My Lungs Are About to Explode

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

It wasn't clear how much time had passed before a heavy, booming sound came from the third floor.

Big Beard roared in horror, "What! This power... you've broken through to Sub-wolf?"

Silver Hand roared like a ferocious beast, "To place oneself on the brink of death, and then climb out of hell with one's own hands, that is the Radiator's path to the heavens!"

The battle grew even more intense, having long since reached its climax.

Neither side could gain an advantage; it was a fight to the death.

Everyone trembled. Silver Hand was too fierce, actually breaking through mid-battle. It seemed the victor would be decided soon.

"No!"

As expected, Big Beard soon let out a scream, and the sounds of battle subsided.

Then, they heard a thump. It was Big Beard's body, thrown down from upstairs and landing heavily in the courtyard.

Next came the footsteps of death.

Tap... tap...

Step by step! Drawing closer!

The rats in the main hall trembled as they looked up at the second floor.

The silver-handed youth staggered down.

Sule's jaw dropped, "This guy is too damn strong?"

"He really beat three people..."

So many had witnessed his ferocity firsthand, a one-vs-three, and he had always been fighting two at once.

"Wuwuwu..." Suppressed sobs echoed through the hall.

Meimei whimpered, "My God, half his body is gone, and he's still not dead?"

Silver Hand looked terrifyingly injured at this moment. Firstly, he was as thin as a skeleton, much like Tianshe's condition before.

His body was covered in countless wounds, bleeding profusely, many exposing bone.

Crucially, he was crippled; his right arm was completely gone.

Even a large portion of his torso, from his right shoulder downwards, had been scraped away.

Looking at the bloody, mangled flesh and shattered bone, it was clear it had been caused by a giant axe.

"Cough... haha... cough cough, urk..."

Silver Hand was clearly paying an agonizing price, yet he still laughed heartily, his laughter weak and arrogant.

He had done it. He had eliminated all the powerful enemies. Now, he was the only Radiator left in this game.

The strongest!

Undoubtedly, this formidable man, even severely injured, as long as he could still move, the rats present would still be no match for him, especially since all of them had their legs or even arms broken.

Silver Hand, carrying the Mechanical Giant Axe as spoils of war, looked down at everyone, his body exuding a bloody aura.

"Quite impressive... clever rat, you actually... managed to hide until the very 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 and face him for the final duel.

"Hm?"

Silver Hand walked to the center of the hall. After waiting for a while and seeing no sign of Gaoxin, he became displeased.

"Something like a rat, weren't you going to confront me? So you planned to hide and survive all by yourself..."

Theoretically, if Gaoxin was confident in his hiding skills, he could ignore the fate of others and keep hiding.

And himself, severely injured after a one-vs-three, would have to search for the rat, which would be much more troublesome.

Silver Hand had thought of this before, which is why he had developed a murderous intent towards Gaoxin, who had proposed this plan.

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

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

He scanned the crowd, his body swaying slightly, "Annoying. I hate looking for rats the most."

The rats in the hall pleaded, "Spare us, we'll give you the reward."

"Yeah, you're so badly injured, can't you just rest well?"

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

Silver Hand ignored them completely, even finding their noise irritating. He kicked one person away.

Then, he seemed to spot Sule and walked over, stepping on him. Sule let out a scream.

"You're his friend, aren't you? He told you to run earlier, seemed like he cared about you... If he doesn't come out again, I'll kick your head in."

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

He seemed to be clinging to a stubborn belief, thinking that as long as Gaoxin wasn't caught, they wouldn't die.

"Hehehe..."

Silver Hand sneered, raising his foot. "You little rat underestimated me... So annoying!"

His killing intent was palpable; he clearly intended to kill Sule directly, disregarding any potential rewards.

Sule felt the threat of death and suddenly yelled, "No, no! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

His foot stomped heavily next to Sule's ear. The latter let out a sigh of relief, then began to hesitate again.

"Quick... hurry!" Silver Hand panted, clearly his injuries were too severe, and he was not doing well.

He wanted to push through with sheer force and finish this quickly.

"He... he's hiding right there... pretending to be a corpse. You and Big Beard walked past him several times and didn't notice..."

Sule's face was contorted with struggle as he finally pointed towards the stairs, revealing Gaoxin's location.

Silver Hand looked over, a little surprised, and smiled. "So you were here..."

With a leap, he surprisingly still had the strength to jump four meters, landing right in front of the stairs and looking down at the corpse.

No Glass Person could resist this kind of strength. Once found, they were certain to die, unable to escape.

But Silver Hand frowned, sensing something was wrong.

If it were before, he might have overlooked it, but now, staring at it, he could confirm it was a corpse.

He suddenly kicked out, knocking away the carpet covering the face. Good heavens, this corpse didn't even have a head; it was the body of someone whose head he had crushed earlier.

"Crash!"

At the same time, a sound of movement came from above.

"Ambushing me?"

Silver Hand instinctively looked up, not dodging. It's just a Glass Person, what could an ambush do to him? He intended to counter-attack.

But as he looked, he was surprised to see a basin of liquid being poured directly over his head. As for Gaoxin, he was still standing behind the second-floor railing. There was no counter-attack to be had.

"Hiss..." Silver Hand sniffed and frowned.

Is this... kerosene?

"Whoosh!" A lit, exquisite lighter was thrown from Gaoxin's hand.

Silver Hand scoffed, staring at the lighter flying through the air. With a casual sidestep and a small jump, he dodged it!

Whoosh, the lighter ignited a patch of kerosene on the ground, but it didn't burn Silver Hand.

"Ah?" Everyone in the hall gasped.

"It's over!" Sule was extremely anxious.

Seeing Silver Hand dodge, Gaoxin's expression also changed, filled with panic.

"Heh..." Silver Hand chuckled, and without a word, he immediately crouched and sprang up, like a bamboo shoot rising from dry ground, leaping directly to the second floor.

"Little mouse, how laughable... Huh?"

In mid-air, Silver Hand's expression changed drastically.

Gaoxin was standing behind the second-floor railing, not running. The panicked look disappeared, replaced by him facing Silver Hand and extending his other hand.

Click, a fancy lighter flared to life in his hand.

"Oh ho..."

At this moment, Silver Hand was flying towards the second floor, his momentum driven by his severe injuries and the desire to finish quickly, almost throwing himself forward.

How could he dodge this while in mid-air?

"Whoosh!"

Silver Hand collided with the flame, and his body instantly burst into flames, burning his already mangled and bloody body.

"Argh!"

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

Gaoxin had tried his best to dodge to the side, but he was still grazed on the foot by Silver Hand's kicking leg.

As he hastily stood up, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

But he couldn't afford to care. He limped away quickly, rushing into a room and emerging with a bag of strong liquor!

"Smash!" Gaoxin pulled out a bottle, shattered the opening, and hurled it with all his might.

Crash, the flames on Silver Hand's body flared even brighter.

Gaoxin pulled back while continuing to throw liquor, which he had found in a hidden wine cellar next to the kitchen.

"Burn him! Burn him!"

"Burn, burn, burn!"

"Brother Xin Ku, burn him to death!"

The rats' faces were flushed with excitement, wishing they could throw a couple of bottles themselves. The plan was going smoothly; it was really about to succeed.

It turned out Gaoxin's confrontation wasn't a head-on clash; that would be no different from seeking death.

He had already decided to use fire after emerging from his hiding spot while Silver Hand and Big Beard were fighting on the third floor.

There was a wine cellar on the first floor where he had collected a large amount of strong liquor. As for lighters, many rooms had them; he found several.

Initially, he planned to pour all the wine into basins and splash it on Silver Hand.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xu told him that in a small storage room next to the central grand fireplace, there was a large bottle of kerosene, presumably for the fireplace... if this was just an ordinary mansion.

One could only say that the props within this game scene were truly meticulously arranged.

But this was even better; kerosene was undoubtedly more long-lasting!

It was just that the quantity was a bit small, only three jin. To ensure he could definitely splash Silver Hand, he had to lure Silver Hand to a specific location.

Without a doubt, his own hiding spot was the best lure.

So, he dragged another corpse in and hid it, while he himself, carrying a basin of kerosene, hid in a room on the second floor.

At this point, there was no need to hide too well anymore.

After all, Silver Hand, having dealt with the last formidable enemy, would surely return to the hall, calling for Gaoxin to come out.

"Bang!"

Bottle after bottle of strong liquor was thrown by Gaoxin.

Silver Hand was burning all over, roaring and furious.

He charged madly towards Gaoxin, his speed still very fast.

But Gaoxin threw all the liquor he was holding, turned, and jumped over the railing from the second floor.

Having already injured his ankle, he fell hard.

But in a fight for survival, how could he care about such things? He scrambled and crawled, continuing to run, taking a detour behind a thick pillar in the hall, intending to circle around Silver Hand.

"I'll kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

Silver Hand had gone mad. He was too heavily injured and was already barely holding on to kill Gaoxin.

He thought the Glass Person would be no threat, but he didn't expect a series of traps that would burn him to death.

Silver Hand had tried to extinguish the flames immediately, but there was too much fuel on him, making it not so easy to put out.

Especially since he was severely wounded, and much of the fuel had soaked into his wounds, coming into direct contact with grease.

The blood and grease on his body had also become fuel under the high temperature, burning him to the point of agony.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Silver Hand roared, smashing through the railing, and also leaped down from the second floor.

A cornered beast fights harder, becoming even more ferocious!

He was determined to kill Gaoxin even if it meant his own death!

"Whoosh!"

The Mechanical Giant Axe was thrown directly from his hand, like a thunderclap!

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

But... he missed.

The axe was aimed correctly, but it ended up stuck in the pillar in the hall.

Gaoxin was already behind the pillar; what was the point of throwing the axe?

"This guy can't see!"

After a brief moment of shock, everyone shouted excitedly.

"Haha, he's blind!"

With the scorching heat and smoke, even if Silver Hand wasn't blinded by the flames, he wouldn't be able to see clearly ahead.

He judged Gaoxin's position by sound and threw the axe, not expecting a stone pillar to be in the way.

Now, he was even without his weapon.

Gaoxin rejoiced and hurried to pull out the giant axe, but after tugging forcefully a couple of times, he couldn't get it out.

It was stuck too tightly!

Thump, thump, thump, Silver Hand, engulfed in flames, charged forward. Gaoxin didn't dare to linger and quickly dodged again.

"All of you die!"

Silver Hand, enraged, suddenly changed direction and kicked one of the rats who had been shouting excitedly.

With a thwack, the man's neck snapped instantly.

"Ugh..."

Everyone instantly fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Even though this could help Gaoxin, they couldn't run like he could. He was already slaughtering people; if they dared to make a sound now, they would be asking for death.

For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet, with only the sound of the flames burning on Silver Hand and Gaoxin's running.

Seeing this, Gaoxin quickly stopped, but it was too late. Silver Hand charged forward with a roar.

"Damn it, why isn't this guy burning to death..." Gaoxin dodged desperately, but his injured leg prevented him from creating any distance. He was in danger.

Even though Silver Hand was on fire, the situation didn't seem as good as they had imagined.

This guy was too resistant to burning.

How come it felt like this guy was even fiercer with fire all over him?

This was his first time burning someone; he didn't know people could be quite resistant to burning. It was possible to survive for three to five minutes without dying. Silver Hand would likely last even longer.

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

His running speed and combat power were still terrifying.

Soon, Gaoxin was forced into a corner, and Silver Hand was closing in.

"Brother Bald! Now! Smash him!" Gaoxin suddenly roared.

"What!" Silver Hand was shocked. Yes, he remembered. There was still the bald man!

They had negotiated a long time ago, and he hadn't seen him since.

Among the people in the field, he wasn't there. Big Beard had never found the bald man from beginning to end.

He had been careless with Gaoxin earlier and didn't dodge, resulting in him being doused in kerosene and falling into such a predicament. Now, he didn't dare to underestimate Gaoxin's plans.

"Whoosh!" Silver Hand didn't hesitate. He immediately performed a tactical roll, dodging to the side.

However... nothing happened. Only the sound of Gaoxin rapidly increasing the distance could be heard.

He was tricked, tricked!

Gaoxin had no idea where the bald man was hiding. That was just a feigned coordination to trick him.

Anyway, in Silver Hand's current state, his senses were already dulled.

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

Silver Hand was already extremely weak and chased Gaoxin even more furiously.

Gaoxin ran, looking back to provoke him.

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

Silver Hand was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode!

p.s: Sorry.
