Chapter 925: Chapter 923: Intervention
Yi Chen couldn’t guess what William’s ultimate purpose was, but he had his own thoughts. As long as he could reach a deeper level, as long as he could transcend everyone, whatever William was planning or plotting, he could break through it with a blade.
When he returned backstage, five or six people had already arrived, each with their own unique traits, arguably the world’s most outstanding elites.
Yet, no matter how outstanding, they could hardly compare with someone like Jin, who was designated by Fu Jiang and had already reached the level ’Under the King’, akin to a High Table Knight.
They naturally sensed something different about Jin, noticed the difference in purity, even secretly colluded, intending to join forces against Jin on the final stage.
Just as Yi Chen reached the doorway of the private makeup room, a hand suddenly reached out, wrapped around his neck, and pulled him inside.
Liu Xinzhi’s makeup for the stage was already complete, a very light and thin makeup,
After all, Fu Jiang’s influence had already given her a sufficiently stunning appearance, makeup was merely a slight external embellishment.
Currently still waiting for the designer to bring the so-called ’beauty pageant dress’, Liu Xinzhi was now only wearing a set of underwear, sitting at the makeup table, facing the entrance where Yi Chen was.
Clack~ The door closed.
Liu Xinzhi immediately opened her arms to embrace him, her legs wrapping around his waist.
However, the atmosphere held nothing ambiguous, Liu Xinzhi’s head gently rested on Yi Chen’s shoulder, speaking with unusual determination in his ear,
"Mr. Yi, kill me now! I’ve already thought about it... rather than dying at that woman’s hands, I’d rather die early by your hand.
I know this is unfair to you, that I can’t keep my promise, but I’m just such a selfish person.
Without hope, I want to die early by your hand, I’m begging you."
Yi Chen roughly guessed her thoughts and calmly offered comfort, "I will kill you, but not now, only after the contest ends..."
"How could I possibly survive to the end? Just losing means being absorbed, this is Fu Jiang’s destiny..."
"I have a way."
"Mr. Yi, is there a way in the short ten-plus minutes of preparation here for me to catch up with that lady named Jin?"
"You can’t catch up, but you should just participate in the beauty pageant."
Liu Xinzhi slowly returned her head, gazing emotionally at Yi Chen’s pupils, then embraced him again.
"I can’t understand your thoughts, I don’t even know if Mr. Yi is lying to me, is he planning to hand me over directly to that Miss Jin.
But I still believe you... I trust Mr. Yi won’t lie to me."
"Hmm, prepare well, it will start soon."
...
Not long after,
A loud sound of leather shoes reached the backstage area, a golden suit illuminating brightly under the lights, his raised hand clapping forcefully above his head.
"OK, ladies! All eyes on me, look at me, look at me!"
With these words, indeed, he drew all the contestants’ attention, but they instinctively retreated continuously, generating a mysterious feeling of fear in their hearts.
Even Jin took a small step back, looking somewhat surprised at William.
"Next, I’ll announce the final beauty pageant process and precautions! I’ll distribute numbers based on your arrival order, sticking them on your waists.
Then you’ll take the stage based on this number, with number 1 as the center to perform an opening dance.
From the dance stage onwards, you can compete, as long as the beauty of the stage is not compromised.
If anyone disregards the stage’s beauty, only focusing on a low and unable-to-take-the-stage slaughter, then our program group will directly erase them.
After the stage ends, if there is still more than one person surviving, it will proceed to personal showcase, use your beauty to overshadow others and achieve ultimate victory.
The dance video you should have all watched during makeup, get ready to go on stage in five minutes."
Yi Chen gently patted Liu Xinzhi’s back,
"Go ahead~ Perform well."
"Got it, I will try to survive as best I can, to let Mr. Yi kill me."
After a deep embrace, Liu Xinzhi walked towards the stage, surrounded by elites from various countries, each having integrated at least tens of thousands of people.
The song "Blinding Lights" played,
Under the dazzling starlight on the stage, ten people appeared like a girl group,
Among them, naturally, Jin was the most eye-catching, wearing a short red tight top and golden wrap skirt that exposed her abs, with deep red butterfly wings on her back.
With Jin as the center, they danced to the rhythm.
Each person had their small movements, either secreting fluids to erode others’ legs, or extending proliferated arms in the shadows to interfere with others’ dances.
But Jin’s methods were unique,
the butterfly wings on her back gradually transformed into real butterflies, from a distance, each butterfly had its own color, encircling the stage like a rainbow, crowding around Jin’s body.
Upon closer inspection, the patterns on the butterfly wings corresponded to grim female faces, even with small women’s heads growing on their butterfly heads.
Any woman touched by the butterfly would immediately grow translucent tumors, with strange Red Lotus faces blooming on the surface.
The flower pistils of the human face would emit laughter, disrupting the individual’s dance rhythm,
The more chaotic the rhythm, the larger the tumor would grow, until... Boom! The explosion caused them to fly completely off the stage, trying to heal the paralyzed body, only to be devoured by numerous butterfly faces.
Jin’s dance had never changed, even becoming more immersive as the number of personnel decreased.
However, these butterflies did not target Liu Xinzhi because she had stated she would leave the woman chosen by Yi Chen for last.
Facing such a disparity, Liu Xinzhi was completely overwhelmed, not knowing how to deal with such an existence.
Clearly, the so-called malice of Fu Jiang had already chosen this Miss Jin, while the name Liu Xinzhi was merely a foil to the opponent, not even having the qualification for nomination.
Dance ended,
Jin turned her head 180° towards Liu Xinzhi behind her.
"How boring, I originally thought the final performance would encounter some beings as strong as the Plague Master. It seems this mode of forced growth finds difficulty cultivating strong individuals quickly,
However, over half of Fu Jiang’s concept has long accumulated within me, the outcome has been predefined, this program was only for William to accelerate my collection.
The lucky one chosen by Mr. Yi, I will absorb you using a special method, to see exactly what is unique about you."
Liu Xinzhi, although trembling with fear, still hadn’t forgotten the obsession of dying by Mr. Yi’s hand, she was already prepared to escape, ready to flee to Yi Ceng and die there.
Just as Jin was about to take action, Liu Xinzhi prepared to flee,
Whizz! A figure suddenly appeared on stage.
Accompanied by all devices ceasing operation, only a few lights were still on.
The shadow blocking the way was Yi Chen,
This time he no longer acted as an observer but actively participated in this program, disrupting the program.
"Jin... Since you haven’t found killing satisfaction on this path, want to try with me?"
"Hey! Mr. Yi, what’s going on, are you planning to protect this woman you’ve only just met for a few days? We are teammates."
Jin’s face had already shown several green veins, with jealousy being amplified by Fu Jiang’s concept hundreds of times, spreading to every cell in her body.
"This meaningless championship, malicious sweeping form, provides no benefit for your growth. I can help you truly settle; if you can beat me, not only can you deal with Liu Xinzhi as you wish, but also make any request to me."
Jin immediately showed interest, "Oh? Any request? That’s great, I’ve actually wanted to test Mr. Yi as William’s other half for a long time, to see how strong you really are.
Whether you’re stronger than me now, having already devoured Mi Buddha’s relic, integrating over half of Fu Jiang’s phenomena.
Alright! I accept... but I have one more request.
Mr. Yi, can you forbid carrying Little Grape, Yellow Skin, and that Parasite, must duel me one-on-one."
"Okay."
Jin immediately shouted loudly, "William, quickly give us a bigger venue! This small stage cannot accommodate us."
