The seven-star evolver, Zuo Jinxuan, who had always been manipulated and used as a scapegoat due to her low emotional intelligence, suddenly pulled out a firework from somewhere and threw it into the sky.
Yes, a firework. But this firework was far more exquisite than ordinary ones and was made entirely of high-quality white jade, adorned with intricate patterns.
To be honest, as soon as the firework appeared, Ye Zhongming instinctively felt nervous. His muscles tensed up, ready to dodge at any moment.
There was no way around it. Everyone was fighting desperately. Although it seemed like he had absolute control, that was conditional. His current weakened state left him vulnerable, and getting too close to these two would be very troublesome. Especially Zuo Jinxuan, who was clearly proficient in swordsmanship and had combined combat skills, making her almost a different kind of professional. Ye Zhongming had to be wary.
However, when the firework exploded, Ye Zhongming was taken aback.
This firework didn't head towards him; instead, it exploded directly in the… Bone-Root Domain!
Ji Rui Guang had spent a hefty sum to acquire this valuable item from his trading partner, only to have it destroyed by his own teammate, Zuo Jinxuan.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
It was no wonder Ji Rui Guang was furious and humiliated. His teammate's sabotage was simply too hateful.
Zuo Jinxuan's response left Ji Rui Guang in disbelief, and Ye Zhongming couldn't help but regard this woman with newfound respect.
"You want to fight? Go ahead, I'm out."
After saying this, Zuo Jinxuan, wearing an inexplicable victorious smile, softly added, "I give up."
As soon as her words fell, her body vanished from the space, removed from this special roulette space, leaving the two of them looking at each other in confusion.
Ji Rui Guang was furious. How much had he sacrificed for the current situation and for the final victory? From grade 8 magic crystals to the Bridge of Light Years, from the Bone-Root Domain to the Sailor's Dream Flower Field, from a complete set of silver daggers to the exchanged Rong Clan Holy Armor, from the sacrificed Anman to the shield he used, Jas…
Everything was for the sake of ultimate victory, yet, just as he was about to see the dawn of hope, Zuo Jinxuan, whom he had paid a fortune to invite, fled!
This almost completely shattered Ji Rui Guang's hopes of winning. Without weapons and the protection of the Rong Clan Holy Armor, how could he kill Ye Zhongming? Even though the latter was in a weakened state, he was not someone Ji Rui Guang could challenge alone!
Ji Rui Guang had never hated someone so deeply before; he didn't even have such feelings towards Ye Zhongming. But now, he wished he could tear Zuo Jinxuan apart!
Ye Zhongming glanced at his empty magazine, bewildered. He couldn’t understand why Zuo Jinxuan had suddenly run away!
If she had persisted for even a minute longer, she would have realized that Ye Zhongming was out of bullets. Their greatest threat, his long-range attacks, had lost effect, and they could have completely used Ye Zhongming's weakened state to find an opportunity to kill him.
But Zuo Jinxuan just ran away.
Ye Zhongming tried to rationalize this. This woman shouldn’t have acted this way because the situation was far from being irrecoverable. Even if Ye Zhongming still had bullets in his sniper rifle, Ji Rui Guang was standing right in front of her! Why was she running?
The two remaining individuals in the space exchanged glances, and although they didn’t immediately clash, the expressions on their faces suddenly quieted down.
Both of them were people in positions of power. Even though in the apocalypse, power struggles and schemes were often shattered by pure strength—sometimes they couldn’t even fully determine the outcome of a battle—it didn’t mean many people didn’t understand this.
Ultimately, whether it was the previous schemes of power or the strength in the apocalypse, it all revolved around one thing.
