This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chapter 253: The Elimination Round Ends (3)

Puchi!

Accompanied by a blood-red light, a severed arm holding a sharp knife soared into the air.

“What?”

Old Eight suddenly raised his head and saw Chen Yu expressionlessly putting away his long sword above the exotic beast’s corpse.

Duan Ye, who was at the side, also immediately came back to his senses. He somersaulted backward a few times in a row, putting a safe distance between him and Old Eight.

“Where’s your instant-cast martial art?” Chen Yu asked Duan Ye.

“F*ck, how could I have expected him to suddenly make a move? Even instant-cast requires time.”

After saying that, Duan Ye pressed his palms together and exploded with energy. He looked at Old Eight with killing intent overflowing from his eyes. “Why are you attacking me?”

Old Eight did not answer. Instead, he looked at Chen Yu with a strange expression.

Chen Yu also looked at him expressionlessly. “You’re not Old Eight.”

Ka ka…

Old Eight’s neck was crooked, and his eyes were wide open. Saliva began to flow out of his mouth. “Of course I’m Old Eight.”

“Looks like you and Brother Jie have been controlled.”

As Chen Yu’s words fell.

A series of loud bangs suddenly erupted from the front of the exotic beast’s corpse.

Brother Jie was sent flying by a kick from Bahuang Yao. Following that, her attacks were like waves, and the overlapping heavy blows completely broke through the opponent’s defense.

“Martial Technique — Bahuang Secret Technique — Whirlwind Dance!”

Bang! Bang! Bang…

Whoosh —

Under the tremendous force, Brother Jie was like a cannonball, drawing a straight line as he heavily landed beside Old Eight.

Dong…

Dust flew into the air..

“Brother Yu.” Bahuang Yao rushed over. “Are you guys okay?”

“We’re fine. How about you?”

“It’s all thanks to your reminder just now. Otherwise, we would’ve really been hit.” The young girl was still in shock.

“In that case… They’ve suspected us for a long time.” In the mud pit, Brother Jie tilted his body and stood up. His eyes were bloodshot. “You, when did you find out?”

“It started from when Ma Li went missing.”

Jumping down from the exotic beast’s corpse, Chen Yu grabbed Brother Jie’s neck with a calm expression. “Both of you were in charge of scouting at the same time as Ma Li. Ma Li went missing, but both of you came back unscathed. At that time, I became suspicious.”

“Maybe we were lucky.”

“I don’t believe in luck, and I don’t like to gamble. In this obviously ambush environment, it’s hard for me to believe that the enemy would let go of these two flanks of yours. Especially on the surface, your strength is stronger than Ma Li’s.”

“Then when were we completely exposed?”

“Starting from when Old Eight needed to go to the toilet.”

Chen Yu’s tone was flat. “Currently, the team is looking for their missing teammates. They are all very tense. Unless they can’t hold it in anymore, anyone with a little EQ would not interrupt the entire team’s progress to go to the toilet at this time. I have also been paying attention to all of you. One minute, it was normal, and the next minute, it can’t be held in anymore. It’s an obvious loophole.”

Old Eight opened his mouth. “Maybe, I suddenly had diarrhea?”

“Martial artists have strong physiques, so they can endure for a long time without eating. And the elimination round lasts for 24 hours, so no martial artist will stop to eat. We didn’t eat, so I’m sure none of you will. Since you didn’t eat, how did you have diarrhea?”

As they spoke, the rest of the people gathered around and stared at Brother Jie and Old Eight with hostility.

“Chen Yu, those aren’t Brother Jie and Old Eight.” The senior who was the hostage said with a worried expression, “They’re being controlled.”

“En.” Chen Yu nodded.

“Hehehe…”

Old Eight laughed strangely, “As expected of a man who collected hundreds of fluorescent beads. Isn’t he smart?”

“Brother Yu, this should be a type of mind control martial art,” Duan Ye said in a deep voice.

“How do we remove it?”

“Just stun it.”

Hearing that, Chen Yu didn’t say any more nonsense. He raised his fists and suddenly teleported behind the two of them, striking out with force!

Bang! Bang!

Brother Jie and Old Eight rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

“Bandage Old Eight’s broken limbs. Don’t let it bleed too much.”

“Okay.” Bahuang Yao took out a special hemostatic agent and bandage from her backpack and wound it around Old Eight’s wound. “It’s done.”

“Okay.”

Nodding, Chen Yu burned his energy and jumped onto the exotic beast’s corpse. He looked around and said, “Come out. There’s only half an hour left after the elimination round. There’s no point in continuing to play.”

After saying this, he paused for about a minute.

More than a dozen people surrounded them from all directions. All of them had unfriendly expressions.

The leader was a one-eyed young man wearing a Japanese samurai uniform. Around his body, there were five or six floating cameras.

“Brother Yu, he’s a student of Japan’s Jingdong University,” Duan Ye said.

Chen Yu did not respond. He just quietly looked at the one-eyed young man. After a long time, he asked, “Did you catch Ma Li?”

“I did.” The one-eyed young man’s voice was hoarse.

“Is she dead?”

“There are so many cameras. Can I kill her?”

“What about the others?”

“They’re hanging on a tree.”

“En…” Chen Yu replied through his throat. He spread his hands and said, “He’s pretty good. He’s very particular. When we fight later, I’ll show him some mercy. You guys don’t have to worry about breaking your arms and legs.”

“Don’t be rash.” The one-eyed young man’s expression was serious. He said in stiff Chinese, “You guys can’t beat me. Other than Bahuang Yi, I’m probably the strongest fighter in the entire competition. Hand over the fluorescent beads and you guys can leave.”

Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao looked at each other.

Duan Ye said, “Brother Yu, another acting tough king has come.”

“Choke…”

The one-eyed youth slowly pulled out the katana at his waist. He held the katana with both hands, spread his legs, and bent his knees as he squatted on the spot.

He looked at Chen Yu quietly in an extremely professional middle position.

“Brother Yu…” Bahuang Yao lowered her voice. “This is a sword master.”

Chen Yu: “Isn’t he using a saber?”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“Martial arts are ruthless. The sword has no eyes.” The young man in the warrior suit said mechanically, “Once you decide to make a move, life and death are no longer in your control.”

“You’re saying this for the camera, right?”

“I’m also saying it for you. Hand over the bead, and the tragedy that follows will not happen.”

“Tsk tsk.” Chen Yu sneered and gave Duan Ye a concealed look.

Duan Ye nodded slightly, and with a thought.

Kacha!

A spatial crack suddenly opened.

Dang!

However, the one-eyed young man only swung his saber half a time before splitting the crack into two.

His entire body was unharmed…

Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and the others’ pupils immediately contracted for a moment.

“Sneak attack, low-tier.”

The one-eyed youth’s stiff expression gradually revealed a terrifying murderous aura. “I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the fluorescent beads, or swords will lose their eyes.”

Turning his head to look at Duan Ye, Chen Yu asked, “Can spatial martial arts be split open?”

“Space can only be split open by space itself.”

“Sweep until you die…”

“Brother Yu, this person isn’t simple. Why don’t we admit defeat?” Duan Ye suggested.

Chen Yu: “???”

Duan Ye: “Prizes and such, if they’re gone, they’re gone. Think about it. So what if it’s good outside? When you die of old age, even if you kick your legs, won’t you have nothing? As a person, you have to be magnanimous.”

Chen Yu: “…”

Clang!

After a moment of silence, he suddenly pulled out his long sword.

Duan Ye was shocked. Thinking that he was about to be beaten, he hurriedly retreated four or five steps.

But in the next moment, Chen Yu charged straight at the one-eyed young man.

Bang!

Force exploded, and the sword’s edge was sharp.

The distance of dozens of meters disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Martial Art — Leap of Faith!”

Dong!

With the support of martial arts, the speed of Chen Yu’s sword suddenly soared, and he slashed at the one-eyed young man with a murderous aura.

At the same time, the one-eyed young man unleashed a Level 3 burst of strength to deal with the myriad of changes.

Only when the sword wind was within half a meter of him did he raise his wrist and raise his katana to block it.

Dang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal shook one’s eardrums.

The two of them took a few steps back, and their expressions changed.

“…”

“…”

The one-eyed young man: “This is the first weapon that can block my saber head-on.”

Chen Yu said, “Ditto.”

The one-eyed youth: “…”

Chen Yu: “…”

The one-eyed youth said, “What’s your name?”

Chen Yu said, “Wear Steel Plates Every Day. What’s your name?”

The one-eyed youth said, “King Ren.”

In the crowd, Duan Ye could not help but interrupt. “Why don’t you call yourself a wolf?”

“…You.” King Ren sized Chen Yu up for a moment before saying, “You should be the strongest in the team.”

“Not necessarily.” Chen Yu shook his head. “We have an even stronger one here, but it’s only a one-time use.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Huala.

King Ren took out a bag of fluorescent beads from his pocket and threw it on the ground. “Let’s fight one-on-one. The winner takes the spoils of war.”

“One-on-one?” Chen Yu’s gaze swept across the surrounding enemies and then looked at his own team’s configuration.

Ma Li was missing.

Brother Jie was unconscious.

Other than Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao, they were all the underlings of the team.

It was okay to load beads and scoop up feces, but if they really fought, they would only end up with their heads…

After thinking for a while, Chen Yu nodded. “Sure. How do we fight?”

“One side concedes. Or…” King Red slowly raised his saber with both hands. “One side dies.”

Chen Yu also raised his long sword. “No problem.”

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

The hover cameras from both sides flew over and started shooting from all angles, broadcasting the scene to the global audience.

“Brother Yu, be careful.” Duan Ye’s voice was low.

“Okay.”

“If you die, Yao Zi and I will be widowed.”

Chen Yu: “…”

Pa!

Bahuang Yao’s face turned red, and she kicked Duan Ye’s heel in embarrassment.

Duan Ye: “Oh…”

“Can we start?” King Red asked expressionlessly.

“Come.” Chen Yu hooked his finger.

“…”

“…”

The scene quieted down.

Everyone held their breath and focused. Only the buzzing sound of the floating camera was left…

One second.

Three seconds.

Ten seconds…

Hu…

A gust of autumn wind blew past, and yellow leaves fell.

It was also at this moment that both of them moved at the same time, fiercely thrusting their swords out!

Clang!

Accompanied by sparks flying in all directions, King Ren, who possessed swordsmanship, keenly sensed the change in the center of gravity of the power transfer. He hooked his wrist with force and easily blocked the sword.

Then, the sword went straight for Chen Yu’s face!

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu decisively flashed and teleported behind his opponent, launching a sweeping army.

Clang!

However, he was blocked by King Ren, who had a backup plan.

“It’s indeed a spatial dodging martial skill.” King Ren narrowed his one eye. “Amazing. This martial skill… Is amazing.”

“…”

“Brother Yu is no match for him.” Duan Ye’s expression was serious. “He fell into a disadvantageous position at the start.”

“Yes, the difference in strength is too big.” Bahuang Yao looked worried. “The opponent is a Level 3 martial artist. Although his physique isn’t very outstanding, the speed of his blade is too fast. He is also a sword master.”

“The main thing is still that blade. This is the first time that a weapon can block Brother Yu’s sword. This shows Brother Yu’s sword skill level… Oh right, he doesn’t have sword skill level…”

“Then what should we do?” The young girl was worried.

“Once Brother Yu is in danger, we’ll make a move,” Duan Ye whispered into Bahuang Yao’s ear.

“No… didn’t they say one-on-one?”

“Yes, 100 million against one. We’ve only sent three people, and we’ve lost over 90 million people.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang…

In the face-to-face battle, as the number of exchanges increased, the pressure on Chen Yu also increased at the same time.

He could see that his opponent had not used his full strength at all.

It was just a simple sword technique, but when he parried it, he was already in a perilous situation.

If he used a martial technique, he might be defeated in an instant…

‘Should I use Enlightenment…’

Chen Yu’s heart was in a dilemma.

There was still half an hour before the end of the competition. Once the Pandora’s box was released, something might happen.

“What a waste.”

King Ren forced Chen Yu back with one strike and stopped. “What a waste.”

Chen Yu came back to his senses and frowned. “What a waste?”

“Your sword. It’s too wasteful in your hands. You don’t know anything about swords.”

Lowering his head and looking at the slender sword, Chen Yu subconsciously touched the motherboard behind him. “She’s not my sword.”

“Let’s end it here. That’s enough.”

King Ren brandished his saber and put it back into its scabbard. Then, his body slightly paused, and the scabbard that had its blade facing upwards slightly trembled.

“Martial Technique — Joint Strike!”

Swoosh!

It was as if the world suddenly darkened, leaving only a light shadow that stretched out endlessly.

Chen Yu’s pupils constricted, and he instinctively wanted to use Flash.

But in the next moment, a spatial crack appeared out of thin air in front of King Ren…

Crack!

Clang!

In order to protect himself, the blade that was originally slashing at Chen Yu immediately changed direction and split open the crack.

King Ren turned his head abruptly and stared at Duan Ye. “Despicable!”

Duan Ye was puzzled. “Baby?”

Plop!

King Ren put away his katana in the air and somersaulted three times in a row to put some distance between him and Chen Yu. “You guys broke the contract.”

Chen Yu looked at Duan Ye.

Duan Ye raised both of his hands. “Sorry, instinct, I couldn’t control it…”

“Brother Yu, let’s attack together.” Bahuang Yao released her strength and stood beside Chen Yu in a flash.

Chen Yu stood where he was and thought for a moment before nodding.

Obviously, without the advantage of his weapon, with his current Level 1.9 strength, it would be very difficult for him to defeat this Japanese.

Changing from a one-on-one to a team battle was the most rational choice at the moment.

“Ha… Hehehe…”

Seeing this scene, King Ren laughed coldly. He extended his left hand and covered his blindfold. “Actually, my weakest point is one-on-one. Since I chose to fight in a free-for-all, then… Don’t blame me for what happens next.”

With that, his fingers tensed up, and his muscles stiffened. It was as if he had used all the strength in his body to slowly pull down his blindfold.

A pure black eyeball was revealed…

The surrounding Japanese students all took a few steps back in fear.

“This is…”

Duan Ye’s expression changed, and he roared, “Everyone, don’t look at his right eye!”

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Chen Yu and Bahuang Yao, looked over and observed King Ren’s right eye..

King Ren: “…”

Duan Ye: “…”

“…Martial Art — Eye-Bloodline Technique — Closure!”

The pupils of the eleven people in the group dilated as they were all hit…

…

“It’s over.”

King Ren stood up and pushed back his blindfold.

After enduring the intense headache for a while, he looked at Chen Yu and the others in front of him.

He saw that everyone had expressions of extreme pain.

Some of their faces were distorted…

Some of them were crying non-stop…

Some of them were screaming…

Some of them were desperate as if they were dead…

“Closure, a rather high-level spiritual attack. It can make people recall the most painful memories of their lives in their consciousness, and it will continue to deepen until their soul collapses.”

“After the spiritual collapse, you can take over the second-stage pupil technique and complete the spiritual control…”

“Just like those two trash.”

Glancing at Brother Jie and Old Eight who was still unconscious, King Ren stood where he was and waited quietly.

He could not move while the ocular technique was in progress.

Moreover, no one else could suddenly appear around the ‘victim’. Otherwise, due to the ‘dreamer’ principle, it would interfere with the ocular technique and cause the ‘victim’ to wake up.

“Oh~?”

However, just as King Ren was filled with satisfaction and waiting for victory…

A faint moan of comfort came from the crowd.

King Ren: “?”

He frowned and looked over when he heard the sound. He realized that the person who made the sound was Chen Yu.

He saw that the other party’s pained expression… did not seem to be that pained…

“Oh~?”

Chen Yu closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. “Sisters, be gentler…”

King Ren: “??”

“Don’t… Don’t lick it, I can’t stand it… ?”

King Ren: “???”
