Lu Hao finally reacted, took a step forward, and raised his hand.
But as the 'Divine Format' detached from his body... his body was on the verge of collapse. The Invisible Blade hadn't even been used, and instead, he coughed up a huge mouthful of blood.
Lu Hao covered his mouth with his hand, staggered forward a few steps, vomiting blood, while shouting like a madman: "Gong Yan! Chai Guang!——Stop her! Stop her!! Quickly!!!"
"Chai Guang!!!"
The mature woman with a peony tattoo on her face screamed at these words and immediately rushed towards the dagger.
But Wu You shifted aside, blocking her path.
"Get out!!!"
Gong Yan saw Wu You and screamed again, the peony flower on her face seemed to come alive and began to bloom.
Her speed increased once more.
She was about to surpass Wu You.
But the next second.
Ugh——
Wu You's eyes turned azure blue, and he directly punched Gong Yan in the stomach.
He forcibly stopped her.
Gong Yan suddenly stopped, retched, and hunched over Wu You's fist.
"I'm not good at fighting, but that's only compared to Lu Hao. I can even barely guess the position of the invisible blade. Do you think you're harder to predict than your boss?"
Wu You tilted his head, looking down at Gong Yan with a sinister smile: "I stood here to prevent your boss from becoming desperate. Do you really think you're that strong?"
"..."
Gong Yan's breath hitched, and she suddenly looked up.
But in the next second, a cold sensation spread across her temple.
Her body froze, and her pupils slowly moved to see Wu You's other hand and... a semi-automatic pistol.
"Go to hell."
Bang——
A splash of crimson appeared.
Thick blood sprayed out of the other side of Gong Yan's temple, splattering in the air, finally landing on Wu You's cold face.

"Chai Guang!! Stop him!!! Li Tian! Restrain Xia Panqiu! Restrain her! Or I'll kill you!!!"
Lu Hao saw this scene, coughed up blood, suddenly turned his head towards Li Tian, and shouted.
Li Tian sat on the ground, looking at Lu Hao's face twisted beyond recognition, the blood spray accompanying his roar, trembling all over, instinctively raised his hand.
"Restrain..."
On the other end of the bridge.
Xia Panqiu slowly exhaled, looked up slowly, watching the man charging towards her like a mad bull, seeing the dagger flying towards her, and just as Li Tian spat out the first word, she directly released her grip, letting the dagger fall to the ground.
In the next second.
The restraint took effect.
She was forced to stand straight, her hands bound behind her back.
"..."
Xia Panqiu sniffed, tears lingering at the corner of her eyes, her gaze crossed Lu Hao to look at Chen Lusi on the ground, and she whispered: "Go to the Yellow Springs and chase your dream of strength!"
"Xia Panqiu——"
Lu Hao realized something, reached out his hand, summoned all his strength, and shouted out loud.
But that was all he could do.
Xia Panqiu executed a beautiful spin on the spot, lifted her right leg, and with a knee strike, fiercely struck the end of the freely falling dagger handle.
Gravity took over.
The short dagger accelerated instantly, thrusting forward.
It pierced through Chai Guang's throat in an instant.
And the exposed blade tip just happened to collide with Lu Hao's 'Divine Format'.
Clang.
Sparks faintly erupted in the air
Lu Hao's 'Divine Format' split into two.
[Ancient System, Kunpeng extends Level 2 Authority—Cloud Ascension!]
"Ugh——uh——"
Lu Hao stared blankly as his 'Divine Format' was split in two, opened his mouth, and staggered back a few steps.
Then.
Ugh——
He coughed up another large mouthful of blue blood.
But the originally azure blue blood, after being expelled, quickly lost its color, reverting to the purest crimson.
The spirits that dyed his blood blue were rapidly stripping away from the blood, turning into countless glimmers, drifting away in the wind.
Seeing this scene, Lu Hao coughed up another large mouthful of blood, his legs gave out, and he fell directly beside Chen Lusi.
Why?
With only one last breath left, Lu Hao couldn't understand. He struggled to look at Chen Lusi lying not far away, leaving only one thought—why!!! Why him too!!!
At this moment.
It seemed to notice his gaze.
Chen Lusi struggled to turn his head, exchanging a glance with him.
Lu Hao's lips moved weakly, as if trying to say something.
But Chen Lusi twitched the corner of his mouth, gasped, and softly said: "Self-righteous."
"..."
Lu Hao's eyes widened suddenly, unable to catch his breath, he died with a grievance.
This person, once hailed by Celestial Strategy's high ranks as the "biggest threat of the future" and "once-in-a-century genius," died just like that in an unknown small town.
