Chapter 335: The One Who Meets Yama Is You

"Is there any difference?"

Yeah, that's the most crucial question.

For players who don't join a faction, what's different from before?

The system, unusually enthusiastic, answered the question:

"Specifically, from now on every Instance will be a team Instance! The importance of teamwork and synergy among members is self‑evident! Of course, rewards will be richer than before. Moreover, faction players who team up will receive unexpected bonuses!"

If it's just the same rewards as the last team Instance…

I guess that's an increase, right?

Cheng Shuili really doesn't care about that, but the reward scope has indeed expanded.

And that's not all:

"From now on road merges will be more frequent; after players who join a faction work together to raise the faction level, faction members can enjoy more features! For example, free road merges between members, and when a faction leader is in danger, they can summon all members for a 'rescue'! Those are your human terms; you should understand what they mean."

Can we still rescue?

Cheng Shuili's expression grew solemn, and she no longer intended to listen seriously to the system. She pulled out a Designated Player Duel Card and entered the words Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu.

Either way, we have to give Tie Lu Fei a lesson first!

Card used successfully!

Cheng Shuili deliberately retrieved a dagger from the Abyssal Ring, intending to make the opponent let their guard down.

This time Su Rui had no objection; in the instant the scenery shifted, she grabbed Youlan and ran out of the cockpit, saying, "Kill the one from last night?"

She was actually more excited than Cheng Shuili.

Cheng Shuili nodded; after the view outside the window steadied, both were startled to see two vehicles parked on the road!

One was a truck, the other clearly had been upgraded several times, its original condition unrecognizable.

Cheng Shuili had a flash of inspiration, a bold thought forming instantly: the Designated Player Duel Card that helped place Tie Lu Fei's card—couldn't that be Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu?

Did she hit the mark by accident?

Cheng Shuili sneered, twisted the Concealer's Ring on her finger, and activated a thirty‑minute Deep Dive state.

First eliminate Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu, then see who the other person is, then decide whether to kill!

Su Rui hopped out of the car carefree; her sole mission was to draw fire for Cheng Shuili.

With the door left open, she stood behind it, so if the enemy fired, she'd at least have cover.

Su Rui watched Cheng Shuili's figure vanish, then took a deep breath and shouted, "Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu! Get out!"

The two inside the luxurious vehicle were both startled, exchanged a glance, and said nothing.

From outside came a shout: "Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu, you dare act but won't admit it, huh? I don't want to hurt the innocent; if you have any sense, get out quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me!"

It sounded like a revenge call, specifically naming Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu.

Tie Lu Fei originally wondered whether Wu Ya had come for him, but the visitor was definitely him, not after Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu; it must indeed be a revenge.

Thinking that, he relaxed a bit, his gaze at Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu laced with amusement, "Kid, still owe a woman a favor out there?"

Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu's face turned pale, waving repeatedly, "Brother Tie, stop joking… how could I! I don't recognize that voice!"

Outside, Su Rui grew impatient and shouted again, her tone even more hostile: "Coward! If you don't come out, you two won't get this car!"

Tie Lu Fei frowned.

He's laying low now; though he doesn't want to get involved, the woman's tone outside is too loud, and Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu is currently hanging with him—being too cowardly would also embarrass him.

He patted Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu's shoulder: "Come on, let's go out and see. What are you scared of? I've got you."

The two got out of the car, one after the other.

Tie Lu Fei's massive build gave him a strong presence, and with Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu also a robust fellow, the two standing together projected considerable deterrence.

Tie Lu Fei carefully examined the vehicle beside Su Rui, seeing it was a rugged off‑road car whose original form was still visible, clearly not upgraded many times, and thus he paid no heed to people. He shouted in a coarse voice, "What crazy woman is that, shouting about what? What business do you have with my brother?"

Su Rui remained unmoved, continuing her role as an angry avenger, her spear aimed at Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu: "Who are you? I'm looking for Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu! What does it have to do with you? Let him come out himself and speak! What, you found a backer and turned into a hiding turtle?"

Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu's face flushed green then white from the scolding, and he couldn't help getting annoyed. He was about to speak when Tie Lu Fei pressed him back.

Tie Lu Fei was repeatedly called a 'soft egg' and a 'turtling coward' by Su Rui, which made him quite angry; even though he's always in the top five of the rankings, when has he ever been spoken to like this?

Whether he helps his brother or not is irrelevant; he mainly feels his own face has been bruised.

Tie Lu Fei stepped forward, his tone threatening: "I don't care what grudges you have; he's now my man. If you have any sense, get out quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."

At that point he swaggered again: "I don't blame you for not knowing who I am. Let me tell you, you've heard of Tie Lu Fei, right? I'm ranked third on the leaderboard! If you have any sense, get out now, and I'll pretend today never happened. If I move to act, you…"

As he spoke, his gaze swept up and down Su Rui.

Before he could utter a more disgusting line, a dagger materialized out of thin air, slicing precisely and ruthlessly across Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu's throat!

Tie Lu Fei's harsh words hadn't even finished, his arrogant, threatening expression instantly solidified, turning into extreme terror.

He was less than half a step from Rou Ruo Xiao Paofu, even feeling the warm liquid splash onto his own face.

He snapped his head around, trying to see what had happened, but it was already too late.

The next second, a long blade pierced his heart from behind.

Cheng Shuili stood behind Tie Lu Fei's corpse, lifted her hand and drew Night Hunt; she even felt sorry for Night Hunt having to kill someone like this.

She pulled several sheets of tissue from the Abyssal Ring and wiped the blood off Night Hunt.

It shouldn't have ended so quickly, but such a good opportunity…

Moreover, Tie Lu Fei also owned a territory; if he discarded even his vehicle just to run, Cheng Shuili would have no choice but to declare war and lead the Black Feather people to assault his lands.

When that time comes the situation will be messy again, so it's better to settle it right now.

Tie Lu Fei's lips trembled, he turned his head, straining to see the person behind him, "Wu…Ya…?"

Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate, stretching her voice: "It's me. If you meet Yama, remember to give my name, though it probably won't help, since you're the one who sees Yama now."
