Cannot dodge, cannot block, cannot touch the body…
The Sage stood still, patted the dust off his clothes, and then wiped his grizzled temples.
"You are probably the most powerful Second-level Reincarnator I've ever seen, Tao Bai Bai…"
He seemed to be reminiscing about something, or perhaps he felt a bit bored due to his assured victory.
Tao Bai Bai's speed, which was too fast to be caught by the naked eye and could even almost tear through his physical defense by shuttling back and forth within his Mental force field, finally came to a halt.
When the Sage previously said he knew a little about physical techniques, it wasn't a cold joke; it was his usual humility.
In fact, his physical techniques were quite good. He could use Mental power to completely cover an area of nearly five thousand meters around his body, and within this range, nothing could escape his perception.
Moreover, the Sage's Strength and Agility attributes also exceeded thirty points. It could be said that when an ordinary Second-level Reincarnator specializing in physical techniques fought him, he would not be at a disadvantage.
It was just that Tao Bai Bai's speed and strength in his current state were too exaggerated, causing him to be sent flying like a sandbag.
Bai Cangshu stood still, seemingly having lost the ability to resist.
The Sage merely extended his fist and walked towards him step by step.
Dodging the attack would lead to death.
Blocking the attack would lead to death.
Body contact would lead to death.
Buzz!
Golden aura instantly condensed at Bai Cangshu's fingertips. With Evil God's Omen actively enabled, Bai Cangshu's fingers were enveloped in a crimson phantom.
The golden aura violently gathered, also appearing crimson.
The terrifying might instantly made the Sage's footsteps falter.
The surrounding air began to distort. Even from hundreds of meters away, the Sage could feel a burning sensation appear on his chest.
That was the target location for this attack.
The Sage sighed and shook his head, saying,
"I almost forgot, you also possess this ability. It indeed doesn't completely seal off your attack."
The next moment, the Sage continued to walk towards Bai Cangshu, seemingly not taking this attack seriously.
In the distance, Short Hair and Loka suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. They were not foolish; in the previous battle, they had already realized that this Sage was indeed a Title-level Reincarnator with a formidable reputation in the space.
It appeared as if Tao Bai Bai had the advantage, but in reality, Tao Bai Bai had been forced to the brink of despair.
Just by speaking, he could set fatal rules for the opponent. Such a thing, in the eyes of Reincarnators like them, who were in the First-level or just entering the Second-level, was simply inconceivable.
But at this moment, Tao Bai Bai's attack descended again. Who would be the next person to be sacrificed?
"The Chaos Sage's people should all be dead, right? Can he still transfer damage?!"
Lilith's voice was very soft. Her throat had been shot through, but she still hadn't died. Fubuki, who had her hands extended and was using her superpower to maintain Lilith's blood flow and breathing, frowned.
"Don't talk anymore. We just need to wait here… wait for that person to come back…"
Fubuki's expression was still a bit pale, but her condition was also quite good.
She controlled Lilith to float, and the few of them retreated further away. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the city had been completely twisted, half of it becoming a bizarre curved shape, while the other half was almost completely crushed.
Fubuki never expected that there truly existed an Ability User in the world who could rival her sister. The battle between the two monsters left no room for anyone else to intervene.
But no matter what, she did not believe her sister would lose. In this world, perhaps only… could defeat the Trembling Tornado.
Fubuki's heart pounded a few times, and a crimson light suddenly flared behind them.
Puff!
In the atmosphere, a burnt smell instantly permeated.
The crimson light, condensed to its extreme, instantly pierced through the Sage's chest and plunged into the ground below.
Crack, crack, crack…
The earth began to crack, and that blow, which had penetrated unknown depths, quickly caused the ground to collapse and split.
Even ground fire began to ignite.
The Sage's body swayed twice, then fell.
Lilith was controlled by Fubuki's psychokinesis to escape in the air. She looked worriedly at Tao Bai Bai's battlefield. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure appear at the end of Tao Bai Bai's finger.
Loka's face was filled with disbelief, a thumb-sized hole already appearing in his chest.
"No, no, no…"
Lilith looked back in despair, only to see Short Hair also frozen in place. Loka, who should have been escaping with them, had disappeared at some point.
"What… what kind of ability is this…"
Short Hair's eyes showed despair.
Loka couldn't be one of the Chaos Sage's people, so he could also be sacrificed by transferred damage?!
Then isn't this ability invincible?!
As long as you are in a battlefield with more than just yourself, no matter how you kill, only others will die…
The Sage calmly straightened his black priestly robe. He looked at Bai Cangshu and raised a finger again.
"Tao Bai Bai, in the upcoming battle, if you use a repeated ability again, you will explode."
The Sage imposed another restriction.
But Bai Cangshu suddenly let out a sneer.
Bang!
The sound of the ground shattering rang out, and the Sage frowned, already having been punched through the chest.
Puff!
The fist directly pierced through the Sage's body, lifting him from the ground.
The Sage frowned, and his expression as he looked at Bai Cangshu became strange.
"Tao Bai Bai… you, do you really have no sanity?!"
Bai Cangshu shook his hand casually.
Puff!
The corpse fell into pieces.
Bai Cangshu didn't care who had died and continued to stride towards the Sage.
Thump, thump, thump.
The momentum was completely opposite to before; instead, the Sage stood still.
"You wasted an opportunity, Sage…"
Tao Bai Bai's words caused the Sage's composed expression to change for the first time, and at the same time, intense killing intent became difficult to suppress.
This guy… actually grasped a hint of the truth of his ability?!
Bai Cangshu instantly felt the change in the Sage's emotions. That momentary hesitation allowed him to find a loophole. His eyes narrowed, and while marking the opponent with Arrogant Vision, a proactive assault simultaneously descended.
Bang!
The Sage retreated two steps, repelled by an invisible attack, then a second, a third…
Repeated attacks forced the Sage to continuously retreat.
Bai Cangshu continued to speak.
"I guess your ability is probably that every time I attack you, or we engage in a mutual attack, you can set a restriction on me."
"But that restriction isn't as invincible as imagined, otherwise you could directly set me to die after your next blow."
Bai Cangshu continued forward, the crimson glow in his eyes like the gaze of a true Evil God, seeing through everything.
He raised a finger, his action almost identical to the Sage's earlier.
"So your first and second restrictions were set to make me continue engaging in mutual attacks with you later."
"But the third time, you set that I would die upon touching your body. This restriction's effect, compared to the previous ones, is powerfully unlike a single ability, and it violates the pattern of previous restrictions hoping for mutual attacks between us…"
The Sage looked at this beast-like creature, actually dissecting and analyzing his abilities one by one. His lips curved into a mocking smile.
"So, you really trust your judgment that much?"
"If you guessed wrong, you would have died the moment you attacked me just now."
"And believe me, even with immortality, you wouldn't be able to exempt yourself many times…"
Bai Cangshu once again came before him, grabbed the Sage's head, and squeezed hard.
Puff!
"I won't be wrong, and I won't lose."
Bai Cangshu threw away the corpse in his hand. From its appearance, it seemed to be a companion of that Xi Luo from before, a fat man good at shooting?
He shook his head indifferently, discarding the corpse.
Through the recent probing, he also learned some bad news.
The Sage's substitute bodies were probably far more numerous than he had imagined.
So much so that the opponent had no intention of dodging his attacks at all.
This ability gave Bai Cangshu a flash of inspiration, reminding him of a certain work.
And Bai Cangshu always trusted his intuition.
Therefore, looking at the Sage, who had reappeared and was about to raise a finger to set new rules, he spoke,
"You… are actually a Demon, aren't you."
"A Demon from Chainsaw Man."
The Sage lowered his finger, his eyes terrifyingly cold. This guess was completely baseless and had no special deductive process.
But Tao Bai Bai had so directly pointed out the true nature of his ability.
At this moment, the Sage suddenly remembered what Xi Luo had said before his death.
"Tao Bai Bai has a problem."
"Then guess, how many people have made a contract with me to die for me?!"
The Sage's voice suddenly appeared in Bai Cangshu's mind. The next moment, Bai Cangshu's vision began to change, and the surroundings quickly turned into the appearance of a vast sea. Bai Cangshu lowered his head and found himself standing on an "island" only one meter square.
He looked up, and a giant dragon's head hung down from the sky. The Sage's voice came from there.
Bai Cangshu looked at his body; both Evil God's Omen and his manifested talent had disappeared. This was clearly not the real world.
He curved his lips, meeting the gaze of the giant dragon.
"Who cares about that…"
"It's just… killing a few more times, ha…"
