68: Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Matter of Life and Death... and a Rank of Success or Failure

Facing Lin Feng's blatant and reckless teasing, Bai Lu finally understood.

This deal was completely off.

They had met less than a few minutes ago,

and he already dared to ask her to be his mistress?

Who knew what even more outrageous conditions he would demand later.

"Calling you 'Captain Feng' is showing you respect,"

"but if I don't, you're nothing but a nobody!"

Who was she, Bai Lu?

Based on her looks, her suitors could circle the Blue Star twice.

Based on her background, even the Palace Master of the War God Palace would have to respectfully call her Miss Bai.

Who on earth gave you the courage

to dare to speak to me like this?

Just because you are the number one player in the tiny Blue Star Region?

Since they couldn't be friends,

then they could only be enemies.

She looked at Lin Feng, a cold sneer playing at the corner of her lips.

"It seems you aren't sincere. This makes things very difficult for me."

"Difficult? Then don't do it."

Lin Feng's reply was crisp and direct, just short of flipping the table.

Bai Lu's gaze turned cold. "Do you really want to oppose me?"

"Haha!" Lin Feng laughed out loud. "It's not me opposing you, but you opposing me!"

"You clearly knew that these idiots from the Baqi Family had a grudge against me, yet you still came to bribe me right in front of them."

"What do you take me for? Do I not fucking care about my reputation?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu shook her head helplessly. "At this point, words are useless. Today... if you want to fight, then fight. I will accompany you to the very end."

With that, she turned around elegantly and began to focus her attacks on the BOSS, no longer paying attention to Lin Feng and his group.

...

"Captain! What should we do now? Are we going to snatch the BOSS?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"Snatch the BOSS? Didn't you see the hundreds of people opposite us? Your small frame wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."

"You're so bad... How can you make such an analogy?" Liu Qingqing said shyly.

"Captain! Are we really just going to give up?"

Zhang Qinhong looked disappointed, her tone filled with unwillingness.

"While they are too busy to deal with us, you guys should retreat to the entrance first. Their goal is the BOSS, so they shouldn't waste time coming back for you."

"If we all leave, what about you?"

"Hehe," Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Me? Of course I'm going to snatch the BOSS. Let me complete this arduous and dangerous task alone."

"No way. Either we leave together, or we all stay. At worst, we die and lose a level."

Ye Weiyang's tone was very firm.

"Yeah, I'm not leaving."

"I'm not leaving either..."

Looking at their eyes, Lin Feng felt a strange wave of warmth.

"'A warrior departs, never to return.' 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.' Trust me! Only if I stay here alone can I fight without any distractions."

"But..." Liu Qingqing was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Mu Fan.

"No more buts. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late. The BOSS's HP is only at 40%. Once they kill the BOSS, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

"Trust me, I will come back alive."

Hearing Lin Feng's words,

Liu Qingqing was moved.

Zhang Qinhong was moved too.

It wasn't just simple emotion.

They were drawn in by Lin Feng's personal charisma.

He could be playful when it was time to play.

He could be domineering when it was time to be domineering.

And now, when it was time for sacrifice, he chose self-sacrifice without any hesitation.

One person fighting three hundred—they couldn't imagine any scenario where Lin Feng could survive.

If everyone on the opposing side just threw one skill, they would probably instantly kill him.

Noble... Truly noble!

Thinking of this, their eyes couldn't help but turn red at the same time.

Tears began to flow down their cheeks uncontrollably.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Feng was completely bewildered.

"Wait, sisters..."

"What are you guys doing?"

"I'm still perfectly fine..."

"Why does it feel like a final farewell?"

"If you want to be moved, wait until I'm actually gone!"

"With you guys acting like this, I'm starting to feel a chill down my spine. It's creepy!"

Could this be called...

"Dying before the battle has even begun"?

For a moment, Lin Feng didn't know how to comfort them and could only sigh to himself.

Just then, Ye Weiyang stepped forward and patted Lin Feng's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Brother Feng, do you remember what you just told me?"

"Damn! Aren't you making things hard for me? I said so many things just now, how could I remember all of them..."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. He was already annoyed enough, and now this guy was starting too?

Ye Weiyang looked speechless and said seriously, "You just said, 'Fear makes one stop, only courage allows one to move forward. We honest people don't look for trouble, but we aren't afraid of it either.' Those were your exact words. Now I'm giving them back to you."

"Uh... Did I really say something so profound?"

"Yes..." The two girls nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright!"

"Since the mood has built up to this point, let's put those words to the test."

Ye Weiyang smirked. "That's more like it! We should have done this long ago."

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing and Zhang Qinhong also wore relieved smiles.

"What's your EXP percentage right now?" Lin Feng asked Ye Weiyang.

"It's at 98%."

Ye Weiyang answered honestly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Very well... If we can win today, you will be the biggest contributor."

"Brother Feng, don't worry. I know what to do, and I definitely won't drag you down."

Liu Qingqing blinked her eyes and asked, "Then what should Sister Xiao Hong and I do?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze shifting to the dense crowd in the distance. "You guys stay at the maximum range and finish off low-HP enemies. Try not to get involved in the frontal battlefield."

Zhang Qinhong nodded. "Understood. We will manage our distance and strike when the opportunity arises."

After speaking, the two of them immediately retreated a few yards, maintaining a safe distance.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Bai Lu opposite them had already taken all of this in.

Although she didn't know what they were saying, she instantly read their intentions from their positioning and the fighting spirit in their eyes.

A cold smile curled on her lips.

"Since you are looking for death... don't blame me."

She immediately ordered, "Xiao Lan! Go draw the BOSS's aggro. The rest of you, don't hesitate, fall back!"

Beside her, Ba Qi Ce Lou showed some hesitation and asked, "Miss Bai, the BOSS's HP is almost depleted, and we're about to take it down. Why don't we wait a bit longer?"

"No... just to be safe, do as I say!"

"In a moment, everyone focus fire and kill God Slayer first. Once he is dead, the others will be nothing to fear."

She spoke very loudly, and the group on the opposite side naturally heard her.

Lin Feng's face darkened upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Originally, he had planned to disrupt their formation during the chaotic battle and use the BOSS's power to pin down his opponents. But now that the other party had proactively separated the battlefield, his plan had completely fallen through.

This woman was so smart... and so decisive. She actually abandoned the low-HP BOSS to pull out all her combat power to deal with them.

Since they couldn't borrow external strength, they could only choose to clash head-on.

He turned to look at the people beside him and said loudly, "Everyone, prepare to fight for your lives. This battle is destined to be brutal."

Ye Weiyang: "Don't worry, Brother Feng. I'll stand by your side to the very end."

Liu Qingqing: "By your side to the very end."

Zhang Qinhong: "By your side to the very end."

The three of them responded in unison, their voices firm and without a shred of hesitation.

"Good!"

Looking at them, a towering fighting spirit rose within Lin Feng.

"Today's battle!"

"Will decide life and death... as well as superiority!"

"Let's see who will be the one standing at the very end!"

...
