Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Watching the flashes of white light continuously appear around Zhang Yi as his subordinates were taken down one after another, King's Glory, who was looking for an opportunity to shoot Zhang Yi from a distance, couldn't help but swallow deeply, a deeper killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"Damn it, go! All of you, go! Even if you have to pile on him, make sure he dies!"

Two fists are no match for four hands. After killing dozens of players from King's World, Zhang Yi's health had dropped by more than half!

This was still under the condition that most of the opposing players could only inflict 1 point of mandatory damage on Zhang Yi. Those level 10 archers who had learned [Armor Break Arrow] and the assassins with [Armor Break Strike] were the greatest threats to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi deliberately targeted those with gray names, trying to keep his Sin value at 0, so that if he died, the loss would be minimized.

The damage to the Flame Staff greatly restricted Zhang Yi's mobility, rendering him unable to use skills and turning him from a ranged attacker into a melee fighter.

If he could still use the staff, the opposing mages and archers wouldn't be so arrogant, attacking Zhang Yi from a distance.

"Bang!"

Prepared to die on the battlefield, Zhang Yi struck down another level 16 Warrior player from King's World with a hammer.

Just then, several figures suddenly broke through the encirclement from the crowd of King's World, quickly reaching Zhang Yi.

"Brother, we're here!"

Looking around, Zhang Yi realized it was Guan Hao, Liu Xing, and Han Feng who had fought their way in!

Clang!

Guan Hao, the Knight, stood in front of the wounded Zhang Yi, wielding a hammer and shield to protect him. The Assassin Liu Xing and Archer Han Feng guarded the flanks, while the Priest Han Yaru immediately cast [Minor Healing] to restore Zhang Yi's health!

Zhang Yi's heart trembled, "Are you guys crazy?"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Blocking several fireballs with his shield, Guan Hao glanced back at Zhang Yi and shouted, "Have you forgotten the oath of our Three Brothers of Peach Garden? We may not be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we hope to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!"

As Guan Hao's words fell, Liu Xing echoed, "Yes, we are brothers!"

Brothers...

Those two words stirred something inside Zhang Yi.

To be honest, Guan Hao and the others' reckless charge to support him truly touched Zhang Yi, reminding him of the days when the Three Brothers of Peach Garden skipped class to play games at the internet cafe, fighting passionately.

"Zhang Yi, stop daydreaming! I can't hold on much longer!" Guan Hao turned back to Zhang Yi, gritting his teeth and frowning, "Quickly take a potion to recover, then we either run or fight them head-on. Even if we die, we should take a few down with us!"

"Alright."

Zhang Yi nodded, just as he took out a Health Potion from his bag and drank it, a scream suddenly pierced his ears.

The scene before him left Zhang Yi astonished.

Out of nowhere, the Assassin Liu Xing suddenly attacked Guan Hao, stabbing him in the back. With the support of a barrage of attacks from the mages and archers of King's World, Guan Hao was killed!

Guan Hao, with his health bar emptied, turned his head, looking incredulously at Liu Xing, who had attacked him, "Liu Xing, you..."

Before he could finish, Guan Hao fell to his knees and vanished in a flash of white light before Zhang Yi and Han Yaru.

Liu Xing's face twisted into a sinister grin, as if he were a different person, "Sorry, brother..."

With the agility of an Assassin, Liu Xing then lunged at the Archer Han Feng, pinning him to the ground and stabbing his neck repeatedly. Blood splattered as Han Feng's health bar emptied, and he struggled briefly in a pool of blood before following Guan Hao into the white light.

"Brother!"

Han Yaru cried out in disbelief, staring at Liu Xing, who had killed Guan Hao and Han Feng, "What are you doing! Why did you kill Guan Hao and my brother!"

Before Liu Xing could respond, the players of King's World seemed to receive an order to cease their attack. Then, applause broke out, "Well done!"

From the crowd, King's Glory emerged, smiling at the crazed Liu Xing, "Well done, Liu Xuande. From today on, you're one of us in King's World!"

Picking up a piece of chainmail that dropped from Han Feng's body, Liu Xing stood up and walked to King's Glory's side, grinning, "Thank you, Captain. I'll do my best for the team and won't let you down!"

Han Yaru understood everything, "You... betrayed us and joined King's World..."

Liu Xing, now a completely different person, sneered coldly, "Otherwise, how do you think King's World knew Zhang Yi was here?"

Han Yaru stared at Liu Xing in disbelief, "So it was you who leaked the information... Why did you do it!"

Liu Xing laughed coldly, his eyes full of indifference, "Don't you understand? In this world of survival of the fittest, brotherhood is nothing compared to staying alive."

"King's World had already declared in the district that anyone with Yinuo Qingcheng is an enemy of King's World. I warned Haozi and your brother, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on helping Zhang Yi." Liu Xing said, "Can we really stand against King's World? Staying with Zhang Yi is a dead end."

Pausing, Liu Xing continued, "So I added Yao Ge as a friend, told him I knew Yinuo Qingcheng, and Yao Ge said if I gave him Yinuo Qingcheng's location, he'd give me a chance to join King's World."

The "Yao Ge" Liu Xing referred to was King's Glory.

Liu Xing then deliberately asked King's Glory, "Yao Ge, did I do well?"

"More than well, it was excellent!" King's Glory chuckled, "I only asked you to give me Yinuo Qingcheng's location, but you even killed your two good brothers for me. Amazing! You didn't hesitate to kill your own brothers, and I like talents like you! Hahaha!"

At this moment, Han Yaru was utterly shocked, while Zhang Yi appeared calm, as if Liu Xing's betrayal didn't surprise him at all.

Having experienced betrayal by his best friend and lover, Liu Xing's betrayal seemed almost expected to Zhang Yi.

Seeing Zhang Yi's calm demeanor, Liu Xing was a bit surprised, "Why are you so calm?"

Ignoring Liu Xing, Zhang Yi focused on Han Yaru, who was crouched on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly. He said coldly, "You have one more choice. Join them and become my enemy, and you can avoid dying at their hands."

He thought Han Yaru would make the same choice as Liu Xing for survival.

Unexpectedly, Han Yaru stood up.

"Then I choose to die with you."
