The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 447: Battle of the Human Ranking (asking for monthly votes)

[There is a traitor, creampie joy - this is the first thought that comes to your mind. 】

[But why are you surprised? Is betrayal a new term to you? ]

[When you were picking up trash in the safe zone, you were betrayed by the scavenger leader;
[When you became a superhuman and wanted to do something good, you were betrayed by the refugees you rescued;
[When you were conquering the wasteland with high morale, you were betrayed by the young nurse in your team;

[You finally made it to the top of the Judgment Department, but were betrayed by the local supreme commander;

[Even if you become the ruler of a country in the legend, you will still be betrayed by your own ministers...]

[Gua! How sad! Betrayal and selling out always run through life. Your life is like walking on thin ice~]

"...Don't make any noise, I'm thinking."

Xu Shu ignored Taichujuan who took the opportunity to "revolving lanterns" and held down the restless mermaid. He pretended to be under control and lay on the ground pretending to be dead. At the same time, he combined the information provided by Taichujuan to quickly observe and analyze the situation at the scene.

He looked around at the formation "Revelation 08" which had completely taken shape and blocked off the space.

This was done by six Red Emperor Army paladins who were at least in the middle stage of the third rank. Both their formation power and their individual strength were much stronger than the "Revelation XIII" they had seen when chasing Voodoo.

"They are all masters. If taken individually, each of them is capable of fighting against the Three Friends of Winter!" Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, and then looked at the idiot on the Contemporary People's List who suddenly appeared.

The man nicknamed "Purple Air Coming from the East" had his face covered with a bamboo hat and a red brocade. He was holding an eight-foot Chilong sword. His whole body exuded a perfect and satisfying aura, just like a sheathed blade, as if he had completely merged with the surrounding world.

"Grandmaster peak? Just looking at his standing posture, I feel that he is extremely strong."

Xu Shu smacked his lips and finally glanced at the traitor.

Zhang Runzhi's condition was very strange. Although he had a ferocious and sinister smile on his face, as if his plan had succeeded, he looked pale and very weak, as if he had been seriously injured.

It was as if he had really meant to kill himself when he stabbed himself in the chest just now.

"This……"

"Since he entered the ruins as a team with Microwave Oven, Yan Huoxing and others, it stands to reason that no matter what he did, he would not harm his teammates."

"With the blessing of the Heart Fire Incense Burner, all attacks between teammates will be invalidated. This is the confidence that the formation brings to the ruins team members!"

"But he managed to contain everyone, including Yan, Lu, and Ai Li, who were in the same incense burner with him."

"He caused the contract to backfire by hurting himself... so he himself was also hurt a lot? It's possible, this is the corresponding limitation!"

Xu Shu took a deep breath and after a little thought he guessed the most likely reason, but he still felt pain in both his head.

Zhang Runzhi alone held back nine people, at least three of whom were at the same level as him.

If it weren't for the fact that his previous alliances always failed inexplicably and the mermaid had to take the blame in the end, then Zhang Runzhi's "self-mutilation" would have directly affected ten people, making everyone a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

This method is really clever!
Xu Shu now even suspected that Yan Huoxing and his previous teammates were deliberately framed.

If the old team members were not dead, there would be no need for the "remnant team alliance", and there would naturally be no reason to use the tampered "contract", which would be detrimental to Zhang Runzhi's harming his teammates and killing people for treasure.

So, all this was part of his plan.

His initial target was the golden bowl in the ruins, or perhaps some treasures on Yan Huoxing, Lu Bingwei and others?
As for Xu Shu, it is unknown.

He only knew that he and others were just unlucky and happened to become burial objects.

Of course, now is not the time to delve into this.

The most urgent thing is how to escape.

"Eight people, two on the list, one can't move, and one is in his prime..."

Xu Shu's heart moved, and his body moved along with it.

With a whoosh, it rolled twice on the ground like a crab and then disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, Xu Shu appeared outside the formation without any warning!
The Apocalypse formation set up by the six paladins can certainly seal off space and trap everything, including the shadows of "corpse chasers" or "criminals" that can transform into ghosts and sneak around.

However, Xu Shu's "wearing nine and stepping on one" is not among them!
Among all the formations or traps encountered so far, none can block "Dai Jiu Lu Yi", including the "Literary Inquisition" set up by Wu Liuzhi, who was ranked 51st on the Human List. This is Xu Shu's confidence.

At this moment, he suddenly appeared, holding a light gun that was emitting golden flames in his hand.

——This is the Sun-Chasing Golden Spear that the mermaid finally formed after working hard for more than an hour for Xu Shu!

This counterattack was so sudden and extremely fast that it caught everyone off guard and no one was able to react.

The six paladins of the Red Emperor's army didn't even notice that there was one person missing from the formation, and they were still trying hard to activate the formation, striving to nail one person on each cross.

Even the "butcher" who was known for 'seeking good fortune and avoiding evil' was only slightly stunned. He was surprised that Xu Shu could still move, and was also astonished why he could escape from the "Apocalypse Formation". Then he cast his gaze towards his teammates on the other side, but did not make any dodging move.

Because Xu Shu’s target was not the most damnable traitor Zhang Runzhi, but Yan Hui!

He was aiming at the most powerful enemy!
In a flash, Xu Shu appeared behind Yan Hui, who was standing coldly on the side as if watching from the sidelines. Without saying a word, he picked up the Sun-Chasing Golden Spear and stabbed him.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!
Xu Shu chose to deliver his strongest attack to his strongest enemy. This was the only way to break the deadlock after his analysis.

As long as Yan Hui dies, the dilemma will be automatically resolved!
"Um!?"

A terrifying aura appeared behind his head, and his inner spiritual sense was giving him a frantic warning. The man standing with a sword in his arms took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye, and his scalp instantly went numb with fear.

In his sight, a deadly scorching gun tip appeared, like a rising sun, smashing down on his head, covering the sky and the moon!

In that moment that was so small that it could not be described in terms of length, Yan Hui saw that the person behind the gun was not an enemy, but the kind face of his deceased grandmother.

He even heard his grandmother's friendly call when she was standing at the entrance of the village when he was a child - it was the revolving lantern! With Xu Shu's shot, Yan Hui, who was ranked second on the human list, was even knocked out of the revolving lantern!
At this most critical moment, Yan Hui's extremely strong desire to win finally took effect.

Because he saw his grandmother being pinned to the ground by a shrimp-shaped monster with a crocodile head. Her body was filled with shrimp stems, and she was spitting blood while telling him, "My dear grandson, run! Run quickly! You must stay alive!"

"To survive..."

“—Aaaaaaaah!”

At the moment when the golden spear was about to hit him, Yan Hui came back to his senses as if helped by a god.

He grabbed Xu Shu's shoulders with his backhand, and his whole body began to spin like a top.

Under the interference of spiral energy, Yan Hui pushed Xu Shu's body and made him stagger!

The Sun-Chasing Golden Spear narrowly passed through his face, instantly burning through his fur, flesh and blood, leaving behind white bone streaks, while its remaining power blasted towards Zhang Runzhi on the side.

The high temperature broke through the air, causing the air to deform and creating a hole visible to the naked eye!

"???"

Zhang Runzhi was so stunned that his eyes widened. He tried to run away even though his injuries worsened.

Boom!

The golden spear came into close contact with the ground, and the terrifying air wave of the explosion caught up with the fleeing Zhang Runzhi and knocked him away.

"Fuck you, you Yan! I'll fuck your mother!!!"

Zhang Runzhi kept vomiting blood, his entire body was almost completely burned, and he was cursing in pain and anger.

On the contrary, the six paladins who were in charge of the formation on the other side, although they reacted a little slow, were protected by their silver armor and were not at the center of the explosion, so they were not seriously hurt. They only swayed slightly in the air wave before they managed to stabilize their bodies.

It’s a long story, but in fact, from the time Xu Shu did a crab roll on the spot to activate the “Wear Nine and Wear One” move, to the time he appeared behind Yan Hui and launched a surprise attack, it all happened in a flash.

No, if Zhang Runzhi and the Red Emperor Army’s sneak attack could be considered a killing formation set up in a flash.

Xu Shu's sneak attack was even faster than lightning!

They are the specks of light on the lightning, the points of stone on the flint!

"Grass!"

Seeing that such a sneak attack was actually dodged, Xu Shu cursed inwardly, but had no intention of stopping. Instead, he straightened his waist and continued to attack.

As the saying goes, strike while the sick is at it, Xu Shu wants to take this opportunity to kill Yan Hui in one fell swoop!
As a powerful breath like a volcanic eruption filled the air, the mermaid, who was enduring the backlash of the contract, shuddered and opened her mouth.

Boom!
A large amount of blazing light burst out of her mouth, like the breath of a legendary giant dragon, covering the thirty meters in front of her - Yang Shen! Innate Qi!
Xu Shu had been nurturing the overflowing “Yang God Evil Energy” for two days!
The destructive power of Yang Sha is also extremely terrifying. Wherever it goes, the earth collapses and giant trees fall down.

There were two unlucky Paladins standing closest to this side who were unfortunately affected, and their bodies were doused in Yang Sha. After being hit by a powerful blow, they didn't even have time to scream before they were blown into pieces on the spot.

"My second Apu!?"

"what?!"

Just the impact was enough to instantly kill two masters above the mid-third level. This power is extremely strong.

The four paladins who were lucky enough not to be affected widened their eyes in horror, and were so scared that they wanted to drop their swords and run away on the spot.

It is worth mentioning that the holy swords left by the two dead knights are quite strong. Even after their owners died, they are still firmly stuck in the ground, ensuring the integrity of the formation.

However, Xu Shu was not satisfied with the result.

Because his main target, Yan Hui, once again used his body skills and that strange spiral energy to avoid the direct attack and was only scratched by the aftermath.

"People in the cunning way...are indeed cunning!"

Yan Hui, with blood all over his body, said with gritted teeth.

"So much nonsense."

Xu Shu got hit with another backhand punch.

However, at this time, Yan Hui, who had suffered two consecutive losses, had begun to fight back.

Xu Shu's first punch missed, and when he was about to elbow back, he found that Yan Hui in front of him was slashing him with a sword.

As sparks flew, Yan Hui inexplicably appeared dozens of meters away and dodged a powerful elbow.

Then in the blink of an eye, Yan Hui appeared again at a distance behind him and stabbed him with a sword, aiming at his kidney.

Xu Shu's eyelids twitched and he rolled on the ground trying to dodge.

However, the opponent's sword was like a maggot attached to his bones, and no matter how he retreated, it was getting closer and closer. In desperation, Xu Shu could only use his professional specialty, "Iron Wall and Copper Wall".

Layer upon layer of golden shields condensed in front of him like a steel wall. There were seven layers in total and they were extremely thick.

"What the hell?" Yan Hui cursed, seeming a little surprised, but the sword did not stop. He casually swung the sword and shattered a layer of the shield.

"The killing power is only slightly weaker than Wu Liuzhi's Broken Word Technique!" Xu Shu's heart immediately trembled, and he had a clearer understanding of the enemy's strength.

He was not stupid. If he resisted in this situation, he would be just standing there as a sitting target. Therefore, he held up his shield and fought while retreating, trying to become a mobile fortress.

However, in the eyes of a top "master", this may be no different from a snail.

Yan Huiren is as his name suggests, just like a flying swallow flying across the sky, shuttling back and forth and slashing continuously.

During this period, Xu Shu could no longer catch Yan Hui's backswing even once, and could not touch him at all.

Amid the clanging sounds of cutting, sword lights and shields kept colliding and exploding.

After seven consecutive sword strikes, Xu Shu's "iron wall" that was beyond ordinary people's imagination was completely shattered.

"broken!"

Xu Shu's heart sank, knowing that he had entered the rhythm of this martial arts master.

This would not be good to continue. In the open terrain like in the woods, the "Grandmaster" could maximize the advantage of his diverse body movements, and Xu Shu would not be able to even touch a piece of his sleeve.

Seeing more and more cracks around him cut by the sword light, chopping and chiseling in the air and the ground, another sharp sword energy shot out from behind. Xu Shu immediately drew his sword and mounted his horse, and his body turned into shining gold.

Jingwei reclamation!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Shu aimed at the direction, opened his mouth and bit the opponent's sword - he bit into nothing, and was hit by the sword in the waist. With a clang, the waist muscles and the sword blade confronted each other, and countless illusory sword shadows were ejected, and the ground sank another three meters.

"?"

Yan Hui was extremely surprised that after using the "Yan Fan" technique, which was always effective, he didn't even scratch the opponent's skin.

Although the "Dragon Elephant" is famous for its thick skin and tough flesh, it is difficult to kill.

However, this was the first time he had encountered a "Dragon Elephant" with such a thick skin, even though he had been dominating the human list for many years!
"Chance!"

Xu Shu seized the moment when Yan Hui was stunned, grabbed with his big hand, and moved up inch by inch along the opponent's sword, preparing to snatch the blade with his bare hands.

However, Yan Hui shook his sword, and it immediately turned into countless afterimages, like thousands of arrows shot at the same time, covering every corner of Xu Shu's body.

For a moment, the covering blow made Xu Shu's whole body clang. The damage he absorbed was getting more and more, and the pressure was also increasing.

Amidst the endless sword shadows, a purple light suddenly rose up. After circling around Xu Shu's waist for dozens of times, Yan Hui pushed Xu Shu upwards.

Whoosh!
Xu Longxiang, whose "strength comes from the ground", had unsteady steps and his body floated involuntarily in the air, like a hydrogen balloon, being thrown high into the air.

Four taels is worth a thousand pounds!
Almost at the same time, "Purple Air Coming from the East" Yan Hui, the Grandmaster of the Human List, struck a rather peculiar posture.

He squatted with his legs curled up, holding the sword in his left hand against his left chest, and drew two large circles on the spot, one inside and one outside.

In an instant, purple mist shrouded the ground, and there seemed to be a flock of chirping swallows flying by, bringing up an extremely bright full moon that condensed!

Wherever the dreamy moonlight shines, the void condenses and shakes!
Seeing this scene, "butcher" Zhang Runzhi, who was cursing in the distance, suddenly fell silent.

He knew that the winner had been decided and Xu Shu, the rookie on the list, was doomed.

This move of Yan Hui is his signature skill, and it is said that anyone who has seen this move will die.

But in fact, Yan Hui is only second-rate on the human list, not number one, so it is naturally impossible for him to kill everyone he sees. However, there are still many people who can recognize this move.

For example, Zhang Runzhi knew the name of this sword - When the swallows return, the moon is full in the west tower!

Recognizing it doesn't mean that this unique skill is not powerful. This is not the first time that Zhang Runzhi has cooperated with Yan Hui. He has seen Yan Hui use this move to kill the Nurgle demon commander who was famous for his strong vitality with one sword!

The strength of the "evil man" is obvious to all, but if you are hit by this move, there is absolutely no chance of survival!

Zhang Runzhi was relieved.

"Let's end it—"

Yan Hui pointed his sword diagonally, wanting to end this battle completely.

He knew that without the support of the earth, the "Dragon Elephant" could neither dodge the sword nor resist it.

No third-level person has ever been able to survive under the "Full Moon in the West Tower".

there has never been!

Being invincible is always so lonely... Yan Hui calmly put away his sword, turned around and paced, while the full moon rose into the sky at an unattainable speed and pierced Xu Shu's crotch.

It seems that everything is over.

At this moment, Xu Shu, who was stuck in mid-air and unable to move, could only watch the full moon rising into the sky as if it was going to split him in half, suddenly smiled.

His body did not move, but he disappeared without any warning, as if traveling through time and space, and reappeared in the formation surrounded by six... no, now he was surrounded by four paladins.

He withdrew one "wear nine and wear one"!
"..."

Yan Hui realized something was wrong, stopped quickly, and looked back in disbelief.

The full moon shattered Xu Shu's shadow, split the air and the long night, went straight up into the sky for hundreds of meters, and finally disappeared into the night.

Shot empty.

He shot at a fixed target and missed!
How can this be?

What about others?
Yan Hui looked around blankly, and finally looked towards the "Revelation" formation set up by the Paladin.

Xu Shu was inside, smiled at him, raised his middle finger to him, and seemed to be saying two words: "Sand Dollar."

"..."

Yan Hui's pupils shrank, and he leaped back to the formation several times in a row, with a look of astonishment on his face as he asked, "How did you do that?"

"Guess?" Xu Shu raised the corner of his mouth, but he was not at ease.

As far as the eye could see, except for Xie Xiaochan, Lu Bingwei and Yan Huoxing who were still struggling to hold on, the rest of the teammates, including Ai Li who was said to be in the late third stage, had all been nailed to the cross, their life or death unknown.

"This is terrible..." Xu Shu's heart sank as he quickly thought about how to escape this time.

Just now I was outnumbered one against eight, and although I caught the other side off guard and killed two of them, the situation did not get better, but got worse.

First, even if he sacrificed his life, he might not be able to kill the "Purple Qi Coming from the East" which had already become alert.

The second is that Zhang Runzhi is recovering quickly. No one knows what he has done to the contract. Although the people who were betrayed by him are still being bitten by the contracted ghost baby, he has gradually recovered from the "seriously injured" state and is gradually recovering his combat effectiveness.

Is this the strength of the top 300 people on the human list?
By then, under the combined efforts of No. 274 and No. 250 on the Human Ranking, my situation will only get worse. No, I must find a way to leave here!

To be precise, it is to find a way to get people away from here.

Although the two big ones were empty just now, Xu Shu initially determined that if he was determined to leave, he would have a considerable chance of running away directly with just the two opponents.

But there are still nine hungry children here, what should they do? Just how to get out of this formation is a problem!
unless……

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

While he was thinking, Zhang Runzhi had already walked forward, rubbing the wounds on his body with holy water while urging: "Yan Hui, why are you still talking nonsense? Kill them quickly, the night is long and dreams are many!"

Yan Hui frowned, then relaxed.

Although he was still curious about Xu Shu's means of escape, he also knew that Zhang Runzhi was right.

Now that the other party has been trapped in the formation again, it doesn't matter what means he uses. Anyway, he will definitely not be able to use it again in a short time.

Therefore, Yan Hui thought about it for a moment and nodded, giving a signal to the four remaining paladins.

The latter four immediately understood and began to redouble their efforts, activating the frequency of the entire formation to the extreme, making a buzzing sound.

The crosses were connected together, and deep prayers and wails from invisible sources filled the air, as if to refine everyone inside.

At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly stood up, holding a box, looked at Zhang Runzhi and said, "Despicable..."

Zhang Runzhi laughed sarcastically when he heard this: "I am despicable? Ha, the law of the jungle is the rule of the supernatural world. Rules are rules and they are not set today. Boy, your title is just a name. How can you be so naive?"

Xu Shu: “Despicable…”

Zhang Runzhi paused and said, "But it would be nice if there were more useless people like you who are too soft-hearted. Haha."

Xu Shu: “Despicable…”

Zhang Runzhi sneered disdainfully: "Is that all you can say?"

Xu Shu said again in a strange tone: "How despicable~"

"..." Zhang Runzhi's smile suddenly froze.

He finally realized that Xu Shu didn't say anything at all!

That weird, rhythmic "despicable" sound did not come from Xu Shu's mouth at all, but from something he was holding in his hand.

It was a music box with a strange shape, and it seemed to be made of some kind of wood!

Almost at the same time he discovered the problem, a huge amount of decadent music suddenly spread out.

"Despicable~despicable~despicable~oh~"

"Despicable~despicable~despicable~oh~"

Along with this dizzying, soul-piercing song, a huge passage broke through the blockade of the formation from the inside out, suddenly opened up and pointed to the distance.

Flawless Tool - Accelerator!
