1475 End of the Faction War

Seeing how nobody dared to approach him, Yuan approached them himself.

"T-that fucking monster! How does he still have the energy to do that kind of stuff?!" the players who were swatted like flies all spat out some blood after spending a few moments on the ground groaning in pain.

"More like, where is he even getting the energy to do that when we can't use our powerful techniques because of the lack of spiritual energy in the air?!"

"Leader, what should we do now?"

Xu Boqin clenched his teeth and fists until they bled.

"I refuse to believe that he's not exhausted after all that! He must be running low! We still have plenty of players to spare, too!"

He raised his voice and continued, "Do not fear! He's definitely running out of energy! It's only a matter of time! Whoever brings down Player Yuan will receive a million dollars and a Heaven-rank cultivation technique!"

Hearing this, the players roared and started charging at him again, their eyes raging with determination.

"This is more like it!" Yuan laughed out loud as he continued his dance with the Fiery Locust Swarm players.

Ten minutes… twenty minutes… thirty minutes…

As time passed, the players began doubting whether Yuan was really tired, much less exhausted.

His movements remained fluid, and his breathing steady, mirroring the calmness he exhibited when the fight initially began.

"Leader… when is he going to run out of energy…?" the Spirit Grandmasters, waiting for their turn to strike, asked.

"We're down to 15,000 players… At this rate…"

"Take 5,000 players and charge through the line! My name is not Xu Boqin if he can stop you!" he commanded.

"Yes!"

Thus, the Spirit Grandmasters gathered 5,000 players from the rear of the formation and made another attempt to cross the line.

When Wang Bingbing and Shi Lang saw this, they prepared to intercept them.

Yet again, just as these players were on the verge of crossing the line, an invisible force constrained their movements, thwarting their advance.

"It's okay! Don't panic! He won't be able to restrict our movements for much longer!" Xu Boqin shouted.

Yuan looked at him and smiled, "Do you want to put that theory to the test? After all, we still have plenty of time left for our match."

After saying those words, he took a seat on the ground and closed his eyes.

"Looks like Player Yuan has used the mysterious technique to restrict his enemy's movements again! But why isn't he doing anything?"

A few minutes later, Yan Xiaoxiao seemed to have realized something and commented, "I think Player Yuan is trying to tell the Fiery Locust Swarm something—that he could do this all day if he wanted! As expected of Player Yuan! His confidence and arrogance are simply off the chart! But let's see how long he can truly last! Surely, that technique consumes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy!"

Ten minutes later.

"Fuck! How much longer do we have to stay like this?! My butt is itchy, but I cannot relieve it!"

"Who said he was getting exhausted?! What a load of bullshit!"

"Leader! Please do something about this!"

With each passing moment of their movement being restricted by Yuan, the anxiety among the Fiery Locust Swarm players surged, intensifying their sense of unease.

"Player Yuan! How long do you plan on messing with us?! Fight us fair and square!" Xu Boqin roared at him.

Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Xu Boqin.

"Fair and square? That's funny coming from you. And if I don't mess with you a little, our match would've ended the moment it started," he said as he stood up and approached Xu Boqin.

"B-bullshit!"

Yuan stopped in front of him and sneered, "Bullshit? I could've easily destroyed all of your badges in the last ten minutes instead of doing nothing."

He raised his hand and gently poked Xu Boqin's badge with his sword.

"I could've eliminated all of you with my first move."

He lowered his sword and asked, "Do you know why I didn't?"

"W-why…?" Xu Boqin asked in a trembling voice.

"Because I wanted to enjoy something before it ceases to exist."

"Huh? What are you even talking about?" Xu Boqin wore a puzzled frown on his face.

Little did he know that following this match, Yuan would create a formation enabling players to unleash their full strength without the looming fear of inadvertently causing harm to one another, which would inevitably change Faction Wars completely. Thus, he decided to enjoy it a little before that happened.

"You'll understand it soon—or not, since you'll be prohibited from participating in any future matches for using performance-enhancing drugs."

"Anyways, I guess it's about time I wrap this up. It was fun at the beginning, but I'm getting bored and do not want to look like a bully."

The following moment, Yuan deactivated Heavenly Domain and used Ten Thousand Ghost Blades to clone his dagger to the technique's limit of 10,000.

As ten thousand daggers ominously hovered above the battlefield, exuding a menacing aura, the Fiery Locust Swarm players hesitated to make a move despite having regained their ability to do so.

Seconds later, the daggers descended with swift and brutal precision, resulting in a scene that could only be described as a merciless massacre.

In the blink of an eye, 10,000 players were eliminated.

After another blink, the remaining players were also eliminated, with just one player remaining.

"I'll give you a chance," Yuan said as he looked at Xu Boqin, who wore a look of disbelief on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't use any techniques."

Xu Boqin gritted his teeth, his grip on his weapon tightening as he charged fiercely at Yuan.

A few seconds later, in less than 10 exchanges, Yuan sent Xu Boqin tumbling face-first to the ground.

"Is this the best you can do after stuffing your face with treasures and performance-enhancing drugs? Even the weakest member of Eternal Lotuses lasted longer than you. How disappointing."

Yuan threw his sword at Xu Boqin, shattering the badge around his waist and putting an end to their match.
