Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 154 Xiao Honglu: I have a bold idea!

Guessing that Zhang Jie might take advantage of the battle to harm her or Li Shuaixi, Zhao Yingkong decided to eliminate any future trouble.

Seeing Zhao Yingkong approach him without hesitation, Zhang Jie raised an eyebrow at Li Shuaixi with a smug look, then said to Zhao Yingkong, "How about it? Want to team up? I just broke my back, and now I can only move around using telekinesis, so I'll leave the direct combat to you guys. I..."

Before Zhang Jie could finish speaking, Zhao Yingkong, who had already approached, suddenly swung her arm, and a sharp longsword flashed as it slashed down on Zhang Jie's neck.

The next moment, the main god determined that Zhang Jie was completely unable to defend against this attack and immediately activated the protection mechanism, teleporting Zhang Jie out of the battlefield.

Li Shuaixi didn't expect that he had only reminded Zhao Yingkong to be careful if she wanted to cooperate with Zhang Jie, lest the other party turn against her at the last minute.

After some consideration, Zhao Yingkong simply slashed the man with a single blow. That's how assassins operate—clean, efficient, and straightforward. Li Shuaixi was deeply impressed, the only drawback being...
Ah! My double kill!
Li Shuaixi felt wronged and looked resentfully at Zhao Yingkong, who was sheathing her long sword, but he didn't dare to say a word of blame.

Zhao Yingkong noticed Li Shuaixi's gaze and turned to look at him, puzzled. Only after seeing the almost tangible resentment in Li Shuaixi's eyes did she remember what she had promised him not long ago.

For a moment, Zhao Yingkong felt a little embarrassed. She turned her head away guiltily and whispered, "Sorry, I forgot. You're next to chop."

What could Li Shuaixi do but accept it? He didn't even dare to say, "I hope you won't forget next time." He could only follow Zhao Yingkong like a wronged wife, carrying the Holy Sword Balmonk, to explore other areas.

Outside the battlefield, Zhang Jie, who had been sent flying by Zhao Yingkong's blade, was angrily complaining to others that the two young men, Li Shuaixi and Zhao Yingkong, had been too rough and had broken his back.

And that's not all, they even tricked me and ambushed me! We agreed to team up, and the next second they just slashed at me! Isn't this bullying an honest person?!

Zhang Jie's words became increasingly outrageous, but he didn't notice the growing contempt in the eyes of those around him. It wasn't until Na'er couldn't bear it any longer that she squatted down and whispered in Zhang Jie's ear that they could see every move the participants made through the live broadcast.

"Huh?!" Zhang Jie's old face couldn't hold back anymore. He immediately used his telekinesis to drag himself out of Chu Xuan's room. "I'm done playing, I'm leaving, God, heal me completely!"

On the battlefield, Luo Li, who had been watching Li Shuaixi from the very beginning when he approached Qi Teng, was very satisfied with Li Shuaixi's performance, even though she had lent the Saber Servant Card Siegfried to Li Shuaixi herself.

However, Li Shuaixi was able to defeat Qi Tengyi, who had already mastered the first awakening of Qi Gong, on his first use. Then, even after Zhang Jie's sneak attack and he temporarily lost the defensive bonus of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor, he was still able to exchange two blows with Zhao Yingkong. In the end, he even persuaded Zhao Yingkong to eliminate Zhang Jie with him. All of this proves that Luo Li's investment was worthwhile.

Luo Li looked up at the list in the sky and suddenly realized that there were only seven people left on the battlefield, including herself. From now on, she, Zhan Lan, and Zheng Zha could go all out.

"Zhang Jie, Qi Tengyi, Ming Yanwei, and Zhang Heng, four of them have already been eliminated in less than three hours. Now there are only seven people left on the battlefield, which means I can start attacking normally! Yay!"

At that moment, Li Shuaixi inadvertently looked up at the sky and realized the truth, saying with a hint of regret:

"Zhao Yingkong, perhaps we should spare Zhang Jie's life for now."

Zhao Yingkong looked up at the list of survivors in the sky and said calmly, "What's the use of regretting now that things have come to this? We need to hurry. If we want to fight against Luo Li, Zheng Zha, or Zhan Lan, we must find Gao Hongliang and Xiao Honglu before they do."

After saying that, Zhao Yingkong continued on her way, but there was still half a sentence left unsaid in her heart... Only if the four of us work together will we have a chance to fight against one of them...

"Idiot! Fool! I'll f*** yourself."

Ever since discovering that only seven people remained on the battlefield, Xiao Honglu had been cursing in a fit of rage. He couldn't understand why, knowing that Luo Li, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan were three formidable enemies, the others would still fight to the death.

The optimal solution would clearly be to unite and defeat Luo Li, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan first.

Otherwise, no matter how impressive the early results are, they would still be easily crushed when facing those three in the later stages.

But Xiao Honglu couldn't understand why anyone would not understand such a simple principle.

Moreover, even if others don't understand, Xiao Honglu is certain that Zhang Jie, that old schemer, definitely does.

But why was Zhang Jie also eliminated...? Xiao Honglu speculated that this guy must have tricked someone and ended up getting killed instead.

If Li Shuaixi knew what Xiao Honglu was thinking, he would definitely say, "Little brother, you have a good eye for people. How did you know that Zhang Jie was trying to scheme against me but was killed instead?"

Gao Hongliang looked at Xiao Honglu, who was jumping up and down in anger, and thought to himself, "What's the use of just being anxious? Hurry up and think of a solution!"
“Xiao Honglu, no matter how much you curse, you can’t change the facts. You should think about how to survive longer.”

"What can I do? What can I do? Even if we team up with Li Shuaixi and Zhao Yingkong, we can only hold off one person at most. What about the other two?!"

Xiao Honglu was very annoyed. Faced with the absolute suppression of the three people's strength, he couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

From Xiao Honglu's words, Gao Hongliang realized that the other party's thoughts seemed to be different from his own.

So Gao Hongliang asked, "Wait a minute? You're not thinking of facing Luo Li, Zhan Lan, and Zheng Zha all at once, are you? Even if no one gets eliminated, the eight of us together wouldn't be a match for them, would we?"

Feeling discouraged by the current situation, Xiao Honglu casually replied, "Not necessarily. If everyone works together well enough through Zhang Jie's mental link, there is still a chance."

After receiving the answer, Gao Hongliang realized that Xiao Honglu's thoughts differed from his own, so he said, "Isn't this live-fire exercise an individual battle? You can't assume that everyone else will team up just because we've teamed up, especially the three strongest ones like Luo Li. It's highly unlikely that they would team up."

After listening to Gao Hongliang's words, Xiao Honglu was stunned for a moment, then his mind suddenly cleared, and he slapped his forehead in surprise.

"Oh yeah! How could I have forgotten that!"

After getting out of the misconception, countless ideas sparked in Xiao Honglu's mind, and soon he had a brilliant idea.

"Gao Hongliang, perhaps we can persuade Zheng Zha or Zhan Lan to help us deal with Luo Li."

As for why he didn't try to persuade Luo Li, Xiao Honglu said that there was absolutely no personal grudge involved!

[It would be better to just kill him.]
