I've Been Waiting for You!

Jiang Chi was starting to feel the strain.

He is neither Today's Warrior nor Druid; he does not possess inexhaustible Divine Power.

Being able to hold out against four opponents for so long is enough to prove the word "peak". He had already seized the opportunity to break out, but he didn't expect the Chameleon to give him a big surprise at the end.

This "silent" Believer silenced all escape routes, and this silence was indiscriminate, a silence born of Faith.

This means that even the caster himself no longer has any active talents to use. So when Jiang Chi stumbled into this area in surprise, the two of them started fighting in the most primitive way.

Da Yi didn't realize that the Hunter's trap was so well hidden that he only realized it would be a melee after his talent was silenced when he stepped into it.

However, this was not a problem for Da Yi, who was skilled in combat, especially since that the Great One was still in the city, so he had no reason to be afraid.

So he charged forward again, charging forward like a warrior.

Jiang Chi saw Da Yi's figure. Lacking strength, he didn't think he could face this Assassin who was known for his strength head-on, so he deflected the Chameleon's longbow and, dragging his injured thigh, jumped to the outer edge.

He wasn't as agile as the Hunter, but he had the advantage of good timing. The Chameleon, having lost momentum and retreated, couldn't catch up immediately, and Jiang Chi actually managed to run away a distance.

Just as Jiang Chi was about to jump off the roof and turn into the alley, another figure suddenly appeared in front of him, a figure he absolutely did not want to see.

Fate Weaver!

The Fate Weaver of Fate, who had most likely killed Screaming Count, stood before him, toying with a Scalpel with a playful expression, blocking his path.

"Cheng Shi!" Jiang Chi froze, his face darkening. "We have no grudge against each other..."

Cheng Shi scoffed, interrupting his moralizing. "Ah, right, right, I'm a bad seed. I kill good people. What a pity, you look like a good person to me."

As he spoke, he threw a Scalpel, which landed directly in front of Jiang Chi's feet.

"..."

Jiang Chi's gaze sharpened, realizing that there was no turning back now. But instead of complaining or arguing, he immediately changed direction and ran towards the outside of the high wall.

He didn't think he could defeat someone who could defeat Gongyang Jiao head-on, but what he didn't know was that Cheng Shi had already switched back to the Priest, which was precisely the weakest side in this three-way encirclement.

Jiang Chi held his breath and strode forward, preparing to leave Kannaal City and withdraw from the struggle for the "Gift of Scars".

This place has lost all its safety for him, making it impossible to continue his Trials. The question is, can he escape from the pursuit of five people?

Disaster!

Because at the very moment he changed direction, the Gongyang Jiao broke free from the shackles of [time] once again, blocking the high wall he was facing!

Now, apart from the Poison pinned to the wall by the longsword, Cheng Shi other three had perfectly surrounded the lonely Believer in Time within the silent domain.

Jiang Chi looked Despair, but he still had no intention of begging for mercy or admitting defeat.

He simply held the short blade horizontally in front of him, using his last bit of spirit and willpower to keep his eyes and ears open in all directions.

Fortunately, in the silent area, the crowd's movements were not so rapid, giving the exhausted Jiang Chi a chance to catch his breath as they slowly closed in.

But he also knew that this might be his last chance to breathe.

"Fate Weaver, you can't kill me!"

Jiang Chi looked at Cheng Shi with a gloomy expression. His tone didn't sound like he was making threats, but rather like he was stating a fact with certainty.

Cheng Shi chuckled, unmoved, and continued forward.

I don't ask to kill you in a Trials, but I'd be happy to take your life.

It's true that Peak Player can be resurrected, but they can't keep resurrecting forever, can they?

Each of their lives is precious enough that killing them even once is enough to make them feel the pain.

As for the so-called issue of making enemies... if the other party isn't afraid of making enemies with you, why should you worry about it so much?

The other three continued to follow Cheng Shi's footsteps and encircle him until Cheng Shi stopped at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, at which point all four of them stopped.

Although Cheng Shi didn't say how to make a move, everyone present was a master, and they all understood and were waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity was the moment the [Silence] domain shattered.

No barrier can last forever, and such a large-scale silence cannot last long. When the silence fades and the blessing of Faith returns, Jiang Chi will face the greatest crisis of his life.

And that moment is right now!

"Click—"

The sound of the domain shattering rang in everyone's ears. The eyes of the five Peak Player in the arena flashed, and their bodies trembled at the same time, all of them moving!

The Assassin was undoubtedly the fastest to react. Da Yi immediately threw out the iron spikes in his hand. In order to prevent the freezing of [time], the trajectories of the six iron spikes were different.

The instant the iron rod shot out, he himself followed the trail of light and rushed out, the direction clearly towards the top of Jiang Chi's head.

The second fastest was the Hunter. The Chameleon had already drawn his longbow to its full extent long ago, quietly waiting for this moment to arrive. As the one who set up the trap, he knew the duration of this Silence Domain much better than the others. So, the arrow in his hand was released with a "whoosh" almost a moment before the field shattered. The arrow was imbued with the power of [Silence] again when it was halfway through its flight!

Gongyang Jiao reacted quickly as well. Perhaps it was because he had been cooperating with the Chameleon for a long time. The moment he saw the Hunter's arrow burst out, he had already activated it. When the domain shattered, he transformed into a terrifying hurricane and swept towards Jiang Chi in the center.

Only Cheng Shi stood motionless in place, even slowing down the speed at which he spun his knife. Just by looking at him, one would feel that he was full of flaws.

But when the flaw is too great, can it still be called a flaw?

Cannot!

This is clearly a case of surrounding three sides while leaving one side unfinished.

Anyone who has read military strategy knows that this is a strategy to lure the enemy into breaking out. Jiang Chi, who is at the center of the battle, is even more aware of this. Even if Cheng Shi did not make this gesture, he would not be able to break out in the direction of a Priest who is "capable of killing a peak warrior".

So Jiang Chi moved. Under the immense pressure of life and death, he relied on his keen sense of smell to find the most advantageous direction for himself. Then, he used all his strength to dodge the arrows of [Silence] and the iron spikes of [War], and charged headlong into the direction of [Filth and Decay] without looking back!

He discovered that only the Gongyang Jiao had the weakest aura!

Despite the most terrifying attacks, the warrior is the only target with a chance to withstand the attacks head-on and break through, compared to the Assassin's agility and the Hunter's speed.

So the two warriors collided almost the instant the domain shattered.

The ram's claws pierced Jiang Chi's shoulders, and Jiang Chi's short blade pierced the ram's chest. The two warriors fought to the death from the moment they met, and the intensity of their battle was no less than that of Cheng Shi's Cheng Shi fight with the ram.

But team battles are not turn-based. When you are stuck in a struggle with someone, others will not wait for you. Just as Jiang Chi's short blade was stuck in Gong Yang's chest, Da Yi, who had leaped up high, had already smashed down from the sky!

Six iron spikes spun and fell, the light they drew like a twisted cage enveloping the two desperate men. At this speed, in the next second, Da Yi would only need to pull them gently, and the two inside would be turned into pieces of flesh without any difference.

Jiang Chi clearly did not want to die. Surrounded by enemies on three sides, he had no room to maneuver. Helpless, he could only fix his gaze and raise the Pocket Watch in his left hand again.

But at that moment, the Gongyang Jiao grinned maliciously.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
