[Major Announcement! Curry Kingdom contestant "Sharman Gandhi" confirmed dead in the Forbidden Land!]

The news of Sharman's death instantly appeared in every contestant's Live Stream Room.

It was extremely conspicuous.

Especially in the Yan Kingdom and Curry Kingdom.

They had the largest populations on Blue Star.

Their live stream rooms also had the highest online viewership.

Even though it was already nighttime.

They still maintained over a billion concurrent viewers.

Yet no one expected that contestant Xu Fan would pull off a counter-kill in the end!

Almost everyone's face bore an expression of utter shock!

Contestant Sharman, who held absolute control...

was dead?

"L-lies, right? How did Sharman die? He was the one holding the gun!"

"Sorcery, the Yan Kingdom contestant used sorcery!"

"Unbelievable, why did Sharman end up dead?"

Countless Curry Kingdom viewers' pupils dilated, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

Their mood at that moment was like a roller coaster, plummeting straight to rock bottom.

They couldn't believe it.

They couldn't accept it.

But no matter how much they rejected the truth.

They couldn't change what had already happened.

In the footage, Sharman lay collapsed in the cave, his head blown open by Xu Fan.

A gruesome death!

The most terrifying part was...

Not only had Sharman failed to secure Forbidden Land resources for the Curry Kingdom.

But tens of millions of Curry citizens would now be buried alongside him!

For Curry Kingdom viewers, this was undoubtedly a massive blow!

The key point was...

How exactly did Xu Fan manage the counter-kill?

He clearly had no weapon in his hands!

Meanwhile, in contestant Xu Fan's Live Stream Room.

Yan Kingdom viewers were equally stunned.

Everyone's heart was filled with immense shock.

Especially compared to the despair just moments before.

Their current mood felt like a huge weight had been lifted.

Still, there was no doubt that contestant Xu Fan's successful counter-kill of Sharman.

Surpassed everyone's understanding!

They racked their brains but couldn't figure it out.

How exactly had contestant Xu Fan done it.

But one thing was certain.

Under contestant Xu Fan's calm and composed response.

The Yan Kingdom had once again escaped a crisis!

At least ten million lives had been saved!

For them, this was undoubtedly tremendous good news.

"Ahhh, when I saw Sharman pull the trigger, I went completely numb. Thank goodness, thank goodness, our contestant escaped death by a hair."

"Contestant Sharman's death was pretty brutal... his head... kinda disgusting."

"Then he got what he deserved. If he hadn't been so ungrateful, would he have ended up like this?"

Yan Kingdom's live stream room was flooded with a barrage of comments.

Among them, there was no shortage of condemnation from Curry Kingdom viewers.

"Yan Kingdom's contestant is a despicable, shameless villain! Does he know that this could cause tens of millions of people to die because of him?!"

"What happened to the so-called community with a shared future for mankind? Yan Kingdom has no shame!"

"This is too much! No matter what, you shouldn't kill!"

Just from reading the comments sent by Curry Kingdom viewers, someone who didn't know the situation might think Xu Fan was the one who killed and robbed.

But...

Anyone with common sense who had been watching the live stream knew.

It was contestant Sharman who fired first.

Xu Fan was merely acting in self-defense.

Not to mention in the Forbidden Land, where the law of the jungle prevailed.

Even on Blue Star, Xu Fan's actions were completely reasonable and legal.

"Here we go, here we go. Your contestant was the one playing White Wolf Eye first, and now that he got killed in return, you're playing the victim? Where was this energy before?"

"Exactly! When Sharman had the upper hand, we didn't hear any of you shouting about a community with a shared future for mankind."

"I think Xu Fan is doing Blue Star a favor. Who knows how many other contestants Sharman would have harmed if he got away?"

"Good riddance!"

At this moment, the majority of Yan Kingdom's viewers stood firmly united.

They were not swayed by the Curry Kingdom's barrage.

On the contrary, they continuously defended contestant Xu Fan.

And strongly condemned Curry Kingdom's Double Standard Behavior.

When Sharman was about to kill, they were jumping in everyone's faces.

Mocking their contestant.

Now they're playing the victim and calling for a community with a shared future for mankind?

Where was this energy before!

Go live your next life right!

Meanwhile, in the bottom-right corner of the live stream room, Host Xiao Ying's scalp was tingling all over.

Although Xu Fan's counter-kill of Sharman had relieved a huge weight from her heart, this was the first time in her life she had seen a human being's head blown off.

Even though Xu Fan's previous slaying of Forbidden Land beasts had tempered her mental fortitude, Humans and beasts were still different after all.

This scene created a powerful shock.

In an instant, host Xiao Ying felt her stomach churning, as if she wanted to throw up everything she had eaten today.

Her mind was filled with nothing but the image of Sharman's gruesome death.

Just holding back from vomiting took all her strength.

Let alone commentating at a time like this.

Brother Qiang and Yuan Yuan weren't much better off.

They were ordinary people, after all. When had they ever seen something like this?

In the end, it was Chen Warrior King, who was used to such scenes, who broke the silence in the live stream room.

"Did you all notice..."

"Xu Fan's hands turned black?"

Although night had fallen in the Forbidden Land, the campfire Xu Fan had lit was still burning.

By the firelight, Chen Warrior King clearly observed.

Just when Sharman fired his gun, Xu Fan's hands suddenly turned black, and not only that, It seemed as if a certain aura was coiling around his arms.

This scene struck Chen Warrior King as extremely unbelievable.

And Sharman's manner of death.

Based on Chen Warrior King's many years of combat experience, He was absolutely certain in his heart.

Ordinary physical strikes could not produce such damage.

At most, they would leave a bloody wound on Sharman's face.

This was caused by a bullet piercing through the head.

But how was that possible?

Contestant Xu Fan had never fired a gun.

Could it be that he had caught the bullet Sharman shot?

And thrown it back?

Thinking back carefully, Xu Fan did indeed make a grabbing motion.

But this was too fantastical, wasn't it?

This wasn't some kind of fantasy novel.

How could something like catching a bullet with bare hands happen in the real world?

It was simply preposterous.

Meanwhile, Director Zhang, who had seen his share of storms, stood by.

The gruesome scene of Sharman's death did not stir much turmoil within him.

Instead, he was shocked by Contestant Xu Fan's successful counter-kill.

At the same time, after Chen Warrior King's reminder, Director Zhang couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. "You're not trying to say that Contestant Xu Fan caught the incoming bullet with his bare hands and then defused the crisis, are you?"

Considering the impact this matter would have, Director Zhang deliberately used phrasing like "defused the crisis."

At the same time, a new question stood before everyone: just how had Xu Fan managed to do it?
