Lu Ren stood in the middle of Arena, the blood under his feet had not yet dried up, and the upper body of Five-Ring Soul King, Shrek, was still lying quietly not far away.
He raised his eyes, and the light passed over the edge of Arena and fell on Xuan Zi who was standing on the sidelines.
"You just committed an illegal act, did you know that? Who dared you to kill people from our college without mercy?"
Xuan Zi's chest rose and fell violently, and Level 98 Super Douluo's pressure surged out like a tsunami. The pressure was laden with undisguised murderous intent, and it was like invisible giant waves crushing towards Lu Ren one after another.
However, Lu Ren just narrowed his eyes slightly, and Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power formed an invisible barrier on the body surface, completely blocking out the pressure that would make ordinary Titled Douluo breathless.
He looked at Xuan Zi and said in a calm tone, "Violation? When Xu Sanshi killed two people in a row just now, you said personally that the person was dead. This only shows that Judge did not do his job. What does it have to do with our team members." Now I will give you the original words. Your person is dead. What does it have to do with me?"
Xuan Zi froze in place, his whole old face turned the color of pig liver.
Lu Ren These words pinched his lifeline accurately.
If he were to punish Lu Ren at this moment, it would be to slap him in the face for what he just said in front of the entire audience.
Shrek's reputation as "unaffordable" will spread across the entire continent tomorrow.
But if he didn't take action and just watched his student being chopped in half by this young man on Arena without any expression, where would the majesty of his gluttonous Douluo be put?
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of spectators in the audience completely exploded.
"That's right! The guy named Xu Sanshi just killed two people in a row. How come Shrek didn't say a word about violating the rules?"
"The double standards are too obvious! If one of your own people kills someone, it means Judge is not doing his duty." But someone else will stand up after someone kills theirs?"
"You're right! Shrek You can't afford to lose!"
"If you want to fight, let's fight fair. Don't do this nonsense! We came all the way to watch the game, not to watch you show off your power!"
Fight us hard! We are here to watch a wonderful game! Shrek people, get down quickly and don't hinder us!"
"That's right, get down! Get down quickly!"
Millions of viewers flooded Arena with overwhelming comments.
There were many Star Luo Empire dignitaries and Soul Master strongmen from various countries in the audience. They might not dare to openly curse like ordinary audiences, but the whispers and meaningful glances among each other made Shrek feel more anxious than any scolding.
Even Emperor Star Luo Empire, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned slightly, looking at Xuan Zi with a bit more scrutiny and displeasure.
Shrek Academy's reputation has always been excellent in the mainland, but today's operation is really ugly.
The audience doesn't care about so many illusions. As spectators who spend real money to watch the game, as long as they enjoy watching it and the game is exciting, that's enough.
As for Judge Rule, the disputes in the academy, and the situation on the mainland, they are too lazy to care about it. It is not their obligation.
Xuan Zi's face turned blue and white in turns, and the anger in his chest almost exploded, but he was suppressed by those millions of eyes.
What's even worse is that from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jing Hongchen in the distance, calmly raising the Level 9 Soul Tool in his hand. The gun was not pointed at him, but at the group of Shrek students standing on the sidelines behind him.
Jing Hongchen's voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the hustle and bustle. "If you dare to sabotage the game Rule, I will kill all your students. I want to see if you can stop me or if I can explode fast enough."
This time, most of Xuan Zi's pressure was released.
A Level 9 Soul Engineer attacks with all his strength. With his Level 98 cultivation, he may be able to block the first round of attacks, but his students will never be able to withstand it.
I am afraid that I will be roasted by these two parties today.
He gritted his teeth, unclenched and clenched his clenched fists, and finally suppressed the urge to take action, "The game continues! I want to see how crazy you can be!"
However, before Xuan Zi finished speaking, Lu Ren had already set his sights on Shrek's reserve team seat.
His eyes fell on one of the dark-skinned teenagers, He Caitou, Shrek reserve team member, Soul Tool specialized student, Huo Yuhao's friend.
The next second, He Caitou's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer.
Blood and pale fragments flew in all directions, splashing on the faces and bodies of the surrounding Shrek students, as well as on the ground beneath their feet that had been shrouded in the shadow of death.
Another life!
The entire audience was speechless at this moment.
As He Caitou died inexplicably with a headshot, the surrounding Shrek students Brain went blank, followed by overwhelming fear and disbelief.
He Caitou actually died like that.
No one touched him, he was just glanced at by Lu Ren, and then his head exploded.
What ability is this?
"Lu Ren! How dare you kill someone in public!"
Xuan Zi turned his head suddenly, his cloudy old eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, staring at the young man on the stage in disbelief.
At that moment, he could clearly feel an extremely condensed Spiritual Power shooting out from the direction of Lu Ren, accurately landing on He Caitou's head, and then He Caitou was gone.
"Where's the evidence?" Lu Ren glanced at him, his tone light and airy, as if he was asking a question that had nothing to do with him.
At the same time, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the Sun Moon royal team behind him.
"Chen Fei! Chen An! How are you alive?!"
Ma Rulong's voice changed its tone due to excessive surprise.
He stared dumbfoundedly at the two brothers Chen Fei and Chen An who were already dead and were being transported back to the Sun Moon Empire for a grand burial. They were sitting up on the stretcher with a confused look on their faces.
Chen Fei rubbed the back of his head, his expression was dazed and confused, as if he had just woken up from a long dream.
Although Chen An had just woken up, when he saw that Chen Fei was alive, he rushed forward and hugged his brother, his eyes red.
"Brother, you're alive! That's great!"
"I-I remember I lost consciousness on the stage----"
Chen Fei looked down at his hands, opening and closing his fingers, as if to confirm whether this body was really still alive.
"What's going on? I wasn't given to that Xu Sanshi----"
"Just come back alive." Jing Hongchen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Elder Ma, "But, didn't you say that they have--
"I don't know either." Elder Ma stood aside, his old face full of confusion and shock.
He watched with his own eyes as the two children were killed by Xu Sanshi on Arena. The fluctuations of Soul Power completely dissipated, and even the heartbeat and breathing stopped.
But now they are sitting on stretchers alive, except for the blood stains on their bodies, but their wounds have completely healed.
Lu Ren on the stage was expressionless.
Before rushing back to the arena, when he passed the bodies of Chen Fei and Chen An, he touched the two bodies that were still warm and poured Reverse Cursed Technique Release and Positive Energy into their bodies respectively.
After all, the deaths of Chen Fei and Chen An are inseparable from him.
It was his own decision-making problems that led to them being killed by Xu Sanshi.
If he stayed by himself and asked Ice Empress and Snow Empress to cooperate with Zhang Peng and the others to pick up Ji Juechen outside the city, there might not be so many problems.
"Lu Ren ah Lu Ren, there is something wrong with your mentality."
He warned himself silently in his heart.
Ever since he broke through Soul Emperor, Spiritual Power, stepped into the Spirit Domain Realm, and obtained Cursed Spirit Manipulation, he unconsciously began to despise everything.
Despise Shrek, despise this competition, and despise any reaction that your opponent may make.
Once a person has some strength, he will float to the limitless place.
This kind of contemptuous attitude should not appear on him.
And he decided to let the people of Shrek pay the price.
Anyone who cares about this or that will be killed.
Then Lu Ren's eyes passed through Arena and landed accurately on Xu Sanshi who was being supported by several Shrek students.
At this moment, Xu Sanshi had just been lifted off Arena by Xuan Zi. The glory of Black Tortoise Shield Martial Soul had long since dissipated, and he was so weak that he could not even stand still.
But his perception was still sharp. The moment he was locked by Lu Ren's self-light, all the hairs on his body stood up, and he suddenly raised his head to meet those cold eyes without any warmth.
The next second, Xu Sanshi's body suddenly began to expand.
The expansion came without any warning, as if an invisible hand was pumping madly inside his body, causing the skin to crack and crack, and the bones to make an unbearable friction sound.
He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his whole body exploded.
Xu Sanshi's body spontaneously expanded and then exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Blood and minced meat were splashed on the faces of everyone who was close to him like a heavy rain. Several Shrek female students were splashed with blood, and screams and cries exploded one after another.
Shrek has another bad news over there.
Before Xuan Zi could recover from the shock of Chen Fei and Chen An's bizarre resurrection, he heard the muffled sound of Xu Sanshi exploding to death behind him.
His Brain almost crashed at this moment.
Xuan Zi rushed back to Shrek's team, only to see Crimson's blood stains on the ground and a few remaining pieces of clothing.
Not even a complete body was left.
"Suspended! Suspended immediately!"
Xuan Zi suddenly turned to the main stand and roared in the direction of Emperor Star Luo Empire.
"Sun Moon Royal Academy people have violated regulations!"
"As the organizer, you must immediately suspend the game and conduct a thorough investigation! That Lu Ren used Spiritual Power to kill my people! There is definitely something wrong with his Spiritual Power!"
Xuan Zi's voice trembled slightly due to excessive excitement. Level 98 Super Douluo's momentum escaped uncontrollably, causing fine cracks to appear on the surrounding ground.
However, to everyone's surprise, Star Luo Empire's emperor Xu Jiawei just looked at him coldly, without any wavering on his unruffled face.
He was silent for a moment, and then said in a clear voice that everyone could hear, "I have not seen any illegal behavior by the Sun Moon Royal Academy, nor have I checked the specific methods used by the other party."
"I only saw that the students from the Shrek Academy died inexplicably in the audience, just like the two students from the Sun Moon Royal Academy were killed by your students on the stage just now."
These words were like a basin of ice water poured on Xuan Zi's head.
He widened his eyes and looked at Xu Jiawei in disbelief.
Just now, Star Luo Empire's attitude was not like this.
The emperor's words seemed to be stating objective facts, but in fact he was expressing his position in front of the whole continent: Shrek is not qualified to ask for suspension. Your people killed people on the stage and we didn't say anything. Now your people died off the stage, why should you blame others?
At this time, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, who was sitting next to Xu Jiawei, leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice to report to the emperor, "Your Majesty, our Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang has not come back since Just now left. I sent people to search for his traces, but until now there are still no clues."
"The last time he appeared was near Star Emperor Hotel, exactly where Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was staying."
Xu Jiawei's brows furrowed even more.
"You said that our Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang just disappeared like this - is it related to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"
Dai Hao lowered his voice. "That's not true. Cheng Gang is the person we sent to interface with Shrek. Shrek had a task for Cheng Gang to cooperate with. Then these things happened."
"Anyway, based on what we know so far, when Cheng Gang went to the hotel to look for Lu Ren, the mirror Hall Master Hongchen who was originally leading the team suddenly disappeared."
"Then the people from Shrek killed two students from the Sun Moon Royal Academy in a row, and then Cheng Gang disappeared. I suspect that this matter has something to do with Shrek."
"With Shrek's usual attitude of looking higher than his head, it is not impossible for them to let our Guardian Douluo take the blame."
"How could people from Shrek actually do such a thing?" Xu Jiawei's face darkened completely, and he tapped his fingers on the armrest of Dragon Throne, "Let our people do the dirty work for them, and then let our Guardian Douluo take the blame? Have all the glory of these ten thousand years been fed to the dogs?"
"But that's the fact." Dai Hao looked past Arena and landed on the two students in the Sun Moon Royal Academy's team who had just been mysteriously resurrected in the distance. "The strange thing is that the two Sun Moon students who were killed by Xu Sanshi suddenly came back to life."
"And Shrek has been killing people one after another, and Xuan Zi in turn asked us to suspend the game. From beginning to end, Shrek may have started this incident."
Xu Jiawei's face became more and more gloomy. "How can this be suspended? This is the finals. The audience has come all the way here. What they want to see most is a wonderful peak showdown."
"The audience doesn't care about all the twists and turns. If they didn't see the finals and it stopped inexplicably, then where would our Star Luo Empire's face be?"
"How can we gain the trust of the people from now on? It cannot be stopped, it must not be stopped."
"Indeed, only a few people died." Dai Hao added expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I have sent people to search for the whereabouts of Cheng Gang. I believe there will be news soon."
Xu Jiawei's face looked a little better now, and he nodded slightly. "Finally there is good news. Since the people of Shrek have made our people take the blame, we should avoid interacting with the people of Shrek in the future."
"The friendship that has been maintained for thousands of years cannot withstand their ruin."
"Why?" Dai Hao asked subconsciously.
In his impression, His Majesty's attitude towards Shrek has always been extremely favorable, and he almost regarded the first college in the mainland as a distinguished guest.
Now he actually takes the initiative to say "have less contact with each other". This change is really huge.
However, before Xu Jiawei could reply, a personal guard stumbled towards Dai Hao, leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear.
Dai Hao's usually calm face suddenly changed color after hearing this. He suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Jiawei, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he was still unable to speak.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Dai Hao's expression, the ominous premonition in Xu Jiawei's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty----Cheng Gang found him." Dai Hao swallowed, his voice as dry as sandpaper rubbing against a stone surface, "But----when our people found him, he was already dead."
"W-what?!"
Xu Jiawei bounced off Dragon Throne, and for the first time, obvious cracks appeared in the calmness on his face.
Guardian Douluo, Star Luo Empire One of the top combat powers on the surface, died so silently?
"How did he die?!"
"When we found his body, it was covered in cockroaches."
Dai Hao's expression is uglier than crying.
"Cheng Gang's body was found in an abandoned Valley outside the city. The entire body had been chewed beyond recognition."
"If it weren't for the Guardian Douluo exclusive robe he was wearing, our people wouldn't even recognize it was him."
"Your Majesty, in order to cooperate with Shrek's plan, our people ended up like this. Shrek must give us an explanation for this matter."
"Who did it? You are so brave, you dare to kill our country's Guardian Douluo!" Xu Jiawei slapped the Dragon Throne's armrest, and the overwhelming anger almost burst out from his chest.
However, at this moment, another official rolled up to him, with a horrified look on his face. He didn't even care about the etiquette of kneeling down. He leaned directly into Xu Jiawei's ear and reported in a trembling voice, "Oh no, Your Majesty, a cockroach that can stand up like a human has appeared in the city. It has gone crazy! It is killing people in the city!"
"So far, seven or eight Soul Saint have died in its hands, as well as two Titled Douluo!"
"It's extremely fast and elusive, and our people can't catch it at all!"
Xu Jiawei didn't bother to ask what this cockroach was, and immediately issued an order, "Send people to suppress it immediately! Assemble all the worshipers in the city, and kill this Monster in the city at all costs!"
He paused and then added in a deep voice, "In addition, immediately send someone to contact the people from the Shrek Academy and ask them to help exterminate this cockroach. Tell them that our Star Luo Empire's Guardian Douluo helped them, but ended up dying miserably outside the city. No matter what excuse they use, this time, the people from Shrek must clean up this mess!"
"We just lost one Titled Douluo, we can't just let it go!"
"Yes!" The official followed the order and almost rolled down the stand.
"The game continues!"
Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu After receiving the instructions from His Majesty the Emperor himself, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
He walked to Arena with weak legs and made a gesture to ask Xuan Zi to leave. His voice was involuntarily trembling. "Xuan Zi, His Majesty has ordered that the game will continue as usual. Please step down immediately and do not interfere with the progress of the game."
Xuan Zi stared at him, his cloudy old eyes almost bursting with fire.
Huang Jinxu was stared at by such a gaze that sweat ran down his back, but he gritted his teeth and held on.
He is Judge, the representative of the Star Luo Empire, not a vassal of Shrek.
He turned around stiffly and announced in as smooth a voice as possible, "In the third game, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Lu Ren wins!"
He just wants to end this damn game as soon as possible.
Every minute it takes, one more person dies.
And no matter where these people die, the final accountability will fall on him, the leader of Judge.
"Next." Lu Ren didn't step down, he didn't even move his steps. From the time he cut Five-Ring Soul King in half to now, he has always stood in the center of Arena. The blood under his feet has long dried up, but his whole body is like a sword that has just been unsheathed, and his murderous intent is still there.
The Shrek team members looked at each other in shock, with fear written all over their faces.
The tragic scene of Five-Ring Soul King being cut in half was still vivid in their minds, He Caitou was shot in the head at a glance, and Xu Sanshi was inexplicably exploded into blood mist in the audience. These scenes were replayed repeatedly in their minds.
Who dares to go up there?
Isn't it just a matter of death if you go up there?
They would rather be scolded by Xuan Zi for the rest of their lives than use their own bodies to test Lu Ren's attack range.
Xuan Zi gritted his teeth and stood up, his voice hoarse and angry. "In a personal battle, Shrek chooses to admit defeat!"
However, Lu Ren turned his head, glanced lightly at Xuan Zi's face, and said in a casual tone, "According to the competition Rule, you are not the team leader of Shrek, and you are not qualified to make decisions for them. Only the team leader has the right to admit defeat. You are just a guardian. Don't you even understand this basic Rule?"
Xuan Zi was furious and was about to speak, but he saw that right under his eyes, Jiang Nannan's body suddenly expanded, bursting from the body outwards just like Xu Sanshi before, and his whole body turned into a ball of Crimson's blood mist.
She didn't even have time to scream, and just disappeared without a sound.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Shrek's team finally collapsed completely.
Screams and cries were mixed together. Several female students huddled together and shivered, while the male students' faces were as pale as paper, and even the hands holding weapons were shaking violently.
This is already the fourth death among them.
He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, these young students who were supposed to have a bright future, died in front of them one after another in completely incomprehensible ways.
And every time there was no warning, every time no one saw what Lu Ren did, and every time it happened in front of Xuan Zi.
"We admit defeat, we admit defeat!"
Dai Yueheng finally broke free from fear as if waking up from a dream, and roared at the top of his lungs at Huang Jinxu.
"Shrek Academy surrenders in the individual battle! We won't fight this person in the knockout round!"
"Shrek Academy surrendered in the personal battle, and the next step will be 2-2-3 Battle Format." Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu announced with a pale face, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Just admit defeat. At least no more people will die if you admit defeat.
If he died off stage, he could still use the excuse that he was not under Judge's control, but if he died on stage, it would really be a dereliction of duty on his part.
