Chapter 1738

From the moment they boarded the dragon boat, Zi Chen's expression had been very calm, but he was not calm now. He immediately issued a mandatory order to everyone.

At this moment, Sydney walked in, holding a dragon-shaped weapon and looking alert.

After coming in and seeing that Zi Chen was still sitting cross-legged, he was relieved.

Then, one cultivator after another walked in from outside the door and stood on both sides.

The 66 people all stood up, their eyes full of coldness.

After accepting the reality, the cold sweat on Zi Chen's forehead gradually disappeared, and he was still sitting cross-legged there.

Everyone walked in, and there were only 82 people in total.

Including Zi Chen and the other 67 people, there were 94 people in total.

When the group of people saw this scene, they were surprised and stunned. They thought there would be a fierce battle, but they didn't expect that they would be killed.

Only Zi Chen was expressionless, as if he had expected this.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Kang Chen, and said expressionlessly, "Call them out and kill them."

The 66 people all looked at Kang Chen, their eyes full of disbelief.

Facing everyone's gaze calmly, Kang Chen shrugged without the slightest guilt on his face. "I had no choice."

"No choice."

Zi Chen glanced at Kang Chen and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Zang Yongsi in the team and said, "If I'm not wrong, the person Yongmo trusts the most is you."

There was a touch of sadness in Zang Yongsi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He looked at Zi Chen again and said, "There's no other way. You alone occupy 67 places."

Of the 05 places, Zi Chen occupied 67, and there were 83 left.

These 83 places were divided among the three forces, and each side had less than 60 places.

Sydney looked at Zi Chen and shook his head in disappointment. "Zi Chen, I used to admire your character, but now it seems that you are too indecisive. At this time, we should make a prompt decision."

Zi Chen looked at Sidney sorrowfully and said, "Is your so-called decisiveness to kill all the people you trust and use their trust to take their lives?"

"Zi Chen, don't cry crocodile tears here. You guys stayed here without moving, but we had to fight and kill our own people. We're the ones who saved your spot, but instead of being grateful, you're actually making sarcastic remarks," said one of the Dax race members unhappily. His eyes were red, and he seemed to have gone mad.

Zi Chen glanced at this person with disdain. He guessed that the person he had killed was either his own family or his sworn brother.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Long Fei once said that when you set foot on the dragon boat, you have to make constant choices. This is also a test of human nature. At first, I didn't understand, but now I do. We don't have to be forced to choose. We just need to stick to our hearts. In fact, I regret it now. In the first qualification battle, I should have stuck to my heart and chosen to protect everyone instead of giving up."

Giving up again and again turned into killing each other in the end.

Sidney said, "Protect? If the dragon boat doesn't leave, do you want everyone to stay in this empty space for the rest of their lives?"

"At least we can preserve our combat power and deal with any unexpected situation. But now, although the strongest people in the team are left, our overall combat power has decreased by more than half."

Sidney still didn't care. "You're still lecturing us now. Do you think it's still useful? It's too late. Everything is too late. The moment we set foot on the dragon boat, we had to face this choice. This is the rule of the dragon boat, and also the law of the dragon boat. Survival of the fittest, and the strong are respected."

Sidney spoke slowly and clearly, but there was a hint of madness on his face sometimes.

Not only Sidney, but the others were also like this.

Under this pressure, they were forced to kill the people they trusted the most. These people's minds were already twisted, and it was only a matter of time before they became crazy.

Zi Chen's lecture was useless now.

Sidney spoke again. "We've already dealt with the others. We're here to tell you that we're still a team. We can still be united against the outside world."

"A team? United."

Zi Chen found it funny. "You can even kill your most trusted brothers. Do you think I'll believe that you can be united?"

Sidney said angrily, "I told you, it was caused by the rules. It has nothing to do with us."

The others' breathing also became heavy.

They were not a group of cultivators at all. They were almost like a group of wolves who had lost their minds.

Zi Chen was still sitting cross-legged and did not stand up. He said lightly, "What you're worried about is those experts on the King List. The reason why you left us here is that you want me to deal with them. I have to say, this is a good idea. But what if things don't develop this way?"

Everyone's faces became gloomy.

If things didn't develop this way, it was obvious that the next 05 people would continue to be eliminated, and then things would be very unfavorable for them.

Because Zi Chen and the other 67 people were a team, but the 83 of them were not.

Zi Chen looked at everyone and said, "Only 82 of you came in, and there are only 94 people in total. It's impossible that you killed one person by mistake. That person should be outside and listening to our conversation right now."

"If I'm not wrong, it was that person's suggestion that stopped you from attacking me, right? Since you chose to leave me here and didn't come in to see me, do you know me or are you afraid that I'll recognize you?"

Looking at everyone's changing expressions, Zi Chen said lightly, "In that case, it should be an old friend. Ye Ming, am I right?"

Zi Chen looked at the door of the room.

Everyone's expressions changed. They did not expect Zi Chen to be so smart.

"As expected of Zi Chen. You can even guess that." A cold voice came from outside, and a black-robed man walked in.

Everyone knew Ye Ming, but they were stunned when the black-robed man walked in at that moment.

They realized that although the man's tone was Ye Ming's, the aura around him was completely different from Ye Ming's.

"You're Ye Ming." The fortune teller frowned at the black-robed man.

"Of course."

Ye Ming's voice came again. Subsequently, he reached out slowly and removed the black robe that covered his head, revealing his face.

Everyone's expressions changed the moment they saw his face. Man Shi even lost his voice and said, "Wharton."

The voice was indeed Ye Ming's, but it had Wharton's face. He smiled ferociously at everyone and said in his deep voice, "It's nice to see you guys again."

Ye Ming's voice changed. It became Wharton's voice, but Wharton's face from before was Ye Ming's.

Both of their faces kept changing. The smile on their faces was getting more ferocious, and their voices were changing too.

"What's going on? Both of them are in the same body. It's possession."

At that moment, Ye Ming made everyone feel a chill run down their spines.

Zi Chen and the rest were breaking through fast enough, but Ye Ming was even faster than them. He was already on grade-4. Nobody could tell if he was Ye Ming or Wharton at that moment.

As for possession, it did not look like it.

Both of their faces were changing at will. There was no pain on their faces.

Wharton's face looked at Zi Chen. Ye Ming's voice came, "I have to thank you for all of this, Zi Chen."

There was no gratitude in his voice at all. There was only endless coldness and … hatred.

"After you killed Xu Hou, Wharton and I were worried that you would kill us to silence us. Hence, through some connections, we thought of a way to escape from the Imperial Heaven City. After that, we entered an unknown space and narrowly escaped death. That was when we encountered the 'fortuitous encounter' before you."

Ye Ming lifted his finger and pointed at his face as he said, "Don't you think it's strange that I look like this? It looks like possession, doesn't it? In reality, it's just a fusion technique that allows us to complement each other. Our souls and bodies complement each other to become a more powerful existence."

Under normal circumstances, who would be willing to become someone else? The two of them must have experienced a great danger and became like this in order to survive.

After the two of them merged, they were considered a brand new life form.

"You've caused us to become like this, but I didn't kill you. Instead, I stood on the side of righteousness and spared your lives. In the future, when we unite against the enemy, we'll do our best to cooperate with you."

This life form made Zi Chen feel very uncomfortable. He said calmly, "What if it's still a civil war?"

Ye Ming smiled ferociously and said, "If it's still a civil war, then you'll be in danger because I'm not going to let you go."

Zi Chen looked forward and said, "If there are fifty people and ten less, what about the next battle of forty people? You know that someone is deliberately controlling everything. Because of the number of people, no one from the Green Sky Region has died until now. Their combat strength is maintained very well. Perhaps that existence will consider the feelings of the Green Sky Region and add another battle."

Ye Ming's expression changed. He had not thought of this.

Similarly, the others were stunned when they heard this.

Ye Ming thought about it seriously and said, "It's possible. If ten more people die, then ten of you will die. I want you to live, I want Qingcheng to live."

Zi Chen said calmly, "If you kill my brothers, do you think I'll still help you? Do you think I won't take the opportunity to kill you?"

Ye Ming said sternly, "Zi Chen, you don't have to act so righteous in front of me. In fact, you're more ruthless than us. If there's only one person left alive in the end, I believe you'll kill everyone here. Brothers of life and death? Confidantes? You'll kill them all."

Zi Chen did not argue. He merely chuckled softly.

The 66 people next to Zi Chen were expressionless.

"Everyone, I'm very happy that you've completed the mission so quickly. Next, it'll be a battle of forty out of fifty. The weak will be eliminated and the strong will be left. Good luck."

That despicable voice was heard again. Everyone's expression changed drastically. Things were indeed as Zi Chen had guessed.

Ye Ming looked at Zi Chen in front of him and shouted, "Kill! Kill Zi Chen and the rest first. He's the biggest threat. We must kill him first."

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, everyone moved.

Man Shi and the rest were extremely vigilant, but Zi Chen stood still. He was not even prepared at all.

Seven-colored weapons emitted light one after another and charged toward Zi Chen. In an instant, everyone moved. There were even some dragon-shaped weapons among them.

However, in the next moment, these weapons seemed to be controlled by some kind of energy. They turned around and stabbed to the side.

"Pu." "Pu." "Pu."

One weapon after another was sent into the bodies of their companions, piercing through their chests.
