The bullet spun in the air.

But it just wouldn't move forward an inch.

Li Chen took a step forward, his hand gripping the bullet tightly. He said indifferently, "If this is your plan to kill me, you've truly disappointed me."

His eyes narrowed, and in an instant, he threw the bullet cup that was still in his hand.

Same direction, same location.

He used his power to return it, even with greater strength.

With a "whoosh".

Before the bespectacled man could react, the bullet struck the muzzle of the silver-white sniper rifle with pinpoint accuracy.

He witnessed his own bullet pierce the sniper rifle and then pass directly through his body.

Pfft~

The bespectacled man spat out a mouthful of blood, glancing at the bullet hole in his foot, which he hadn't reacted to the moment before. He was somewhat dazed.

His body is rapidly weakening, and he no longer has the strength to stand up.

A single bullet shattered all the organs in his body; he was only able to stay upright because of his bodily functions.

Li Chen didn't pay much attention, turned to look at the burly man from before, and asked, "Who is Fan Bing?"

"Where is it, and where is it?"

The burly man was completely terrified...

He finally understood why Fan Bing had run away.

He was the one who lured the wolves, and he was the one who brought all of this to fruition. He witnessed the miserable state of Fan Bing's team firsthand, but he thought that this demon should be out of energy and his strength should have decreased significantly.

Moreover, they had made careful preparations before deliberately letting this person know.

The plan was to lure him into a trap, but in the face of absolute power, schemes are nothing more than a Clown's performance.

The burly man stammered, "Scoreboard, our points can be used to reposition the map."

"That bitch Fan Bing stole our map and ran away."

"You can use our scoring system to locate them."

"Can you please not eliminate us?"

Li Chen blinked, his expression unchanged, and said, "You have no right to negotiate with me."

"You attacked first, and eliminating you was just a matter of course. If you don't hand over the scoreboard now, your team will be buried on this frozen ground."

The burly man gave a wry smile, glanced helplessly at the bespectacled man in the distance, and took off his watch.

"Can I leave with my teammates now?"

Li Chen nodded, looking at the remaining numbers on the scoreboard, and said, "Withdraw from the Secret Realm in front of me."

The burly man quickly led the several unconscious team members to the bespectacled man and crushed the distress token.

His eyes remained fixed on Li Chen's unwavering gaze until he left.

Horrible... really terrifying...

I narrowly escaped death.

The burly man knew in his heart that if he had resisted just now, he might really have been buried here.

All those little schemes are as insignificant as clouds in the face of death.

He looked at the bespectacled man, who was now completely unconscious. The faint breathing indicated that he was still alive, clearly showing that the man had held back.

Otherwise, the human body wouldn't be able to withstand the force of a bullet once it enters the body; it would be a good thing if it didn't explode.

Li Chen stood there, pondering the scoring device.

He actually knew that this thing existed, but he hadn't killed the Wolf King when he tried to kill it, meaning he didn't get any points.

You need a score to determine the direction on the map.

Li Chen looked at the score of just over one hundred and fell silent.

Is a little over a hundred enough?

That doesn't seem like enough, does it?

I heard from Su Xian before that it takes 500 points to place an order, and even their own team doesn't have that many points.

Otherwise, they would have already gone straight to steal the map.

There's no need to clear the image like that.

The bigger reason is that they don't have enough points to enable map location services.

That's why the teams need to split up, defeat all the other teams, and take the map.

This will also be good for welcoming the arrival of the Imperial Capital Academy.

Li Chen sighed, floated into the air once more, looked around, and continued forward.

Their time is running out.

The reason they need two maps is that if the Imperial Capital Academy obtains five maps, they can leave this Secret Realm and ascend to the summit at any time.

There is a good way out.

But if Li Chen and his team get two cards, then the Imperial Capital will have no choice but to fight them.

Li Chen hovered in the air, muttering, "Imperial Capital Academy?"

Perhaps if he had chosen the Imperial Capital, he might have become one of those seven, but now he represents Canglan.

Moreover, there are individual competitions for him to participate in.

On the other side, Su Xian and Jianping hovered in the air, watching the three teams below engaged in a chaotic battle.

Jianping blinked and said, "Su Xian, if the scoring system eliminates one team, their points should go to us, right?"

Su Xian nodded, but he wasn't entirely sure either.

After all, the points were obtained by defeating Eerie Monsters, and the points they got from fighting those Demon Wolves weren't enough.

Because most of the Demon Wolf wolves are at too low a level, they don't get many points.

If Li Chen had dealt with the Demon Wolves of the Withered Sea Realm, their score would definitely have been high enough; otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to force.

Jianping narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then I'll go. You draw a circle around them later, make sure they don't get away."

Su Xian immediately flipped through the magic book.

The magic array spread out in the sky, completely unnoticed by the team below.

Jianping gripped the Demon Blade, a crimson aura emanating from it, and leaped directly from the sky.

Boom!

A cracking sound rang out.

The three teams stopped simultaneously, looked up at the sky, and then at the red phantom that had just fallen.

Somewhat surprised.

A cold wind howled, blowing away the snowflakes that had been splashed up by the impact, revealing the figures inside.

Jianping's eyes glowed red, and black and red aura swirled around his hands.

That blood-red Demon Blade seemed to have imprinted everyone's faces on it.

"And so the massacre began."

With a mere flick of his red eyes, Jianping changed the direction of the Demon Blade in his hand, turning it so the back of the blade faced downwards.

This means that Jianping did not want to kill them, and it further shows that he disdains using his blade when dealing with the weak.

The three teams hadn't reacted yet.

The red phantom moved, flashing around in an instant, and with each flash, someone fell down.

The captains of three of the teams, their eyes filled with fear and confusion, muttered to themselves.

"What monster?!"

"Which team is this?!"

Jianping was like a blood tiger in the snow, surrounding the entire wolf pack by himself, while Su Xian above him continuously circulated magic arrays, even casting a series of speed and strength boosts on Jianping.

Su Xian is currently a top-tier support character.

The main problem is that Jianping is too ruthless.

He was almost one-shotted, so his appearance was of little use.

It would be better to let Jianping have his fill of hacking and slashing.

Su Xian stroked her chin and whispered.

"At this speed, we should be able to clear out the other teams and find the map before the Imperial Capital arrives at this Secret Realm."

"..."
