Chapter 63 – Sequence ⑦

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

A blade flashed, and the burly man's head soared into the sky. Blood erupted from his neck like a fountain!

With a heavy thud, the man's body collapsed to the ground.

This Class Holder, whose Physical Attribute was around 25 Points, had been killed by Wen Yu in a single strike!

One-Eye caught the scent of food and immediately scrambled over to the corpse, tearing into it with large bites.

"Court-death-seeking trash. You truly disgust me,"

Wen Yu muttered as he looked at the corpse. It wasn't exactly a private grumble, as his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"A word of advice! Anyone with a Physical Attribute below 30 Points, don't come up here looking for death! You might not be afraid to die, but I'm afraid of my hand getting tired from all the killing!"

The surrounding Class Holders hadn't even recovered from the shock of the instant kill. Seeing the man who had been so overbearing just moments ago decapitated like a chicken, they stood there with their mouths agape in astonishment!

Judging by how that burly man had casually kicked a Class Holder to death earlier, his Physical Attribute must have been at least 20 Points. Yet, he had been sent to the afterlife so cleanly and efficiently.

Then, many people suddenly snapped to their senses. The glow of Teleportation Jades began to flicker one after another!

These were the smart ones. After seeing that brief exchange, the Level 1 Class Holders no longer harbored any delusions of luck!

To obtain treasure, one first had to be alive!

Once the flashing lights subsided, less than half of the original survivors remained.

However, every single person left was, without exception, a Level 2 Class Holder.

The scene gradually fell silent. Everyone silently watched the timer above Pandora's Box, quietly calculating their own plans.

While Wen Yu was silently staring at the crimson remaining time above Pandora's Box-20:18-a massive boom echoed out.

"Rumble!"

Wen Yu reacted instantly, snapping his head toward the source of the sound.

A man wearing a white shirt was already standing not far from Pandora's Box.

He had short, needle-like hair and a resolute face. He looked to be around twenty-five years old. He was currently eyeing Pandora's Box with curiosity. Judging by his relaxed posture, it was as if he had been standing there all along!

The sound from before was merely the sonic boom caused by the wind as he ran at full speed!

His speed surpassed anyone Wen Yu had ever seen!

"Were you the one who opened the Treasure Box for the first time?"

An indifferent voice came from the man in white. However, everyone present could hear the sheer arrogance in his tone!

That tone, that demeanor-it was as if he were saying: "Everyone here is trash! I don't even acknowledge your existence!"

Wen Yu nodded with a solemn expression.

Based on speed alone, this man required Wen Yu's absolute focus. According to Wen Yu's estimation, the speed the man had just displayed would require a Physical Attribute of at least 80 Points to even barely achieve!

"Then, you were also the one who killed these people on the ground?"

The man in white glanced at Wen Yu. Seeing Wen Yu nod again, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Good kills. These pieces of trash actually dared to covet my things. You've done me a favor. For that alone, I forgive your transgression of opening Pandora's Box. You may leave on your own; I won't kill you."

"Consider this a gift from me, Chu Ziling, to you! No need to thank me."

Hearing those words, Wen Yu actually laughed.

"Chu Ziling, was it? Just for the fact that you could make me hear such a joke, I'll forgive your offense. Get out of here on your own, and I might not kill you."

"Consider this a gift from me, Wen Yu, to you! No need to thank me."

…

Chu Ziling's expression instantly went cold! Then, a low voice rang out.

"Heh, now this is interesting."

The corners of Chu Ziling's mouth curled up wider and wider until, finally, he burst into a fit of manic laughter.

Then, the laughter vanished abruptly. Chu Ziling stared at Wen Yu with a calm face and asked, "Sequence? Which number?"

This question left most of the people nearby confused. However, the Military Uniform Man not far away and the two figures hidden in the crowd wearing black robes felt their hearts tighten.

The newcomer was also a Sequence!

Judging by the speed Chu Ziling had just displayed, Wen Yu had already guessed that this man must be one of the Sequences. He replied directly, "Definitely higher than yours!"

"Oh, then you must be the No. 2 the Treasure Land Guardian mentioned. What a coincidence. Truly, what a coincidence."

Chu Ziling muttered to himself. Suddenly, pale flames erupted across his entire body. With a flash of his silhouette, a flaming punch appeared right in front of Wen Yu's face!

Only then did Chu Ziling's follow-up words reach Wen Yu's ears.

"If I kill you, I'll be No. 2!"

Extreme speed brought immense kinetic energy. With the sound of air exploding, Wen Yu and Chu Ziling became locked in a frantic struggle!

In the eyes of most bystanders, the battle between the two was nothing more than a blur of black and white shadows. Their speed was so great that most of the nearby Class Holders couldn't even track their movements.

Even One-Eye, who was standing to the side and uninjured, couldn't find an opening to intervene!

Finally, the two combatants separated. Wen Yu retreated three steps, while Chu Ziling was sent flying by Wen Yu's massive strength. Judging by the dazed look in his eyes, the damage to his soul was not light!

In this exchange, Wen Yu had the upper hand-if one didn't count the white flames still clinging to his body.

Forcefully snuffing out the flames burning on him, Wen Yu's expression darkened completely.

This Chu Ziling's Physical Attributes were nearly 20 Points lower than Wen Yu's while in his Combat State!

However, his Skills were incredibly powerful.

First, there was a Skill that boosted his speed. Based on their exchange, Wen Yu estimated that this Skill had directly doubled Chu Ziling's speed!

Furthermore, the flames on Chu Ziling's body were clearly an S-Rank ability or higher, with devastating lethality. The various burns on Wen Yu's body were proof enough of that.

A Combat Power Assessment of Chu Ziling flashed through Wen Yu's mind. Seeing Chu Ziling's eyes vacant and hollow-a clear sign that Soul Strike was still taking effect-Wen Yu raised his blade and charged at the staggering Chu Ziling, swinging directly at his head.

Strike while he's down.

This was a life-and-death struggle, not a turn-based sparring match. A battle had to produce a result, even if it meant death!

Given Chu Ziling's speed, if that guy managed to get his hands on Pandora's Box and started darting around Demon Island, Wen Yu had no confidence at all that he could snatch it back from him!
