Chapter 252 The minority obeys the majority
Shen Cheng resisted and retreated, but was still surrounded by the ever-growing limbs and torsos, and the situation was precarious.

"Get away."

Yi Xu's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Shen Cheng did not hesitate. He directly used his telekinesis and gravity to make his body sink quickly, breaking through Gong Ye Si's encirclement and falling to the ground like a meteor.

Yi Xu raised his right hand high. A few meters above his palm, there was a ball of light floating there. The ball was emitting dazzling light and contained extremely terrifying energy.

The soil on the ground rose into the air as if attracted by a powerful gravitational force, forming gray-black mudslides that continuously poured into the sphere and were dissolved by the high temperature inside.

Yi Xu is a person with chaos-type abilities who can manipulate all matter, and air is naturally a type of matter.

He compressed and rubbed the air and soil to a high degree, creating an energy ball under extremely high temperature and pressure. Fang Wei used her abilities to help the energy ball gain more energy.

At this moment, this energy sphere is like a little sun, emitting strong light that directly illuminates the dark night.

Gongye thought of stopping the danger as thousands of heads and arms shot towards Yi Xu. For a moment, they blocked out the sky and made it impossible to tell how many there were.

Yi Xu suddenly threw the energy ball floating in his hand towards Gong Ye Si.

The energy sphere emitting strong light was like a flying sun, sinking into the head and arms that covered the sky.

The light of the energy ball was obscured for a moment, and then an even stronger light burst out.

In an instant, a sun that seemed to fall to the earth appeared in the sight of everyone present.

Its diameter exceeded fifty meters, illuminating the entire dark night sky.

More than half of Gongye Si's huge body was in this sun, and his flesh and blood was directly vaporized by the energy with extremely high temperature.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the sun exploded on the spot. The vision of everyone present was turned white by the strong light and nothing could be seen.

The terrifying shock wave swept in all directions with the explosion, destroying everything in its path. Large tracts of vegetation on the ground were uprooted and ignited and burned by the high temperature in the air.

Rumble!
The earth was shaking violently like an earthquake, and the aftermath was transmitted along the surface for dozens of kilometers, disturbing countless animals that lived in the mountains and forests at night.

The bright light disappeared quickly, but the ground was still shaking.

Shen Cheng opened his eyes and saw a scene that looked like hell.

There was still an orange-red light in the air, and countless ashes fell from the sky like snowflakes. The explosion scraped off a thick layer of soil from the ground, and the ground was burned red by the high temperature.

At the center of the explosion, a large circular pit with a diameter of nearly 50 meters appeared. The surface was a glass-like substance left after sand and gravel were melted by high temperature. The overall look was like the scene produced by a small meteorite hitting the ground.

Shen Cheng estimated the power of this energy ball based on its destructive force and found that it had far exceeded Cheng Mi's original trick of releasing the energy in his body. Its power was even stronger than a small tactical nuclear bomb.

After all, it was an attack created jointly by two top masters, Yi Xu and Fang Wei, and it had definitely reached the threshold of an ace.

The two instigators were nearly blown away by the shock wave of the explosion and now rushed back in a somewhat embarrassed state.

On the other side, Bi Lei, who had just been torn into pieces, also condensed into a human form again, with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.

If it weren't for Shen Cheng's help, he would have almost fallen into Gong Ye Si's hands and been forcibly absorbed by him.

Later, he didn't have time to run away from the energy ball created by Yi Xu and Fang Wei, and was hit hard, losing a lot of source blood.

The four came to the edge of the pit and found a mass of flesh and blood still wriggling at the bottom of the pit.

Even after being hit head-on by such a powerful energy ball, Gongye Si was not dead yet.

Not only did he not die, he also maintained master-level combat prowess.

A large number of heads and arms once again grew out of the twisted flesh and blood, shooting towards the four people standing on the edge of the pit.

"give it to me."

Bi Lei said this angrily, and his arms suddenly swelled up and turned into a pair of huge claws that almost dragged on the ground.

He leaped forward and pounced towards the bottom of the pit, waving a pair of huge claws. Countless crescent-shaped claw shadows flashed in the air, cutting into pieces all the heads and arms that came over.

Bi Lei's fighting ability was not weaker than Gongye Si's, but he was caught off guard and was taken advantage of by Gongye Si just now, and he almost lost.

Now that Gongye Si has suffered a serious blow, he will certainly not miss the opportunity to give the fallen dog a beating.

Shen Cheng and the other two did not participate, but instead stared at the twisted mass of flesh and blood at the bottom of the pit.

"Why did Gongye Si become like this?"

Fang Wei asked with some disgust. She remembered that Gong Ye Si's ability was to burn blood to increase his own strength. How come he suddenly started to grow so many heads and arms?
Yi Xu is much older than Fang Wei and has more experience than her: "This should be the sequelae of life-type ability users."

Shen Cheng nodded slowly, agreeing with Yi Xu's statement.

Each type of ability has side effects, but they vary from person to person.

Shen Cheng found out later that most of the after-effects can be overcome through willpower and are rarely manifested. Only some extreme people will always have after-effects, such as those with guardian-type abilities who cannot attack others.

Life-type ability users have the least aftereffects. Shen Cheng has only seen it in other people’s memories and has never seen it with his own eyes.

Now Gongye Si personally demonstrated what the aftereffects of life-type abilities are.

He couldn't control the power in his body, so he started to grow crooked.

If left alone, Gongye Si would uncontrollably transform himself into all sorts of strange life forms.

Moreover, this change is irreversible; he can never return to human form.

Shen Cheng was very glad that he had mastered so many abilities and had no side effects, otherwise God knew what kind of monster he would have turned into.

However, there are exceptions. He is now constantly suffering from the aftereffects of the power of nothingness, and he is in the same situation as Gongye Si.

The battle is finally over.

It wasn't that Bi Lei won, but the duration of Gong Ye Si's true form had expired, and he fell into a state of depression and weakness.

But he did not return to his human form, and remained a twisted mass of flesh and blood, with his head and limbs lying limply on the ground.

"I am not the murderer..."

Every head of Gongye Si was making a weak sound, defending himself: "I am not the murderer..."

Bi Lei stood at the bottom of the pit, looking down at the ugly, twisted mass of flesh in front of him, a glimmer of pity in his eyes.

Although he and Gongye Si had always been scheming against each other and wary of each other, they had been allies for many years after all.

If that adult had not spoken, Bi Lei would never have betrayed Gong Ye Si, his only ally.

Now seeing Gong Ye Si meet with such an end, Bi Lei felt a sense of sadness as if the rabbit died and the fox mourned.

"I know you're not the murderer."

Bi Lei whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "But it's meaningless to say this now."

"You know I'm not the murderer?"

Gongye Si suddenly perked up. He raised his head and shouted to Shen Cheng and the other two standing at the edge of the pit: "Did you three hear that? Old Biden said he knows I'm not the murderer!"

Shen Cheng and the other two said nothing, silently watching Gong Ye Si who was still struggling to death. Seeing the reactions of the three, Gong Ye Si's eyes flashed with surprise, he already understood something.

"Hehehe, that's it."

Gongye Si laughed creepily: "Catching the murderer is just an excuse. The four of you have been secretly colluding for a long time. The only purpose tonight is to get rid of me, right? It's ridiculous that I'm still explaining it to you..."

At this point, Gongye Si was unable to change his habit of imagining things. He did not understand, or was unwilling to understand, that it was his own greed that caused him to fall into the trap on behalf of the murderer.

Shen Cheng and others just took the opportunity to get rid of him.

"You sons of bitches..."

Regardless of his weak state, Gongye Si once again pounced towards Bi Lei who was standing nearest, opening his bloody mouth.

brush!
Bi Lei waved his claws and cut the heads and necks into pieces.

Then he took a step forward and stabbed his claw into Gongye Si's body. When he pulled it out again, a large ball of blood compressed into a ball was also drawn out.

Gongye Si's body immediately deflated like an empty shell.

"Ahhh!"

Gongye Si's voice roared in the blood ball.

He is not dead yet unless someone consumes all of his source blood or absorbs him whole.

However, the way he is now, he won't cause any trouble unless others deliberately let him go.

Bi Lei held the blood ball in his hand, a glimmer of desire in his eyes.

This ball of blood is a mixture of Gongye Si's source blood and eternal blood. After absorbing it, one will definitely be able to break through from a top master to an ace in strength.

But no matter how much he desired it, Bi Lei did not dare to absorb it, because the eternal blood in his body had reached a critical point, and all aspects of his personality began to be affected.

Before overcoming the aftereffects, he would never dare to absorb another drop of Eternal Blood.

But not absorbing it does not mean handing over the Eternal Blood.

Bi Lei looked up at Yi Xu and Shen Cheng, while Shen Cheng and the other two were also looking down at him.

How to decide who this blood belongs to? If not handled properly, it is very likely to trigger a new battle.

"Haha, fight and snatch."

Gong Ye Si's angry roar gradually became weaker: "I will watch with my own eyes that you will suffer the same fate as me. Don't forget, the real murderer is among the four of you!"

No one responded to Gong Ye Si's words. He was the first to be eliminated, but that doesn't mean his words didn't make sense.

The real murderer is among the remaining four.

Maybe it's someone else?

The four of them remained silent until Yi Xu took the initiative to break the silence: "How should we deal with this eternal blood?"

Bi Lei immediately put forward his original statement: "This is the asset of the Red Banquet. Of course, it must remain in the Red Banquet. No one can take it away."

When he said this, his eyes were looking at Shen Cheng intentionally or unintentionally. It was obvious who he was targeting.

If it was Zhu Jing's eternal blood, Shen Cheng might still be able to claim ownership of it, but now it was Gong Ye Si's eternal blood and had nothing to do with him at all.

"I agree to leave the Eternal Blood at the Red Dinner."

Shen Cheng, who was thought to be strongly opposed, actually agreed.

Not to mention Bi Lei, even Yi Xu and Fang Wei were surprised by Shen Cheng's reaction and turned to look at him.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Shen Cheng spread his hands: "Am I not a member of the Red Dinner?"

Yi Xu and Fang Wei were startled for a moment before they reacted.

That’s right, Shen Cheng is also a member of the Bright Red Dinner Party, and he is also the branch director. His status is no lower than that of their vice presidents.

It’s just that the separation between the headquarters and branches has always made everyone subconsciously treat him as an outsider.

Bi Lei's face darkened: "I said to leave the Eternal Blood at the headquarters."

"I can also stay at the headquarters."

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Your headquarters is so short of staff right now, is it okay for me to stay and take up the position? To be honest, I don't want to leave after I come here this time."

Bi Lei couldn't help but curse Shen Cheng for being shameless.

Not only does he want the Eternal Blood, he even wants to seize the position of vice president of the headquarters.

Do you treat this place as a public toilet and you can come here whenever you want?
If Shen Cheng were allowed to stay, the outsiders in the Red Banquet would completely overwhelm the locals, and he would be unable to handle the situation alone.

Without waiting for Bi Lei to object, Yi Xu spoke up and agreed: "I agree to let Zhong Yun take over Zhu Jing's position."

He must be hoping that Shen Cheng could stay at the headquarters.

"Don't talk about whether these are useful or not."

Fang Wei was very impatient: "Just follow the previous practice and divide Gongye Si's eternal blood."

In the past, if the headquarters obtained the Eternal Blood, the convention was to take out a small portion as a reward to the senior executives who worked below, and the rest would be divided up by this group of vice presidents.

That is why each of them is able to accumulate the Eternal Blood to the point where they dare not absorb any more.

"Okay, let's do as Fang Wei says."

Yi Xu also immediately agreed with Fang Wei's opinion. If they divided it equally, everyone would benefit equally. Even if some people were dissatisfied, it would not be serious enough to overturn the table.

Shen Cheng also said: "I have no objection. As a new member of the headquarters, I firmly abide by the decision of the minority obeying the majority."

Bi Lei almost vomited blood.

You shameless guy, I haven't agreed to let you stay yet, how can you still call yourself a new member of the headquarters?

However, Yi Xu and Fang Wei were very satisfied with Shen Cheng's statement, and they all looked at Bi Lei.

The current number of people is three to one. It is useless for Bi Lei to oppose. If he does not know what is good for him, he might become the second Gong Ye Si.

At this moment, Bi Lei could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have any objection either."

He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had not betrayed Gong Ye Si, he would not have ended up in such a weak and helpless situation now.

No, betraying Gongye Si was the order of that lord, and it was impossible to refuse.

When he thought of the adult's support, the anger in Bi Lei's heart quickly disappeared, and he looked at Shen Cheng and the other two as if he was looking at a clown.

Just keep dancing and see who has the last laugh.
