Chapter 34 Sound Kill Underworld (3K+)
When Hong Chen heard Tao Bai Bai's words, he merely smiled. He wasn't showing off or making a victory declaration; he simply found fighting Tao Bai Bai quite enjoyable.
Reincarnators, due to the scarcity of early-stage resources and the uncertainty of ability acquisition in the space, found it difficult to obtain specific types of abilities without the support of team resources.
Therefore, most Reincarnators' abilities, to put it nicely, were diverse, and to put it bluntly, were numerous but not specialized.
Furthermore, close-combat and physical-technique Reincarnators had a higher mortality rate than those specializing in ranged combat or spellcasting due to their fighting style.
It was a rare opportunity to encounter a master who specialized entirely in physical techniques.
Hong Chen swung his Snow Drinking Saber twice, and the surroundings were already enveloped in an icy mist. His extraordinary trait, Howling Wind Cold, allowed him to lower the surrounding temperature when moving rapidly in any form, and additionally enhanced the effect of wind and cold energy.
He watched as Tao Bai Bai's muscles swelled again, his body exceeding two and a half meters, and crimson flames appeared on him. Undoubtedly, Tao Bai Bai belonged to the second Ladder of experts.
Such exaggerated physical attributes already possessed the strength to overwhelm some unqualified Title-level Reincarnators. It was no coincidence that the opponent could single-handedly kill Seven-Colored Magic Guide · Kirin Temple.
But…
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Hong Chen, a member of the Chaos Sage, the second Servant team under Supreme Expert Destiny Eternal."
"Although you have some conflict with that girl Baimian, I will still ask: are you willing to become a follower of Supreme Expert Destiny Eternal?"
When Hong Chen saw talented Reincarnators, he would habitually try to recruit them. This was his philosophy: not all strong individuals needed to be killed. Only by having more strong individuals on one's side could victory be achieved more easily.
"Shut up!"
A sudden roar erupted, and Hong Chen instantly felt a strong, distorted negative energy seize his ability to speak.
Dark Cursed Energy continuously dripped from his body like blood. Millennium Bug walked over from a distance, his head bowed, his figure like a twisted monster, constantly swaying within the embrace of Cursed Energy.
The effect of this Cursed Speech was extremely potent; Flower Fairy, who was listening through the cactus, also had her ability to speak taken away.
Bai Cangshu turned his head, looking at the man in black who had not lost his memory despite regenerating a new head. He knew that the other party had likely resolved the demi-human's hidden danger through some means.
With this, the opponent was indeed quite difficult to deal with, of course… that was for others.
Bai Cangshu opened his mouth. He found that as long as he didn't want to speak, this Cursed Speech wouldn't prevent him from opening his mouth. He gained a deeper understanding and speculation about this Cursed Speech ability.
Whew~
Bai Cangshu greedily breathed in the cold air to alleviate the increasingly frantic and surging Killing Intent Ripple caused by the powerful display of these two Reincarnators.
The Killing Intent Ripple was already burning in his chest and brain. His fingers twisted bizarrely a few times, suppressing the urge to remove the restriction at that moment.
I really want to fully Liberate my Killing Intent Ripple and kill these two guys right now~
Especially…
Bai Cangshu's gaze shifted from the man in the black trench coat whose Cursed Energy had finally become intense and distorted. What he had always wanted to see before was the other party's current appearance.
That look of suppressing his increasingly frantic Mental state with rationality simply made it difficult for him to become interested.
But when the other party finally revealed his true form, Bai Cangshu found someone who could make him even more "excited."
This red-haired swordsman, the opponent was undoubtedly also a Reincarnator specializing in physical techniques. His enhanced ability was likely in the Martial Arts Specialization category. Combining Luo Xi's intelligence, Flower Fairy betrayed them to join Chaos Sage, and in a direct conflict, severely wounded Red Lotus and seized the resources from that Fengyun world.
Thump, thump, thump…
Bai Cangshu's heart beat faster and faster. Accompanied by the sound of terrifying muscle expansion and tearing, Bai Cangshu's body instantly exceeded three meters.
That oppressive feeling, based on physical prowess, directly assailed him.
He looked at Hong Chen, his toes touching the ground, strength converging from each muscle, then erupting at a single point.
Crack.
The ice-covered asphalt road instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks, radiating for hundreds of meters.
Hong Chen, seeing this, also took a sharp breath of cold air, gripping his saber with both hands, his body taut like a bow.
Bang!
The cracked ice and the asphalt road beneath it turned to dust. Amidst the intense burst of power, Hong Chen's vision went blank.
The speed of the opponent's instantaneous burst was already superior to his.
He didn't even look, his body instantly flowed naturally like water, the air in front of him instantly emptied, but Hong Chen also rotated with that impact.
Bai Cangshu's Sage Art: Great Magic Spear missed completely for the first time. The air made a soft pop, and a blazing white smoke column shot out from beside Hong Chen, instantly piercing holes several meters deep in the ice.
Hong Chen's peripheral vision swept across, and he knew that Tao Bai Bai's Martial Arts Specialization had probably also exceeded Lv7, with his power leaving his body without dissipating. He was even happier. His Water Shifting Steps stepped out again, and following the turbulent air created by the thrust of the Great Magic Spear, his body spun and floated, gripping the saber with both hands and slashing horizontally with force.
Fifth Style: Plum Blossom on Snow!
The enormous ice-blue saber aura reappeared.
This saber strike seemed to carry all the turbulent air stirred up by Bai Cangshu, instantly coiling back. Bai Cangshu did not retreat a single step; he stepped forward, and amidst the booming sound of the ground shattering, he clenched his left hand with force.
Rip!
Blue-white electric light lit up from his fist out of nowhere, and the surrounding, already pervasive, ionized air was instantly activated.
Dark Lightning Fist!
Boom!
Bai Cangshu's punch was incomparably fierce. As his left fist struck out, the lightning in the air within dozens of meters in front of him exploded simultaneously, forming a gigantic lightning ball with a diameter exceeding ten meters. The force of the punch, Killing Intent Ripple, and lightning power violently erupted within it.
The blue-white saber aura had not yet fully reached him when it slammed into the Dark Lightning Fist, and the two energies collided, then exploded with a bang.
Puff, puff, puff…
Shattered saber aura shot out from the explosion. Bai Cangshu was instantly pierced by several saber auras. Before blood could flow out, it was frozen. The icy internal energy remaining in the saber aura continuously circulated within his body, hindering the speed of his physical healing.
And Hong Chen was also sent flying by the lightning and Killing Intent Ripple. His red hair stood on end, and his body appeared scorched. He coughed, and some dark blood flowed from his nose and mouth, also injured by the lightning and Killing Intent Ripple.
But he merely circulated his breath, and powerful internal energy flowed through his meridians, immediately alleviating his injuries significantly. Martial Arts Internal Arts were far superior to energies like Battle Qi in areas such as internal vision, breath regulation, and even healing.
Hong Chen raised his Snow Drinking Saber high and slashed down fiercely.
Astonishing Cold Glimpse!
Bai Cangshu raised his left hand, and the saber aura slammed onto his king's left arm. As the saber aura shattered, Bai Cangshu was once again wounded by the fragmented saber aura.
Hong Chen's power and energy seemed inexhaustible. He leaped high and slashed down again.
First slash, second slash, third slash!
Massive saber auras continuously fell, completely freezing the earth. Bai Cangshu's entire body was bruised, and half of his body had been cut into the ground, with purple injuries all over him.
The overwhelmingly powerful internal energy made Hong Chen's output capability almost comparable to that of spellcasters.
Sizzle~
Current flowed within Bai Cangshu's body, and the icy cold began to melt.
Thump, thump, thump…
Like a dense drumbeat, Bai Cangshu's heart rate was constantly approaching a certain extreme. His face, somewhat stiff from the freezing internal energy, split into a grin. He had a premonition that he was gradually approaching that realm…
That realm of understanding everything!
Hong Chen landed from the air, gripping his saber with both hands. He prepared to strike off Tao Bai Bai's head with a single blow.
"Domain Expansion, Sound Kill Underworld."
A clear, low voice sounded. Hong Chen and Bai Cangshu, immersed in their battle, both froze simultaneously. Dark Cursed Energy engulfed everything, and the surroundings plunged into complete darkness. Then, rows of bronze chime bells appeared from the darkness.
These chime bells seemed to extend endlessly, their bases emitting a faint green light, decorating this dark Domain with a sinister and terrifying ambiance.
Millennium Bug stood within the Domain, his hands releasing his hand seals. His eyelids were lowered, his face expressing pain and mockery.
These two seemed to have completely ignored his existence, yet clearly… he was the strongest one here~
The higher the level of a demi-human's immortality, the deeper the pain brought by this ability. Without any bloodline ability to reduce the pain of death, each death would involve a complete experience of the suffocation and physiological struggle that death brought.
And each resurrection would create a severance from everything that came before. That form of resurrection, completely detached from the physical body, made Millennium Bug question more than once whether he was still himself.
Compared to a living person, as a demi-human, he was more like a clone. Perhaps his true self had already died, and only a clone with his memories and personality remained alive.
The despair spurred by immense Mental pressure had long since pushed his Cursed Energy beyond its limits, reaching the level of a broken second Ladder.
It was just that he was truly too pained, so he heavily invested in a Flashback Computation (from The Irregular at Magic High School) magic within his body. Once memory was lost, it would passively and quickly recall all memories in a reproduced form within a very short time.
This method was extremely painful but also significantly strengthened his Cursed Energy.
Every time he was targeted by someone in this head-removing manner, he would passively relive all painful memories and fall into this special state akin to "awakening."
Millennium Bug clutched his head, tearing open his scalp. The overly strong Cursed Energy made it impossible for him to use Reverse Cursed Technique.
But none of that mattered anymore…
Watching the two within the Domain instantly react, one closing his ear orifices with internal energy, the other repeating his trick of destroying his own hearing.
Dong~
Rows of chime bells began to ring. Hong Chen's expression changed; even with his ear orifices sealed, he could still "hear" the sound.
"In my Domain, hearing is meaningless."
Millennium Bug explained calmly. He looked at the two, raised his hands, and all the chime bells began to vibrate.
The completely meaningless sound, free from the restriction that Cursed Speech required people to understand the meaning of the language to be effective, began to directly cause confusion for the two.
"Hong Chen, die."
Millennium Bug spoke calmly.
The next moment, the light in Hong Chen's pupils, who held his precious saber and whose internal energy protected his body like a three-foot aura, instantly disappeared. His body crashed to the ground, the Snow Drinking Saber plunged into the ground, vibrating slightly.
Bai Cangshu, seeing this, felt his heartbeat rapidly climb to its limit.
Reincarnator EX051, talent re-anchored, entering manifestation state…
Millennium Bug looked at Tao Bai Bai indifferently, a smirk on his lips, his expression mocking.
He understood the weakness of so-called immortality best.
"Tao Bai Bai, sleep eternally."
Bai Cangshu's expression froze, and his violently beating heart suddenly quieted. The next moment, his massive three-meter-plus body also crashed to the ground.
