Chapter 1678 - 425: Flawed Acting

Chapter 1678: Chapter 425: Flawed Acting

Seeing Yang Xiu snatched away by the purple giant hand, falling into the encirclement of the Player Clan.

The hearts of the Life Soul Squad seemed to freeze instantly.

"Boss!"

Black Snake shouted a heart-wrenching call, losing all rationality at that moment.

Other members of the Life Soul Squad were the same.

They knew very well what it meant to rush into the Player Clan’s encirclement.

It was a path of certain death, far more dangerous than confronting the Bengshan Team directly.

But they knew even more clearly, the boss was the soul of the Life Soul Team, the leader who led them out of one Trial Hell after another.

If they lost him, even if they survived today by luck.

Eventually, they would be torn apart by other coveting teams in the brutal Death City.

A future without the boss offered no hope.

Emotional bonds and the despair of reality intertwined, transforming into a sorrowful heroism pressing forward fearlessly.

"Save the boss!" Stone Statue let out a muffled roar, lifting the massive Tower Shield single-handedly, charging like a frenzied rhinoceros towards the impenetrable human wall.

"Kill!" Power Barbarian’s eyes were blood-red, draining the last of his energy, following Stone Statue to charge into the Player Corps.

Eagle Head, Black Snake, Star Shifting, Roar... At this moment, the Life Soul Squad chose to live by facing death.

For their only future, none chose to retreat.

Facing this group of Life Soul Squad rushing like moths to a flame, the voice channel within the players was chaotic.

"Ah? Are these NPCs this tough? Aren’t they just looking to die, just charging like that? What should I do?"

"Got knocked slightly, instinctively activated my Petrification Attribute, bouncing that shield guy away, scared me into turning it off right away, out of reflex, really worried about accidentally killing him."

"That beautiful girl is so fierce, jumped over holding a Bone Spear aimed at my head and started attacking, tapping my head, but the damage is low, still can’t match my Energy Absorption and Healing."

"Everyone be careful, Boss said this is an act, don’t actually kill them, or Yang will come back and risk our lives."

"Damn, being an actor is really hard, what should I do now, not fight back looks like bad acting, fight back I’m afraid of accidentally killing them, it’s too difficult, I demand a lunchbox."

"Feels like a preschool group from kindergarten just rushed at me, hitting me with inflatable sticks, almost made me laugh."

"When introducing Senior Yang, they said it packed money in a bag at Ah Le, and I wonder why it hasn’t returned for so long, spending two years for a dungeon quest, this dungeon is way too long, does it need to take so long, seeing this beautiful sister suddenly made me understand, the root of Senior Yang’s ’enjoying without forgetting the village’ is here, the reward for the death settlement seems to be far away."

On the surface, players waved weapons, shouting and fighting, fiercely.

In reality, each was holding back, acting with great difficulty.

The chat channel was full of complaints about how fake the acting was, full of flaws.

It’s not about acting skills at all.

They defended the whole time and did not fight back, clearly not intending to kill.

However, these were brothers in the eyes of the old players from Divine Hall Branch, predecessors in the eyes of new players, the ones "Yang Xiu" wanted to protect.

The Divine King had seriously explained the situation before they came.

No matter how awkward the acting, it must continue.

During this time, they cleverly blocked and dodged, creating the illusion of fierce battle, never truly striking to kill.

Like an insurmountable wall, it kept the Life Soul Squad firmly locked outside.

Each time they charged relentlessly, it was like hitting cotton, embodying helpless despair.

In contrast to the "acting showdown" scene on the outer circle.

In the inner circle sealed by players’ flesh and blood, it showcased the most brutal side of the players.

No acting needed here; killing all Bengshan Team members was the only task.

At this moment, a Bengshan Team giant nearly three meters tall and covered in Heavy Armor roared, eyes blood-red in desperation, dark red Energy ripples exploded at its feet, instantly evaporating the nearby snow.

Like an out-of-control war chariot, crushing the earth, it punched towards what seemed a slender player in front.

This punch could collapse a small mountain.

Yet the slender player with bare fists did not dodge, a hint of excited arc on his lips.

He pulled his right arm back, muscles bulging, veins like silhouetted dragons, his fist covered by a surging crimson battle aura.

"Taking damage actively, even evil bosses must call you awesome!"

With that said, he punched out with force, fists collided.

Boom!

Like two meteors crashing, a terrifying explosion, a visible ring-shaped shockwave expanded fiercely from the center of the fists, lifting, shattering snow, rocks within ten meters, and even a few Bengshan team members standing too close.

The grin on the giant’s face froze instantly, turning into extreme suffering.

His fist, along with the entire arm, crumbled like glass starting from the knuckle.

The cracking trend spread along the arm, shoulder blade, chest... His massive body like a ceramic smashed by an invisible giant hammer, instantly covered in cracks.

The Gang Qi infiltrating within the strong man’s body rampaged wantonly, rupturing his veins.

Poof!

A mist of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs exploded from all over his body, he looked down at his disintegrating body, terror still lingering in his eyes.

The next moment he burst, becoming a rain of scattered blood and flesh.
