Before he could finish speaking.

But the meaning was already quite clear—

If you really killed Jiang Wenxing…

How could you possibly avoid being erased by the Announcement Rules?

Jiang Ye himself also felt that this questioning was very reasonable.

Therefore, he nodded quite approvingly.

Then, raising his hand, he pointed towards the strong player who had raised the doubt.

Slowly, his finger lifted, pointing above the head of this strong player. Jiang Ye smiled politely and said:

“Then… shall we experiment one more time?”

Just this simple sentence.

That strong player was so frightened that he immediately raised his hand sharply. Seeing that the Dice of Fate did not appear above his head, his face turned deathly pale as he shrieked: “No!”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“There’s no need for another experiment! I’ve figured it out!”

“The Dice of Fate has six probability outcomes;
it was never meant to be a tool for killing!”

“So players who die from the Skull effect rolled by the Dice of Fate essentially aren’t considered killed!”

“Therefore, it simply doesn’t violate the rules announced before!!”

The strong player shouted with self-righteous conviction, as if this was the absolute truth.

Clearly, what the actual truth was didn’t matter.

In a place without order like this, the most important thing was obviously brute force!

And Jiang Ye…

Whether it was real or not, at least on the surface, he had dealt with Jiang Wenxing!

Therefore, it was highly possible that he could use the same method again to deal with all of them present!

For a moment, the tension among these strong players returned to the atmosphere they had experienced when Jiang Wenxing dominantly controlled everything.

However…

Jiang Wenxing’s strength was, after all, undeniable.

A single Black Net had hard-controlled the entire scene.

Moreover, he could even grab people out of thin air with his bare hands.

So when facing him, these strong players didn’t even have the courage to escape.

But Jiang Ye… was ultimately different.

Although he “suspectedly” dealt with Jiang Wenxing, and even picked up the permission identity and items dropped by Jiang Wenxing.

He was still not Jiang Wenxing!

In fact, he was a newcomer who had only just appeared from this session’s Novice Apartment!

Some strong players, deep down, didn’t believe Jiang Ye had the strength to hard-control them.

Thus, within the eerie and tense atmosphere…

Suddenly, one figure violently manipulated a compass and flashed away in escape!

Furthermore, another figure quietly shot a sharp blade towards Jiang Ye’s direction, directly slicing the cheek of Jiang Ye’s clone!

Jiang Ye’s newly generated clone was only Level 0.

Facing such a strong player, they were simply not on the same level!

Consequently, the blade indeed sliced his shoulder, and blood instantly gushed out profusely!

Then, like the other clones, the gushing blood turned into a blood mist, rapidly surging towards the blood mark on the Formless Tree…

At this moment, all of Jiang Ye’s clones around the Formless Tree, except for the Observer clone fused onto the Formless Leaf, were all in a bleeding state, unable to move!

Seeing someone successfully escape, other strong players who were also preparing to follow suit and use teleportation-type items to flee stopped their escape attempts upon seeing this!

For a moment, the air fell silent again.

Until a voice broke this silence—

“This kid… so he was just putting on an act?”

“I was thinking, how much strength could a newly generated Level 0 clone possibly have?”

The strong player who had just thrown the blade at Jiang Ye, after a surge of dark undercurrents in his eyes, suddenly flashed towards Jiang Ye’s last bleeding clone.

However, this sudden move was intercepted by another strong player!

In fact, in the blink of an eye, several strong players, without a word, started fighting around Jiang Ye’s clone!

Moreover, soon even more strong players joined the chaotic battle!

These strong players naturally weren’t suddenly possessed.

The reason they descended into chaos was simple—

Jiang Ye’s last bleeding clone possessed the items dropped from Jiang Wenxing!

Whether it was the Permission Iron Piece, the Little Black Gourd, or that mysterious small black chain…

Without a doubt, they were absolutely precious items!

If anyone could obtain them…

Perhaps they could also become a strong player like Jiang Wenxing!

Even potentially hope to become a Reincarnation player!

Such a special existence, how could it not make people covetous!

Thus, the chaotic battle among the strong players now was even more intense than the struggle for the Formless Leaves!

One by one, they almost all brought out their true capabilities!

And Jiang Ye, who was targeted by these strong players, was repeatedly affected, his entire body being fought over and grabbed like a sculpture!

Until a voice forcefully emerged:

“Everyone stop fighting! There’s something strange about this kid!”

“He doesn’t have any equipment storage items on him!”

“If you don’t believe me, stop and search him one by one!”

After this voice, the chaotic battle continued for another half minute before gradually ceasing.

These strong players each used their special methods, some using detection techniques, others directly searching his person by hand.

Sure enough, in the end, no equipment items were found!

Immediately, a voice speculated:

“During the chaotic battle just now, someone took advantage of the confusion and directly snatched the three items dropped by Jiang Wenxing from this kid?!”

This was also the guess of the vast majority of strong players.

For a moment, the glances they cast at each other were filled with suspicion and hostility!

As if someone among them had truly obtained Jiang Wenxing’s “massive inheritance”!

This time, however, it was a female voice that broke the silent and tense atmosphere:

“Everyone, calm down!”

“Do you really think obtaining Jiang Wenxing’s inheritance is a good thing?”

“What if Jiang Wenxing isn’t dead and comes back later…”

“Have you considered the fate of whoever possesses his items then?”

“Aren’t you acting too rashly by offending Jiang Ye like this?”

This female voice naturally came from Zhou Yuling.

The strong players participating in the chaotic battle were mainly the two-thirds who had previously expressed to Jiang Wenxing that Jiang Ye’s clone should be sacrificed.

The remaining one-third of the strong players, like Zhou Yuling, had neither chosen to escape nor participated in the fight.

Their cautious gazes were directed partly at the blood mark on the Formless Tree, and partly at the dense branches of the Formless Tree.

By now, hanging from those branches were conspicuously two Formless Leaves.

One formed from Wu Ying’s Desiccated Corpse;

One formed from the clone generated by Zhang Minghan.

That was the surface appearance.

But in reality…

Emmmmm…

The situation was a bit complicated.

Speaking of which, after Jiang Ye’s main body returned to the Time-Stop Prison in the form of a Formless Leaf.

He was cut off from the outside world again.

Of course, when new Formless Leaves grew on the Formless Tree.

He could sense the new Formless Leaves again.

So, leaving the Time-Stop Prison again wasn’t difficult.

Fusing with a new Formless Leaf again, or swapping with a Formless Leaf, were both possible.

However, because he didn’t understand the external situation.

And considering that the major threat Jiang Wenxing might still be running amok.

Jiang Ye’s main body decided to lay low in the prison for a little longer.

It was during this brief period that he noticed a key point—

First, based on previous experience.

The process of a clone being drained of blood by the Formless Tree was much slower than being drained by the Little Red Snake.

Roughly estimated, about 3 minutes.

So the question was—

New Formless Leaves had already grown…

So more than 3 minutes must have passed!

But why hadn’t the 3-minute time limit for the Clone Fusion effect expired?

Initially, Jiang Ye thought it might be because this Formless Leaf, which had fused all the clones, had entered the Time-Stop Prison.

Whatever the principle, time within the Time-Stop Prison seemed to be stationary.

Even though he could infer that time outside the prison flowed normally.

But within the prison, perhaps “time” was defined as being in a stationary state.

Therefore, the 3-minute time limit for Clone Fusion stopped counting down after he returned to the Time-Stop Prison.

So, even though more than 3 minutes had passed outside the prison.

The Formless Leaf inside the prison did not automatically cancel the Clone Fusion effect.

This explanation indeed made sense.

But soon, Jiang Ye discovered that things weren’t so simple.

Because, when he tried to actively cancel the Clone Fusion effect…

He found it impossible to cancel!

Of course, Jiang Ye wasn’t very panicked at the time.

He thought it might also be due to the time-stop effect inside the prison.

Just like how he couldn’t cut a wound on himself with a knife inside the prison.

The time stasis in the prison prevented his entire state from changing.

Therefore, the Clone Fusion effect could also not be actively canceled.

This explanation also seemed plausible!

However, soon Jiang Ye discovered again…

Things really were not simple!

Because, when he sensed that—

After he returned to the Time-Stop Prison, the first Formless Leaf that grew on the Formless Tree fell to the ground and vanished.

Later, after two new Formless Leaves grew on the tree…

He made a bold decision—

To once again stealthily fuse with the Formless Leaf on the Formless Tree!

Although he had left the prison previously also relying on clone fusion.

This situation was somewhat different from before.

Previously, he was in a normal human form.

Now, he was in the form of a Human-Shaped Leaf.

So this fusion was essentially… a fusion between a Formless Leaf and a Formless Leaf!

The result was quite satisfactory—

He successfully achieved the fusion effect.

That is, the earliest Formless Leaf that had fused a large number of clones achieved fusion with the second Formless Leaf on the tree.

Moreover, the strong players fighting below hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

At this point, Jiang Ye’s main body, having left the prison, naturally synchronized with the information from the Formless Domain.

Thus he learned—

Jiang Wenxing had actually died under the Skull effect of the Dice of Fate!

Of course, whether he was truly dead was still hard to say.

But he had dropped three items.

And this threat was temporarily gone!

For Jiang Ye’s main body, this was fantastic news worth celebrating!

This meant that he seemed to be able to completely escape the Time-Stop Prison and start doing whatever he wanted in this Formless Domain!

However…

Jiang Ye’s main body didn’t rejoice for long.

Before he discovered a problem—

Damn it!

His Clone Fusion effect still hadn’t been canceled!

Whether from the perspective of the 3-minute time limit…

Or from actively trying to cancel the fusion effect…

Both failed!!

From the main body to all clones…

None could cancel the fusion effect!

Even the two Formless Leaves that had just achieved fusion…

Could no longer cancel the fusion effect either!

What the hell?!

The fusion effect he had now achieved was almost like the fusion effect inherent in Infinite Clones…

Had it become irreversible?!

This? This? This??!

If this damn thing is irreversible…

Doesn’t that mean he has completely lost his human form and can only exist in this Human-Shaped Leaf form??

No! That won’t do! Can’t be like this!

This leaf form is too inconvenient to use!

In this form, aside from barely being able to move by using clone swapping.

He has no abilities like walking or talking!

Jiang Ye didn’t want to remain a leaf like this!

So, after some thought, he decided to try another attempt—

Trying to fuse the Formless Leaf onto a clone in normal human form!

Coincidentally, that Zhang Minghan clone was still bleeding.

Essentially, it was still alive.

Thus, Jiang Ye attempted to fuse the Formless Leaf containing his main body towards the direction of the Zhang Minghan clone.

However…

The result was failure!

Although the reason for the failure wasn’t clear.

He had a vague feeling…

It was as if because—

The “level” of the Formless Leaf “container” was higher than the level of the Zhang Minghan clone “container”.

So, a high-level container cannot be downward compatible by fusing into a low-level container?

If that’s the case…

Then thinking conversely—

Perhaps this special Formless Leaf body is better to use than a normal human-form body?

Thinking this, Jiang Ye reluctantly accepted this leaf body that was very inconvenient to operate.

At this moment, his attention finally returned to the group of strong players who were bickering and suspecting each other after the chaotic battle.

Of course, he also saw the blood mist continuously seeping from his bleeding clones.

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but wonder again…

Could this special Formless Leaf he was in now… still undergo blood-drip acknowledgment?

If he let the blood from his clones stain this leaf…

Then, could he simultaneously possess both the leaf form and a human form?

For other players, how to perform blood-drip acknowledgment remained an unsolved puzzle.

But for Jiang Ye…

He didn’t die immediately after bleeding.

So, if he let the leaf containing his main body come into contact with the spreading blood mist now, what would happen?

He was merely thinking this.

As if receiving a message, the blood mist emanating from the clones under the tree suddenly stopped flowing towards the crescent blood mark on the Formless Tree.

Instead, it surged towards the higher-up Formless Leaf where Jiang Ye’s main body resided!

This sudden scene naturally instantly attracted the attention of all the strong players present!

The group of strong players, who had just been suspecting each other and holding their own opinions, immediately stared wide-eyed at the blood mist from Jiang Ye’s clone suddenly changing direction…

Soon, a strong player exclaimed:

“Jiang Ye’s blood mist… it’s flowing towards the Formless Leaf!”

“So… is he going to perform blood-drip acknowledgment on the Formless Leaf??”

“This? Can this succeed? But even if blood-drip acknowledgment succeeds, won’t his bleeding clone still die?”

These strong players naturally couldn’t see through what was actually happening at this moment.

They were powerless to stop it, and didn’t dare to stop it.

So they could only quietly wait for the outcome of Jiang Ye’s clone performing blood-drip acknowledgment on the Formless Leaf.

Of course, a few cautious strong players took advantage of everyone’s attention being drawn by this phenomenon and chose to stealthily escape.

More strong players also had a vague sense of foreboding.

But they understood clearly in their hearts—

The key to clearing the Court of Disorder lay with this Formless Tree.

Even if they escaped now, failing to obtain a slot and clear the Court of Disorder would mean death anyway.

Thus, most strong players ultimately chose to stay.

Quietly waiting for the result of the blood mist merging with the Formless Leaf.
