Chapter 768: with translation of chapter title

A fierce sound wave impact roared out from Xiong Hanzi's mouth.

Hidden earthquakes kept appearing on the ground, shaking everyone left and right.

Had the attributes not been greatly weakened, this ultra‑strong skill could have shattered all the Awakened Ones before him into fragments.

Under the combined physical and mental assault, it briefly suppressed the crowd preparing to strike first.

Thanks to the passage's restriction, a large number of Awakened Ones could only stare blankly at the battle ahead, unable to join in.

That's right.

Zhang Tie's strength was limited, but likewise, the physical attributes of the other Awakened Ones at this moment were as fragile as raw iron.

Destroying the rotten and breaking the withered.

As a dual‑system limit breaker, Xiong Hanzi for the first time unleashed his full power without reservation.

His right hand brandished the curse of the lingchi victim; the blood‑seeping wolf‑tooth club was like a torture device, maiming at a touch.

His left fist pounded out continuously, coordinating with the suturer's arm, like smashing a mole, he frenziedly pounded the surrounding humans.

The change was too sudden, and also too horrifying.

No one expected that those words of righteousness would actually trigger this silent strongman.

Xiong Hanzi displayed such overwhelming combat power that, while most Awakened Ones could not comprehend it, he instantly killed several people around him in the brief battle.

No time to attend to it.

For a moment, the Awakened Ones who had originally locked onto Fiona and others instinctively aimed all their skills at the raging giant bear.

"Focus fire! Take him down instantly!"

"Block them! Help Brother Zhang!"

Two utterly opposite roars rang out; no one expected that, after escaping danger, the human side would erupt into the fiercest battle of the trial among their own kind.

Spiritual energy blast.

Lacking attribute and equipment boosts, a multitude of various skills smashed into the giant bear like stones.

One hand shielded his head, the other brandished the "torture device".

Under the concentrated fire of everyone, Zhang Tie's body instantly showed numerous scorched and cracked marks.

But no one had time to observe.

Those wounds seemed to be absorbing energy, and slowly healed.

As the battle reached white‑hot intensity, Latin America, Soviet Russia, Zhang Yong and others had already clashed with the nearby other war zones, trying to ease Zhang Tie's pressure.

Unlike Xiong Hanzi's head‑on clash when facing the crowd.

Among the agility types, there was more back‑and‑forth dodging, waiting for an opening to strike.

Meanwhile, the Awakened Ones behind the passage kept pushing forward, unable to attack from the rear.

Of course, some Awakened Ones merely went through the motions, half‑heartedly using skills, hoping to preserve their strength for the final melee.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

"stop!!!"

Amid the roars, two sudden, abrupt shouts rang out.

The voices came from the Huaxia war zone, the troops stationed in the secret chamber, and..

The North American war zone, perhaps the only surviving squad, had been sent early to search for other secret chambers.

The two sides together numbered three hundred people; among them, the captain who had previously stopped the soldiers from intercepting Lin An now activated his biological armor without hesitation and charged into the crowd.

"Are you guys crazy?!"

"If we keep fighting, the labyrinth will encounter a mishap and we'll all die!"

"Stop! Aren't you afraid Lin An will give up luring away the monster?!"

Huaxia and North America simultaneously blocked those participating in the fight.

Nearly three hundred Awakened Ones from both sides jointly intercepted, actually pulling the later‑joining war zones out of the battle.

The battle began abruptly and ended abruptly.

Drenched in blood, the silver giant bear standing on a field of severed limbs and corpses casually flung aside a puddle of filth, his expression icy as he looked over.

The surrounding Awakened Ones, hearts pounding, retreated two steps.

Those behind might not realize, but these Awakened Ones nearest to Zhang Tie actually no longer wanted to fight.

That monster is too terrifying.

Their attacks seemed unable to kill this aberrant creature no matter what.

"Lord Zhuangyan, look at the fine mess your war zone has made!"

"Stop!? Why should we stop!"

An absurd ceasefire.

The questioning came from the Eastern European war zone; they were the most eager to erupt into battle.

Those refusing to stop were a few Awakened Ones from the East Asian war zone.

"Not stopping?"

"Then I'll act against you!"

"North America, Soviet Russia, Latin America, and me! The four major war zones combined may not be fewer than you!"

Without mercy.

The Huaxia squad representative, Zhuangyan, his face grim, stared straight at them.

He had actually hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to intervene in this matter.

After all, their squad.. might be the last strength of the Huaxia military in this trial.

Lin An's relationship with the military is bad; he has every reason not to rescue.

But after struggling for a moment, he still decided to persuade the North America War Zone to stop this battle.

Anyone could see that, by the end of the fight, it was probably not just the team besieging Lin An.

Moreover...

He let out a quiet sigh.

Lin An, after all, is also his own clansman..

His face looked grim.

The representative of the North Europe War Zone instinctively stepped back two steps, his face showing a complex expression.

That the Huaxia Military would stop it, he actually wasn't surprised.

After all, Lin An is a Huaxia person, even if the rumors...

But what he didn't expect was that the North America War Zone also joined in.

Lin An, haven't you, in front of everyone, twisted the faces of your North America War Zone?

Although, you are indeed wrong.

But, protecting the people in Lin An's team—isn't that tacitly accepting Lin An's plan?

That's points, after all!

"This matter couldn't possibly end like this."

"Who could accept a 50% ratio?"

After the North Europe representative stepped back two steps, he took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the biological armor on Zhuang Yan's body.

"How disgusting, weird... armor?"

Although he said that, his words already carried a sense of retreat.

Zhang Tie is much stronger than they imagined, but for now it's still okay.

That monster probably won't last more than a few seconds before dying.

The key lies in the Huaxia Military suddenly blocking them.

300 people, plus the several dozen from Lin An's original team.

That number is already quite a lot.

If they keep fighting, he can't guarantee his war zone will come out on top.

"Lin An's group brought it on themselves! They were the ones who struck first!"

"We are acting in self-defense! They don't care about humanity!"

The East Sea War Zone Awakened One noticed the North Europe representative's retreat, he suppressed his anger and stared fixedly at Zhang Tie.

The Awakened One of his own war zone died at the hands of this monster.

He couldn't back down; he had to use righteousness to crush Lin An!

"Shut up! You war zone have no right to speak!"

A harsh shout.

Zhuang Yan harshly rebuked him, and the North America War Zone beside him also helplessly glanced at the East Sea Awakened One.

At this point, excuses like righteousness and humanity are no longer appropriate.

They were actually quite torn.

But after thinking it over, with the North America main force possibly wiped out, they could only continue cooperating with the Huaxia Military.

Of course, he didn't know that North America had an interception team that Zhang Tie had already beaten half to death.

The information was only reported to the highest level, and he hasn't received this message yet.

His breath turned cold and he shivered.

The East Sea War Zone Awakened One, face full of resentment, turned back to look at everyone, discovering that everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed.

"No qualifications? The people who just died—don't they count as yours?!"

His whole body trembled.

Looking at the killer who slaughtered his clansmen, that brutal giant bear suddenly gave him a weird grin, baring its icy-white fangs.

At this moment, he felt only the grief and indignation in his heart, as if a bottomless abyss had swallowed him.

A mocking voice sounded:

"Idiot, I just forgot to smack you to death..."

"What if I wipe out your war zone?"

"Alright, we agree to stop fighting. But the distribution plan must be changed..."

It should be said that two different voices sounded at the same time.

The North Europe War Zone representative seemed not to have heard Zhang Tie's words, his gaze fixed on Zhuang Yan.

"Let's talk—don't threaten us with Lin An giving up luring away the monster."

"If he dares to stop, he will die too..."

At the edge of the crowd, the last few East Sea War Zone Awakened Ones, faces ashen, slumped against the wall.

They no longer had the mood to listen to the so-called negotiations from both sides.

They only knew that people had died in vain.

Moreover, they had completely lost the qualification to earn points.

"Gentlemen, have you seen...?"

"This is the sorrow of a small nation..."

The voice trembled.

The speaking man covered his face in pain; even when hearing the news of the premier's death during the Apocalypse outbreak, he had never felt this bad.

Lin An, no, Huaxia war zone... must die!

In an instant, the man seemed to understand the feeling of the Great Han War Zone.

Their enemy has never changed.
