As soon as Han Yimo’s words fell, everyone felt the entire room tremble slightly.

“What…?” Chu Tianqiu frowned at him. “What do you mean ‘can’t survive without Qi Xia’?”

“You supporting characters have already been abandoned by the ‘Savior’…” Han Yimo said with a trembling voice. “Yet you’re still brazenly planning for the future…? Not a single ‘supporting character’ in any novel can succeed…!”

“Supporting character…?”

Both Chu Tianqiu and Yan Zhichun were stunned, feeling that the man before them was probably eighty percent insane. They were both prominent figures in the “Land of the End”—how had they become someone else’s “supporting characters”?

“What should we do… what should we do?!” Han Yimo said nervously. “Which part of the plot is this even…?”

Doctor Zhao turned and patted Han Yimo. “Brother… calm down a bit. The situation isn’t as bad as you’re making it out to be, is it?”

“Not bad?!” Han Yimo shouted. “The situation is already terrible!! This ‘protagonist’ has gotten separated from the ‘Savior’!!”

No one could follow Han Yimo’s train of thought—they could only stare at him blankly.

“My God…” Han Yimo crouched down, grabbing his hair. Everyone felt the entire teaching building tremble again. “What should I do next…? Who can protect me?!”

Yun Yao felt the man before her seemed somewhat dangerous. She protected Tiantian behind her, looking at him with confusion. “Why don’t you find a way to protect yourself?”

“How am I supposed to protect myself?! What if I encounter difficulties that simply can’t be solved?!” Han Yimo raised his head with a crazed expression and asked, “What if, just like the real world… an earthquake happens here too?!”

As soon as the words fell, the entire room began to shake continuously.

“You, wait a moment…”

Chu Tianqiu felt things weren’t looking good. Was this man also an “Echoer”? Why was he yet another person they’d never heard of?

He could actually shake the earth?

“What if this place is like outside… experiencing that kind of earthquake…” Han Yimo continued with his head lowered, his entire body trembling constantly. “What if the walls crack… and the ceiling also shatters…”

Before the words had even finished falling, the entire wall developed fine cracks under this weak trembling, and dust kept falling from the ceiling.

Jin Yuanxun immediately sensed something was wrong and instantly appeared before Han Yimo, pushing him to the ground.

“Hey! That’s enough!” He grabbed Han Yimo’s collar and shouted. “What kind of ability do you have? Why are you talking like that?”

“Damn it…” Han Yimo was startled by Jin Yuanxun. “You bully… you bunch of people grabbing a girl—this kind of scene is far too common in novels… how can there be a ‘bully’ who can grab the ‘protagonist’s’ collar?!”

“What…?”

The sound of rushing wind came from the distance, as if something was flying toward them at extreme speed.

Doctor Zhao was about to speak when several gleaming white objects suddenly fell before him.

He was stunned for a moment and discovered that on the ground by his feet lay several pieces of broken silver.

At the same moment, several pieces of broken silver also fell before Yun Yao, Tiantian, Auntie Tong, Old Lu, and Li Xiangling.

These pieces of broken silver scattered across the floor like hail falling inside the room.

“Crack!!”

A crisp sound exploded. A pitch-black object burst through the glass and flew in, now suspended above everyone’s heads, emanating cold energy.

Looking at it carefully, this object was actually a pure black giant sword. Like a poisonous snake floating in the air, it was aiming its sword tip at everyone in the room.

“Those judged ‘good’ receive one tael and seven qian of silver as reward… Those judged ‘evil’… will have their dantian pierced by ‘Seven Black.'” Han Yimo said with a cold laugh. “Let me see… who is more ‘evil’—me or you?”

Jin Yuanxun felt a chill and immediately released Han Yimo, cautiously retreating several steps.

“‘Seven Black’…?”

The giant sword suspended in the air kept rotating its tip, now pointing at Han Yimo, now pointing at Jin Yuanxun, as if truly judging whom it should attack.

After a moment, the giant sword pointed at Jin Yuanxun, then erupted with a terrifying wind-breaking sound, stabbing straight toward his lower abdomen at a speed no one could react to.

Seeing this, Jin Yuanxun hastily closed both eyes tightly and disappeared from his spot when the sword tip was less than a finger’s width away from him.

The black sword didn’t stop. It directly tore through the floor, toppling a large number of tables and chairs. Seeing this, everyone in the room hastily scattered to avoid it. Old Lu quickly protected Auntie Tong in the corner of the wall, and Yun Yao also pulled Tiantian behind her.

No matter what kind of technique this was, it was far too terrifying.

One person wielding a flying sword to attack while another could disappear from his spot—this bizarre duel like superhumans was actually happening before their eyes. Everyone was powerless to resist and could only scatter to avoid it.

The giant sword toppled more than half of the tables and chairs, then turned back from midair. As if unwilling to give up, it emitted waves of dragon roars, then once again aimed at Jin Yuanxun.

“Hey…” Yun Yao felt something wasn’t right. This giant sword looked extremely large. If it continued flying around in the room, probably not a single person would survive. “Han Yimo, calm down first. Are you trying to kill everyone here?”

After hearing this, Han Yimo turned his head and said with a bitter smile, “Do you think that sword is actually under my control…?”

“What…?”

“Those who didn’t receive silver, run. After Jin Yuanxun dies, it will be your turn.” Han Yimo said despondently. “I’m afraid even I can’t escape.”

“You can’t control this sword at all?!”

“That’s right.” Han Yimo nodded. “It will continue slaughtering evil people. None of us can escape.”

As soon as the words fell, the “Seven Black Sword” accelerated through the air again, charging straight toward Jin Yuanxun like a dart. Jin Yuanxun hastily closed both eyes and appeared on the other side of the room.

Yun Yao paused, then turned back to look around at everyone. Among the people present… whose “Echo” could restrain this sword?

Chu Tianqiu stood motionless in the center of the room, slowly raising the corners of his mouth.

“As expected, these are all things only a ‘God’ can do… this is truly wonderful…”

The Seven Black Sword passed by Chu Tianqiu’s side several times. The tremendous sword energy made his clothes flutter noisily. He slowly turned back and said to Yun Yao, “Yun Yao, you should go. Take Li Xiangling and leave.”

After hearing this, Yun Yao cautiously turned around. “Really?”

“Really.” Chu Tianqiu nodded. “Jin Yuanxun is trapped. I can’t keep you here anymore. Go.”

Yun Yao discovered his expression was very strange, as if he had given up on something, yet also as if he had figured something out.

“Little Li, Tiantian, let’s go.” Yun Yao said. “I don’t want to stay in this place for another moment.”

“Alright.” Both of them nodded at her and ran out of the classroom along the wall one after another.

At this time, the “Seven Black Sword” was still flying around the room, its target consistently Jin Yuanxun. Fortunately, the sword body looked somewhat cumbersome, so Jin Yuanxun could barely survive. But because he was trying not to let the giant sword harm others, dodging was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Doctor Zhao.” Chu Tianqiu suddenly called out. “Make your move. I can make you a deputy leader of ‘Heaven’s Mouth.'”

“Deputy leader…?” Doctor Zhao paused.

“That’s right. You can tell me what you want, and I’ll do my best to satisfy you.” Chu Tianqiu nodded. “From now on, both of you follow me.”

“Is that so…?”

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao thought for a moment, then frowned slightly. The Seven Black Sword in the air instantly turned into a large amount of black sand that scattered to the ground.

Han Yimo was astonished for a moment and turned to look at Doctor Zhao.

Why did this person have the power to shatter the “Seven Black Sword”?

Why did everyone have hidden identities?

“Which part of the plot… is this supposed to be?”
