“Fool…you’re full of openings!” At this point in the battle, Lu Bu, the man known as "Ghost and God," finally revealed his ferocious fangs.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Fengxian shot up from the ground, his figure transforming into a streak of dark light. His halberd unleashed a violent attack, striking upwards into the sky…

This attack possessed the force of a tornado, capable of shaking mountains and rivers. Nothing could survive in its path…

*Beep beep beep*—

Instantly, Sabo's battle power scanner reacted. The number displayed to him was…50,000.

"Nani!" Sabo exclaimed in shock, still gathering energy for his attack. "What's going on…impossible!"

Even before Lu Bu's attack landed, everyone watching, including Sabo himself, could see…the outcome was decided.

Just now, Sabo had endured a round of attacks from Feng and Lu in order to escape their encirclement and ascend into the sky. In his view, this was a good way to "exchange injuries for a better position," but in reality…this choice was fatal.

Because…Feng Bujue had seen through everything…

At the beginning of the fight, Brother Jue had hinted to Lu Bu – to save all his trump cards and fight with his most basic, standard skills.

He did this for two reasons: first, to "conserve strength" for the later battle against Orochi; second…to mislead Sabo, causing him to misjudge Lu Bu's true fighting ability.

After that, Brother Jue took advantage of the fact that "aliens can't fully understand verbal cues" and directly coordinated with Lu Bu through language.

In fact, experts can quickly establish rapport, much faster than novices…Take dancing as an example: if you get a group of professional dancers to choreograph a dance, they can probably finish it in an hour or two; but if you get a group of amateurs, it might take half a day or even a whole day, and the result might not be good.

Brother Jue and Lu Bu were naturally experts, and they weren't like Yanagi Kenkage…who had trained a set of skills that couldn't be coordinated with anyone else; therefore, under Feng Bujue's guidance, the sword and halberd complemented each other. With each contributing seventy percent of their power, they had already gained the upper hand.

Next came the practical stage…

When Feng and Lu began to cooperate, Sabo's "lure and harass" strategy was completely ruined. If he could have calmed down and thought of another way, he might have been able to save his life. Unfortunately…his violent nature was also within Brother Jue's calculations…

Feng Bujue had been waiting for Sabo to "resort to desperate measures." As soon as the latter was about to launch a final counterattack, Brother Jue reacted immediately…

Prepared and possessing zero-time-difference calculation ability, Feng Bujue skillfully used [Must Break Defense Blade] to damage Sabo's combat suit to the greatest extent possible within his capabilities…and left several wounds on his body.

To put it in perspective…Brother Jue was like an ant making holes in a dam. Perhaps it was the giant wave that ultimately broke the dam, but as the saying goes…a thousand-mile dike collapses due to an anthill. It was because of this previous groundwork, accumulating little by little, accumulating advantages into victory…that the inevitable opportunity for a kill appeared before them.

At this moment, Sabo, who was condensing energy in his palm, no longer had any extra energy to protect his body.

His stance was lost, his attack was not ready, his heart was panicked, and he was completely unguarded…

In addition…Lu Bu's sudden burst of power also greatly exceeded Sabo's expectations. He had thought that Lu Bu's speed was nothing special, but he didn't expect that when the other party got a little serious, he could launch attacks so fast that he couldn't even react…

"Ah—" Facing the unavoidable, unstoppable attack, Sabo shouted one of the most common final words of villains in the Dragon Ball universe, "BAkAnA!" (Japanese pronunciation of "impossible"!)

Figures flashed, the halberd rose.

Flesh and blood shattered, the killing intent vanished.

"Hahahaha…" After tearing his opponent apart, Lu Bu laughed wildly, spinning once in the sky before stepping on Battle Qi and landing suddenly.

"The performance is over. Feng Bujue, Lu Bu, challenge successful." The arena statue announced the result in a tone devoid of emotion.

This seemed like a good thing, but…not a single one of the spectators under the arena showed a joyful expression.

Because they all understood that Sabo's death likely meant…the arrival of Orochi.

In every sense, Orochi was a very trustworthy guy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he kept his word. Since he had promised earlier…that he would come down personally after Sabo was defeated, there was a 99% chance that he really would.

"Lu Bu…" After a moment, the Demon King's terrifying demonic voice came from the sky, "Your performance was good. You did not disappoint this King…"

"Humph…" On the arena, Lu Bu raised his halberd with one arm, pointed it at the sky, and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, Orochi…" An incomparably excited light flashed in his eyes, "As the ultimate prey, I'll enjoy you!"

"Heh heh haha…" Hearing this, Orochi's multiple voices let out bursts of strange laughter. The laughter, which was pleasant yet contained a hint of disdain, calm yet contained a trace of helplessness, drifted across Musou Plains… The complex emotions contained in the laughter seemed to be telling of the Demon King's sense of "loneliness at the top."

"Heh…very well…" Orochi laughed and continued, "Anyway, the Martial Arts Tournament has been held for several days, and basically all the strong people in this space have been gathered…"

He paused for two seconds at this point. During these two seconds, a stream of demonic energy gushed down from the rift in the sky where Koshi Castle was located, striking the center of the arena.

In the blink of an eye, the wind and clouds changed, and black light rose sharply.

An invisible pressure fell on the shoulders of everyone present.

The Demon King…had descended!

"Strong ones…" Orochi's tall figure finally appeared before everyone, "Come and challenge me!"

As the words fell, his [Mujian] in his hand flicked slightly, and a stream of demonic energy shot out, easily shattering the barrier around the arena into pieces…

[Current Task has been changed, Main Task has been updated] At this moment, a system notification…rang in the players' ears.

Seven Kills, Little Tan, and Ruo Yu, the three people who were originally standing together watching the battle, all made a very consistent first reaction – they immediately jumped away from the other two.

After ensuring that they would not be attacked suddenly, they opened the game menu and looked at the task bar…

The original main task [Win the Martial Arts Tournament] had now disappeared, replaced by…two new tasks: [Join the Orochi, Frieza, or Di Shitian camp, and survive until at least one side wins] and [Become the only surviving player in the scenario].
