Provoked by his contemptuous attitude, the seven people sped up and charged toward Xu Huo and his companion, but before they could breach the twenty-meter radius around him, three players were skewered in mid-air—literally skewered. In a place that had been empty, blades were set up, invisible and colorless, only becoming noticeable when they were stained red as they passed through the bodies of the players.
Among them, three individuals including Gong Jiaji were impaled with seven or eight through-and-through holes, dying instantly. Another three got lucky with their defense props saving their lives, sustaining injuries to their limbs that stopped their charge, while the tall one realized something was wrong as he got closer and promptly cut his losses.
