Surrender

"When you use the terrain to surround me, you also use the terrain to surround yourselves."

Watching Bu Ziran retreat all the way to the barrier, Zhang Yu sneered and conjured four Formless Warrior, two on the left and two on the right, blocking the opponent.

Seeing Zhang Yu charging towards him, Bu Ziran really wanted to yell, "Don't come any closer!"

He wasn't afraid of Zhang Yu; he was afraid of his teammates.

Especially when looking at Zhang Yu's body, which looked like it was taking a bath, constantly enduring large amounts of Blood Lightning, Qi Explosion, and Silver Palm strikes.

Bu Ziran doesn't have Zhang Yu's ability to withstand attacks head-on!

But Ma Xuan quickly reassured him in the Competition Group: "Don't worry, we've enabled shared attack intent and are marking each other's targets, so you won't be hit easily!"

At this moment, within the Eye Remains field of Ma Xuan and the other three, four kinds of marks kept jumping around: a palm, a drop of blood, a stream of air, and a small sword, representing the four people's attacks!

Each mark represents the landing point of the four people's attack!

This marking allows their attacks to be coordinated more closely and also helps them better avoid hitting Bu Ziran!

But no matter how much you try to avoid it, collisions are inevitable in such a fierce battle!

With a single sword stroke, Bu Ziran swept away the Blood Lightning. Looking at the 32% durability of his Hand Skeleton, he felt a pang of heartache!

"Be careful, don't hit me."

But the next moment, Zhang Yu attacked again, his Formless Cloud Gang drawing Qi Explosion, slamming them down on Bu Ziran!

The Sword Qi and the Gang Qi clashed and surged!

After engaging in a Bu Ziran, Zhang Yu withdrew all his Humanoid Gang Qi. This reduced the consumption of his magical power and, without the shield of the Humanoid Gang Qi, allowed Bu Ziran be further exposed to attacks.

"Sure enough, after engaging this guy in close combat, Ma Xuan and the others inevitably weakened their offensive power considerably!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu did not use the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, but instead used the Formless Cloud Gang to continuously guide the incoming attacks and bombard Bu Ziran time and time again!

In those few seconds of intense fighting, Zhang Yu was already covered in blood, his Gang Qi tinged with crimson, like flames enveloping his body!

"Perhaps I can take this opportunity to add something..."

With each burst of Blood Lightning that Flick Finger Startle Blood, the Formless Cloud Gang was torn open with large holes, but its speed was also slowed down as a result!

With a single palm strike, Zhang Yu unleashed a vortex of cloud-like mist that guided a cluster of Blood Lightning to converge at a single point. As they spun rapidly, they collided and coalesced into a blood sphere... which Zhang Yu then swallowed whole!

The next moment, Zhang Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but say, "How much medicine did you take? It's really potent!"

Feeling the medicinal power being continuously absorbed into his body, stimulating his physical strength and rapidly restoring his magical power, Zhang Yu laughed heartily, then suddenly swept up the Sand Silver scattered on the ground with his palm, and swallowed it in one gulp!

Zhang Yu tilted his head and grinned, saying, "Although it's not very nutritious, it's good for strengthening the body!"

Seeing his Sand Silver swallowed whole by Zhang Yu, Ma Xuan was furious and shouted, "Keep attacking! He can't hold on much longer!"

Although Zhang Yu was constantly eating and drinking, absorbing the medicinal properties of the Yang Yan blood, and digesting the Sand Silver to strengthen his body, the Formless Cloud Gang around his body was still being torn apart, and the wounds on his body were increasing, making him look like a bloody mess!

The originally misty white Gang Qi gradually turned into light red, then deep red, until it now showed a dark red color, accompanied by the constantly churning Gang Qi, burning fiercely like a gloomy flame!

Compared to Zhang Yu's apparent severe injuries, Bu Ziran's heart was bleeding even more!

Zhang Yu was locked in combat with him, continuously redirected the incoming Blood Lightning, Qi Explosion, and Silver Arm attacks toward him!

In addition, Ma Xuan and the others accidentally caught in Bu Ziran's attack... Even though they were ganging up on Zhang Yu with their teammates, Bu Ziran felt like he was being ganged up on by Zhang Yu and his teammates!

Amidst such fierce fighting, the constant reports of decreasing durability from his physical body sent a chill down To Ziran's spine, a chill even more intense than the coldness contained within Zhang Yu's aura!

"Fuck it."

Enraged Bu Ziran unleashed a flurry of Sword Qi, staring at the bloodied and swaying Zhang Yu before him, his heart pounding with fury. "Why? Why won't you fall? Why won't you surrender?"

The same question arose in Yang Yan's mind. While shooting out streaks of Blood Lightning, he looked at the billing statement of the Dharma Skeleton and couldn't help but slow down his attack!

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was completely enveloped in Blood Mist, Yang Yan thought to himself, "This guy probably can't hold on much longer. I should use fewer Spirit Coin to keep attacking! Besides..."

On the other side, Gusu Su thought to herself, "This guy keeps refusing to surrender, what if I kill him?"

"We can't kill him! The compensation for killing someone is too high! Zhang Yu looks like he's seriously injured, but he's managed to hold on despite being surrounded by everyone!"

The more they saw Zhang Yu swaying precariously, the more the four of them slowed their attacks, afraid that they might accidentally kill him!

Ma Xuan couldn't help but shout, "Zhang Yu, if you don't surrender, do you really want to go bankrupt in this competition?"

"Look at your injuries. Do you have the money to treat them?"

Zhang Yu grinned, waved at them, and said, "Hurry up, you don't have much time left!"

Although Zhang Yu appeared to be covered in wounds and completely battered, under the blessing of the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, he could feel his various resistances increasing rapidly, and the opponent's attacks becoming weaker and weaker in his perception!

The physical injuries did not worsen; instead, they continued to heal themselves under the activation of the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra...

Another fierce battle ensued, with waves of supersonic air sweeping through the air as the five people's Gang Qi and magical power clashed hundreds of times in an instant!

The bills keep rising, the durability keeps decreasing, and the Sand Silver has been eroded again...

At this moment, Ma Xuan and the other three felt as if Zhang Yu was a black hole. They kept pouring money into him, but they could never completely defeat him, which made them feel increasingly distressed!

It was during this process that Ma Xuan and the other three, seeing that Zhang Yu remained standing for a long time, gradually loosened their grip and intensified their attack!

But they soon discovered that even with their intensified attacks and all-out assaults, Zhang Yu, though bearing more wounds, still did not fall!

At the same time, Bu Ziran, seeing that the durability of the Dharma Skeleton had reached 21%, finally couldn't take it anymore.

His Dharma Skeleton, specifically designed for high-speed sword techniques, was never good at head-on combat!

Now, under the "siege" of the four, and with each collision with Zhang Yu, its durability is rapidly declining, and it is about to suffer a serious malfunction, which will cost a huge sum of money to repair!

Bu Ziran: "Enough! Who's going to replace me? Or you can split the repair costs of the Dharma Skeleton with me!"

When faced with Bu Ziran's question, Ma Xuan and the other two pretended not to hear it!

Bu Ziran was instantly enraged and took a step to the side, but was tightly entangled by Zhang Yu who had chased after him. In the blink of an eye, his durability reached 20%!

Seeing Zhang Yu still determined to fight, Bu Ziran really wanted to say to him, "What are you doing, risking your life?"

But the next moment, Zhang Yu's figure suddenly swelled up, having activated the Battle Demon Lifefall Skill and the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen in succession, pushing his physical abilities to the limit in one go!

As the negative effects of the Battle Demon Lifefall Skill worsened his injuries once again, his Civil Engineering Sacred Body experienced another surge in various resistances!

Following the Quadruple Thinking, Zhang Yu activated all the Body Protection Technique he had cultivated at once, raising his resistance to attacks to the extreme!

Bang.

He allowed Bu Ziran's boundless Sword Qi to gently caress his body, and allowed Ma Xuan and the others' attacks to fiercely strike his back, lower back, and hind legs...

Zhang Yu charged forward, shattering Bu Ziran's Sword Qi, then grabbed the man's head and slammed him to the ground!

Seeing Zhang Yu and Bu Ziran fighting fiercely on the ground, Ma Xuan and the other two hesitated for a moment, afraid that Bu Ziran might get hurt!

But the next moment, with a soft cracking sound, Toko Ran's Hand Skeleton twisted and malfunctioned when its durability reached 19%.

Bu Ziran felt a surge of magical power flowing back through his Hand Skeleton, and his entire body was temporarily paralyzed!

With a scream, Zhang Yu tore off Bu Ziran's Hand Skeleton and then struck him hard in the dantian!

The Cold Poison that had been blasting in from the front and back suddenly erupted at this moment, freezing Bu Ziran's entire body stiff!

Having temporarily subdued Bu Ziran, Zhang Yu turned to look at Ma Xuan and the other two, grinning from his blood-stained face, and said, "Who's next?"

Looking at Bu Ziran's torn Hand Skeleton and his severely frostbitten body, Ma Xuan and the other two seemed to see a huge bill in their minds, and felt a chill run down their spines!

But being locked onto by Zhang Yu entire body was covered in crimson blood, with his fierce gaze gave them the illusion that they were the ones being surrounded, not Zhang Yu!

Shaking his head to shake off this illusion, Ma Xuan suddenly frowned slightly!

"Hmm? The external tremors have stopped?" It turned out that during the fierce battle between the two sides, Ma Xuan could feel the surrounding barriers trembling slightly, as if they were constantly being attacked from the outside!

But after the tremor, he sensed it for a moment and was taken aback!

"Shi Huaiyu... isn't attacking the barrier, he's reinforcing it?"

"She thickened my barriers many times over!"

"What do you mean? Are you going to lock us up here with Zhang Yu? Are you just going to abandon your teammates like this? Do you have any sportsmanship at all?"

Just as Ma Xuan was stunned, a cloud of mud and sand shot up from beside Zhang Yu, and Xiao Qingxuan had already crawled out from it!

Seeing this, Ma Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "They've dug them in!"

Looking at Zhang Yu's severely injured state, and then at To Ziran who was pinned beneath him, Xiao Xuan's eyes widened in shock!

With a palm on Zhang Yu's shoulder, Xiao Qingxuan sent a private message through their Eye Remains: "I'll heal you, but remember, only during the competition. Don't let anyone else know!"

"Treatment... treatment?"

Zhang Yu also messaged him privately, "You've studied Medical Department courses? Are you a doctor?"

Xiao Qingxuan said calmly, "My parents aren't doctors, so how could I be one? It's just that the ancient Golden Core who possessed me before, in the era he was asleep, cultivators learned a wide variety of things, and it's said that every cultivator knew healing techniques!"

"Ninety-nine percent of the Immortal Dao Technique mastered by ancient Golden Core cultivators are obsolete by today's standards."

"However, his Ancient Medical Arts are still somewhat useful!"

"Ancient Medical Arts?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but reply, "History class taught us that these are all scams, unreliable, without standards, and using them haphazardly will only worsen your injuries!"

Zhang Yu was genuinely worried that this guy might have used some Ancient Medical Arts to worsen his condition!

Xiao Qingxuan responded calmly, "That's Ancient Medical Arts that modern pharmaceutical companies hire online trolls to the Internet Water Army, all in an attempt to monopolize medical resources!"

"Don't worry, I will use the Five Elements True Qi to activate the mutual generation power of your internal organs, which will nourish your body, repair your injuries, and prevent your internal injuries from worsening... Hmm? Your constitution is so strong, it's actually working hard to heal on its own? That's even better, the treatment will be faster!"

Zhang Yu felt his heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and lungs gradually healing faster under the opponent's magical power. He exclaimed in surprise, "What's the principle behind this?"

Xiao Qingxuan replied, "Don't ask me why about the principles of mutual generation and restraint among the internal organs. I understand the mutual generation and restraint among the internal organs, and I also understand cells and bacteria, but I don't understand the relationship between the two, and I can't explain it to you!"

"I can only tell you that Ancient Medical Arts and the medical technology of the modern Immortal Dao system... are completely different things!"

Xiao Qingxuan simply pressed Zhang Yu's shoulder with his Cultivation Method, and the exchange between the two was completed in an instant!

At the same moment that Xiao Qingxuan and Zhang Yu were communicating, Ma Xuan also completed his communication with Ji Yuan Shu and Cong Na outside!

Ji Yuan Shu: What's the situation inside?

Ma Xuan: Bu Ziran been knocked down.

Ji Yuan Shu: What about Zhang Yu?

Ma Xuan: They're still fighting us.

Himeko Shu:???

Upon seeing Ma Xuan's reply, Ji Yuan Shu was astonished!

"You four surrounded Zhang Yu for over twenty seconds, four upperclassmen ganging up on a sophomore... and you ended up getting one of yourselves killed?"

"Did you guys rig the match?"

Ji Yuan Shu really wanted to ask Ma Xuan and the other three these questions, but he knew he couldn't say anything that would be detrimental to the alliance right now!

He could only say, "Shi Huaiyu is leading men to chase after me and Cong Na. Cong Na is too slow; we're about to be caught. What do we do now?"

Ma Xuan never expected that in just twenty seconds, the situation on both the inside and outside sides would change drastically!

Zhang Yu and Xiao Qingxuan were already charging towards them, and a chaotic battle broke out again amidst the layers of walls!

Streaks of Dragon-Shaped Gang Qi surged from Xiao Qingxuan's body, sweeping towards the crowd before him.

Zhang Yu moved around Xiao Qingxuan's side, constantly blocking attacks for him!

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingxuan would occasionally infuse Zhang Yu with a stream of Five Elements True Qi to heal his injuries!

With the help of Zhang Yu's Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra and Civil Engineering Sacred Body, his injuries gradually stabilized within a certain range, maintaining extremely high defensive power while also being able to unleash extremely strong combat power!

With Xiao Qingxuan and Zhang Yu working together, one attacking and the other defending, Ma Xuan and his companions felt their bills keep skyrocketing, while the two in front of them remained energetic and showed no signs of weakness!

After Cong Na, who was outside, was also won over by Shi Huaiyu, Bu Ziran directly said in the group, "Just vote, don't waste your money."

Bu Ziran: Four against six, there's no chance left!

Yang Yan: Let's vote.

Gusu Su: I voted.

Ji Yuan Shu:???
