Chapter 1581: Turning The Tide 2

"Alright, stop guys. Fighting between ourselves is not helping. We need to think of a way to fight Tang Shaoyang together. Do you think he will really kill us one by one? From what you know about Tang Shaoyang's character, do you think he will do so?" Donis tried to mediate the situation.

Even though he agreed with Agnes and Ian, he could not corner Vitali even further.

"We don't know anything about Tang Shaoyang. He is a solo player. If he could solo the second stage, he would solo it. But the only thing I know is that he is ruthless. He would not let us get out alive from this trial for sure," Agnes was frustrated.

She wanted to stop all this shit, but she knew Tang Shaoyang would not listen to her even if she told the truth that she was forced to join this group. He only knew that she tried to kill him, and she must be ready to be killed as well.

Before they could plan anything to face Tang Shaoyang in this new circumstance, they heard a commotion from outside. Not long after the commotion, Bran's people entered the tent, "We have an emergency situation, Sir Bran. A party of four is killed."

Bran and Donis exchanged glances. The worst scenario truly happened. Tang Shaoyang had made his move, and they had no way of knowing where he would come from.

Bran, Donis, Vitali, Ian, and Agnes followed the man to the location. It was quite far from their tent, the outskirts of their camp. It was not just a simple ambush or assassination, but also intimidation.

The bodies were found in a single tree, four different bodies with no heads nailed on the tree. And the four different heads on the tree next to the tree with the bodies. The bodies and the heads were nailed on the black tree, the tree that appeared along with the domain.

Bran and Donis approached the tree with the four heads on it. They saw the four people's expressions before they died. It was a casual expression. They were not aware of how they died, meaning Tang Shaoyang killed them before any of them could detect Tang Shaoyang.

"How do we know Tang Shaoyang did this?" Vitali asked, "It could be one of us, trying to get points because of the stalemate. Have you checked the others' points?"

"If the culprit is one of us, then there's no need for them to hang their bodies and heads like this. This is Tang Shaoyang. He tries to intimidate us," Agnes immediately disproved Vitali, "And if they are one of us, the first target will be the people from the Nirvana Alliance. Because they will need people from outside Nirvana Alliance to fight them eventually."

Before they could conclude anything from this incident, another commotion was heard from the other side. They rushed there and found the same situation. A party of four was assassinated. Their bodies and heads were nailed to the same tree as well.

Not long after the second party, the third party in a different area was also killed. Bran and Donis reacted quickly, he called everyone to gather closely. To make sure that Tang Shaoyang could not target them one by one.

"Gather them all in the main tent! We need to be together!" Donis just finished his words before he felt a tremor from the ground.

The ground was shaking, but then his eyes widened in shock because he was getting further and further from the main group. The shake was coming from the movement on the ground. The ground moved them further from their people.

Donis, Bran, Vitali, Ian, and Agnes were separated from the main group. The five were about to fly to avoid getting isolated, but then suddenly the earth wall rose into the air. The earth wall encapsulated them into a box. The half-dragon Donis struck the earth wall with his fist.

Despite how big the impact was, the earth wall withstood the fist. It was more durable than they thought for the earth wall. Then Vitali also followed with his punch, and it took them ten punches to break one part of the wall. During the time they tried to break free from the wall, the ground kept moving them.

As the earth wall crumbled, then they found out they were on the mountain. With the wind and the temperature difference, Agnes could tell they were at the top of the mountain.

"Is there a mountain on the map? Anyone remember?" Agnes did not recall there was a mountain on the map. She asked them to make sure she was not wrong. She hoped she was wrong.

Bran let out a frustrated sigh and shook his head, "No! There's no mountain. That bastard creates a mountain in what? Five seconds? Three seconds? He changes the whole map. I don't know if he could manipulate the barrier as well."

He turned toward Ian and Agnes who knew more about the Absolute Domain, "Can he manipulate the barrier with his Absolute Domain?"

Agnes and Ian shook their heads as they did not know. The barrier was a different object. The barrier for the battle royal belonged to the system. They were unsure if it could be manipulated.

"We need to regroup with the others!" Donis felt like their chance was in their numbers. They might really have a chance if they stayed together with the others.

Before they moved, an earth wall rose in front of them. The wall did not try to confine them. It was five meters tall and ten meters long. Then two words appeared on the wall, it was big.

It said, "Don't bother!"

Tang Shaoyang heard their conversation and told them not to look at their group. Not trying to threaten them, but telling them how useless it was. Then the words on the wall changed.

It said, "If you are curious if I can manipulate barriers or not, then the answer is yes. I push the barrier further away. Welcome to the new arena, a much, much bigger battleground. So don't bother to look for your group, you will never be able to find them."

The five exchanged glances, realizing how this one skill turned the ideal situation into the worst situation. Donis and Bran regretted not listening to Vitali earlier. If they made a move on Tang Shaoyang before the Absolute Domain, then they would be separated like this.

"I can actually send you guys out of the barrier to disqualify all of you and win the trial. But that's too cheap for the price of killing four of my spirits. Stay there and enjoy the scenery because I will come for you. I am saving the best for the last!"
