Excessive ferocity due to caution

In a short period of time, the teahouse was completely surrounded by more than two hundred half-step Great Fiends, making it impossible to move!

The situation suddenly reversed in a very short time!

Bai Xiao and his two companions stood together, their faces filled with shock as they looked at the resolute assassins around them!

If it were just the two hundred or so half-step Great Fiends in front of them, they could kill quite a few by fighting to the death with various tools.

The problem is... standing in front of them is a near-great ferocious beast that is even stronger than them!

The existence of the Warehouse Demon Warrior completely dictated the course of the situation!

With the support of over two hundred elite soldiers, if a real fight were to break out, the enemy would only need to pay a minimal price to take them down!

In particular... Bai Xiao knew that Zhao Yi had a rule-based killing item that could wipe out all of a player's resurrection items at once!

If they take action here, they will pay an extremely heavy price!

Furthermore, it will affect the subsequent competition among guilds for control of the ruined city.

After all, without resurrection items, who among them would dare to risk everything and fight back against the equally powerful Horned Camp Guild and Demon Ruins Guild?

"Zhao Yi...you want to fight our Tianwang Guild to the death?!"

Now that things have come to this, Bai Xiao has no choice but to bite the bullet and bring out the guild behind him.

Zhao Yi remained seated in his chair, calmly smiling as he said:

"A bloody battle?"

"No, this isn't a shootout."

"This is... a one-sided massacre!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang made his move!

Although Wu Liang is currently only at the low-level Quasi-Great Fiend, its advancement is different from that of ordinary ghosts. During the battle with the Mountain God, Wu Liang glimpsed a wisp of rule power by chance and entered the Quasi-Great Fiend level by relying on the rule power!

Its strength cannot be judged by the strength of ordinary ghosts!

A thick red mist emanated from the metal box on Wu Liang's chest, enveloping the entire teahouse in an instant!

Zhao Yi's assassins moved freely within the red mist, unaffected by anything.

But Bai Xiao and the other two were different.

Within this red mist, they felt as if a protective shield had been placed over them, and their skin began to slowly crack and stink. The terrifying corrosion directly penetrated the power of Bai Xiao and the other two!

"This is……"

"The power of rules!"

Bai Xiao's eyes revealed an extreme shock!

The opponent... has already come into contact with the power of rules?!

Where does this level of terror come from?

Why would they obey Zhao Yi's orders?

Could it be that Zhao Yi really has a high-ranking member of the slacker guild standing behind him?

In an instant, a variety of questions arose in my mind.

Bai Xiao quickly took out a three-leaf lotus lamp, bit his finger, and smeared his fingertip blood into the wick of the lotus lamp!

Moo!

A wisp of Buddhist chanting.

Golden flames ignited at the broken wick of the three-petaled lotus lantern.

A magnificent and sacred Buddhist power appeared, barely managing to block the red mist!

puff!

A hideous ghost head suddenly flew out from the red mist and bit down hard on Bai Xiao's gluteus maximus!

The sharp teeth tore through the Buddha's light, and blood appeared in an instant!

This ghost head was transformed from a half-step Great Fiend assassin, abandoning all defenses just to take a bite out of Bai Xiao!

Bai Xiao let out a strange cry, and a black glove appeared in his palm. He slammed it down on the ghost's head!

However, the surrounding red mist gathered like ghosts, blocking Bai Xiao's attack!

It bought the ghost head time to retreat!

But Gui Tou had no intention of living. He was biting Bai Xiao’s gluteus maximus tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and he refused to let go!

A terrible curse spread along the wound, and branching black blood vessels rapidly spread toward Bai Xiao's heart!

Bai Xiao was terrified and activated his bloodline power!

His bloodline is that of an ancient sea monster, which he obtained by exchanging it from the shop.

Currently at level three.

A seductive voice emanated from his throat, ethereal and alluring.

After the siren's bloodline awakened, Bai Xiao barely managed to block the curse that the ghost head had poured all its power into him. He was filled with rage and reached out to grab the ghost head, wanting to annihilate this ignorant thing into nothingness!

Clang!

At the critical moment, a cleaver appeared from the red mist and slashed towards his neck!

Bai Xiao's hair stood on end!

Although the assassin who made the move only had the strength of a half-step Great Fiend, Bai Xiao's intuition told him that the knife was imbued with terrifying power by the red mist. Once struck by the knife, even if he had the bloodline of an ancient sea monster, he would die on the spot!

A sinister glint flashed in Bai Xiao's eyes, and he made a decision in the blink of an eye, dodging to the side!

And he aimed the demon's head at the demon blade!

puff!

The demon blade slashed fiercely at the demon's head!

Bai Xiao was overjoyed.

But then, the smile on his face vanished.

Bai Xiao saw blood flowing down his forehead...

My head is throbbing with a splitting pain!

At that moment, Bai Xiao immediately realized that this was a curse of shared harm!

No wonder this ghost head wanted to trade one for one with him at the limit!

I almost got tricked!

Fortunately, he activated his bloodline power in time, preventing the curse from spreading completely. Otherwise, he and the ghost head would have died by now!

Even so, his brain was severely damaged.

After the excruciating pain subsided, my body began to feel light and weightless, as if I had nowhere to put my weight on!

His two teammates had vanished without a trace, disappearing in the blink of an eye after the red mist enveloped them...

"Damn it...!"

Bai Xiao covered his head and immediately felt dizzy.

He shook his head violently, but felt even more dizzy...

He touched the top of his head.

Soft and sticky...

Bai Xiao immediately realized that it was his own brain!

stab-

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he heard a granular sound of heavy objects rubbing together.

Bai Xiao suddenly pulled out a Water Demon Halberd, with blue seawater flowing on it endlessly, and mysterious power swirling around it!

"Who?!"

The bloodline of the ancient sea monster granted Bai Xiao a powerful self-healing ability. Although his brain has suffered severe damage, it will heal itself in no time.

But Zhao Yi clearly wasn't prepared to give him a chance.

Soon, Zhao Yi, carrying a Tang sword in one hand and dragging a shredder in the other, appeared in front of Bai Xiao.

This was completely different from the elegant Zhao Yida I had seen before.

The Zhao Yi before me, wielding a knife, was covered in tattoos of burning black flames. His eyes were bloodshot, and elegance no longer suited him; he exuded a deadly aura…

"Zhao Yi... if you dare touch me, the Tianwang Guild will bring people to wipe you out tomorrow!!"

Bai Xiao swayed unsteadily, covering his head with one hand, staring intently at Zhao Yi.

The latter grinned:

"Yeah?"

"With the Skyward Guild mobilizing a large number of people to crush me, surely the Horned Camp, Demon Ruins, and the other major guilds... won't stand idly by, will they?"

"Do you think the guild leader of Tianwang Guild would choose to die with me?"

"Or do you really think the guild leader of Tianwang Guild would jeopardize the entire guild's future because of you?"

Bai Xiao watched as Zhao Yi dragged the shredder toward him, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

He has seven resurrection items.

If it were just a matter of dying in battle, Bai Xiao wouldn't be afraid at all.

But he was afraid of dying at Zhao Yi's hands!

That guy...

That big iron box...

It will wipe out all his resurrection items at once!!

"What am I afraid of...?"

Bai Xiao's eyes glazed over.

His fear grew as the distance between him and Zhao Yi shortened!

"He's clearly just a newbie to the game..."

"He's clearly only at the half-step Great Fiend level..."

"What...what am I so afraid of?!"

Bai Xiao's pride was shattered in the face of fear.

He couldn't accept it!

With a roar, his eyes gushed blood, and he grabbed the Water Demon Halberd and charged fiercely at Zhao Yi!

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi has too many buffs.

Unleashed its full power.

Zhao Yi's strength instantly rose to Bai Xiao's level!

The two exchanged a blow and each took a step back.

Bai Xiao's brain became even more dizzy due to the violent impact.

He was panting heavily, still not recovered from the dizziness, when Zhao Yi, knife in hand, charged at him once again!

A sharp glint of light flashed before Bai Xiao's eyes!

The latter instinctively retreated, but was still a step too slow.

Zhao Yi severed his right hand.

Greedy Touch of Oblivion immediately sprouted from the wound!

With all sorts of negative curses cast upon him, Bai Xiao completely lost the ability to fight against Zhao Yi!

He was drenched in sweat and retreated in fear. The self-healing power of the ancient sirens' bloodline had been rendered ineffective due to the interference of the Touch of Oblivion.

"you……"

Bai Xiao looked at Zhao Yi with utter shock!

Why?

He's clearly just a new player who hasn't been playing for very long!

He's clearly just a level 26 newbie!

How could he possibly command such terrifying near-great evil spirits and so many half-step great evil spirits?!

What makes him think he can confront me head-on?!

This is unfair!!

Bai Xiao tried to retreat, but many ghostly creatures appeared from the red mist behind him, severing his limbs with ferocious smiles!

Blood was everywhere.

After devouring Bai Xiao's limbs, these ghostly creatures very obediently disappeared into the red mist.

Bai Xiao was spared because he was Zhao Yi's prey.

Seeing Bai Xiao, who was already very weak, Zhao Yi's tattoos slowly disappeared.

"Zhao Yi, you...you had no reason to kill me..."

"I'm only here on behalf of the guild to discuss business with you..."

"Even if the business deal falls through, our two guilds shouldn't become enemies..."

A hint of resentment flashed deep in Bai Xiao's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

He set aside his previous arrogance.

She put on a fawning smile.

Zhao Yi squatted down, stared at the disheveled human pig in front of him, and gently patted his head as if petting a dog, and laughed:

"Mr. Bai, that's not what you just said..."

"I still prefer your defiant self from just now."

"But don't worry..."

"Although I don't like you, I still know my limits."

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, Bai Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

really……

Although Zhao Yi appears arrogant and ruthless on the surface, he is actually quite afraid of the Tianwang Guild...

He looked up, about to say something, when he saw Zhao Yi lifting him by the hair and carrying him above the shredder.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiao cried out in alarm:

"Zhao Yi... what are you going to do?!"

Zhao Yi leaned forward, greedily inhaling the smell of Bai Xiao's brains.

"..."

Feeling the hot breath Zhao Yi was exhaling from the wound on his scalp, Bai Xiao's whole body bristled, and he screamed in agony:

"You dare?!"

The body shredder started up, its roar echoing incessantly.

Under such torment, Bai Xiao was on the verge of collapse!

7!

His 7 resurrection items!

This is something he accumulated through so much effort and sacrifice!

Zhao Yi looked at Bai Xiao, who was struggling frantically, and smiled.

He was laughing very happily.

"I dare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yi let go.

Bai Xiao was reduced to a pile of minced meat amidst screams.
