Chapter 318 Slaughter, Makes Me Happy (5K+ Big Chapter)
Puff!
Bai Cangshu's jade-like finger pointed at Black Knight's chest; the amulet for ranged attacks wouldn't react to such close-quarters strikes.
The suddenly unleashed Dong Dong Wave directly pierced through the silver heavy armor, carrying a blood arrow out from his back, and violently shattered a building a hundred meters away, causing a huge explosion.
Black Knight roared, and a powerful surge of fighting spirit exploded.
Boom!
The ground lifted inch by inch, then shattered and shot outwards, even the areas that had turned into lava were blasted dozens of meters away.
This was the ultimate energy burst of a second Ladder Reincarnator; Bai Cangshu blocked with his left hand, his body drifting backward with the impact of the explosion.
When the fighting spirit impact reached Bai Cangshu's body, a purple Killing Intent Ripple emerged, seemingly about to burst forth, but it was immediately absorbed by the forbidden earring on his earlobe.
Bai Cangshu drifted back nearly a hundred meters, stepping on air with his feet, his entire body spinning upwards, landing on the roof of a shop building.
Chirp!
A giant fan-shaped sword energy slashed down from the sky, and amidst the shattered soul rings, the fastest supporting Reincarnator was directly cut down to the ground from the air.
He looked at the huge wound on his chest, a light flashed in his hand, and a bottle of potion appeared, which he immediately sprinkled on the wound, and the terrifying wound rapidly healed.
"Be careful, it's Moon Demon, she's not dead!"
Such distinctive and terrifying sword arts are rare among those who master them in the space, and that abnormal sharpness is a characteristic only possessed when sword specialization is enhanced to nearly LV9.
Combining the two, he immediately guessed Li Qingzi's identity.
As the smoke from Black Knight's fighting spirit explosion dispersed and his figure was revealed, a large pool of blood had already appeared on the ground, clearly indicating that the previous hit by Bai Cangshu had caused a serious injury.
"Red Leaf, Moon Demon, and… Tao Bai Bai!"
Beneath the armor, Black Knight's eyes began to turn red, and his body suddenly started to swell.
Creak~
The sound of tearing muscles accompanied the sound of armor being stretched open, and the already massive Black Knight became even larger, his body now completely exceeding three meters, standing on the ground with immense weight.
He threw down the two greatswords, actively plunged his hands into the lava, and then as if grasping something, pulled his hands out, and two even larger molten giant swords had appeared.
Knight Never Dies Empty-handed!
Simple shaping magic combined with this special Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm allowed him to be combat-ready at any time.
Class Skill: Berserk!
He exhaled the stale air from his chest, and the blood from his lungs and internal organs, injured by the Dong Dong Wave, was expelled like a red mist, spreading around him for nearly ten meters.
Within this red mist, Black Knight activated a new ability.
The Berserk exclusive to Berserker!
His body continued to swell, and his physique and strength, after two stages of Berserk, had already surpassed 50 points, which is a special bonus exclusive to Berserker, allowing him to be unrestricted by the strength Ladder in terms of strength and physique, greatly increasing his basic attributes. Combined with his Efficiency conversion, Black Knight's actual strength was now close to a hundred points.
"You all will die!"
Red Leaf stood before the warehouse, like a great general guarding a pass. She stood sideways, her head turned, taking in the entire battle situation.
Black Knight, who had unleashed a second Berserk beyond his known information, the sudden appearance of Moon Demon and Tao Bai Bai, and the rapidly arriving Tang Kaqi—these few could all be considered seasoned Reincarnators with a certain reputation in the space.
They were all doing well in the second Ladder.
However…
Her eyes shifted, finally settling on the man in the distinctive pink robe standing atop the shop building; the other party was also looking at her with interest.
Their eyes met, and both smiled, both equally arrogant.
Red Leaf's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a powerful Mental force directly pierced into Bai Cangshu's mind.
In an instant, Bai Cangshu felt as if his scalp and nerves were being pierced by countless sharp needles.
You have suffered a Reincarnator attack. Based on the Mental strength difference between both parties, you have obtained the following information.
You have suffered a Mental piercing. Your brain has been damaged.
Thump, thump…
Bai Cangshu's heart began to beat faster again; it was a sense of oppression he hadn't experienced for a long time since leaving the One Piece World.
This woman is very strong.
The fake smile that had been on Bai Cangshu's face slowly disintegrated, then his brows relaxed, his mouth slightly open, and all the pores on his body seemed to open up—that was the look of a person truly starting to get excited, completely unfeignable.
Thump thump thump!
His heart rate continued to accelerate, and subtle electric sparks began to flash from Bai Cangshu's fingertips. His fingers also twitched involuntarily, his powerful cells becoming increasingly Active Spirit under the stimulation of electricity.
Bai Cangshu's pupils were completely focused on Red Leaf, completely ignoring the giant Black Knight, who had undergone two stages of Berserk and was holding molten giant swords.
Li Qingzi noticed this, and descended from the air. Her eyes were hesitant, unsure what was wrong with this madman Bai Cangshu again, and even less sure what she should do at this moment.
Should she continue to hunt the relatively weaker man using soul ring fighting skills, or join forces with Bai Cangshu to deal with the famous Title-level Reincarnator, or… wait and see?
As soon as this thought appeared, it lingered in her mind like the whispers of a demon. Only if Bai Cangshu died could she find liberation.
And because of the contract, she couldn't harbor any thoughts of harming him, but if she faced an utterly unbeatable opponent, then… even if she participated in the battle, Bai Cangshu might still die in the end…
The change in her gaze caused that intense sharpness to weaken.
In just an instant, Black Knight, who had activated his second stage of Berserk, instinctively sensed that Moon Demon seemed to have weakened. He didn't seem to make any move, and the ground beneath his feet exploded.
That was the ultimate speed after the ultimate power had fully erupted.
Like a wall, Black Knight, carrying intense wind pressure, crashed towards Li Qingzi.
Li Qingzi instantly sobered up, drawing her sword with one hand and slashing.
Chirp!
The emerald sword light shone again, the ground was cut open, and a huge fan-shaped light erupted. However, Black Knight, having lost his reason due to the Berserker's bloodline Berserk, would normally choose to dodge such an attack, but at this moment, he was dominated by the frenzied blood.
He actually crashed forward without dodging.
Li Qingzi's pupils contracted, seeing the giant beast in silver armor instantly cut through the air wall in front of him. Fighting spirit clashed with the slash, and the sharp slash still had the upper hand, but after cutting through the protective fighting spirit, the beast-like Black Knight had already shifted his body and crashed sideways into her.
As the sword light sliced off a piece of flesh from the man's shoulder armor, the terrifying impact had already reached her body.
Li Qingzi's figure blurred, Godspeed had already appeared, and she instantly seemed to turn into three afterimages, leaping simultaneously in the left, right, and upward directions.
Black Knight roared, and the over three-meter long molten giant sword swept horizontally.
Lava, fighting spirit, and magic power erupted simultaneously.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in mid-air, and Li Qingzi was shaken by the impact, stumbling back two steps.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Kaqi, who had been wounded by a sword earlier, had already healed. His soul rings lit up again, and he plunged his hands into the ground, emerald bamboo like blades suddenly piercing out from in front of Li Qingzi.
His attack was originally a large-scale attack covering over a hundred meters, but because large areas of the terrain here had been turned into lava by Red Leaf, his soul power was insufficient, and the Hundred-Year Soul Bamboo could not form in the lava, so the range was greatly reduced.
Li Qingzi's mind was sharp, her Kenbunshoku Haki captured this attack, and she instantly leaped into the air, continuously stepping on Moonwalk, already flying nearly a hundred meters high.
Whoosh!
Like a hurricane erupting, that terrifying movement carrying dozens of meters of air crashing forward appeared again. Under the full outburst of the maddened Black Knight, Li Qingzi found it somewhat difficult to parry…
"Tsk, Moon Demon is overrated, huh~"
Red Leaf stood on the ground, withdrawing her gaze from the two's battle. She realized that Moon Demon, once highly regarded by many Title-level Reincarnators, was nothing special.
Her heart wasn't firm enough, and her Haki was even less strong.
Even though Black Knight was a Reincarnator with more missions completed, in her opinion, a truly excellent sword master in the "Strong" tier would be enough to cut through his defenses and sever that meager head.
"Yes, she is very weak now."
Bai Cangshu nodded happily, agreeing with Red Leaf's assessment. Li Qingzi's Haki strength had repeatedly weakened under his "torment", and was now less than when they first met in the Seven Dragon Ball World.
At that time, Li Qingzi's feat of cutting open a mountain with a single sword had first shown him the power of a high-level Reincarnator, but now she was just a fragile woman.
He had no intention of supporting Li Qingzi at all.
A strong person supporting a weak person was a waste of resources.
If one couldn't even defeat such an opponent, then there was no value in surviving.
Bai Cangshu's heartbeat was already fast enough; electricity began to surge in his eyes.
Bai Cangshu shook his head, and his body also began to swell slightly.
Hongye gently tapped her forehead, finally removing the sticky influence of the Active Spirit.
Her Mental power, under the effect of efficiency, exceeded a hundred points, and more importantly, her application of energy and Mental power was completely incomparable to a beast-style user like Bai Cangshu.
"Tao Bai Bai, you are very interesting. I didn't expect you to have obtained an extraordinary characteristic like Active Spirit. Could it be that you are the legendary type that breaks through the extreme value in three attributes?"
Hongye slowly floated up, high temperatures began to appear, and the surrounding air blurred due to the rising temperature. At this moment, even if there were cameras in the distance, they would not be able to capture the overly distorted images.
Not only that, but infrared imaging and similar equipment also could not affect her.
She was able to unleash her abilities without any concealment.
There were indeed many large gatherings in space secretly cultivating multi-attribute extreme value Reincarnators, but currently, the successful ones were all breakthroughs in dual-attribute extreme values.
Overly distributed attributes made the growth cycle of such Reincarnators longer, and inherently, this type, which had attributes evenly distributed during the stage where attributes could be freely allocated in space, was extremely rare.
Reincarnators were assets of space. When space allocated attributes to you, it was actually hinting at the type you excelled in, the talent your body possessed.
Only Reincarnators with multiple attribute aptitudes simultaneously would have their attributes evenly distributed, and this approach also made it very difficult for these Reincarnators to grow in the early stages.
At first glance, it seemed very contradictory, but Reincarnators who could still grow under this distribution, because they possessed more than one efficiency and extraordinary characteristic, their actual combat power far exceeded Reincarnators of the same level.
Hongye was very clear that Tao Bai Bai was a martial artist type of Reincarnator. Not only did he obtain an ability like Dong Dong Wave in the Seven Dragon Ball World, which could continuously grow with the Reincarnator and had a very high upper limit, but he also obtained Killing Intent Ripple in a subsequent transaction.
Therefore, his main attributes must include Strength and Agility, with these two attributes being close to balanced, which was the choice of most physical combat Reincarnators.
If it were a Reincarnator after the "Strong" Ladder, they might also strengthen their attribute gaps by actively allocating attribute points.
Combining speed, strength, destructive power, and precision—this was the choice of martial artists and fighters.
And her single Mental penetration was enough to break through the Mental defense of most low-level Reincarnators, causing them to fall into prolonged stupor and irreversible brain damage.
But Tao Bai Bai merely frowned, and the space prompted her that she had been counterattacked by an extraordinary characteristic called Active Spirit.
This made Hongye conclude that Tao Bai Bai was likely an extremely rare three-attribute extreme value Reincarnator.
This could explain why he suddenly rose and had astonishing combat power, even slaying the Flame Demon and others in the One Piece World.
Bai Cangshu tilted his head, and his body finally expanded to an exaggerated size of over three meters.
When he breathed, there was the sound of wind and thunder from his mouth and nose.
"Who knows..."
He was still a hundred meters away when he spoke, but as the last word "knows" was uttered, the sound of wind and thunder exploded in Hongye's ears.
The next moment, in Hongye's eyes, the lava on the ground hundreds of meters away exploded into holes, as if an invisible giant foot had stepped over from upwind.
Spiral force stirred up white cloud fragments, and golden ripples extended four or five meters like ribbons from Bai Cangshu's right hand.
Bai Cangshu's Rakshasa Palm, in pursuit of ultimate violence, caused his arm muscles, bones, and joints to completely twist and rotate. This was no longer just a technique, but an extraordinary ability combined with physiological structure.
Crack~ Bang!
The instantaneous burst of power caused the sonic boom cloud to completely explode in front of Bai Cangshu's right palm.
His right palm shattered the sonic boom cloud, and then a terrifying spiral force erupted instantly.
Hongye's eyes twitched, and her gaze shifted to her left side.
Crimson flames appeared out of thin air from her left arm.
Boom!
The flames erupted like an explosion, directly colliding with that spiral palm.
Bang!
The terrifying impact produced an ear-piercing sound wave. The shockwave of this blow instantly extinguished the lava on the ground, turning it into dark red molten rock.
Hongye's body tilted and rolled to the side, while Bai Cangshu stood in Hongye's previous position, crimson flames burning on his right arm.
This flame was very counter-intuitive; it felt extremely hot when not in contact, but when burning on him, it absorbed the temperature from his body surface.
Moreover, through this blow, Bai Cangshu had realized one thing—this woman was not a simple spellcaster; her physical quality was very high!
A hundred meters away, the lava under Hongye's feet solidified, and she had completely absorbed the impact. She patted her left shoulder; no damage appeared, only her clothes were torn by the distorted force, revealing her crimson shoulder skin.
"Tao Bai Bai, you have great potential. Why don't you join our gathering..."
Boom!
A hurricane-like shockwave erupted from Tao Bai Bai's body. The intense will slammed against her body surface, causing friction and collision like lightning.
This powerful Haki of the Conqueror made Hongye stop speaking. She looked at Tao Bai Bai, who was exhaling white steam from his mouth and nose, knowing that he was completely immersed in the battle.
The corners of her mouth curved up, her smile becoming increasingly wild.
The next moment, her hair and body began to ignite with crimson flames, the flames dazzlingly bright.
It was as if all the light converged on her body; the light in the sky began to disappear, and then the surrounding sky turned dark red.
Scarlet Night descended.
Black Knight, who was constantly dashing left and right, leaving white smoke dragons in the air, suddenly noticed this change.
Tang Kaqi, who stood on the ground and used several soul skills to try and control Moon Demon, was calmer. He immediately warned.
"Be careful, it's Hongye's Title-level Reincarnator ability. We should retreat. Leave these people to East Xia!"
Chirp!
An incredibly piercing shriek, as if the air within several kilometers instantly vibrated.
Tang Kaqi turned his head, only to see a sword light that almost pierced through heaven and earth suddenly appearing from the hand of the woman whose mask had a broken corner.
At this moment, Li Qingzi's face no longer held that elegance and coldness. While being besieged by these two, seeing Bai Cangshu punch away the Scarlet Night, she suddenly felt how weak she had become without realizing it.
Recalling the scenes of her being humiliated, she almost crushed her hand bones.
In an instant, she unleashed hundreds of swords, each following the same trajectory. This was her realization from the mud.
If not strong enough, then become stronger.
If one sword isn't enough, then unleash hundreds of swords.
She was no longer the high and mighty Moon Demon; she was just a slave and should no longer maintain that arrogant posture. Only blood could recast her longsword and Haki.
"Die!"
The woman roared, and the sword light appeared almost simultaneously with her phantom.
One hundred-year-old soul bamboo after another shattered. His right arm emitted soul power glow and patterns. Tang Kaqi's martial spirit was very special; it was himself. He possessed a "Body Martial Spirit."
But this martial spirit, which allowed him to perfectly control his own body, was unsustainable at this moment. Intense sword light pierced through his body. The pitch-black katana diagonally cut into his chest from his shoulder, and accompanied by Li Qingzi's furious roar, it diagonally tore apart his body.
As his broken body crashed down, Black Knight had just barely crashed over.
Li Qingzi turned her head indifferently, took a step, and her figure appeared faintly tens of meters away. She caressed her black sword; the familiar Haki and sword intent made her feel as if she had rediscovered her long-lost self.
She even embraced her longsword, letting the blade rest against her body. Beneath the shattered mask, a relieved and joyful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Slaughter, how delightful ~"
