Chapter 318: Assassination

~10 min read 1,880 words

A blue-and-white "skateboard" glides rapidly through the high altitude, leaving a new contrail behind it; this Single-Person Boat, propelled by the Thunder Emperor Heart, requires no sails to be unfurled as it cuts silently through the vast, dense forest in the sky.

Bai Cangshu has finally obtained a vehicle capable of carrying him for free, high-speed maneuvering, which is quite satisfying; in an instant, he is far away from that chaotic battlefield.

He would, of course, not choose to enter that battlefield covered by drones at this moment; even for him, if he were captured by surveillance equipment of that scale and broadcast live remotely, it would be a dead end.

So-called Intermediate Immortality cannot prevent erasure by the space.

However, upon realizing there was a mole in the team of the Final Sun, Bai Cangshu immediately thought of the Catastrophe Grade target, Hongye, who had appeared inexplicably in the Kokang region.

For a Reincarnator capable of being rated as Catastrophe Grade by major powers like Dongxia to be hired by the four major telecommunications fraud families is, in itself, very subtle.

With combat power like that of Bai Cangshu or Li Qingzi, as long as they are not ambushed, the ordinary armies and armed forces in the Myanmar North region can hardly pose a threat to them.

If they wished, they could completely wipe out the so-called four major families.

Especially Bai Cangshu; he can now be called completely transcendent. Poisons, gunfire, assassinations, explosions—basically all weapons in the conventional human sense cannot pose a fatal threat to him.

Whether it is laying landmines or setting traps, facing a target capable of rapid self-healing, rebirth from a drop of blood, and possessing mobility that can erupt beyond the speed of sound, all of it is pale.

If one says that for a "glass cannon" like Li Qingzi, people in the real world still have a chance to blast her to death directly, Bai Cangshu does not have this concern.

Unless it is a joint attack like the one from Dongxia involving drones, mechanical dogs, and exoskeleton armored troops, it is basically meaningless.

And even though Bai Cangshu's combat power is Breaking the Rules, he does not believe he has reached the Title-level at this moment.

So-called Title-level Reincarnators are basically all Elite Reincarnators who have crossed the second Extreme Value and entered the Third Tier of the Power Ladder.

They are the true pillars of the Infinite Dimensional Space.

They are "big shots" in the eyes of most Reincarnators.

Of course, Bai Cangshu currently carries a legacy title of Wild Rampage Hiding Light, so in a sense, he could also be considered Title-level.

However, compared to titles obtained through special Milestones or items, titles granted by the space are always accompanied by high-priority abilities.

That is the foundation of a Title-level Reincarnator's strength.

The two fly at high speed, quickly arriving above the Kokang City urban area; at this time, crimson flames are already surging dozens of meters high, and an entire industrial park is completely engulfed in fire.

Bai Cangshu glides overhead, seeing that although there are people below fighting the fire, a greater chaos has already erupted; many are looting property everywhere, and quite a few soldiers who should have been maintaining order have joined the ranks of the looters.

This kind of chaos is clearly the result of the person in charge having already died.

Furthermore, these people below know the person in charge is dead, which is why they are rioting so rapidly.

Bai Cangshu has excellent dynamic vision; even from a height of several hundred meters, he can see the figures below clearly.

He is tracking the "people moving against the flow" among those looting and fleeing.

Viewed from the sky, the traces of such people are very obvious.

He eliminates their identities one by one; those still heading toward casinos or hotels at this time are likely not Reincarnators. Where would Reincarnators go at a time like this...

Bai Cangshu suddenly sees crimson flames erupt again in the distance; he quickly tilts his body, and the speedboat starts up rapidly in the air at a speed exceeding one hundred knots.

Outside that massive warehouse, the woman codenamed Hongye stands before the warehouse gate, her hands hanging at her sides, as two walls of crimson fire completely surround the warehouse.

"Hongye, are you going to betray His Excellency the Final Sun?!"

The man wearing a full set of heavy silver armor holds a Claymore in each hand; he is nearly three meters tall, and standing on the ground, he is like a small giant, full of oppressive force.

Through his faceplate, his voice is low.

Hongye makes a very unrefined tsk sound, uses her left hand to brush the hair on her cheek behind her head, and then ties her hair up with the red string on her wrist.

With the change in hairstyle, her temperament also becomes completely different. On ordinary days, she always maintains a casual posture of working for whoever is willing to pay, her expression languid.

But at this moment, a flame-like aura rises on her face, and her entire Spirit seems to come alive, beginning to radiate a strong sense of presence.

"At this point, you're still saying such stupid things, Black Knight, you really are useless~"

"Do you know why in everyone's eyes you don't compare to the newcomer Show..."

With a single casual sentence, she provokes the anger of the man in heavy armor.

"Because you, your purity is not enough~"

As the woman says this, her voice also begins to rise; the woman lowers her eyelids, not taking the heavy-armored swordsman, whose Fighting Spirit has begun to burn, seriously.

In her view, the gap between the strong and the weak is not about the number of Attribute Points, not about the level of Bloodline, and not about how many powerful abilities one has mastered.

The decisive gap between the strong and the weak lies in the Essence!

The more one is in a life-or-death battle, the more that difference in Essence is highlighted; some grow stronger the more they fight, braver the more they are frustrated, while others collapse and explode under the pressure of death.

Only the truly strong will always believe in their own eyes, believe in their own heart.

Instead of clearly seeing what one is doing, yet because of fear of one's own strength, shouting here like a child, "Ah Hongye, what on earth are you doing," "Are you going to betray the Final Sun?"

These words are all expressions of the other party's lack of self-confidence.

It is precisely because Black Knight fears her and wants to avoid fighting her that he thinks of finding room for maneuver in this situation.

"Betray the Final Sun, ha~"

"Isn't that kind of thing obvious!"

She raises both hands high and begins chanting directly; those characters completely incomprehensible to humans form runes directly in the air, and a terrifying oppressive force descends suddenly.

The steel-like muscles beneath Black Knight's armor tremble instinctively, and the three people behind him also lower their postures simultaneously, their faces changing drastically.

"What do we do, Black Knight, make a decision quickly!"

"Should we retreat? How much longer until reinforcements arrive?!"

"Retreat, we are no match for her!"

The three shout at the same time, but none of them abandon their leader, Black Knight. They have heard of the reputation of the Crimson Night, but they had assumed that a spellcaster would not have much of an advantage against them.

But as Hongye begins to chant Magic, the restless elements in the air and that fear that makes their whole bodies tremble make it almost impossible for them to think normally.

Black Knight is also extremely conflicted; in the end, he fears the judgment of the Final Sun more. Unlike an outsider like Hongye, his entire family has already been relocated there.

"Kill!"

Following his order, Fighting Spirit erupts completely from his body, condensing on his skin; blue flames burn behind him, and the entire man raises his twin swords, instantly leaping across a distance of several hundred meters to slash at the space below.

The cross-shaped sword light slashed down with a boom, but Hongye merely raised her left hand while finishing her chant.

A Magic circle lit up before her.

Clang!

The cross-shaped sword light landed on the Magic circle, causing it to sway only twice.

Hongye raised her eyes, looking at the Black Knight who had resolved to fight her, feeling even more disdainful.

Even if the opponent was determined to fight her to the death, it was still not out of their own heart, but rather a fight forced upon them, a fight based on weighing pros and cons.

This Black Knight lacked the qualifications to become a powerhouse.

She raised her head and flipped both hands upward simultaneously.

Boom!

The surrounding ground exploded all at once, and crimson flames and magma transformed into large snakes emerging from the earth.

"Ah!"

In just a single exchange, the Reincarnator specializing in Shooting Mastery at the very back of the four-person group was bitten by a magma snake and began to burn amidst the flames.

The Black Knight slashed repeatedly with his twin swords, shredding the snakes around him, and landed a hundred meters away; the surrounding terrain had already begun to be altered by Hongye's Magic, turning completely into magma, making it impossible for ordinary people to stand.

His movements were also restricted.

The Black Knight continuously slashed out sword Qi to help his teammates with their Survival, while his own position moved further and further back; he was waiting for reinforcements.

Three teams had been deployed locally; as long as everyone gathered, they would certainly be able to...

Hum~

Amidst a violent trembling sound in the air, a strong sense of sharpness rushed toward his face; the Black Knight turned his head to look at the sky, where a massive emerald-green sword light was slashing down from Heaven.

This is...

He crossed his twin swords to block in front of him.

Boom!

The massive impact force sent the Black Knight sliding backward for dozens of meters; once he stopped his Footwork, he saw a man wreathed in the light of several Soul Rings flying in from the distance in the sky.

And on the other side of the sky, a woman dressed in green robes held a long sword, her killing intent oppressive.

"Black Knight, watch out!"

The man in the sky, whose Soul Rings were fully revealed, shouted a warning; suddenly, a breeze blew from behind him, and an entirely unfamiliar aura abruptly manifested.

The Black Knight was startled and immediately slashed back with his twin swords.

A tall man appeared from the wind, his pitch-black fist striking out fiercely.

Clang!

The fist collided with the Claymore, and a terrifying force accompanied by a massive shockwave emerged; the Black Knight's toes erupted with Fighting Spirit, and the ground shattered.

【Explosive Footwork】!

Bang!

His figure retreated instantly, but that figure was so fast it was a blur, catching up to his Footwork in an instant and pointing a finger out.

Golden Qi shrieked, piercing through the Black Knight's body in an instant.
