Deserted by All
[Audience Expectation Value +3]
[Current Expectation Value: 63%]
The embers of the flames burned on the two of them. Beneath their miserable appearances, two pairs of angry gazes like demon gods descended upon this level!
Scorched black smoke rose from the flame-spewing devices under their feet. The person who fell into the "Red Flame Purgatory" together with them just now had already been used by them as a stepping stone, remaining forever at the very bottom.
Tu Tian and Fudi's chests heaved violently. Two violent Fifth-Tier Auras filled every corner of the surroundings, making everyone present turn pale and incomparably terrified!
"Who... was it?"
Fudi let out a low growl and forcefully stomped on the ground. The concussive force directly shattered all the mailboxes into pieces, and fluttering paper pages scattered in the air, silently falling back to the ground...
Tu Tian's gaze swept across the feet of each of them, and his breathing instantly became heavy.
Those folk experts who were still fawning over them just now, and even the Dragon-Strangling Warriors who came a long way with them, subconsciously avoided his eyes and fell into silence.
"... Why?" Tu Tian stared fixedly at those three Dragon-Strangling Warriors, "Even you guys betrayed me?!"
Tu Tian could accept the malice of those strangers, and could also endure the betrayal of fawners, but he didn't understand why, as fellow Dragon-Strangling Warriors, the three of them still specifically targeted him.
"I... didn't... I just now..."
The three Dragon-Strangling Warriors subconsciously took half a step back, their faces incomparably pale.
In fact, they themselves also didn't know why they wrote Tu Tian and Fudi during the voting just now... Just now they were like being dazzled by something, muddle-headedly making the deepest choice in their hearts. Now recalling it, their backs had already broken out in a cold sweat.
They only remembered that just now the scarlet light was flickering around, and the urgency brought by the massive countdown almost suffocated them. At that moment, their brains seemed to be blank... All the jealousy and envy in their hearts erupted like a blowout, briefly suppressing their rationality in the dimness, so much so that they forgot this was just a trial.
Even if they voted Tu Tian and Fudi out, they wouldn't really die. When they leave here, how should they face the two? How to face the questioning of the Dragon-Strangling Warriors??
Almost everyone else present had the same thought. Right now, seeing that they were about to break through the second level, they were still the fastest batch in the Six Palaces. That is to say, they all had a very high possibility of coming into contact with the [Privilege]... And everyone knew clearly in their hearts that if the [Privilege] appeared, they couldn't snatch it from Tu Tian and Fudi.
So the best method naturally was to take the opportunity of the second level to get rid of these two greatest threats. This way, everyone would have an equal chance to compete for the [Privilege]!
"Very good... You guys, are all very good..."
Tu Tian's fists clenched tightly. Anger had already shrouded his eyes, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
They who were surrounded like the moon by the stars just now, suddenly became Deserted by All. These two "Naive Youths" who had cultivated in the Dragon-Strangling Warriors since childhood and hadn't really experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, tasted this flavor for the first time... Unprecedented Killing Intent filled their chests.
"Kill them all." Fudi spoke chillingly. "We don't need these people. Keeping them will only backstab us."
As his voice fell, Tu Tian and Fudi struck out simultaneously!
Two Fifth-Tier Auras erupted with a bang. In such a narrow space, the crowd simply had nowhere to escape. Absolute strength represented absolute destruction, beginning to crazily slaughter the participants who chose this path!
Especially those three betraying Dragon-Strangling Warriors, they were smashed into meat paste by the two as if venting their anger. It was unknown how much effort those Path of the Physicians would have to spend to repair their bodies... But to Tu Tian and Fudi, they really wanted to kill people.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere in the passage, and one corpse after another fell to the ground. In just a few dozen seconds, the two had almost killed all the participants.
Ultimately, Tu Tian slowly stopped his footsteps in front of a corner.
Shrinking in the corner was a pale-faced young girl, exactly that Path of the Physician who had treated Tu Tian earlier... She pursed her lips, looking somewhat timidly yet stubbornly at Tu Tian's eyes.
On the ground in front of her was a paper page entirely different from everyone else's.
"03, 08, 13."
She was the only person present who believed in Tu Tian and followed him in writing the same numbers.
Tu Tian, who had just finished venting the anger in his heart, saw the young girl's sincere eyes, and his heart stirred slightly... He hadn't expected that the other participants, and even the elder brothers he once respected, had betrayed him, but this young girl hadn't.
"You..." Tu Tian opened his mouth hesitantly, as if wanting to say something.
"You can kill me... If you are not at ease." That young girl lowered her head, seeming to have already prepared herself to accept death. "But on account of me treating you just now, please be gentler when striking... I'm afraid of pain."
Tu Tian was stunned.
Fudi on the side carried the blood-stained rake. After finishing killing everyone else, he walked straight towards the young girl, Killing Intent still flickering in his eyes.
"Wait!" Tu Tian reached out and stopped him. "She didn't betray me."
"She didn't betray you now, it doesn't mean she won't in the future. Bringing her along is ultimately a hidden danger." Fudi's voice was incomparably cold. In his hand, he was currently carrying the head of that woman whom he had been Kneading in his palm just now.
"No!"
Tu Tian directly protected the young girl behind him and said firmly, "You can't kill her... She chose to believe in me, at least, I have to bring her safely out of the Dark Palace."
Fudi frowned at Tu Tian. The two just stared at each other in the deathly silence for a long time. Fudi still coldly snorted and put away the rake in his hand.
"Suit yourself."
As a hidden road opened by the wall, Fudi turned around and walked towards there.
The young girl behind Tu Tian finally relaxed, as if losing all her strength, letting out a long sigh like escaping a calamity... She finally managed to move her footsteps, following behind Tu Tian, and the three of them walked together towards the third level.
"Thank you." After hesitating for a long time, the young girl still trotted to keep up with Tu Tian's pace, her eyes as clear and sincere as autumn water. "Rest assured, I truly have no malice towards you... Time will testify for me."
Seeing those eyes, Tu Tian's voice unconsciously became somewhat gentler,
"Don't be afraid. Since you chose to believe in me, I will protect you to the end."
"... Mm."
Fudi walked alone at the very front. He glanced back at the two walking shoulder to shoulder behind him, a flash of disdain passing through his eyes.
The three just traveled through the dim passage for a long time, and finally arrived in front of a tightly shut large door. Seeing this door, Tu Tian and Fudi's eyes both lit up. Just as they were about to push it open, a noticeboard hung down with a bang from the mechanism above!
After seeing the words on it clearly, Tu Tian's whole person was stunned in place:
"When this path has only two people surviving, Level Three can be opened."
"[Note: Currently, the progress of the participants on this path is the fastest in the Six Palaces of Qiaohuang]."
