256: Besieged on all sides, desperate situation!

“This is troublesome now.”

Everyone’s gaze instantly shifted to the screen as Guan Chutian’s words fell.

On the screen, the people who were just conspiring had already split into two teams; one team was stealthily approaching the rooftop where Jiang Yuan and his companions were, while the other team was stealthily approaching the rooftop of the other group.

They had all been attacked by either Jiang Yuan or the other team earlier.

If it weren’t for the appearance of someone from Late Stage who made Jiang Yuan and his team change their target, they wouldn’t have entered the safe zone so easily.

However, even so, they were definitely going to get revenge on the guys who attacked them.

And now was a good time for revenge.

Although they didn't know the strength of the people on the rooftop, the strength of their current team should be sufficient.

If their strength was truly very strong, they wouldn’t be hiding in the distance, secretly using bows and arrows to prevent people from entering the safe zone.

Instead, they would be like some people, directly searching for and killing others throughout the city.

Therefore, she concluded that the strength of the guy on the roof who was secretly attacking others with a bow and arrow would definitely not be too strong.

The ten-person team began to move, but they didn’t make too much noise.

If they accidentally made too much noise and the opponent escaped, it would be quite troublesome.

The Four School Joint Examination battlefield is so vast, who knows when they would encounter each other next?

If the opponent was eliminated by someone else, they would feel even worse.

After all, it’s generally very difficult for ordinary people to bear the fact that their enemy was eliminated by someone else.

Especially when they themselves had the ability to eliminate their own enemy.

As they stealthily moved upwards, Wang Boqing and several other Students with Late Stage strength felt quite uncomfortable.

Wang Boqing had a Skill Card that could dispel abnormal statuses, but he couldn't use it at all.

As a one-time Skill Card, if he used it and was hit again by that lightning-attributed black arrow, he would fall into a paralyzed state again.

This was quite troublesome.

Since that was the case, it was better to remain still and wait for the opportune moment.

Once he found an opportunity, he would directly use the card to remove the paralysis effect from his body, and then prevent the opponent's lightning-attributed arrows from hitting him again, entering the safe zone in one fell swoop.

Although he thought so, Wang Boqing was still very annoyed at this moment.

Since his debut, when had his genius status ever made him suffer such grievances?

Being stuck outside the safe zone by others!

Feeling the continuous depletion of the Star Power within his body, Wang Boqing also looked up in the direction from which the black arrow had been shot.

He still had two Skill Cards left that could remove abnormal statuses.

This meant he still had two chances to break into the safe zone.

When he could enter the safe zone, he would definitely eliminate them!

Wang Boqing's long sword continuously parried the lightning-attributed arrows.

However, because the entire arrow was made of lightning Energy, even if it was parried, as long as he held the sword, the spread of the lightning could still put him in a paralyzed state.

“Damn it, you dog that only knows how to attack in the dark, have the guts to come one-on-one with your grandpa!”

It wasn’t just Wang Boqing; several other Students with Late Stage strength from different directions were also being held back in the poison zone by Zhao Gongming.

One of them, a muscular young man about three meters tall, covered in black fur, roared loudly.

He had no way to avoid lightning-attributed attacks and could only choose to endure them head-on.

Fortunately, the opponent's strength wasn't that strong, and the attacks they sent out didn't cause him too much damage.

At first, he was dismissive, but later he understood the opponent's intention.

The opponent wanted to use the lightning-attributed paralysis effect to trap him in the poison zone and let the rules eliminate him.

It was truly disgusting!

As a brawny man accustomed to physical confrontation, this kind of behavior was the most nauseating to him.

Of course, this kind of behavior also made him the most irritable and helpless.

Just like now, he had absolutely no solution.

He could only press forward, enduring the attacks of the lightning-attributed arrows.

But now there was still nearly 5km to the safe zone, could he endure it?

If he could endure it, he wouldn't have roared that loudly just now.

“Now!”

When they were about four kilometers away from the safe zone, Wang Boqing and the other four Students with Late Stage strength their eyes lit up, and then a blue quality card appeared in their hands.

Of course, while the five people made the same movement, they didn't do it at the exact same time.

Both Wang Boqing and the other four Students with Late Stage strength were looking for Zhao Gongming’s attack frequency.

Just now, after a period of adaptation, they also found Zhao Gongming’s attack frequency.

After all, Zhao Gongming needed to restrict the advance of seven people, and each person attacked would take turns to the next person.

Although his attack speed was very fast, within the attack interval of the seven people, the opponent would still find an opportunity.

Just like now, the black lightning arrow hit again, and Wang Boqing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The opponent’s attack frequency was roughly less than once per second.

That is to say, the opponent would attack him again after six seconds.

And these six seconds were the time he could escape from the current situation.

Two cards appeared in Wang Boqing’s hand, and blue and purple light shone simultaneously in his hand.

In just an instant, the faint electric arcs shimmering on Wang Boqing’s body had already disappeared.

At the same time, a special yellow Energy also appeared on Wang Boqing's body, enveloping him as he entered the ground.

Blue quality Skill Card: [Earth Walking Technique]!

That's right, it was the [Earth Walking Technique] made by Jiang Yuan!

Not only did Wang Boqing have it, but the two people just now also had it in their hands!

Theoretically speaking, basically everyone among the seven people attacked by Jiang Yuan would have one or several Skill Cards that could remove the adrenaline-restricting effect.

But only these five could successfully escape from the current predicament.

Because even if the other two could remove the restrictive effects on their bodies, they would be continuously attacked by endless lightning-attributed arrows, falling into a paralyzed state again.

But Wang Boqing and the other five were different; they had other cards that could prevent them from being attacked by lightning-attributed arrows again.

Wang Boqing, like the other two, had the [Earth Walking Technique] card in his hand.

So, after removing the restrictive state from their bodies, the three of them directly used the [Earth Walking Technique] to enter the ground, avoiding Zhao Gongming's attacks.

Of the other two, one person, after removing the restrictive effect on his body, again flashed purple light in his hand, and an Energy barrier also appeared in front of him.

The purpose of this Energy barrier was to nullify the restrictive effects of the opponent's attacks.

However, because it had a duration, he had to wait until he was a certain distance from the safe zone before using it.

This way, he could ensure that he could enter the safe zone while the skill lasted.

Besides him, there was another person for the same reason.

However, unlike him, the card the opponent used directly immunized all negative effects of attacks.

Whether it was restrictive or Curse-like, even slowing effects had no effect on him.

From then on, the five of them completely disregarded Zhao Gongming's attacks and began to rush into the safe zone with full force.

As for the other two, even if Zhao Gongming ignored them now, they would still die in the poison zone because they couldn't immunize themselves from the restrictive effects on their bodies.

Although they had one or two, or even several, cards that could remove the restrictive status from their bodies.

But Zhao Gongming wouldn't ignore them.

“Oh no, get ready to run!”

Seeing that five people had actually broken their method, Mu Qianshan couldn't help but panic a little.

“But did someone sell your three life-saving sets outside the school? How come I saw three unfamiliar people also using Earth Walking Technique?”

“Earth Walking Technique?”

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Mu Qianshan somewhat strangely.

“Don’t look at me like that, it wasn’t me who sold the three life-saving sets outside the school, it must be someone else acting as a reseller!”

Seeing Jiang Yuan's gaze, Mu Qianshan quickly spoke to prove himself.

“It’s too hateful, I always feel like these guys earn more than me.”

“Alright, stop complaining. Since I’ve already handed it over to you, of course I won’t ask any more questions.”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “But since I can sell the three life-saving sets, I naturally have a way to deal with them.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, a purple quality card appeared in his hand.

“I don’t think we need to run away for now.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, purple light shone, and then there was nothing else.

Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan in a daze: “Hmm, so, what were you doing just now? What was the effect of the card you just used?”

“You’ll know in a moment.”

Jiang Yuan revealed a mysterious smile on his face, but he didn't tell Mu Qianshan the specific situation.

“Bang!”

Mu Qianshan was about to press for answers when he suddenly heard a dull thud.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Subsequently, two more similar but slightly different dull thuds sounded again, and Mu Qianshan also looked strangely in the direction of the sound.

“Hey, why did those three suddenly come out?”

Mu Qianshan was a little strange: “I remember your Earth Walking Technique seems to have a long range, at least eight kilometers, which isn’t enough for them to enter the safe zone.”

“But why would they appear outside the safe zone?”

“Yeah, did they hit something?”

“Could it be related to the purple quality card Jiang Yuan just used?”

Not only was Mu Qianshan a little strange, but even the four Vice Principals who were watching this scene were also equally strange.

Guan Chutian said curiously, then turned to look at Li Yueying.

The other three Vice Principals were also the same.

No way, who made Li Yueying Jiang Yuan’s master?

“I really don’t know.”

Li Yueying rubbed her forehead again, lowering her head.

She also didn't know why this action had become so practiced during the short one-day Four School Joint Examination.

God knows how many times she had made this gesture.

But she really didn't know.

Seeing Li Yueying like this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and continue to look at Jiang Yuan on the screen.

Jiang Yuan didn't disappoint them and explained to Mu Qianshan's confusion.

“This is another set of my Skill Cards, one of the Thirty-Six Transformations.”

“Point Earth to Steel, specifically used to counter Earth Walking Technique.”

Jiang Yuan smiled: “When I said the three life-saving sets could be sold, I had already thought about making this card.”

“People, they always have to leave a way out for themselves.”

“Awesome!”

Mu Qianshan silently gave a thumbs up, then lowered his head again to look at the three people less than a kilometer from the safe zone.

“But can we still stop them from entering the safe zone now?”

The purple light curtain was on Mu Qianshan’s face, which meant that if the opponent entered the safe zone, they would come for them immediately.

If they couldn't eliminate the opponent outside the safe zone, they should be running now.

“A thousand meters, should be no problem, right?” Jiang Yuan said somewhat uncertainly.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming's lightning arrow hit again, adding another paralysis effect to the opponent.

While attacking them, Zhao Gongming was also aiming at the two people in the distance.

At the very least, he had to ensure that those two people couldn't enter the safe zone, keeping them in a paralyzed state.

But these five people…

Three used [Earth Walking Technique] and were forced to hang up first, then powerful attack skills were used to attack the remaining two who were immune to negative effects.

However…

“Let’s cooperate and go up to eliminate the opponent first.”

Wang Boqing looked at the black lightning arrow that shot over again, made a decisive decision, and spoke to the three people beside him.

Although he didn't know why the [Earth Walking Technique] failed, the top priority now was to enter the safe zone first.

Revenge!

Other things could be discussed after revenge was done!

As Wang Boqing spoke, to show his sincerity, he directly stepped forward and blocked the black arrow that was originally aimed at another person.

“I’ll block first, you guys rush forward.”

After Wang Boqing finished speaking, the other two nodded and rushed forward.

When Wang Boqing couldn't catch up with them due to the paralysis effect, he would use a Skill Card that could remove the abnormal status from his body.

At this time, another person would take turns to block the arrows.

The three cooperated like this and quickly rushed into the safe zone.

“Run!”

Seeing the three rush in, and the guy with the sword they had encountered before was also inside, Jiang Yuan immediately spoke to Mu Qianshan without hesitation.

However, as soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the rooftop door opened.

“Run? I don’t think you can run away!”

The leading short-haired girl sneered and said to Jiang Yuan.

“It was fun attacking us from the rooftop just now, now it’s our turn.”

“Jump down!”

However, Jiang Yuan completely ignored the other party, even though the short-haired girl was quite pretty.

“We meet again.”

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, three figures appeared on the rooftop railing.

When Wang Boqing saw Jiang Yuan and his companions, a smile appeared on his face as he spoke to them.

However, the smile on his face looked like a cold, displeased sneer no matter how you looked at it.

“Uh, everyone, calm down, do you believe me if I say this is a misunderstanding?”
