super rookie, a rare sword fanatic that appeared once a century. She was forecast to be third among the rookies, and her strength was redoubtable. She was on a completely different level from the other rookies.

The rookies obviously realized that attempting to make a breakthrough one after another was impossible. However, they were unwilling to give up at this moment. Hence, they began to spontaneously wait in the forest a hundred meters away from Sunless. They were waiting for enough pursuers to arrive.

One person was not enough, so were ten. But if a hundred people charged forward at the same time, regardless of how powerful Sunless was, there was no way for her to instantly kill a hundred people in those short hundred meters!

And if they could eliminate Sunless, who was bound to take a spot in the top ten, they would have an additional chance of entering the top ten candidates for the collective training. Hence, this was not a simple ‘Life and Death Assault’. It had deeper meaning behind it, so it was worth it to do it at all costs, despicable or not!

More and more rookies gathered in the forest a hundred meters away. They were in whispers and waiting for their numbers to accumulate. They planned on rushing forward at the same time.

Sunless was still standing there silently. Even though the atmosphere which resembled the calm before the storm was repressing, she did not bat an eyelid. She did not choose to take the initiative to attack while the rookies were slowly gathering together. She was only waiting, as though she did not care how many people would rush at her when the time came.

In some people’s eyes, this was the confidence and the courage of the strong.

But in the eyes of others, this was hubris, an act of thinking too highly of herself.

…

At this moment, on one side of the woods a hundred meters away from Sunless. There was a bunch of rookies gathered. The numbers were about to exceed a hundred people.

For a team on such a scale, it naturally needed a leader. It needed a few key figures with the authority to lead. If the timing and procedure to which the attack was carried out was not agreed upon, it would be a waste of time disputing.

At this moment, in the middle of the rookies were three people clustered together. They had become the temporarily leaders of the hundred-man team that would quickly dissolve.

They did not need impressive leadership skills. All they needed were strength and reputation to convince the crowd.

One of them was a curvaceous girl wearing tight leather clothing. Her hair reached her waist, and her hair was slightly permed. Her looks were delicate, but she was not considered beautiful. However her eyes that accentuated her appearance seemed to have an intelligence to them. She held a whip that could automatically expand and contract, causing others to involuntarily make weird associations.
