95: Su Yuan's off-field assistance

"Don't even think about it!"

At the critical moment, Wang Yi's eyes bulged with rage as he let out a thunderous roar!

He didn't have time to rush over to the rescue, but he had a faster method!

"Zzt—"

A thick bolt of lightning, like a wall appearing out of thin air, instantly interposed itself between 'Death' and Li Bingyao.

The violent power of thunder, carrying an aura of pure Yang and strength, caused Death's shadow-formed body to emit a series of sizzling, burning sounds.

Stung by the pain, he was forced to abandon his attack, retreating violently and merging back into the darkness.

Li Bingyao's face was deathly pale from fright as she slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.

In that moment just now, she had truly felt the descent of Death.

"Su Yuan!" Cold sweat broke out on Wang Yi's forehead as he growled anxiously into the team channel, "This guy is too slippery; we can't catch him at all! If this continues, he'll wear us down to Death! Is there any way?"

Inside the Command Center, Su Yuan's expression was also extremely grim.

He stared fixedly at the red energy source flickering through the shadows on the screen, his brain working at high speeds.

Conventional means were useless against him; physical attacks were hard to land, and the range of energy attacks wasn't large enough.

He had to find a way to counter this ability!

There it is!

Su Yuan's gaze suddenly shifted to the [Personal mall] on his system panel.

Since spending 170,000 national fortune points last time, his personal mall had unlocked even more high-level items due to the massive consumption rebate.

His consciousness swept rapidly through the dazzling array of items in the list.

[Gene Optimization Fluid]... No, distant water can't quench a nearby fire.

[High-Explosive Grenade]... No, the range is too small to hurt him.

[Holy Light Grenade]?

Su Yuan's eyes lit up; this one seemed possible!

But then he frowned; the Holy Light Grenade was a single-use consumable. If it didn't hit, it would be a waste. Moreover, they were currently on the defensive, making it difficult to find an opportunity for an active attack.

Was there a more direct and effective way?

His gaze continued downward until finally, a scroll emitting a soft golden light caught his attention.

[Skill Enhancement Scroll: Eye of Holy Light (Temporary)]

[Effect: Upon use, temporarily grants the target the ability to see through stealth, illusion, and shadow-type skills below Grade A.]

[Duration: 10 minutes.]

[Price: 5,000 personal points.]

This is it!

It was practically a custom-made nemesis for Death!

"Five thousand points..." Su Yuan looked at the price, feeling a pang of heartache.

This was money from his personal stash; unlike national fortune points, once it was spent, it was gone.

But after hesitating for only a fraction of a second, he made his decision.

"Dammit, money can be earned again, but if my brothers lose their lives, everything is gone! To kill this bastard who's playing god, it's worth whatever it costs!"

"Purchase!"

[personal points -5,000.]

[Item: Eye of Holy Light (Temporary) has been stored in personal warehouse.]

Without the slightest pause, Su Yuan immediately exercised his Administrator privileges.

"Using Administrator privileges to apply real-world skill enhancement to Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi!"

[Privilege confirmed... Enhancement beginning!]

A stream of golden data that only Su Yuan could see instantly shot out from the system panel in the Command Center, crossing the limits of physical space and precisely injecting into Wang Yi's body within the cold storage battlefield... inside the cold storage.

Wang Yi was focusing all his attention on guarding his surroundings when suddenly, he felt a warm and divine energy surge into his eyes.

His eyes burned as if they were being struck by sunlight.

He instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the world before him had completely changed.

The shadows that were originally pitch black and impossible to see through were no longer pure darkness in his vision.

He could clearly see a distorted, blurry humanoid silhouette emitting an ominous aura, moving silently within those dense shadows!

That silhouette was precisely Death!

Wang Yi's heart began to race!

"I... I see him!" he let out a low growl of suppressed excitement in the team channel.

At some point, his eyes had been covered with a faint golden glow, divine and majestic.

Death, who was searching for the next opportunity to attack within the shadows, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dread.

He felt as if he were being stared at by a pair of invisible eyes; no matter how he changed positions or merged with the darkness, he couldn't shake that feeling of being locked on.

What terrified him even more was that his proud shadow power actually began to become unstable under this gaze, as if snow had met a scorching sun, and was being rapidly weakened!

"How is this possible?!"

For the first time, a storm of shock raged in 'Death's' mind.

His stealth had actually been seen through?!

In the moment he was paralyzed by doubt and shock, Wang Yi's voice rang through the cold storage like a Death sentence.

"Chen Hu, three meters to the left, use all your strength and strike down!"

Although Chen Hu didn't know what was happening, out of absolute trust in Wang Yi, he executed the command without hesitation.

"Roar!"

He bellowed, channeling all his strength into his high-frequency battle blade and slashing fiercely at the empty patch of shadow Wang Yi had pointed out!

"Boom!"

Before the blade even arrived, the violent wind had already torn up all the ice on the ground.

Hidden within that shadow, Death was horrified to find all his paths of retreat sealed by this strike. He was forced to reveal himself from the shadows, rolling back clumsily to dodge the fatal blow.

But just as he regained his footing, Wang Yi's voice rang out again.

"Zhao Zihan! He's trying to escape through the ventilation duct on the ceiling, prepare to fire!"

Death was greatly alarmed. He looked up and sure enough, the duct opening he intended to vanish into was already firmly locked onto by an arrow ready to be released!

With Wang Yi acting as a human radar, the situation of the entire battlefield was instantly reversed!

Death was no longer the hunter hiding in the dark, but had instead become a rat trapped in a cage!

"Nice work!"

"Captain is awesome!"

The morale of the Dragon Team members soared. Under Wang Yi's precise command, they began a frantic encirclement of Death.

"Arghhh!"

Death let out a roar of indignation. He completely abandoned stealth and instead erupted with all his shadow energy, attempting a desperate last stand.

But it was too late.

Just as he was forced to reveal his true form by the combined attack of Chen Hu and Wang Yi,

A long-awaited arrow, infused with the power of wind, shot down precisely from a hole in the top of the cold storage like a meteor piercing the night!

"Puchi!"

The arrow hit Death squarely in the right shoulder, its immense piercing power pinning him firmly to a thick metal pipe!

The intense pain made him let out a beast-like howl.

Under everyone's gaze, his shadow-formed body began to distort violently, finally revealing his original appearance—a man with a face as pale as paper, black veins spider-webbing under his skin, and obvious signs of mechanical modification on his arms.

Wang Yi walked step by step toward Death, who was pinned to the wall, lightning dancing at his fingertips with a crackling sound.

His eyes were as cold as ice.

"The game is over."
