Crash!!

Qiao Jiajin began ramming the door.

The situation was truly too bizarre.

He could clearly hear the voices of Qi Xia and Li Xiangling, yet no one was coming to open the door for him.

“Liar! Kung Fu Girl!!” Qiao Jiajin shouted, dripping with sweat. “What’s going on? Open the door quickly!!”

At this moment, the “Cat” people heard the commotion and began gathering here from the first floor.

They gradually surrounded Qiao Jiajin.

Song Qi pushed through the crowd and slowly stepped forward. He remembered this flower-armed man.

Earlier, he had appeared for only a very short time, yet had broken the arms of six people.

What was even more terrifying was that he wasn’t an “Echo” user.

“Brother.” Song Qi called out. “State your name.”

Qiao Jiajin slowly turned his head, his eyes coldly looking at this group of people: “State my name?”

“Yes, although we’ve already killed many people, I want to know your name.”

“A’Jin from Bolan Street.” Qiao Jiajin sneered. “You can call me ‘Master Qiao,’ or you can call me ‘Boss.'”

“Interesting.” Song Qi looked at the door behind Qiao Jiajin and asked: “Are there still people inside?”

Qiao Jiajin didn’t answer, instead asking: “Why don’t you go look elsewhere? If you insist on entering this door, half of your brothers here will die.”

“Yes, I believe you can do it.” Song Qi nodded. “But even if we all die, this mission must be completed.”

“So there’s no room for negotiation?” Qiao Jiajin stretched his neck. “Who’s prepared to be first?”

Several men wearing black clothing also loosened up their muscles and walked toward him.

Qiao Jiajin knew these people’s capabilities. Earlier, he had hidden and observed for a while, discovering that all these intruders were “Echo” users, and all had “Echoes” suitable for combat like Luo Shiyi’s.

Beyond that, everyone before him had received combat training, each move and stance very standard.

“How troublesome…” Qiao Jiajin felt his head was a bit chaotic.

Why were people in this place all so unreasonable?

They could kill at the slightest disagreement. In all his years on the streets, he had never seen such a scene.

He now wanted to summon the “Miracle” he had used during the day, but whether from exhaustion or mental confusion, he couldn’t capture even the slightest trace of the “Miracle.”

“Liar… I can only fight one last time…”

…

Qi Xia stood blankly in place, the ground around his feet covered with organs and severed fingers.

He felt his body weight had lightened by half, and his entire consciousness was beginning to blur.

Yet he wasn’t dead.

He knew his heart and brain were still there, so he wouldn’t die for a while.

“Kill me…” Qi Xia muttered. “Do it…”

“Eh…?” Xuanwu once again revealed an extremely exaggerated expression. “Weren’t you going to kill me? How did it become me killing you?”

“Don’t torture me anymore…” Qi Xia said desperately. “I surrender…”

“Don’t!!” Xuanwu shrieked as she stood up. “You can’t give up!”

“I beg you…” Qi Xia felt his consciousness was already unclear. His entire body was in pain.

Those organs that had been removed had stopped working, and now various wounds were throbbing inside his body.

He knew he couldn’t survive, but hadn’t expected that even dying would be so difficult.

“Brother Qi…” Li Xiangling stood to the side at a complete loss, not knowing what to do.

Xuanwu before them was already densely covered with knife wounds, yet like a hedgehog that had lost its spines, she was still lively and active.

“Quickly kill me…” Qi Xia’s eyes had died. “I’m too tired…”

He slowly raised his head, only to discover Yu Nian’an standing right behind Xuanwu.

“An…” Qi Xia slowly revealed a smile.

He moved his incredibly light body and slowly walked over.

“Xia!” Yu Nian’an looked at Qi Xia with some concern. “What’s wrong with you? You look very tired. Was work very hard this time?”

Qi Xia cried as he smiled.

“Yes, this time work was especially hard…” He choked out. “I’m really so tired. I thought I’d never see you again… An…”

Ever since entering the “Land of the End,” Qi Xia had maintained his coldness from beginning to end.

He was like a machine, constantly avoiding all errors, carefully treading along the optimal path.

All his programs were wound very tight, always afraid of making a single misstep.

Yet such a person was now crying his heart out.

“An… where exactly are you…?”

“Xia, I’m at home.” Yu Nian’an said with concern. “I bought your favorite peanuts. Come home, I’m waiting for you.”

“Home…?”

“Xia, shall we go home?”

“Mm…” Qi Xia wept. “An… take me home… take me away…”

Xuanwu looked behind herself in confusion, not understanding what this man before her was doing.

But in the next second, she suddenly felt the room vibrate slightly.

Li Xiangling also felt something wasn’t right, as if something enormous was moving.

Before the two could react, a sky-shattering bell sound exploded, its massive shockwave directly throwing both of them to the ground, leaving only Qi Xia still standing there.

The room’s glass also vibrated incessantly in this violent bell sound, about to shatter at any moment.

And the people fighting outside the door also swayed unsteadily in this bell sound, not a single person able to stand firm.

Li Xiangling took a long time to get up. While Xuanwu still couldn’t move, she immediately ran to check on Qi Xia’s condition, only to discover that although he was standing there, he was no longer breathing.

…

Chu Tianqiu and Yun Yao stood before the screen, watching the “Echoes” appearing on the screen like bullet comments going back and forth. Neither spoke.

After a long time, Chu Tianqiu finally spoke: “Yun Yao, let’s make a bet.”

“You want to bet whether Qi Xia will ‘Echo’?”

“No.” Chu Tianqiu shook his head. “I want to bet with you on how many characters Qi Xia’s ‘Echo’ has.”

“How many characters…?”

“I bet three characters.” Chu Tianqiu said. “Qi Xia is absolutely a dragon among phoenixes among the people of the ‘Land of the End’… my previous deductions won’t be wrong.”

As Chu Tianqiu’s words fell, the entire giant bell began to shake.

A smile slowly appeared on his face, but in the next second the smile froze.

The amplitude of this giant bell’s movement was too terrifying!

“No, not good…” Chu Tianqiu pulled Yun Yao and shouted. “Quick! Get in the car!”

The two immediately got in the car and closed all windows. Just as Chu Tianqiu was about to put it in reverse to back up a bit, the massive bell sound exploded.

The two hurriedly covered their ears, yet felt the entire ground shaking. The car’s windshield also developed frightening cracks under this tremendous vibration.

Chu Tianqiu struggled to raise his head to look at the screen, discovering a line of gigantic text appearing in the center of the screen, covering all other “Echoes.”

But after a few seconds, a second bell sound rang out, and the massive text disappeared.

Seeing the bell sound dissipate, the two finally emerged from their suffering.

After a daze, Chu Tianqiu asked with a trembling voice: “What the hell was that just now?”

Yun Yao’s expression was also shocked to the extreme.

“Yun Yao, I must be insane, why would the screen write that?!” Chu Tianqiu revealed an ugly smile. “Fortunately I brought you along. Quickly tell me what you saw!”

Yun Yao lightly swallowed. She also felt she had gone mad.

Just now Chu Tianqiu had been betting on how many characters Qi Xia’s “Echo” had, but was what was written on the screen truly an “Echo”?

Fortunately the two of them had witnessed this together, otherwise no one would believe that the screen which for several years had only displayed “Echoes” actually wrote:

“I saw the surging of ‘Endless Life’!”
