I still refuse.

Lu Bai's words not only caused the Heide, Sector Chief, to stop adjusting his uniform collar.

Even the fanatics who had been thrown aside earlier and were still a little dizzy began to doubt whether they had misheard.

Judging from the actions of Heide, Sector Chief, this Deathmatch Arena is clearly not set in a normal modern context, and the level of individual combat may be higher than expected.

This is precisely why the fanatics completely failed to understand why Lu Bai was so determined to seek death.

With such a large gap in combat strength between the two sides, it's better to play it safe; you might just be able to save your life.

Even in the best-case scenario, he'd end up in jail, but that's still better than sending it directly, right?

Lu Bai offered no explanation, silently replacing his main title [Innocent Smile (Two Star)] with [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth (Four Stars)].

At the same time, the hidden subtitles were removed, and the two menacing titles, [Frenzied Slaughter (Four Stars)] and [Ultimate Murderer (Four Stars)], immediately appeared above his head.

The three lines of text above his head, in a black and red tone, looked as if they were cast in blood and had dried and turned black over time.

Incidentally, he had upgraded the star rating of the title [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth] once, but he hadn't worn it before.

In other words, all three titles he currently holds are four-star.

In an instant, a suffocating killing intent emanated from his location.

Upon seeing the three titles that suddenly appeared above Lu Bai's head, the fanatic was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"This... how is this possible..."

It is no exaggeration to say that under the overwhelming murderous aura that seemed to solidify into a tangible form, the fanatics felt as if they could smell the thick stench of blood.

Not far away, Heide, Sector Chief frowned for the first time since he appeared, amidst this inexplicable turn of events.

He genuinely had no way of seeing the titles worn by the Deathmatchers, nor did he know that the titles would provide them with passive effects.

But he could easily sense Lu Bai's completely different aura, and even vaguely see the faint crimson waves around Lu Bai.

A strong sense of foreboding filled Heide, Sector Chief's mind. The person standing before him no longer seemed like an innocent boy, but rather a bloody abyss filled with coldness and murderous intent.

Out of a sense of duty, he forcibly suppressed his biologically instinctive urge to escape, and solemnly flexed his wrist.

"I misjudged you; it turns out you're the most dangerous one among them."

Such terrifying killing intent must have been cultivated by personally torturing and killing countless people. Thinking of this, Heide, Sector Chief couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Regardless of anything else, just that chilling and terrifying aura alone is enough to get him thrown into B Sector.

How could they assign such a dangerous guy to D Sector? What are they doing in the interrogation room?

Lu Bai made a very ordinary lifting motion, but in the next instant, he appeared next to the fanatic, having covered a distance out of thin air.

He waited a moment with a smile on his face, then turned to face Heide, Sector Chief.

Click!

As Lu Bai turned around, a crisp sound of bones cracking rang out. The fanatic's neck twisted as if it had been violently kicked off, and he stopped breathing on the spot.

[Bite!]

[Points +1, Current Rank 5/186]

Witnessing this scene, Heide, Sector Chief's eyes gradually narrowed, and a fine layer of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.

Something's not right, something's definitely wrong with this kid!

He stared intently, but didn't see how Lu Bai made his move at all.

In his mind, the most likely possibility was that Lu Bai's speed was faster than his own reaction speed.

But... how is that possible?!

Even with exceptional talent, shouldn't someone possess such formidable skills at such a young age?

Lu Bai naturally wouldn't explain what "Flash Time" was to this Section Chief; his face remained that innocent, radiant smile.

"Hai, Heide, Sector Chief?"

He scratched his head, as if he had just remembered the other person's name.

Before the Section Chief could answer, he continued, "Your job is to prevent prisoners from escaping, which I understand, so I don't want to fight you..."

He paused, his smile fading slightly. "However, if you insist on trying to stop me, I don't mind."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the prison wall.

Heide, Sector Chief watched Lu Bai leave with a solemn expression.

Should we spar with this strange boy?

Heide hesitated.

To be honest, he really couldn't understand what was going on with Lu Bai's two previous attacks.

He was unwilling to take any risks before he had a clear understanding of the situation.

The sound of violent pounding continued to come from inside the iron gate, which annoyed Heide. In a fit of rage, he punched the heavy iron gate and smashed it open.

The Prison Guard on the other side of the iron gate who were banging on it were in for a lot of trouble, and screams of agony filled the air.

After venting his frustrations, Heide, Sector Chief calmed down a bit and quickly sensed that something was wrong.

If Lu Bai is truly that strong, then why was he imprisoned?

It's important to know that the inmates in D Sector are generally not highly skilled criminals.

If someone is voluntarily staying in prison for some reason, then there's no reason for them to escape, let alone need to team up with a few useless people to do so.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a big problem here.

"Could I... have been tricked?"

Realizing this possibility, Heide, Sector Chief's teeth clenched so tightly they cracked.

He immediately moved his feet, taking three steps at a time, and sprinted in the direction Lu Bai had left. After running a distance, he even used both legs to burst into the air, helping him leap dozens of meters into the air.

Without a doubt, this is an inhuman level of jumping ability.

For Heide, it was just a normal journey.

To maintain his mysterious and aloof demeanor, Lu Bai had previously always strolled around leisurely.

Once out of the sight of Heide, Sector Chief, they switched to full speed ahead, even using [Flash Time] to maximize their movement efficiency.

But ultimately, too much time was wasted at the beginning.

Furthermore, their movement speeds are completely different.

He had barely touched the high prison walls when a deafening roar came from behind him.

Looking back, one could see that Heide, Sector Chief.

Lu Bai estimated that it would take another two or three more times before they came to him.

Now that things have come to this, it's clear that [Ink Dye] can no longer keep this trump card hidden.

He didn't care whether Heide, Sector Chief could see it clearly or not; he simply smiled in that direction.

Then, with a casual flick of his fingers, he raised his hand.

The next second, an endless darkness, seemingly capable of devouring everything, spread out wildly, instantly covering the entire prison.
