Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 225, Section 016: Before the Fierce Tiger, All Beasts Fall Silent
Du Biao watched the burning car, which seemed to magnify in his eyes like a flaming horse.

"so what!"

Not to be outdone, Du Biao's aura intensified, and the red light generated by "Drawing a Circle on the Ground" gradually outlined the scene, like red lines moving across the ground, yet it solidly formed a light curtain, creating a barrier.

The red line converges faster than the car's speed. Even if it manages to hit the barrier, it will only crash into the barrier, and the car will be completely totaled!
What awaits him is a fatal car crash.

As the light screen in front of him fully formed, Du Biao finally felt relieved.

The barrier's defensive capabilities cannot be broken by the brute force of a car speeding through it. Even if it explodes, that level of destructive power cannot create a breach in the barrier.

Du Biao had the time to observe the other party, but was surprised to find that the guy named Jin Ziyue didn't even have the intention of slowing down.

The unease in Du Biao's heart did not lessen; on the contrary, as the other party approached, cold sweat inexplicably gathered on Du Biao's forehead.

His years of teetering on the edge of life and death made him keenly aware of something amiss.

At this moment, their teammates came to their aid. Because the barrier surrounded them all, it created a life-or-death struggle like an arena. With their numerical advantage, they completely wore down the traitor within the barrier.

What variables could there be?
Du Biao was unaware of this, but from the other party's extremely calm eyes, there was a vague expectation, as if the other party had no intention of offering their neck for execution.

The fiery beetle, engulfed in smoke, had no such thoughts. It charged forward, trembling and swaying, brave and fearless amidst the roaring flames.

coming!
Du Biao mustered his spirits and pushed his ability to "draw a circle around himself" to the limit. He believed that as long as he could withstand this attack, everything would be over.

The red barrier, like the aurora borealis, runs through the ceiling and the floor, resembling the hem of a goddess's skirt; the light curtain is vibrant and beautiful.

Just as the car was about to crash into it.

"Om-"

An invisible wave of energy rippled out from somewhere, like a king's decree, sweeping away everything. All the pronouncements were received and passed on in obscurity, vanishing in an instant.

That aura of majesty traveled with incredible speed, like an electromagnetic wave arriving in the blink of an eye. Wherever it swept, the world seemed to lose its filter, revealing its most primal colors.

To the astonishment of all the Fate Masters, their abilities were suddenly and uncontrollably retracted.

The "Survival of the Blade" ability has disappeared, weakening the greatsword's ferocity.

[Hinds muscle regeneration] disappears, treatment fails.

The "Victory is assured" effect has disappeared, and the original guaranteed victory effect is no longer effective.

The [blazing flames] disappeared, but Zhang Xi's fire-dispelling spell was still effective. However, the flames all over his body were now just black smoke, like a tractor sputtering.

[Unable to Fly Away] Disappeared, Ah Song, having lost his wings, fell into a fire while gliding and was uncontrollably swept towards the ground.

[Swift Meteor] disappeared, and as Zhang Rang ran, his body suddenly became heavy, and he could no longer move lightly and nimbly, causing him to lose his footing for a moment.

Most importantly, the "drawing a circle on the ground to imprison" has disappeared! The barrier that was originally created was like a mirage, it only made a brief appearance before turning into a harmless light screen and gradually dissipating.

Cheng Lin sensed something was wrong and tried to slip away, but found that [Boundless] was also ineffective, and even teleportation was impossible.

He looked angry and explained, "I can't catch up!"

The only one unaffected was the peerless loli Feng Qingqing. His "It's obvious to all" was just an auxiliary command, which did not affect his sudden grip on the car's trunk lid. However, because the trunk lid was already on the verge of collapse, even after tearing off the entire trunk lid, he could not effectively stop the blazing car.

"Biaozi, watch out!"

The one who shouted was Ah Song, who was usually quiet and reserved. Although he had fallen into the fire, his strong willpower allowed him to ignore the scorching flames and rush out, yelling at Du Biao, who was standing there stunned.

The car's speed didn't decrease!

Du Biao was brought back to his senses by Asong's call. He then realized that the bright red hood of the car had arched in front of him. In a panic, he jumped to the side and rolled, but was still hit by the distorted sound of the car and flew to the side.

At that moment, the car's fuel cylinder finally came into contact with the flames, and the engine emitted a dazzling light, like incandescence.

"boom!"

The entire vehicle was lifted up by the heat of the explosion, the frame still bouncing up and down, flames bursting out of the roof, scorching the corpses and skeletons.

Du Biao, who was closest to the explosion, was also affected by the aftershocks. He was engulfed in flames, thrown away, and rolled on the ground in pain.

The others were still in shock and uncertainty, only managing to regain their composure after witnessing the sudden turn of events.

The decrees had just disappeared en masse, and before they could even react, Jin Ziyue's car exploded right in front of them.

The peerless loli Feng Qingqing looked at the charred remains of the car, walked closer, and ripped off the frame.

Others gathered around, only to find that the plastic on the driver's seat had melted from the heat, and the foam in the seat cushion was charred black, but the driver was nowhere to be seen.

"Disappeared?" Zhang Rang looked incredulous.

Suddenly, the mysterious pressure subsided and disappeared like the receding tide.

Those present first cautiously looked around, but they found nothing unusual. Even the fluctuations of the other party's ability were very weak. Without careful observation, they would not be able to detect this strange ability to command words.

After a while, once it was confirmed that everything was alright, the decrees of everyone present were carefully released.

Upon closer inspection of Jin Ziyue's original car, its horrific condition evoked images of a steel beast struggling desperately.

"Did they escape?"

Wei Zheng covered his injured arm and murmured.

The others remained silent. Despite being surrounded by eight people, they still possessed this miraculous ability to rescue Jin Ziyue.

"What was that thing just now?" Chu Pingqiu asked, looking annoyed. His face was grim. Others might have suffered minor injuries at most, but his "Victory in Hand" ability couldn't tolerate failure. Every time he failed, he would be dejected for a long time.

My beloved destiny cannot withstand such torment.

Du Biao, covered in burns, lay on the ground, panting heavily. Zhang Xi used a fire-dispelling spell to dispel the flames on his body, while Xu Hong used the [Thigh Flesh Regeneration] spell to treat his burn wounds.

Asong's extensive burns were equally severe, and Xu Hong was overwhelmed treating multiple patients at once.

"It's an ability similar to sealing away fate." Du Biao, who had received some treatment, was covered in blood and pus, his charred hair and clothes, and dried blood stuck together.

"Cheng Lin... go check all the elevators immediately."

Du Biao seemed to think that the other party had not gone far.

Cheng Lin nodded and disappeared from the elevator entrance in the blink of an eye.

The underground parking garage of this building has two vehicle lanes, which were just blocked by them. Jin Ziyue couldn't possibly run out in full view of everyone, could he? So he could only escape by taking the elevator in the underground passage.

The others looked rather grim; this guy had managed to get away.

Cheng Lin teleported outside the elevator, glanced at the rising numbers, and didn't rush in. If the other party could still seal his life essence, then he would have overreacted.

So he simply stood quietly on the upper floor, waiting for the elevator to go up naturally, and then pretended to be a guest entering.

"Ding—"

The elevator on the second floor shuddered slightly, and the metal doors opened.

Cheng Lin stepped back to maintain a safe distance, squinting as he peered inside.

The door opened.

It was a woman. Her wine-red hair was tied in a ponytail, she carried a huge cello backpack, she had a slender figure, and her bright, mischievous eyes seemed rather quirky.

She had a lollipop dangling from her lips and smiled politely at Cheng Lin, but Cheng Lin, having mistaken her for someone else, was too embarrassed to step into the elevator.

Surprised? I have one more chapter.
