**Chapter 1547: Today, You Must Listen to Me**

This battle was extremely intense. Lin Qingfei and Zhuang Bi gave it their all, using every desperate measure they had. With the experience from previous battles, the guardian beast was gradually being pushed back.

The guardian beast summoned reinforcements, but they were all blocked by Chu Xiong and the other two. The five of them split into two groups, working together seamlessly. Seeing victory in sight, Lin Qingfei's tense expression began to relax.

Zhuang Bi smiled and said, "We should be able to make it in time."

Lin Qingfei nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, followed by Shui Zilan's angry shout, "Despicable!"

Lin Qingfei and Zhuang Bi immediately realized something was wrong; someone had ambushed them. Contestants No. 7 and No. 12 from Divine City had arrived unnoticed and launched a surprise attack on Chu Xiong. Although they didn't seriously injure Chu Xiong, they did weaken his combat power.

Originally, the three of them were already under significant pressure blocking the reinforcements. Now, with the ambush, the pressure increased dramatically.

Shui Zilan reacted quickly, and she and Shui Xing filled the gap left by Chu Xiong. Shui Xing also quickly cast a spell to heal Chu Xiong.

Chu Xiong stabilized himself and angrily shouted at the two, "What are you two trying to do?"

The two didn't say anything.

Shui Zilan said, "They're here to drag us down."

Chu Xiong wasn't stupid and grinned, "You two want to drag us down with you."

One of them said softly, "Sorry, fellow disciples, we mean no offense."

They had no hope left. Once eliminated, their ranking wouldn't be great. So they decided to drag others down with them, hoping to improve their own ranking slightly. After all, the rules didn't prohibit such actions.

Lin Qingfei and Zhuang Bi exchanged glances and quickly understood each other's thoughts. The situation was already difficult, and with these two causing trouble, getting the last token was impossible.

Lin Qingfei and Zhuang Bi were not indecisive people and made a decision immediately.

Zhuang Bi shouted, "Attack!"

Lin Qingfei turned and, with a sword, transformed into a dragon, charging at the two from Divine City. Zhuang Bi also ignored the guardian beast and attacked the two.

Lin Qingfei's domain instantly enveloped the two, and a green dragon descended from the sky, roaring angrily and biting at them. Following the dragon was Lin Qingfei's fierce sword energy, filled with killing intent.

The two were shocked and quickly retreated, not daring to confront Lin Qingfei. Zhuang Bi was even faster, blocking their retreat with his sword.

Spell: Infinite Sword Rain

Flying swords rained down, enveloping the two. The sharp swords shattered their defenses, and Lin Qingfei's killing intent followed.

The two were terrified, realizing they had stirred up a hornet's nest. One of them took out a shield and activated it. Eight shields appeared out of thin air, blocking Lin Qingfei's attack. The green dragon collided with the shields, causing a loud explosion, and the shields shattered.

The two were sent flying, screaming in pain.

"Despicable scoundrels, die!" Chu Xiong roared, charging at them with his giant battle blade. The blade grew to ten thousand meters, slashing down like a mountain.

The two, already injured by Lin Qingfei, were too scared to face Chu Xiong's attack. One of them took out a wooden plank, which transformed into a coffin, enclosing them. The coffin turned into a stream of light, flying away.

"Don't think you can escape!" Chu Xiong's blade changed direction, slashing at the coffin. The coffin cracked but managed to escape, disappearing in an instant.

A red light flashed in the sky, and Shui Zilan commanded her little red spirit to chase after them, asking, "Should we pursue?"

Lin Qingfei shook her head, "It's pointless."

As she spoke, she waved her sword, and a green dragon emerged, forming a protective barrier around them. The barrier wasn't strong but could hold for a few seconds.

Zhuang Bi said, "No need to chase. Let's return to the previous stone tablet."

Chu Xiong asked, "What about here? We still need one more token."

Zhuang Bi replied, "It's too late here. We have to give up."

The earlier disturbance, though only two or three minutes, allowed the guardian beast to heal significantly. This meant they would waste at least another half hour. In that time, at least two more waves of regular enemies would appear, and the guardian beast would summon another batch of reinforcements. Their speed in eliminating enemies couldn't keep up with the rate of their appearance, making it futile.

Zhuang Bi decisively said, "Let's stick to our plan."

Lin Qingfei knew what Zhuang Bi meant and protested, "I didn't agree!"

Zhuang Bi shook his head, "Today, you must listen to me. Let's go!"

With that, Zhuang Bi flew out of the barrier, heading into the distance.

Chu Xiong, still confused about their conversation, trusted Zhuang Bi and followed, urging the others, "Hurry up."

Lin Qingfei hesitated but eventually followed. Shui Zilan and Shui Xing also quickly followed.

The guardian beast chased for a while but eventually returned to its stone tablet and disappeared after ten minutes.

Zhuang Bi led the group back to the previous stone tablet and handed a token to Chu Xiong, "You go first!"

Chu Xiong instinctively took the token but didn't activate it immediately, asking, "What are you planning?"

Zhuang Bi didn't explain, "Don't waste time, hurry!"

Chu Xiong trusted Zhuang Bi and activated the token and stone tablet. In the next second, he was transported away.

**[Contestant No. 5 has advanced.]**

Seeing Chu Xiong advance, Zhuang Bi handed another token to Shui Xing, "You're next." Without further explanation, he flew to another stone tablet.

The others realized what Zhuang Bi was doing. They had five people but only four tokens, meaning one had to stay behind and be eliminated. Zhuang Bi chose to sacrifice himself for the others.

Lin Qingfei chased after him, "Why not try again?"

Zhuang Bi smiled, "No need. There's no chance. If we try, we'll all be eliminated."

Without the interference from the two from Divine City, they could have gotten the fifth token. But the ambush cost them at least half an hour, deciding their fate.

Lin Qingfei knew Zhuang Bi was right and didn't know what to say.

Zhuang Bi was calm, "Do well in the next stage and aim for second place."

The first place was Lin Moyu's; no one could compete with him. Getting second would be the best result.

Lin Qingfei looked deeply at Zhuang Bi but said nothing.

More enemies appeared as they rushed to the stone tablet, with the frequency and speed of their appearance increasing.

Lin Qingfei, filled with anger, transformed into a green dragon and charged, creating a path.

Zhuang Bi followed, letting her vent her frustration. They returned to the stone tablet and sent Shui Xing and Shui Zilan away.

Finally, Zhuang Bi and Lin Qingfei reached the last stone tablet, with thousands of enemies behind them.

Time was running out. Zhuang Bi quickly said, "Good luck!"

Lin Qingfei hesitated for a second before saying, "Let's have a drink after the competition."

Zhuang Bi's smile was as bright as the sun, "Sure, I'll find you then!"
