375: Killed on the field, the world is about to change (two in one)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Above the high platform, figures of Universe Alliance higher-ups swiftly rushed towards the arena space where Hossen and Gu Ran were located.

Inside the arena space, Hossen seemed to sense something, turned to look, a smile playing on his lips, and instantly turned to press close to Gu Ran. In the latter's horrified eyes, one hand slammed down hard on Gu Ran's head!

"No!"

"Don't!!!"

In the stands, the people of Shiyuan Universe Country cried out in alarm!

"Hossen, stop!!!"

The voice of a Universe Alliance higher-up also directly entered the arena space, filled with urgency and threat.

"Hossen! It's not too late to stop now, otherwise you will be doomed forever!!!"

"Hossen, don't ruin yourself. If you stop now, everything can still be salvaged. Before fatal consequences are caused, we can pretend this never happened!"

"Stop at once!"

"Don't continue, Hossen. As long as you stop, you win this round, and you won't need to compete again. You will be declared the first place in this Cosmic Competition!"

Several higher-ups were anxious, some threatening, some enticing.

"Heh..."

However, facing these words, Hossen merely sneered, applying more force with his hand!

"Hossen, you!"

The higher-ups were instantly enraged and frustrated. Seeing that persuading Hossen was impossible, they turned to shout at Gu Ran: "Why don't you quickly surrender?!"

However, at this moment, Gu Ran's eyes had already become muddled the instant Hossen's hand pressed onto his head.

He had no chance to surrender now.

He didn't even have time to utter any cries for help or mercy; his entire being seemed to have its soul extracted in an instant, leaving him with a vacant, idiotic expression.

Seeing this, the Universe Alliance higher-ups shouted again.

"Hossen, you dare to violate the Universe Alliance's Forbidden Law. You are simply unforgivable!"

"Hossen, you have violated the Alliance's Forbidden Law and defied the Cosmic Competition's regulations. You are hereby informed that you have been listed as a Class A criminal and will be formally arrested to face trial!"

Two higher-ups furiously rushed into the arena space, directly restraining Hossen, and with cold faces, declared Hossen's crimes.

"Hehehe, trial? Is it to judge my crimes or to presumptuously peek at the power of Forbidden God?"

Hossen, however, grinned, and under the grim gazes of the two higher-ups, his face suddenly turned purple.

"Oh no, this kid is going to commit suicide!"

"He actually took poison beforehand?!"

The faces of the two Universe Alliance higher-ups instantly changed dramatically.

One of them even tried to save him, attempting to block the spread of the poison.

But it was completely too late. In a single breath, Hossen's entire body had turned bluish-purple, his breathing began to weaken, and he was on the verge of death.

Seeing this, the two higher-ups' faces turned ugly. The other one's eyes suddenly flashed, and he quickly pinched Hossen's chin, shouting:

"Tell us, who guided you to learn Forbidden God? Was it someone from your Taixuan Ancient Dynasty who forced you, right?"

"Pfft..."

The answer to this higher-up was a mouthful of purplish, foul blood that Hossen spat out with all his strength.

And Hossen's cold, mocking sneer: "I violated the Forbidden Law and secretly learned all of this myself. It has nothing to do with anyone!"

"Hossen, you're asking for death!"

Caught off guard, this higher-up was directly sprayed with purplish, foul blood all over his face. He instantly flew into a rage and raised his hand to slap Hossen.

But it seemed he remembered that this was still in the arena, being watched by tens of thousands, and such an action would be inappropriate. The raised hand was stiffly pulled back. Wiping the foul blood from his face, he said coldly:

"It must have been someone from your Taixuan Ancient Dynasty who guided you, otherwise, how could a mere Gene Warrior like you successfully master the power of Forbidden God!"

"Heh heh, I said there wasn't, and there wasn't. You want to slander my universe? Hmm? What are your intentions using such leading questions?"

Hossen, however, sneered again, turning the tables and completely disregarding this usually high and mighty Universe Alliance higher-up.

"Hossen, you..."

This higher-up was furious and about to say more, but his face suddenly changed again, and he abruptly looked towards another arena space.

Over there, a terrifying power also erupted!

And feeling this terrifying power, Hossen burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I am not alone on this path!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he died.

"Damn little thing!"

The two Universe Alliance higher-ups simultaneously turned their heads and cursed. One dragged Hossen's corpse, the other dragged the already idiotic Gu Ran, and instantly left this arena space, then rushed towards the other arena space.

Because over there, the power of Forbidden God was also emerging!

Yes, that's right.

It was Yuan Mo and Gu Ming's arena!

When Hossen's outburst attracted everyone's attention, Yuan Mo also burst out!

During the battle, Gu Ming's heart suddenly twitched for no reason.

The innate telepathy between the two brothers made him premonish that something might have happened to Gu Ran.

However, inside the arena space, he couldn't see the situation in other arena spaces, so he could only increase his power, wanting to eliminate Yuan Mo as quickly as possible to end the battle and go out to see what had happened.

However, Yuan Mo's defense was like a tortoise shell, somewhat impenetrable.

Even with his full-strength attack, it was difficult to eliminate Yuan Mo in a short time.

So, he also got a little angry. Coupled with his worry about Gu Ran's situation, in his haste and anger, he made the same move as Gu Ran did at that time, launching a full-strength attack at Yuan Mo.

It was at this moment that Yuan Mo, like Hossen just now, at the peak of Gu Ming's state, suddenly erupted with monstrous power, sending Gu Ming flying with a punch!

"Yuan Mo... you..."

The moment Gu Ming was sent flying, he was also momentarily stunned, but his reaction was faster than Gu Ran's.

Although shocked by Yuan Mo's strangeness, he still reacted instantly and was about to surrender.

However, Yuan Mo was also equally decisive. After one strike, he quickly closed in, giving Gu Ming no chance to surrender at all. A pair of large hands pressed down hard on Gu Ming's head!

"Gu Ming, your brother Gu Ran has gone before you. You can go accompany him now!"

Yuan Mo, who had always been a man of few words since the start of the Cosmic Competition, unexpectedly said a couple more sentences at this moment.

"You... what do you mean?"

Gu Ming struggled desperately, trying to break free from Yuan Mo's large hands.

However, no matter what he did, he couldn't break free an inch.

"My meaning is very simple, Gu Ran is going to die, and so are you." Yuan Mo's tone was faint.

"You, you killed Gu Ran?" Gu Ming was stunned.

"That's right, now it's your turn."

Yuan Mo spoke again. The next instant, he pressed down with both hands, and Gu Ming no longer had a chance to speak, instantly becoming idiotic as well.

Afterward, he looked towards Hossen's arena space, hearing that loud laugh.

"Everything, for Taixuan."

Yuan Mo whispered. The moment the Universe Alliance higher-ups entered, his body also turned purple, and he died.

The Universe Alliance higher-ups who rushed in looked at the corpse on the ground and the equally idiotic Gu Ming, all standing still in place... In the stands, everyone was completely stunned at this moment!

All of this happened too suddenly, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

After a period of eerie silence, hundreds of thousands of people erupted into a thunderous discussion.

"Holy crap, what the hell is going on here???"

"I'm dumbfounded. What's wrong with Hossen and Yuan Mo? How did they suddenly become so strong, and then commit suicide?"

"What is this Forbidden God power anyway? Why do the Universe Alliance higher-ups sound so wary, even fearful of it?"

"Yuan Mo said Gu Ran was going to die, and Gu Ming too. Does that mean they can kill people in the arena?"

"Isn't the arena space supposed to be absolutely safe? Why did Hossen and Yuan Mo die inside without triggering any protection?"

"What exactly is going on?!"

"Oh mama, I'm suddenly a little scared. This Cosmic Competition is too bizarre. I want to go home."

"..."

Everyone was confused.

This Cosmic Competition has been plagued by strange occurrences one after another!

First, there was Lin Yang, this dark horse, who fought his way into the top ten, carrying the biggest buzz!

Then came the bizarre outbursts of Hossen and Yuan Mo, who were originally at the bottom of the strength rankings, both killing Gu Ran and Gu Ming, and then committing suicide.

And then, the Cosmic Competition arena space, touted as absolutely safe, completely failed to trigger any protection mechanisms!

And what was that "Forbidden God" power that even the Universe Alliance higher-ups spoke of with changed expressions?

All of this left everyone filled with shock and doubt!

...At this moment, Lin Yang, to be honest, was also stunned!

Originally, he had only planned to watch the peak duel between Jin Hua Cang and Que Tian, and then go to merge with the extraordinary spatial matter.

But he never expected to witness such an astonishing event!

Competitors killing and committing suicide in the arena!

This was practically like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

The bizarre outbursts of Hossen and Yuan Mo were simply too sudden, without any warning whatsoever!

They just took out Gu Ran and Gu Ming like that!

Yes, that's right.

Gu Ran and Gu Ming were already dead.

After becoming idiotic and being taken out of the arena space, they both died on the spot.

They didn't even last a few minutes.

This was absolutely outrageous!

"My previous feeling was not wrong. Hossen and Yuan Mo both indeed hid their strength, probably to wait until they were matched with Gu Ming and Gu Ran to target them."

"And the arena space turns out not to be truly absolutely safe. That power called Forbidden God can break the arena space's protection mechanism and kill people."

Lin Yang murmured.

He was also greatly shaken.

The reason why the Cosmic Competition attracted the prodigies from various universes to participate was because the arena space was called absolutely safe!

Therefore, this Cosmic Competition was regarded by all major universes as the best training ground for their younger generations.

Here, they could spar and learn from other universe prodigies without any threat to their Life.

Otherwise, even with generous rewards, it would be difficult to attract all universes.

After all, some prodigies might not be much in the entire Cosmic Competition arena,

But for their Home Universe, they were all considered precious treasures. No one would want their talented descendants to die here before they had a chance to grow.

That's why the Cosmic Competition was elevated to such a high position.

However, now this absolute safety had been broken.

This made it difficult not to feel a sense of crisis!

A crisis for his own Life, and a crisis of trust in the Universe Alliance's event organizers!

Something happened to the competitors, and they couldn't even save them in time.

The protection mechanism in the arena space, touted as absolutely safe, also had no reaction.

Although it wouldn't lead to everyone feeling unsafe, a major upheaval was certainly inevitable.

"The subsequent ranking matches will probably have to be changed, and I'll have to be more careful and cautious."

Now, four out of ten competitors had died, so the ranking matches definitely couldn't proceed as originally planned.

Lin Yang then glanced at the battle between Que Tian and Jin Hua Cang.

These two universe competitors no. 364 had already decided the winner at some point.

He looked at the big screen, which showed that Que Tian had won.

Afterward, Lin Yang no longer paid attention to the remaining situation of the Cosmic Competition. He adjusted his state and began to merge with the extraordinary spatial matter.

Regardless of why Hossen and Yuan Mo erupted, how they mastered the power forbidden by the Universe Alliance, or why they targeted Gu Ming and Gu Ran.

All of this would take time to investigate.

And the results of the investigation might not necessarily be made public.

This involved two of the three great Universe Countries, and also some forbidden things, so it would probably be very difficult to know the outcome.

He still needed to concentrate on preparing for his upcoming battle with Hong Jin.

And thinking of this, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile wryly.

Ten competitors, now four had died directly, which meant he was at least in the top six this time!

He could even rank higher.

At least top five!

Gu Ran and Gu Ming, who died, were very strong, so that immediately eliminated two strong opponents. Among the remaining few, even if he lost all his upcoming matches, he would still be in the top five.

Because Zuoqiuyi currently had an all-loss record!

By virtue of his all-win record in the previous rounds, he was already at least guaranteed a top-five spot... "How exciting, this Cosmic Competition is truly one wave after another."

On the other side, Xing Guang was also very excited now.

Because he now had the same thoughts as Your Excellency Lin Yang.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang is at least in the top five this time. No matter how fiercely they fight, our universe has made a huge profit this time!"

Xing Guang excitedly told Yu Meng.

Yu Meng made a shushing gesture: "Keep it down, it's enough to be happy silently in your heart."

Although he was also very excited, he was more cautious than Xing Guang.

Now Shiyuan Universe Country had directly lost two of its top seeded competitors, so the higher-ups must have been furious.

And Lin Yang, representing his Home Universe, had disrupted their higher-ups' cooperation with Universe No. 364.

At this time, Yu Meng didn't want to directly provoke Shiyuan Universe Country.

Although, Shiyuan Universe Country probably wasn't in the mood to pay attention to them right now.

The competitor from Taixuan Ancient Dynasty mastering Forbidden Power and killing their top competitors, the Shiyuan Universe Country higher-ups were probably thinking about how to retaliate against Taixuan Ancient Dynasty.

"Next, there might be major turmoil within the Universe Alliance. It's better to finish up and go back quickly."

Yu Meng's eyes flickered, and he immediately began to arrange the return journey plan.

He knew a little bit about the secrets.

At this moment, he had a premonition of impending disaster!

And in fact, it wasn't just Yu Meng who had this feeling.

Many people also sensed a trend of approaching storm.

The atmosphere in the arena became somewhat strange.

The Universe Alliance official quickly announced changes to the Cosmic Competition.

And they specifically emphasized that the safety of the arena space was still trustworthy for everyone, and that this incident was merely an accident.

They stated that they would quickly improve the arena's protection mechanism to prevent similar situations from happening!

However, this explanation did not convince people much.

At the same time, Shiyuan Universe Country suddenly issued an announcement, expressing strong condemnation of the Taixuan Ancient Dynasty competitor's actions and demanding a reasonable explanation from Taixuan Ancient Dynasty!

Otherwise, this would be considered a declaration of war against Shiyuan Universe Country, and Shiyuan Universe Country would consider striking against Taixuan Ancient Dynasty!

As soon as this announcement was made, everyone was instantly alarmed.

"Heavens, things are changing..."
