??

Who is that Cao thief cursing?

This is damn rude!

Jiang Ye has never even peeked when girls were bathing since he was a child!

A pure and innocent cucumber turtle man, how could he bear such slander!

But then he thought…

He, Jiang Ye, was indeed pure and innocent…

But Zhang Minghan was shady and dirty…

So if he had to call Zhang Minghan the Cao thief, it wasn’t entirely without reason.

With that thought, Jiang Ye felt at ease.

He raised an eyebrow and corrected according to Xu Jing’s words:

“If we really want to use history to prove something…”

“Then you have to admit—the one who laughs last is the real winner.”

“Laugh last?” Xu Jing snorted, “You mean you? Laugh last?”

Verbal disputes are meaningless.

Jiang Ye remained calm and swung the Entropy Reaper again.

Opposite him, Xu Jing still looked relaxed.

But then he saw—

That pitch-black strange scythe suddenly grew larger.

Originally as small as a throwing knife, Jiang Ye had been using it like a throwing knife.

But now, suddenly growing, the entire blade of the scythe was probably four or five meters long!

And the handle length was nearly ten meters!

Jiang Ye wielded such a giant scythe taller than a person effortlessly.

Then, he struck down hard once more!

Xu Jing was chopped into light points again.

But soon, he revived elsewhere and snorted, “I told you, it’s useless! The undefeated War God is destined to never lose!”

However…

Jiang Ye completely ignored him.

Another swing of the scythe, chopping down fiercely!

“Boom—”

This time Xu Jing finally understood!

Jiang Ye wasn’t attacking him! He was attacking the arena!

At that moment, Xu Jing’s eyes suddenly widened, a flash of shock crossing his gaze.

But right after, as Jiang Ye struck the arena a third time with great force.

Suddenly, from high above the arena came a warning:

[Warning! Warning! This arena is under unknown attack!]

[Warning! Warning! If this arena is destroyed, the destroyer will be punished!]

With the warning sound, Jiang Ye’s action of destroying the arena with the Entropy Reaper abruptly stopped.

Across from him, Xu Jing smirked and snorted again:

“Looks like the Mask Master didn’t exaggerate. Your brain does work pretty fast.”

“But so what? You still can’t win!”

“Even worse, the consequences you face are more terrifying than losing this match!”

Xu Jing folded his arms, stood straight, and leisurely started pacing.

After a few steps, seeing Jiang Ye no longer attacking the arena, he sneered again:

“In my past battles, some have noticed something strange and attacked the arena.”

“But just like you, they triggered the arena’s punishment mechanism—erasure!”

“That means forcibly attacking the arena here will result in ‘erasure’ punishment, just like attacking the apartment administrator in the Apartment or the domain master in a Permission Domain!”

“I don’t believe that your pathetic Zhang Minghan’s methods can have a resurrection technique immune to erasure :)”

I see…

Jiang Ye was not surprised.

After all, if just attacking the arena could defeat Xu Jing, the title of “Undefeated War God” would have been taken down long ago.

Conceptual-level powers like the Entropy Reaper certainly exist.

Yet Xu Jing still remains undefeated…

That means the price for destroying the arena is not something ordinary players can accept.

But Jiang Ye was no ordinary player.

He couldn’t help but think…

His Clone Sacrifice should be able to resist erasure, right?

Maybe after he destroys the arena, the sacrificial clone will be erased by the arena’s rules instead of him.

Then the real Jiang Ye, still alive, could kill Xu Jing after the arena’s destruction and win the match?

Only…

Just as he pondered this possibility,

Suddenly, an additional clone sensation came, and a flash of joy swept through his eyes!

Jiang Ye almost without hesitation silently chanted in his heart—

Clone Fusion!

Xu Jing noticed the joy in his opponent’s eyes and felt an inexplicable chill.

Could it be this guy really has a resurrection method immune to erasure?!

Impossible, right?

Possible or not…

Xu Jing, who had been relaxed, now finally turned cold-faced and declared:

“Enough playing around…”

“It’s time for me to end this farce!”

Saying that, his figure flickered and transformed into a cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist shot toward Jiang Ye like an arrow released from a bow!

But halfway through, it seemed to hit something.

The blood mist reverted to Xu Jing’s figure, looking somewhat embarrassed.

A ghostly look of shock appeared on his face as he glared fiercely at Jiang Ye, who seemed protected by some kind of barrier.

Jiang Ye, however, paid no attention to Xu Jing’s gaze.

His focus seemed elsewhere.

After a moment, he quickly regained composure and fixed his eyes on Xu Jing.

Jiang Ye smiled slightly and suddenly raised both arms, softly chanting:

“All beings—”

“Myriad forms—”

“Puppet play—”

Along with this strange incantation,

The surrounding air suddenly filled with giggling laughter.

The atmosphere turned very eerie.

As Jiang Ye lifted his hands…

The entire arena’s air suddenly filled with floating masks!

Strange-shaped masks densely packed like a pilgrimage, all drifting toward Jiang Ye.

The smile on Jiang Ye’s lips became more obvious, then he stretched out five fingers and grabbed toward one mask.

That mask, as if alive with spirit, actively flew into his hand.

Jiang Ye firmly held the flying mask, calmly putting it on his face.

The next second, his entire face changed.

Watching this, Xu Jing truly looked like he had seen a ghost!

All these masks in the sky??

What the hell is this?!

Don’t tell him these are mask-type items?!

Impossible! The Extreme Battle Arena prohibits the use of items!

So…

These terrifying strange masks must be Glyph Pattern Abilities? Innate abilities?

Or… illusions?

But what purpose would such illusions serve?

However, when Xu Jing saw Jiang Ye wear the mask and his face completely change into Xu Jing’s own face…

He became even more shocked!

This?!

This was obviously the effect of a mimic mask?!

What innate ability or glyph pattern ability could imitate a mimic mask?

Or was this guy just using illusions to create a fake impression??

Xu Jing’s heart was filled with suspicion and doubt.

At this moment, Jiang Ye’s demeanor turned relaxed.

He wandered in the sea of masks, looking extremely pleased.

His gaze lazily resting on Xu Jing, he slowly muttered:

“So this is the SS-rank innate ability ‘War God’s Will,’ no wonder you’re so confident…”

“As long as you’re inside the arena space, you’re immune to all death effects? Tsk tsk…”

“You can’t even actively surrender, which prevents mental control and forced surrender too, right?”

“And you even have a 1000% combat power boost, tsk tsk, no wonder you became an undefeated legend…”

He spoke slowly and leisurely, as if recalling something pleasant not long ago…

But at this moment, Xu Jing was completely stunned!

Although his abilities had been guessed by many in countless battles,

Almost no one had ever openly spoken out his innate ability like Jiang Ye did.

And this guy even changed his face into Xu Jing’s.

It looked as if he really used a mimic mask and knew his data panel!

Xu Jing’s eyes widened, retreating while exclaiming:

“Impossible!”

“This must be an illusion combined with your powerful detection!”

“Even if you become me, even if you recite my innate ability, so what?!”

These words were clearly to comfort himself.

At this moment, the undefeated War God obviously sensed something.

Jiang Ye immediately removed the mask, revealing Zhang Minghan’s handsome face.

That handsome face smiled even more arrogantly.

His narrow heroic eyebrows lifted as he coldly said to Xu Jing:

“Enough playing around…”

“It’s time for me to end this farce :)”

Saying this, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed.

A new mask appeared in his hand.

Jiang Ye put it on immediately, and the Entropy Reaper grew large again, fiercely smashing the arena!

[Warning! Warning! This arena is under unknown attack!]

[Warning! Warning! If this arena is destroyed, the destroyer will be punished!]

The warning sounded just as before.

But this time Jiang Ye did not stop!

“Boom—”

A huge explosion, one-third of the arena’s area was split into light points, becoming a black hole-like dead black!

Then…

“Boom—”

“Boom!!!”

The warnings sounded two more times!

The entire arena was completely destroyed!

A golden light symbolizing “erasure,” as if filled with thunder’s might, shot straight at Jiang Ye!

But… nothing happened!

The golden light seemed absorbed by the mask on Jiang Ye’s face!

“Thanks for telling me that the arena’s ‘erasure’ rule is the same as the apartment administrator’s ‘erasure’ on players…”

“Then similarly, this ‘erasure’ effect can be immune using the Madman Mask!”

Saying that, Jiang Ye wasted no more words.

Now that the arena disappeared, the original arena had become a bottomless abyss black hole.

Both hovered in midair above the black hole abyss by their own power.

But visibly, Xu Jing’s pupils trembled and his face turned pale!

At this moment, Jiang Ye no longer retorted to Xu Jing’s verbal jabs.

In fact, there was no time for him to respond…

After the arena was completely destroyed, the next Entropy Reaper strike fiercely smashed Xu Jing!

As before, Xu Jing was hit by the terrifying conceptual-level attack and shattered into light points!

But unlike before, he did not easily “revive.”

Instead, from above the black hole space—the “arena”—came the prompt:

[Ding! This Extreme Battle match: Zhang Minghan wins!]

With the prompt’s end,

A flash of white light appeared before Jiang Ye’s eyes, and he found himself no longer hovering above the black hole.

Instead, he was back inside the Mask Master’s Shop.

Xu Jing also stood opposite him.

Xu Jing’s Extreme Battle Rattle’s entire drumhead had completely disappeared.

Only the handle, two drum strings, and two drumsticks remained.

Xu Jing stared blankly at the handle, looking as if his soul had been lost.

But soon he recovered, widening his eyes and staring fixedly at Jiang Ye.

That look was like seeing a ghost.

At this moment, Jiang Ye smiled broadly, showing a row of white teeth:

“Hah, I really had foresight—”

“The one who laughs last still has to be me :)”

“Look at our undefeated War God, why the face like that? You might as well smile too~”

“…” Xu Jing couldn’t smile at all!

He still didn’t understand what had just happened!

This guy looked like he destroyed the arena by wearing the Madman Mask.

But the Madman Mask was clearly an item!

And the Extreme Battle Arena prohibits item usage!

So…

The Madman Mask became Zhang Minghan’s ability?

How could that be!

If he really had such a mask-like ability, how could the Mask Master not know?

Wait.

Where’s the Mask Master? Why is he nowhere to be seen?

Xu Jing suddenly realized—

Why was the Mask Master missing from the shop after the Extreme Battle match ended?

Did the Master hide again? Where did he go? Was he disappointed in his defeat?

While Xu Jing was puzzled,

Jiang Ye casually summoned.

The drumsticks in Xu Jing’s hand, along with the drop of water recording Zhang Minghan’s shady history, automatically flew into Jiang Ye’s hand.

Jiang Ye didn’t really care about Zhang Minghan’s shady past.

But since he bet on it, naturally he had to take it.

And after finishing this, Xu Jing had no more value to him.

With a thought, Xu Jing disappeared directly from the Mask Master’s Shop.

After a moment, the Clone Fusion effect ended.

The Mask Master’s figure reappeared in the shop.

Or rather, it was the Mask Master wearing the Nomadic Merchant Mask, showing Jiang Ye’s face.

And the Mask Master had no memory of the 3 minutes of Clone Fusion.

Just like when Jiang Ye previously used Clone Fusion on Wu Ying.

The Mask Master sensed something, but had no memory of that time.

He only remembered just putting on the Nomadic Merchant Mask and about to take out a mirror to look at the Nomadic Merchant’s appearance…

Then what happened?

He didn’t remember!

The Mask Master looked horrified.

Beside him, Jiang Ye had a strange expression and curiously asked:

“What’s wrong, Master? Why that expression? Did you accidentally discover a secret of the Nomadic Merchant Mask?”

Yes, the Nomadic Merchant Mask!

The Mask Master immediately realized!

The problem was the Nomadic Merchant Mask!

It was already confirmed—

When he lost the Nomadic Merchant Mask, he would simultaneously lose memory of the Nomadic Merchant’s appearance…

And just now, as soon as he put on the Nomadic Merchant Mask, he mysteriously lost 3 minutes of memory!

So this 3-minute amnesia must also have been caused by the Nomadic Merchant Mask!

Did he discover some secret of the Nomadic Merchant Mask, so the memory of discovering it disappeared automatically?

Or maybe, did the Nomadic Merchant come just now?

Did something happen between him and the Nomadic Merchant, then when the Nomadic Merchant left, he took away his memory?

For a moment, the Mask Master attributed the 3 minutes of amnesia entirely to the Nomadic Merchant.

But as his secret with the Nomadic Merchant, he naturally wouldn’t tell Jiang Ye.

Just as he regained focus, the Mask Master glanced at Jiang Ye, then suddenly sensed something and frowned:

“Where is Xu Jing?”

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, looking strange: “You ask me? Didn’t you kick Xu Jing out of the shop?”

The Mask Master was confused: When the hell did I kick him out? I don’t remember at all!

But after accepting his 3 minutes of amnesia, the Mask Master didn’t dwell on this.

He was about to say something,

When Jiang Ye held out his right hand, showing the broken remains of the rattle:

“The undefeated War God has already lost. Not only did he lose, but even the rattle was destroyed by me.”

“So next…”

Jiang Ye smiled slightly at the Mask Master: “It’s your turn to fulfill your promise :)”
