Chapter 151 – The Correct Way to Use Phasing!

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"Well then, good luck!"

As Wen Yu finished his Last Blessing, he immediately deactivated his Combat State, recalling One-Eye into the Soul Realm. Then, he re-entered his Combat State and let his feet slowly sink into the ground.

Phasing!

He would use Phasing to merge his entire body into the earth and then move toward the edge of the Barrier!

This was his method for avoiding the chaotic slaughter happening above!

There might be a few creatures with the ability to travel through the earth, but with Wen Yu's current Physical Attribute, he didn't fear a fight even underground!

The Phasing skill seemed simple, but as Wen Yu used it more frequently, his understanding of the ability deepened.

No S-Rank skill was ever simple!

As Wen Yu's body slowly descended, he eventually encountered resistance after a while.

Looking down, he saw a black Light Curtain emitting a faint shimmer.

This was the boundary of the underground Barrier.

The entire Battlefield Between Two World was encased in a spherical Barrier; whether one tried to go to the heavens or into the earth, there was no way out!

"So, this is how it is…"

Wen Yu sighed softly and looked upward. Through the thick layers of soil, he seemed to see the battlefield above where everyone was slaughtering each other. He seemed to see Little Dragon silently enduring the attacks of every living thing, and Sun Ruixing wandering aimlessly at the edge of the Barrier. He seemed to see the kindness… and the evil hidden in the deepest parts of every creature's heart!

"Is this what you wanted? Is this your goal? Is this the 'will to survive' you wanted to see?"

"I'm sorry, but all I see is ugliness-though I am one of them as well!"

The battle above the ground lasted for an unknown amount of time, but Wen Yu could feel himself constantly rising from his starting position as the scale of the Barrier continued to shrink.

During the process, Wen Yu changed his position several times, heading toward the Exchange Pillar above to trade for some Stamina Recovery Potions. This was the fundamental reason he was able to stay underground for such a long time.

By the time Wen Yu emerged onto the surface for the sixth time, the battle was essentially over!

The range of the Barrier had become very, very small-likely less than a thousand meters across. Within this thousand-meter radius, blood and mangled corpses were everywhere.

A few Mutant Beasts and a small number of Class Holders were locked in a desperate, life-and-death struggle!

Crimson eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent. Neither the humans nor the Mutant Beasts cared who their next opponent was.

It didn't matter who the opponent was; every living thing was an enemy now!

At the spot where Little Dragon had originally been, countless corpses were piled around it, completely sealing Little Dragon inside!

Wen Yu didn't know if Little Dragon was dead or alive, but just looking at the black scales scattered around, he knew that even if it wasn't dead, it was on the brink of death!

Since the Barrier's range wasn't large, Wen Yu's appearance naturally drew the eyes of the few remaining creatures on the field.

"Wen Yu-Ge, hurry and help me!"

The one who spoke was Sun Aotian.

This kid had disappeared somewhere during the fight with the Demon Race, and even after the Demonic Creatures were all dead, he hadn't appeared.

It wasn't until the Barrier had shrunk to a certain point that Sun Aotian joined the fray.

Because of this, Sun Aotian hadn't consumed much stamina, which was why he had managed to last until now!

On the other hand, Zhang Lifei, who was currently fighting Sun Aotian, was in much worse shape!

He was covered in wounds and blood; it was impossible to tell if the blood was his own or someone else's.

Li Shanlin was lying at Zhang Lifei's feet. Judging by the massive, hideous wounds on his body, he was undoubtedly as dead as could be.

"Wen Yu-Ge, hurry and help me kill this piece of trash! This kid just ambushed me!"

Seeing that Wen Yu still had the leisure to survey his surroundings, Sun Aotian grew frantic on the spot.

Zhang Lifei's strength was significantly greater than Sun Aotian's. Even though he was currently suffering from non-negligible injuries, he was still evenly matched with Sun Aotian!

However, upon hearing Sun Aotian's words, Zhang Lifei's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he couldn't help but roar in fury!

"You bastard! I ambushed you? Didn't we agree to deal with the Mutant Beasts together first? You fucking sold us out the moment you turned around! Do you dare deny that you're the one who killed Uncle Shanlin? Do you dare say these wounds on my body aren't because of you?"

Hearing Zhang Lifei's shouting, Sun Aotian didn't say a word. Instead, he accelerated his attacks while constantly stealing glances toward Wen Yu.

Observing the battle between the two, Wen Yu silently summoned One-Eye.

"Go. Clean up the remaining Mutant Beasts."

There weren't many Mutant Beasts left to begin with. Furthermore, after the brutal combat, their injuries had become increasingly severe. Facing a fresh force like One-Eye, they had absolutely no room to fight back.

Seeing Wen Yu summon One-Eye without taking a single step forward himself, Sun Aotian called out once more.

"Big brother! Help me!"

Looking at Sun Aotian's desperate eyes, Wen Yu gave a soft chuckle.

He slowly pulled a cigarette from his Spatial Ring, slowly lit it, took a slow drag, and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke.

Then, he spoke slowly: "Is this really fun for you?"

Indeed, was it fun?

Hearing Wen Yu's words, the fiercely "battling" Sun Aotian and Zhang Lifei gradually stopped their movements. The gaze they turned toward Wen Yu slowly began to overflow with killing intent!

"The act is over. It really was quite boring."

Sun Aotian shook his head with a bitter smile as he and Zhang Lifei slowly backed away together.

"How did you figure it out?"

"I can only say your acting was too poor. Truly pathetic!"

"The blood on your body isn't yours at all. I've been watching for so long, and I haven't seen a single sign of bleeding from your supposed wounds."

"Most importantly, you people are truly ruthless! Especially you!"

Wen Yu shifted his gaze to Zhang Lifei!

"That was your uncle, wasn't it? And you just killed him like that! From behind? It was an ice-spike-like Skill, right? There are still some ice shards on Li Shanlin's wound that you didn't clean up properly!"

"Did you see it? The look in his eyes before he died. It must have been painful, right? He trusted you enough to leave his back to you, and you just killed him! Why?"

"Why?"

Wen Yu's voice was calm and indifferent.

But Zhang Lifei seemed to have been provoked, screaming at Wen Yu!

"What was he supposed to do if he didn't die? Only one of us could survive anyway!"

"If he didn't die, this play-this trap-couldn't have been set up at all!"

"He was going to die regardless! Why couldn't his death be more valuable?"

"Also, why didn't you fall for it? Why didn't you fall for it?!"

"Because you didn't fall for it, he died for nothing! So, it's your fault he's dead!"

"Yes, you're the one who killed him!"

Zhang Lifei's tone gradually calmed down. In the gaze he directed at Wen Yu, something called hatred had surfaced alongside the killing intent!

"That was a beautiful shift of blame. I'll give you credit for that!"

Wen Yu nodded at Zhang Lifei and gave him a generous thumbs-up!

Then, ignoring Zhang Lifei's livid face, Wen Yu turned to look at Sun Aotian.

"I can understand why you tried to set me up. I don't blame you for that!"

"On the contrary, I should thank you. Because you've just given me a reason to kill you!"

Hearing Wen Yu's words, Sun Aotian actually laughed.

"Hypocrite!"
