Chapter 557: with translation of chapter title

Zhou Ping was no longer suppressing the fire.

Zhou Ning had already left the hospital bed.

Qin Zhixia stood in front of her.

Jiang Yuan stood on the left side.

Liang Wen blocked the right side.

Seeing this, Zhou Ping felt the nearly broken thread in his mind retighten.

He did not believe in the Federation.

But now, his sister is alive.

That's enough.

The Seven-Eyed Crown fully opened above his head.

Seven dark-red pupils rotated simultaneously, the ward's fluorescent tubes went out in rows, large patches of wall plaster peeled off, and the floor tiles were pressed by the rule into fine cracks.

Dark red chains rose from behind Zhou Ping.

One.

Ten.

Over a hundred.

They crawled out along the walls, ceiling, and floor, surrounding Sai Men's position with a cage that had no escape.

Sai Men lowered his head to look at his wrist wrapped in chains, then looked toward Zhou Ping.

Wow.

Do you really need so many people to bully me, an unarmed gentleman?

Liang Wen pressed forward with his knife, and black flame crawled up the back of the blade to the tip.

Correct that.

This is a justice group beating.

Short for it, don't call out when you're being hit.

Jiang Yuan did not respond.

The Dark Shadow Court unfolded.

The hospital floor turned black, shadows surged out from under the bed, door cracks, and equipment, and soldiers knelt then rose.

The crown continued to unconsciously suppress the curse master.

Jiang Yuan's shadow soldiers moved slower than usual, their forms flickering.

But he didn't stop.

Being able to move is enough.

Being able to press an inch adds an inch to the odds.

He raised his hand and drew three cards.

King of Spades.

Queen of Clubs.

Jack of Diamonds.

The three cards hit the ground, the shadow soldiers' formation instantly contracted, locking down all movable areas beneath Sai Men's feet.

Sai Men looked around.

Mr. Jiang Yuan, are you still working overtime in this condition?

Even the labor law would stay silent upon seeing this.

Jiang Yuan answered briefly.

If you die, I'll take compensatory leave.

The next second, Zhou Ping raised his hand and pressed down.

The dark red chains lunged at Sai Men simultaneously.

No testing.

No preamble.

Zhou Ping now just wants to tear apart that mask-wearing madman.

He had already been threatened by Sai Men with his sister once.

Such a thing cannot happen a second time.

The chains struck the gray mist.

The gray mist tried to disperse, but the Seven-Eyed Crown forcibly held it in place, like a living thing grabbed by the neck, large patches being peeled away.

Sai Men stepped back half a step.

Jiang Yuan's shadow coiled up from under his feet, gripping the soles of his shoes.

Liang Wen kicked off the wall and surged forward, his black flame knife slashing horizontally.

"Dark Spawn Ultimate Invincible Judgment!"

Qin Zhixia couldn't help but frown from behind.

Can't you make your move name shorter?

Liang Wen's knife didn't stop.

If it's short, it's not cool.

The blade grazed the edge of Sai Men's mask.

Black flame scorched the Gray Stone Mask, leaving a charred black crack.

Sai Men tilted his head slightly.

A crack in the Mask revealed pale skin.

Only that no one had time to look closely.

Zhou Ping's chain had already caught up.

The dark red Rules pressed down on Sai Men's shoulder, forcing him onto the ground.

Sai Men jabbed his staff toward the ground.

Gray Mist spread from the base of the staff, trying to melt the chain.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand.

King of Spades flew out.

The card blade lodged into a Gray Mist node, and a Shadow Soldier lunged, using its body to press that piece of Gray Mist down.

The first soldier shattered on the spot.

The second soldier took the top.

The third soldier filled the vacancy.

Jiang Yuan's complexion turned pale, yet his fingers did not tremble.

Sai Men could not loosen.

Zhou Ping gave Jiang Yuan a glance.

This young man is hard to deal with.

It isn't about strength.

It's the kind of person who, even when reduced to half a breath, can still count every line on the field.

Zhou Ping used to be most annoyed by these official elites.

Now he has to admit that Jiang Yuan's survival to this day isn't due to luck.

"Press him down."

Zhou Ping spoke.

Jiang Yuan replied, "Pressing."

Liang Wen slashed beside him, forcibly pushing Sai Men's right hand aside.

"Second brothers, could you show some respect to this lord?"

"This lord is also dealing damage."

Sai Men lifted his knee and kicked at Liang Wen.

Liang Wen sidestepped half a step, the Black Flame Knife reversed in his hand, yet his whole body was still jolted backward, his back slamming into the wall.

The wall surface dented inward.

Liang Wen bared his teeth.

Qin Zhixia's mechanical prosthetic arm shot out a grappling hook, latched onto the ground, and she used the leverage to launch herself out.

She dared not stray too far from Zhou Ning.

Therefore her strike could only reach a short distance.

But that segment was ruthless enough.

Mechanical Fist smashed directly at Sai Men's chest.

Sai Men was just about to turn when Zhou Ping's chain clamped his neck from behind.

Jiang Yuan's Shadow caught his knee.

Liang Wen's Black Flame sealed the right side.

Qin Zhixia's fist struck.

Sai Men's chest sank half an inch, and Gray Mist puffed out from the seams of his clothing.

At that moment, everyone in the infirmary saw the opportunity.

Can fight.

Really can fight.

The dark red in Zhou Ping's eyes deepened.

He seized the chance, snapping his five fingers shut.

The Seven-Eyed Crown emitted a low rumble.

The Gray Mist on Sai Men's surface was peeled away layer by layer by the crown Rules, revealing more pale skin, and even the eyeballs on his staff began to spin wildly.

Tiny blood veins emerged in that living red eye.

Sai Men lowered his head and looked at his staff.

"Ah."

"Your attacks have taken a lot off the health bar."

"Worth commending."

Zhou Ping didn't want to hear his nonsense.

The chain pierced straight through the Gray Mist, binding Sai Men's limbs.

Jiang Yuan continued to replenish the cards.

The Jack of Diamonds landed at Sai Men's feet, a Shadow stood up, pinning his Shadow to the ground.

Liang Wen gripped the knife with both hands, and the Black Flame Knife slashed diagonally downward.

"Don't blink."

"This lord wants to go big."

Jiang Yuan's face was expressionless.

Don't set up a flag.

Liang Wen choked.

You really affect your teammates' performance.

The knife fell.

Sai Men's mask was burned, creating a second crack.

The cracks crossed.

A notch appeared on the left half of the dark gray mask.

Sai Men stepped back.

This was the first time, after being reshaped, that he was forced to retreat in a head-on fight.

Su Ming outside the window watched the battle inside, his breathing badly disordered.

He really wanted to stall time again.

But the Time Marrow Worm was already gnawing wildly inside his body.

Using it again might cause him to collapse straight onto the outer wall.

He stared at Sai Men's movements.

His goal was simple.

He didn't need to win.

As long as he extracts that one second before Sai Men turns the tide, and passes it to Jiang Yuan and the others.

This is what he owes Lei Yu.

It's also the rule he set for himself.

Inside.

Sai Men was forced to the edge of the hospital bed.

The hospital bed had been smashed to pieces, leaving only a twisted metal frame.

Zhou Ping walked forward step by step.

With each step, the crown's suppression grew another layer.

You just had me take off the crown.

Now I ask you.

How do you want to die?

Sai Men tilted his head.

This question is quite offensive.

I suggest changing it to: Mr. Sai Men, what posture would you like to take your bow in?

Zhou Ping raised his hand.

Chains pierced Sai Men's shoulders, pinning him to the wall.

I'm not joking with you.

Sai Men lowered his head and glanced at his shoulder.

Gray mist leaked from the wound, then was quickly sealed by the crown.

He laughed.

It wasn't that earlier arrogant laugh.

This time, it was light.

So light it made Jiang Yuan's back tense.

Jiang Yuan immediately spoke up.

Don't stop!

Zhou Ping also realized.

The chains surged, dark-red rules pressing toward Sai Men's head.

Liang Wen brandished his knife and rushed forward.

Qin Zhixia's mechanical arm charged up.

All attacks pressed toward Sai Men.

But Sai Men did not dodge.

He slowly straightened his body.

The shoulder pinned by the chains made a sound of bone and flesh shifting.

He raised his head and bowed slightly toward the hospital room ceiling.

The movement was very standard.

It was even polite.

Jiang Yuan's pupils contracted.

He's inviting something in.

Zhou Ping pressed down with his palm.

Shut up!

The chains tightened.

Sai Men was choked until his chest caved in, yet he still raised his right hand.

That hand gripped the tip of the Eyeball Staff.

The living red eye spun wildly.

Blood veins crawled over the entire eyeball.

Sai Men whispered.

"Honored master."

"The audience seats are already heated."

"Please allow me to add another Ticket."

Jiang Yuan tossed out the Ace of Spades.

Liang Wen's Black Flame Knife also arrived.

Zhou Ping's chain had already clamped onto Sai Men's right arm.

But that hand still squeezed down.

Click.

The red eye shattered.

No blood splattered.

Only a surge of Gray Mist spewed from the rupture.

The ward vanished.

It wasn't the wall collapsing, nor the floor being pierced.

Instead, everyone's positions were forcibly dragged into another space.

The lights were gone.

The doors were gone.

The windows were gone.

The rain outside, the warning line downstairs, and the helicopter rotors were all cut off.

The Dark Shadow Court beneath Jiang Yuan's feet was pressed by Gray Space.

The soldier just stood up, then its body crumbled from head to toe, turning into large pieces of black debris.

The first row shattered.

The second row shattered.

The third row hadn't formed before being swallowed by Gray Mist.

Jiang Yuan felt a pressure in the chest, blood surged to the throat.

They forced it down.

Can't.

The Dark Shadow Court couldn't hold.

This tier is no longer ordinary S Ji.

Higher than Bone City.

Bone City at least still has a city as its Core, can be dismantled, and can search for rule loopholes.

The thing before me has no entrance.

Or rather, the entrance is Sai Men itself.

Liang Wen cursed.

"No way?"

"Can't get past the second stage, huh?"

"Villains, can you talk about balance updates?"

Before finishing the sentence, they were lifted by an invisible force.

The Black Flame Knife slipped from the hand, spun half a circle in the air, and pierced the gray ground.

Liang Wen was thrown ten meters away, rolled several times after landing, opened his mouth and spat blood.

Qin Zhixia tried to rush over to assist, but the Gray Mist tangled their feet.

The mechanical prosthetic emitted a harsh alarm.

Obscure's sync rate dropped.

Zhou Ning was protected by a Shadow Soldier in the corner, but the soldier shattered too quickly.

Qin Zhixia flicked the Mechanical Lock Hook backward, pulling Zhou Ning to their side, using their body to shield her.

Zhou Ning's teeth trembled.

She doesn't understand the rules.

She only saw the people who had just been protecting her, one after another being crushed.

"Brother..."

Zhou Ping didn't look back.

He couldn't.

He pushed his palm forward, and the Seven-Eyed Crown released a stronger dark red rule.

The chain rushed toward Sai Men.

But this time, the chain, just within three meters of Sai Men, began to be worn away by Gray Mist.

It wasn't shattered.

It was erased.

Zhou Ping's back of the hand split, dark red veins bulged from beneath the skin.
