Chapter 801: "Referee"

"Zzzzzzz..."

“……”

"No. 6, what happened to participant Lin Yan?"

"...Nothing, this kid was actually faking death, fortunately I saw it."

On the scorching earth, a scorched figure slowly put on a fluorescent robe, bent down to pick up the walkie-talkie, and walked step by step into the distance,

His chapped lips opened, but he made the voice of Referee No. 6:

"He wanted to sneak attack me again, and I taught him a lesson... Now he ran away."

"This Lin Yan is also a talent." The walkie-talkie snorted coldly.

The figure wearing the fluorescent robe did not respond. He just stepped on the scorched soles and walked slowly up the steps of a clock tower, facing the stars in the sky, and went up the steps.

Faint aurora flickered in the depths of his pupils, and the signal network of the entire Old District was like a rope, beginning to converge toward the walkie-talkie in his hand!

"Zzzzzzz..."

"This is No. 12, that young sect master Huai Mang is killing crazy on Xingdou Street, send more medical teams..."

"This is No. 19 on Nanyu Street, four A-rank participants are fighting here, one of them named Li Yu is very strong, fighting three people alone, you can pay special attention to it and report it to the high-ups of the Five Great Domains."

"Two people in the east of the city are about to be chased out of the Old District, send someone to stop them and give a warning."

"A melee of seven people broke out in the south of the city, including an S-rank participant, I will report the situation here..."

"How can this Jian Wubing get more and more fierce, I want to apply for special authority to the high-ups, this guy is definitely low to be rated A, immediately raise his rating to S!"

“……”

In the entire Old District, nearly two hundred participants, everything that happened here was summarized into the same walkie-talkie through the communication network of the referees.

At this time, the figure holding the walkie-talkie was slowly stepping on the highest steps of the clock tower.

"Hoo..."

The scorched corners of his mouth exhaled a turbid breath. Under the super self-healing ability brought by [Blood Garment], the skin surface was gradually recovering its blood color.

Chen Ling took out a list of participants from his arms, scanned every name, every path, every resume, and the rating given to them by the Five Great Domains unhurriedly...

This list, this walkie-talkie, and the fluorescent robe on his body allowed Chen Ling to jump out of the infighting of "participants" silently, and overlook all living beings from a perspective that was almost omniscient and omnipotent.

He will be the only participant on this battlefield with the status of "referee";

The corners of Chen Ling's mouth rose slightly.

A breeze blew through the night sky, blowing the list and the fluorescent robe away. Chen Ling's palm tore gently on his chin, and a face skin disappeared into the air silently.

[Audience Expectation +4]

[Current Expectation: 60%]

Chen Ling, who had completely transformed into Referee No. 6, opened his arms like a director who controlled the overall situation, and whispered to the sentient beings fighting in the darkness:

"The good show... begins."

……

Boom—!!

A piece of rebar tore through the night sky, instantly piercing through five buildings that were close together. The loud roar accompanied the killing intent that almost condensed into substance, rolling into the clouds!

Sun Bumian, who brushed past it, stumbled in the air and landed on the ground in a sorry state.

"...No, is this guy so resentful?"

Sun Bumian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back, only to see a figure with a killing intent divine halo, holding a blood sword, walking slowly like a demon god.

"Today, you can't escape." Jian Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Our accounts, it's time to settle them properly..."

"I said, it's all some misunderstandings... Besides, did I invite you to eat candied haws?"

Sun Bumian stretched out his five fingers and grabbed into the air. Four bright candied haws were conjured up like magic, pinched into a bunch and handed to Jian Changsheng:

"Here, compensate you with four more!"

"..." Jian Changsheng widened his eyes, "Who wants your candied haws?!"

"Then what do you want!"

"Fight me, if I lose, I admit defeat, if you lose, I will kill you once, and we will be even."

"That won't work... I spent several meals of money to get in! If I don't earn back the capital, I can't leave." Sun Bumian thought of the thirty copper coins he spent, and felt heartbroken.

"Who lives and who dies, speak with strength!"

Jian Changsheng realized that he didn't have much mental power left, so he didn't tangle with Sun Bumian, but directly clenched the blood sword in his hand, preparing to kill the other party within the duration of the Domain.

Just as he was concentrating on preparing to take action, he suddenly seemed to notice something. The blood sword in his hand suddenly pulled out a sword flower and slashed toward his back like lightning!

Clang—!!

A crisp explosion sounded in the air,

In the void, an almost invisible shadow held a short sword, and the blade was only a fraction of an inch away from piercing into Jian Changsheng's back neck.

"Who?!" Jian Changsheng's roar was like thunder. Under the ninefold blessing of [Avici Purgatory], his perception had long reached a terrifying level.

You have to realize, even the Fifth-Stage Young Sect Master, who was busy stuffing his face at the time, hadn't managed to detect the assassin's strike!

Seeing his assassination attempt thwarted, a rare look of shock appeared on the assassin's face. The moment he saw Jian Changsheng turn his head, he suddenly froze in place...

Jian Changsheng let out a cold snort, his blood-red sword moving so fast it left afterimages, directly parrying the assassin's short blade. The terrifying force nearly sent the weapon flying!

A sense of crisis surged in the assassin's heart. He retreated without hesitation, and almost simultaneously, the edge of the blood-red sword grazed the tip of his nose, drawing a single drop of scarlet blood.

He took several steps back before steadying himself, his gaze toward Jian Changsheng filled with immense astonishment!

"It's you?!"

"It's you?!"

The two spoke almost in unison.

The assassin recognized Jian Changsheng; he was the one eating king crab at the Comet Restaurant with "Jian Wubing" that day. Jian Changsheng also recognized this assassin; he had seen this exact move—the sneak attack on the back of the neck—with his own eyes.

"You are Jian Wubing?" The assassin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I am."

“……”

Chen Ling's face flashed through the assassin's mind, his expression turning somewhat strange... He had already guessed what was going on.

Jian Changsheng's gaze grew colder. He stopped targeting Sun Bumian and instead walked toward the assassin, sword in hand... Although he wanted to settle scores with Sun Bumian, he wouldn't be able to rest easy with this "variable" present.

Although this assassin was extremely strong and a Fifth-Stage, Jian Changsheng, in his nine-fold amplified state, was not afraid of him.

In fact, he wanted to use the assassin as a whetstone to test his own limits!

Seeing this, Sun Bumian slightly lowered his small round sunglasses. Watching the two men on the verge of a fight, he finally breathed a sigh of relief... While silently shuffling his body to the side to hide, he secretly stoked the flames in his heart:

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
