133: My brother fell
At this moment, on the Human Race side.
Because everyone gathered together when they were sucked into the Town Boundary Tower, they appeared at the same location within the Town Boundary Tower.
In the beginning,
everyone still remembered Old Man Zhang's instructions, and Jijiang's constant talk of 'death' still hung over their heads, but as time passed...
This sense of crisis
was gradually dispelled by the novelty.
They began observing their surroundings, and naturally, disagreements arose. Some felt there was nothing here and wanted to explore further.
This included Xu Kun and his ilk. They immediately declared, “We didn't come here to be cowards! We have to seize an opportunity. What's the point of just staying here?!”
However, some individuals with deeper backgrounds knew more and were thus more cautious.
For example, Liu Ruyan.
She frowned deeply. “Didn't the Principal say that similar situations occurred when the Town Boundary Tower opened last time? In the beginning, the Universe of Myriad Races had an unwritten rule: eliminate the weak. I think we should just stay put for now. And don't you think that even if we explore further, what we see will be similar to what's right in front of us?”
Some agreed with this, while others opposed it.
It's like this:
Even a group of three people will have differing opinions, let alone nearly ten thousand. After arguing, they split into several groups.
Liu Ruyan chose to wait in place, while some decided to go out and explore, planning to return quickly if things went south.
As for people like Xu Kun,
they were confident they were no weaker than others. They suspected that what Jijiang and the others said might be alarmist. Putting everything else aside, if the Human Race was truly targeted for slaughter, then how did Jijiang obtain his inheritance?
Therefore, everyone felt they were a Child of Destiny, and even if they couldn't defeat the Ten Thousand Races, they could still escape.
Especially after seeing scattered members of the Ten Thousand Races turn and flee, this feeling intensified. All are creatures of these myriad worlds; who is truly inferior to whom?
How could they be unbeatable?!
Clearly, they were the main combat faction.
The nearly ten-thousand-person team instantly split into three groups. Xu Kun's group wasn't small, but certainly not huge. Everyone who came here was a cream of the crop among Human, none lacked pride, so asking them to obediently wait in place was impossible.
That was impossible.
And so,
Xu Kun led a team of 3,000 people, majestically advancing into the distance. Soon, they encountered a lone individual. They weren't idiots who knew nothing; they recognized this human-faced, beast-bodied creature as a Sky Demon Sable of the Demon Beast Race, incredibly powerful.
“Oi!”
Xu Kun extended his hand.
Originally, Diao Da of the Sky Demon Sable Race, seeing so many people, was about to leave. He didn't expect that annoying Human behind him would call out to him with a contemptuous tone and beckon with a finger.
“Do you need something?”
Diao Da surveyed the numerous Human Race individuals before him with his dark pupils, feeling a slight apprehension due to their sheer numbers. Even if each person gave him a light tap, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Moreover,
Diao Da knew well that he had just entered the Town Boundary Tower. According to the unwritten rule of the Universe of Myriad Races, this was the stage for eliminating the weak. These people clearly seemed tough, and he preferred to seek out isolated members of the Ten Thousand Races to demonstrate his abilities.
Ultimately,
he didn't want to get injured. Once injured, he might become a soft target in the eyes of others. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he truly didn't want to bother with this group of insects before him.
But someone was provoking him.
“Hehe...”
Xu Kun observed the other party. He was contemplating. The 3,000 people behind him, though seemingly united with him, each had their own agenda. To control them, he had to demonstrate his own strength.
How to do that?
Clearly, this guy in front of him was a test, but he didn't yet know the opponent's strength. Rushing into an attack wasn't a good choice.
So,
Xu Kun's eyes darted around, and he thought of a good idea. He patted the arm of the person next to him, a subordinate who had been with him for a long time.
He said:
“You, go try him!”
“Me?”
The subordinate was dumbfounded, “Me... me?”
“Yes!”
Xu Kun nodded decisively, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “He's just one person, so we'll send out just one person too. We Martial Artist believe in fairness!”
“I...”
A million profanities flashed through the subordinate's mind. You're being fair, so why don't you go forward and be fair yourself!!
Xu Kun sensed his subordinate's emotions and whispered, lowering his head, “I'm ready to support you from the rear, don't worry. I'm not sending you to your death. Only by you proving the opponent's strength can my own power be highlighted. For your brother, won't you make a sacrifice?”
“Ah... this..”
The subordinate hesitated slightly,
Diao Da was already impatient. He saw these two whispering in front of him, as if they didn't take him seriously.
He was being disrespected by a Human?
His blood instantly surged!!
In an instant, huge bat wings unfurled, and the next second, he appeared before everyone, directly facing Xu Kun and the others!!
“Holy crap!!”
Xu Kun never expected such speed. Subconsciously, he immediately pushed his subordinate in front of him, while simultaneously using his movement technique to try and escape backward.
All of this was captured by the camera.
The bullet comments exclaimed—
“Such a powerful Demon Beast!!!”
“Here he comes, Big Brother directly facing the Demon Beast!! Hit him, hit him quick!!”
“This Demon Beast looks way more badass than the one Han Lie encountered, Big Brother, quickly prove yourself ahhhhhh!!!”
“Why are you all just standing there? Do you think this is a martial arts sparring match? Everyone attack!!!”
.............
In a flash,
the situation had changed. The other Human Race individuals weren't wooden stakes; seeing this, they launched their attacks. However, Diao Da's attack was too fast and too fierce.
His massive claws seemed capable of piercing through anything. With just one touch, he impaled the subordinate, and his momentum didn't lessen, directly striking Xu Kun!!
“Danger!!”
Xu Kun's adrenaline surged. His pupils widened. He never expected that his subordinate, whose strength was not much different from his own, would be no match for a single blow. Facing Diao Da's seemingly all-piercing giant claws, he instinctively wanted to flee!!
“Body, move for me!!”
He channeled all his strength into his legs, instantly bursting forth with astonishing speed, shooting backward.
“Trying to run!!!”
Red light flickered in Diao Da's eyes. If he let the opponent escape, he would lose face big time. If this got out, he wouldn't be able to mix in the Universe of Myriad Races.
With a resolve in his heart, he endured the attacks of the surrounding few, while his entire body glowed with black light. The next second, he vanished from the spot.
“The demon... where's the demon?”
In the astonished seconds of the crowd.
Diao Da suddenly appeared in front of Xu Kun, his body shimmering with mysterious runes, his massive claw carrying an irresistible force.
“Human insect!!”
“Dare to try and manipulate me?!”
“Die!!”
Xu Kun tried to resist, but all his strength was focused on his legs, leaving him powerless. He never expected the opponent to suddenly appear in front of him. Under these circumstances, he was no different from the subordinate before him, and was directly pierced through.
“！！！！”
Upon seeing this, everyone was horrified.
A wave of fear permeated their hearts.
Fortunately,
after killing the two, Diao Da vanished again, reappearing far away. However, he still coldly glanced at everyone!!
“！！！”
Terror...!! Fear...!!
What kind of technique is this?
Actually, they had been educated before coming here: among the Demon Race, there was the Sky Demon Sable Race, whose giant claws possessed astonishing attack power and an especially remarkable perception and application of dark elemental energy.
But no one told them!!
This thing can teleport?
Actually, this is a bit unfair to the Martial Gods. They could only roughly describe the racial talents of the Ten Thousand Races. As for the extent to which each individual could utilize them, or what variations existed, those were unknown. The Ten Thousand Races were not fixed NPCs; each member was an independent entity.
This is also why Jijiang emphasized the need to improve the Human Race's adaptability. Unfortunately, none of these individuals in front of them were the 'chosen ones'; the chosen ones all obediently stayed put.
................
Meanwhile, over here,
the bullet comments instantly decreased by more than half.
Only a portion of people were typing ‘???’, clearly not having anticipated what just happened, and Jijiang said with a slight sob:
“It's over!!”
“Big Brother fell!!”
