Feng Ziping looked desperately as Pei Yan's figure reappeared before everyone. He forcefully pried apart the hands strapped around his waist and tossed Wei Chuan's mangled body into the arena.

"Two third-tier and three second-tier just got wiped out like that! How long has it been? How did he grow so fast!" Liu Yu looked at the shriveled corpse thrown in front of him and shivered in terror.

A glance around revealed that of the seven who had been tasked with holding off these mechanical beasts, only five remained, and all five were just first-tier Awakened! Fighting these mechanical beasts took all their effort, let alone dealing with Pei Yan.

"I'm done fighting! I surrender!" Liu Yu, seeing the unfavorable situation, reacted quickly and raised his hands high, wisely choosing the former when faced with torture or immediate death.

The others weren't fools either and quickly gathered together, raising their hands in surrender.

Pei Yan jumped atop a mechanical giant tiger and looked outside the field, waiting for their disposition orders. Director Wei whispered a few words to Gu Shenghui and then approached with a few prison guards.

Feng Ziping watched as Director Wei walked to Pei Yan's side, saying something to him. Pei Yan nodded continuously, and before long, four prison guards entered the field, gesturing to two prisoners not belonging to the Divine Desire Organization.

The two prisoners seemed to have received a pardon and exhaled a sigh of relief, running like the wind towards the guards who cuffed them. One prisoner was overjoyed and cried out, viewing the prison guards who were once feared as malicious now as adorable as little angels. He wished he could kiss them twice.

Liu Yu froze at the sight and shuffled slightly, wanting to run over!

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a bullet precisely landed in front of his foot. Liu Yu was so startled that he jerked his foot back and looked up to see Pei Yan standing atop the giant tiger, holding a revolver and emotionlessly staring with his cold mechanical left eye.

Liu Yu pointed at the prisoners about to be taken out and stammered in plea, "I-I-I've surrendered too!"

"I know, but your surrender request has been rejected. I apologize!" Though saying so, Pei Yan's tone held no trace of apology but rather a hint of joy.

Seeing the last avenue of survival blocked, Liu Yu's eyes turned blood-red as he roared, "Why!"

"Because you have no value left; you're redundant criminals!"

"Don't you get it! That kid has a grudge against us and won't let us leave here alive!" Having seen the situation clearly, Feng Ziping scanned around with a bitter smile before closing his eyes in despair.

I can't give up! I don't want to die!

Thinking of this, Feng Ziping suddenly opened his eyes and whispered through the gaps between the mechanical beasts, "Run! Charge outside and run!"

Hope was slim, but they could only stake everything in one last desperate fight!

After speaking, he dashed towards the arena's exit without a second thought, and Liu Yu and the others quickly followed suit.

"First break through the mechanical beasts' blockade! Then scatter; whether we live depends on fate! Thread the needle!" Feng Ziping swung his silver needle with thread, entangling the legs of a mechanical leopard, tripping it to the ground.

Liu Yu ran while glancing back, seeing Pei Yan watching their escape, not urgently chasing but leisurely moving as if waving at him.

Facing Pei Yan, akin to an Evil God, who had caused so much suffering to Liu Yu, he cursed his parents for not giving him more legs, tossed a giant stone to block Pei Yan's view, and started frantically fleeing.

Jumping atop the stone created by Liu Yu and kneeling on one knee, a large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifle materialized. With his mechanical left eye now, he no longer needed a scope, yet his shooting accuracy was superior to before, achieving unity of body and mind, perfect precision.

"Bang!"

Just as Feng Ziping was about to dart through the mechanical tigers' openings, dirt shot up beside his left foot. Terrified, his legs went limp and, seeing the fist-sized crater in the ground, he rolled aside to narrowly avoid the tiger's incoming claws.

A glance showed that the other two were in similar straits, being sniped just as they were about to exit the encirclement but not hitting vital points, merely forcing them back inside the circle.

"Damn it, he's toying with us like monkeys!" Feng Ziping, using his silver needles to seal a mechanical leopard's mouth, was about to pin it to the ground when the sniper rifle sounded again, forcing him to abandon it and dodge aside, cursing vehemently.

"Pile of stones!" Liu Yu, cornered to the point of collapse, roared, using his ability to crush a mechanical tiger beneath debris, then turned wildly towards Pei Yan, shouting madly, "Come on! Kill me! You want my life, right? Come on! If you've got the guts, kill me! I want to see if you'll kill someone defenseless who has given up resistance! Won't your conscience be uneasy! I've surrendered! Not fighting anymore! Want my life, take it!"

For a moment, the field fell silent, all mechanical beasts halted their actions, the gunfire ceased! The disheveled He Yue and Feng Ziping looked at Feng Ziping walking toward Pei Yan with his arms wide open.

Could it actually work?

"Kill me! Come on! I'll become the nightmare in your life afterward! Remind you that you killed someone who gave up resistance today! Come on! Kill me!" Seeing Pei Yan not react, Liu Yu became more emboldened, his voice growing louder, attracting everyone's attention.

"Achoo!" Pei Yan removed his mask and sneezed heavily, scratching his nose and wiping it on the mechanical body, then calmly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Calmly watching Liu Yu's head explode like a watermelon, he calmly aimed the gun at someone else.

With the gun barrel now pointed at him, Feng Ziping sighed deeply, let his arms droop, and resignedly closed his eyes.

"Bang!"

Feng Ziping's body was blasted away amidst a spray of blood and body fragments, landing atop the mechanical tiger behind him.

The only remaining survivor, He Yue, looked at the corpses scattered all around and knelt with a thud, desperately slapping himself as tears and snot flowed, pleading, "I don't want to die! Pei Yan, I don't want to die! I'm begging you to spare me! My foul mouth, everything I said before was bullshit!"

Saying this, he seemed to recall something, spreading both hands to spit saliva onto them before continuing to slap his face, pleading servilely, "Look! I'm pathetic! Please spare me! I'm begging you! Spare my life!"

Watching He Yue, once dignified before him with a mild cleanliness fetish, in his current state, Pei Yan didn't look down on him. He simply warned himself internally that this is what being cornered looks like! He must keep himself from falling into such a state!

Retracting his long gun, he jumped down from the stone, no longer sparing He Yue a glance.

Watching Pei Yan vanish behind the stone, He Yue dropped his hands that had been fiercely slapping his face, letting them hang helplessly as tears rolled uncontrollably down his cheeks.

"Pei Yan! As long as I'm alive, someday I'll have you dead!" He Yue vowed through gritted teeth.

"I know!"

A voice suddenly sounded from within his ear! Before He Yue could react, he felt a wrenching pain in his abdomen, cried out, and fell clutching his stomach.

Looking up, he saw one mechanical beast after another approaching in formation.

"Pei Yan! Damn y.....!"

The sentence was never finished; his body was shredded into pieces by the horde of beasts.
