His Lungs Were About to Burst with Rage

Gaoxin shouldered a heavy burden and carried everyone's hope of survival. After making a few arrangements, he quickly hid again.

No one knew how much time had passed before a heavy crash rang out from the third floor.

Big Beard roared in horror, "What?! This strength... You broke through to the Wolf level?"

Silver Hand roared like a ferocious beast, "Placing yourself on the brink of death, then crawling out of hell with your own hands—that is the path to transcending the heavens for a Radiation User!"

The battle grew fiercer and had long since reached its climax.

Neither side could gain the upper hand. Only one of them would survive.

Everyone trembled. Silver Hand was too fierce. He had even broken through in the middle of battle. It seemed the victor would soon be decided.

"No!"

Sure enough, Big Beard soon let out a scream, and the sounds of battle abruptly fell silent.

Immediately afterward, everyone heard a thud. It was Big Beard's body, thrown down from upstairs and crashing heavily into the courtyard.

Then came footsteps like those of the god of death.

Tap... tap...

One step, then another! Each step drew closer!

The mice in the hall trembled as they looked toward the second floor.

The silver-handed youth staggered down the stairs.

Sule was dumbfounded. "Is this guy really that fierce?"

"He really defeated three people..."

How many people had witnessed his ferocity? He had taken on three in a row, and had spent the entire time fighting two enemies at once.

"Wuu wuu wuu..." Suppressed sobs echoed through the hall.

Meimei whimpered, "Oh my god, half his body is gone, and he still hasn't died?"

At this moment, Silver Hand's injuries looked terrifying. First, he had become so thin that he looked like a skeleton, much like Tianshe had earlier.

His body was covered in countless wounds, blood pouring from them, many deep enough to expose bone.

Most importantly, he was crippled. His entire right arm was gone.

Even a small half of his torso had been scraped away, starting from his right shoulder and extending downward.

Judging from the bloody, mangled folds and shattered bones, it had clearly been cut away by the giant axe.

"Cough... hahaha... cough, cough..."

Silver Hand had clearly paid an agonizing price, but he still laughed heartily, his laughter both weak and arrogant.

He had done it. He had killed all his powerful enemies. Now, he was the only Radiation User left in the game.

He was also the strongest!

Without a doubt, even though this ferocious man was gravely wounded, as long as he could still move, the mice present would still not be his match—especially since everyone's legs, and even their hands, had been broken.

Silver Hand carried the Mechanical Giant Axe as his spoils of war and looked down on everyone, the stench of blood spreading from him.

"Not bad... Clever little mouse. You actually... really did hide until the end..."

"Hey... hey!"

"Get out here! Don't make me come find you!"

Silver Hand's voice echoed through the hall, loud enough for the entire building to hear.

He was speaking to Gaoxin, telling him to come out on his own and have one final duel with him.

"Hm?"

Silver Hand walked all the way to the center of the hall. After waiting for a while without seeing Gaoxin step out, he became displeased.

"You mouse-like thing. Weren't you going to fight me? So you planned to hide alone until the end and survive by yourself..."

In theory, if Gaoxin was confident he could hide well, he could ignore everyone else's fate and keep hiding.

As for Silver Hand, who was badly wounded after defeating three opponents in succession, having to search everywhere for a mouse would clearly be much more troublesome.

Silver Hand had thought of this before, which was why he had developed murderous intent toward Gaoxin, the one who had proposed the plan.

In the end, Gaoxin had provoked him, making him change his mind.

Seeing that Gaoxin really did not appear, Silver Hand said disdainfully, "Disgusting. How could I have believed that a Glass Person would have the courage to face me?"

He swept his gaze around, his body swaying slightly. "This is so annoying. I hate looking for mice the most."

The mice in the hall pleaded, "Please spare us. We'll give you the rewards."

"That's right. You're so badly injured. Can't you just rest?"

"You won! You won! All the rewards are yours..."

Silver Hand ignored them completely. Finding the noise irritating, he instead kicked one person away.

Then he seemed to spot Sule. He walked over and stomped down, making Sule cry out in agony.

"You're his friend, right? He told you to run earlier, and seemed to care about you a lot... If he doesn't come out soon, I'll kick your head apart."

Sule shouted, "Don't come out! Don't worry about me. He won't kill me."

He seemed determined to cling to his reasoning, believing that as long as Gaoxin was not caught, they would not die.

"Hehehe..."

Silver Hand sneered and raised his foot. "A mouse actually looked down on me... How infuriating!"

His killing intent was chilling. He clearly intended to ignore the loss of the rewards and simply stomp Sule to death.

Sule sensed the threat of death and hurriedly shouted, "No, no! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

The foot slammed down beside Sule's ear. The latter breathed a sigh of relief, then began struggling with himself again.

"Quick...ly!" Silver Hand panted heavily. His injuries were clearly severe, and he was suffering badly.

He wanted to rely on the last of his strength to finish the battle quickly.

"He... he's hiding over there... Pretending to be a corpse. You and Big Beard passed by several times without noticing him..."

Sule's face twisted with indecision. In the end, he pointed toward the stairs and revealed Gaoxin's location.

Silver Hand looked over, slightly surprised. Then he smiled. "So you were here all along..."

He leaped across in a single bound. He still had enough strength to jump four meters, landing right in front of the stairs and looking down at the corpse.

No Glass Person could oppose such strength. Once discovered, death was certain. They could not even outrun him.

But Silver Hand furrowed his brow, sensing that something was wrong.

He might have overlooked it earlier, but now that he was staring at it, he could confirm that this was indeed a corpse.

He abruptly kicked out, sending the carpet covering the face flying away. Good grief—the corpse did not even have a head. It was the body of someone whose skull he had crushed earlier.

"Clatter!"

At the same time, a disturbance came from above.

"An ambush?"

Silver Hand instinctively looked up. He did not dodge. It was only a Glass Person—what could an ambush do to him? He was thinking about counterattacking.

But when he looked up, a basin of liquid came pouring down over his head. As for Gaoxin, he was still standing behind the second-floor railing. There would be no counterattack at all.

"Hiss..." Silver Hand sniffed, then frowned.

This was... kerosene?

"Whoosh!" A delicate Lighter with its flame lit flew from Gaoxin's hand.

Silver Hand clicked his tongue. Watching the Lighter fly toward him, he easily sidestepped with a small hop and dodged it!

Whoosh! The Lighter ignited the kerosene spread across the floor, but the flames did not reach Silver Hand.

"Huh?" Everyone in the hall erupted in an uproar.

"We're done for!" Sule was frantic.

Seeing Silver Hand dodge, Gaoxin's expression changed as well, panic filling his face.

"Heh heh..." Silver Hand sneered. Without another word, he crouched and sprang up again. Like a spring onion pulled from dry soil, he leaped straight to the second floor.

"You pathetic little mouse. How ridicu—huh?"

Midair, Silver Hand's expression changed drastically.

Gaoxin stood behind the second-floor railing. He had not fled. The panic had vanished from his face. Instead, he faced Silver Hand and held out his other hand.

Click. A luxurious Lighter spouted a flame in his hand.

"Oh?"

At that moment, Silver Hand was hurtling through the air toward the second floor. Gravely wounded and on the verge of death, he had been determined to finish things quickly, practically throwing himself forward.

How could he dodge in midair?

"Whoosh!"

Silver Hand crashed into the flame, and his body instantly burst into flames, scorching his already mangled body, covered in countless wounds.

"Gahhh!"

Silver Hand cried out in pain as his body smashed through the railing.

Gaoxin had done his best to twist aside and dodge, but Silver Hand's kicking leg still grazed his foot.

When he hurriedly got back up, he found that his ankle was throbbing with pain.

But he had no time to care. He limped away in a hurry, rushed into a room, and came out carrying a bag of strong liquor!

"Smash!" Gaoxin pulled out a bottle, smashed its neck, and hurled it with all his strength.

Crash! The flames on Silver Hand's body blazed even more fiercely.

As Gaoxin backed away, he kept throwing bottles of strong liquor. He had found them in a wine cellar beside the kitchen.

"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!"

"Burn, burn, burn!"

"Brother Xin Ku, burn him to death!"

The mice flushed with excitement. They wished they could rush up and throw a few bottles themselves. The plan was going smoothly. It was really about to succeed.

It turned out that Gaoxin's duel was not meant to be a head-on clash. That would have been no different from seeking death.

While Silver Hand and Big Beard had been fighting on the third floor, he had left his hiding place and already devised his fire attack.

There was a wine cellar on the first floor. He had gathered a large amount of strong liquor there. As for Lighters, there were many in the rooms, and he had found several.

At first, he had planned to pour all the liquor into a basin and splash it on Silver Hand.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xu had told him that there was a large bottle of kerosene in a small storage room beside the central fireplace. It was probably meant for burning in the fireplace... if this really was an ordinary mansion.

The objects in this game environment had been arranged with astonishing attention to detail.

But that was even better. Kerosene was undoubtedly much more resistant to burning!

The only problem was that there was not much of it—just three pounds. To ensure that he could splash it onto Silver Hand, he had to lure Silver Hand to a specific location.

Without a doubt, his own hiding place was the best bait.

So he had dragged another corpse there and hidden it inside, while he himself carried a basin of kerosene and hid in a room on the second floor.

By that point, there was no longer any need to hide especially well.

After all, once Silver Hand eliminated his last powerful enemy, he would definitely return to the hall and force Gaoxin to come out.

"Bang!"

One bottle of strong liquor after another was hurled by Gaoxin.

Silver Hand's entire body was burning. As he roared, he was consumed by fury.

He charged madly toward Gaoxin, still moving incredibly fast.

But Gaoxin hurled all the liquor in his arms at him, then turned and vaulted over the second-floor railing.

His ankle had already been injured, so he landed hard.

But this was a battle for life and death. Who had time to worry about that? He rolled and crawled onward, circled around a thick pillar in the hall, and prepared to run around it with Silver Hand.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm definitely going to kill you!"

Silver Hand was crazed. He was too badly injured and had been forcing himself to keep going just to kill Gaoxin.

He had thought a Glass Person was nothing to worry about. He had not expected a chain of traps to nearly burn him to death.

Silver Hand had tried to extinguish the flames immediately, but there was too much fuel on his body. It was not so easy to put out.

His severe injuries made matters worse. Much of the fuel had soaked into his wounds and come directly into contact with his fat.

The fat in his flesh became fuel under the intense heat, burning him in unbearable agony.

"Ahhhhh!"

Silver Hand roared as he smashed through the railing and leaped down from the second floor as well.

A cornered beast fought with even greater ferocity!

He was determined to kill Gaoxin even if it cost him his life!

"Whoosh!"

The Mechanical Giant Axe flew directly from his hand with the force of thunder!

It was too fast. Gaoxin had no time to react.

But... it missed.

The giant axe had been aimed correctly, yet it embedded itself in the pillar in the hall.

Gaoxin had already circled behind the pillar. What use was there in throwing the giant axe?

"He can't see!"

After a brief moment of shock, everyone shouted excitedly.

"Haha, he's blind!"

With the blazing fire and hot smoke scorching him, even if Silver Hand had not been burned blind, he could not possibly see what was ahead clearly.

He had judged Gaoxin's position by sound and thrown the axe directly, never expecting a stone pillar to block the way.

Now, he had even lost his weapon.

Gaoxin was delighted. He hurried over to pull out the giant axe, but after yanking it twice with all his strength, he still could not free it.

It was embedded too tightly!

Thud, thud, thud! Silver Hand charged over with his entire body ablaze. Gaoxin did not dare linger and hurriedly circled away again.

"Die, all of you!"

Silver Hand was furious. He suddenly changed direction and kicked one of the mice who had been shouting excitedly.

With a wet crack, the man's neck snapped on the spot.

"Uh..."

Everyone fell silent in an instant, afraid to make a sound.

Even if this could help Gaoxin, Gaoxin could run, but they couldn't. Now that he had started killing indiscriminately, they would be courting death if they dared make a sound.

For a moment, the arena was unnaturally quiet. The only sounds were the flames burning on Silver Hand and Gaoxin's footsteps as he ran.

Seeing this, Gaoxin hurriedly stopped, but it was already too late. Silver Hand came charging over with a roar.

"Damn, how is this guy still not burned to death..." Gaoxin desperately dodged, but with his injured foot, he couldn't widen the distance and remained in danger.

Although Silver Hand had been set ablaze, the situation didn't seem to be as favorable as they had imagined.

This guy can take way too much heat.

Why does it feel like he's even fiercer now that his whole body's on fire?

It was Gaoxin's first time burning someone, so he didn't know that humans were actually quite resistant to fire. It was entirely possible for someone to burn for three to five minutes without dying, and Silver Hand could probably hold out even longer.

The fire attack had indeed created a huge advantage, but mainly because it had blinded Silver Hand.

His running speed and combat power remained terrifying.

Before long, Gaoxin was forced into a corner, with Silver Hand already closing in.

"Brother Baldy! Now! Smash him to death!" Gaoxin suddenly shouted.

"What!" Silver Hand was shocked. That was right—he remembered that there was still a bald man!

The bald man had negotiated with him early on, but Silver Hand hadn't seen him afterward.

And he wasn't among the people in the arena. From beginning to end, Big Beard hadn't found the bald man either.

Earlier, Silver Hand had underestimated Gaoxin and failed to dodge, getting drenched in kerosene and ending up in this predicament. Now, he truly didn't dare underestimate Gaoxin's plans.

"Whoosh!" Silver Hand immediately performed a tactical roll without hesitation, flashing to the side.

However... nothing happened. There was only the sound of Gaoxin rapidly widening the distance.

He tricked me. He tricked me!

Gaoxin had no idea where the bald man was hiding. He had merely pretended they were working together to deceive Silver Hand.

In any case, Silver Hand's senses were no longer sharp in his current state.

"Damn rat! Damn... damn it..."

Silver Hand was already incredibly weak, yet he chased Gaoxin even more furiously.

Gaoxin ran while looking back and provoking him.

"Sorry, but you're the rat... and I'm the cat!"

Silver Hand was so furious he felt his lungs were about to explode!

P.S. Sorry.
