Chapter 35: Desperate Situation?

At first, Bai Zhan was being suppressed by Kamiyu’s tactics, nearly having the durability of his Legendary Armor broken, just as she was about to go in for the kill.

Zhong Hao’s Passive Skill Danger Perception activated, foreseeing an extremely powerful danger about to descend upon them.

He shouted a warning: “Scatter, now!”

Bai Zhan took off his overcoat, not even bothering to store it away, tossing it to the ground like trash.

Beneath the coat, he revealed a suit of pitch-black chainmail.

He arrogantly introduced his equipment: “Country bumpkins, didn’t expect this, did you? I have another piece of defensive equipment, and its tier is Ancestral Legendary.”

Kamiyu looked at Bai Zhan in her mind as if he were a fool. What normal person would wear higher-tier armor underneath and lower-tier defensive equipment on the outside?

What was the purpose of doing that?

Aside from flexing, she couldn’t think of any practical benefit.

Bai Zhan raised an eyebrow, one eye wide open, the other squinting, and continued: “This armor of mine is called 【Razor Armor】, embedded with a 100% Damage Reflect skill.

Whatever damage you deal to me will be reflected right back at you.

Come on then, let’s hurt each other. Didn’t you want to kill me? Let’s see how you die now.”

Kamiyu shook her head inwardly. Truly, villains die from talking too much. Although your equipment looks intimidating, by actively revealing information, I still have to thank you for the explanation—it’ll save me from taking unnecessary damage.

Both Zhong Hao and Brother Dong wore grave expressions, Brother Dong’s face turning pale.

Zhong Hao thought anxiously: “Isn’t this just bullying us newcomer players for not having decent armor? 100% Damage Reflect—how are we supposed to fight this? We’re done for, done for.”

Brother Dong was so frightened he kept backing away, thinking: How can we attack now? Every hit we land will hurt us in return.

If it reflected 20% to 30% of the damage, it might be manageable, but if we deliver a lethal blow to Bai Zhan and fail to kill him, the one dying would be ourselves.

Is this the power of Ancestral Legendary Tier equipment?

What’s going on? Why is the Black Sphere Game so difficult? Everyone’s hacks are terrifyingly strong.

Only Jack remained as steady as Mount Tai, standing firmly in place, watching Bai Zhan warily.

Xu Liwen looked at the pink-haired Kamiyu, who was still calmly aiming at Bai Zhan, and said with both admiration and regret: “You’ve already achieved something incredible by breaking through Bai Zhan’s first layer of defense.

You’ve accomplished what over a hundred deceased experts and veteran players before you couldn’t. To exaggerate a bit, it could be called a ‘Divine Miracle.’

But, unfortunately, they’ve encountered the notorious Bai Zhan, whom other players call the 【Player Killer】.”

When Xu Liwen saw Bai Zhan take off his overcoat and reveal the Razor Armor, she knew the outcome was decided. There was only one ending for these four players.

The same fate as those over a hundred players before them.

That is, death.

In Xu Liwen’s understanding, the Black Sphere Game had existed for a long time and had become popular underground.

By the time Xu Liwen stumbled into the Black Sphere Game, it was already at a relatively late stage. Later, after winning the game and joining the authorities, two or three years had passed.

Within the scope of her permissions, she learned that, up to now, there were roughly 1,000 players still alive nationwide in the Black Sphere Game.

Based on power factions, there are players like herself and Bai Zhan who have joined the official side;

There are players who organize themselves into “Squads,” “Clubs,” or “Guilds”;

And there are lone wolf players who join no organization at all.

To put it nicely, Xu Liwen is an official player, working for the authorities, but in reality, they are just the claws and hounds of the official faction.

As for Bai Zhan, he is currently the number one official player in the country, possessing strength on par with the top players of the major regions.

This is because, relying on his talent, he snatched powerful equipment and items from other players during the phase when newcomers were gearing up.

After amassing wealth through robbery, he became the player he is today, possessing many Ancestral Legendary Weapons and earning the title of 【Player Killer】.

Xu Liwen’s eyelids twitched, and she spoke with envy and jealousy in her heart: “You should know, Ancestral Legendary Weapons are the weapons of top-tier experts, at the level of Squad Captains.”

“So far, there are less than twenty Ancestral Legendary Weapons in the entire country combined, and he alone possesses three of them. How are the four of them supposed to fight this?”

Xu Liwen didn’t know what the upcoming battle would be like, but she already knew the outcome: the complete annihilation of all four, and Zhang Wei, whom their official side had detained, would be the sole victor of this round of the Black Sphere Game.

Back on the battlefield.

Jack wasn’t buying Bai Zhan’s act at all. Bai Zhan’s provocation, on the contrary, greatly intensified Jack’s fighting spirit.

Jack directly launched a fierce front kick straight at Bai Zhan.

With a “Whoosh.”

The powerful gust from the kick made Bai Zhan’s hedgehog hairdo tremble.

The fierce kick instantly sent Bai Zhan flying.

Bai Zhan was thrown back over ten meters.

“Ohh.” The special forces members surrounding them from a distance let out exclamations of surprise.

Xu Liwen raised her eyebrows. This muscular man really dared to attack Bai Zhan. Having witnessed his Defense Power herself, could this person really win? She doubted it in her heart.

Brother Dong shouted: “There’s a chance!”

Meanwhile, Zhong Hao remained frowning deeply, his Passive Skill continuously sounding alarms.

“Ha, I didn’t expect there really was a fool not afraid of death daring to attack me. Even a defensive class character will still have their Defense broken under my Razor Armor.” Bai Zhan stood up as if nothing had happened, brushing the dust off his clothes.

“What?” Brother Dong said in shock.

Through her scope, Kamiyu saw Jack’s entire right leg bleeding profusely, large amounts of blood seeping out from his skin, flowing all over the ground.

But Jack remained unmoved as a mountain, standing firmly in place as if nothing was wrong.

“Hahahaha, suffer! Don’t hold back, scream, scream now!” Bai Zhan revealed a ferocious expression like a sadist.

“My Razor Armor isn’t called that for nothing. The pain caused by its Damage Reflect effect is like ten thousand razors scraping across the body, more agonizing than death by a thousand cuts.”

“Hahahahaha.” Bai Zhan laughed maniacally.

“What do we do? Even Jack, a Tank class with extremely strong Defense, can’t withstand the Damage Reflect.” Brother Dong despairingly threw down the Katana in his hand and knelt on the ground.

Zhong Hao’s face was as dark as ink. His Passive Skill kept warning him, but what use was that? Now, the four of them had no means of Attack left.

Zhong Hao thought to himself: “This Thorns Armor is truly too shameless. For the four of us, it’s equivalent to disabling any means of Attack.”

Kamiyu did not give up, her finger still resting on the trigger.

Her mind raced, thoughts swirling incessantly.

She noticed that Jack’s mouth hadn’t moved just now.

That meant Jack hadn’t activated a Skill earlier—he had attacked with a basic strike.

Wait a moment—Jack also possessed the Thorns Reflection Skill, and she had the Delayed Implosion Bullet.

Perhaps she could fight her way out of this.
