Chapter 255 True Dragon and Divine Phoenix Sell Themselves Together, Elder Li's Mouth Twists wi
As Lu Sheng pressed down with his finger, a dark golden ripple spread across the sheepskin scroll.
This scene was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of all the survivors who were still hesitating.
That arrogant "true dragon," who regarded the path to immortality as his own backyard, signed so readily.
There was even a hint of impatience.
The psychological impact of this scene was even more effective than Li Xiaoyao's earlier threats.
The crowd, which had been hesitant, began to stir, and hundreds of eyes turned to the fiery red figure standing not far from Lu Sheng.
That was the last line of psychological defense.
Luo Tianfei stood still, the purple divine fire surrounding her flickering, a sign of extreme emotional instability.
She stared intently at Lu Sheng.
That bastard had his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky with an arrogant expression, his nonchalant demeanor clearly saying: If you can't handle it, don't play. The door's behind you, goodbye.
Click.
Luo Tianfei could even hear the sound of her back molars grinding together.
If you don't sign and just walk away, you do preserve your so-called freedom.
But in doing so, Luo Tianfei would become a coward who was scared off by him, a deserter in this game.
The word "admit defeat" does not exist in the dictionary of the Immortal Phoenix.
Even if there's a pit of fire ahead, as long as this bastard dares to jump, she'll jump in after him and trample him under her feet at the bottom!
"snort!"
A cold snort, tinged with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Luo Tianfei flipped her wrist, forcing out a drop of essence blood burning with blazing golden flames from her fingertip.
call out!
The blood droplet pierced the air like a miniature meteor, crashing violently into the ancient parchment scroll in mid-air.
At that moment, her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Lu Sheng.
Want to get rid of me? Dream on!
Om-!
The ancient scroll trembled, and a clear and resounding phoenix cry soared into the sky, intertwining with the previous domineering dragon roar, creating a strange rhythm of dragon and phoenix in harmony.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Li Xiaoyao's wrinkled old face instantly relaxed, and he smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared.
This wave of profits is huge.
The true dragon enters the urn, and the divine phoenix returns to its nest.
With these two extraordinary geniuses, the Qi calculation of Ascension Island for the next thousand years is stable.
The old man waved his hand, carefully putting away the ancient scroll as if it were a precious treasure, and then turned to face the dense crowd of more than nine hundred people.
The speed at which they changed their tune was astonishing.
The kind, elder-like face vanished instantly, replaced by extreme indifference and impatience, as if he had just finished viewing a jewelry exhibition and was now cleaning up the trash at the door.
"Three breaths."
Li Xiaoyao held up three withered fingers, his voice devoid of any warmth: "Sign, or get out."
There was no appeasement, no empty promises.
This is blatant class oppression.
Before Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei, he was a guide eager for talent; before these people, he was the Spirit King who held the power of life and death.
The crowd's last psychological defense collapsed.
"I'll sign! Don't kick me out!"
"What does it matter if I'm a dog, as long as I can become stronger? In this chaotic world, the weak don't even have the right to be dogs!"
"I'll sign too!"
Panic spread like a virus.
More than 900 powerful figures who once commanded the winds and rains in their respective seas are now scrambling to expel their life essence, fearing that if they are even a second late, they will be kicked out of the game.
The parchment scroll that represented "selling oneself" had become their lifeline.
of course there are exceptions.
Among the crowd, dozens of figures stood out from the crowd.
Most of them were local tyrants or ruthless individuals accustomed to working alone.
Making them surrender their souls and have their lives in someone else's hands is worse than killing them.
"Feel sorry."
A powerful drowned warrior, exuding a murderous aura, stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Li Xiaoyao, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm used to the wilderness and can't stand such constraints. This opportunity... I'm not worthy of it."
After saying that, he turned and left, his back view desolate yet exuding a sense of determination.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining thirty or forty people gritted their teeth, accepted the basic resource package that was called "dismissal" but was actually "charity," and stepped onto the teleportation array without looking back, leaving this holy land that countless people dreamed of.
Lu Sheng watched the whole thing with a cold eye.
He didn't think these people had backbone, nor did he think those who stayed lacked dignity.
In this messed-up apocalypse, whether you choose to live on your knees or die standing is a personal choice.
only……
Lacking the power to overturn the table, yet still clinging to that pitiful sense of self-respect.
Lu Sheng sneered inwardly.
Such people are often the quickest to die when faced with the abyss.
dignity?
That's based on having a strong enough fist to beat the opponent into begging for mercy.
Like him.
He signed the harshest contract, exploited the biggest loopholes, and still has to be treated like royalty by these old men.
That's real skill.
"It's better that they left; it saves the island's resources."
Li Xiaoyao didn't even lift his eyelids, and with a wave of his sleeve, it was as if he was shooing away a few annoying flies.
He turned to the beautiful elder who had been waiting beside him: "Lingyao, these nine hundred-plus people are yours. Take them to the outer side hall, distribute supplies according to the Class C standard, and register them."
"Tell them not to be too happy just because they've entered the island. Outside the gate, trash is still trash. Unless they can climb into the inner gate, they'll never see me again in their lifetime."
"Yes."
Lingyao bowed slightly, a professional smile on her still charming face.
With a gentle wave of her hand, a powerful spiritual wind swept up, directly enveloping the more than nine hundred "ordinary geniuses" with complex expressions, their eyes filled with either relief or humiliation, and rushing them towards the other end of the teleportation array.
In the blink of an eye, the once crowded white jade platform became empty.
Only four people remained.
Lu Sheng, Luo Tianfei, and two other top-tier prodigies who, although not yet at the extreme level, had still managed to climb to over 800 levels.
Even the air felt much fresher.
Li Xiaoyao turned around and looked at the four remaining offspring. His cold, hard old face melted away like ice and snow, and he smiled as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"As for you..."
He glanced at the red-haired, burly man beside him who was already impatient and stomping his feet loudly on the floor.
"Xingtian, prepare for battle."
"Take these little guys to see what our real assets are."
"Alright!"
Elder Xingtian grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, a smile that exuded a wildness.
He didn't perform any complicated incantations or movements; instead, his body's blood and energy, as violent as a volcano, suddenly surged.
boom!
A surge of energy, purely condensed from azure spiritual energy, spread out from beneath his feet like a tangible silk ribbon, instantly engulfing Lu Sheng, Luo Tianfei, and the other three.
"rise!"
Lu Sheng felt his feet lighten and his whole body was instantly lifted into the air.
He instinctively tried to mobilize the power of the Dragon God to maintain balance, but found that the azure spiritual source was terrifyingly stable, like a giant hand gently and firmly supporting everyone.
Is this the control of a Spirit King?
Lu Sheng's dark golden pupils narrowed slightly.
Xing Tian may seem like a brute who only knows how to kill, but in reality, his control over power has reached a point of returning to simplicity.
The most terrifying thing is that someone who is rough around the edges yet meticulous in their work.
"Hold on tight! I drive really fast!"
Xing Tian let out a wild laugh, and he and Li Xiaoyao transformed into two dazzling streaks of light, carrying the four of them straight into the sky.
call out--!
A terrifying jolt of pressure swept over me, and the surrounding scenery was instantly blurred into thin lines.
The wind was as sharp as a knife; if it weren't for the protection of spiritual energy, its speed alone could have torn the skin off an ordinary person's face.
They were rushing towards the mysterious thick fog that had shrouded Dengxian Island year-round at an almost suicidal speed.
That wasn't ordinary fog.
That was a manifestation of a high-dimensional array, as dense as boiling milk, blocking all sight and divine thought.
Even with his Dragon Eyes activated, Lu Sheng's vision could only penetrate a hundred meters; beyond that, all he could see was a terrifying, white, chaotic void.
This formation... is pretty impressive.
Lu Sheng thought to himself.
Without guidance, even a level 10 expert would likely lose their way and perish trapped in the void.
"open!"
Ahead, Li Xiaoyao let out a low shout.
There were no fancy movements, only a burst of sword intent emanating from his fingertips.
Sizzle!
It was the crisp sound of fabric tearing.
The chaotic mist that was powerful enough to trap and kill a level ten expert was actually cleaved open by this finger, creating a wide road that reached the heavens!
light.
A blinding golden light instantly filled everyone's field of vision.
