Chapter 134: Chapter 55: The Final Battle

Dongfang Yi gasped, understanding the situation at hand.

They couldn’t let Louis know that they needed so many people to turn ’black’; otherwise, he would use that to threaten Gao Xin.

That was why others hadn’t shown up, including openly saying they would grind him to death as well as mentioning that there were many corpses here—all to make Louis think that, besides Gao Xin, most people were expendable.

But that alone wasn’t enough; Louis no longer had a way out.

"Are you going to duel with Louis? Are you confident?" everyone worried.

Gao Xin spoke thoughtfully, "Don’t worry, he’s barely holding on, at least Sofia is barely holding on..."

"Otherwise, he wouldn’t have contacted me voluntarily. I intentionally didn’t want to talk to him, just to make him lose patience."

"In his eyes, as long as I drag him down, I can survive."

"He doesn’t know that I definitely need so many of you to turn ’black’."

"Or rather, in his eyes, if a mutual destruction can’t take me down, then it’s all meaningless to him."

"And he will definitely not be willing to die just like that; he will go all out."

"However, I must turn ’black’ first, otherwise killing him would cause ’black’ to lose blood."

The crowd felt dizzy. Was Gao Xin really unwilling to shed even a drop of ’black’ blood?

Qiao Long asked, "But if we don’t kill Sofia, we can’t turn her, can we?"

Gao Xin lifted his head and said, "That’s for you to handle."

Having said that, he immediately started making arrangements as if he had already anticipated this.

Just as they were speaking, Louis indeed reconnected.

Gao Xin said impatiently, "What do you want?"

Louis panted heavily, "If I die, you won’t be able to enter the ’black’ base... No one will send out the invitation, and your teammates will also die."

Gao Xin calmly said, "That woman and that skinny guy, they are cannon fodder I brought. Otherwise, why do you think I’d form a team and bring two useless people?"

"Anyway, if you die, I’m sure to survive."

Seeing Gao Xin call himself useless, Dongfang Yi felt slightly depressed, but he also knew it was a deception for the other side.

"You bastard!" Louis indeed couldn’t stay calm.

Although his death would accompany a bunch of people, it was meaningless because Gao Xin was certain to survive—it was just a question of how many people would live.

Gao Xin wouldn’t budge; he had no choice anymore.

Moreover, Gao Xin’s last sentence had moved him...

Just thinking that even if he died, Gao Xin could still survive was something he couldn’t accept.

Do you really think I’m afraid to fight to the death? If I’m going to die, it’ll be on the offensive.

After thinking for a moment, Louis said, "I’ll help you kill Sofia, then you can turn me ’black’..."

Gao Xin countered, "And then what?"

Louis continued, "I’ll send an invitation, and you... deliberately answer wrong... that way we can enter the gladiator time, and you... have to give me two NPC corpses."

"Or, send any living person as a gladiator."

Gao Xin laughed and said, "That sounds lovely, but what’s in it for me?"

Louis said coldly, "With Sofia dead, you can easily turn your own teammates."

"And with me being the sole voter on my side, just turning me ’black’, I can help you maintain ’black’ blood. You can keep on attacking and turning, keeping all your teammates alive, but most crucially, you can claim the reward of full ’black’ life."

Gao Xin hummed, "Okay then."

As he spoke, he hung up again.

"Fuck, what are you arrogant about... don’t wait for me to recover a bit..."

Louis, panting at the round table, clutched at his chest manually pacing his heart.

At this moment, his condition was not much better than Silver Hand’s, emaciated and bloodied.

However, his limbs were intact, the main injury at his chest, his heart damaged, just like Tanabu before him, unable to heal himself, just barely hanging on.

"Let me eat a gladiator... I can still live..." Louis panted as he sent out the invitation.

For safety, he used the fingerprint strategy he had thought of before, an extremely difficult question.

Soon, he indeed received good news: "white base accepts the duel."

Louis’s eyes widened, a burst of ecstasy overtaking him.

It worked, he actually did it! It was unclear whether Gao Xin really agreed with him and deliberately answered wrong, or if his question was tough enough.

But that didn’t matter, Louis licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, his goal was not the corpses, but... to fight!

Being on the white side, it wasn’t impossible to win.

The key lay in using the invitation to break through the opposing defense.

As long as the opponent answered wrong, he could fight.

As a white victor, he’d cause ’black’ blood to drop! If ’black’ blood ran out, he’d win.

Although losing five points of blood was difficult, it was better than waiting to die.

Perhaps he didn’t need to lose five points; actually, losing three points would drastically change the situation, forcing Gao Xin to give up winning as ’black’ and switch to winning as ’white’, aligning everyone’s goals.

"The only issue now," Louis pondered, "is if the opponent doesn’t select a gladiator, they would automatically lose."

As a white gladiator entering the space, standing last, he would definitely be the victor, theoretically causing ’black’ blood to drop.

The fear was, both sides losing blood! In that case, white would die first.

"But Gao Xin is also white; he wouldn’t allow that to happen, he would surely use a draw technique, selecting a gladiator at the end without entering."

"That way, as long as I fight, only ’black’ blood would drop."

He had devised a good strategy, and this was his only way out.

Louis took a deep breath, resolutely picked up the hammer, voted for himself as a gladiator, and stepped right out the door.

As a gladiator, he officially entered.

Whether the opponent sent someone or not, he would be the victor.

Now, he just feared that if the white side didn’t select a gladiator, they would also lose blood.

Louis panted, murmuring nervously to himself.

What followed, whether only ’black’ lost blood or both ’black and white’ lost blood, would determine his fate.

If it were only ’black’ losing blood, then he was definitively set to win, incessantly posing questions to attack the black’s blood, he’d eventually be victorious.

And white, had no way out.

At this moment, Louis kept strategizing, feeling the wait excruciatingly agonizing.

Suddenly, a gunshot!

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Louis reacted quickly, immediately rolling away.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a nimble figure bursting out from white base, firing at him repeatedly.

"What? They sent a Gladiator?"

He felt a surge of joy inside, thinking that he could devour another person and recover from his injuries.

Louis’s injuries were too severe; he was on the brink of death before, and he had barely recovered by devouring the corpse of a man in a black vest.

But that was only a temporary reprieve. His injuries were still terrifying, and his heart was shattered. The heart of the dead man couldn’t replenish his, so he could only keep pushing through.

Even so, it was enough; even if he was severely injured and nearly bled dry, he still had the combat strength of a young wolf. He wasn’t someone who could be easily taken down.

"So you think you can try to shoot me because I’m injured?"

"What a joke, with this crappy gun?"

Louis darted behind cover, casually picked up a dagger from the ground, then peeked out.

But when he took a closer look, he realized that the one coming out to fight was Gao Xin.

"It’s you? You dare to come out?"

Louis was astonished; he thought that even if Gao Xin was defending, he would only choose a Gladiator at the last moment and not enter the arena himself.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xin himself completely stepped out of the base.

He held an axe in one hand and a gun in the other, brimming with murderous intent.

Gao Xin shouted loudly, "Louis, let’s fight it out."

A showdown?

Louis found it amusing: "You want to fight me?"

"Do you really think you can handle it? I’m out here, bleeding black blood, and you also have white blood; wouldn’t it be better if you just stayed safe inside the base?"

"If you’re afraid of losing white blood too, then just choose a Gladiator at the last moment," he added.

Gao Xin said seriously, "I’m not here to preserve white blood, but to protect black blood."

"This game, I want the black blood full, not a single drop less!"

"Since you’ve come out to fight, I can only do the same and cut you down."

Louis blinked, unsure what had gotten into him.

To refuse to lose a single drop of black blood and come out to duel with him?

"Are you insane?"

"Haha... I get it now; you’re bluffing me again! You’re not a Gladiator!"

Gao Xin stood outside the base and said earnestly, "I am a Gladiator."

"When both sides’ Gladiators step into the arena, a rule-free fight to the death begins, and only one of us... can survive!"

Louis scoffed, utterly disbelieving.

These Radiations had been deceived three times already, each time believing Gao Xin couldn’t possibly be not a Gladiator, and each time they were wrong!

And now Gao Xin was actually claiming he had become a Gladiator, coming out for a fight to the death?

"Ha! I believe you for shit!"

Louis sprang from cover, flinging his dagger.

Gao Xin dodged nimbly and rushed towards him at high speed.

Louis wasn’t the type to back down; even though he was skinny, weighing just 50 kilograms, he still had the strength of 1.5 tons, five times that of Gao Xin!

"Boom!"

The great hammer swung, whooshing through the air, aiming straight for Gao Xin’s head.

However, Gao Xin seemed to trip over a hole in the ground, tumbling forward head-first.

Louis was thrilled, although by this fall Gao Xin had inadvertently dodged the hammer.

But he had lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Louis quickly planted one foot firmly, swinging the other foot round aiming to kick Gao Xin’s head like a ball.

But suddenly, Gao Xin’s foot got there first, smacking him in the face.

"Thud!"

This kick was powerful and forceful, surprisingly delivered in a handstand position by Gao Xin, swift as a scorpion’s tail flick.

Louis’s face and neck were already injured, and this kick was powerful, delivering a force of half a ton.

"Pfft!" It kicked his face, causing blood to spurt and flesh to fly, the wounds on his neck tearing open, nearly severing it!

But Louis was tough. Struck by this heavy blow, his face mangled with blood, he instinctively shut his eyes but still aimed to kick Gao Xin in return, blood for blood.

However, he bizarrely missed!

As his body became unsteady and the force on his face unexpectedly intensified, he was thrown backward.

Louis forcibly opened his eyes just in time to see Gao Xin, still in a handstand, had performed a kip-up combined with the earlier wrestling move, the whole movement looking like a front handspring?

But the previous wrestling move had looked too much like a simple fall; he hadn’t seen any sign of a front handspring.

"Fuck..."

Louis was kicked backward, while Gao Xin flipped over, standing on his face!

"You’re dead!" Louis glared furiously, ignoring his injuries; as he fell backward, he didn’t bother to use his hands to protect himself, but viciously grabbed at Gao Xin’s foot, ready to snap it off.

But Gao Xin was even more ruthless. Using his strong core strength, he suddenly tucked his legs while nearly airborne, shrinking his body and wrapping his arms around his legs.

"What?" Louis was baffled as his counterattack missed.

And like a slingshot, Gao Xin suddenly stretched his legs, and his foot stomped out like a cannonball!

"Thud!"

Louis took a heavy blow to the face, his head smashing hard into the ground, blood spraying, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"The one dying is you!"

Gao Xin, seizing the advantage, swung his axe and, accelerating in midair, chopped down.

Louis had never imagined he would be brought down by a glass man.

At that moment, everything before his eyes went dark, the danger immense; if the axe struck, it could shatter his skull.

"Get lost!"

Louis roared, steam bursting from his body, rapidly generating a force that positioned the great hammer in front of him, blocking the axe!

Gao Xin was knocked back on the spot!

At the same time, Louis twisted his lower back and, lying down, shifted sideways, then flipped to his feet.

Steam billowed from his body, his already emaciated frame visibly withering further.

Organ overclocking! His senses and strength spiked briefly, reaching the formidable level of a young wolf.

Initially dulled by severe injuries, his mind also became instantly clear and focused.

Louis never thought that fighting a glass man would force him to overclock his organs...

"What a joke..." Louis grimaced in pain, clutching his heart.

The injuries were too severe, and overclocking like this meant he could last even shorter than before.
