"The roles have reversed, the roles have completely reversed!"

"How the hell is this a monster siege—this is clearly a brave warrior challenging the demon lord!"

"This is our savior!"

"That gunshot was so fierce, no dorm door below level ten could withstand it!"

"Has Xu Lang already taken up the Savior Sequence?!"

"So strong, really, really strong!"

In Dorm 33, Chen Kui was shouting and hollering, his voice hoarse and raspy like an old duck croaking endlessly.

"Uncle Kui, let me see, let me see!" Ye Fan was frantic, desperately wanting to watch Xu Lang's fight.

Hearing this, Chen Kui simply cracked the door open a sliver.

The old man and the young boy pressed their faces to the gap, watching the situation outside.

They weren't the only ones doing this.

When Xu Lang descended from the sky, the second-floor chat group had already exploded. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on this battle.

...

"This is the moment!"

The bald burly man roared, the shadow amulet on his chest flashing as he appeared within Xu Lang's shadow and wrapped his arms around the latter!

The two Sages had already recovered by then. The Soul-Crushing Demon's Gaze was certainly tyrannical, but both of them had high Spirit attributes. Being controlled this long was already the absolute limit.

In an instant, a massive amount of spell formations took shape in their hands, compressed, aiming to kill Xu Lang in a single strike!

The situation changed in a flash. The players watching this all covered their mouths.

If Xu Lang fell, then the second floor's destruction wouldn't be far off.

Bai Wuya abruptly threw open his door and stepped out to rescue him.

But the moment his foot moved forward, he froze, his pupils trembling wildly.

Xu Lang pushed his shoulders outward, and the burly man's arms—thicker than Xu Lang's own waist—immediately slackened!

The next second, Xu Lang gripped the burly man's arms with both hands, fully pried them apart, and delivered a beautiful spinning roundhouse kick right on target!

A sound like a C4 bomb exploding rumbled out. The bald burly man staggered back several meters, his left chest caved in, his heart completely shattered.

"How is Xu Lang so strong? Did his Constitution surpass the commander monster's?!"

Bai Wuya's mind roared; he simply couldn't understand this scene.

No matter how high a player's Constitution was, it could never surpass a high-quality strength-type monster. This was almost an unshakable rule in the Dorm Survival Game—unless you had a pure strength-boosting Sequence, or a pile of strength-based skills and items, there was no escaping this rule.

The bald burly man died, full of unwillingness.

Xu Lang made him think of an old comrade-in-arms, Azeman, the number one strongman of Rakshasa Country.

Ssshhh ssshhh ssshhh~

Xu Lang's body shifted, the Demon Blade pulling a bloody arc as it sliced one of the Sages to pieces.

Before his death, the Sage had released a large number of defensive spells on his body, but these measures were as good as nothing against Xu Lang's blade.

A blood-red ethereal form flickered faintly behind Xu Lang.

This was the Herd Spirit ability pushed to its extreme.

With Blood Ghost, Blood Pelican Demon Blade, and War God combined, one could truly call it invincible!

Additionally, the divine power from Azeman's Tomb greatly increased Xu Lang's arm strength, further amplifying his slashing force.

A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes!

Xu Lang perfectly embodied the charm of growth.

A few days ago, he was still darting around fighting Azeman. Now, if Azeman were reborn, he wouldn't be able to withstand a few blows from him.

Pfft~

Half a minute later, Xu Lang snapped the limbs of the Red-robed Sage and thrust the Scarlet Herding Chains into his body.

The Red-robed Sage, Water Element Commander, and the beastskin-clad man were still alive.

All three had manifested projections in the Grave Pasture, which meant they had some special qualities as high-quality monsters. Xu Lang decided to try extracting from them.

Although this would cost him something, he was willing to make this trade.

Before long, the Red-robed Sage and the beastskin-clad man were drained into dried corpses.

The "Scarlet Shepherd" grew ever so slightly, but this brought Xu Lang many negative effects. It made his spine tremble, and red light surged from his eyes.

"You will die eventually, and I will wait for you in hell!" The Water Element Commander gripped the spear in his chest with both hands, still trying to pull it out. But his spine had been shattered, and even with a Water Rakshasa's endurance, he couldn't muster much strength, making the scene look especially brutal.

"All men die." Xu Lang's expression was calm as the Scarlet Herding Chains flew from his palm and stabbed into the Water Element Commander's body. "But I'm not a man—I'm a Shepherd!"

The Water Element Commander's expression froze, his body gradually turning gray and white, ultimately becoming a lifeless corpse with no nourishment left.

The Scarlet Herding Chains retracted. Xu Lang turned and walked away, picking up the drops from the other Sage and the bald burly man.

Neither of them had been erected tombstones in the Grave Pasture.

"It's all my fault for growing too fast."

Everyone says life is priceless and all men are equal, but for a Shepherd, life has a price. A cow is worth more than a sheep.

"If only killing someone would give me an extra life... if the Sequence grows to the next stage, maybe it will have that kind of ability..."

"Wait, why am I having thoughts like this?"

"Good thing Backlash Insight detected the Sequence's disturbance, or I really would have thought this was my own idea!"

An offhand thought from Xu Lang sparked a chain of strange ideas. His body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground!

He propped himself up with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, cold sweat streaming down his temples.

...

"What's wrong with Lang Ge?" Ye Fan was alarmed.

"I don't know..." Chen Kui shook his head, then suddenly froze. "Didn't he get a Butcher Sequence before?!"

"It was suspected, but not confirmed."

"Suspected means confirmed! Damn, could he be about to lose control of his Sequence? The reason he was so strong just now was because he borrowed too much power from the Sequence!"

Ye Fan sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

Chen Kui made a snap decision and closed the door.

Every Sequence Loss of Control victim would inevitably cause bloodshed, committing some kind of extreme, deranged act. Even those who were only half out of control would have their minds twisted, leaning toward the essence of the Sequence.

And what was the essence of the Butcher?

Chen Kui's heart trembled.

...

Bai Wuya hadn't thought of this. He only assumed Xu Lang was injured, frowning as he said, "Xu Lang, do you need healing items? What about your Tenant?"

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

"Xu Lang!" Cao Yaxuan rushed out of the stairwell, panic and worry practically solidifying in her beautiful eyes. "Are you okay?"

Her hand reached into her pocket, as if she was about to pull something out.

Sizzle~

Blood light flashed again, cutting upward from below, slashing open half of Cao Yaxuan's body!

Bai Wuya was stunned, rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.

"Damn, this is a real Loss of Control!"

Chen Kui's heart was colder than the frozen soil of Siberia, colder than the snow of June.

Next, the Mad King Building would turn into a slaughterhouse.

Before the monsters could even siege the building, they'd kill all their own people first.

How many damn BOSSes does this game have?

It's too hard to survive! Too hard!
