What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 974 Bai Wan Makes His First Move, the Pressure from Spicy Hot Pot

When Bai Wan and the others arrived at the square, a voice simultaneously rang in their minds.

Welcome to the Duel Arena. Once one team is eliminated, the portal will open.

Only two teams can pass; afterward, completing the mini-game will reward you with a clown gem.

Su Yuening and Bai Wan exchanged a glance and understood the situation. There were three teams in total, but only two teams could get a spot in the mini-game.

This spot is essential, because you can get a gem by completing the next mini-game. In the preliminary round, you only need to collect two clown gems and reach the final location required by the game to pass the preliminary round and enter the semi-finals.

Nebula, the leader of the Justice Partners squad, looked tense, her hands clenched into fists.

What terrible luck!

It's already difficult to deal with just one ruthless squad of wanted criminals, but now there's the Spicy Hot Pot, one of the Eight Great Evils. Although it's ranked last, it's still one of the Eight Great Evils.

Their strength was not that great to begin with, and they were no match for two wanted criminal teams.

"Bo'er, is your sister's team nearby?" Nebula asked a nervous-looking little girl behind him, his face grim.

"My sister isn't here. She sent me a message. She's quite a distance away... She won't be able to get here anytime soon." Lin Bo'er was extremely nervous at the moment, and her words were even somewhat broken.

Her older sister, Ling Yun, was the vice-captain of the Dragon Knight Li Bing squad. The Dragon Knight squad was a powerful righteous team. In the current situation, only the Dragon Knights coming to their aid could give them a chance to survive. Unfortunately, they were too far away. By the time Li Bing and the others arrived, they had already died at the hands of these two teams of wanted criminals.

The ruthless villainous team was led by a somewhat sinister-looking middle-aged man with one eye, who was looking at Bai Wan and his group with suspicion.

Mala Xiang Guo? One of the eight evils.

"Hmph, they're just using the title of one of the Eight Evils. Our team is strong enough to defeat them and take their place. There's no need to be afraid of them."

Behind the one-eyed captain is a man wielding a bone sword. His name is Malatang, and he enjoys making swords from the bones of his victims. He is also a rather perverted serial killer.

The ruthless killer squad is a newly formed villainous team, but each member is extremely vicious. The reason they didn't get a spot on the Eight Great Evils list is simply because they are new to the team and lack experience. They believe they are not much weaker than the lowest-ranked members of the Eight Great Evils.

So they weren't too nervous when faced with the spicy hot pot.

Besides, there are two spots available; all we need to do is eliminate this poor righteous guy.

The one-eyed captain revealed a cruel smile, looking at Nebula, Lin Bo'er, and the others as if they were sheep, and spoke:
"You guys are really unlucky... Why don't you commit suicide so you don't have to feel despair, hahahaha."

"None of us will commit suicide. Even if the team is wiped out, we'll drag one of you down with us." Nebula clenched his fist, holding the strange artifact in his hand. At this moment, he no longer cared about living.

Even so, we must severely damage either the Spicy Hot Pot team or the ruthless killer squad so that it will be easier for the good guys to defeat them next.

"Let's risk it. The Dragon Knights' team is nearby. If we can reduce their numbers, we can eventually ask Bo'er's sister to take down these two wanted criminal teams in front of us," said one of the members of the opposing team.

The one-eyed captain then turned his gaze to Bai Wan and the others, saying:
“There are two spots available, one for each of us. Let’s slaughter this squad together. Maratang, go and take their heads. We’ll support you from behind!”

Bai Wan and the others remained silent, while Xiang Cai, who was lurking among them, became somewhat nervous. Although the opposing team in front of her was not from her country, they shared a sense of camaraderie as fellow righteous individuals. Unfortunately, there was nothing Xiang Cai could do about it.

Her infiltration of the Mala Xiangguo team by herself was insignificant, since the enemy had two wanted criminal squads, putting them at a disadvantage in terms of manpower. Even if she made a move, it would be useless and would only waste the opportunity to infiltrate.

So Cilantro clenched her fists and could only watch as Mara Thong, wielding his bone sword, charged swiftly towards the Nebula's people.

Wow!
A chilling aura emanated from Maratham, while the other wanted criminals used their respective abilities behind him, preparing to capture Nebula and the others in one fell swoop.

"Let's fight!" A look of desperation appeared in the eyes of Xingyun Linboer and the others, ready to fight to the death and exchange one life for another.

At that moment, the world seemed to freeze, the entire world shook as if a network had crashed. The next second, Malatang, who had been leaping into the air, suddenly changed his expression, because a figure had appeared beneath him—a black-haired boy with a lazy expression.

"What? Impossible?!"

Mala Tang was startled, a look of disbelief on his face. Weren't these the members of Mala Xiang Guo? How did they get here so quickly? Their speed was incredible!

And this doesn't seem to be teleportation...

Just a moment ago, he was in a daze, as if time had slowed down, and then the other person appeared in front of him in a flash.

"So fast! What kind of ability is this?" Unlike the calm Su Yuening and the others, Yun Xin'er's eyes showed a look of surprise.

Just a moment ago, time seemed to slow down for everyone. In this realm, only Bai Wan was in an accelerated state, and she instantly appeared next to Mala Tang.

Maratang was also taken aback, then a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but he knew that it was aimed at him.

Holding a bone sword that exuded a chilling aura, he swiftly turned and thrust it towards Bai Wan.

This is a fusion of human bones he extracted from the victim's body and a curse-level bizarre artifact. It is also his greatest trump card. Everything that is stabbed will be corroded, and even the soul will not be able to escape.

"die!"

With murderous intent on his face, Malatang thrust his bone sword toward Bai Wan, but to his surprise, Bai Wan remained nonchalant, and then his right hand reached out to him out of thin air.

"you wanna die?"

Maraton's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent and mockery. "Touch my sword with your hand, you..."

"What???"

Mara Tang's pupils contracted, a look of disbelief flashing across his eyes as he watched helplessly as his right hand touched his bone sword directly.

But the next second, with a crack, the bone sword twisted, as if the opponent's hand was a black hole, enveloping everything that came near in a vortex.

Click!

The bone sword emitted a crisp cracking sound!
Whoosh!
Pieces of bone spread outwards, and most absurdly, they slowly burned in different colors before finally flying into the sky and exploding, releasing fireworks.

Snapped!
The fireworks were beautiful, bursting in the sky.

This left Malatang completely dumbfounded.

"What the hell? What is this thing...?"

At that moment, Malatang was horrified to see that the other person's arm had turned completely white, emitting a faint white light. In the face of the light, Malatang seemed to see scenes from different worlds...

Before he could react, the hand gently touched him, and Maratang's body flew far away. He was about to say something when he lost his will and despairingly discovered that his body was gradually turning golden.

Eventually, he turned into a large, golden coin, and kept jumping around in the sky.

After Bai Wan finished doing all this, he floated in mid-air, supported by an inexplicable smiling face in the air, shouting for freedom. Throughout the process, Bai Wan's expression did not change, as if he was just doing something insignificant.

The entire room fell silent.
