Chapter 282

However, Shen Xing merely glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Do you know why I kept you here?"

Lachlan looked up, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Because... I want you to experience the taste of roast chicken again."

Upon hearing this, Lachlan realized something, his pupils dilated instantly, and a surge of fear welled up in his heart.

The next moment, he suddenly got up from the ground and leaped directly onto the lotus leaf.

Clearly, Lachlan would rather drown or jump off than experience that terrifying flame again.

"Splash—"

A jet-black chain shot out, instantly wrapping around the falling Lachlan and pulling him back.

With a gentle flick, Xiao Hei threw him onto the lotus leaf, and the black chains extended, completely binding him.

Lachlan was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Shen Xing in the distance.

He's at most a Tier Two lord; even if he has some skills, he's no match for the Leader Rank Xiao Hei.

Moreover, he is currently severely injured and has no ability to resist whatsoever.

Shen Xing's lips curled into a smile as he ordered, "Leina, go. Remember to control the heat; don't burn him to death all at once."

"Yes, my lord."

The red-haired woman stepped forward, raising her staff high, and dark red flames rose up.

"Whoosh!"

In Lachlan's desperate gaze, that terrifying flame quickly spread throughout his body, and a familiar yet horrifying pain surged through him like a tidal wave.

"Ah!!!"

He let out a heart-wrenching scream, rolling wildly on the lotus leaf like a burning fireman.

Although you won't die completely in the Lotus Pond Secret Realm, the pain is real, and logging off won't help.

Lachlan could only endure it all, writhing in agony on the lily pad.

The other lords, hearing the heart-wrenching screams, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The lords present had also heard that the red-haired mage's flames were terrifying, causing a burning sensation and pain far more intense than Common flames.

But no one dared to save him, and no one wanted to save him.

The lords of Heavenly Star Nation had also recovered and were watching this scene with lingering fear.

"Brother, this guy's strength is even more terrifying than we imagined."

Wu Wen, carrying a 3.2-meter-long spear, stepped forward and looked at the long-haired man beside him.

"Yes..." The long-haired man nodded, sighing, "We were thinking of going over to lend a hand, but we almost got ourselves into trouble."

"Wu Hun Leader, even you are no match for him?" Another young lord with a buzz cut asked tentatively, "You are a genius lord who broke through to the Tier Two a year ago!"

The long-haired man glanced at him and said calmly, "In terms of overall strength, my territory is enough to crush him; this is a victory."

"In terms of lord-level combat power, I have already entered the second level of spiritual power: the Mastery Realm. With my full power unleashed, I can kill Tier Three Elite. This is a win-win situation."

Do you think I'm his match?

"Uh..." The crew-cut lord was stunned for a moment. "Then how come we were being suffocated by him just now, and almost crushed to death?"

Wu Hun: "..."

"That's because my elder brother is kind-hearted," Wu Wen, holding a long spear, stepped forward and said. "My elder brother considers him a fellow citizen of Heavenly Star Nation, so he wanted to save him face in public and didn't unleash his full power."

"I see..." The crew-cut lord nodded in realization, then exclaimed excitedly, "Indeed, Brother Wu Hun is the strongest!"

"If he goes all out, Shen Xing can take him down with one hand..."

"Ahem..." Wu Hun coughed twice. "Sun Tie, don't get hung up on who's stronger or weaker. We're both lords of the Heavenly Star Nation, there's no need to argue about these things."

The crew-cut lord nodded repeatedly, but the admiration in his eyes deepened even further.

"Brother, did you see clearly what kind of technique he used just now?" Wu Wen asked seriously. "That domain is very strange. You can't see anything inside; even the light is being swallowed up."

"I don't know." Wu Hun shook his head. "But based on my guess, it's probably the ability of one of his Tier Three heroes."

"The opponent possesses extremely strong shadow power. With a sudden outburst, she dragged us all into her domain, killed us, and then disappeared back into the shadows."

"So we never saw the other party's true form from beginning to end."

Wu Wen nodded, his gaze becoming even more serious.

Before this, everyone thought that the strongest person beside him was that heroic mage.

Through observation over this period of time, it was discovered that the orc also possessed extremely terrifying combat power.

But no one expected that, in addition to these two main heroes, he had a hidden hero under his command who was no less formidable than the two.

That's terrifying!

It's like he has three heroes all to himself, and each one is more powerful than the last.

This foundation is unmatched even by established lords like Wu Hun.

At this moment, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the third level of the secret realm.

Unaffected by the recent ambush, Shen Xing continued to lead his team, rapidly sweeping across the lotus leaves.

As usual, Xia Wanyin led them quickly to the target location, and then Leina and Hellscream worked together to clear out all the monsters.

Finally, the four lords would take turns striking to deliver the final blow to the enemy.

"Pop! Pop pop!"

The sound of water droplets bursting, mixed with Lachlan's screams, echoed throughout the entire secret realm.

Two and a half minutes later, they had taken down a total of three 'Water Elemental Boss'.

Meanwhile, Lachlan on the other side had completely lost the strength to struggle, twitching on the lotus leaf like a burning corpse.

Shen Xing glanced at the time and ordered, "Alright, Leina, send him on his way."

"Yes."

The red-haired woman beside her raised her staff, and the fire element in the air was instantly condensed by her.

"Boom!"

A massive fireball rained down from the sky, blasting Lachlan into countless fragments.

On the leaderboard, the name that was originally at the top disappeared, and Shen Xing and his three companions moved up one place, taking the top four spots.

Half a minute later, the familiar prompt appeared before my eyes.

[Ding! The third level of the Lotus Pond Secret Realm challenge has ended. We are now checking the leaderboards for various secret realms!]

[Your ranking is: 1st]

[Enter the next level of the secret realm?]

The four exchanged a glance, then clicked "Yes" without hesitation.

The entire Lotus Pond began to distort, everything shattered, and everyone disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, with the end of the third level of the dungeon, 99% of players worldwide have been eliminated.

They all logged onto the forum to discuss the battle in the Lotus Pond Secret Realm.

At this moment, some well-known lords with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers suddenly joined forces to post and bombard Shen Xing on the forum.

Exposed! Shen Xing of Heavenly Star Nation is a despicable and treacherous villain who deliberately feigned weakness to harm more than twenty of our lords!

Shen Xing of Heavenly Star Nation, our Black Dragon Gang is your sworn enemy!

Lachlan suffers a devastating defeat, the Daoton Family is wiped out, and they vow to make Shen Xing pay the price!

I have firsthand photos of braised Lachlan here, DM me if you want it!

Chapter 187: New Team Member Joins, Yu Feifei's Hidden Profession!

On the forum, all sorts of posts popped up all at once, attracting a large number of onlookers.

They clicked in one after another and quickly learned the whole story through the comments section.

Jiangnan's Senior Schoolmate: "I thought something terrible had happened. Turns out these guys wanted to team up against Shen Xing, but they were no match for him and he wiped them all out in one go."

Sea Immortal: "I heard that Lachlan promised each of them 500 million. Now look what happened, they didn't get the money, and they lost their ranking too."

Lien's Spoon: "How pitiful, and only made it to the third floor. Just one more floor and you could get the 'Rain and Dew Essence.' If it were me, I'd probably cry my eyes out."

The Eight-Treasure Porridge in Underpants: "Hahaha, doesn't this serve them right? How dare these guys even post this?"

Lulu: "Lachlan is really pitiful. I heard Shen Xing burned him for a full five minutes. He'll probably be traumatized for the rest of his life."

Various comments emerged under these posts, but most were from spectators and gloating, with many lords of Heavenly Star Nation applauding.

Meanwhile, inside a seaside base in the Petrel Nation.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Shen Xing, I will definitely kill you! I will tear you to pieces! Ahhhhhh!"

The blue-haired man, like a raging beast, tore all the sofas and furniture in the hall to shreds, venting his anger!

The young men and women around them remained silent.

Although they were eliminated early, they heard about Lachlan's subsequent experiences and understood how he felt.

One of the heirs of the prestigious Daoton Family was roasted alive for several minutes in front of so many people.

Coupled with being eliminated from the group this time, you can imagine how Wrath he must be.

"Lachlan, what are you doing?" A deep voice sounded from outside the door.

Everyone in the hall turned to look.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with long blue hair and a weathered face slowly walked over.

He possessed a unique power that drew everyone to him wherever he went.

Those cold eyes held an arrogant disregard for everything, yet also concealed a hint of anger.

Everyone knelt down in unison, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Master Cross!"

Lachlan also saw the newcomer; the anger in his eyes vanished, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
