Chapter 2703

*（To be modified later）

At this moment, Zone 039 hasn’t fallen into darkness yet. Xu Huo’s sight only caught a glimpse of the black sky, which appeared just for a moment before the man standing high up waved his hand lightly, causing the black patch to rapidly shrink and eventually disappear behind the man.

Zhu Bo, Qi Cong, and the others were nowhere to be found. In the vast sky above the Primeval Forest, only Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, who was pulled away by a suction force, as well as the Suitcase Man remained.

Those emotionless blue eyes swept past them, and Xu Huo went through several life-and-death crises. "The Immortal Pedestrian 2.0" had effects comparable to Super Props, so despite exhausting his life-saving props, he was still alive.

This made the Suitcase Man, who removed his blood-stained gloves, pause for a moment, his gaze returned to him, shifting from being indifferent to a murderous intent rising in an instant!

A force as heavy as Mount Tai squeezed in from both sides, and the protective barrier brought by Characteristics was precariously close to breaking. As the Suitcase Man disappeared from view, Xu Huo’s hair stood on end, and he activated the "Inversion Ring" without hesitation!

The Super Spatial Artifact took effect, and intense spatial vibrations erupted, causing the Suitcase Man, who reappeared ten meters ahead of him, to vanish in the blink of an eye!

With the pressure on him disappearing along with the Suitcase Man, Xu Huo immediately moved beside Yan Jiayu, but before he could grab her, he was restrained mid-air by a powerful force again. Quickly using the "Inversion Ring" a second time, the restraining force dissipated, and he finally grabbed Yan Jiayu’s arm, only for it to dissolve from his grasp in the next moment!

Xu Huo ultimately grabbed nothing as he felt the murderous intent coming from behind. As he turned the Bone Ring, he also threw out a Magic Cube started by one of three people!

However, to his surprise, the gravity suppression of the Bone Ring had no effect on the Suitcase Man whatsoever. Not only that, but the metal Magic Cube that had begun its activation was also swallowed by a sudden Black Vortex, and as the tangible black space engulfed the Magic Cube, Xu Huo’s heart position was pierced through, leaving a hole!

Death caused time to rewind back three seconds earlier. Xu Huo was a hundred meters away from Yan Jiayu and discovered, amid repeated attacks, that the murderous intent in the Suitcase Man was present before him, and was transmitted to another space by the "Inversion Ring"!

Although the "Inversion Ring" could transport the Suitcase Man to other zones, it couldn’t stop him from coming back. The last time he had just arrived beside Yan Jiayu, he had returned, clearly having located Zone 039, able to return in an instant, so merely sending him away made it impossible to leave with Yan Jiayu!

In a flash, Xu Huo had already simulated a new plan. He shortened the distance of the Spiritual Channel to save time, and as he emerged from the Mental Portal, he activated the "Inversion Ring" a second time, once again transporting the recently returned Suitcase Man out, and then opened the Mental Portal once more to timely arrive beside Yan Jiayu, simultaneously activating the "Inversion Ring" for a third time to gain more time.

And the time gained this time was enough for him to use the tickets to escape with Yan Jiayu...

Unexpectedly, he still died.

Time rewound once again; he returned to the original moment of sending the Suitcase Man away the first time. This time, he didn’t come directly to Yan Jiayu, but after sending the Suitcase Man away a second time, he no longer chose to move towards Yan Jiayu, but instead, threw out the "Big Mushroom Cloud." The nuclear-explosion level space blast created enormous energy that recklessly struck all directions, not only blasting him away but also affecting the speed of the recently returned Suitcase Man!

Xu Huo collided with Yan Jiayu and activated the "Inversion Ring," also using the Time Force to cover the front to ensure there would be enough time to escape!

He still underestimated the Super Player. Just as he and Yan Jiayu were about to enter the Spatial Transmission Channel, the Suitcase Man had already passed through the area covered by the Time Force and appeared in front of them!

Behind him was the Transmission Channel, but Xu Huo now found it unavoidable, for as he realized the Suitcase Man’s presence, the opponent’s hand once again struck his heart through the air!

"Poof!" Xu Huo spat a mouthful of black blood onto the childhood personality that suddenly blocked him in front, as the Water Rubik’s Cube attached to his heart emerged, and the High-dimensional Space Power floating silk stored within also unraveled, stretching out from the Water Rubik’s Cube, passing through his back, piercing his heart, and jutting out of his chest!

Seeing the Suitcase Man’s eyes darkening slightly in front of the Spatial Transmission Channel, he surprisingly stepped back.

In Xu Huo’s dimming vision, the last sight was the Suitcase Man coldly watching the scene, and subsequently, he sank into the boundless darkness.

In a certain moving zone, a group of Bounty Hunters wearing heavy mechanical suits were slowly progressing through the dense mutated forest.

The eight-person group moved very slowly, not just because they were injured, but also because of the excessive equipment they carried.

"Miss Pu Yu, it’s getting late today; let’s find a place to rest," the tall man walking in front turned his head to speak to the person dressed in a black metal suit behind him.

The mutated forest was exceptionally quiet at the moment; the plants and flowers were staying docilely in place. Although various odd-shaped fungi were scattered around, and the air was laced with floating filaments and small creatures, overall visibility was clear, without thick fog or swarms of insects obscuring the sky.

"Watch the detectors, prevent mutated species from approaching," Pu Yu nodded.

The group halted; one person took out a camouflaged small venue prop, first moving the equipment inside before gradually entering.

Inside the venue prop, the group could finally remove their helmets, rest, and replenish their energy.

Pu Yu, earlier encountered by Xu Huo twice on the train and then found again at C09-001, was a female player from a Rank-A Wormhole Point.

At present, she was accompanied by two players who had swapped out, while the other several were professional bounty hunters.

A short-haired female player who was injured voiced discontent:

Even with explosions, the Time Force itself...

Transported him above Yan Jiayu simultaneously used the "Inversion Ring" once more, once again sending the Suitcase Man away, except the time between using the props was shortened, and the time the Suitcase Man took to return these two times became his chance for survival!

No need to wait for him to notice...
