“Easy, all of you. Go easy! Don’t bomb her to death!” Ying Xi exclaimed and thought to himself, These people are so menacing. Why are they all so angst?

If this girl dies, we’ll all have to withdraw from the competition!

“Li Yuan, save her.” Ying Xi chased and ordered the Medical Awakened of his team to save the burned girl.

Li Yuan, too, yelled in a Beijing accent, “All of you, be gentler. Do you want to withdraw from the competition?”

While running, Li Yuan waved his hands continuously, and some white stars fell and landed on the charred girl.

The teams from Cainan Province, Beijiang Province, Tianjin, and Beijing High School flew over. Xiaoqi’s teammate had learned his lesson this time. He pressed himself against the wall and pretended to be a dummy.

The people who passed by looked at them with scrutiny. Due to what happened just now, the students of the Beijing High School Alliance did not take action and simply moved past them.

The teammates heaved a sigh of relief and frantically scurried towards the alley, finally found Xiaoqi, and hurriedly went forth to check on her.

Although she had been bombed terribly, there were still some remaining signs of life within her, and the Medical Awakened frantically gave her a helping hand.

At the next moment, her teammates’ bodies stiffened!

Why?

Because the Ancient Warriors had rushed over from afar.

They had just stepped on the Little Firemen to extinguish them. Perhaps because their feet were burning, they scurried quickly...

Her teammates turned pale, and they thought, Can you give us a chance to survive?

Xiaoqi’s analysis was indeed right, and the group of Ancient Warriors was indeed terribly injured.

However, Xiaoqi didn’t consider the fact that they were still jumping around nimbly despite being injured.

Not only were the Ancient Warriors still mobile and active, but they were also full of murderous intent and looked like they were out to kill anyone that came their way.

Her teammates frantically pressed the invisible earphones and exclaimed, “Please help! Please help!”

“Guardians, please rescue us.”

“Help!”

Because the star students of the year were gathered on the battlefield, such as the scheming Yuan Qinghua from Southern Guangdong Province, Han Jiangxue from Beijiang, Liu Yang from Tianjin, as well as Cai Yao, Xiong Chumo, and Ying Xi from Beijing, the scene of them fighting was currently on the broadcast. Most of the viewers who paid to watch had also chosen to watch the feed from their first-person perspectives.

The battle rhythm was simply too fast. In order to provide the people with a better view, the officials provided split screens and tried their best to capture every detail of the battle.

The audience was also gearing up excitedly and focusing all their attention on the battle, waiting for a feast for the eyes.

The split screens, of course, included Xiaoqi and her team. After all, they were also within the chaotic pursuit.

There were numerous pop-up comments on the screen of Su Rou’s live-stream, which were all overlapping.

“Damn it! Haha!”

“Wonderful! Paying them back in their own coin.”

“Goddess Xue is the best!”

“Sis, stop making those sounds. Who can stand this?”

“This is toxic. I’m still a child.”

“Teams of people brushed past and were stunned motionless. Before they could even relax, they looked up... only to see the Ancient Warriors!”

“Was it surprising? Was it exciting? Was it shocking?”

“Save the kids...”

“Save the kids.”

...

Xiaoqi’s team faced a hopeless situation that left them in desperation. Jiang Xiao’s team was no exception.

Being chased by a group of impetuous students from Beijing, they fled frantically. To be frank, if the identities were switched, Jiang Xiao would also be infuriated to have his rewards snatched away by others after having worked hard for them.

However, as the saying went: For every debt, there is a debtor.

Keep chasing...

Liu Yang and Xia Yan had the worst tempers. This time, Liu Yang took the lead.

While running, he yelled, “Stop chasing! We didn’t take it. Yuan Qinghua is not with us.”

“Cut the crap, hold it right there!”

“Rascal, don’t let me catch you.”

“If you didn’t take it, why are you running?”

Liu Yang was infuriated and barked, “Are you trying to scam me? Are you telling me that I shouldn’t help someone up if I weren’t the one who knocked into them?”

Ying Xi, at the back, suddenly stopped in his tracks and reached his right hand out. His three teammates also stopped.

The Medical Awakened Li Yuan asked, “What’s the matter?”

With flames in his eyes, Ying Xi looked rather terrifying because they were in the spooky and gloomy mausoleum. He said with a stern expression, “Something’s wrong.”

“What is it?” Li Yuan asked.

Ying Xi said, “I can clearly see the elite teams in front of me: Tianjin, Beijiang, and Nancai. I didn’t see the team from Southern Guangdong.”

Li Yuan frowned and asked, “Are you sure?

The gloomy environment had indeed caused a lot of trouble for them.

Ying Xi shook his head and said, “Do you remember who said ‘over there’ when we were in the small tomb just now?”

Startled, Li Yuan thought, The scene just now was really chaotic. Who knows who said those words?

Li Yuan said, “Do you mean...”

Ying Xi turned around slowly and said, “Yuan Qinghua can’t act alone. At least two of her teammates speak proper Mandarin without any accent.”

Li Yuan hurriedly pressed the invisible earphones and said, “Stop.”

There were four people in each team, and they also communicated through a channel. Back when the students of Beijing formed an alliance, they had already exchanged the invisible earphones.

The team in front had also discovered something amiss. Three teams stopped midway. In terms of strength alone, they were definitely the elites. After observing through various means, they discovered that Yuan Qinghua’s team was not in front either.

The remaining two teams chased fiercely, while Liu Yang and Xia Yan had a heated argument.

Yes, the temperamental Xia Yan also joined the battle and was arguing with Liu Yang, having a whale of a time. She seemed to have turned the horrible hunt and hot pursuit into a scene out of an urban comedy.

“Three teams have stopped chasing, and only two teams are left behind,” Li Weiyi said all of a sudden.

“If we continue bulldozing our way through and end up running into the Ancient Warriors, we’ll be in trouble,” the girl in Li Weiyi’s arms said in a melodious voice.

“Come on, show our allies!” Liu Yang exclaimed all of a sudden as a faint figure appeared from his body.

The Imperial Mausoleum was dark in the first place, and the figure seemed to be made of faint mist, making it difficult for them to be detected.

Not only did several figures emerge from Liu Yang’s body, but numerous faint black figures also darted out of the Shield Warriors He Fan and Zhang Qinzhou, as well as Cai Yao.

Within a few seconds, more than a dozen dark figures had filled the corridor, standing still at various angles.

The team of four all had the Silver Quality Star Technique, Shadow Summoner, and it was no exaggeration to say that they all served Liu Yang!

–

Silver Quality Shadow Summoner: Summons a faint shadow that lasts for 10 seconds, with no attacking power.

–

The team at the back was trying various methods to make the team in front stay still, with fire-series Star Techniques and other wind and control-type Star Techniques. Initially, Han Jiangxue and the other Rules Awakened were still struggling to block, but the situation had changed.

The moment the members of the two teams in the rear stepped into the corridor, Liu Yang, running beside Xia Yan, suddenly disappeared...

Xia Yan was shocked!

Immediately afterward, various screams sounded from the corridor behind.

Everyone stopped abruptly and looked back, only to see a phantom shuttling in the dark corridor full of shadows. It was also glistening lightly...

Liu Yang’s figure seemed illusory. Whenever a faint figure appeared, he would throw out a shadow and also disappear from the shadow in an instant.

It was no exaggeration to say that in the corridor full of shadows, every dark shadow was Liu Yang but also not, at the same time.

Oh, my god. I really got an eye-opener today!

Jiang Xiao was secretly stunned speechless. It was a Gold Quality Star Technique, Tailgate!

–

Gold Quality Star Technique Tailgate: Consumes plenty of Star Power, allows one to shuttle between “shadows.”

–

The dagger in Liu Yang’s hand was still shining coldly, and after the figure flickered several times, the dagger was already stained with blood.

He was really stabbing them!

Whoosh Whoosh...

The shadow in the corridor quietly disappeared, and Liu Yang’s figure finally stabilized, but several students were lying on the ground everywhere around him. They were clutching their stomachs and rolling on the ground while wailing endlessly.

Liu Yang placed the blood-stained dagger against the neck of a Medical Awakened. The blood dripping from the dagger was thick and gave off a strong metallic odor. The odor had a synonym—Danger.

“Well, why are you wailing? Go on and keep clamoring. Look at you elites. They’ve long stopped chasing you! Ying Xi is no longer by your side, and yet, you still have the guts to chase me? What do you mean, brother?” Liu Yang pressed his dagger against the student’s neck and pushed him towards the wall. He continued, “Only incompetent ones like you will clamor.”

The other student swallowed some saliva, and his Adam’s Apple rolled. Pressed against the wall, he said feebly, “You’re pretty strong, and you often wail too, eh?”

Liu Yang was dumbfounded.

The girl in Li Weiyi’s arms said softly, “Thank... thank you.”

Li Weiyi finally snapped back to his senses and hurriedly put Xiong Chumo down.

Xiong Chumo’s delicate little face turned a little flushed. Unfortunately, the girl whose name was as beautiful as her face looked just like a cartoon character...

Jiang Xiao was still reminiscing about the faint figures in the corridor when he suddenly heard someone calling from above. A yellow-green bird landed on his head and behaved affectionately. It leaned over and rubbed itself against his head.

Since the team from Cainan Province was there to form an alliance, they would naturally find a topic to talk about.

She lowered her head and introduced herself. “Thank you for saving me. My name is Chumo, and my surname is Xiong... You’d better call me Chumo.”

“Uh.” Li Weiyi touched his nose awkwardly. He couldn’t be bothered just now because the situation was critical. In the end, he carried the girl in his arms all the way. Now that he had finally stopped, the only thing he felt was that she was really fragrant.

He remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became particularly awkward.

With the bird on his head, Jiang Xiao broke the awkward silence and said, “It’s alright. Don’t be shy. My buddy is called Shoutao. His surname is Hui.”

Li Weiyi was dumbfounded.
