Chapter 40: Murderous Intent

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Northern European countries, a messenger of heaven had awakened last year.

A pair of angelic wings could be spread out from the back of this messenger, and he could fan the power of heaven.

At this moment…

The person who had locked onto the two people below with the power of Heaven was precisely the emissary of Heaven.

Phew–

A white flame fell rapidly downwards. As soon as it came into contact, it ignited the objects illuminated by the light.

Xu Yuan and Su Mo’s figures were instantly engulfed in flames.

“F*ck?!”

The audience was dumbfounded.

“To think that I even voted for Angel. He actually launched a sneak attack and attacked our country’s players?!”

“Angel? Bah, birdman!”

“He dares to kill in front of the global audience?!” The audience was in disbelief. “Is he crazy?!”

Of course, he wasn’t crazy.

He didn’t kill anyone.

Heavenly Fire could drive away all evil things in the world; It could also purify the energy of living beings.

Ordinary people who were burned by it would lose their strength for a short period of time, but there was no danger of losing their lives.

The white flames were still burning, but Angel who was on the hill flapped his wings and quickly flew away.

The audience looked at each other.

What was this bird trying to do?

The flames shown on the broadcast screen burned for more than ten minutes.

When the flames dissipated, the two people trapped inside slowly emerged.

Judging from their appearances, they seemed to be fine after being burned by the Heavenly Fire for a long time.

“Heavenly Fire can’t burn humans to death.” Someone explained in the comments, “But it can purify the energy in the human body.”

“In other words…”

“Goddess and Xu Yuan have lost all their powers!”

Everyone was stunned. “Losing their powers in the secret realm is no different from death!”

They were in a dangerous secret realm like the Mirror of Hell!

“They should withdraw from the competition!” The audience immediately sent out comments. “No matter how good your scores are, they can’t be compared to your life!”

They looked nervously at the two people on the live broadcast screen.

“Go, save them immediately.” Liu Anhe, who was in the meeting hall of the organizing committee, quickly issued an order.

Everyone present was knowledgeable and knew that the Heavenly Fire could temporarily make people lose their strength.

If they left Xu Yuan and Su Mo in the dangerous secret realm, they would definitely not be able to hold on.

After the subordinate received the order and left, he returned a moment later and said with a hint of panic, “Chiefs, our people can’t enter!”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked.

“Investigate this immediately!” A bald committee member immediately said, “As quickly as you can!”

The subordinate hurriedly left after receiving the order.

The faces of the committee members darkened slightly.

The access rights to the Mirror of Hell were in their hands, so how could the secret realm close the door to them?

Layers of dark clouds gradually enveloped everyone’s heads.

“They seem to be starting,” Liu Anhe said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the meeting hall looked even more solemn. No one said a word.

In the secret realm.

Mu Ziqiu had just finished off a fallen demigod and was sitting down to rest. When he recovered, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in the shadows.

A dagger glowing with a dark green light suddenly appeared.

Despite Mu Ziqiu’s quick reflexes, his arm was cut by the dagger.

The moment his arm was injured, Mu Ziqiu chanted an incantation as fast as he could, creating a sturdy shelter for himself.

“What’s going on?!” The audience was shocked. “Another sneak attack?! Is it fun to play tricks like this?!”

Being in a secret realm, one would not be bound by the rules of the real world.

Anything could happen, and sometimes, even their teammates around them could secretly attack!

However, this international event was highly anticipated.

There was still someone who dared to do such a thing in front of a global audience?

The person in the shadows did not appear after the sneak attack, but he was definitely still waiting in the shadows.

Moreover, the dagger was clearly smeared with poison. Mu Ziqiu, who was hiding under the shield, understood this and quickly rummaged through his storage space to find a bottle of antidote to consume.

However, the poison seemed to be too strong.

He drank the antidote, but his body was still surrounded by black gas.

“F*ck, don’t be like this!” Dragon Country’s audience immediately panicked. “Just now Goddess Su Mo was ambushed and lost all her power.”

“Now it’s Mu Ziqiu…”

Panicked, they kept muttering softly, praying that the people who were attacked in the secret realm would be safe.

However, sneak attacks were still happening in various parts of the secret realm.

Furthermore, it was targeted at those with outstanding talent!

Thunder God of War Leo was hit by a Chaos spell, and his body instantly stiffened.

However, he reacted quickly. He bit the tip of his tongue as hard as he could and activated the Berserker’s blood with intense pain, barely breaking the curse.

Then, he used the power of lightning to kill the Demon King who was fighting with him.

However…

When he angrily turned in the direction of the ambusher, another arrow flew from behind him!

“An evil spirit has spawned near Su Mo and Xu Yuan!” In the main venue, someone pointed at the screen and shouted in panic.

In the secret realm, Xu Yuan was right across from Su Mo.

An evil spirit suddenly leaped towards the two of them.

They quickly dodged to the side.

“Roar!”

As soon as the evil spirit, which was both vicious and thin, landed on the ground, it grabbed the scorched ground tightly with its long and thin legs. It quickly turned around and pounced at the two of them again.

Puff!

However, it had just pounced into the air when a silver arrow pierced through it.

The whistling silver arrow didn’t slow down. It hooked the ugly body of the evil spirit that was struggling hard and sank deep into the wall.

Xu Yuan and Su Mo quickly looked over.

Several figures appeared in the direction where the arrow flew.

“Kid, you can’t die!” The sharpshooter who shot the silver arrow was the fastest to arrive.

He had a smile on his face, emerald green hair, and pointy ears. It seemed that he had awakened the bloodline of the forest elves.

“Who are you?” Xu Yuan frowned.

“Hey, I just saved you!” This person had a Western-looking face, but his Mandarin was extremely accurate. “Shouldn’t you say thank you first?”

As they spoke, the others had also arrived.

“What are you waiting for?” A strong man carrying a heavy sword patted the person standing beside him with the back of his hand and said loudly, “Use your spatial spell to teleport this kid away.”

“Someone wants to see him?” The burly man chuckled and looked at Su Mo. “As for this woman, send her to my room.”

Su Mo’s eyes turned cold.

“You guys…” Xu Yuan swept his gaze across everyone and laughed after a moment. “Is this fish that Old Man Liu wants to catch?”

“Aren’t you afraid of the consequences after causing such a huge incident in the Dragon Country?”

“If we were afraid, we wouldn’t have done it, right?” The sharpshooter elf smiled in a relaxed manner. He said, “You might as well worry about yourselves!”

“Kid, I heard from Guild Leader Luo that you can create some magical treasure chests?” He looked at Xu Yuan brightly, and the smile on his face was extremely wide. “From now on, you will stay in the [Doomsday Court] and provide us with treasure chests!”

Behind the sharpshooter, the mage in the black cloak spread his hands forward, and teleportation runes lit up around him, slowly forming a magic circle.

“Rise!”

He raised his finger and activated the spell!
