After more than ten minutes, the three of them finally caught up with the large group.

The first thing that reached their ears was still the little demons voice: Wow, wow, look at our No. 4, its really awesome! Look at this vigorous posture, look at this fierce strike, its rare for us to have such an amazing pet in Demon City! Its blood must be very pure! No. 8 is also not bad, dont be discouraged. If you get knocked down, get up and bite back. You can!

Meng Yufei was still resisting hard.

One of his arms was wounded and so were his legs. He was gasping for air despairingly, struggling to keep himself in position. Jin Cheng struck him with an arrow, so he hurriedly ran into the goblins to use them as his shields.

He closed his eyes and thought about the times he was sent to jail by Jin Cheng before. But this time, it was truly life and death. He mustnt die. Even if he really must die, he wouldnt die at Jin Chengs hands.

The goblins yelled and charged at Jin Cheng. Their individual damage power wasnt high, but they could win with their large number. Looking at the far distance, waves of them were crowding at the end of the road. You killed one and another group would rush in right after.

The goblins would immediately surround the players the moment they failed to pay attention; no one could stand still on this road. At this point, No. 6 Ghillie Suits rocket launcher became a helpful tool to take down these monsters.

Boom Any rocket could just be shot without the need to take aim, and the goblins would be swept away in heaps.

Next to him, teammate No. 3 was picking up the remnants: He would slash any goblins that survived the rocket. No. 10 girl was much stronger; with her fire-type ability, commonly seen also in other players, she was shooting one fireball after another, her killing speed worthy of praise.

Compared to them, No. 2, 9 and 11 were not as great. Their moves were a little messy and they had some injuries here and there, but at least their lives werent endangered. Tang Cuo, Qian Wei and Peng Mingfan reached their side by this point.

The goblins behind have started to rise again! Qian Weiwei shouted.

The other players felt their hearts drop. They hadnt even managed to take down the goblins in front and no one knew where the finishing line was, now the goblins that they killed previously were coming back to life?

They were sieged both front and back. How could they even win this game?

Faster! No. 10 had the same reaction as Tang Cuos. If the goblins behind were coming at them, they could only move to the front at full speed.

Death would await them if they didnt advance. The goblins might not be strong enough to defeat them, but using up this much energy would also kill them eventually. At least running to the front might help them find a way out.

Tang Cuo fell behind. He only had a gun and there was only one bullet left in it, so naturally he wouldnt depend on it. For now, he picked up a saber that a goblin dropped and used it as his weapon. Although this one saber wasnt particularly fatal, it was better than nothing.

His thoughts suddenly wandered off amid the predicament waiting for them at both the front and the back. He thought of Meng Yufeis blade intent and Qian Weis sword aura. Zhang Xing once said that each adept player would eventually grow their own abilities, and tiny shrimps like him could only rely on items such as cards to fight.

But Tang Cuo hadnt figured his own yet.

He had no abilities and no magic, let alone blade intent or sword aura. So what was the trigger condition? Would he need to obtain any secret scrolls or learn the arts from an NPC master?

With the thought still lingering in his head, Tang Cuo tackled another goblin with a single blow and took a step back.

In front, Jin Cheng was dancing on top of the globins heads, jumping from one head to another and bestowing multiple arrows at once like flowers from a goddess, and Bam, bam, bam, the goblins fell down like dominoes.

Jin Chengs arrows were very powerful in both breaking through defence and dealing damage; there was no way the goblins could stop him. One arrow would penetrate them, and the next arrow would arrive the following second. As the goblins all crammed together, a single arrow could easily kill two or three.

As one group of goblins fell down, they would smack down those behind them. The domino effect was tremendously helping the situation.

Meng Yufei meanwhile seized every opportunity to escape.

Ting Jin Cheng struck and the powerful sound waves spellbound one globlin after another. Meng Yufeil also started to stagger under its impact and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He immediately drew his scimitar and turned around: Clang!

The scimitar smacked Jin Chengs arrow, but this time, he couldnt cut through it.

Meng Yufei was on the verge of depleting all his strength, and the sweat and blood mixed on his face made his eyes hurt. Throwing out the last lightning orb with all his will, Meng Yufei took the opportunity to flee to the back.

Although driven to a corner, his mind was still clear.

It was impossible to move to the front. He had no idea where the finishing line might be, and this many goblins would definitely slow him down and consume all his remaining energy. It would only be a matter of minutes before Jin Cheng caught up.

So now hed better retreat to the back.

Meng Yufei didnt believe all of these players would give Jin Cheng a hand in catching him. Didnt Jin Cheng love to fight against the unjust and help the weak? Wasnt he always so great? With so many players stuck here, lets see how he would strike.

The other players saw Meng Yufei suddenly retreating but didnt stop him. They didnt know anything about Meng Yufei or Jin Cheng, so it was natural that they wouldnt want to act rashly.

Qian Wei hesitated a bit, and it was this second of hesitation that Meng Yufeis scimitar popped right in front of his face.

All of a sudden, a saber flew out from one side and stopped Meng Yufei. Meng Yufei tilted his head to look it was Tang Cuo again, that damn No. 12.

Tang Cuo threw a saber and picked up another, stabbed a goblin, then raised his head and asked: Are you thinking of taking someone hostage?

F**k! He couldnt help cursing, but didnt have the nerves to fight back.

Meng Yufei had become too terrifying.

A small red cube rose again from amid the mass of goblins. Meng Yufei quickly stepped forward to take it, and in a blink, his blade intent turned blood red.

Tang Cuo frowned. Could it be that a red cube raised a players Rage MeterA value commonly seen in fighting games like Samurai Shodown, which allows you to unleash a powerful special attack. See the fully-charged Rage Meter at the bottom left of the screenshot below.

? He commanded decisively: Run to the front!

Qian Wei and Peng Mingfan had been trained to obey whatever the boss said, and they rushed forward without saying anything, not caring one bit about how many goblins stood in their track.

As they rushed to the front, Jin Cheng ran to the back, and in a flash, the two sides had switched positions.

Whoosh! Jin Cheng launched another arrow as his eyes swept through Tang Cuo: Retreat.

Tang Cuo retreated.

As fast as lightning, Jin Cheng dismantled the long bow and transformed it into two blades, chasing after Meng Yufei and knocking him back by dozens of steps. The battle between the two quickly moved away from the main group, the sound of their weapons clanging echoing endlessly in the air.

By this time, a new wave of goblins finally came from behind.

Jin Cheng stared at Meng Yufei for a split second before swinging his blades at Meng Yufeis scimitar, the two figures brutally jumping at each other. The next second, Jin Cheng suddenly bolted forward without batting an eye to Meng Yufeis defence, and like a cannonball, he pushed Meng Yufei into the heart of the goblin crowd.

Khoff. Meng Yufei spurted out a chunk of blood onto his blade. How could he forget that Jin Chengs instantaneous critical hit was almost unblockable? Just like that, he would deal a strike, punching through even a steel plate.

Meng Yufei could almost hear the sound of his ribs breaking, his entire back landing heavily on the ground, the goblins and Jin Chengs shadow being the only things embedded in his vision.

In the blink of an eye, an item resembling a bomb appeared in Meng Yufeis palm.

Jin Cheng retreated quickly, but it was too late.

Boom The explosion scorched the corners of his clothes, the flying shards cutting through his thighs as a stinging feeling rising from inside his throat.

Smoke and dust flew everywhere.

Jin Cheng wiped off the trace of blood on his face and narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could react, a wisp of wind blew in his ears.

Meng Yufeis scimitar broke through the wind.

Jin Cheng dodged sideways, taking two steps back, not daring to touch the crazy blade intent so casually. Meng Yufei had really gone mad, all kinds of items conjured in his hand one after another.

The remaining players didnt dare to approach at all. Qian Wei was lost for words as he wondered where Meng Yufei could have gotten so many items. Even if a player from Zone F entered a dungeon everyday, it was unlikely that he could accumulate so many, right?

Tang Cuo previously had no idea how many people Meng Yufei killed and how many items he snatched from them, but this scene had made it quite evident.

Where are all your tricks? Do you want to fight with me just like this? Meng Yufei covered his heart and stared at Jin Cheng angrily.

Corpses were piling up around the two of them. They had no intention of killing the goblins, but under such a fierce battle, no goblins could survive.

Jin Cheng didnt say a word. He had said it earlier, dont ramble nonsense when fighting with me.

But Meng Yufei was in no mood to shut up. He gritted his teeth and said: I dont understand.

Why do you have to kill me?

Those losers could all die and I could live till the end.

Clang! Jin Cheng shot an arrow at his wrist and Meng Yufeis scimitar fell to the ground, his one arm completely scrapped. However, Jin Cheng didnt give him time to breathe and fired another arrow, then another.

The goblins took the opportunity to swarm up, forcing Meng Yufei to fight left and right and finally run out of items to use.

But he still couldnt stop Jin Cheng.

In his last blow, Jin Cheng strode forward and stabbed him.

As his blood gushed out, Meng Yufei fell to the ground, his eyes only taking in the pale sky of Demon City. Jin Cheng firmly grasped the handle of his blades, a few drops of blood splashed on his expressionless face.

Only then did he leisurely tell Meng Yufei: You are stronger than them so you kill them, it makes sense to you. I am stronger than you so I kill you, it makes sense to the universe.

Throughout the entire Demon City, the audience broke into deafening cheers, shaking the mountains, the sea and the sky.

This is truly the most thrilling show weve ever seen! All games in our Demon City should be like this! The little demon burst out with blue veins visibly surging at his throat: No. 4, please remember No. 4! Please give it the warmest cheers.
