Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

“No, listen to me. Your wounds are too serious. You’re also poisoned! If you don’t drink the antidote you’ll really die!” Wang Han wanted to cry. Why is he so determined? How could he say he is fine?

“Die?” Xiang Ning laughed and remained silent. If the poison really worked on me, I would’ve been dead ten minutes ago. He was indeed correct, as the poison merely increased his Experience Points.

But Wang Han interpreted Xiang Ning’s intention in another way. He thought that the boy wasn’t afraid of death. “Are you not afraid of dying?”

“Of course I’m afraid.” But Xiang Ning was still smiling. Smiling straight in the face of death, his bravado had touched everyone in Marsh City.

“Such an indomitable will.…”

“He must be someone with an incredible background!”

“I just checked! His name is Xiang Ning, and he came from Marsh City. He was… an orphan.”

“No wonder! He had nothing left to lose!”

The fight between the Kaiser Aurumsaur and Li Yunfei was still raging. Some of the viewers with sharp eyes noticed that the beast never even had a chance to move forward.

Wang Han no longer stopped Xiang Ning. Instead, he pointed his camera toward his back and sighed, “Even his knees are scraped.…”

Xiang Ning muttered something, as if he was acknowledging that his knees had been hurt in the clash with the Kaiser Aurumsaur. Luckily I won’t be moving around much.

“Phantom Knife Formation!” He waved his hands as twelve flying knives flew in unison. They arranged themselves around the beast, six above and six below. He focused and directed his Mental Power toward the Kaiser Aurumsaur, marking it as the target. All twelve flying knives responded and flew toward the beast from numerous directions with overwhelming speed and power.

Wang Han, and everyone else who was watching the livestream, almost couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“Crazy! What kind of grudge does he have against that beast? To think that he would burn his life force to control the flying knives!”

“Does he want to die?! He’s already heavily injured, and controlling two knives should’ve been his maximum! A tier three spiritual cultivator should be able to control twelve knives, tops! Is he trying to take down the Kaiser Aurumsaur without regard to his life?”

Everyone was in shock. Some of the viewers even commented that a tier three spiritual cultivator could control a maximum of twelve flying knives in one go, while a genius should be able to go up to fifteen. Xiang Ning was only an orphan, how could he have the resources and talent to cultivate? To them, he wasn’t a genius. They all thought that he was trying to win by sacrificing himself.

Thanks to Xiang Ning, the Kaiser Aurumsaur had been thrown off its tempo and could no longer attack or defend as it pleased. Li Yunfei was finally able to go all out without worrying about retaliation. His axe fell again and again as he chopped the Kaiser Aurumsaur like a madman. Blood splattered everywhere as the beast howled in pain.

It was the first time the beast felt the fear of death as the twelve flying knives completely sealed its movements and the human in front of it attacked without pause. It knew that if it went on, it would die. Thus, it chose to escape and broke through the formation with a single strike from its damaged tail. It ran away at full speed!

But how could Li Yunfei lose this chance?

“Demonic Cleave!” He unleashed his strongest attack as he leaped high into the sky. He brought his axe down in a crescent with devastating speed.

Thud!

A head flew high in the air and landed on the ground, its features frozen in fear and panic. It was the Kaiser Aurumsaur.

“They did it! They killed it! The two of them did it!”

“They killed the Kaiser Aurumsaur!”

While everyone was celebrating the victory against the fearsome beast, Xiang Ning suddenly collapsed, his head throbbing in pain.

“Oh shit! Are you alright?! Don’t die on me!” Wang Han tried shaking him so that he wouldn’t pass out.

Wang Han was well aware that as long as the patient was awake, their chances of recovery and resuscitation would be higher. If he were to fall unconscious here, there was a very big chance that he would die!

Xiang Ning wanted to slap Wang Han, but couldn’t even move his hand due to the headache. Stop shaking me, you bastard!

The Kaiser Aurumsaur was still at the peak of its species, how could it be killed so easily? Xiang Ning had gone all out in the final moments and directly controlled all twelve knives to slash at its neck, damaging it as much as possible. Without removing some of the scales, Li Yunfei’s attack might not have finished it.

As for the reason why he didn’t control the knives through the Phantom Knife Formation, that was because the other eleven knives were on autopilot and he wouldn’t be able to control them using the formation. Only he knew about that weakness.

Xiang Ning felt that his head was about to split apart due to the pain. The scales of the Kaiser Aurumsaur were too hard, and he had to use the maximum amount of Mental Power for each knife. Every single one of the knives was at least three times stronger and faster. That was why his Mental Power had been exhausted in just three seconds.

Li Yunfei ran toward them to check their condition. When he saw Xiang Ning, he blurted out, “Why are you still here?!”

Wang Han was angered when he heard that, and stood up to confront him even though he had just killed the beast with a single slash of his axe. “Fucker! He not only endured the poison and injury, but also exhausted his Mental Power just so you could kill the beast! How dare you!”

“Wait, are you saying that he was the one controlling the knives?”

“Are you trying to hog the achievement?!” Wang Han was truly angered, and so were the viewers. If it weren’t for Xiang Ning, the beast would’ve killed you instead!

“No, wait, listen to me. When did you see him? Was he wearing armor?” Li Yunfei was confused. He had been so focused on his battle with the Kaiser Aurumsaur that he didn’t even have a chance to pay attention to his surroundings.

“Yeah! He suffered a heavy blow to save me! He was so badly injured that he could no longer maintain the armor!”

“No wonder! He was already poisoned before this. I ordered him to go and take an antidote from my team, but to think that he hid his identity by wearing armor and stayed here instead! How could he be so rash?” Li Yunfei sighed.

Everyone who heard him could no longer contain their gasps. Is he… a legendary hero?

To everyone else, Xiang Ning was akin to a hero from the legends. Naturally, he didn’t know what everyone was talking about as his consciousness faded.
