Chapter 206: The Punch of Salvation

Bai Cangshu looked at the card in his hand, and the spirit body before his eyes dissipated like points of light.

This guy...

Bai Cangshu realized that the opponent had let himself kill them on purpose; the next moment, a hair-raising killing intent appeared, and that Black King opened his eyes once more, the sorrow fading away, leaving only killing intent.

Zzz~

Zzz!

Pitch-black Conqueror's Haki washed over Bai Cangshu's body surface like an electric current, causing Bai Cangshu's 【Flame Dragon Scale】 to be triggered continuously.

And the next moment, Bai Cangshu's entire body ignited with crimson flames.

【Rank Tese: Solitary Jealous Fire has been activated, all attributes +1】

【Rank Tese: Solitary Jealous Fire has been activated, all attributes +1】

The crimson flames roared to life in the blink of an eye; ever since Bai Cangshu obtained this Tese, it had rarely been triggered, because very few enemies could make him feel such an intense sense of oppression, and the frequency of this oppressive aura was extremely high, filling Bai Cangshu's 【Solitary Jealous Fire】 to the max almost instantly.

He gained a +7 boost to all attributes; this increase was an increase to his base attributes, and through the conversion of 【Efficiency】, Bai Cangshu's Constitution and Spirit were immediately strengthened significantly.

But it was still not enough...

Bai Cangshu ignored the backlash that might occur in his body, and amidst his heart beating violently, his figure completely expanded in an instant; his talent had been activated.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu reached the most powerful state he had been in since entering the Infinite Dimensional Space.

He would never sit and wait for death to arrive, no matter who the opponent was.

Instant, activate!

Time and space seemed to slow down for a moment, but Bai Cangshu suddenly constricted his pupils; the position where the opponent had originally stood was now empty, and Bai Cangshu turned his head, just as the large area of space slowed by the 【Slow-Slow Fruit】 ability happened to return to normal.

Flesh and blood exploded in the air in an instant.

All targets illuminated by the slow beam of the 【Slow-Slow Fruit】 (objects that reflect light are unaffected) will be subject to the effect of time stasis, but after this slowing effect ends, all impacts, displacements, and other effects suffered during the ability's duration will take effect.

Therefore, the sky full of Youjie demons that had been fiercely slashed by Bai Cangshu with the Dragon-Slaying Sword were all instantly transformed into severed limbs and flesh, spraying everywhere at this moment.

Bai Cangshu was bathed in blood, and as he turned his head back, a finger pressed against the center of his brow.

The height of Black King Luffy was not great, but his lone arm appeared very long; the index finger, devoid of a nail, pressed against the center of Bai Cangshu's brow, and the scorching point of light instantly emitted high heat, making the scales at the center of Bai Cangshu's brow searing hot.

Bai Cangshu's heart sank, and an unprecedented shadow of death loomed over him; at this moment, Bai Cangshu felt an electric current pierce through all the nerves in his brain.

A massive amount of imagery flashed through Bai Cangshu's mind; the speed was so fast and the content so vast that Bai Cangshu's brain could not process any of it, as if he had evolved through the genes of humanity from the era of the amoeba, and as if his genes had developed from an embryo all over again.

Bai Cangshu's body, which had expanded to over three meters, was now shrinking instead, but at this moment, his hair stood up one by one, and the Ripple, Qi, Killing Intent Wave, and even the Yellow Springs Power flowing within Bai Cangshu's body were all turning into tiny points of light and particles, escaping from Bai Cangshu's body.

Bai Cangshu's hair moved without wind, and the fluffy hair, set off by those points of light, made Bai Cangshu's face begin to change bit by bit.

【Great Sin Reincarnator ex051, talent Anchor Anomaly, beginning re-anchoring now】

【Anchoring...】

Bai Cangshu looked at Luffy standing before him, and for the first time, through that pitch-black Haki, he saw the opponent's appearance clearly.

Hum!

A golden laser erupted from Luffy's fingertip, but even though it was pressed against the opponent's forehead, when the laser erupted, an invisible barrier appeared; no, that was not a barrier, that was 【Spirit】!

Bai Cangshu's hair danced backward, his eyes wide open, and within his pupils, the image of Garp was reflected at this moment; for the first time, he did not use that left arm, but himself, to unleash Conqueror's Haki.

Two types of Conqueror's Haki clashed intensely, and not only that, scarlet lightning began to radiate from Bai Cangshu's body surface.

The appearance of that Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the outside of his body was somewhat similar to that of the current Black King Luffy.

Luffy watched as the laser between his fingers could not break through; the two's Conqueror's Haki collided, and the opponent was no longer suppressed to the point of being unable to even emit Spirit as he had been before.

It was very clear that this brutal Reincarnator was very talented; in a short amount of time, the opponent had realized, or rather, learned his own method of using Haki.

Bai Cangshu spread his arms and let out an angry shout, his intense aura rising in an instant; he pulled with his left hand, and his movements and rhythm were exactly the same as when Garp had used 【Fist Bone Impact】 earlier.

At this moment, Black King Luffy also constricted his pupils; he seemed to see that familiar figure appear behind the opponent.

Luffy looked at that shadow in his eyes, his gaze changed, and instead of activating other abilities, he threw a punch of his own.

"Don't!"

A sharp cry rang out from behind, and Bai Cangshu constricted his pupils; his sensory ability at this moment was unprecedentedly powerful, as if his body had become a receiver, and information from all directions was being taken into his brain.

He was clearly pouring his whole heart and soul into this punch, wanting to strike the most powerful blow in this desperate situation.

But his pupils trembled involuntarily as he saw the young girl standing precariously on the gunwale beside that damaged warship, Orgins clutching the gunwale, while above them, a winged Youjie demon opened its huge mouth and bit down toward the two of them.

Bai Cangshu's control over his body was unprecedented at this moment; he even tangibly touched the state of 【Logic】 that Shen Wulong had described, and he began to understand the mysteries of every Aperture and nerve in his body; as the muscles in his left arm trembled, his fist moved an inch to the right.

That fist, shining with scarlet Conqueror's Haki entanglement, brushed against the right fist of Luffy, which was wrapped in pitch-black Conqueror's Haki, and struck toward the space above the warship.

Hum~ Boom!

First came the muffled sound as if the fist had completely shattered the air, and only then did one see the white-hot clouds and smoke splitting toward both sides in front of Bai Cangshu's fist.

At the end of the clouds and smoke was the pitch-black sky where the sun could not be seen; in an instant, it was as if a single punch had torn open a sea of clouds in the Youjie, and the terrifying fist momentum pierced through everything.

That huge Youjie demon exploded into pieces with a bang, and along with the pitch-black demon army behind it, they all exploded into meat paste and fell; the pitch-black Youjie sky was also lit up for a moment.

Bang.

The pitch-black right fist landed on Bai Cangshu's chest, and the Conqueror's Haki pierced through Bai Cangshu's body, but no damage was caused; that destructive force had completely vanished before it even touched Bai Cangshu's body.

Bai Cangshu's entire body's muscles shuddered and his joints spasmed; that overwhelmingly powerful Conqueror's Haki made almost every cell in his body howl.

But Bai Cangshu only heard a "whoosh" sound, and Black King Luffy disappeared; the next moment, a violent punch appeared in the sky, and the two God Hands had their physical bodies explode one after another.

Not only that, the huge light of the Eight-Span Jade appeared in the sky, and countless light bullets began to accurately hit every single Youjie demon.

"It's time to get back to your own world."

A gale rose suddenly, and terrifying storms appeared from all around; the corpses of the Youjie demons, the corpses of the God Hands, and even a large number of Beiheilate were all swept up by the gale and flew back into the huge hole in the sky.

The next moment, the Black King turned into a bolt of pitch-black lightning and likewise disappeared into that hole; the pitch-black Youjie vanished in an instant, and the azure sea and sky appeared once more.

Everything was like a dream.

Only the corpses on the warship and the terrifying new marks on the shattered Skuld Island could make one believe that everything that had just happened was real.

Cindy stood on the warship, laboriously pulling Uncle Orgins up; she turned to look at her surroundings, her eyes suddenly lighting up, and she waved at Bai Cangshu, who remained frozen on the broken beach in a punching posture like a sculpture.

"Hey, big guy!"

"You saved me!"

Bai Cangshu did not reveal a smile; that overwhelming power still weighed heavily on his heart.

Who exactly saved whom, and who could really say for sure.

Bai Cangshu looked at his own fist; at this very moment, he still did not understand why he had thrown his punch toward that spot at that moment.

If he had struck at the Black King, what would the result have been?

Was that which beat in that moment what is called the 【Heart】... Heh.

Crackle!

Blue thunder erupted once more, and a lightning dragon instantly pierced through the completely rigid body of Bai Cangshu.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of Cindy, Orgins, Doberman, and the others, Enel, his entire body radiating lightning, appeared at the spot where Bai Cangshu had fallen; at this moment, four new heads had appeared on his back where he had originally placed his thunder drums.

In his expression, the arrogance of viewing himself as a god was gone; his eyes were calm and cold, and the four heads on his back revealed the expressions of 【Joy】, 【Anger】, 【Sorrow】, and 【Happiness】 respectively.

Enel looked at the pitch-black, fallen Bai Cangshu, and the golden staff in his hand was instantly subjected to high-temperature metallurgical modification, forming a golden long blade.

"That guy's arm, you are ultimately unable to control it, Mortal."

The golden long blade descended, and Cindy screamed in despair.

Pfft!

A charred arm suddenly gripped the golden long blade, and immense force instantly began to make the gold twist and undergo Transformation.

Enel frowned; the opponent should have indeed been dead just now.

Bai Cangshu's heart resumed beating; he gripped the twisted golden long blade with his left hand, and his body stood up from the ground in an uncanny manner, relying solely on his tiptoes.

The shift of his center of gravity completely defied common sense; this eerie scene made even Enel take two steps back.

Bai Cangshu looked at Enel's current appearance and guessed that the other party had actually also been eroded over the past two years; perhaps this was another hidden piece left behind by the 【Lord of the Abyss】.

The opponent's methods were bizarre and endless; who could be certain that Enel was the opponent's final trump card, and whether there were still Beiheilate and Egg of the Conqueror drifting in the ocean at this moment?

Someone had initiated an 【Eclipse】 in this world, and the goal of the 【Lord of the Abyss】 was destined to be very difficult to stop.

"But you, Enel, you have misunderstood one thing."

"I have already mastered this arm."

Crackle!

Scarlet Conqueror's Haki erupted from within Bai Cangshu's body, and along with it, the Haki in his left hand also turned a scarlet color.
