On the arena, the black-robed people's aura hung around like a shadow. The feeling of pressure slowly filled the air.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly made a move that caught everyone by surprise...
He put away his fighting stance, raised his hands, and signaled to halt the battle.
The air froze instantly, and everyone's movements stopped.
"What do you want to do?" The leading black-robed person stared coldly at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gave a blink and said steadily, "Slow down. I'd like to ask you a couple of things before the fight begins."
The black-robed person was silent for a moment and didn't refuse immediately.
"What exactly are you? And what's your purpose?"
The black-robed person had deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "Our existence... is different from yours. You regard this world as a game, but for us, this is a battlefield for survival."
Lin Yuan frowned slightly and continued to ask, "A battlefield for survival? Do you mean that if you win, we will die?"
"Die?" The black-robed figure sneered. "No. We'll enter your world, and you'll submit to us."
These words made everyone's expressions change.
"Domination?" Shen Haotian sneered. "You're just a group of inexplicable invaders. What gives you the right to dominate us?"
Instead of getting angry, the black-robed person laughed and said in a low voice, "The weak submit to the strong. This is the law of the world."
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "... It seems there's nothing more to talk about."
The black-robed person's eyes turned slightly cold. "It seems you've understood as well."
Just when everyone was gearing up for the fight, a sudden, dramatic turn of events unfolded on the arena!
Boom!
Golden energy barriers emerged in the air, and the battlefield was abruptly divided into three parts!
Xu Xingchen's voice sounded in different battlefields, "The three battlefields cannot interfere with each other. Unless all the people on one side in a battlefield have their health points reduced to zero!"
Lin Yuan glanced down and saw that he, Chu Yao, Gu Changfeng, Shen Haotian, and Xu Xingchen were on one battlefield. Hua Ruobing, some members of Tianshen Team 4, and Xu Xingchen's teammates were on another. The captain of Tianshen Team 4 and the rest of the team were on the third battlefield.
In each battlefield, there were four black-robed people!
"Tsk, it seems we can't count on support," Gu Changfeng flexed his wrists. "But it's okay. At least we don't have to worry about too many things."
"Try to finish the battle quickly!" Xu Xingchen said in a deep voice. "If we can win first, we can go and support the other battlefields!"
Lin Yuan nodded and his gaze fell on the four black-robed people in front of him.
The black-robed people didn't waste any more words. In an instant, the battle erupted!
Out of nowhere, a black-robed individual charged ahead, brandishing a sharp blade that cut through the air, hurtling directly towards Lin Yuan's throat!
Lin Yuan stomped on the ground, and his body suddenly leaned backward, narrowly avoiding the attack. Then, he spun his right leg and swept towards the opponent!
"Hmph."
Surprisingly, the black-robed person didn't back down at all. He blocked Lin Yuan's kick with one hand, and at the same time, he waved the blade with the other hand and slashed horizontally at Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan quickly moved his feet and crouched low. As he dodged the attack, he stomped hard and started punching wildly.
"Heaven-Shattering Fist!"
Boom!!!
The power of the fist was like thunder, crashing heavily onto the black-robed person, who was immediately sent flying!
But the black-robed person didn't fall. He somersaulted and landed, and the ground beneath his feet shattered.
"... This is somewhat interesting," the black-robed person said in a low voice.
Right then, Gu Changfeng and Shen Haotian unexpectedly swooped in and attacked the black-robed figure from the side!
"Hehe, how can we not take advantage of the moment when you were knocked flying to give you a stab?" Gu Changfeng sneered playfully, and a iron fan stabbed out suddenly!
The black-robed person instantly sensed the danger and dodged Gu Changfeng's attack sideways, but he ignored Shen Haotian.
"Take this sword!"
Shen Haotian's twin swords crashed down. The black-robed person quickly raised his arms to block, using his gear. But he still had to step back several times. His wrist guard broke, and his health went down.
"Charge!" With an order from Xu Xingchen, the long spear in his hand burst out with a dazzling light and stabbed towards the black-robed person like a shooting star!
The black-robed person had just stabilized his figure when he was forced into a corner.
"Tsk." The black-robed person snorted coldly and was just about to fight back, but at this moment!
Lin Yuan had already approached in an instant!
"Pseudo. Whirlwind of the Wooden Leaves!"
Bang!
Lin Yuan's speed suddenly increased. He dashed forward and materialized before the black-robed person, unleashing a relentless onslaught of punches.
The black-robed person's expression changed. He wanted to block, but he found that Lin Yuan's punching speed was too fast for him to see clearly!
"This guy..." Just as this thought flashed through the black-robed person's mind, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Lin Yuan delivered a powerful uppercut that sent him flying into the air!
The other three black-robed people wanted to go for support but were blocked by Chu Yao and the others.
"It's over."
Lin Yuan dashed forward and gave chase. In mid-air, he spun around and delivered a powerful kick.
Bang!!!
The black-robed person fell like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust!
[Ghost, health points reduced to zero!]
The battlefield was silent.
Looking at the fallen black-robed person, Gu Changfeng whistled, "Hey, Lin Yuan, that combo of yours is really good."
Lin Yuan waved dismissively and swiped the sweat from his forehead. "No time to chat. We need to take down the rest of these black-robed guys right away."
Xu Xingchen nodded and eyed the remaining three black-robed figures. "Stay alert."
Meanwhile, the other two battles were still undecided...
==================
擂台上,黑衣人的气息如影随形,压迫感逐渐弥漫.
林远深吸一口气,突然抬手做了一个出乎所有人意料的动作...
他收起了战斗姿态,举起双手,示意暂缓战斗.
空气瞬间凝固,所有人的动作都停了下来.
"你想干什么?" 为首的黑衣人冷冷地盯着林远.
林远眨了眨眼,语气平静:"别急,打之前,我想问你几个问题."
黑衣人沉默了一瞬,没有第一时间拒绝.
"你们到底是什么?目的是什么?"
黑衣人的目光深邃,嘴角微微上扬:"我们的存在...与你们不同.你们视这个世界为游戏,而对我们来说,这里是生存的战场."
林远微微皱眉,继续追问:"生存的战场?你的意思是,如果你们赢了,我们就会死?"
"死?" 黑衣人嗤笑一声,缓缓道:"不,你们不会死.我们会真实地出现在你们的世界,而你们将会臣服于我们的统治."
这句话让众人纷纷变了脸色.
"统治?" 沈昊天冷笑道,"你们不过是一群莫名其妙的入侵者,凭什么统治我们?"
黑衣人不怒反笑,声音低沉:"弱者服从强者,这是世界的法则."
林远眯起眼,淡淡道:"...看起来,没什么好谈的了."
黑衣人目光微冷:"看来你们也明白了."
就在所有人准备进入战斗状态时,擂台突然发生剧变!
轰!
空气中浮现一道道金色的能量屏障,战场骤然被切割成了三块!
许星辰的声音在不同战场中响起:"三大战场互相无法干扰,除非战场内,其中一方的所有人血量清零!"
林远低头一看,发现自己,楚瑶,顾长风,沈昊天以及许星辰被分配到了一块战场,而华若冰,几位天神4队成员与许星辰的几位小队成员在另一块,天神4队的队长和剩余的队员则被分到了第三个战场.
每个战场,都有四名黑衣人!
"啧,看来不能指望支援了." 顾长风活动了一下手腕,"但这样也好,至少不用顾及太多."
"尽量速战速决!" 许星辰沉声道,"如果能先赢,我们可以去支援其他战场!"
林远点头,视线落在面前的四名黑衣人身上.
黑衣人没有多余的废话,刹那间,战斗,爆发!
一名黑衣人骤然袭来,手中利刃破空,直取林远的咽喉!
林远脚下一踏,身形猛然后仰,险而又险地避开攻击,随即右腿一旋,向对方扫去!
"哼."
黑衣人竟然毫不退缩,单手挡住林远的踢击,同时另一只手挥舞利刃,朝林远横切!
林远脚步一错,整个人瞬间降低重心,避开攻击的同时,猛然踏地,拳头宛如疾风骤雨般轰出...
"天裂拳!"
轰!!!
拳劲如雷霆,狠狠砸在黑衣人身上,对方顿时倒飞而出!
但黑衣人并未倒下,他翻身落地,脚下的地面都被震碎.
"...有点意思." 黑衣人低声道.
就在这时,顾长风和沈昊天两人突然从黑衣人身侧杀出!
"呵呵,趁你被打飞的瞬间,怎么能不补上一刀?" 顾长风戏谑一笑,一柄铁扇猛然刺出!
黑衣人瞬间察觉危险,侧身避开顾长风的攻击,但却忽略了沈昊天.
"吃我一剑!"
沈昊天的双剑轰然砸下,黑衣人连忙架起手臂用那里的装备防御,但还是被砸得后退数步,护腕被震裂,血量下降了一截!
"上!" 许星辰一声令下,手中长枪爆发出耀眼的光芒,化作流星一般刺向黑衣人!
黑衣人刚稳住身形,便被逼入死角.
"啧." 黑衣人冷哼一声,刚想要反击,但就在此时!
林远已经瞬间逼近!
"伪. 木叶旋风!"
砰!
林远的速度陡然提升,他瞬间闪到黑衣人身前,拳头如狂风暴雨般砸下!
黑衣人脸色一变,他想要格挡,但却发现,林远的拳速,快到他看不清楚!
"这家伙..." 黑衣人的思维刚刚闪过这句话,便感觉腹部一阵剧痛,林远一记强力上勾拳,将他整个人打飞到半空!
其余三位黑衣人想去支援,却被楚瑶等人阻挡了.
"结束了."
林远身影一闪,追击而上,在半空中迅猛旋转,一脚猛然踢出!
砰!!!
黑衣人如炮弹一般坠落,狠狠撞击在地面,溅起漫天尘埃!
[鬼魅 血量清零!]
战场一片寂静.
看着倒地的黑衣人,顾长风吹了个口哨:"嘿,林远,你这套连招可以啊."
林远摆摆手,擦了擦额头的汗水:"没时间废话,先解决剩下的黑衣人."
许星辰点头,目光转向其余三名黑衣人:"别掉以轻心."
而在另外两处战场,局势仍然不明...
