Chapter 1 "What the Hell is That?"

“What the hell is that?” Gui Xiao looked at the monster that appeared in the black sphere, his expression suddenly changing. “What is the Liuhe Jingmo (Six Unions Mirror Demon)? How is such exaggerated data intensity possible?”

Like Brother Jue, he could see some things on the data level, so he could directly report the opponent's name and grasp its approximate strength.

“The holy and the demonic share the same origin, the blood and the fiend return to one. Before the Six Unions Mirror, all beings are equal.” Feng Bujue replied to Gui Xiao with sixteen words that seemed right but weren’t, then paused for a second and turned to the entire Order team. “All five of you are top experts in Thriller Paradise, I think… with your strength, you should be able to nip this ‘new god’ in the bud.”

“Oh~ I think I understand…” Meng Jingchan looked at Brother Jue at this moment and said with a wry smile, “Brother Feng, you’re planning to borrow a knife to kill someone and sit back and watch the tigers fight, right?”

“Hehe…” Feng Bujue replied with a smile, “Not at all~ Not at all~ I don’t plan to watch the show here, I have other things to do, excuse me.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that he was planning to slip away. How could they tolerate this?

“Don’t even think about it!” Gui Xiao roared immediately after hearing this, and leaped towards Brother Jue.

Gui Xiao knew that if Feng Bujue wanted to escape, he would have to use the Zhuanjie Kouqin (World-Shifting Harmonica), and that harmonica would take at least four or five seconds to take effect.

Gui Xiao didn't plan to give Brother Jue that kind of time... He rushed forward at an astonishing speed, and took the opportunity to summon his two shikigami (spirit servants), Shou Huang (Beast Emperor) and Shi Hou (Corpse Empress).

In an instant, two lithe, ghostly shadows suddenly appeared in mid-air, forming a joint encirclement of Feng Bujue with Gui Xiao.

That Shou Huang (Beast Emperor) had the body of a lion, was covered in scales and thorns, had wings on its back, and giant fangs and claws.

That Shi Hou (Corpse Empress) was shaped like a Jiang Gui (stiff ghost), dressed in white like snow, surrounded by death, with ten fingers like hooks.

“Hmph… interesting.” Looking at Gui Xiao’s offensive, Feng Bujue chuckled.

The next second, he raised one hand, and the Feng Mo Poker (Mad Demon Poker) was already in his hand.

Facing this kind of simultaneous attack, using Kuangluan (Madness) was undoubtedly the best strategy. In the match against Blade, Long Ge and Greedy Wolf fell for this trick and suffered a great loss as a result.

“I’ll see if you can still laugh in a moment!” Gui Xiao roared again as he attacked.

Immediately afterward, his and the two shikigami's attacks "hit" Brother Jue at the same time.

Bang bang bang—

As three close energy explosion sounds rang out, the Feng Mo Poker's Kuangluan (Madness) effect had also been activated; after a "Great Universe Shift", the three forces of Gui Xiao, Shou Huang (Beast Emperor), and Shi Hou (Corpse Empress) were guided to each other...

In the end, not only did this round of joint attack not cause any damage to Brother Jue, it also caused Gui Xiao to suffer some injuries himself, and the two shikigami were scattered as soon as they appeared.

“So that’s how it is…” However, facing this result, Feng Bujue’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “It seems… although you are straightforward, you are not stupid.”

“Hmph…” Gui Xiao sneered, “I don’t need you to praise me.”

These two were the type who could see through data, and apart from Hunyi (Soul Intent), there was no secret to other aspects of information. If the duel between other players was likened to playing cards, then the game between Tun Tian Gui Xiao (Devouring Sky Ghost Brave) and Feng Bujue was like playing Go—all the actions, intentions, and strategies of both sides were displayed under the opponent's nose. Moreover, this was also a "fast chess", so fast that any moment of relaxation could be fatal.

"You know very well… as long as Kuangluan (Madness) is still there, your numerical advantage is useless, and the psychological pressure generated to guard against this effect will make your entire team feel restrained." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue continued his commentary, “Therefore, you don’t hesitate to sacrifice a third of your health and lose two shikigami to force me to use Kuangluan (Madness).” He shook his head and spread his hands, “Although the way you used it was simple and crude, and at first glance, it seemed like you were deliberately stepping into a trap, but… from a strategic point of view, this is using a local sacrifice to gain an overall advantage, using a small loss to solve a big problem…”

Speaking of this, Brother Jue laughed again, a smile that made Gui Xiao feel very uncomfortable: "Heh... I must admit, in terms of combat IQ, you are the second strongest of all the geniuses I've ever seen."

“What… did… you… say?” Hearing this sentence, Gui Xiao’s anger value instantly filled up.

“Calm down! Don’t let him provoke you.” Just as Gui Xiao was about to blow up, Wu Si Can Xuan's clear shout came.

Hearing the sound, Gui Xiao regained his senses and glanced around… only then did he realize that his four teammates had already jumped up from the vermilion road, each offering up their floating skills, surrounding Feng Bujue in the air.

“Brother Feng, that ‘new god’ you mentioned doesn’t seem to want to pay attention to us.” When Meng Jingchan said this, he also glanced at the distant Liuhe Jingmo (Six Unions Mirror Demon) out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, the strangely shaped mirror demon was standing on the vermilion road in a daze, as if it had lost its connection.

Rather than provoke this enemy who had not taken the initiative to attack, the members of Order naturally chose to come over and deal with Brother Jue first.

“Ha!” Feng Bujue chuckled dryly, “You’d better ‘think carefully’ again, hasn’t he really ‘paid attention’ to you?”

His words were obviously meaningful, but the members of Order did not understand for a moment.

“Don’t listen to his pretentiousness, kill him first!” As the captain, Wu Si Can Xuan’s thinking at this time was different from that of the other members. He would not overthink those other things; everything was handled with "winning the game" as the highest priority, which was the captain's responsibility.

“That’s right, Kuangluan (Madness) has already been used up, we have five against one, he will surely die.” Half a second later, Sheng Yu Pian, the vice-captain, also chimed in with his usual calm tone, “Let’s do it.”

Before the words were finished, the five of them moved at the same time!

Zui Sheng Meng Si (Drunken Life Dream Death), Tun Tian Gui Xiao (Devouring Sky Ghost Brave)… besieged by these five top experts at the same time, no one could survive.

Feng Bujue… also knew this very well.

From the beginning, he knew that he would die here. So not long after entering the script, he had An Da Xiaojie (Miss An) cast the Asikelipiwsizhi Zhang (Rod of Asclepius)'s special effect, Buxiu Zhili (Undying Power), on himself so that he could… meet this death here.

…………

A week ago, in the third round of the Bloody Battle in the Four Realms (that is, the match between Diyu Qianxian (Hell's Frontline) vs Shidao Yifan Dui (Corpse Blade First Squad)), as the script neared its end...

At that time, in the stone courtyard of Liuhe Temple, Xuan Hong's Dharma body had been destroyed, and the Qi of Blood Fiend was constantly pouring into the Liuhe Mirror.

“You…” Ruo Yu looked at Feng Bujue and asked, “Are you going to jump in?”

“Heh…” Feng Bujue, who was walking towards the Liuhe Mirror, turned his head and gave Ruo Yu a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

After saying that, he took a step forward and stepped into the distorted blood abyss in front of him that looked like a mirror.

Almost at the instant he entered that space, Feng Bujue heard bursts of mournful wails that reached his soul, and a nauseating smell of blood constantly stimulated his nasal cavity and throat.

This kind of terrifying and disgusting feeling was extremely unbearable, and others might not be able to persist for even a second.

But Feng Bujue walked forward as if nothing had happened, treating everything as nothing.

After a while, the scenery around him changed, and he came to a space with a white top and a black bottom, boundless and boundless, standing on a narrow vermilion path.

In front of him, a suspended strange shadow immediately appeared—the Liuhe Jingmo (Six Unions Mirror Demon).

“You are the first person to come here voluntarily.” The mirror demon spoke, but the voice did not come from the mouth on its head, but from inside the mirror.

Its voice sounded indistinguishable between male and female, five parts like a tenor, five parts like a contralto; and its tone was extremely "high"... that is, the height that someone who has not received vocal training could never reach no matter how they howled.

“Hmm…” Feng Bujue didn’t respond to the other party’s words, he just stroked his chin, staring at the mirror demon with the eyes of a scientist staring at a formula, thoughtfully.

“What?” Seeing that the other party didn’t answer, the mirror demon continued, “Are you too afraid to speak?”

“Speaking of which…” Feng Bujue still ignored it, just talking to himself, “This thing should be one of the ‘new gods’ after ‘Twilight’ recognized by the system, right?” He licked his lips, “Hmm… that Oink guy’s background is really not simple.”

“You brat… how dare you ignore me?” After a few seconds, the mirror demon finally got angry, and it urged a demonic force to pounce on Feng Bujue.

Brother Jue didn’t take it seriously, and with the Moon Steps, he easily avoided the attack.

“It’s not yet fully formed, judging from the data, it’s not yet a ‘god’, and its level hasn’t been fixed yet…” Feng Bujue was thinking non-stop while dodging, “Overall, its current strength is still not as good as Samael, I am fully capable of killing it. But… if I really do that, the system will definitely go and support other new gods…”

Thinking of this, Brother Jue had an idea.

“Heh…” After the plan was decided, he showed a sinister smile, “It’s better to… just do something with this known ‘quasi-new god’…”

…………

Time, back to the present…

Five figures gathered, palm winds and sword shadows, surrounding Feng Bujue so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.

“Okay… the last step.” Who would have thought that this situation was exactly what Brother Jue wanted.

In that instant, he activated the Lingshi Ju Shen Shu - Gai (Spirit Consciousness Convergence Technique - Modified), fully performed the Moon Steps, and rushed towards the direction where the Liuhe Jingmo (Six Unions Mirror Demon) was.

And the person attacking from that direction… was Zui Wo Changran (Drunk Lying Regretfully).

“He chose my side…” Seeing this, Zui Wo Changran thought in his heart, “Indeed, in this situation, rushing towards a certain direction with a determination to die… is the only way to survive. If it were me, I would do the same. But… choosing my side is still a bit annoying…”

It was understandable that he would be annoyed, because according to common sense, "breaking through" would generally be launched at the weakest link in the encirclement. At this moment, Brother Jue chose his side, which somewhat hurt Zui Wo Changran's self-esteem.

As a top celebrity player, Zui Wo Changran's thoughts at this time could also be guessed—he would use his strongest strike to prove that the other party's choice was a big mistake.

“Dragon Fist… Outbreak!” The next second, Zui Wo Changran mercilessly launched an attack on Feng Bujue who was coming towards him.

And Brother Jue's reaction was as unexpected as ever...

“Well done!” He actually praised the other party, and sacrificed the Dong Ru Lei Ting (Moving Like Thunder), accelerating again in mid-air.

“Are you courting death!” Zui Wo Changran was certainly very surprised by Feng Bujue’s reaction, but he had no intention of being soft.

In an instant, the fist led a light dragon to soar into the sky, and its force destroyed demons and dyed the sky with blood.

But seeing… Feng Bujue didn’t dodge, twisted his body to resist the fist, and his entire body was instantly scraped off by more than half. This kind of injury… unless an S-level medical specialization ultimate move was used immediately, it would definitely be hopeless.

At this moment, all five members of Order were certain that Feng Bujue would breathe his last in at most seven or eight seconds.

However…

“Haha… hahahahaha…”

A burst of almost insane laughter suddenly made the hearts of the five people jump to their throats.

“Why is he laughing… is he really crazy?”

“Maybe he wants to bluff before he dies to fight for benefits for his teammates?”

“No… something’s wrong… I’ve been monitoring his heartbeat and pulse throughout the whole process, and it was steady as hell until before he was punched!”

“I also think there’s a problem, if he was willing to risk his life, he could at least die together with one of us.”

“Damn it… it wouldn’t be so terrible if it were someone else, but Feng Bujue…”

That's right, because he was Feng Bujue.

Therefore, "death" could also become his calculation.

Feng Bujue, who had suffered a fatal injury, did not stop, relying on the sprint before being punched, and only his remaining body was still approaching the mirror demon at an extremely fast speed.

When the five members of Order realized the other party’s intentions, it was too late to stop them… their suspicion and unease quickly turned into tangible terror.

“Everyone… this newly baked ‘god’ is handed over to you!” Feng Bujue, who had fallen on the vermilion road, roared at Gui Xiao and the others with his last breath. At the same time, he smeared his blood… on the mirror surface.

Instantly, the entire Liuhe Mirror turned red, the demonic power churned, and a compelling power spread from the mirror demon.

The entire realm’s sky, earth, sun, and abyss… all suddenly reversed and turned upside down at this moment.

“Gui Xiao, what’s the situation now?” Wu Si Can Xuan asked Gui Xiao at the first moment.

“The situation is…” Gui Xiao stared at the mirror demon, his expression becoming very solemn, “This monster’s data intensity has increased again, and… its race has been defined by the system as—God.”

Woo~ woo woo~ woo woo woo—

Just as they were talking, suddenly, a harmonica sound floated from the distant sky.

“What!” Gui Xiao was shocked when he heard this sound, because he remembered… this was the sound of the Zhuanjie Kouqin (World-Shifting Harmonica), the harmonica that Feng Bujue had played when he took him away from the Court of Truth!

In the same second, the other four members of Order also heard the harmonica sound, and they all turned their heads to follow the sound, and as a result, they saw…
