Chapter 454 The Reality of Sequence
Under Nirvana's protection, Xu Si's injuries are being slowly repaired one by one.
However, that's not enough.
He needs more time.
But Mei Lin wouldn't give it to him.
"I'd like to see how long your tortoise shell can hold out." Mei Lin's voice came from outside the formation, carrying a condescending anger.
He's not in a hurry anymore.
The plan had failed, and he had nothing left to lose.
Now, the formation is complete, and Xu Si is trapped inside.
Even the strongest defenses of Nirvana can be breached eventually.
Victory will still belong to him.
His gaze gradually turned cold and sharp, as if he had already decided how to deal with Xu Si.
"Mei Lin!"
Just then, a voice came from the direction of the island in the middle of the lake.
Fu Xiaojian's voice was hoarse and tired.
He stood on the pebble beach at the edge of the island, with Shao Bing, Ta Shan, Lin Zhennan, Su Su, Jiang Li and other key members of the Xinhuo team behind him.
In front of them, there were more than ten figures, some lying down and some kneeling.
Zhao Tiesheng, Fan Gu, Zhong Ling, and the core members of the Bright Car Team who were left on the island by Mei Lin.
Not one was missing; they were all bound, their faces ashen.
"Your men are all here." Fu Xiaojian's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, penetrating the rain and the array barrier to reach Mei Lin's ears.
Catching these people took a lot of his effort, and it was fortunate that he had made plans in advance, otherwise he would have really been caught off guard.
He held a short knife in his hand, the tip of which was pressed against Zhao Tiesheng's throat.
Zhao Tiesheng's sequence energy has been completely sealed by Jiang Li's chain of punishment.
At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary person, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips were moving but he couldn't say a word.
He messed up.
Moreover, it happened twice: once against Cui Daoxuan and once against Xin Huoche Team.
"Release Xu Si, and I'll return these people to you. We'll go our separate ways, how about that?" Fu Xiaojian said.
Mei Lin turned her head, her gaze passing over the rain curtain and landing on the kneeling figures.
He looked at it for a moment, then smiled.
That smile startled the well-traveled Fu Xiaojian.
"Captain Fu, are you sure you've made a mistake?"
His voice was so calm that it didn't sound like he was responding to a threat, but rather like he was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.
"You don't think they're some important person, do you?"
He raised his right hand, his five fingers spread.
Zhao Tiesheng, who was kneeling in front of Fu Xiaojian, suddenly stiffened, and a ball of crimson-gold magic circle light shone on his chest.
The light penetrated through clothing and skin, like a sun that was being nurtured.
"Team leader...no..."
Zhao Tiesheng's voice abruptly stopped.
His body exploded in the next second, and fragments of blood and flesh were washed away by the rain and scattered everywhere, soaking Fan Gu, who was kneeling beside him.
Sequence Six completely overwhelms Sequence Four, not to mention Zhao Tiesheng, who has been completely sealed away by Jiang Li and turned into an ordinary person.
"No!" Fan Gu roared, trying to get up, but the seal prevented him from even standing. He could only kneel on the spot, letting Zhao Tiesheng's blood stream down his face.
Mei Lin withdrew his hand, his expression unchanged.
"Sorry, I've taken away your chips!" Mei Lin's face was full of sinister smiles.
"But thank you still, Captain Fu, for saving me the trouble of cleaning up." He never intended to let these people leave alive while he was inside the magic circle.
So what if they're your own subordinates?
Compared to Sequence Eight, everything else is insignificant.
"Damn it, let's go for it!"
Fu Xiaojian's face turned ashen, while Ta Shan was filled with righteous indignation.
Jiang Li didn't have much to say, hesitating whether or not to remove the chains binding Fan Gu and the others.
Perhaps they'll have some hope once they see Mei Lin's true colors.
"What do we do? Is Red Hair beyond saving?!"
As the team's most reliable support, Jiao Jiao insisted on staying.
"It's not just that Red Hair is beyond saving now, it seems like we're beyond saving too!"
Lin Zhennan rode a puppet ox.
He could have escaped with the other survivors, but he didn't.
After all, the mount he rode was thanks to Xu Si.
A true knight never abandons his teammates.
They all looked at Fu Xiaojian, wondering whether to take a chance and try...
Fu Xiaojian was more devastated than anyone else at this moment. He actually wanted everyone to escape separately, so that perhaps one or two could survive.
He knew the difference between Sequence Six and Sequence Four better than anyone else.
But he couldn't abandon Xu Si, and he couldn't let Xu Si bear all the burdens.
Even though he knew they would be fighting a losing battle, even though he knew it was pointless.
"Jiang Li, untie them!"
Fu Xiaojian's voice suddenly rang out, saying that there was no point in keeping these prisoners tied up any longer.
Jiang Li glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.
With a slight twitch of his fingertips, the chains binding Fan Gu and the others shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the rain.
Fan Gu's body suddenly relaxed, and he almost sprang up from the ground.
The Sequence 4 battle champion, his eyes bloodshot, stared intently at the suspended figure in mid-air.
"Mei—Lin—" His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, each word carrying a deep-seated hatred.
Zhong Ling didn't speak; she simply stood up and silently stepped aside.
Those once bright eyes had lost their liveliness, replaced by a cold, almost numb, deathly stillness.
Mei Lin didn't even glance at them.
His gaze remained fixed on the dark red, eggshell-shaped protective shield, a faint, almost mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Captain Fu, do you think a few more men will change anything? You'd better wait there until I deal with Xu Si and give you a quick death!"
His voice floated down from mid-air, unhurried, as if stating a predetermined ending.
He certainly didn't want to deal with these people so soon.
After all, a bunch of sequence 3s and sequence 4s are just numbers and can't cause any trouble.
Keep it as a resource for him to break through to higher levels later.
"Gentlemen, this time we may really be going to die. Those who want to escape, start running now! I'll try to buy you some more time!" Fu Xiaojian's gaze was fixed on Mei Lin.
However, no one escaped.
When Fu Xiaojian said those words, he didn't move, and neither did anyone in the Xinhuo team.
The members of the Bright Team, whose restrictions had just been lifted by Jiang Li, also did not move.
Tashan stood beside him, his massive body like a silent stone wall, his large hands clenched into fists, his knuckles cracking, suggesting that no one could stop his outburst.
Lin Zhennan rode on the rhinoceros puppet, his long sword held horizontally in front of him, his gaze piercing through the rain, fixed on the suspended figure in mid-air.
Su Su stepped on the cloud threads; among everyone present, perhaps only she could get close to Mei Lin. This was Xu Lie's reality.
Shao Bing, Jiao Jiao, and Jiang Li were also ready...
Surprisingly, it was Fan Gu who launched the first attack, and a familiar arena unfolded in the air.
Mei Lin frowned slightly as she was pulled directly into the group.
