Chapter 794: I Have No Malice

Fireworks bloomed brilliantly under the starry sky. Jian Changsheng saw this scene and remained unmoved on the spot.

"The competition will last for 48 hours. During this period, every battle will consume physical strength... So the most reasonable way is to hide in the dark and wait until everyone else has fought enough, then go out!"

"By then, everyone else will be seriously injured, while I will still be in peak condition. The probability of grabbing the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] will be a bit higher."

"As soon as I got here, I blew out my kerosene lamp. Now, in the pitch-black darkness, others won't find my position at all... It's a great opportunity to hide and recuperate!"

"This time, the advantage is mine!"

Jian Changsheng's calculations were loud in his heart. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, as if he had already imagined the scene where others were fighting fiercely while he sat back and reaped the benefits.

Just as Jian Changsheng was about to lie down on the spot, a rustling sound came from above his head.

A wisp of dust drifted from the gap in the floorboards onto Jian Changsheng's shoulder. He looked up in confusion, and the next moment, a burst of fire crashed down!

Boom—!!

The explosion penetrated the house, splitting the entire abandoned building in half, and a smoking figure flew out from it!

In mid-air, a tall woman holding a chain burning with flames was proudly looking down at Jian Changsheng, who had been shaken away... The sound of machinery came from inside the chain, and the chain, which was only two meters long, visibly extended, like a flame snake winding and flying out!

Before Jian Changsheng landed, a second figure floated silently out of the darkness and pointed into the air at the ground below him!

"[Thorn]."

Strokes like bamboo suddenly pierced out from the ground. The sharp tips were enough to pierce the body of any creature, like a silent jungle of thorns breaking through. The killing intent drifted in the darkness!

Jian Changsheng: ??!!

Jian Changsheng twisted his body rapidly in mid-air, locked his index finger and thumb together, and flicked hard at the stone forest of thorns below!

Boom—!

Thunderous roars exploded in the air, and the entire patch of thorns shattered instantly. Jian Changsheng fell onto the cracked earth filled with dust, his legs steadily bracing his body... Only then did he have time to look up at the two people who had ambushed him.

"No... what's the situation?"

Jian Changsheng didn't understand. According to his script, he should have been able to survive to the end and then shine... How could he be besieged by two people right at the beginning?

"He didn't die?" The woman with the chain in the air was a little surprised,

"I thought he was a soft persimmon trying to fish in troubled waters by blowing out his candle as soon as he arrived... Now it seems he has some ability."

"One less competitor is one less. Let's clear out the small fry first, and then fight based on our own abilities." The man looked at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Let's kill this small fry together first, and then we'll fight."

"Alright, but no backstabbing or sneak attacks before that."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense."

Jian Changsheng heard the conversation between the two as if no one else was around, and was a little dazed for a moment.

He stretched out a hand, pointed at himself, his expression incredibly strange:

"Soft persimmon, small fry... me?"

He just wanted to hide and preserve his strength, how did he suddenly become a small fry in the eyes of others? No wonder these people besieged him like crazy from the beginning, it turns out that persimmons are picked soft first, right?!

The movement of the battle here had already attracted some participants around. They hid in the darkness, as if peeping at the situation here, like poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity... Unknowingly, the location where Jian Changsheng was had gradually become one of the storm eyes of the slaughter.

Seeing this, Jian Changsheng sighed helplessly...

He wanted to hide but failed, and instead attracted more and more enemies. This hellish start made Jian Changsheng more determined to win the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]... He didn't want to stay with this shitty luck for even a second.

With full resentment and anger, Jian Changsheng picked up a piece of steel bar from the ground. He stared at the two people killing him from afar, his eyes narrowing into a cold arc.

"If you want to use me as a target... you have to see if you have the qualifications."

The ancient killing intent began to spread wildly to the surroundings!

……

At the same time,

Chen Ling stood on the roof, looking at the dead darkness around him, and was speechless for a moment...

Before the competition officially started, he had displayed his position very high-profile with a pillar of fire, hoping to pull the audience anticipation to over 70% through a hearty battle. But he never expected that it had been almost twenty minutes since the competition started, and he hadn't even seen a single person!

Even the brother on the building opposite him, after seeing him raise the pillar of fire, silently blew out his kerosene lamp, as if afraid that Chen Ling would come looking for him.

After Chen Ling fought with the referee and came back to his senses, he realized that the participants within a few kilometers of him had all run away.

After all, in the eyes of other participants, Chen Ling was a super fierce man who could ignite a pillar of fire before the start. No matter how confident they were, they didn't want to fight such a fierce man at the beginning of the competition, and they didn't even dare to get close to him, for fear of being involved in the battle between top powerhouses. Therefore, they ran as far as they could...

In the end, only Chen Ling was left in the entire area.

"Hell... where did everyone go?"

Chen Ling rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.

He stepped on the [Cloud Step] and rose into the sky. With his terrifying eyesight, he finally found a lone young figure a few kilometers away.

Chen Ling didn't say a word and rushed toward him quickly!

The figure didn't light a kerosene lamp and walked alone in the darkness, vigilantly observing the surroundings. After feeling a chill approaching him, he suddenly shivered, and when he looked back, he saw Chen Ling rushing over aggressively!

His heart skipped a beat!

He had run so far, and this plague god could still chase him?!

His face turned pale instantly, and without thinking, he turned and ran wildly into the distance, with an expression of seeing a ghost.

Chen Ling: ...

"I am Lin Yan, I have no malice..." Chen Ling said while holding the boning knife and accelerating to catch up, trying to make his voice as gentle and harmless as possible, "Brother, stop for a moment, I want to talk to you..."

The man's speed of fleeing became even faster!

The two chased and fled like this, passing through several blocks. Finally, a few other participants occasionally appeared in the surroundings.

Seeing someone being hunted, their first reaction was to hide and see the situation, but some who were not afraid of death stood on the spot, watching the person in front run past... Immediately afterward, the one-armed young man holding the boning knife appeared in front of them.

"You..."

The onlookers sized him up. Before they could even speak, Chen Ling smiled slightly...

Then, with a swift motion, he swung his blade and severed the man's head.
