285: Chapter 285 The War of the Gods in Forbidden Zone No. 009

"Cough, cough..."

Lu Xingye landed on a rock, looking extremely awkward.

Looking at the battlefield, which had been smashed to pieces by his own move, and the murderous glares from those around him, Lu Xingye forced himself to swallow, then flicked his cape with extreme bravado:

"The rage of the Black Flame knows no friend or foe! This is the fate of those who attempt to block the Wheel of Destiny!"

Meanwhile, at the National Martial Arts Competition Center outside, the stands holding one hundred thousand people were in a complete uproar!

Watching the ultimate brawl on the big screen that rivaled a "battle of the gods," the audience was flushed with excitement, waving their glow sticks frantically, their screams threatening to tear the sky apart.

"This is so satisfying! Damn, this is so satisfying to watch!"

"It hasn't even been an hour since the start, and experts from all sides are popping out one after another like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather! They're fighting until the sky turns dark!"

"These tickets were worth every penny, a total steal!!!"

At the commentary booth, the two official commentators were spitting with excitement, roaring hoarsely into their microphones, going out of their way to hype up Lu Xingye's performance:

"Incredible! Simply incredible!"

"Magic City Martial Arts University Team 2 Captain, Lu Xingye! This indiscriminate, large-scale area-of-effect attack, known as 'Black Flame Dance,' has actually forced back three Peak Fourth-Order peerless masters simultaneously!"

"Listen to his battle cry just now! 'The rage of the Black Flame knows no friend or foe!' To break the stalemate, he even included his own subordinates in the attack range! What an overbearing, what a resolute, mutually destructive strategy!"

"Magic City Martial Arts University is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! Who would have thought that beneath Captain Lu's chuunibyou exterior lay such terrifying, hidden strength and a crazed mentality!!!"

Accompanied by the commentators' extremely professional and highly inflammatory praise, the one hundred thousand spectators instantly felt a sense of awe for Lu Xingye and erupted into thunderous applause!

However, Principal Pang Ban of Magic City Martial Arts University, sitting in the VIP box, listened to the commentary that seemed intent on blowing Lu Xingye up to the heavens, then looked at Lu Xingye on the big screen, who was feigning composure while his legs were actually trembling with embarrassment.

Principal Pang Ban's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, his old face flushed red, his expression extremely strange and twisted, carrying a sense of extreme constipation that made him want to dig a hole and hide on the spot.

Hidden strength, my ass!!!

The old man roared crazily in his heart: "That little brat definitely lost his balance trying to pull off a flashy downward slash pose in mid-air, didn't even aim properly, and just slashed wildly off-target!!!"

"He even shaved his own subordinate's hair! Is that being resolute? Is that a mutually destructive strategy?! That's clearly because he's missing half his brain stem, and his aim is as shitty as dog dung!"

"If this commentator keeps blowing smoke like this, this old man is going to die of embarrassment on the spot!!!"

Regardless of the inhumane psychological torture Principal Pang was enduring outside, at this very moment, in the secret battlefield of Forbidden Zone No. 009, the previously clear-cut chase had instantly undergone a terrifying chemical reaction due to the aggressive intervention of Lu Xingye, that "peerless shit-stirrer" radiating endless light!

Qin Zhuo wanted to kill Gou Fugui. Chu Tiankuo and Helan Que wanted the "great treasure" on Gou Fugui. Yan Qinghuan wanted an explanation from Qin Zhuo. And Lu Xingye, with twenty subordinates, had arrogantly hacked at all four of these top prodigies!

"Magic City Martial Arts University! You bunch of lunatics have gone too far!"

Chu Tiankuo and Helan Que exchanged a glance, unable to endure this humiliation any longer. With perfect tacit understanding, they turned their weapons, and a Deep Sea Heavy Sword and a sky full of wild sand swept violently toward Lu Xingye!

"Kill this show-off with the sword first! Then take the great treasure!"

Yan Qinghuan and Qin Zhuo also settled old and new grudges together, pouring out various formation compasses and Divine Phoenix Fireballs onto the battlefield as if they were free!

Boom! Boom! Boom! In an instant, the entire basin turned into a chaotic mess where no one could tell who was hitting whom! Skills flew everywhere, screams and roars filled the air, and the battle was so intense it felt like the sky was collapsing and the earth was shattering!

Just as the battlefield reached a fever pitch, with even the air wailing from the impact, "Thump! Thump! Thump!" In the distance, large swaths of the primeval forest collapsed with a roar, as if crushed by a bulldozer! The ground trembled violently!

"What's going on? More experts?!" The people in the midst of the chaotic battle were shocked. Through the sky full of dust and smoke, a team of figures wearing the white uniforms of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University was rushing over like a violent war chariot, following the massive commotion.

The person leading them wore white clothes and heavy black-rimmed glasses, but his eyes radiated a scarlet, bloodthirsty, and terrifying light like an abyss demon! It was none other than the Imperial Capital Team 2 Captain—Captain Shen Xiuan—who had been driven to the "brink of berserk" by Jiang You and was searching the entire map for Magic City Martial Arts University!

As soon as Captain Shen Xiuan rushed out of the forest, his scarlet eyes pierced through the thick dust and smoke with extreme precision. He immediately spotted Lu Xingye at the edge of the battlefield, wearing the eye-catching "Magic City Martial Arts University black and gold uniform," waving his long sword like a madman, with Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian protected behind him!

"Magic City Martial Arts University..." "Jiang You's lackeys!!!" Old and new grudges erupted like a volcano in Captain Shen Xiuan's mind at this moment! The memory of being humiliated by Jiang You using "Rank Suppression" at Zhaixing Tower last night pierced his nerves like poisonous thorns!

"Go to hell, all of you!!!" Captain Shen Xiuan didn't even waste a word! A beast-like roar erupted from his throat, and he instantly activated [Asura War Soul] to a 200% extreme overload state!

Dark red Asura blood-evil aura soared into the sky, wrapping him up like a peerless evil god crawling out of the Avici Hell! "Kill!!!" Captain Shen Xiuan drew a blood-colored long sword and, leading all the members of Imperial Capital Team 2, charged into this top-tier battlefield that was already a complete mess, like a heavy dump truck that had lost its mind, crashing in indiscriminately!

"Boom!!!!" At this moment, the world changed color! With the entry of Captain Shen Xiuan, the "Asura Killing God," top combatants from five major academies—the brightest batch of prodigies in the world—had all absurdly gathered in this deep pit basin due to a series of ridiculous coincidences, misjudgments, and trash talk!

No tactics! No alliances! No reasoning! Everyone's eyes were red with killing intent! Within their line of sight, everyone was an enemy! The screen was filled with red-eye effects, golden Divine Phoenix Fire, dark red Asura aura, deep blue sword pressure, and a sky full of yellow sand, weaving together an extremely abstract yet spectacular painting of destruction! Forbidden Zone No. 009, less than an hour into the match, had directly ushered in an unprecedented "Twilight of the Gods"!!!
