Doomsday Roulette

Ye Zhongming tossed a pill into his mouth and also handed one to the last golden masked warrior beside him.

The warrior didn’t ask any questions and swallowed it directly.

Both of them understood that the journey ahead would be arduous.

Since the assassins had set up such a lethal trap, they would definitely not allow them to reach the conference center safely; there would certainly be someone waiting for them here.

The only extreme condition that might allow them to be safe was if the assassins' target was Jie Su and not Ye Zhongming.

However, this situation was unlikely. Jie Su kept a low profile and aside from the last encounter on the Novice Planet, he did not have much presence among the All Races of the Universe.

If Jie Su was targeted for killing someone on the Novice Planet, then Ye Zhongming could not escape either.

He had killed far more people than Jie Su, and those seeking revenge would definitely not overlook him.

The drug took effect within his body, and a surge of violent power was boiling up.

Ye Zhongming had to do this; his combat power was not on par with Jie Su and his guards, and now that they were separated, he could only rely on himself.

At a certain moment, both of them looked up together, and above them, two figures exuding murderous intent had already approached not far away.

They chose to roll backward together.

It was unwise to directly withstand the onslaught without understanding the situation first.

Due to the angle, one blade of light struck the ground while another sliced into the nearby wall.

No one knew how many years that beautifully patterned stone road had been there, but now it was cut by this blade of light, creating a crack and sending shattered stones flying around, hitting the walls of the surrounding staircase without making any sound.

Only some faint protective barriers emerged, and the debris either crumbled or bounced elsewhere.

After dodging an attack, Ye Zhongming and the golden masked warrior exchanged glances, realizing they had unknowingly entered a closed space set up by their opponents, where no sounds could be transmitted outside for a short time.

"I'll take the left," the golden masked warrior said, brandishing his weapon and charging forward.

At least from the previous two attacks, the assassin on the left was stronger.

Ye Zhongming activated his bloodline, his body expanding as a massive black shadow appeared in the alley.

"I should have known," the assassin facing Ye Zhongming murmured, then once again scattered a glinting frost from his hands.

This frost did not attack Ye Zhongming directly but landed around him.

Because Ye Zhongming had transformed, these frosty lights, which were originally at a height above the ground, fell onto the black giant's body.

At the moment they made contact, they instantly emitted a red glow, exploding outward and connecting with other light points, forming a large red net that enveloped the black shadow!

These guys had truly come well-prepared to deal with Jie Su and Ye Zhongming.

The Black Mist Giant let out a silent roar, a strong mental shock ready to erupt.

"Heh… useless," the assassin chuckled coldly, knowing that the only thing the struggling giant could do was launch a mental attack.

But they had already developed countermeasures, even planning to use this indiscriminate attack to affect the golden masked warrior, swiftly killing him, and then encircling Ye Zhongming to complete this ambush mission.

Originally, everything had been meticulously planned by the assassins—from the ambush to the division, from the blocking to the isolation, and from taking them down one by one to appropriate responses; they were fully prepared, and so far, everything was going smoothly.

Even Ye Zhongming’s transformation was accurately dealt with, and they had consumed expensive anti-mental impact drugs to minimize the shock.

Under normal circumstances, this battle would have effectively ended here; all they needed to do was collect two lives.

Yet, a twist awaited them here.
