Chapter 586: Safe Zone Destroyed?! A Heavenly Opportunity!

"Cough—"

Su Peixian spat out a mouthful of blood, and the ground suddenly blossomed with blood flowers of varying sizes.

"Sss!"

Su Yang twisted again, and the gash widened once more.

She could clearly feel a Sharp Blade thrust straight into the heart, churning everything inside.

"Uh…"

Su Peixian's arms hung limp, her upper body seated and leaning on Su Yang's arm, her eyes hazy, mixed with pain and a hint of bewilderment.

She never imagined that approaching death would taste like this, nor that she would meet such an end.

Considering she was a renowned Ascend God Seed, she couldn't believe she was in the Safe Zone, easily having her heart pierced.

The opponent invaded her life thread without breaking a sweat, stirring it wildly, trampling her last shred of dignity and vitality.

Su Peixian's mouth bled, and she struggled to lift her head, looking toward Su Yang while holding onto his arm.

He still wore a cold expression, and a faint hint of sarcasm flickered deep in his eyes.

She realized it was mocking her stupidity and incompetence.

Scale's Control kept itself from Exile, trying to exploit rule loopholes to preserve itself.

Yet it also became her greatest restraint and weakness.

The proud her never imagined dying in this manner.

Absolutely laughable!

"Now… do you believe me?" Su Yang whispered, then suddenly pulled the knife out!

Su Peixian could no longer hold herself, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood, her frail body collapsing weakly.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled thud, she felt her consciousness growing hazy until it completely dissipated.

The next moment, the suction at the doorway suddenly intensified, instantly devouring her.

The corpse flew out of the door, passing through the pouring acid rain, until it vanished from everyone's sight.

Having lost Scale's Control power, she naturally had to complete the final step of Expulsion.

Seeing this, Dong Qianqing and Zhu Xiang reacted differently; the former neither approved nor disapproved of Su Peixian's demise.

After all, she only wanted to stay alive; everything else was irrelevant.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiang's eyes flashed with intense excitement as Su Peixian died completely!

Just like…

The opportunistic leopard finally got the prey it wanted.

"Now… only the three of us remain in the Safe Zone; can we start discussing the Rare Hidden Achievement?" Su Yang fetched a washed towel to wipe the blood from his face.

"I was just speaking offhand, why does Su Xiong take it seriously?" Zhu Xiang said lightly.

"That's so disappointing; I thought the Rare Hidden Achievement was within reach, only to find we didn't even touch the Threshold." Su Yang sighed in disappointment.

"It's okay; with your intelligence and ability, I believe you can find the right path quickly even without guidance," Zhu Xiang said, his tone tinged with a few…

Flattery?

Strange!

Dong Qianqing felt goosebumps rise as he listened; his shady face could not appear flattery no matter how he looked.

An indescribable sense of dissonance filled his whole body.

Just as she was about to speak, a flicker from the Corner of Eye caught a strange sight.

Looking closely, she saw the acid rain had somehow seeped into the house!

"Sizzle—"

Earthy yellow thick smoke billowed out, and the familiar irritating gas rose like signal fire.

The scene frightened Dong Qianqing, who hurriedly grabbed the wet towel Su Yang had just used to wipe his face, covering his mouth and nose, and shouted, "Acid rain is coming in!"

"Hm?" Su Yang and Zhu Xiang both turned toward the voice.

Seeing the corroded walls inside, their pupils contracted slightly.

It's broken!

The two exchanged a glance and acted immediately.

Su Yang first soaked a towel and tied it around his face, leaving only his eyes exposed, then went to the latrine to fetch a mop.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiang, after securing protection, hauled a bucket full of water and splashed it onto the wall.

"Swish—"

Under the water's impact, the acid rain concentration dropped sharply, and its corrosive force weakened repeatedly.

Su Yang seized the opportunity, using the mop to sweep away all the incoming raindrops.

"Close the door!" Su Yang shouted.

Dong Qianqing heard and immediately complied, seizing the heavy external rain's pause to push hard from behind the door!

"Bang!"

The main door slammed shut, and the interior returned to silence.

Yet in just over a minute, the acid rain corroded the interior walls into large holes, the wooden walls turning black.

Toxic gas evaporated too quickly; even with wet towels, they still got a few coughs.

"Cough cough!"

Dong Qianqing immediately moved away from the trouble, fearing harm to the Fetus.

Su Yang crouched in the corner, his expression solemn.

"Even in death you're still uneasy, and you actually still want to drag us down."

The commotion caused by Su Peixian was indeed considerable; because she stubbornly refused Expulsion, it gave Acid rain an opening.

"Safe Zone is no longer safe..." Zhu Xiang said.

"The interior has been slightly damaged, but it doesn't affect the overall situation," Su Yang said.

He vaguely recalled that the furniture in the Small Wooden Cabin was as steady as Mount Tai; no matter how hard he tried to move it, it remained immovable.

This time the Acid rain intrusion damaged the interior of the room, but overall it hasn't reached the point of losing its function.

"No, look at that corner," Zhu Xiang pointed with a Finger.

He saw a swath of darkness at the southwest corner of the wall near the main gate, with a faint gap hidden within.

A gentle breeze slipped through the gap into the cabin, dispersing the remaining toxic gas.

"What is this..." Su Yang's Pupil contracted slightly.

Safe Zone was destroyed?!

How could this be possible?

"Surprised, are you?" Zhu Xiang glanced at Su Yang's expression, drooping his eyelids, "I'm surprised too; I guess the mastermind behind all this is this door."

Su Yang asked, "Reason?"

"Su Peixian clings to not being Expelled, sits at home, and disaster comes from the sky," Zhu Xiang said, pointing at the heavens.

Dong Qianqing's brows furrowed and relaxed alternately, asking, "Rules in chaos?"

"Bang!"

Zhu Xiang clapped his hands, nodded, and said, "Strictly speaking, Su Peixian is already an Expelled player; you can see it from Su Xiong's move against her."

"But the Expulsion ritual kept proceeding, a contradictory scene; the answer is obvious."

Su Yang furrowed his brow, "So may I understand it as—rules caught in a left‑brain versus right‑brain clash?"

"When rules are no longer rules, the Safe Zone naturally ceases to be safe," Zhu Xiang nodded slightly.

"Then why is only the interior wall damaged while the outside remains untouched?" Su Yang asked again.

"I said, the rules are merely chaotic, not vanished; you can think of it as a running program developing a BUG that simultaneously affected other programs," Zhu Xiang explained.

The moment Acid rain entered the cabin seemed to coincide exactly with the moment Su Yang triggered Deception.

Indeed, strictly speaking, Su Peixian has not been fully Expelled; she still remains under the protection of the rules.

But Su Yang does not intend to let this fortunate opportunity slip away.

One must know that personally slaying the Ascend God Seed itself is highly likely to become an Achievement!
