Chapter 709: Chapter 65: Suppression
The red light barrier suddenly stopped, and the fourth stage began. The Saintess and others looked to the sky, eager to see where the first place was.
Before long, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light beams rose into the sky.
"Huh, why is this red light beam rising above us?" someone puzzled while gazing at the sky.
Carl looked over, showing a surprised expression as he realized that the first place was actually within their team all along.
The Saintess followed the light beam and noticed that the red beam was rising from Su Changxing’s body. She exclaimed, "It’s you!"
She never expected Su Changxing to be the first place, because he was just a Tier Seven Extraordinary, never showing any extremely strong ability.
Others also stood up from the ground, looking at Su Changxing warily. They had always thought the first place was a demon capable of spreading plagues, but they never imagined it was someone among them.
Su Changxing stood up from the ground, looked up at the light beam above his head, and said with a puzzled look, "Sigh, why is this thing above my head? Could it be broken?"
You keep pretending... Qu Ping lying on the ground rolled his eyes at Su Changxing’s performance.
He had guessed earlier that Su Changxing was likely the first on the ranking board, pretending to be dumb right in front of him, deceiving his feelings, how detestable.
The Buddha Son looked at Su Changxing with a serious expression, performing a zen gesture with one hand, "Benefactor, you are the one spreading the plague, right?"
Su Changxing spoke lightly, unconcerned, "So what if I am? But one thing is for sure, I am not a demon, this should count as unfounded slander against me, right?"
The Buddha Son rotated the Buddhist beads with a darkened face, calmly said, "Those parasitized by demons often are not aware of it themselves. Benefactor, it seems to me that you have been parasitized by a demon, and it’s very dangerous."
Su Changxing nodded seriously, "You have a point."
The Buddha Son emphasized, "Benefactor, I wasn’t joking."
Su Changxing smiled and said, "Then what?"
The Buddha Son frowned, only to notice then that Su Changxing was indeed an Extraordinary of Tier Six, "Benefactor, if you persist in your folly, don’t blame us for being rude."
Su Changxing maintained his composure and said, "Meaning you all are planning to attack together? Are you sure you can beat me?"
He turned his head to look at Carl not far away and said, "What do you think? Is our prior cooperation still valid?"
Carl’s expression changed slightly, showing a bold smile on his coarse, dry face and said straightforwardly,
"I said we could cooperate under suitable circumstances, but now the situation isn’t ideal. You have too many points, and if you survive until the end, you might take most of the benefits, which I can’t accept."
His attitude was clear, he was ready to join forces with the Buddha Son and others against Su Changxing.
The others were the same, not caring if Su Changxing was actually a demon, only thinking that he would take too much of the benefits in the end.
Su Changxing touched the back of his head lightly laughing, "Isn’t living good enough? You all want to die instead? I’m giving you an opportunity, anyone who withdraws now, I can let them live till the end."
His casual words conveyed a dominant meaning, full of confidence.
Hearing this, the Buddha Son and others felt a heaviness in their hearts; the calmer Su Changxing was, the more they dreaded him.
At this time.
The Saintess suddenly spoke, raising her hand with a cheeky smile, "Uh, actually I can withdraw, it seems I don’t necessarily have to advance here, no need to take this risk."
Before she could finish her sentence,
The Buddha Son had already launched an attack, with a colossal Ancient Buddha materializing behind, a massive palm striking towards Su Changxing.
Su Changxing snapped his fingers lightly, and an eye as if of a venomous snake in dark green appeared above, its gaze covering the surrounding area.
Domain, "Poison Eye".
At the same time.
Others preparing to rush up fell to the ground one by one, the plague in them erupting, with decay accelerating by tenfold, a hundredfold, like a series of time bombs being detonated.
The Ancient Buddha’s palm didn’t even reach Su Changxing before it started disintegrating, turning into shimmer like feathers, disappearing into the space.
The Buddha Son trembled, kneeling on the ground, his arms entirely decayed, revealing stark white bones.
In the camp, everyone else, including Carl and the Saintess, fell in unison; the sudden outbreak of the plague rendered their bodies completely paralyzed, leaving their consciousness in chaos.
The entire camp was subdued by him with ease.
Su Changxing clapped his hands lightly, walking towards the Buddha Son with a regretful expression, "Ah, didn’t I say earlier, you definitely aren’t my match? Over such a long time, the plague within you may not seem serious, but it has already penetrated your bones."
The Buddha Son’s gaze dimmed, seeing Su Changxing like this, feeling he was a true demon, or scarier than a demon, like a toxic snake hidden silently beside them, waiting for the right moment to strike.
He closed his eyes, his entire body crumbling from exhaustion due to the plague, sighed slowly, "Benefactor, but I can sense the real demon lurking in your heart."
"Still threatening me at this point?" Su Changxing felt a bit helpless, feeling these bald heads all shared a similar sense of stubbornness, not changing even in death.
The camp was filled with constant screams, cries, coughing, some tried to stand up only to fall again, while others lay motionless.
The Saintess also fell to the ground, yelling at Su Changxing, "I said earlier I was withdrawing, you can’t go back on your word."
Su Changxing smiled, approached her, squatted in front of her, and said, "But you did say you wanted to kill me earlier, how should we count that?"
The Saintess lay on her side, looking up at him, snorted cutely, "But I didn’t make a move, just speaking for fun, don’t you agree?"
"Do you?" Su Changxing showed a questioning expression.
The Saintess nodded like a pecking chick, "Yes, yes."
Su Changxing mused, "What if you seek revenge after leaving?"
The Saintess hurriedly said, "No way, I swear by the name of the Doomsday Cult, I won’t retaliate, and I will keep everything happening here confidential, how about that?"
Su Changxing sighed, "Does the name of the Doomsday Cult truly matter?"
He had earlier stolen part of the Saintess’s memory, knowing some things about the Doomsday Cult, and was quite shocked.
The Saintess spoke a bit helplessly, "Then what do you want?"
Su Changxing thought for a bit, "Call me brother."
The Saintess froze for a moment, "Huh?"
Then, she cautiously called out, "Brother?"
Su Changxing’s left eye flashed with a dark sheen, he stood up, snapped his fingers, "Not going to kill you, don’t get any weird ideas before the game ends."
The Saintess was full of questions, surprised Su Changxing let her go so easily, the numbing sensation in her body subsided slightly, enough for her to move:
"You really are so strange, with such strong power, why were you hiding earlier, what on earth is that ’Blood of Madness’ you mentioned?"
She was still curious about what Su Changxing had made her drink earlier, which managed to bring her nearly out of control spirit back on track.
