The situation spiraled out of control, and a major battle was imminent.

This time, however, no one stopped. The two opponents were clearly fooled and "broke their guard," and simply did not believe that Qin Xin would appear in the True Universe.

Qin Xin even heard Hong Lin across the table turn around and eagerly instruct Cheng Shi:

"Be careful. I might not be able to look after you for a split second when I rush in, but that's all I'll be able to do. He won't last a single breath in my hands."

"?"

Qin Xin's eyelids twitched. Although he knew that Hong Lin's imagined opponent was the liar who had deceived them, the pride of a Believer in [War] was still ignited by being told such things to his face.

Cheng Shi, remained steady. He pressed Hong Lin's shoulder and whispered:

"Don't let your guard down. He's not the real Qin Xin. Even though he's been lying to us and seems hesitant to make a move, no one can be sure of his true strength."

If you can win, then fight; if you can't...

Cheng Shi's eyes darted around as he surveyed his surroundings, his voice growing even softer, "... run! We don't know how many people are behind him, but we can't fall into his trap."

Cheng Shi tried to keep his voice down, but as Eagle Eye Scout, Qin Xin still heard every single word clearly.

At this moment, he was 90% certain that the other party was Cheng Shi and Hong Lin. The remaining 10% required a battle to confirm it, so he had no intention of backing down. At the same time, he also wanted to use this "war" to relieve all the frustration and depression he had felt over the past ten days.

He needs an outlet for his frustration!

Qin Xin is human, not a god. When the pressure piles up and makes him feel suffocated, he also needs to lighten his load.

In the original world, he kept the secret of Passing the Flame and took into account the feelings of other Fire Keeper. No matter how bitter, tired, or confused he was, he could only silently digest it and lick his wounds alone in a corner.

But now, in this vast True Universe, apart from the two people in front of him, no one knows him, and he doesn't know anyone. He doesn't need to worry too much. He just needs to go all out and he can rediscover himself in a war, and incidentally determine whether the other party is a liar in words or a friend in deeds.

Of course, the premise is that this war absolutely cannot be lost!

So, the instant Hong Lin transformed into Giant Bear and roared as she charged toward him, Qin Xin frowned and coldly looked at her. He released the force between his fingers, letting the long-feathered arrow shoot out and explode in mid-air into countless streams of fire, which fell as a cage, blocking the Giant Bear right in front of him.

The flames surged wildly, flowing backwards like a waterfall!

The roaring flames, like fireworks reversing time, faded into buds, locking the Hong Lin within, burning it all away.

Even if the fire in this cage could scorch all living things in the world, it could not burn through Hong Lin's defenses, nor could it stop her full-force attack.

In the blink of an eye, the Giant Bear broke free of its cage.

But it must be said that no matter how fast she is, it still takes the blink of an eye!

In that brief moment, Qin Xin seized the opportunity again, drew his bow, and aimed his arrow at another target: Cheng Shi, who was hiding far behind!

The moment Cheng Shi sensed that he had been locked onto, his face darkened.

He felt he probably couldn't withstand that arrow.

Qin Xin showed no mercy. He didn't even consider whether Cheng Shi could block it, because he knew that even if the Clown couldn't, the Druid would definitely block it for him.

His gaze sharpened, and he released a startled note.

"Whoosh--"

The white feather, once released from the bow, transformed into a sky full of fiery arrows. As it drew closer, the flames rained down like a storm, and by the time it reached us, it was as if a dam had burst, with Crimson Flame pouring down.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply. There was no way to avoid it. Just as he was about to be burned to ashes by the overwhelming flames, a mottled yellow figure flashed by in the next second, accompanied by a howling wind that extinguished the surrounding fire and pulled Cheng Shi out of the deadly situation.

Hong Lin is back. She has no hesitation when it comes to attacking the enemy or defending herself; Cheng Shi's life is more important than anything else.

Qin Xin was not surprised at all, and even aimed his next arrow at Hong Lin again.

With one arrow blocking the enemy and another harassing them, he intended to wear down Hong Lin on this battlefield with its endless reinforcements.

As the other side of the battlefield, Hong Lin naturally saw through Qin Xin's tactics, but at this moment, for her, there was no solution to this situation.

Cheng Shi treated the burns on Hong Lin's skin, his expression equally grave.

This was undoubtedly a battle between numerical monsters and mechanical monsters. Hong Lin charged forward relentlessly, breaking through every formation. Although his strength was formidable, he could not withstand Qin Xin's calm and composed command, who skillfully deployed his troops.

This Believer in [War] is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and every decision he makes is able to avoid the Giant Bear's attack and directly strike at the Clown's weakness.

After fighting for a short while, Cheng Shi realized that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise Hong Lin might really be dragged to her death here.

His eyes darted around, and as the Spotted Leopard led him out of the fire, he whispered to Hong Lin:

Take this and watch my moves. Don't worry about me, just take him down first!

Hong Lin understood, dodged the rain of fire, shook off the Clown, and charged towards Qin Xin without saying a word.

Qin Xin used the same trick again, briefly stopping the enemy, but just as he was about to aim at Cheng Shi again, he found that Cheng Shi had disappeared, and there was only a cloud of smoke where the other party had just been.

If it were just hidden in the fog, then burning the whole cloud of smoke would suffice. The problem is that, besides Cheng Shi's original location, the path Hong Lin flew through was also covered with smoke.

These plumes of smoke are far apart, and the time it would take to strike all of them at once would give Hong Lin an opportunity to get close.

But once the enraged warrior gets close, to be honest, even if he is the Chosen of God of [War], Qin Xin cannot guarantee that he can face Hong Lin's sharp edge.

He is not afraid of close combat; he is simply considering whether it is necessary to escalate the situation further.

Eagle Eye Scout is best at observing the battlefield. Based on the information revealed on the battlefield, the two people in front of him are undoubtedly real. Every move they make matches Qin Xin's understanding of them. So, facing his friends, with their identities 100% confirmed, should this battle continue?

Qin Xin was conflicted, realizing that the other party had also seen through his identity. He wondered whether he should give up and have a proper talk with them.

However, his fighting style made Hong Lin feel deeply frustrated, which ignited his anger. The moment Hong Lin broke out of the cage, the Giant Bear roared and leaped up, slamming down straight towards Qin Xin.

Qin Xin drew his bow to meet the attack, but he was still a fraction slower than the Giant Bear. Left with no other option, he could only dodge. And so...

"Bang--"

A tremendous tremor shook the Starry Sky, and this Believer in [War] finally paid tribute to another Token of his Lord of Grace in this battle.

Blood!

Blood splattered everywhere!

His heavy armor dented, his body flew backward, and Qin Xin was forcefully slapped away.

Feeling the power of the attack, Qin Xin frowned slightly.

Hong Lin's offensive seemed strong, but it was weaker than expected, indicating that although the opponent was angry, she was still holding back.

Qin Xin knew that he had insisted on fighting first, so he took the hit as an apology. But just when he thought that the two sides would calm down and test each other properly, Hong Lin launched another attack.

And judging from their furious expressions, it's clear they're determined to fight to the death!

Qin Xin's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you want to continue fighting?"

The one who answered him was not Hong Lin, but Cheng Shi, who was hiding in the smoke.

You think you can just say you won't fight and then you won't?

Today I'm going to beat you to death, you hard-shelled old turtle!

Big Cat, bite him!

"..."

Hong Lin and Qin Xin's faces twitched simultaneously, and they clashed violently. However, Qin Xin was, after all, Hunter, and how could he possibly gain the upper hand over a Druid in terms of strength? He quickly fell into a disadvantageous position in the struggle.

He looked at Hong Lin, who was so close he looked like she wanted to smash him into mincemeat, and his brows furrowed again.

"Hong Lin isn't that weak. Who exactly are you?"

The Giant Bear's rage intensified, and she roared:

"I'm your mother!"

As it spoke, the bear slammed down with its paw again, sending Qin Xin flying once more.

Seeing that his opponent refused to give up, Qin Xin had no choice but to face the battle that was beginning to go inexplicably. He kept examining the identities of the two people in front of him and slowly began to doubt his previous assumptions about their identities.

At this moment, the only thing he can do is to take advantage of Hong Lin's weakened state and win the battle decisively. Only then, with absolute control of the situation, can he find out why these two appeared in the True Universe.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qin Xin retreated, rolled to dissipate the force, and seized the opportunity to create distance. He then drew his bow again, preparing to counterattack.

This time, however, the arrow began to ignite before it even left the bowstring, with tiny sparks flying everywhere, dancing wildly in the wind, and soon setting his eyebrows and hair ablaze.

With a roar of flames, the man engulfed in fire returned!

The Believer of [War] were once again bathed in flames.

Seeing this, Hong Lin paused briefly, her brows furrowed; Cheng Shi also withdrew from the smoke, his face grave.

However, what made them so prepared was not Qin Xin's transformation, but rather that at the moment of Qin Xin's transformation, a ray of celestial light seemed to sense it and actually flew down from the distant Starry Sky, directly pouring onto Qin Xin's body.

The flames Eagle Eye Scout's body instantly turned blazing white and violent, terrifying beyond compare!

His blood seemed to be drawn and summoned, leaping up and flying back to merge with the flames into a sky-covering vortex of Bloodfire.

At that moment, Qin Xin, who opened his eyes amidst the flames, was as if he had personally witnessed the [War]!
