Chapter 308: Ice Heart Art
Bai Cangshu simply looked at the Heart Demon and did not respond.
Hunting a Supreme?
Although he did not know the Heart Demon's specific strength, he assumed that since the Paradise ranked her alongside the Moon Demon, Flame Demon, and the others, she was roughly a Reincarnator of the same tier.
For a 【Strong】-tier Reincarnator to talk about hunting a Supreme could only be considered a comical joke.
Even though he had never seen a Supreme in action, Bai Cangshu had seen that 【Jiebo】, who claimed to be a Follower of the 【End Sun】, use that special ability in the Heipao Shijie.
The pitch-black sun descended, destroying almost everything; the physically powerful Homelander was practically cursed to death on the spot.
That was the effect produced in the hands of a 【Combined】-tier Reincarnator; if a Supreme were to use that move personally, Bai Cangshu could not imagine the scale and destructive power of it.
In fact, he had always been curious about what the top-tier Reincarnators in the Paradise could actually achieve at the current progress.
Judging by the swordsmanship he saw Li Qingzi use at full strength, a sword-style Reincarnator with top-tier killing ability in the 【Strong】 tier could already easily destroy a city block; given enough time and lacking countermeasures, she should also be able to cause paralyzing destruction to a large city.
And purely in terms of destructive capability, those who caused the most damage to terrain were certainly spellcasters, or masters of elements, or types like Natural Devil Fruit Ability Users.
Bai Cangshu guessed that a 【Fierce】-tier Reincarnator could probably already achieve city-level destruction.
And currently in the Paradise, the 【Four Demons】 were only viewed as being able to quickly ascend to Title-level Reincarnators because they rose quickly and possessed Breaking the Rules combat power, so Title-level Reincarnators most likely possessed 【Fierce】-tier combat power.
Calculating based on this, a 【Supreme】 would conservatively be at the strength of the 【Mad】 tier; estimating based on the degree to which a 【Fierce】-tier Reincarnator could achieve city destruction, a 【Supreme】 should possess the ability to cause devastating destruction to a small country.
The news received previously that the 【End Sun】 was going to establish the 【End Empire】 on the ocean also confirmed this point; he was not afraid of challenging the order of the real world.
"Alright, I admit, the Supreme is currently a bit stronger than us, but we can first prune away his followers~"
"I know, 【Jiebo】 was finished off by you, right, Tao Baibai? Look, you actually did that thing one step ahead of me; you are worthy of being the guy I acknowledge."
In the woman's youthful tone, there was also an undisguised Arrogance; Bai Cangshu was already quite familiar with that mindset which was entirely centered on her own judgment.
Bai Cangshu turned around; although he had cooperated with the Black Butler a few times, he would not directly talk about hunting a Supreme's followers in front of the other party.
Bai Cangshu came to Li Qingzi's side and checked the quotes received in the Stall; most were in the form of Singularity + Dimension Point, likely because he had just listed the items and had not yet received a price that satisfied him.
This type of hot-selling item required waiting for the news to spread so that those large teams could come with suitable resources.
There were also Information Brokers like the Black Butler who had time to scour around for the things Bai Cangshu wanted.
These brokers, in a certain sense, played a very important role in transactions; in order to facilitate deals and reap benefits for themselves, they would investigate by all means the resources possessed by both Reincarnators and the resources they wanted, and would even infer the opponent's preferred ability composition based on their combat style.
This kind of "thoughtful" service could indeed often help those Reincarnators who were only good at fighting get what they wanted as quickly as possible.
Bai Cangshu prepared to return to the real world to continue perfecting his "Paradise," but at this moment, he received a new quote.
【hx77754611 (Midnight) sent a quote: Secret Manual · Ice Heart Art (b+), exchange for the item in your stall, Drop Card (Nakime)】
And the girl's voice appeared in his ear again.
"I know, Luo Xi gave you the Wind God Leg, right? And you got the 【Killing Intent Wave】 from the Rose Tiger; this 【Ice Heart Art】 is the most suitable for you, isn't it?"
Bai Cangshu turned his head and spoke directly.
"Midnight? I didn't expect the code name of the 【Heart Demon】 to actually not be 【Heart Demon】..."
Hearing Tao Baibai speak, the Black Butler and Li Qingzi both suddenly realized that the Heart Demon was nearby; Li Qingzi was not surprised because she had been approached by the Heart Demon before, but the Black Butler's expression changed drastically, and he looked around in rare panic.
The Heart Demon with the code name 【Midnight】 knew that Tao Baibai was deliberately pointing out her code name and presence, just as she had deliberately said she knew about his deals with Luo Xi and the Rose Tiger.
She was not worried either; she was not one of those people obsessed with fame. Code names were things that could be changed at any time, and seeing the fear of that somewhat famous broker, the 【Black Butler】, she was very Man Zhi.
"Except for those idiots, in this day and age, who still keeps demons and gods on their lips, heh~"
The woman's mocking voice appeared in the ears of both the Black Butler and Li Qingzi, which caused Li Qingzi's expression under her mask to change slightly, though she did not refute it.
She also saw the newly appeared quote and looked back at Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu took the blue Drop Card of Nakime off the stall, let it float in his palm, and looked at the petite woman.
"Miss Heart Demon, who is not an idiot, you want this Drop Card—have you mastered a method for targeted extraction?"
【Biwa Ghost · Nakime's Drop Card (Blue)】, if one could not open Nakime's Bloodline ability from this thing, its value would be almost negligible.
But the Heart Demon had specifically brought out something like the 【Ice Heart Art】, so it was clear she was determined to get this Drop Card, which was why Bai Cangshu asked if she had mastered a way to target the extracted item.
The woman's lips curled, her smile obvious.
"That answer isn't cheap; only if you agree to join my plan can I tell you~"
【You have accepted the quote from hx77754611 (Midnight)】
【You have lost the Drop Card (Nakime)】
【You have obtained the Secret Manual · Ice Heart Art (b+)】
Bai Cangshu did not lose out on this trade; before having targeted extraction, Nakime's Drop Card would most likely only yield some Dimension Points, or some items or materials from Nakime, which were not high in value in terms of tier.
Although the 【Ice Heart Art】 had a b+ Rating, it had no lethality, so it was not considered a type that circulated well among Reincarnators.
【Secret Manual · Ice Heart Art】
【Quality: Rare】
【Description: The Nie family's ancestral mental cultivation method from the Fengyun Derived World, possessing the peculiar effect of suppressing demonic nature】
【Usage Requirement: Spirit > 9】
【Effect: After use, obtain the ability · Ice Heart Art (b+)】
Bai Cangshu was not sure if the Ice Heart Art could have an effect on the Killing Intent Wave, but since he learned from Luo Xi that the Second Tier was about the control and exploration of energy, he was prepared to try this kind of internal martial art.
The trade was completed, and the Heart Demon toyed with the Drop Card in her hand. She said to Bai Cangshu with implication:
"Tao Baibai, remember to pay attention to the news from Nihong these few days; I will let you understand that cooperating with me is a wise choice."
A flash of light shone from the Heart Demon, and she seemed to have left the Public Space directly. Hearing her words, the Black Butler also looked nervous and warned Bai Cangshu.
"You had better be careful; the 【Heart Demon】 might have some kind of ultra-long-distance killing ability. Some suspect she obtained the 【Death Note】; once real information is obtained, it is very likely that one could be killed without even seeing the person..."
The Black Butler had once investigated the 【Heart Demon】, but after finding only a little information, he dared not go any deeper. This guy's combat power might not be the strongest among the Four Demons, but her danger level was definitely the highest.
Hearing this, Bai Cangshu became even more interested; he also wanted to see what the final result would be when this kind of veteran Reincarnator directly assaulted the high-level officials of a country.
