Nine silhouettes reached for nine orbs of light.
Shen Yurou shattered the head of one silhouette with her spear, achieving an instant kill.
Lao Tie, standing beside the BOSS's corpse, moved and in an instant "bang bang bang bang" threw four punches, blasting four silhouettes away.
The remaining four silhouettes endured a barrage of Shadow Arrow Rain, taking over ten thousand points of damage, yet they managed to grab the four orbs of light.
Before Zi Liyuan, Shen Yurou, and the Hell Demon Puppet could make their next move, four scrolls appeared in the hands of the four silhouettes. In a fleeting moment, the scrolls were crushed, and four pale blue lights flickered, enveloping the four silhouettes and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Lao Tie, break their limbs!"
A roar resounded, and a grey-white Bone Spear, with the force of thunder, shot out rapidly, accurately piercing through the chest of a silhouette, exiting from behind.
Damage of over 14,000 floated above the head of that silhouette, and the person crumpled to the ground like a boneless corpse, turning into a dead body.
With a "bang" of a gunshot, Shen Yurou's sniper rifle once again fired a bullet, precisely embedding it into the skull of a shadow.
The head exploded, a headless corpse fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Lao Tie's figure flickered, leaving a trail of afterimages as he caught up with the two silhouettes he had sent flying. His powerful arms swung violently, brutally tearing the limbs from the two men's bodies!
Piercing screams rang out, only to vanish in the next moment.
Lao Tie loyally followed Zi Liyuan's command, tearing off the arms of the two men, then two iron fists transformed into heavy blows, crashing down on the roots of the men's thighs, savagely breaking their legs!
Unable to bear the intense pain, the two men rolled their eyes back and fainted.
"You damn mutts, daring to steal my monsters and loot. I don't care who you are, this isn't over!"
After picking up seven or eight items dropped by the BOSS, a murderous intent flashed in Zi Liyuan's eyes. He angrily approached the two men who had fainted, pulling off the masks on their faces.
Both men had blue eyes and prominent noses, a typical mixed-race foreigner look.
Casually taking out a bottle of water from his Spatial Backpack, he poured it over the two men's faces, waking them up.
Ignoring their pained moans, Zi Liyuan stepped on one man's wound, grinding it fiercely with his foot.
"Speak, who are you, what organization do you belong to, what's the name of that archer?"
Due to the foolish actions of the pigskin suppliers, the Great Xia Empire had been left with many problems, especially since one-third of the nation's population had been enslaved by the Coalition of Nations, causing the empire to now have many mixed-blood children with the Yan Huang Bloodline.
These people were naturally also eligible to take the university entrance examination.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me... My name is Jiang Jie, and he is Luo Ming. We are both examinees from Yi Continent and members of the Green Bamboo Gang. The master archer is Jiang Tianyou!"
In these days, while evading the pursuit of BOSSes, they naturally learned that the rules within the blood-red barrier had changed: once dead, they would truly be dead.
Facing life and death, is this a hard choice for an 18-year-old examinee?
Moreover, they had just witnessed the ferocity of Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou; the bodies of their dead companions were still not far away!
"How many more of you are there?"
"A total of one hundred and thirty-eight people are trapped in the blood-red barrier."
"What's Jiang Tianyou's status?"
"He is the seventh son of the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang in Yi Continent, and the Green Bamboo Gang is one of the six major factions in Yi Continent."
As soon as Zi Liyuan asked his questions, the two men scrambled to answer them, fearing that a slow response would get them killed.
From the mouths of these two men, they got a good understanding of the Green Bamboo Gang and Jiang Tianyou, while Zi Liyuan also spotted some anomalies.
The Green Bamboo Gang of Yi Continent has been aggressively recruiting mixed-bloods, which is very strange.
Jiang Tianyou is no pushover either. According to these two, in the past few days, they've repeatedly fought monsters and plundered treasures within the Blood Barrier, even committing acts of murder to silence others.
"Li Yuan, we shouldn't take Jiang Tianyou lightly."
Seeing the unhidden intent to kill in Zi Liyuan's eyes, Shen Yurou hurriedly offered a reminder.
According to the intelligence extracted from the two men, the influence of the Green Bamboo Gang was so strong that it could sway the political decisions of Yi Continent.
If they were to kill the son of the gang's leader, it would inevitably bring them major trouble and create unnecessary obstacles for their future endeavors.
"No one can steal monsters and treasures from my hands, Jiang Tianyou is as good as dead!"
A local power in Yi Continent, no matter how formidable it may be locally, even capable of swaying political decisions, so what?
It's just a local force, and they're not in Jiangnan Province. If they want to deal with me, they'll have to find me first.
Moreover, after the college entrance examination, I will surely enter Dragon Academy. Would the Green Bamboo Gang dare to trouble me there?
Glancing at the dismembered corpse of the Spider Monster, Zi Liyuan felt an itch of hatred.
This was a boss with a total health of ten million!
And now it was blown up into several pieces, losing its use as material for the Corpse Explosion Technique.
As for the loot dropped by the boss, it also made his heart bleed. Could the drop from a Second Order Lord Boss really be compared to that of a First Order Lord?
In the end, someone snatched the last hit, preventing the activation of his talent, resulting in a measly drop of a dozen or so items, with only six being silver-grade, three of which were stolen.
Such a loss was so painful it was almost suffocating!
Having suffered such a setback, Jiang Tianyou must die!
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Liyuan casually scattered a bottle of monster blood on the ground, ignoring the two individuals who were desperately pleading despite their limbs being severed. He then headed toward the hideout they mentioned with Shen Yurou.
The hideout wasn't far from the battlefield, just two streets away. By the time the two of them arrived, it was empty.
His Spirit swept through the desolate building, which no longer had a single examinee inside, only some leftover trash.
"This guy isn't stupid. Seeing that we had no trouble dealing with the Spider Monster, he naturally wouldn't dare stay here. But escaping won't be so easy."
Raising his hand, he summoned 256 Vulture Skeletons, which took flight and began to circle and scout the vicinity.
Within the Blood Barrier, boss figures were everywhere. With hundreds of examinees moving, it was difficult not to attract the attention of a boss.
"Found them, let's go."
Information from a Vulture Skeleton revealed that, four streets away, over a hundred people were being chased by several bosses.
Zi Liyuan rode a Skeletal Horse, while Shen Yurou rode a hellish puppet, holding a metal lizard in her arms, which she was studying.
With the Skeleton Knight leading the way, they didn't bother with the bosses on the road and charged straight for their target.
By the time they approached, they already had over twenty First Order hero bosses and one First Order Lord Boss following them.
"Do you like chasing death so much?"
He casually threw down three boss corpses and, as the bosses approached, ignited them with the Corpse Explosion Technique.
In just a few seconds, the bosses that had been chasing death were all wiped out.
