282: Chapter 282 Gou Fugui: My life is over!

"Everyone."

Lu Xingye's voice was low and hoarse, imbued with an intensely heavy sense of epic destiny:

"What I just witnessed... is the darkest, filthiest scene in this Forbidden Zone No. 009!"

Hearing this, his underlings couldn't help but gasp, all of them holding their breath.

Lu Xingye pointed abruptly toward the towering flames in the distance. His tone was extremely grief-stricken and impassioned as he began his ultimate pyramid-scheme-style brainwashing speech:

"On the land ahead, consumed by the flames of war! The top students of the four major universities, representing the old order of this world, have actually formed an extremely evil Four Emperors Alliance just to monopolize the ultimate treasure of this secret realm!"

"And now, they are chasing down two unarmed, yet fate-favored civilian contestants without any bottom line!"

"Just because the two of them are too weak and lack a background, must they be targeted like this?"

"No! This is unfair! This group of prodigies standing on a mountain of gold isn't willing to yield even a shred of resources to us commoners!"

"They are afraid, they fear us ordinary people, because we possess the courage to fight against fate, which they lack!"

"They attempt to use power and violence to trample all ordinary people who try to break their monopoly and pursue fairness!"

"They think that by doing this, they can forever occupy the pinnacle of resources and keep us down forever! But they are wrong! Dead wrong! The strength of us commoners may be small, but when we unite, twisting into a single rope, we are enough to shake their seemingly solid mountain of gold!"

"Today, they are hunting Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian, and tomorrow, they will hunt every single member of our Xingye Coalition! Because in their eyes, all of us commoners without backgrounds are just stepping stones for them to reach higher, to be trampled at will!"

The more Lu Xingye spoke, the more excited he became, and two lines of tears even streamed from the corners of his eyes.

"What?!"

The twenty-something newbie underlings of the Xingye Coalition listened, their eyes splitting with rage, their blood surging!

Under Lu Xingye's extremely inflammatory and logically tight brainwashing, the frantic, disheveled figures of Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian were instantly elevated in their minds to "the hope for ordinary cultivators to change their fate"!

"Too shameless! Can the prodigies of prestigious schools just bully people like this?!"

"At worst, we just crush the jade tablet and get eliminated! Who's afraid of who!"

Seeing that the underlings' anger had been successfully ignited, Lu Xingye let out a "clang" and pulled the long blade from his waist with extreme flair!

The pitch-black blade pointed directly at the core battlefield where the sky was crumbling and the earth was splitting!

"Brothers! Comrades!"

Lu Xingye roared at the sky, his voice filled with an extreme madness capable of severing everything:

"They have noble backgrounds and endless resources! But we have souls that will never yield!!!"

"Today! I shall lead you to tear apart this hypocritical firmament! To crush the proud bones of those four so-called prodigies! To save those two children of hope who are struggling to hold on!"

"Xingye Coalition!!!"

Lu Xingye gripped his blade with both hands, the veins on his forehead bulging, and let out the ultimate battle cry that shook the valley:

"For justice! For bonds! Follow me... charge!!!"

"Charge—!!!"

"For justice! For Alliance Leader Lu!!!"

Boom!

The twenty-something rogue cultivators and small academy contestants, who were originally mediocre and timid as mice, were completely deprived of their reason at this moment, dosed by this bowl of "chuunibyou toxic chicken soup"!

Their eyes were bloodshot, and one by one, they were howling as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Following the back of the figure in the tattered windbreaker, they charged from the extremely hidden flank of the hillside, their momentum like a rainbow as they rushed toward the shura battlefield belonging to the top Peak Fourth-Order big shots!

"Huff... huff... Batian, I can't do it anymore... my lungs are about to explode..."

In the dense primeval jungle, Gou Fugui was carried over Xiang Batian's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. With Xiang Batian's wild running pace, he was shaken until he was dizzy, his gold-rimmed glasses only staying on because he was gripping them tightly with two fingers to keep them from flying off.

Xiang Batian was also sweating profusely at this moment, his pride-and-joy muscular physique trembling wildly.

Although he had used every ounce of his strength, how could two legs outrun those flying in the sky in the face of an absolute difference in cultivation level?

Fortunately, the four "pursuers" behind were also keeping each other in check, which allowed them to escape for so long without being caught.

However, the gap in cultivation level was still too large; even so, they were almost at their limit.

Behind them, that terrifying heat wave capable of boiling rivers and seas was getting closer and closer, and even the air behind them was visibly distorting due to the extreme temperature!

"You second-hand-selling scoundrel! Even if you run to the ends of the earth today, this young lady will burn you into a charcoal briquette!!!"

In mid-air, Qin Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot, and she was surrounded by brilliant golden flames.

Looking at the two extremely disheveled figures ahead, she raised her jade hand without hesitation, and a fireball capable of leveling a small hill compressed wildly in her palm!

It looked like this world-destroying strike was about to descend.

Gou Fugui had even resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes, his fingers clutching the death-immunity jade tablet in his pocket.

Just at this critical moment!

"Crazy woman! You destroyed my formation, and today I refuse to let you have your way!"

From behind, a figure in white stepping on a formation arrived in a rage!

Although the blind genius Yan Qinghuan could not see, his spiritual power was extremely sharp.

His hands formed seals frantically, and a dozen white jade chess pieces exploded outward like bullets!

"Eight Trigrams Coiling Dragon Formation! Seal!"

"Hum—!"

A thick, cyan formation light barrier instantly rose from the ground in front of Qin Zhuo, acting like a wall of sighs and tyrannically blocking her path!

"Dead blind man! Are you ever going to stop?! Get out of my way!!!"

Qin Zhuo was about to go crazy with anger!

She only wanted to kill the keyboard warrior who called her a "roasted native chicken" online, but this blind man was pestering her like a piece of dog-skin plaster!

Boom!

Qin Zhuo completely lost it, the Divine Phoenix Fire on her body firing at full power, transforming into a screeching fire phoenix that slammed violently into the cyan light barrier!

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of shattering, the formation that Yan Qinghuan had hastily set up only lasted for two seconds before being overturned and melted by the extreme heat!

"Pfft!" Under the backlash of the formation, Yan Qinghuan let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale.

But Qin Zhuo couldn't be bothered to retaliate against Yan Qinghuan; her gaze locked tightly past the broken light barrier onto Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian, who were preparing to slip away in the chaos.

"Die!!!"

Qin Zhuo shouted angrily, and the Divine Phoenix Fireball that had been compressed to the extreme, carrying a terrifying, destructive momentum, smashed directly toward the two men's backs!

Feeling the fatal crisis coming from behind, Gou Fugui felt a chill down his spine and cried out: "My life is at an end—!"
