Chapter 183: Surrender, Yu Mo or Bai Cangshu (3k)
Although Bai Cangshu did not know where that guy had taken his right arm using Apparition, the Space's notification could not be wrong; this Reincarnator with such flashy abilities had already been killed by him.
Bai Cangshu glanced at the sky; amidst the rolling thunderclouds, he felt that Enel had likely begun to notice the new disturbance on the island, though he did not know why he had not yet made a move.
He moved his shoulder, and flesh and blood began to regrow.
After using 【Blood Curse Source】, Bai Cangshu's greatest strength at this moment was his recovery ability; he turned around, preparing to leave, but suddenly, a clear killing intent appeared. Bai Cangshu looked back and saw a man in a green robe one thousand meters away, dragging a pitch-black cross-shaped longsword across the sand.
Noticing Bai Cangshu's gaze, Yu Mo's mouth curled up, and that poker-faced, rigid face became vivid.
"Tao Baibai, you truly did not disappoint me..."
Yu Mo spoke; the voice was not loud, but the tone carried a dreamlike quality.
【Jing】, who was following beside Yu Mo, tilted her head upon hearing this, her pupils focusing on this guy who had made his Avatar look so incredibly ugly. She could tell that Miss Yu Mo was very interested in this Tao Baibai.
【Jing】 let her hands hang down, sharp claws extending from between her fingers. She looked at Tao Baibai, and the other party at this moment also revealed a smile identical to hers. Jing suddenly had a premonition that she and this Tao Baibai might have a lot in common—a language communicated through flesh and blood.
Bai Cangshu stood on the beach, a powerful sense of presence washing over him. Even without swinging a blade, a hair-raising sharpness already made Bai Cangshu's skin feel pain.
Although they were all Reincarnators from the same batch entering this world, the feeling this 【Yu Mo】 gave Bai Cangshu was several grades stronger than that guy just now.
This had nothing to do with attributes or ability counters; it was just that when a person stood in a space, a powerful person would naturally occupy your field of vision. The other party's breathing, heartbeat, and even their aura would overshadow everyone else.
That was the sense of presence unique to the strong.
In this regard, Yu Mo was more prominent than 【Kai】 and 【Rose Tiger】 whom Bai Cangshu had seen before.
This guy was an existence that would make you feel pain just by standing in front of you.
"Ha, Yu Mo... I heard you've been chasing me?"
Bai Cangshu was not in a hurry to leave. He remembered very clearly that Yu Mo's abilities included 【Moon Walk】 and that exaggerated, large-scale slash. Turning his back on such a person was not a good choice.
Yu Mo was not in a hurry to strike at Tao Baibai either; she just dragged the Black Blade 【Yoru】, her sword momentum held back but not released, but no matter which direction Tao Baibai fled, she was already prepared to draw her blade instantly.
She had seen the battle of that 【Heidisi】 just now, and frankly speaking, it was a mess.
A Reincarnator could specialize in a certain aspect of ability, but they should never limit themselves to the mold of a Plot Character.
Having mastered many spells from the 【Harry Potter Derivative World】, did one have to only use spells and wands to cast magic?
If one could master some elemental magic or other instant-cast magic, how could one fall into the predicament of being unable to escape after being closed in on by a Martial Artist?
Although 【Heidisi】 was a Reincarnator who had crossed the First Tier, and Tao Baibai should not have crossed the attribute Extreme Value yet, in terms of the Reincarnator's own aptitude, that guy was far worse than Tao Baibai.
"Yeah, I thought a beast like you would, in consideration of me sparing your life back in the Dragon Ball World, take the initiative to come and surrender to me. I didn't expect... tsk, you are very unappreciative, Tao Baibai."
At this time, Yu Mo looked slow, but she had already crossed a distance of two hundred meters. Bai Cangshu still stood in place, his body turned sideways, his right arm having already regrown.
Regarding Yu Mo's claim of deliberately sparing his life, Bai Cangshu actually only acknowledged half of it.
When Yu Mo faced him back then, when he had no enhancements, she naturally had many opportunities to kill him. That Observation Haki that could find him no matter how he moved through the rain-mist forest, combined with sword skills that could cleave mountains—there were many ways to kill him.
But the other party was not doing it to spare his life; Yu Mo likely had thoughts of severing his limbs or similar operations, so she was restrained and dared not use high-power slashes, only constantly forcing him to reposition, wanting to complete the limb amputation after getting close.
Reincarnators who use special 【Cards】 to obtain a Special Sequence all have the characteristic of the 【Card】 precipitating out again after death; this is the reason why those mysterious 【Cards】 in the Space have never ceased to exist.
But those precipitated 【Cards】 do not precipitate in place; instead, they are randomly cast to other places.
Therefore, after seeing his special serial number, Yu Mo understood that killing him would not maximize her benefits. She wanted to control him, this Special Reincarnator—whether by farming him or otherwise, keeping a living Special Reincarnator by her side was the best choice.
"Then why don't you spare me again today?"
Bai Cangshu had an indifferent smile on his face as he watched Yu Mo close the distance bit by bit. The stinging pain of the blade edge about to break his skin made Bai Cangshu realize clearly that these high-ranking Reincarnators with famous reputations indeed possessed power completely different from other Reincarnators of the same rank.
It wasn't attributes, it wasn't the Rating; what exactly was the essential difference in that power...
Yu Mo smiled. At this time, the distance between the two was less than five hundred meters. For Yu Mo, this distance had already entered the full kill range.
She slightly raised the Black Blade Yoru and swung it lightly. No ability was unleashed, but Bai Cangshu clearly saw the air being torn apart, with white air currents flying out several meters before dissipating.
This guy's sword skill specialization level was likely terrifyingly high.
Yu Mo's eyelids drooped; she was no longer prepared to waste time with Tao Baibai. She shifted her blade, just about to strike, when Bai Cangshu spoke again.
"The Flame Demon has entered too, right? Do you really want to fight me?"
Yu Mo naturally knew that the Flame Demon had entered as well. In fact, that 【Heidisi】 who had just been killed by Tao Baibai was one of the Flame Demon's new team members.
But so what? She had been avoiding the Flame Demon's pursuit, not because she feared the Flame Demon, but because she did not want to become a sacrificial pawn in the struggle between those two big shots.
Yu Mo's mouth curled up; she raised her head to meet Tao Baibai's gaze.
"You think the Flame Demon can hold me back?"
"Tao Baibai, I will give you three chances. If you do not submit to me, I will behead you."
"This is... the first sword!"
Hum!
Yu Mo shifted her blade, and her right hand, along with the blade, vanished instantly.
A massive green fan-shaped arc split the beach in two in an instant.
Bai Cangshu's expression was calm. Even with this sword-swinging speed, with the assistance of his 【First of the First】 combined with 【Transparent World】, the swinging motion was incredibly obvious.
Bai Cangshu stepped to the left, the emerald-green sword light brushing past him, instantly slashing toward the sea on the other side. Over five hundred meters of coastline began to collapse, and a massive amount of seawater poured backward.
Pfft!
Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted. Several wounds appeared on his body simultaneously. Amidst the splashing blood, his pupils finally caught several nearly transparent steel wires in the air, retracting back onto that Black Blade.
Yu Mo revealed a grim smile.
"This is the first time, Tao Baibai. Are you willing to submit?!"
She was not 【Heidisi】; her sword skills would not rely entirely on Hawkeye's sword skills. She also mastered other abilities.
【Seven Flashes】—a special technique from the 【A Certain Magical Index Derivative World】. It was not sword skill, not magic, but a special technique.
Yu Mo had not studied this ability, but rather, through personal experience within the 【Training Institute】, she had mastered this technique, thereby modifying her own weapon to be able to use this extremely stealthy slash.
Bai Cangshu touched his cheek; the other party's strike had just managed to avoid his vitals.
Ha...
This guy... interesting!
Bai Cangshu completely ignored the several gashes cut into his body; such things would heal quickly, but he became increasingly interested in the famous 【Moon Demon】 in this space.
In his eyes, the opponent was the type of truly competent Reincarnator who specialized in combat and slaughter, and had honed their techniques for that very purpose.
Bai Cangshu suddenly stood with his hands behind his back and took a step forward; looking at the Moon Demon, he could no longer see anything else, his expression fanatical and manic.
"Moon Demon, then I will also give you three chances. If you cannot kill me, why not submit to me, how about that?!"
【Jing】's expression turned cold, and the Moon Demon laughed in extreme anger; she had finally witnessed the madness of this Tao Baibai.
Without a word, she also continued to step forward, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and then swung down heavily.
Pfft!
Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted; no sword light appeared, but an invisible sword pressure pierced through his body in an instant. From his shoulder to his waist, his muscles were torn apart instantly, and blood sprayed out.
But the Moon Demon's gaze also lifted slightly; the opponent's physical strength exceeded her expectations, and because she had intentionally restrained her force, she had failed to truly injure him.
Bai Cangshu felt that last strike; it was merely using extreme speed to slash the air, causing the Force of the sword swing to strike him directly from a distance, but the power was a bit lacking.
Bai Cangshu guessed that it was his non-human body structure that had caused the Moon Demon to misjudge.
He shook his head, very dissatisfied with the Moon Demon's still-arrogant restraint of her strength.
"Moon Demon, you actually haven't reached the strength of Hawkeye at all, have you? You guy probably used some tricky means to kill Hawkeye, or even... Hawkeye wasn't killed by you at all..."
"Do you still not understand?"
"You simply do not have the ability to do whatever you want with me."
Bai Cangshu continued to move forward, the wounds on his body healing once again, which confirmed to the Moon Demon that Tao Baibai indeed possessed the Tese of High-speed Regeneration, and she raised her assessment of Tao Baibai's strength in her heart once more.
She took a step forward, the distance between the two less than three hundred meters.
Gripping the Black Blade with both hands, she said softly,
"Tao Baibai, don't die..."
Bang!
A gunshot rang out suddenly; before the sound of the bullet breaking the air at high speed and the sonic boom cloud shattering had fully dissipated, Bai Cangshu was sent flying backward into thin air, his chest exploding in an instant, the massive hole nearly tearing his chest apart.
The place that originally belonged to his heart was now Empty.
The Moon Demon's pupils constricted, and she instantly canceled her sword stance; this strike came from a distance beyond her Observation Haki, and because it was not aimed at her, she had not sensed it at all.
This kind of beyond-visual-range sniping ability...
Damn it!
The Moon Demon turned to look at the distant sea; she seemed to see a man wearing a silver trench coat standing on the pier of Mock Town, the muzzle of the giant sniper rifle in his hands, over two meters long, still emitting blue smoke.
"Jing, leave first, it's that guy from 【Critical Point】."
Jing flashed away quickly and began to hide; 【Critical Point】 was one of the most famous Archers in the second power tier, having mastered the ability of beyond-visual-range sniping, and his lethality was extremely terrifying; most protective talismans in the space could not block it.
Relying on her Observation Haki, the Moon Demon prepared to confirm whether Tao Baibai was truly dead, but on the sea, a Pirate ship with a red dragon figurehead sailed into the inner sea, and the angry roar of the Flame Demon appeared.
"Tao Baibai, Moon Demon!"
"It was you two who joined forces to kill Heidisi, wasn't it!"
The Moon Demon's expression was cold and she did not respond; she walked to the corpse of Tao Baibai, only to find that in the hole in his chest, granulation tissue was constantly growing, and now the wound was much smaller; through that hole, she could see his heart was also regenerating.
The Moon Demon's pupils constricted; this guy possessed Immortality!
Bai Cangshu and the Moon Demon locked eyes, revealing a cruel smile; the next moment, he opened his mouth, his voice booming,
"False god Enel, come out and die!"
Zzz~
Crackle!
Blue-white electric light suddenly lit up the sky.
Enel's expression was gloomy; because of previous events, he had been more diligent in his supervision of that demon, and had been prepared to let these guys causing trouble outside the town go.
But these Mortals... were truly extremely rude.
