Outside the secret realm, in the city square.
Under Chen Jinrong’s instructions, the director switched the main screen of the square to the scene of the fourth-ranked team fighting the mutated beasts.
Although it was a little boring compared to the previous battle, the audience at the scene and the live-stream were still watching with relish under the explanation of the two professional commentators.
However, occasionally, there would still be spectators who wanted to see the battle scene of the top three teams.
The director naturally chose to ignore this request. Even though he knew that this would cause a large number of viewers in the live-stream to disappear, he still did not dare to change the scene because the commander-in-chief of the
Kaiyang Military Region, Chen Jinrong, was sitting beside him.
The screen in front of the two of them was playing the cliff battlefield of the ice mountain venue.
At this moment, Turk was talking to the camera, but Chen Jinrong had already plugged in his earpiece. The director beside him could not hear anything and could only feel his aura becoming increasingly oppressive, as if he was a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
As time passed, a suffocating powerful aura slowly spread out. The entire staff in the broadcast room began to fall silent.
The caster, who was closest to him, felt his heart beat faster. After hesitating for a long time, he finally could not help but wave his hand. “C-Commander Chen, can I talk to you?
Chen Jinrong came back to his senses and smiled kindly. The suffocating aura also disappeared. He casually took off his earphones and asked softly, “Is there a problem?”
“No, there’s no problem.”
The director pointed at the screen with a dry smile. “I think this battle is over. I want to ask if…
Chen Jinrong refused without waiting for the other party to finish speaking. Then, he turned the screen to an angle that only he could see. “Go ahead and do your work. I’ll call you when it’s over.”
Alright.”
The director nodded with a dry smile. Even though he was helpless, he did not dare to say anything.
Chen Jinrong ignored his feelings. After saying that, he put on his earphones again and looked at the screen with a gloomy expression. It was unknown what he was thinking.
In the secret realm, at the ice mountain venue.
Hearing that Turk wanted to kill them to confirm his words, Tang Hengshan’s expression changed and he turned to run, but he was grabbed by Wang Xiao.
“Why are you pulling me?!”
Tang Hengshan asked anxiously with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t you hear him say that he wants to kill us? Even if we want to risk our lives, we should at least send the others to a safe place first, right?”
“I know, but it’s not time yet.”
Wang Xiao replied softly. He raised his chin and gestured for Tang Hengshan to look forward. “Adjutant Qi seems to be contacting someone.”
Tang Hengshan followed Wang Xiao’s gaze and indeed discovered that Qi Lianjun was gesturing with his hand behind his back. However, other than them, who else was in this [Life and Death Arena]?
Before Tang Hengshan could ask, Turk, who had completed the mission, had already turned around. Qi Lianjun immediately stopped.
“This is your secret mission?”
Qi Lianjun looked at Turk solemnly. “Using this global live broadcast to declare war on the Blue Planet?”
“That’s right.”
Turk nodded without hiding anything. His face was filled with smugness. “Compared to trying my luck to find you guys in the Myriad World Battlefield, this method is the most efficient… right?”
“Yes, it’s indeed very efficient.”
Qi Lianjun nodded, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “But I don’t understand. The Blue Planet and the Purple Star don’t interact much. Why did you suddenly declare war on the Blue Planet?”
“I’m not sure about that either. After all, I’m only in charge of carrying out missions.”
Turk smiled awkwardly, then winked slyly at Qi Lianjun. “However, I’ve heard some rumors before. Regarding vour question, I can onlv sav, ‘A man’s wealth
is his own ruin by causing another’s greed.”‘
“A man’s wealth is his own ruin by causing another’s greed?” Qi Lianjun repeated and frowned, as if he did not understand what this sentence meant.
Behind the shield, Wang Xiao also revealed a puzzled expression. Although he understood the meaning of these words, he did not know what good things the Blue Planet had that could make the Purple Star declare war on them and even travel a long distance to snatch them.
Before the two of them could figure it out, Turk suddenly clapped his hands. “Alright! My kindness ends here. I just said that I wanted to use your lives to prove my words. Now, it’s time to fulfill my promise.”
Before he could finish speaking, Turk’s expression suddenly turned cold. “Kill them.”
Clang!
After receiving the order, the [Undead Swordsman] unsheathed its sword. Almost at the same time, Wang Xiao saw Qi Lianjun clench his fists behind his back!
“Run!”
Wang Xiao shouted and turned to run. Tang Hengshan also reacted extremely quickly and immediately followed. They did not know if Qi Lianjun could escape this calamity, but the only thing they could do now was to trust him!
Moreover, compared to Qi Lianjun, Wang Xiao and Tang Hengshan’s current situation was also not safe.
The attack range of the [Undead Swordsman] was easily hundreds of meters. The two of them had four legs in total and had to carry five unconscious companions. Who knew if they would be cut into two in the next second?
In this tense moment, even time seemed to slow down.
Wang Xiao ran with all his might with the two girls, but he still did not seem to be able to see any progress. The white snowfield in front of him seemed to have no end, and the snow-white arc of light behind him was already getting closer and closer.
Soon, the hair on Wang Xiao’s back stood on end. Although he did not turn around, he knew that the attack of the [Undead Swordsman] had already arrived.
With a light bang, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] sensed that Wang Xiao was in danger and appeared to protect its master. However, as a level seven platinum Undead Swordsman, this was only a futile effort.
With just a touch, the body of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] turned into shattered light and collapsed. Just as Wang Xiao felt a trace of sadness, he saw a stream of light shoot over from the other side!
Swoosh!
A stream of light flashed so quickly that Wang Xiao even thought that he had seen it wrongly.
Almost at the same time, the sword slash arc behind him quietly exploded. At the same time, the purple light screen that covered a thousand meters suddenly lit up. Then, it shattered into countless dazzling stars in front of wang Xiao!
“The [Life and Death Arena] has been removed!”
The system notification sounded in his ear. Before Wang Xiao could react, the ground under his feet suddenly shook. The nearly ten square meters of ground around him lifted him and Tang Hengshan up and quickly rushed into the distance!
“It’s Brother Xuan! Our reinforcements are here!”
When Wang Xiao saw this familiar scene, he was immediately overjoyed. He was no longer in the mood to wonder why the [Life and Death Arena] had suddenly been removed.
At this moment, another piece of ground sped over from the other side. The two pieces of ground brushed past each other in a few meters. Wang Xiao’s eyes instantly widened in surprise!
At that moment, he seemed to have seen someone who definitelv could not appear here..
