Chapter 1535: Chapter 123: Tang Zheng’s Death

In the chaotic Coliseum, the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, leaving only the dense, lingering smell of blood that won’t dissolve. The circular Barrier trapped everyone as if they were at the bottom of hell, forever unable to touch that azure sky.

There was no wind, no warm and sunny Sunlight, only the scent of death flowing, filling every pore of the survivors!

In this cruel Game, they could only endure passively, bearing endless struggles!

Wei Binbai was filled with regret. He had acted on a subconscious combat response, coupled with the desire to take advantage, for after all, Trojan was full of wounds from infection. Had he known that it still possessed fearsome combat Strength, he wouldn’t have made a move even if it killed him.

"Support!" It was all over no matter what, but as someone with ample Experience, Wei Binbai instantly discarded the wishful thinking from his mind and focused on escaping with all his might.

The green carnivorous plants surged crazily, opening their gaping maws to spray Acid, and like hissing Snakes, they bit at Trojan. Their sharp teeth were incredibly hard, capable of chewing through Steel, and the speed at which they snapped shut even caused the air to rip with sound.

The face of Trojan twisted fiercely, and with a leap, it dodged past the sea of plants. Then, changing direction mid-air in a zigzag pattern, it shot towards Wei Binbai like lightning.

"So fast!" Wei Binbai realized he couldn’t escape and quickly fired his hands, shooting a multitude of Seeds around the stone slabs.

The Seeds embedded themselves into the stone slabs and instantly germinated and grew, creating an ocean of plants that engulfed Wei Binbai, turning the entire Coliseum lush with greenery.

Whoosh, whoosh, dozens of Vines, each a hundred meters long, sprang forth like steel whips, lashing at Trojan.

"Air Ram!"

As Trojan released its Ability, the air seemed to flow violently like clouds on the horizon, forming visible White Turbulence. In front of it, the turbulence condensed into a spindle-shaped spike, just like a Warship’s Ram, and it brutally plowed into the sea of plants.

Splintered Vines flew about, and green liquids splashed chaotically.

The Vines struck out, and Trojan inhaled sharply, its chest swelling like a Balloon then compressing and deflating. It burst forth a scorching, tumbling red flame.

The plants withered in an instant, turning into black ash that flew haphazardly with the agitated currents.

"Support, help!" Wei Binbai was so shocked that his eyes almost burst out of their sockets, and amidst his loud shouts, he abandoned the attack and went into full Defense.

Dozens of Vines shot out and entwined rapidly, wrapping Wei Binbai up like a silkworm spinning a Cocoon.

"Insignificant Skills!"

Trojan spat out flames again, swallowing the plant Cocoon. In a mere blink of an eye, it was charred black.

The Time-space Blackfish rushed to Trojan’s side, biting fiercely, only to be flung away with an arm swing, getting a harsh smack on the head that scattered it to pieces.

Ruan Feifei’s thunder struck out, and just as it was about to hit Trojan, it was intercepted by a dozen flames, bursting forth like the Sun’s Solar Corona, stopping them in their tracks.

Bai Guo, now invisible, tried to sneak attack but was stopped by a female Musketeer who suddenly appeared.

Wei Binbai, who was strong enough to break through ten Natural Stupids, was beaten without any power to retaliate. Bai Guo getting close would surely be finished in a single encounter.

"Dong Zixuan, don’t make a move," Dantai advised.

The policewoman released her Ability, and the ground cracked open as lava spewed, pouring over Trojan, sadly not inflicting any damage but instead allowing it to swallow the magma whole, replenishing its own firepower.

Pang Meiqin didn’t act rashly, looking for Trojan’s weaknesses, while Lu Fan’s sand dust proved too weak, frustrating her to the point of nearly grinding her teeth to powder.

Jiang Xiuming and Dantai fired their Psychic Storm at maximum power, but seeing it barely disturbed Trojan, they felt as if a heavy stone was weighing on their hearts, oppressively heavy.

Xu Biyun’s puppet had just solidified by Trojan’s side when it was set ablaze by the flames erupting from it, turning into a puddle of mush.

Yu Deye went Full firepower, not a single Bullet missing Trojan’s head. The bullets hit the flames, creating vortexes, but still failing to break through the defense.

Mu Nianqi, armed with the Witch’s Blade, got close; she and Wei Binbai were Combat mates, and she couldn’t bear to watch him die.

Tang Zheng and Dantai exchanged glances and gave up observing the Enemy’s Killing Methods, attacking with full force. The opponent was too strong; by the time it revealed all its strength, the Warhammer Team would have been exterminated.

Ai Yixin was still distracted, staring at the Corpse of Sha Ou, somewhat out of it.

"To die just like that, it’s actually that easy to die." Ai Yixin thought of the husband who had been killed by Sha Ou, as well as the unborn child who had not had the chance to be born, and as she gazed at his disfigured Corpse, she felt satisfied—the wicked had finally met their fate.

The wife revealed an indescribable smile, then suddenly felt it was too easy on him. Her Points were almost at twenty thousand; she thought of reviving Chu Baichuan after collecting them, letting her husband handle it personally to settle this score.

"Forget it, it’s all over now!" Ai Yixin’s mind was a mess, completely unaware of the nearby battle, even as Tang Zheng called out several times, she remained distracted.

Trojan tore through the Vine cocoon, looking at the helpless Wei Binbai with a sinister smile.

"Ant, die!" Trojan’s hands, wrapped in flames, reached for Wei Binbai, as the airflow gathered behind him, blocking his escape.

"Get away!" screamed Wei Binbai in terror, letting out his strongest attack under the press of death. Vines shot towards Trojan, intending to tear it apart.

Wei Binbai’s skin began to turn plant-like, a vibrant green. Red vines burst out from his chest and limbs, finally breaking through the Trojan’s defenses and biting into its flesh.

The plants devoured the blood, swelling into blisters that funneled nutrients to Wei Binbai.

"This is a symbiote. If you kill me, you’ll die too," Wei Binbai spat blood, locking eyes with the Trojan, growling through gritted teeth. It was his trump card and the reason he had managed to escape last time.

"Mu Nianqi, take over!" Tang Zheng pulled out the Doctor’s heart and tossed it to Queen Mu. This thing was a 3S-grade healing wonder. Just one bite could fully restore life energy and regenerate limbs.

Mu Nianqi also knew the urgency of the situation and swallowed her pride. With a bite of the pulsating heart, her combat strength recovered.

Tang Zheng bit into a Frozen Lizard, passing a piece to Gu Xueqi, "Give it to Qin Yan and the Old Soldier, bring them out to fight."

With the battle reaching a critical point, even severely wounded, Tang Zheng needed them to fight.

The Trojan revealed a mocking smile. It transformed into a flaming arrow, piercing through Wei Binbai.

Wei Binbai’s smile froze; he looked down at the gaping hole in his chest, and then flames engulfed him, reducing him to ash.

In the Coliseum, a semi-circular black halo was Tao Ran’s Sighing Barrier, also a crowd-control Ability. The Trojan, turning around without wasting a moment, charged at her.

"Don’t be afraid. This guy is on the verge of death," Dantai guessed the Trojan’s trembling body was concealing near-fatal injuries.

"Even if I die, I can drag you all to hell with me." A fiery Trojan appeared before Black Long Straight, about to shoot through her when a gravity field pressed down, skewing its path downward with a loud bang.

The Time-space Blackfish didn’t even get the chance to serve as a meat shield before being easily scattered.

"Am I dying?" Black Long Straight, who lived her life always in perils, thought she had no regrets in this world. But at her moment of death, her gaze turned to Tang Zheng.

"If only I had confessed to him!" Tao Ran cried, unable to bear the thought of leaving Tang Zheng, longing for his care.

"What are you thinking? Dodge!"

Expecting death, Tao Ran instinctively closed her eyes against the heat of the Trojan’s flames. Upon hearing this anxious shout, she opened her eyes to see Tang Zheng’s towering figure like a mountain rampart, shielding her.

The flame arrow struck Tang Zheng, shattering his armor, melting his Protective Clothing, charring his chest black and emitting a sizzling sound like cooking meat.

Boom, coughing up blood, Tang Zheng was flung backward by the arrow’s impact, like he was struck by a Siege Hammer, tumbling through the air.

Tao Ran tried to catch Tang Zheng but upon reaching out realized he was like a fired cannon shell. Black Long Straight couldn’t absorb the force; her arms fractured, and she tumbled out with him, ending up bloodied and battered.

Tang Zheng had fought until now, repeatedly unleashing his ultimate ability, was like a bow stretched to its limit. Had it not been for the prior mitochondrial alteration, he would have already fallen. But this time, he reached his limit.

"Tang Zheng!" The group members cried out in shock, rushing to his aid.

"The Group Leader?" As soon as the survivors made their move, the Trojan guessed Tang Zheng’s identity, ecstatic that killing the Group Leader typically leads to the team’s collapse.

"Looks like I’m really going to die here!" Vitality draining, Tang Zheng could no longer maintain his armor; he grabbed Tao Ran with one hand and tossed her aside.

The War General appeared in front of Tang Zheng but was directly pierced by the flame arrow. The Trojan reformed into a humanoid shape, his hand knife cutting towards Tang Zheng’s head.

"Don’t!" Li Xinlan screamed hysterically. Nuclear Winter Stars burst forth, freezing the entire Coliseum. A massive star formed of ice appeared in the sky, hurtling down toward the Trojan.

This was the matron’s ultimate ability, summoning the coldest Ice Core Comet from the cosmos to strike the target, obliterating any life form upon impact.

Pang Meiqin shot towards the Trojan, but before the Ferocious Bird’s cry could even reach him, she was repelled.

Thud, the Trojan’s hand knife changed direction, piercing through Tang Zheng’s heart.

"Move... away!" Tang Zheng expelled a mouthful of blood, using his last bit of strength to release a gravity field, grabbing hold of the Trojan.

"Bai Guo, get back, Tang Zheng is going to self-destruct!" As soon as Dantai’s voice fell, a cataclysmic explosion swept through the entire Coliseum. Roman Stone Pillars snapped, constantly collapsing, and the floor was shaved off by more than two meters. Those flying stones were tremendously powerful.

Li Huiwen was hit, suffering fractures and internal injuries, collapsing on the ground, unconscious from the pain.

A wave of sorrow permeated the Coliseum. Li Xinlan frantically looked around, trying to find Tang Zheng, but not even a shred of flesh could be seen.

"Uncle!" Lu Fan slumped to the ground, crying his heart out.

"That was a powerful blast!" Yu Deye spat out a mouthful of blood, thinking to himself that Tang Zheng was truly ruthless. A Group Leader who would go to such lengths for his team members was a rarity.

"What did you say?" Pang Meiqin and Li Xinlan turned to Yu Deye in unison, their voices in harmony, wishing they could kill him on the spot.

"I apologize!" Yu Deye quickly raised his hands; he didn’t want to provoke women who had lost their reason.

"Too naive. Did you really think that kind of self-destruction could kill me?" The infected Trojan’s voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears, akin to a thunderclap. (To be continued. If you enjoy this book, please vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
