Through their explorations over these past few days, the four brothers had all discovered the profound mystery of this array.
"This person is truly too vicious; this array only has one gate of life!" Toad shouted weakly. "That means we can only break this array when only one of us four brothers is left!"
"That guy was telling the truth. He just wants to watch us four brothers slaughter each other to wear down our karmic luck," the Man in Black said with a hoarse voice.
Evidently, this grand array set up by The Shadow was meant to grind away their luck and trap the four brothers to death.
Through his divinations, he had seen the extraordinary nature of the four brothers.
A centipede dies but does not stiffen—they were remarkably resilient.
Reaching the realm of these four brothers, and with the protection of immense karmic luck, even if one were to kill them directly...
...they might somehow resurrect through a bizarre twist of fate and make a comeback.
Therefore, The Shadow's first priority was to eliminate the luck they carried.
Only by exhausting their luck and then killing them could he truly resolve these troubles.
"I can't hold on anymore!"
After Toad spoke, he slumped directly onto the ground.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably, a clear sign of exhaustion.
It wasn't just him; Yi Feng and the other two were exactly the same, all hovering on the brink of complete exhaustion.
"Toad, hold on, we will definitely think of a way out!" Yi Feng encouraged.
"Sigh..."
Toad tilted his head back and let out a soft sigh.
Before his eyes, the scene of the brothers' first meeting surfaced.
The days they spent drinking and laughing together flashed by.
The battles they fought together, exploring secret realms and facing powerful enemies, appeared in his mind.
All the events of the past were as vivid as if they had just happened.
After being separated and reuniting, the bond between the four brothers had grown even deeper.
The four of them had long since regarded each other as life-and-death brothers to whom they could entrust their lives.
But now, it seemed it was time to part once again.
And with this parting, they would likely never meet again.
Toad deliberated and gathered his thoughts, the expression on his face constantly changing.
There was the hesitation of making a choice, the sorrow of a final parting, the resolve to die a hero's death, and the unwillingness to accept their inability to break the array.
These emotions ultimately merged into a single sentence.
"Boss, just kill the three of us. Get out of here yourself, and avenge us!" Toad said heavily.
Snail and the Man in Black also looked at Yi Feng.
Yi Feng could see both despair and determination in their eyes.
These two diametrically opposed emotions actually appeared simultaneously in the eyes of his three brothers.
"Yes, Boss, going on like this is not a solution. You must make it out alive to avenge your brothers and Wenjiu City!" the Man in Black said in a hoarse voice.
"Boss, we'll leave the rest to you. We brothers are incompetent and cannot accompany you on this final journey," Snail said, heartbroken.
Yi Feng said angrily, "All of you pull yourselves together! I, Yi Feng, am not someone who clings to life and fears death. If we must die, we brothers will die together!"
Of course, it was impossible for him to kill his three brothers and live on alone.
The three brothers exchanged a glance.
Suddenly.
The three brothers deactivated their protective formations, as if they had planned this all along.
With perfect tacit understanding, they struck at the same time, directly sealing and restraining Yi Feng.
Yi Feng was trapped inside a sealed protective barrier.
"What... what are you doing?"
He looked at his brothers in disbelief, roaring and pounding on the cage at the same time.
The space inside the cage was extremely small; even if Yi Feng wanted to swing his sword, he couldn't.
However, this formation isolated him from external attacks.
Meanwhile, the three brothers ignored their own safety, exposing themselves to all kinds of attacks.
They were instantly struck by dense waves of attacks, coughing up blood from severe injuries, their auras withering.
Seeing this, Yi Feng's eyes widened and turned bloodshot.
His body trembled uncontrollably, as if in a state of furious rage and agonizing heartbreak.
He roared at the top of his lungs, "Let me go! You three, let me go right now! If we die, we die together! You are forcing me into an act of unrighteousness!"
Yi Feng continued to roar, surging all the aura in his body, wanting to break through this seal in one vigorous effort.
But unfortunately, the space inside the seal was too narrow, and it gathered the combined energy of the three brothers.
Coupled with his massive prior consumption, he was unable to break free from this invisible prison.
The three brothers continuously reinforced the seal. No matter how hoarse Yi Feng yelled, they still refused to return his freedom.
"Boss, out of us four brothers, your strength is the greatest. Only you can avenge us," Toad said weakly.
"Boss, I've lived enough in this life. My greatest fortune was having you as my boss. Although my swordsmanship isn't as good as yours, I've played with way more girls than you! Hahaha!" the Man in Black laughed loudly and freely.
"Boss, if there is a next life, we will still be brothers! The three of us will go on ahead. You must live on well for our sakes," Snail said.
Yi Feng frantically pounded on the barrier, roaring with a broken heart, "Let me go! We can work together to break this array! At worst, we brothers will die together!"
"Boss, we can't all fall here. Someone has to get out and kill The Shadow outside."
"And someone needs to build our tombstones. Boss, you wouldn't want to see us dead without even a tombstone, would you?"
"That's right, Boss. Remember to bring us brothers some good wine on this day every year."
After the Man in Black spoke, he raised his hand and struggled to form a protective barrier around the three of them.
Then.
The Man in Black took out three jugs of wine from his spatial ring and tossed them to Toad and Snail respectively.
"Toad, Snail, let's down a jug before we die, as a send-off for ourselves and our brother!"
"Alright. Snail, stop throwing up."
"Yeah, bottoms up. Boss, we'll have to trouble you to see us off. I hope we can meet again in the next life."
"We'll be brothers again in the next life!"
...
"Glug glug glug."
The three brothers lifted the wine jugs and drank deeply.
Yi Feng's eyes were red, crying out in sheer agony.
But the three brothers were determined to die and completely ignored his words.
"Ha!"
After finishing their drinks, the three brothers fiercely smashed their wine jugs.
"This array's attacks are too slow. Its intensity isn't enough to kill us quickly. Let's send each other off, brothers!"
"Alright, it will save us some torture too!"
"Let's strike together on the count of three."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
