Within the Soul Fighting Zone, the sounds of elimination echoed continuously.
Everyone was silently calculating how many people were left in the venue, but after a rough calculation, there were still ten people present.
Neither Xiao Xiao nor Wang Dong'er heard Huo Yuhao's name, which relieved them; at least Huo Yuhao hadn't been eliminated yet.
Everyone is heading to the central area now, and they've mostly split into several small groups, so it's unlikely anyone will be eliminated anytime soon.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er both had a feeling that Huo Yuhao was very close to the core area, so they quickened their pace and traversed the maze area, which was only about two meters wide.
With his hands in his pockets, Huo Yuhao searched his mind for the most suitable route and then quickly ran forward.
Sure enough, the wall in front of us instantly retracted, revealing the path to the central area. We took a step forward and dashed ahead.
Just as they were about to reach the central area, the wall at the front began to slowly close, and the surrounding walls also began to block Huo Yuhao's other paths forward.
Just as the wall was about to close, Huo Yuhao's body twisted at a strange ninety degrees, and like a spring, he flew directly towards the other side of the wall that was not yet closed.
Like an ape, Huo Yuhao lightly tapped his toes against the wall a few times before breaking through the blockade and successfully entering the central area.
On the high platform, Zhang Lexuan felt a sense of foreboding and quickly withdrew her control over the maze. She knew that Lord Shadow had discovered her tampering.
Unbeknownst to her, an embarrassed smile, as if she had been caught out, appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face.
She no longer dared to control the maze's direction, pretending that she hadn't done anything, and even guiltily shifted her gaze away from the Soul Fighting Zone.
Huo Yuhao didn't mind. He slowed down and prepared to find a conspicuous spot to sit down, since he was the first person to arrive at the central area.
The wall behind them made another loud moving sound.
A sharp, razor-sharp claw, accompanied by the sound of the wall shifting, suddenly lunged towards the back of Huo Yuhao's head.
Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched, and he bent over in the same direction, then lunged forward, slapping the ground with his right hand and kicking his heel backward, which struck the dragon claw.
The sudden change caused Bei Bei's sneak attack to miss instantly; she tapped her toes back and quickly created distance.
Huo Yuhao rolled forward a few times to regain his footing. Thanks to his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao already knew that it was Bei Bei who had attacked him.
Seeing her attack miss, Bei Bei gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! Huo Yuhao, you really deserve to die!"
Huo Yuhao frowned, patted the dust off his clothes, and said helplessly, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but do you really think you can kill me in front of everyone?"
Bei Bei clenched her teeth even tighter, the lightning in her hand became even more violent, and her dragon eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
Although Huo Yuhao's words made a lot of sense, they still struck a nerve with his vulnerable heart.
With a flash of lightning, Bei Bei vanished from her spot, rushing towards Huo Yuhao like a rapid electromagnetic ray. Her speed was so fast that even Zhou Yi, watching from the stands, was somewhat surprised.
For a moment, Zhou Yi was worried for Huo Yuhao. After all, it was already quite an achievement to run into the core area alone, and victory was within reach. It would be a real pity if he were eliminated like this.
The lightning in his pupils continued to magnify, Huo Yuhao could clearly see the irregular traces of the lightning streaking across the air. When Bei Bei was only five centimeters away from him, he casually took a step outward with his left foot, dodging Bei Bei's attack range.
Bei Bei Dragon Claws fiercely gripped the ground, leaving five finger-deep claw marks on the neat ground, stretching for a full five meters. Only then did it stop, and with another step, it charged towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao reached out and grabbed at the air, and the red and blue blade ' Hongchen ' appeared in his hand, directly confronting Bei Bei's dragon claw.
The sound of clashing metal rang out as the blade and dragon claw rubbed together violently, sparks flying everywhere.
The immense power seemed poised to tear Huo Yuhao apart.
Huo Yuhao was pushed back several steps by its enormous force. He didn't fight Bei Bei head-on. With a twist of his wrist, he used a clever trick to release the Hongchen from his hand.
' Hongchen ' circled around Bei Bei's dragon claw once. Huo Yuhao leaned back until his body was parallel to the ground, dodging the claw attack. He grabbed the sword hilt again with his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the sharp sword light pierced directly towards Bei Bei's eyes.
"Not good!"
Bei Bei sensed something was wrong, but the immense inertia left him no time to react.
Just as the sword's edge was a finger's width from her eyes, its sharp aura pierced Bei Bei's eyes, and reflexively, Bei Bei closed her eyes in fear.
However, the scene of ' Hongchen ' splattering blood on the spot did not occur; instead, it stopped abruptly there.
Bei Bei's eyelids trembled as she opened them, and a cold glint shot upwards, severing the hair on Bei Bei forehead.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had dodged her attack again and even cut off a strand of her hair, clearly not taking her seriously, Bei Bei felt a surge of annoyance.
Although he knew that Huo Yuhao was quite powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to be knocked away by him back then.
However, Huo Yuhao easily dodged these attacks, treating them as child's play.
This is blatant mockery!
Bei Bei didn't dare to be careless either, and once again kept her distance, looking at Huo Yuhao warily, pondering whether to unleash the raging lightning within her.
In the end, he gave up. If he failed here, it would affect his later plans and be a huge loss.
The lightning outside her body slowly receded into her body. Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao warily and slowly retreated.
On the high platform,
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe murmured, "Could it be that they're going to join forces? That would be a wise move, since Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao are the only ones left out. It's only natural for them to band together."
Just as Yan Shaozhe was thinking this, Huo Yuhao smiled and disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, it moved five meters and appeared behind Bei Bei, swinging its sword down. The ' Hongchen ' sword emitted a strong red and blue light, piercing Bei Bei's skin. The extreme heat and cold instantly penetrated through the blood and entered Bei Bei's body, causing the cold poison to enter her body.
Bei Bei let out a muffled groan, and her Soul Power erupted once more. The intense lightning directly sent ' Hongchen ' flying. Her palms transformed into solidified white jade, and she struck backward with her Mysterious Jade Hand. Her steps became illusory and uncertain, and in the blink of an eye, she had stretched ten meters away.
The wound widened due to the strenuous activity, and blood soaked through Bei Bei's school uniform.
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Oh? Not joining forces? Hahahaha, interesting."
Huo Yuhao's sudden action was indeed unexpected, yet it was also reasonable. Even though Huo Yuhao's performance had never been outstanding, his arrogance did have a somewhat monstrous quality.
Yan Shaozhe didn't know was that Huo Yuhao did this precisely because he wanted to eliminate him as quickly as possible.
After wandering around the maze for half a day, his enthusiasm had long since been worn away.
An incredibly lucky random player manages to make it to the final rounds, only to encounter a formidable opponent, fight back, and then be forced to be eliminated – this script is practically tailor-made for me.
Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, "Great, let's do it this way!" and finalized the next steps.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "First provoke him, then he makes a mistake, gets knocked away, then faints, and gets eliminated—it's perfect!"
He even mentally Simulation how he would be knocked away and where he would land.
After all, he had absolutely no interest in the title of Shrek Seven Devils.
" Huo Yuhao! You deserve to die!"
Bei Bei sealed her wound with lightning. Anger surged to her head, her face turned red, veins bulged, and the lightning around her body slowly turned a faint dark red.
A fierce aura suddenly erupted.
