294: Chapter 294 Alliance Leader Lu's God-Level Rampage!

With the extremely explosive departure of the two great experts, Qin Zhuo and Yan Qinghuan, the atmosphere in this scarred basin battlefield became increasingly bizarre.

Helan Que, standing amidst the sand-filled sky, was currently knitting his brows tightly.

He ignored the surrounding contestants who were still whispering and gossiping, instead staring fixedly in the direction where Zhao Zhenlei's voice had come from, his Brain performing an extremely thrilling "ultimate deduction"!

"Jiang You... Magic City Martial Arts University... a scumbag who steals women..."

Helan Que stroked his chin, and in his eyes, as cunning as a lone wolf's, a terrifyingly sharp glint suddenly erupted!

"Wait!!!"

Helan Que gasped sharply, as if enlightened, and instantly understood the entire "cause and effect"!

"Magic City Martial Arts University! Those two nooblets who ran away were also wearing Magic City Martial Arts University uniforms!"

"What did Zhao Zhenlei shout just now? He said Jiang You's teammate had already been defeated by him and was being held in his hands!"

Helan Que's breathing instantly became extremely rapid; he slapped his thigh, letting out a thunderous roar in his heart:

"I get it! I get it all!"

"What 'stealing a brother's woman'? What 'personal vendetta'? That was all a smokescreen Zhao Zhenlei deliberately released to deceive people!"

In Helan Que's airtight, almost "logic genius" level imagination, the truth of the matter was this:

Those two Magic City nooblets carrying a "world-shaking treasure" had unfortunately run into Zhao Zhenlei's Northern Border Military Academy team while fleeing and were directly intercepted by Zhao Zhenlei!

Zhao Zhenlei had obtained the treasure, but fearing that Jiang You, this "peerless demon king," would stir up trouble from the shadows, he deliberately fabricated an extremely cliché "gossip about stealing a woman," attempting to use a provocation tactic to force Jiang You out so he could wipe them all out and monopolize the opportunity!

"What a brilliant feint! What a clever deception! People from the Northern Border are indeed deep and calculating!"

The more Helan Que thought about it, the more he felt he was a truly brilliant genius.

He suddenly looked up in the direction where Qin Zhuo and Yan Qinghuan had disappeared, a cold, mocking sneer curling the corners of his lips:

"No wonder Qin Zhuo and Yan Qinghuan, who were fighting tooth and nail just a moment ago, stopped fighting entirely after hearing Zhao Zhenlei's shout and rushed after him in such a hurry!"

"They weren't going to hunt down some keyboard warrior! They clearly also saw through Zhao Zhenlei's scheme and went to snatch that world-shaking treasure!"

"No! This thick soup that can make one ascend in a single step—my Kuangsha Academy must have a taste today!"

Helan Que's eyes were filled with fanaticism and greed; he no longer cared about the rules of the melee.

Boom!

He instantly transformed into an extremely violent tornado of sand, whipping up dust across the sky, and decisively departed from the battlefield, like a desert poisonous dragon that had smelled blood, racing wildly toward the location where Zhao Zhenlei was.

...

Meanwhile.

Watching the Peak Fourth-Order big shots leave the battlefield one after another without hesitation.

The hundreds of talented students from various schools and independent contestants remaining on the spot looked at each other, not knowing where to put the weapons in their hands.

"Buddy..."

The captain who had been holding a blade to someone's throat just a moment ago awkwardly withdrew his weapon and scratched his head:

"What's the situation now? This fight... are we still going to have it?"

The other contestant who had been under the blade expertly patted the dirt off his butt and stood up, rolling his eyes:

"Fight my ass! Didn't you see those first-team leaders all running over there?"

"Exactly!" A burly man carrying a large hammer nearby leaned in, his face full of excitement, his eyes burning with a raging fire of gossip:

"That place has gathered the absolute main forces of the five top universities: Imperial Capital, Northern Border, Shushan, Kuangsha, and Magic City! Not only is there an epic Shura field for competing over heavenly treasures, but there's also the ultimate high-society cliché drama of 'Magic City Twin Stars Breaking Up for Love'!"

"Isn't that way more interesting than us brawling here like thugs?!"

"Let's go, let's go! Let's all go together! Even if my death-immunity jade tablet breaks and I get eliminated today, I have to grab a front-row VIP seat to watch this, and get to the bottom of this earth-shattering gossip!"

"Right! Let's go watch the gossip! Even if I can't grab a nameplate, grabbing a front-row seat is good enough!"

In an instant!

This super melee battlefield, which had originally been fighting with such intensity that it felt like the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking, and was known as "Ragnarok," was, in an absurd turn of events...

Peacefully! Disbanded!

No referee blew a whistle, and no mentor intervened.

It was solely because of that incredibly malicious "map broadcast" from Zhao Zhenlei and everyone's restless desire for gossip.

Hundreds of martial arts talents from all over Daxia, who were supposed to be dominating the secret realm,

were now, with tacit understanding, putting away their weapons, arm-in-arm like a group of old men heading to the market, or like a pack of violent sharks that had smelled the scent of blood!

They converged into an extremely massive stream of people, marching forward in a mighty force, all rushing madly toward the location where Zhao Zhenlei was!

On the basin battlefield, the Divine Phoenix Fire and the raging sand that had originally blocked out the sky gradually subsided as their masters departed.

"Alliance Leader Lu, should we..."

A captain from another academy, who had been accidentally saved by Lu Xingye during the melee and had since fully transformed into a "die-hard lackey," trotted over to Lu Xingye's side, looking hesitant.

He had originally wanted to ask, since those first-team big shots had all gone to watch the "stealing a woman" drama, shouldn't our "Xingye Coalition" also follow them and get a piece of the action?

However, before he could finish his sentence, his voice got stuck in his throat.

Because he discovered with horror that Lu Xingye, who was standing on the spot, had undergone a change in temperament.

"Boom!"

Without any warning, a jet-black, viscous, ink-like Black Flame suddenly surged from the hem of Lu Xingye's tattered trench coat!

The flame carried not a shred of temperature, yet it exuded a heart-palpitating dead silence and madness.

What terrified everyone even more was that Lu Xingye's martial arts aura began to climb wildly at an exponential rate!

Early Fourth-Order...

Mid Fourth-Order...

Late Fourth-Order...

In just a few short breaths, the space around Lu Xingye was faintly distorting due to the violent Black Flame, and his aura was forcefully pushed to the Peak Fourth-Order, even infinitely close to a Tier 5 Grandmaster!

"Holy... holy crap!"

The lackey was blown several meters away by the shockwave, his face full of horror.

"Could it be that Alliance Leader Lu wasn't just bragging all the time? Is there... really a legendary Black Flame Dragon capable of destroying the world sealed inside him?!"

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lu Xingye slowly raised his head.

In that single eye, which had been bruised black and blue by Principal Pang Ban and previously looked somewhat comical, there was no longer any of the usual clarity, only endless depth and surging fury.

"Goddess..."

Lu Xingye murmured as if in a dream, his voice raspy like two pieces of rusty metal rubbing against each other: "Goddess... is she in danger?!"

"Huh?" The lackey was stunned. "Alliance Leader Lu, what did you say?"

The next second, Lu Xingye's unfocused eye suddenly sharpened!

In that instant, it was as if a black dragon had opened its eyes within his single eye, and a nearly tangible murderous intent soared into the sky, directly shattering a layer of clouds overhead!

"Goddess... is in danger!!!"

Lu Xingye turned abruptly, an unprecedented, extreme madness erupting from his single eye.

He roared at the group of confused "Xingye Coalition" lackeys behind him who still didn't understand the situation, his voice shrill yet full of vigor:

"All troops, listen up! Abandon all targets! Follow me... to save my beloved!"

"Those who block me—die!!!"
