The show has only just begun?
Cheng Xiao’s words.
Were keenly captured by the event committee’s director.
Does it mean this battle isn’t over yet?
Has it only just entered the white-hot stage?
The next moment, everyone realized.
Lin Yi also didn’t choose to leave the range of the ring.
This meant that he also knew that Pei Junxi wasn’t dead yet.
"Hehe..."
"Hahaha..."
"Hahahahaha!"
"You can’t kill me."
"My hosts are endless...!"
"My life, too, is eternal and indestructible!"
"You’re just a stumbling block in my path to conquering this world!"
Pei Junxi’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the massive pit.
Then, on the Korea Team’s bench.
Including the newly awakened Jin Meihui.
All the other Korea Team members.
Were all clutching their necks with both hands.
Their faces turning purple.
At that moment, they felt like they couldn’t breathe.
At the same time, it felt like something inside them was rampaging wildly through their organs, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves.
"You’re truly a beast."
"You actually pre-infected all your teammates."
"Now you’re using their lives, to trade for yours."
Lin Yi sneered.
He didn’t stop Pei Junxi.
After all, it was the Korea Team members who were dying.
Not having to do it himself was rather convenient.
"Don’t pretend to be noble!"
"You humans are all the same."
"You speak of fighting for the human race against outsiders while struggling amongst yourselves."
"I should thank you for helping me eliminate this pesky human consciousness..."
"Kekeke..."
Lin Yi was moved.
The one speaking now was clearly no longer the Korea Team captain, Pei Junxi.
But the will of the "Undying Plague" itself.
As the Undying Plague’s words just fell, the several Korea Team members who couldn’t breathe, their skins started to fester and ooze all over.
They wailed, ultimately dissolving into pools of black water mixed with blood and pus.
Then seeped underground.
In the deep pit pressed out by Lin Yi.
A mass of flesh and blood reassembled.
A more twisted and hideous flesh monster emerged!
Having absorbed the life energy essence of the other nine Korea Team competitors, it appeared even more ferocious and terrifying than before.
Not only that, a vast black mist rose from beneath the entire Penglai Arena.
Heading towards the stands filled with an audience of one hundred thousand.
"Pei Junxi!"
"No, you can’t!!"
"Stop what you’re doing immediately, this is slaughtering the innocent!"
"You are disqualified from the competition!"
The chief judge pulled out a red card, blowing his whistle.
Ah Liang sternly warned.
At the same time, the event committee’s entire security department was on full alert.
The whole situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"You’re getting out of hand."
"Aren’t you going to handle this?"
Unbeknown to anyone, Meng Yuanzhou had stood up.
Gazing at the two in the Korea judges’ seat, his eyes shadowy.
Thud!
The wooden staff in Meng Yuanzhou’s hand lightly tapped the ground.
The next instant, countless emerald green ripples spread out, encircling the entire audience.
Then, a barrier formed by pure Wind Element ripples appeared instantly.
Within the entire Penglai Arena, the black mist rising from underground evaporated and dissipated upon touching the emerald green ripples.
At the East Japan judges’ seat.
The two who had been silently watching the drama unfold with a fear of chaos were inwardly startled.
"This old Mr. Meng’s power has improved even more since last time."
"Once he fully comprehends the Law, Xia will have another War God."
"Perhaps..."
"Shut up, don’t say it."
Halfway through their internal conversation.
Hayakawa Tomoko felt a chill all over.
Because he saw Cheng Xiao, who was smiling slyly, watching them both.
Their thoughts were instantly seen through.
"Thanks to Mr. Meng for your righteous action."
"Pei Junxi, you are disqualified from the competition, the winner of this match is Lin Yi from Xia!"
Ah Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead.
If it weren’t for Mr. Meng’s intervention, they really would have a problem dealing with it.
Of course, the top level of the event has ninth-order experts.
But they wouldn’t act so quickly, and by the time the plague was subdued, who knows how many would have been killed or injured.
"The competition continues."
Cheng Xiao, still smiling, spoke those words.
Yet it carried an undisputable authority.
Ah Liang opened his mouth.
Dared not speak.
The event committee officials didn’t give him any further instructions either.
This attitude actually said it all.
Of all the people present, you are the most formidable.
So you decide what happens.
"Pestilent bug..."
"One day, I will devour you all!"
The Undying Plague roared furiously.
"I would hope you really were a bug."
"Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so hard to kill."
Lin Yi sighed.
[Trait 3: As long as there are hosts infected by the Undying Plague, the Undying Plague can be resurrected and gain self-replication times based on the damage absorbed before.]
[The number of hosts consumed each time it resurrects through this trait depends on the damage previously received.]
Just now, he discovered the last trait of the Undying Plague.
The most perverse trait.
"You’re different from that obsessive human, unlike all the other humans."
"I embrace everything."
"We humans aren’t truly oppositional."
"Join me, join the ultimate evolution."
"I can give you immortality, and with your mighty strength."
"This world will be under our feet!"
The twisted monster extended a hand.
Inviting Lin Yi.
Lin Yi genuinely felt its sincerity.
It really wasn’t lying.
As a symbiote.
It can’t survive independently, apart from a host.
"Not interested."
"Besides, you’re not worthy."
Lin Yi refused bluntly.
Not waiting for the Undying Plague to say anything.
Suddenly, it began to wail on its own.
The gigantic flesh monster began to struggle and writhe.
Punching numerous large holes throughout the arena’s underground.
Lin Yi flew into the air.
His brain was also pondering.
For now, with his means, losing was impossible.
But to completely eliminate the Undying Plague, he would have to kill all its hosts.
Otherwise, it could revive infinitely.
In thought, Lin Yi also noticed eyes and mouths forming on the monster’s body.
"You... dare betray me!"
"Have you forgotten who brought you into this world?"
"Good thing I anticipated this day, over these ten years, I’ve thoroughly researched you."
"I no longer need you!"
Pei Junxi’s voice reappeared.
Lin Yi had long anticipated that this guy wasn’t dead.
When it came to scheming, no creature could surpass humans.
It seems the final winner of this symbiotic will battle was him.
"No!!"
Pei Junxi’s devouring of the "Undying Plague" will was instantaneous.
The next moment, Lin Yi sensed.
The will of the "Undying Plague" was completely absorbed by Pei Junxi.
"Hahahaha!!!"
"Not afraid to tell you, I’ve already infected ten million people across Goryeo."
"They are all my backup food, my backup life!"
"Each time you kill me, I will become even stronger!"
"Lin Yi, the current me, is an indestructible ultimate form, how can you defeat me!"
