In fact, Luo Ping himself was even more confused than Wen Zuo and the others. He originally thought that with the addition of another person to the other side, there was absolutely no chance of winning. Who knew that the pressure was getting less and less, and he even had a vague feeling that he could eliminate the other side directly.
But is it possible?
Just as Luo Pan was pondering whether they had some kind of conspiracy, he saw Mo Shuwan's arrow. He was startled and immediately thought that his apparent chance of winning was only because they were plotting something. Thinking of this, he certainly dared not delay any longer. In particular, when he heard Wen Zuo tell Liu Dongcheng and the others to step back, he was immediately terrified.
Damn it! They were definitely plotting something!
Before Wen Zuo could even speak, Luo Ping seized the opportunity to retreat abruptly, disappearing dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.
Chen Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, frowning as he stared at the compass that had retreated into the distance. The wisps of black energy that lingered under his fingernails completely dissipated after Luo Ping was far away. It seemed that he had only just noticed that Luo Ping had run far away. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "I... why did he leave?"
Wen Zuo frowned and looked down at the wound on the back of his hand that was almost completely healed. "I don't know."
Luo Ping originally wanted to observe Wen Zuo and his group further to see what their schemes were, but unexpectedly, a sword aura carrying murderous intent suddenly came from beside him. He himself was a swordsman and immediately sensed the terrifying power of the opponent's sword. Even if it was just sword aura, he would probably have to go all out.
His expression changed instantly. He twirled the longsword in his hand on his phone, preparing to go all out. Suddenly, the scene before him changed. They were back in the square, and the elimination rounds were over.
Luo Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful. That sword strike was very strong, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to meet it. However, he thought that the elimination rounds would probably continue, and he might run into his opponent at any time.
"Damn! Those two guys are too tough to deal with! Humph! But if I use my trump card, I'll definitely be able to take them down one-on-one. Sigh, actually I don't think we need to hide our strength. If we're unlucky and run into a really strong and terrifying opponent, what good will hiding our strength do? We'll still be eliminated, right?"
Everyone remained silent, determined not to give Hua Mo any more topics to discuss. Since they didn't respond, Hua Mo would at most mumble a few more words to himself before stopping.
"Why did the knockout stage end so suddenly? It shouldn't have ended so quickly."
Before Hua Mo could speak, Luo Ping immediately chimed in, "I guess some teams were hiding their strength and just now, when the time was right, they suddenly unleashed their power and eliminated several teams."
"The possibility is very small, right? If they had the ability to eliminate several teams instantly, they wouldn't have waited until now to make their move."
Luo Ping thought of the arrow he had seen earlier and said quietly, "It's really possible. I saw that girl in the team we encountered eliminate an entire team with a single arrow."
The others had been held up by Cheng Hua and Yun Chen, and weren't really aware of what was going on. Upon hearing this, they all showed expressions of surprise. "One arrow eliminated an entire team? Are you sure?"
“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and he seemed quite relaxed.” After saying that, Luo Ping couldn’t help but frown. “I think their team might be from the Western Continent.”
Passengers from the larger world possess a unique advantage: their strength is already formidable. From the moment they board the bus, they are roughly on par with passengers from the middle-level worlds who have already honed their skills on the bus through several mission worlds. This is an insurmountable gap between them.
Hua Mu shook her head. "Impossible. I've inquired, and the Western Continent Great World stopped operating time-travel buses a long time ago."
Apart from Hua Mo, all the other passengers in the group turned to look at Hua Mu, their eyes filled with questions. They obviously wanted to know where she had found out about this information, since such information was considered confidential.
Hua Mu pretended not to see the looks from her teammates. "Next time you run into them, be careful and avoid them if you can."
If they are still alive.
Hua Mo couldn't find a way to interject, and became somewhat frustrated.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the square, Mo Shuwan's team was reduced to only eight teams after being eliminated, and it's likely that even fewer will remain in the next elimination round.
At this moment, apart from Cheng Hua and Yun Chenjing, who had just had a bit of fun in the competition, Mo Shuwan and the others were surrounding Chen Jiaxu in a corner. They all frowned as they looked at the innocent-looking Chen Jiaxu. After a moment, Wen Zuo spoke first, "Did you feel anything was wrong during the battle just now?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaxu immediately recalled his previous experiences in the competition, but he couldn't find anything strange about it, so he silently shook his head.
Seeing that Wen Zuo's brows seemed to furrow even more, he immediately became nervous. "What's wrong? Did you just discover something? If you discovered something, just tell me. I... I'm fine, I can handle it."
Wen Zuo looked at Chen Jiaxu, about to speak again, but his finger was pulled by Mo Shuwan, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Mo Shuwan squatted down in front of Chen Jiaxu and stretched out one hand. "Take your hand out so I can see it."
Chen Jiaxu quickly stretched out his hand, and then, at Mo Shuwan's instruction, placed it on her hand. "Captain, is there something wrong with my hand?"
"Not yet, don't worry. I'm just confirming my doubts. Now try to imagine the feeling of anger."
Chen Jiaxu immediately did as Mo Shuwan said, then watched in disbelief as a wisp of black energy appeared on his finger. He panicked and was about to speak when his body jolted, and he withdrew his hand. "Captain, I think I've actually benefited from this misfortune. In the previous matches with Liu Dongcheng, I also noticed this black energy on my hand. It should be dark element, which doesn't harm me and even strengthens my body. It's also possible that my transformation isn't complete, and my power isn't corrosive."
